MODERATORS
I can hear the internal justifications of the “journalists” still using the platform.
A major Danish news site recently said they'd delete their accounts on Twitter :)
Although no plans for making a Mastodon account instead :(
What platform are journalists supposed to be using when almost all of them seem to be biased?
Any platform that doesn’t openly advertise (and have an owner who openly donates to the campaign of) one particular candidate. I would not expect to find any self respecting journalist to have an account on Truth Social for instance. Being on either platform directly contributes to the election campaign of Donald Trump.
Idk I think there are probably a lot of journalists who qt least go truth social, to study and report on what the most right wing groups are doing.
Which platform would that be? I am not trying to be difficult, but I think probably all platforms are heavily biased.
X/Twitter
Then why dont you like it?
