[kwlug-disc] Mastodon: some interesting articles

[Znoteer]

Hi,

I'm on neither twitter nor mastodon, tho I may one day try something like mastodon.

Given the recent threads on the subject of the those two here, I thought I'd share my morning's rabbit-hole adventure with you.

It started when I opened the home page for "The Conversation" and found this article:

https://theconversation.com/what-elon-musks-destruction-of-twitter-tells-us-about-the-future-of-social-media-194895

>From there, and not in order of having found them (I had to recover some from closed tabs)

And, finally, some statistics from 10 a.m. EST this morning as seen on #debian-quebec on irc
