More on POSSE – Scott Hanson posted that he is writing posts on Micro.blog, which sends them to Mastodon and Bluesky, then uses IFTTT to read his RSS feed and post to Twitter. A good example of “getting started” doing POSSE (re: end of Tantek Celik post on this topic)!

ProPublica: Local Newspapers Are Vanishing. How Should We Remember Them? As smaller newspapers shrink or disappear, it’s easy to romanticize the role they played.
