       @jeff @matthewkeys Someone creates a server designed for journalists with some sort of vetting process. Then other servers block that server for doing the things that journalists do: Looking for stories, building audiences, and occasionally publishing information and points of view that others disagree with. This kind of mentality will make it harder for Mastodon to compete as a space for public discourse.We can't have the benefits of the Fourth Estate without a little sunshine.

       @DanBC @jeff @matthewkeys I don't know what to tell you except that it's genuinely frustrating to see others assume that people with new accounts know nothing about how online communities work. I guess I missed the sign stating there was a probationary period during which users' ideas are automatically considered invalid.

       @DanBC @jeff @matthewkeys You mean I didn’t illustrate any awareness of prior discussions in the four sentences I typed about the topic at hand while waiting for a meeting to start? I suppose I concede the point. You say I’m pointing to trivialities and ignoring the big stuff. I disagree, and the reason is that I believe whatever happened on Mastodon prior to Musk destroying Twitter matters less than what happens now. 1/
