@elipariser you ran into the self-appointed fediverse police? Imho one of the beauties of the Fediverse is that it allows peaceful coexistence, of people and orgs and servers and apps of very different belief systems. We should have more diversity in the fediverse, not less!
So I’d like to encourage you to revisit this. If the BBC can be in the fediverse, so can and should NewPublic!
@J12t agree with you-we are just trying to be respectful of the norms here as we were getting acquainted.
