If you're reading this, my cobbled together code is working. "Put it there!" gives me a UI to create posts on weblog.lol with optional Mastodon cross-posting.
It's a mess and just for me right now, but I will put it on source.tube at some point. I just needed an image to test with and decided to create a logo, then a full announcement poster/image thing.

⚠️ Meta on the news again for another Dieselgate scandal, Zuck will never learn.
｢ Reuters reported in November that scam ads Meta considers “high risk” generate as much as $7 billion in revenue for the company each year. This month, the news agency found that Meta tolerates rampant fraud from advertisers in China ｣
Meta made scam ads harder to find instead of removing them

Competing against #Pixelfed was not enough as @threads now seeks to dominate the podcast arena.
👉🏾 #Threads Launches New Feature to Attract Podcast Fans https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/threads-launches-new-feature-to-attract-podcast-fans/501240
This is a good sign for podcasting #Fediverse apps like @Castopod, #WordPress (as well as @wordpressdotcom), @ghost, #MicroDotBlog, @peertube, etcetera, as it means more people are interested in listening to & creating podcasts.
I think professional podcasters will opt to use their own sites instead of relying on #Meta.
