I really try to hang out in more nuanced modes of rhetoric but: Don’t amplify psychological terrorism by repeating it in social media posts condemning it. Stop.
When you do this, no matter your intent, you are helping the worst people by repeatedly exposing the intended targets to the terrorizing messages.
Yes, hate campaigns need to be discussed. Not by amplifying the messages themselves across networks rich in their targets.
Hi! Twitter refugee here- any recommendation on building a good feed for legitimate real time news reporting?
@stoicbeast Just happened across this “starter set”:
Support publications and media outlets doing good work on American news. Here's a list some friends are sharing. What or who else should be included? Mastodon accounts preferred! ProPublica @[email protected] The Guardian @[email protected] or @[email protected] The Philadelphia Inquirer The Baltimore Banner Mother Jones @[email protected] your local paper your local NPR station Vanity Fair @[email protected] Rolling Stone @[email protected] Teen Vogue @[email protected] #news #media #newspapers #magazines #USpol
@stoicbeast Aha! This is the link I was thinking of:
On #Mastodon there are now 331 verified accounts from #news organizations in 21 languages and on 111 instances. 131 were active today. Some accounts, that were active today are @[email protected] (GER) @[email protected] (ENG) @[email protected] (CAT) @[email protected] (FRA) @[email protected] (ENG) Find the whole list on: ➡️ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ixsccIFQ4uD2HFlf92Ag7VS3rNOGwa97wFsSb3JxCwo/edit#gid=876665327 Built by @[email protected] #MastodonMigration #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Media #Press #Newspaper #TwitterMigration #Newstodon

You can find lots of news accounts if you scroll down to the news sections on this page:
https://fedi.directory/society/
Some of them post a lot of news, so you may want to create a mini-timeline just for news so that it doesn't overwhelm your main timeline. There's a feature that lets you do this in Mastodon called Lists, there's a guide on how ot use it here:
