Masta is still going, I know quite a bunch of people who are still there and a bunch are still there because of the api change.

Same with Co-host as well, but that's more of a "I need a lighter lj-type thing where I'm not being followed by the world" sort of deal rather than a twitter equivalent.

did journalists flock to mastodon or is that dead

I think the inherently fragmented nature of it means it just doesn't do the same things - as a tweet I saw noted, you see a lot of people telling you that Mastodon is great in general terms but there are never specific examples and precisely none of those people ever crosspost noteworthy content (good or bad)

Mastodon is dead. Substack has a better chance. A lot of twitter journos also have substack newsletters. I can see fintwit making the jump and if it does twitter is done.
Mastodon is a lot more active than it used to be before Twitter became Elon's shitter, it's just not the kind of super centralized place you will be able to insult a New York Times editorialist.

It's what people wanted in a way, but it doesn't have the sheer giant audience of around a decade and half twitter had. It won't Kill twitter, but its good if you want something less intense. It's like saying that a state tv channel broadcasting farm news and docs is a failure because it doesn't have the same intensity of Imjarons's TikTok channel.

I missed that twitter actually went after ppl criticizing her beyond just taking credit for some magic wand disappearing of sex traffickers off the platform. I wonder how many ppl have elong's ear at a given moment and using that to squash their own negative narratives.

There was a week or so where Musk was forcing everyone on For You even on desktop and people would be getting catturd and Matt Walsh right at the top.

Which lead to nearly everyone muting or blocking that, which I guess the small interaction of going to their profile to do that is enough to poke a bit to it, but it sorta fades away as time goes. On both accounts.

Nah it's a standalone building, but it's walking distance to Wendy's, Popeye's and a Cook Out so that's a bonus for all the rubes

Oh yeah, for a bit it would flip you to the you tab if you clicked the following button twice. There was that time it froze, but if you used the 2g complaint mobile site it would still work as well.
