Itâs been a weird couple days; I keep running into this talking point that âjournalists wonât use Mastodon unless we incentivize engagement farmingâ.
Meanwhile Iâm having a *great* experience here, because I use it toâ I dunnoâ actually talk to people and form relationships?
I reject the premise that mastodon isnât useful for reporters. I think itâs more accurate that modern news orgs use social media in purely extractive ways.
You might get more reporters that way, but you wonât like them.
