@f7d0478e by now I'm quite frustrated, how journalists are treating Mastodon. They report(ed) about Mastodon as a Twitter alternative, but completely fail to report about any content discussed here. I just stumbled upon another article in the form of "I created a Mastodon account, followed 6 people and 4 news bots. Somehow this doesn't seem to work for me."
