2/ Conservatives have Truth Social. And Parler. And (now) Twitter. And they are fighting for #election2024 now.
So, whether Mastodon, or right here on #CoSo. Or Tribel. Or wherever. We need to help others adopt these new spaces with an eye towards #election2024.
Life will be MUCH MORE COMPLICATED if Republicans take back the White House in 2024. So, let's put in some work to help people learn these new tools.
@mPony Agree! #CoSo has its strengths (which is part of why I'm sticking around here!) Whether it will gain more widespread adoption is left to be seen. But, again, the bigger picture is, general society still needs town squares for civil discourse without hate and overt rhetoric, so we have to be prepared to make these new spaces work. What happened to the bird site is not random!
@duaneaubin Can't jump into 2024 elections. I need a break. We all need to stop thru the holydays and take a moment to have with our precious loved ones and take care of ourselves. Politcs schmolitics

@MaSherry I hear you! Self-care never needs permission. Refresh, renew, revitalize, rejuvinate...do take care of you. All I'm trying to do, at this point, is raise the level of conversation about platform ease of use to see/set it within a wider context.
@duaneaubin
I'm way outside the box Duane
You can listen to my podcast. See if you resonate with the comedy and the pathos thru my lens. thanks for joining the #cosofamily

@MaSherry I'm a third of the way through your Episode 6 - Men! and I absolutely resonate with and affirm your insights and contemplations. I continue to learn about, and speak out and stand against misogyny, chauvinism, toxic masculinity, sexism, with men (especially where this intersects with institutionalized white supremacy and racism) and as a parent.
Wow! Honored that you took the time to listen and feedback. Hope I made you laugh too. We need joy
@MaSherry I'm looking forward to listening through more of your work - and I will continually circle back :-)
@duaneaubin Thank you kind sir
Happy to discuss and wander thru these crazy times....
Witching you the best all ways
@MaSherry Herschel Walker said "This erection is about the people," and I was reminded of your "Midterm Erections" which is next on my listening list! https://anchor.fm/sherry-glaser/episodes/Midterm-Erections-e1r4dba
@duaneaubin I guess I'm a sort of prophet.
I saw that "Freudian Slip" I love how the truth finds a way.
Agree. Give us a few weeks to heal from the midterms. I worked on 14 races including Warnock’s.
Don’t ask me to start on 2024 until I get my breath. There is more to life than politics.
I swear there is.
@duaneaubin I think the issue with Mastodon is more to do with how difficult it is to get traction with a post. On here everyone sees your post. I saw it, I agree with it. Had you posted it on Mastodon I probably would not have seen it. That's why I prefer here to there, and why I #talktostrangers here.
