Why would journalists/reporters who have built large Twitter audiences (100k+ followers) move to Farcaster? (short answer: it has become too toxic!)

Read about Rana Rahimpour, formerly the lead presenter with BBC Persian https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-64222261 

Rana was effectively trolled/harassed off Twitter.. simply for doing her job! 

There are many such cases of journalists/reporters that have opted to self-censor, halting their Twitter usage 

These are people who have mastered the art of communicating in a succinct, text-based, participatory format 

They have loyal followers that will migrate with them to new platforms/protocols
