    NPR says they didn’t lose any traffic when they left Twitter, the Times should leave too.

      At this point, one of the things keeping Twitter alive is that 99 percent of journalists and media outlets have refused to leave, despite all the evidence that there’s nothing to be gained for them on that platform.

      It’s just their own FOMO that keeps them there.

      I’d wish they’d follow the lead of those organizations who simply left, or, better yet, started up their own Mastodon instances.

        I’m sure their social media managers are acting more on fear of losing employees than fear of missing out.

        It’s hard to argue that switching to some platform they’re not familiar with and will likely have even less of an impact still continue to justify their employment.
