It is remarkable -- remarkably depressing -- how slow news media organizations are on taking up Mastodon, especially after Musk's attacks on reporters this week. Get with it, people!

It would absolutely wonderful if news outlets hosted their own Mastodon instances. A few news orgs that have done that: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] And several others that have created official Mastodon accounts on general instances: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Not sure if this one is official: @[email protected] If anyone knows of any others, please let me know. #News #FollowFriday

@jeffjarvis I see lots of independent journalists talking about going to, or already having gone to, post.news. Good for them, I guess but, even beyond their painfully obvious albeit early-days scaling issues, it seems to me that moving to Post is going from one monolithic walled garden to another, where the garden is really a circus that charges admission, the circus animals are the users, the clowns are scary, and mostly what they want to do is sell you popcorn, cotton-candy, and lots of sugar
@jeffmarkel I agree. I was briefly an adviser to Post but backed away.
