An aside on #brazil #bolsanaro #lula Like many, I used to use Twitter to monitor fast developing political events. This was a bit of a test of #mastodon for me. There I was, quietly boosting bird pics, science, history, dogs and film reviews when my feed suddenly gives me the Brazil news. Thanks to people I follow. I then used relevant hashtags to boost key news myself. It all worked pretty well and fast and I didn’t feel a need to pop over to Twitter. Good. Cheers. #vivademocracy #vivalula
