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
Idea: this could be similar to a professional association like NPPA or ASMP, open to anyone who agrees to the Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics. I'm an NPPA member, and their Code of Ethics is one of the reasons I joined. All members must agree to it. https://nppa.org/code-ethics
I suppose that's the case with any community, though.
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.
