minus-squareweedazz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 years agoYeah I meant more in it’s own instance vs here. But what I’m saying is even if I do I won’t get the breaking news content I want because the journalists are not switching over
minus-squareTurtleJoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 years agoThere are some bots on Mastodon that mirror tweets from sports reporters that I’d followed on Twitter. It’s annoying that’s you can’t respond to things like mailbag questions, but I can still get breaking news, NFL training camp reports, etc.

minus-squareDa_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyilinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 years agoIf they do, it will be because we’ve reached an arbitrary critical mass. Think, mastodon has 2.1M active users now, twitter has 230M active users. Mastodon will be considered viable at roughly the same number of users that caused the media to think of twitter as “mainstream” I’m thinking at least 20M users, 10x what mastodon has now.
