1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of https://journa.host and https://newsie.social. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse's journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalists
lol
which journalists do you mean? the ones challenging the US or European governments on gaza and Iran?
the ones who know about epstein and kept quiet?
the ones who fail to mention aipac?
no - mainstream journalists have done nothing worth preserving
independent media however are doing well and are far more trustworthy - and they don't have big bosses threatening the use of AI to replace them

@charlesdelavalleepoussin Jotnalists of every stripe are represented. However its not my job to choose which ones are "acceptable" to you. My job is to provide a safe harbour to anyone attempting to practice the craft whatever their motivation.

@mike Journa.Host has been blocked by many well-moderated instances on the Fediverse for transphobia, association with infamous doxxers, and other persistent moderation issues. Can we expect that under this new management, the instance will be moderated according to the rules set forth in the mastodon covenant?

@EveHasWords We follow the Mastodon Covenent however we will retain the right to make our own judgements on rule violations. Rule interpretation is subjective so of course you'll need to still make your own decisions on whom to block and not block. However please report anything you find offensive and we'll do our best to make a fair judgement. Also while in transition it might take us a while.
