@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.
who's killed the most journalists in history?

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 @ mastodon. social
And the naysayers & doomerism took precisely 9 minutes to weigh in.

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
@mike Huge news. I was shopping around for European-hosted instances, and this decision makes it far less urgent. Thank you!

@mike newsie has a huge number of western propaganda accounts passed off as 'news'.

@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?

@mike does anyone really thinks AI replaces them because it is better? lol, ai generates trash, but it's cheaper, that's all it needs to be

@heretical_i It's not my job to make a judgement like that. As long as they follow our rules whether you want follow them or not is up to you.

@zapladybug We have not moved that part yet. However if you'd like to donate to our efforts you can buy us coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/mikethecanadian

@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.

@mike @EveHasWords Our server had newsie.social limited ever since NewsMax set up an account there. The mods deleted the account after an outcry, but it was not handled well and did not leave us with confidence that future issues would be handled better.
In a fit of optimism I've unlimited newsie.social to welcome you, but some of your statements in the thread suggest you don't see reviewing publications as your job. If NewsMax or a similar disinfo source signed up today, would you reject them?

@skyfaller @EveHasWords We most likely would reject them. However I'd consider Newsmax an extreme example. I see ourselves as walking a line between welcoming diverging views and gatekeeping against harmful entities in the information space. We won't always get it right and not everyone is always going to agree with our decisions. Also I'd plead for some patience as we aclimate.
I'll throw a donation your way to help keep the lights on
