News continues to flow at breakneck speed and independent newsrooms continue to reveal and analyze what’s happening around the world. Highlights for us this week were @ProPublica's exposé on DOGE’s potential impact on social security, @KnowableMag's explainer on pregnancy at altitude, and a lovely interview by @thecontinent of the beloved Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed. Please check out these stories and all the others in this thread, comment, like, follow their accounts and give them your money. 
#Mastodon is taking off! But Internet history provides numerous examples of other promising platforms for the digital public sphere that have died untimely deaths (remember Second Life?).
@rwg and @aram, who have reviewed the history and looked at the challenges, and still bullish on the #Fediverse.
Do you think Mastodon will have staying power? https://theconversation.com/the-fediverse-promises-social-media-without-big-tech-if-it-can-avoid-familiar-pitfalls-247178

Another busy week (maybe one day there’ll be a quiet one) in which independent publications have been doing sterling work on politics, science, tech, the environment and more. Please check out these stories from newsrooms with a fediverse presence, which cover subjects from antifascism to EVs in Zimbabwe. Oh, and Canadians, there’s a special treat for you at the end.

BTW The goal is still, to reach the traffic we had in 2023 
What happened to February? The shortest month seemed shorter than ever this year — even though January feels very long ago. This #NewstodonFriday, to counter the doom and the gloom, we’re watching Jane Fonda’s SAG Awards acceptance speech on repeat (it’s the last item in this thread). Please do read and boost the whole thread of stories from newsrooms with a presence in the fediverse. It makes a difference to our brave independent media friends.

Every time we come to compile this #NewstodonFriday thread, we’re amazed at what indie newsrooms are able to accomplish — but particularly this week, when we were gobsmacked by two pieces of painstaking reporting, both relating to Texas: @ProPublica wrote about how the state’s abortion ban has made pregnancy more dangerous, and @TexasObserver identified an ICE prosecutor as the operator of a racist social media account. Please click on, read and boost all the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media.
It’s Valentine’s Day, and we love the fediverse — especially all the indie newsrooms that we feature in our #NewstodonFriday thread. If there are any you’d like to put on our radar, please tell us in the comments — and don’t forget to read and boost the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media.
It’s #NewstodonFriday again, where we share a thread of stories from the independent newsrooms that have a presence in the fediverse, plus a couple of articles that our own editorial desks shared. This week we discovered yet another brilliant publication is here: @msfreepress. If there are any newsrooms or journos you’d like to put on our radar, please tell us in the comments — and don’t forget to read and boost the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media doing incredible, brave, important work.
@Raccoon@techhub.socialReminder to follow #Mastodon on #Twitter, and #Retweet their posts! Not only does this grow the #Fediverse and weaken Twitter's monopoly by driving the #MastodonMigration, it also boosts them in the algorithm, and it pisses off Elon. :3

There are about 36 days left for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to shut down the @CanadianPM X/Twitter account. Mr Trudeau, stop clapping and waiving at the fascist in the gallery. #canpoli #leavex https://mastodon.online/@ZebKing/113913380438987656
