My question too. Is WaPo going to create its own server?

Seems like it would be a good idea to control your own social media platform.

You need to tell them that if they disallow follows then they won't have any reach. You got to have followers to be seen on Mastodon.

OK, this is my bad. journa.host was muted here. I've since removed that.

I get that, but I already have a subscription to the NYT. I cannot subscribe to everywhere, and the reality is that if other journalists want their articles to be seen and appreciated, they have to make them free from time to time.
Show threadWill OremusDec 21, 2022
@corbin_lambeth that's great you're an NYT subscriber. agree it's a lot to ask people to subscribe to more than one news outlet. but just out of curiosity -- would you have paid for an NYT subscription if they didn't have a paywall?
Show threadC. LambethDec 21, 2022

@willoremus it's unclear as to whether or not I would have paid. The past answer has been sometimes yes and sometimes no, pending what deals they are offering. Would I pay standard asking price? No.

What finally got me to sign up is a one-year program for a dollar a week. What's WaPo's best deal?

@[email protected]@reneeygraham of Boston Globe is here as well. While I still occupy the lobby of this Resettlement Office, pondering how we don't allow the "popular kids" table in the cafeteria. The problem has long been in the media that celebrity journalists are not interacting with a diversity of independent journalists and scholars to seek a deeper understanding of what they see, their sources, and their understanding of events. Just a thought. Example to follow.
