By now, you may or may not have heard that 4 Vice journalists/editors recently quit to found their own venture. @404mediaco has already been breaking news. One piece, for instance, resulted in the New York MTA discontinuing a "feature" after showing stalkers could use it to track people without their knowledge (https://www.404media.co/mta-will-disable-omny-trip-history-feature-abuse/). 404 Media doesn't (yet) have much of a presence on Mastodon, but I'm hoping that will change.

Please follow journalist @josephcox, editor @jasonkoebler and the site itself: @404mediaco. I'm hoping that once they see the engagement that's possible here, they'll beef up their presence. Please also consider subscribing to 404 Media if you can afford it.

Please RT for reach.

Interesting selection of articles... As someone who shoots a lot of film, I liked the recent article https://www.404media.co/how-and-why-to-get-into-film-photography/

How (and Why) to Get Into Film Photography

Shooting film is expensive, slow, and incredibly inconvenient. That's what makes it so magical.
