At least some journalists were sent back to Twitter by those in the community with a narrow vision of what Mastodon can and should be.
Mastodon has not been entirely welcoming to Journalists.

 @ianbetteridge @stpaultim @Hey_Beth @DarkWraithLord There's lots of journalists on the Fediverse, but not all of them are cut out for it. In fact, there are dedicated journalist instances (ex: journa.host). However, some journalists don't exactly engage with the community in good faith -- and people know.  @atomicpoet @stpaultim @Hey_Beth @DarkWraithLord I think a lot of it comes down to whether you are prepared to listen or not. If you listen – even if you end up disagreeing – I think it works. Mind you, that's true of life in general too :) |
@stpaultim @Hey_Beth @atomicpoet @DarkWraithLord I'm not entirely sure that's true. I've found Mastodon very welcoming, generally (I've blocked a few asshats). But you have to engage with people, and not just switch into broadcast mode all the time.
