A new way to flex, or be flexed on?
Journalists want to re-create Twitter on Mastodon. Mastodon is not into it.
pEver since Elon Musk completed his $45 billion takeover of Twitter last month, there has been a steady stream of users, including a number of journalists, signing up for Mastodon, an open-source alternative.

Spring for Twitter - my new favorite Twitter client | AppleVis
Wasn't sure where to post this, as it has both an iOS, iPadOS, and macOS version. Decided on here, but let me know if that was a bad choice.
