Mastodon absolutely needs more journalists. We should not have millions of people boosting one another’s ideas without a solid contingent of people in here professionally trained to vet stories, check facts, and use best practices for sharing news. It is, imo, an urgent issue & critical for the ongoing success of the fediverse #Press

@seachanger

When it becomes possible to type in like, 'Kherson' or 'tornado', and search to see what others are posting about it, in real time and in chronological order

(and, conversely, post about emergencies ourselves)

journalists will 100% flock here.

Including global search as a default is too much of a security risk for marginalized groups, so it has to be opt-in. But journalists need this.
