I wish more of the #journalists and #news organizations that I want to follow were active on #Mastodon or other #ActivityPub federated platform.
Instead, they’re chasing engagement on #Twitter, #Threads, and now #Bluesky. Many have abandoned accounts here with thousands of followers, while others just broadcast links now and then. I get it, but…
Of course there are a ton of exceptions, and other voices worthy of following, but discovering them is a part-time job.
