kieran charles@irwin i'm one of those people who've come over - i've tried to adopt a tread-lightly mentality, especially at first. but i do see a lot of people coming over and trying to recreate twitter, both in terms of mindset and in character of their posts. the minor brouhaha over one instance banning journa.host encapsulated that to me -- two mindsets about the digital town square (one of which, journalists, was the dominant one on twitter) crashing into one another.
Ed@grilledscheese_ @irwin can you say more about this? Which instance disconnected journahost? What’s the backstory here?
@peepstein @irwin i dont know the entire backstory but did read this thread on it: https://bananachips.club/@nev/109294468863000432
which kicked off, naturally, some discussion on what journalists should be doing on here, how it is and is not like twitter, etc.
