@kims @pkrugman mastodon lets you move servers and bring your followers. it ought to be the journalistic norm that of course writers who leave are allowed to do that.

it’s true this would create an extra level of leverage and control by employers, undesirably. on the upside, part of that would be used to take back control now in twitter’s hands, so industry wide it’d be in more diverse hands.
