Mastodon has taken the strategic decision not to accept venture capital investments for growth, but rather restructure to a European non-profit organization (blog.joinmastodon.org)

Who knew, taking away algorithm-fed drama and rage bait doesn't really excite the brain. But it can be a nice replacement for Twitter, when someone had withdrawal effects.

There is maybe a little bit of rage baiting on Lemmy ... but in today's political environment it may not be considered bait ... just news.

News are (rage) bait by design. They have to get you click the article, it is the only way they can make money.

I wouldn't really consider news as something unique to any platform. I was thinking user made content.

Yeah I just have it to follow some people, companies and projects that don't really have a good RSS feed.

All Mastodon feeds are RSS feeds. You just have to add ".rss" to the end of the URL.

They probably meant company's own RSS feed, so they have to use Mastodon.
