If someone doesn’t want to be seen by journa.host, so what?

Not everyone wants to expose themselves to the glare of press. That’s their choice.

But again, only 1.7% of Mastodon has chosen that option.

An option, by the way, which isn’t available on Twitter.

Here’s the other thing. If someone vehemently disagrees with their server blocking journa.host, they can always migrate to another server—or start their own.

@atomicpoet "Another six servers allow their users to “report” problematic content from journa.host participants"

Well, newsflash, *all* servers allow that 🤣

@atomicpoet I very rarely see any journalists, I don’t have any blocked. I did follow/unfollow one tech journo I spotted using language in a triggering way. I don’t vibe with that, I want decent information on stuff, not an argument online.

That I don’t see them shows how poorly they’re adapting to this environment. Which to be fair, must be hard if you’re trained in Twitter. Clearly very few people are sharing there posts.

#RSS feeds are cool.

@atomicpoet Migration needs to be much better for that to be a reassuring statement.

@atomicpoet it's an example of egregious community blocking without people knowing deets

Sure, there is an attitude by some that journalists are evil and must be blocked. I've come across them.

But afaik the journa.host is there was one bad actor in like early December last year that snuck in. That user was banned and the instance overhauled their member criteria but it was too late to avoid getting listed on Fediblock
