Thanks for the correction.
A few Washington Post reporters however do have a #Mastodon icon in their Washington Post profile. See for example: @drewharwell
#twittermigration #twitterpurge #thursdaynightmassacre #Mastodon
And the media companies that employ them largely act as if nothing happened...
#twitterpurge #thursdaynightmassacre #journalism
Yes. And we are very happy to have you and your counterparts.
#twittermigration #twitterpurge #thursdaynightmassacre
Your analysis is right on.
Twitter's loss is our gain. We are glad to have you. Hopefully #mastodon will be your home for the next twelve years or more.
All the best.

This is a no-brainier. Elon Musk/Twitter's request is a major infringement of your journalistic freedom.

More Journalists Banned by Twitter: How to Find Them on Mastodon
By @peterbutler
"Most of the major Twitter accounts that were suspended on Twitter have created accounts on the decentralized social media network Mastodon, with differing levels of participation."

I largely agree that the journalists and generally all newcomers should first read the room and avoid acting like they own the place...

I wonder if several other issues are also influencing the attitudes of journalists towards #Mastodon, from their perspective as users of the application:
1) They are latecomers and therefore have to start from scratch, and particularly build their followers base
2) The Mastodon more level playing field is less conducive to their stories standing out and going viral (memes)

#ThePilot
.
The pilot says we’re going to crash.
But nothing wrong with the plane.
So human error or suicide,
Either way the pilots to blame.
.
The entitled fool,
he broke our best toy!
A good source of news!
A good source of joy!
.
No Bandage is going
cover this hurt
Hopefully he
receives his just deserve
.
Now his car company is
Suffering too
A stock prices falling
With nothing to do
.
The latest is being
voting him out
Or building excitement by
showing view counts.

@taylorlorenz You state that you’ve been reinstated on #twitter as if it’s a good thing.
It’s not.
You, and all the other journalists, shouldn’t have been banned to begin with. At least not for the reasons given. You should have just shut down your account.
Your video should have led with “We’ll I’m reinstated. Who cares, b/c I deleted my account. Catch me on #Mastodon . Now let me tell you guys what was going on behind the scenes that triggered the #thursdaynightmassacre

@ggreeneva And no government entity should be legitimizing that platform either by publishing material there. #birdsite #thursdaynightmassacre
