America is not perfect. Far from it. But there are ideals worth fighting for, values worth pursuing, even when we fall short. Don’t abandon it to the totalitarians.

Hey Ken, I know you’ve given up on Mastodon, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask - any chance you could post this over there? Your account still has 100k+ followers, and this article is Just That Good, IMO
I did retweet(post, whatever) the one you posted last year, but it’s a substack link. 😬
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to offend, but I really deeply dislike Mastodon’s vibe.
It’s like being trapped at a party with two other people: one who demands you debate them on whether Dick York or Dick Sargent was the better Darrin, and one who becomes irate that you said the word “Dick.”
Mastodon would have a lot fewer problems if there were only two people there lol.
Part of the major issue is that there’s so many people over there that even without the algorithm/feeds you still get swarmed(if you’re a large account)
Yeah, no, I was joking myself a little bit.
My Mastodon feed is…daunting, and I’m following around 480 people. But I have an awesome iOS client (Mona) that helps dial it in*
I don’t really use the instance feeds, other than time to time.
*I’d really like to see BS get more 3rd party clients.
