Thinking about setting up a Mastodon server focused on #journalism and #journalists. May have registered the domain “federated.press” … anyone interested in that? cc @Gargron
Moderation and security seem like the two biggest hurdles for something like this, assuming anyone would join.
Another thought… there are already local-area servers, i.e. for a city or regional area. Maybe that’s where local/independent journalists should register, rather than on a dedicated instance. The purpose of local journalism is to serve the local community, after all.
I suppose that's the case with any community, though.
