As this editor reported Thursday night, the whole mood of Twitter was that it was going to collapse at any second because so many employees had elected to leave, leaving no one to run the site. The self-important shared their “last words” on Twitter along with the addresses where they could be found once Twitter was dead. And yes, #RIPTwitter was the top trending topic.
Journalists in particular seem to have migrated to Mastodon, without deleting their Twitter accounts, obviously. Stephen L. Miller decided to have a peek over on Mastodon to see how things were going. Here’s Parker Molloy.

Can we get a “Libs of Mastodon” account going?

Quick, somebody call it!
Liberals are discovering for the first time what non-liberals discovered years ago – no alternative platform will ever develop the critical mass they are used to.

This editor saw them open for Ghost back in September and they rocked.
