"Let’s imagine there was a social network called BigotFeed.
It caters toward and kowtows to Far-Right extremists & hate-filled podcasters. It is owned by a billionaire who is vocally hostile toward the entire concept of journalism and also certain minorities. ...the primary function of BigotFeed is to drive more people toward hatred, close-mindedness, and the reign of the Republican Party...
Is that enjoyable to journalists? What are you doing there?" #Twitter https://jogblog.substack.com/p/why-are-journalists-still-on-twitter?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=1053124&post_id=125525300&isFreemail=true&utm_campaign=2282&utm_medium=email
@GottaLaff They are still there because they are comfortable with their 10,000 followers and don’t want to rebuild. Also, they just want to be heard, they don’t want to listen, and really don’t want to interact with “commoners.”
@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff no one with 10,000 followers cares about what any of them says. See also: politicians.
@OGjester I have nearly 60,000 followers over there and I care. @AlliFlowers
@GottaLaff @OGjester @AlliFlowers then why are you still there and still active? Seems to be the case with every person on here who asks why others are still there.
@billyok @GottaLaff @OGjester To reach the media. Only reason I’ve been in in the last 6 months.
