Mastodon absolutely needs more journalists. We should not have millions of people boosting one another’s ideas without a solid contingent of people in here professionally trained to vet stories, check facts, and use best practices for sharing news. It is, imo, an urgent issue & critical for the ongoing success of the fediverse #Press
I have zero patience for “no change” traditionalists in this space. the one thing standing between us and a whole lotta hurt is people practicing fact checking, professional thoughtfulness, and journalistic rigor at scale and everywhere.
yes we need to be able to text search public posts, quote toot, and increase ease for users. sorry there is no room for viewing fedi as your private hobby, the world needs fedi to work well for journalists and organizers
@seachanger I may have missed who this is directed at but I’ll take a stab. How do “no change” traditionalists if Republican, reconcile bad boy Donny Trump diving towards the rocks with nooses dragging them over the edge? 🤔
