But as a journalist, it would be immoral and extremely selfish for me to stay quiet after taking care of my personal needs, and not express my serious concerns and worry for the future of journalism safety on Mastodon, and for the friends and colleagues who remain connected to both instances.
I feel very uneasy at how things are looking like for the press. This is the last thing I expected to see happen on a platform that marketed itself as a safe escape in the midst of the #TwitterMigration.
@ZekuZelalem I was happy to see your post from your new location -- my follow converted automatically.
Clicking on your old account, it comes up as both greyed-out, and announcing you've moved to your new location (as well as providing a button to pull up the new address).
I'm pretty darned impressed with that level of migration management built in.
