I officially have more, faster, and higher quality interaction on mastodon than twitter for my security-based posts lol, this thing may actually work over here.

Mastodon is insanely more rewarding for me than Twitter. With about a 10th of the followers, it draws almost as many views to my videos as Twitter. The platform is really, really good.

I also love the feeling of using an #opensource platform to communicate with people.

@thelinuxEXP It was great. I expected to see https://killedbygoogle.com/ in the show notes.

@thelinuxEXP And also in your peertube chanel 😉

If you missed it yesterday, I took a look at how #Google killing their services is a big problem for their image, their users, and the confidence people have in any new service they’ll introduce in the future:

@warper yo aprendí #Assembler en la ZX-Spectrum y eso me sirvió para manipular archivos binarios en #x86.

So it seems that trolls of the Trumpist frozen peach variety, mostly those who set up their own Pleroma instances when Parler got taken down, are undertaking a semi-coordinated effort to target journalists who sign up on Mastodon for a couple of reasons...

* Trump has taught them that professional journalism and critical thinking are elitist and bad so lets harass them until they go away

* they are trying to prove some sort of point that this place can be just as toxic as their beloved Frozen Peach in Chief's microblogging site

If you are a journo and you get dogpiled by trolls DO NOT ENGAGE with them at all! Immediately:

1. REPORT them to your instance mods, THEN
2. Block them

Step 1 is very important! This isn't twitter or facebook...mods will take swift action, and if they don't you can migrate instances to better moderated ones...
