@LevineJonathan @CNN @washingtonpost @nytimes Add Linette Lopez @lopezlinette to the list.

Banned for recapping the times Elon had his enemies tracked.

It happened right while I was reading her latest tweets.

She did NOT post Elon's location, she just posted about the times HE looked for other peoples' locations.

@kairyssdal @CNN All of these news outlets need to set up their own instances so they have full control of their news distribution.

@andricheli @kairyssdal @CNN It’s inevitable. Each org will have its own instance. If I were running an org with a large Twitter dependency, I’d be building a mastodon server for my org as we speak. This will be what kills Twitter for good.

@__josh @jahfer @CNN @kairyssdal awesome. I’d assume the ability to control their content and what’s posted is very attractive to major outlets. Mastodon now has the engagement and that engagement will grow substantially if news outlets come over.

@__josh @andricheli @kairyssdal @CNN Washington Post doesn't even have to worry about paying for its own Mastodon server since it's owned by Jeff Bezos. They could call up AWS to build a server for them and AWS would be happy to do it for free.

@david1 @__josh @andricheli @kairyssdal @CNN hysterical and completely true. They already have a function to allow you to start off for free with the most basic instance, last time I was messing around out there.

@andricheli @kairyssdal @CNN

This hadn't occurred to me but it seems like a no-brainer. Would there be a downside?

@michaelboys @kairyssdal @CNN I would assume their biggest concern right now is just getting enough traffic. Twitter is clearly not what it was (most of the comments under news articles I’ve seen are just trolls now). As long as it results on eyes getting on their content, I don’t see the downside.
