The Press should be the biggest cheerleaders of the Fediverse because the Press, itself, works best in a decentralized environment.

Journalism works best when everyone is accountable to each other.

How is there accountability when one corporation decides what gets to be seen?

@atomicpoet and because getting away from the pay-to-play presentation system from a lot of social media platforms.

@atomicpoet I was just thinking about this-amazing what dishwashing does for idea generation-I except in short order news orgs will set up their own instances for their journalists & headlines. It will be back to where the official word comes from the official site. Which is a good thing for news I think. No relying on another platform for your reach.

@trishussey Thank you! I've been suggesting this for years, and the notion has fallen on deaf ears.

Truth is, Big Social have screwed over journalism by monopolizing the distribution of news.

How to take it back?

By running your own instances, and verifying on your domains. In this way, you take back not just distribution of news, but also ownership of your work!

This is critical for the future of journalism.

@trishussey @atomicpoet

100% agreed. Especially since it’s dirt cheap to put up an instance.

@atomicpoet This is very unfair. There's a whole variety, like I think at least 3 or 4 billionaire white male oligarchs!
