Journalists who would never, ever consider working for Fox "News" continue to give their work -- free -- to Twitter.
They surely know that they're supporting a business controlled -- and manipulated in ugly ways -- by someone at least as malign as Rupert Murdoch. They're giving aid and comfort to someone who hates journalism and amplifies anti-democracy memes.
They could, instead, use the fediverse and control their own destinies.
How can they be helped to grasp this?
@dangillmor I think people underappreciate the role bureaucracy and management plays in legitimate news organizations.
This isn't a matter of a paper one day realizing #Fediverse is a place to be, setting up an instance, and letting it rip.
Instead, there are so many layers of review involved in such a process, from technical review through marketing, through figuring out how to fit it into workflows, budgeting, and even over through legal review.
If you want them to be present here, think about the actual practical issues they will be facing through the process of joining a new, decentralized platform like this one.
