I've been monitoring five social networks and none have the features and the diverse population of Mastodon.

I wish there was a way to assemble the "news pulse" posters, journalists, officials, cities, scientists that the other site had in 2014 when it had real utility.

Although many of the above are here, they don't represent the density they did there back in the day and are not investing as much time, which is understandable.
