If what attracts them to #WSocial is their 24k users, well, #Eurosky has the same but much much livelier activity.
So when is @tagesschau@ard.social planning to cover Eurosky? Or - dare I say - the FEDIVERSE with its millions of accounts?
@_elena@mastodon.social @tagesschau@ard.social Hi! I was (meant to be) the critical voice in that piece, but most of my criticism didn't make it into the report. I do think that the reporter who wrote the piece actually got the issues with WSocial. I also pointed them to your reporting on that matter.
I did my best to sneak Eurosky and the Fediverse into the interview, but apparently I need better media training …
