I mean, they’re addicted.

That’s like asking a meth head to please stop smoking meth.

@dangillmor are some big media companies insisting journalists maintain a presence there?

@dangillmor
maybe it is monopoly paradox. when market share is big enough, then monopoly can charge overprices.

in case of x.com, it is not money. it is dragging into evil business model.

at least some guys have multi approach. they on multiple services simultaneously, like mastodon, x.com and others.

I have seen Mastodon accounts that are mirrors of Xhitter accounts. If there was an automated M to X process the journalists could make the move without totally losing their audience. It would help if the major media outlets started their own instances.
