I am limping along on the last gasp of nitter until threads is big enough I can get breaking news from there. Hopefully we reach the tipping point before nitter gives out forever.

It's very common to see news organically shared on Fedi as well. I get a ton of Boston local news shared via users I follow on the Boston instances.

Is Facebook really better than Twitter? Why not just mastodon?

I don't think Mastadon will ever take off without a major change in the tech, because content is way too hard to find due to the lack of centralization. I am signed up but basically never use it for this reason.
