While we're waiting, another Presidential child tweet thread:

Ivanka Trump was the lead executive overseeing the Trump Tower Baku.

It was a deal she worked on with the Mammadov family who were well known to be money launderers for Iran's revolutionary guard. Ivanka visited Baku. She also insisted that an entire working class neighborhood be razed to make way for a park attached to the Trump property.

I had a fascinating couple weeks of social media in which I concluded that twitter really does actually suck.

What happened:

- I started a Mastodon server for journalists.
- Very quickly, a group of amazing folks volunteered to run it.
- Folks on twitter lied about us. - Some people on Mastodon also got really mad at us.

The difference:

- On Twitter, the lies spread quickly. When we corrected the lies, we were blocked, mocked--even Elon got in on the game.
- Events that were complex and nuanced were boiled down to simple false narratives.
