Josh BraunAs a growing number of instances block journa.host, I'd encourage people to steer clear of the narrative that Mastodon's culture is somehow anti-journalism. If you're looking for a natural experiment, take newsie.social — I could be wrong, but as far as I know there's been no widespread blocking of that instance, which also predominantly hosts reporters. This is about the moderation decisions made by a particular instance, not some broader antipathy for journalism.
Chanders@josh not sure I *entirely* agree with this. I wrote about it a little earlier, and while I don't think the Fedeverse is necessarily "anti-journalism," I do think there is an element of journo-skepticism that might surprise some. I think the bigger issue is that Twitter enabled a very "us v them" narrative amongst journalists, who could largely blame distrust in them on MAGA Republicans.
So it is not anti, by any means, but I don't think there's a huge reservoir of goodwill.
