Decentralize it. We're getting there. The details are:

Servers and apps for reading, watching and listening that require no middleman. See #ghost #wordpress @wallabag #peertube #owncast #podcasting

The social news feed that lets important news and ideas go viral without algos or anybody being able to shut down access for large portions of the network. That's everything using #ActivityPub.

Direct automatic funding of journalism using an open protocol. #interledger #PublicPatron #FediForFiat

yes but that doesn't change the news environment. and everyone getting their news from only them would also not be healthy. that's still a kind of concentration where top level people have a bias and can be misinformed at times. we need their funding model but spread over the entire journalism landscape, where we get to decide what's most important together. the MAGA perspective grows cause it plays to our tabloid impulses, where the algo spreads anything we pause on.
