With Twitter's collapse, funders should start helping build up federated discourse: supporting development of better security, of moderation aids, of proposals for affordances welcoming to Black Twitter and other communities. Stop thinking top down. Start thinking emergent.
Stop thinking about how to help newspapers. Start thinking about how to help communities and culture speaking for themselves. This is a place to start.
For example: @alex is seeing security vulnerabilities in this Fediverse; foundations should fund development to close them.
Better yet: @shengokai makes forceful arguments for affordances necessary for the community of Black Twitter; foundations should fund that development.
Developers - e.g., @blaine & @davew - will gather 'round needs and ideas that are well-defined. Foundations and philanthropists can thereby support sustainable development of public discourse.

Be great if you could link to some examples of Alex doing that, I'm keen to know more.
