So... last night I pointed out that @filieesposito@mastodon.social, the editor for 9to5Mac made some pretty embarrassing factual errors in an article about Bluesky... and rather than fix those factual errors... he (1) blocked me on mastodon and (2) left the story as is.
In the past I had always considered 9to5Mac and its related publications to be credible sources of news, but now I feel the need to re-evaluate that.
Reporters make mistakes. We all do. It's how you *respond* that matters.
