At the risk of blowing up my week, I have started a new server for #journodons, #press members, and others who believe in the ethics of journalism. https://federated.press/There are a few of these now, each with a slightly different take on the concept. I think there's room for many more—so don't all sign up here at once. 😅 Feel free to request an invite if this resonates, though, and we'll see how it goes.#journalism #journalists #mastodon #news #media #photojournalism #twittermigration

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Since today is election day in the US, here are some recent observations regarding a few local GOP candidates in Washington state. Namely, Joe Kent and Rey Reynolds. This is a relatively long and winding thread—consider this your content warning. 🧵#gop, #republicans, #elections, #politics, #extremism, #lawenforcement, #conspiracism, #washington, #oregon, #wa03, #electionday

I am still looking for an artist to commission a new Mastodon server image. I want something close to the default artwork, but the mastodons should be dressed like reporters and photojournalists. 😃

Keep in mind that just because you signed up for a #Mastodon server that has a Code of #Ethics or rules around #misinformation, that doesn't mean everything you read there is true. Moderators do their best, but combating misinformation is ultimately up to *you*.Check out the SIFT method by @mikecaulfieldhttps://hapgood.us/2019/06/19/sift-the-four-moves/

Is there a US attorney who would be willing to donate some time to draft a volunteer moderator agreement for a Mastodon instance?Also, are any other instance admins willing to share your agreement if you have one? I don’t know if this is standard practice, but seems like a good idea when granting access to user data. I found something similar from Stack Overflow for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/legal/moderator-agreement#MastoAdmin #Legal #Lawyers #Law

Hey everyone, I have an exciting federated.press announcement to share:We just released an integration with News Detective—a new project to reduce misinformation on social media and teach media literacy with built-in transparency. They're part of MIT's Sandbox Innovation Fund Program, and are working with journalism students and the public to promote media literacy. Read on to learn more. 👀👇#Journalism #Misinformation #MediaLiteracy #Mastodon #FederatedPress #NewsDetective

You can use our integration to request a fact-check for any post on Mastodon—and even become a fact-checker yourself.Here's how it works:When you see a post you want to fact-check, tap/click on the "..." menu (where the "report" button is) and then "Fact check this post." Then, after registering with News Detective, follow the instructions to submit the post to their team of fact-checkers.

This feature is exclusively available through federated.press (you won't see the fact-check option on other servers), and only in the web interface (not mobile apps). You are welcome to create an account here if you want to try it out.For more information about News Detective and to learn how to volunteer as a fact checker, visit https://newsdetective.org/about, and follow/message @newsdetective.

It's hard to believe that #FederatedPress is a year old. Read a recap of our first year (and don't forget to donate 😄):https://opencollective.com/federatedpress/updates/2023-annual-update-federated-press-is-one-year-old#Mastodon #OpenCollective #Journalism
