If #Mastodon stabilises in the broader world, I'm wondering how we might verify news sources. Would each media org set up an instance for their reporters maybe, so we can tell them apart from imposters? I can't imagine an independently moderated "news" instance without the verification process being open to bias or misuse.
@carly_io I like the way your mind works on this topic. I'm unclear what journalists would do here exactly. It feels like though, when networks becomes sources of news, that's a signal that their "social" element has died...
