This looks like it might turn into the first big drama of this #TwitterMigration

http://scholar.social (academic server) is defederating from http://journa.host (journalist server) because of the history of some of the journalists on the latter.

If others follow suit, there might be a lot of confused journalists out there soon.

As someone who lived through the "eternal september" when AOL opened the doors to usenet, I'm seeing some of the same dynamics play out here of the folks who were here getting angry at all the new entrants, mainly for breaking norms or criticizing decisions that felt settled.

My one recommendation: recognize that new people also have things to add and different perspectives can be useful.

Norms change. It's good to explain why decisions were made, but not to scold.

So, uh, Trump trying to figure out how he can jail journalists if he returns to the Presidency seems like it should, you know, be a big deal that should worry people quite a lot.

I am unbelievably proud of my friend, Maxwell Frost, who just made history as the first Gen Z-er elected to Congress! He’s just 25 years old! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hey #journalists , I just made up a hashtag for when you're looking for a source on here: #sourcesiren .

I've never come across a hashtag for this purpose before, but if it catches on, it could be a way to tap into the very wide array of expertise #onhere .

So give it a shot when you're looking for sources: #sourcesiren

We can do it.
