It Always Starts on Mastodon

• Chris on Mastodon broke the news that Meta censors #Democrat, but not #Republican.

• Hacker News starts the discussion a few hours later.

• Finally, news outlets are covering it.

• Andreas on Mastodon announces a security backdoor in xz.

• Hacker News covers it.

• ...then the news outlets.

I'd bet my SSL certs that this will be a strong trend within the year.
