Reaction from the Washington Post executive to the #TwitterBan of @taylorlorenz.
@w7voa @taylorlorenz how about journalists just leave Twitter instead?
@Xeynon @w7voa @taylorlorenz The real play would be to go quiet for a few days, then announce their own Mastodon server is online, with all their reporters on it.
@swampudlian @Xeynon @w7voa @taylorlorenz Good point. But, speaking as a journalist, that platform under its current management has finally dealt itself the death blow as a credible and reliable platform for serious media content. A shame, especially since we won't be able to quickly replace the vital function it had for marginalised groups or people living under authoritarian regimes, but it is what it is. It's Elmo's world now. We'll need to build another. And we will.
