Is there any concern from #journalists about what happens if they get laid off and kicked off of there employers instance?
I guess there’s nothing keeping reporters from having their own accounts as individuals as well
@AccordionBruce @mastodonmigration @TucsonSentinel @restofworld @RollingStone @ProPublica @sfgate we've agreed that reporters can move their following elsewhere with them, if that helps
@TexasObserver @AccordionBruce @mastodonmigration @restofworld @RollingStone @ProPublica @sfgate Unlike legacy chain media, we're a growing independent nonprofit. We've never laid anyone off. If someone were to leave, they'd be able to take their followers to a new account.
@TucsonSentinel @TexasObserver @mastodonmigration @restofworld @RollingStone @ProPublica @sfgate That’s true, followers can follow the account. Good feature 😎
