Negatives clearly outweigh the positives, says editor-in-chief.

    “We have therefore decided to stop sharing our content on this network as long as it operates in this way, and we recommend that Le Monde journalists do the same. We will also redouble our vigilance on several other platforms, notably TikTok and Meta, following Mark Zuckerberg’s worrying statements,” Fenoglio added, referring to the Meta chief’s recent political heel-turn.

    😩 I doubt they really actually care. It’s just about getting ahead of the curve and guessing where others will migrate towards. If they really cared, they’d have mentioned the fediverse and invited people to follow them on a self-hosted instance.

      I’m still surprised self hosting mastodon instances isn’t more popular among press/media brands

      All the benefits of posting on twitter with complete control of how your brand is presented.

        They don’t have a Mastodon instance, but they do have an official Mastodon account: @lemonde@mastodon.social

            Yes! It’s just automated posts but at least they keep it running. I sometimes repost some news from there to try to show them that there’s someone looking at it haha.

          More decentralisation right? Well, that’s great and all but they will fail because they are too technical (the friendica website), and you can’t expect people to choose servers and whatnot. Bluesky did it perfectly, the app is clean and nice and you aren’t expected to know whatever the hell is a server or to choose one.

            Oh boy, you must be young.

            I remember hearing the same arguments about email.

            And the internet.
