Big-name journalists we all love to hate, as well as many you’ve never heard of, loved their gatekeeping role on Twitter. They decided what you were permitted to know, and Twitter played along, happy to enforce the Mean Girls’ rules on their behalf. But freedom of speech has returned to Twitter under Elon Musk, and journos are desperate for a new digital meeting place where they’re the Mean Girls clique once more.
So they turned to Mastodon, a totally Woke (and decentralized) social media platform of individual servers, where NPR’s Adam Davidson set up the journa.host server for like-minded media wokesters. According to NYT, there are something like 2,000 members who have to prove who they are in order to join. A safe space to call people Nazis. But not all is well in liberal paradise:
“Journalists signing up on mastodon at the jou. rna[.]host server should know that through no deliberate fault, the server has quickly gained a reputation for transphobia and has been widely banned/blocked.” – Vox.
So journa.host is getting blocked by other Mastodon servers, effectively trapping our would-be gatekeepers behind a gate of their own doing. [enter laugh track here]. MORE
Popcorn futures through the roof!
Is Journo.host the new Journo-list?
It’s infinitely more satisfying when they screw themselves!
Very predictable. In fact a few of us predicted it. Libtards aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy. And they’re really not happy unless there’s someone they can admonish. What Conservative would join Mastodon? None? So now there stuck in their own sound chamber. Whom do the admonish? Well each other of course.
