Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian Good. People and organizations of good will should at least archive and go inactive, if not outright leave. News orgs have reason to stay and at least park their accounts, so they’re not hijacked by the RWPM (Right Wing Propaganda Machine). No new content, turn off Grok, archive posts, and create new content elsewhere. Support your local Mastodon instance, or create your own.

The part about outrage was when one lone protestor flipped the bird and yelled “F- Trump!” at the MAGA devotees waiting to enter the place of worship.

There are nice, thoughtful, diverse people who live in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district. A brown-skinned immigrant with a foreign accent talked to them about everything except politics and was rewarded with interesting conversations. He was initially apprehensive, but found only friendly locals. It sounds like someone needs to give them an alternative to MTG in two years.
