My main (fuzzy) indicator for mastodon growth (and by implication the exodus on other platforms) are the usercounts of some quality, high reach #news organisations.

One of those that I follow is @tagesschau (german language)
They are adding over a hundred daily users atm, cruising towards 60.000 followers now.

A good sign. A month ago they were only adding some 10 a day.

An #Illinois school for students with #disabilities has routinely used the police to handle discipline, resulting in the highest arrest rate of any district in the country. In one recent year, half of Garrison School students were arrested.

Could we start a hashtag specifically to help journalists settle in and getting known and followed on Mastodon?

Is there already one?
I imagine there might be more creating accounts tomorrow maybe.

Perhaps something like:
#NewsOnMastodon
#JournalistsOfMastodon

What do you think #journalists and #Mastodon and everyone?
