Still unsure about Mastodon, but set up a profile because it's good to have backup plans: https://t.co/YzOiV4P1AI

Now checking out https://t.co/kUD8ASQhbU to import the accounts I'm following on Twitter tha have already made the switch.

@adamdavidson What's you POV on having journalism-affiliated folks request to join (i.e. me, non-journalist working on journalism tech)?

[Daniel Newman is no longer posting here @CreativeNewman]

Wow.

NPR issues internal guidance on Twitter: don't advertise your handle, but don't delete it because someone could take it and impersonate you.

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

We’re now officially the unofficial Twitter account for a defunct Broadway musical.

Why is this allowed?

@inkblurt Ooooh. Like the GTFS standard that exists for public transit (https://t.co/3Y8CVtvEbc), but for school closings... or public meetings records... or RFP announcements... I *really* want this to exist.

And, of course, if Twitter were to go away, folks like me might actually have to write and edit something more substantial to get their ideas out instead of merely tweeting out half-baked threads.

Been thinking a lot about what it might mean if Twitter were to go away.

For one, losing this giant repo of mostly-public content isn’t great for the health of the open web… especially if it that content goes to closed platforms. 1/

Also, if Twitter were to go away, companies might actually have to make their front line customer service less terrible instead of using social media escalations as their escape hatch to excuse otherwise bad service.

@dewbertdc @wmata @JWPascale Bonus, that looks like the same body housing as all the new fare gates they just installed throughout the system—so maybe they can retrofit a different barrier onto them after all?

The fact “verified user Keanu Reeves” is still active many hours after going viral is the biggest warning sign yet that this is all going to go to hell rather quickly (which is exactly @abnerpastoll’s point).

Your local public radio station could do a lot more good with your $8 a month than a billionaire.

@treygraham Close! It's a pie divider! (It scores the top to show you where to cut, and it can also be used to cut vents in pie crusts) Details: https://t.co/eYeI47IeV3

"A convoluted way to ____" describes much about the NPR member station/mothership relationship... but I'm so encouraged and excited to see this long-planned collaboration coming to fruition!

[Sarah Scott Scire @SarahScire]

asking podcast audiences to become recurring donors to their local radio stations might seem like a convoluted way to generate revenue — but this is @npr!
