@susannah Nah, it's not bad advice!

Part of the question to me is whether it's possible for Mastodon to even be capable of matching Twitter—for all its faults, Twitter is where the reporters are. Like, I can read what Paul Krugman thinks *right there*.

I think I have to stop treating Mastodon like it's gonna be my Twitter replacement and figure out what its role is for me. What am I getting here that I can't get somewhere else?
