wet forest moon folkloristMastodon 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
Paula MacKinnon🌈@seachanger I feel like the chaff is in the air as everyone tries out mastodon, post, bluesky, spoutable, spill and jesus-be-a-restraining-order threads. The lawyers and journalists are necessary to have in numbers on this kind of social, but please let's not consolidate on another tech narcissist because that's where they first leapt. Also, the fevered need for the Twitter bluechecks to rebuild their followers on a new thing is making them sweaty.
