Recently the new owner of Twitter had a meltdown which resulted in temporarily or permanently banning many journalists. In addition, Twitter started blocking direct links to Mastodon. I started following a number of these journalists on Mastodon. Here are a list of some of them:
- Taylor Lorenz: https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz
- Matt Binder: https://mastodon.social/@MattBinder
- Donnie O’Sullivan: https://mastodon.social/@donieosullivan@mastodon.ie
- Micah Lee: https://mastodon.social/@micahflee@infosec.exchange
- Drew Harwell: https://mastodon.social/@drewharwell
- Steve Herman : https://mastodon.social/@w7voa@journa.host
I may add more as this develops.
Why am I posting these here? Because I can’t post them directly on Twitter and I can’t link my Toot on Mastodon either. So this is a test to see if I can post links to my personal blog, which will have links to Mastodon.
By the way, you can follow me on Mastodon here: https://mastodon.social/@mullaney
