The good news is that the NYTimes covers @journa.host. The bad news is that @josephbernstein gets it wrong: initial funding comes not from rich, old Columbia, but from my poor, dear Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY and the Tow-Knight Center that I direct there. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/21/style/mastodon-twitter-adam-davidson.html

@jeffjarvis “Users pick a server — such as journa.host — and can interact with other users throughout Mastodon, with exceptions. If this all sounds complicated, that’s because it is”

If that’s the benchmark for complicated, I’m worried about our survival as a species. You mean I have to open the box, pour it into a bowl, AND add milk? I can’t handle this breakfast techno-gibberish!

@masto @jeffjarvis it's not that that's what the benchmark for complicated is for the species as a whole, it's just that journalists are not accustomed to having to think about things in more depth than going to a single website.
