Reading the replies to this post about saving the servers used by many journalists just proves my point re moderation on the fedi. There were complaints that some of these journalists pushed mainstream propaganda, and other complaints that some journalists there were transphobic. Of course. What's good journalism to some will be considered misinformation or hate speech to others. The norm needs to be only block servers for unwanted tagging or we'll never grow.

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
