NPR is the only major journalism org to have shown a spine in dealing with Musk. So he's threatened to give the NPR username to someone else.

Yet even now -- despite Musk's growing contempt for and acts against journalism -- most media organizations and their employees STILL pour their work and some of their advertising money in to his rancid site.

What will it take for journalists to wake the hell up?

@kurtisj @dangillmor @dangoodin The problem is that nobody wants to be part of an alternative vanity project for brands and celebrities. If maturity makes mastodon as awful as Twitter, why have it?
