In this guest post, Alexander Plaum, Innovation Manager at Deutsche Welle (DW), writes about his team's exceptionally positive experience with microblogging in the Fediverse. He also explains why all public broadcasting professionals should try out Mastodon.
I wrote to about a dozen journalists on Linked who loved to complain about Elon Musk on Twitter. A short paragraph saying about how Mastodon is growing and that the best way to combat Musk power would be by stripping his platform of reputable people.
Same. I wrote to youtube channels complaining about youtube, orgs saying they reducing their twitter activity, politicians talking about “data sovereignty”, and a few more. Most responses were either non-committal or non-existent.
Complaining about the platform you’re on is a good way to drive a lot of engagement from all the other people on the platform who also hate being there!

Zero responses.

I think people just love to complain.
