I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.
@dangillmor 100% this. But it's already clear that this is not the message they are getting. Other than the people that Musk banned **very few** journalists have so much as created Mastodon accounts in the last couple of days. And as for news orgs they are not doing anything except enforcing further self censorship re Musk. #mastodonmigration
