      sure, but what is 404 Media supposed to do about that? If they stopped sharing their stories on these services, they would have no way to reach new audiences, and so they would slowly start dying off. You could argue that a larger publication like NYT could certainly take a stand like this, but traditional media isn’t exactly in a strong position right now. Decentralized platforms are useless to these publications if nobody is using them.

          They do that, too. They’re on Mastodon as well. They’re just doing POSSE. These social media platforms are basically just where they advertise their articles and sometimes get tips for new stories from readers. That’s outside of how they use them for investigating stories about those platforms.
