To understand how catastrophically the media has failed, you only need to look at headlines that say “Officials prepare for election related violence”.
Violence FROM WHO? WHO IS THREATENING VIOLENCE?
Weasely cowards.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
The Intercept's Lee Fang worked with Elon Musk on a "Twitter Files" story and used the opportunity to launch his own personal Substack, knowing his colleague at The Intercept @micahflee is still banned by Elon Musk for his factual reporting on Musk.
If Lee Fang is going to boost his own personal substack at the expense of any kind of principled solidarity with his colleagues, why should I continue my recurring donation to @theintercept?
I'd rather donate directly to Micah Lee and Robert Mackey for their work than continue indirectly to fund Fang's work - let Fang raise money on his own substack.
The reason Mastodon and the Fediverse is spread out on so many servers is it protects it from being taken over by anyone. Not even the richest can buy this place.
Centralised services like Twitter are incredibly easy to buy out. If you move from Twitter to another centralised service, sooner or later that will get bought out too.
The point of the Fediverse is to break this buyout cycle, to let people be permanently in control of their accounts. More info here:
