Feels like it’s off to a solid start. Change can be good sometimes. I’m using wef wef and feeling right at home! I’m also watching all the apps.

Ultimately, it’s the users and mods they make the community … not a company. I’m also really rooting for them entire fediverse to conceptually take off!!

Do upvoting or downvoting count or only actually posting/commenting?

Eek. Been getting server errors. Sorry for duplicate posts. Hopefully this is because of all of newbies. 😀

Interesting read. Something to keep an eye on but hopefully isolated cases … scary how easy it could tip in the wrong direction though.

Interesting ending. All those silos. It’s not what I expected. Where are the old bodies? I’ve got more questions than ever now!! I might have to read the book.

It might take a while to get S2 so I might have to just read the books instead. 😂

Looks like a login wall. While I get the “joke” or irony, Journalism has never been free. Servers, journalists, investigations, and apps still cost money. So did printing and delivery. There are countless sources of information online so you do not have to join The Times but for some the journalistic value is worth the price.

Wikipedia offers knowledge to the world for free and are maintained through donation (including myself) and philanthropy. It has its issues but provides free information.

I think we can a enjoy a variety of options. Paid journalism, ad based news, and “free” community supported. There likely are other models we can adopt.
