One list includes 50 potential Twitter replacements — none of which will offer every one of Twitter’s features and none of which includes everyone you’re currently following on the bird site. How do you decide where to go when you conclude that maintaining your current Twitter activity is no longer feasible? Neville and Shel sort it out — with a focus on Mastodon — in this short mid-week episode of “For Immediate Release.”
The next monthly, long-form episode of FIR will drop on Monday, December 26.
We host a Communicators Zoom Chat each Thursday at 1 p.m. ET. For credentials needed to participate, contact Shel or Neville directly, request the credentials in our Facebook group, or email [email protected].
Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
