     @mike @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Flipboard I looked at that link but not sure how it enables me to see and interact with local news/ govt news/ and local journalists.

     @kelownagurl @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Flipboard Maybe @mike@flipboard.social could send us a list of flipboard desk accounts? These accounts curate posts from across the fediverse under different categories, so following them gives you a curated feed of sorts. The one I sent you is the general flipboard account.

     @GhostOnTheHalfShell I keep tweeting to them and asking if they'll join. The BBC has finally joined M so maybe other news agencies will follow suit

     @GhostOnTheHalfShell @jumile I want CBC, Global, Castanet, and other local news, plus the local emergency services and wild fire got sites. Have only found accounts that are bots sharing twitter accounts.

     @kelownagurl Curious: what’s the appeal of social media with stuff like this? Isn’t it normally hot takes/drama from randos or notable people, or something you could read from a reliable news source?

     @jumile The main reason I stay on Twitter is because all the news and govt organizations are still there. If they would move to Mastodon, I'd leave for good.

     Not interested in hot takes or drama...
