As 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.
