When Twitter Died, So Did Independent Journalism | Dame Magazine

It’s heartbreaking what ten years and a Nazi-enabling takeover can do to one of the most important tech utilities of the modern era. I speak, of course, of Twitter. Ten years ago this summer, I built the bulk of my core Twitter following while live-blogging a landmark legislative session for abortion rights here in Texas.

    Not really, there’s still actual journalism happening with publications such as The Intercept and The Guardian.

    News orgs setting up shop with their own fediverse instances that they run and control (like the swiss govt just did with mastodon) seems like a natural situation.

      Definitely a good idea, but at least so far no part of the fediverse has a fraction of the reach of posting on twitter. Journalists can go elsewhere easily enough, the issue is getting the audience to follow.
