As usual. Another thing some of them do is announcing their Mastodon account but in reality it is nothing more than a Twitter repost bot and zero interaction.
I’m just guessing here but I’d assume this is a knock-on effect from Stan Grant’s resignation from copping abuse, if individual show’s accounts are closed and they just leave the general news or sport accounts you would think people are less likely to associate those account with a presenter of a specific show to target hate towards that individual. We also have the recent industrial relation laws around the employer’s responsibility in providing a mentally safe work environment.
Nah - the ABC was pretty big on its twitter integration. We had a few long running, decade+ old forum-style shows where people could/would tweet in live to be part of the program.
This is a big thing for Aunty, in terms of its culture.
But they’re leaving their two main accounts - news and sports - on Twitter? The two things that people really use the ABC for?
Sounds like an ‘exit’ to me.
