I don't know man, chat apps and systems like Twitter and Mastodon aren't a good place for journalism. I had to stop using both, its just full of chats and any kind of messages from all over the place, including advertisements and links and what not. Not a good place to discuss anything. To me these are just advertisement platforms.

Super agree with that. Framing this feature as specific to journalism was a poor choice. The feature is useful for any writer/blogger/joe schmoe on the web

It sounds like the linking is automated, just website approval is manual:

In the future we would like to make the feature available to all without a manual review process. For now, if you’re part of a news organization, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can enable it for your website.

The problem with this approach is, that they get to decide who is a journalist and who is not.

Sure, but someone should probably make sure Ben Shapiro isn't marked as a journalist...
