The Guardian says its quitting X due to its 'toxic' nature
UK daily The Guardian says it will stop posting from its "official editorial accounts" on X but users can still "share" articles from the daily newspaper on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Summary
The Guardian announced it will stop posting from its main editorial accounts on X, citing the platform’s “toxic” environment and Elon Musk’s influence in shaping political discourse, particularly around the recent U.S. election.
The British newspaper expressed concerns over increasing far-right content and disinformation on X, which it says Musk has enabled.
Although articles can still be shared by users, The Guardian intends to focus on promoting its journalism through other platforms, noting that X now plays a “diminished role” in its outreach efforts.
BTW, the author of this article still advertises its Twitter account 🙃
Inb4 The Guardian will have a presence on Bluesky but not the Fediverse 🙃
The Guardian is welcome on Lemmy anytime.
And my Mastodon!
Does Mastadon have customizable/sharable feeds?
I'm not sure what you mean. There is a list feature much like the one that existed on Twitter, but since I don't use it, I don't know if you can share lists.
Edit: I tried the List feature and it does not work like on Twitter (at least the way I remember it): it only can only contain users you already follow and is private. It acts more like a feed with only a subset of your follows.
Same
Just came to that conclusion now?
Better late than never. Great move.
Barn door, horse, etc.
Mastodon, get shiny. This foss clunkiness is hamstringing you.
