I wish more independent Indian media houses & social movements have their presence in #Fediverse. That would help the #Indian diaspora to consider sticking to the Fediverse.
In the last 7 years of my presence in Fediverse there was only 1 exodus of #Indian and #Tamil diaspora into Fediverse. That too as a protest against #Twitter censorship.
Between the producer - consumer dilemma, the producer should always be the first.

I found only NewsClick to have an unbiased coverage.
