ianhillmediaWelcome to the #journalists who are new to #Mastodon through the #twittermigration! Some #tips:
• Add a photo and bio, then write an introductory post with the #introduction hashtag.
• Use an app like Debirdify to find your Twitter followers and follows on Mastodon.
• Check out this Google sheet for other journalists to follow: http://bit.ly/3hOsHBD
• Know this isn’t Twitter. Don’t just push out links. Mastodon is a great place to chat and network with other journos!

Spot on. Mastodon is social media for humans, not businesses.

Roxanne Darling 🌿@ianhillmedia Debirdify service is not working:
"Whoa there!
The request token for this page is invalid. It may have already been used, or expired because it is too old. Please go back to the site or application that sent you here and try again; it was probably just a mistake." I've seen people on TW mentioing this, thinking TW disabled the connection?

@roxannedarling Hello! There are some other options out there if Debirdify isn’t working right now; Fedifinder and Twitodon are two other examples.
@ianhillmedia Thank you very much!

@mojo Two-factor, definitely. But recognize that many journos do not have the ability to verify through a news org website. Vanity sites, sure. But not news org websites.
@ianhillmedia Did you read the post? I show pressCheck as well.
@mojo I did :)
