Mastadon has a lot going for it but I haven't figured out if it's possible to follow news here the way it is on Twitter. Maybe that's the platform, maybe it's that there isn't a critical mass of people over here, maybe that's just my lack of imagination. Whatever it is, it's pretty important to how I used Twitter. This probably isn't important to most people but, hey, if people are or aren't finding good ways to track news I'd be interested to hear experiences/thoughts.
