Sigh, the NY Times puts 3 reporters on the news that Big Social is no longer (as if it ever way) journalism's daddy -- with editors whimpering at the unfairness of it all.

It would be fairly easy for news orgs to set up Mastodon servers and verify their own journalists' accounts.

But feeling aggrieved is more satisfying.
