Shared some thoughts on the current state of (as a social media professional) in this blog post. Also gave some props in the article, for being such an amazing platform and community. --> linkedin.com/pulse/meteor-land

So how are peeps feeling about all the press and attention that has been getting lately?

“[Elon] …it turns out that most people do not want to participate in horrible unmoderated internet spaces full of shitty racists and not-all-men fedora bullies.”

“ write as many polite letters to advertisers as you want, but you cannot reasonably expect to collect any meaningful advertising revenue if you do not promise those advertisers “brand safety.” That means you have to ban racism, sexism, transphobia, [etc] that is totally legal in the United States..”

question... Wondering if this app is gonna let companies have accounts like the bird app does? Or is it limited to only individuals?

Love this platform but the default viewing mode is not designed for someone with ADHD tendencies. Now were's that "settings" thingie to turn of all these moving parts?!

Been a minute since I was on . How's everyone holding up over here? Lots of crazy crazy going on out there in the world. Is Moore v. Harper freaking others out as much as it is for me?

You know what's great about ? When I ask a question, people actually respond to me! It's not like "that bird app" where if you are not famous or infamous it's pretty much like yelling into a void. Nice choice with the Community Firehose... to give us regular people a chance to be heard.

Anyone know how many users/accounts the platform is up to now?

From a functionality perspective, Twitter is like kindergarten compared to which is basically like grad school.

Thanks, all! I found Ostrich mode and checked that. It worked!

functionality question... There's a blue bar with scrolling text at the bottom of my left column. How do I make that stop scrolling? Things that constantly keep moving, annoy me on my website window.

Any other mothers out there who have zero plans for Mother's Day?

I like how we refer to it as "The Bird" here. Not like you see that name used commonly elsewhere.

Been away for a few days focusing on work. What did I miss???

Whoa... I can stream (legit) news sites here? The functionality in this place is unbelievable. Kudos to @th3j35t3r for creating an amazing feat of functionality. Truly impressed. And I'm someone who spends all day on social media sites for a living, so it's not easy to impress me on this topic. Usually I'm annoyed by functionality limitations. This place does everything!

You know, I have to say that it is so refreshing to be able to read thoughts from real people without having to constantly sift through a firehose of Russian bot disinformation. I'm not sure people even realize how toxic Twitter has become in certain spaces there.

This platform seems like a great place to organize action nation-wide around saving the U.S. . Midterms are coming soon. Who's in?
