Biased news
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNCAcfna2W4
I think it's worth being careful about this kind of stuff and especially appearing too certain about knowing exactly what the future holds.
The biased/fake news line can easily be used by reactionaries to then go on a purge against anything which is outside of a narrow window of normativity.
Any of us old enough know that all news is biased and that it's really just a question of being what was once known as "media savvy". You may notice that right wingers are quick to write off things like academic media studies precisely for this reason, because critical analysis of stories works against their interests.

I was just looking at the musings of @Gargron yesterday, and I love his vision for the #Mastodon platform. What I question, though, especially considering I'm the head of a division of a company, now, no matter how small, is how that vision will be accomplished in a world of instant gratification and advertising. How will companies change their mindsets, as well as their promotion methods in order not to have to rely on the big centralized networks? Especially for startups trying desperately to get up off the ground. I would love to hear thoughts and comments on this.

RT @ScarletMagdalen@twitter.com: Kinda done with the armchair socialists who don't want to do anything, don't want to vote, and just complain everything's bad anyway so why bother. Either run for office, help a socialist or democratic socialist by campaigning for them, or stfu.

Unless it's hidden somewhere, but if so, then it's far, far, away.
then again, there's really no need to develop any more plugins for #Wordpress. Seemingly #DNNCMS is the one needing the open source love; seems that the forge went off somewhere and now doesn't exist.

In other words, possibly more development opportunities.
Surprisingly, I'm starting to have no particular personal preference for either. I think I know some people in my circle who might be proud of that.
