@ryangoodlett @drewharwell I agree, why wouldn't wapo just start their own instance and build a following that can't be pulled out from under them?

@ryangoodlett @drewharwell The WaPo already has its “Mastodon.” It’s called it’s newspaper. Same with NYT or CNN. The benefit of Twitter was all the cross-pollination between journalists and experts.

@ryangoodlett @drewharwell They could still go after you via your hosting service or bandwidth provider. But, yeah, more difficult.
