Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
Vote Count Binface and I will tie government ministers' pay to that of nurses for the next 100 years.

This morning: A cyclical online chat with my bank and then on the phone, passed from pillar to post...
Computer/banking issue that should take 10mins to resolve?
"In 2022 that equates to just over 4 hours, sir. Largely because of the complicated, dysfunctional & endlessly looping, cul-de-sac procedures that we've put in place to expedite the process & save you time"
What happened to the utopian future we were promised???
Weird fluffy advent, day 15
We still have no #snow, just frost and ice, so I am living vicariously through my fluffsters.

Blueberry pays no bills. Lives rent free. Has no job. Gets food delivered directly to her mouth everyday. Sleeps in. Snores without caring how loud she is. Destroys nearly every gift ever given to her. Drools on literally everything just because she can. And she. Literally. Just. Sighed.

Angela Eagle at #pmqs "This year the Tory party has given us five education secretaries, four chancellors, three prime ministers, two leadership coups and........... the partridge has sold the pear tree to pay for the gas bill"
@doot @ben true story: I had a friend who a decade ago worked at Sears. She was trying to sell Sodastreams to customers that walked by. One woman asks her if it has ti be water. "No. Honestly, you could probably carbonate your own pee if you wanted to." The customer stopped, then picked up a Sodastream from the pile.
"My husband is going to learn a valuable lesson about taking my sodas."
