@atomicpoet @fediversenews - speaking for myself, I don't want "news" in my Mastodon feed. I get that elsewhere.
Mastodon is a refuge for me from the madness of social media, the news feed, and the endless outrage cycle that drives media.
I blocked that journalism instance the very moment I first saw it.
I also have aggressive filters in place to screen out triggering material.
These big Twitter accounts are not happy with the degree of control that Mastodon users/admins have.
