Hello everyone, and thanks to @poliversity for hosting! I chose poliversity because it's dedicated to Italian journalists (and I, modestly, was one) and because it allows posts to be over 500 characters long!

You may know me as @giorgiosarto@newsie.social since I've always had my account on newsie.social, but I've noticed that that account blocks Reddit-like platforms like Lemmy: https://newsie.social/@giorgiosarto/114935856694572775
I've also had problems with the Italian social network in the past.
If you have any questions, I've run several tests:

The administrator never responded to my requests for clarification!
I'm sorry that a server that's supposed to be dedicated to journalism is restricted in this way.
I'm also sorry that many of my former journalist colleagues (I'm now retired) are still in that instance, and I honestly don't know how things are going with the journa.host instance, which belongs to the same editorial group. To them, I'd like to say that it's never a good idea for a journalist to be trapped in a social media bubble, especially when you're in the Fediverse, which should be open to everything and everyone!
