I've just shared my story on why I've left other social media for the Fediverse at the Guardian.

theguardian.com/media/2024/nov…

Perhaps more people could tell them about this place? Maybe some of it will be published allowing more people to discover the Fediverse.

Tell us: have you migrated between social media platforms recently?

We would like to hear from people who have recently switched social media platforms about their reasons why

Is there an official #TheGuardian account on here? Looking it up I see a huge list of potentials but most are bots and it's unclear which is the official one.

Edit: particularly wondering because I read on French news (#LeMonde) that the guardian had 19000 followers on Mastodon.. Where did they get that from?🤔 (lemonde.fr/actualite-medias/ar…)

Edit 2: The Guardian does not link to a Mastodon account from their website which probably means they do not have an official account. However I did email them to let them know they would be welcome on Mastodon / the Fediverse!

Guardian Newspaper Will Stop Posting on Twitter

The London-based media group said it would stop posting to any of its official editorial accounts on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.

"In running an opinion piece that suggests it may now be acceptable to use the term genocide about Gaza, the Guardian has admitted it has been – even according to its own resident genocide expert – complicit in obscuring that genocide for a half a year.

Remember that when editor Kath Viner comes cap in hand once again, as she did this week, begging for money from readers for her brand of supposedly “fearless, independent journalism”.

A year late, the Guardian finally permits us to use the term 'genocide'

It's not the World Court, non-western states, rights groups and Palestinians who have been using the term genocide 'too lightly'. It's the Guardian that's reached the same conclusion far, far too late
