If only it were to mastodon. Though baby steps, i guess
Or, hear me out, whatever happened to just hosting your own fucking website and RSS stream? Not everything needs to an opportunity for a random Joe to drop his two cents in.
...we are building a social web here, that is why.
If you just want a website with rss, why be here?
Not the European institutions. They exist on their own merits that have nothing to do with building social webs.
I'm also sick of LIVE news channels hosting on YouTube that enable chat rooms without any supervision and force it onto your face unless you close them. Just disable that shit, you aren't dedicated streamers, who do bother to moderate chats.
"Social webs" where they are not needed are just increasingly becoming an opportunity to saturate with shit posts, fake news, and propaganda by randoms. I am not going to them for a random two cent Joe's opinion, I am going to them for whatever their trained and paid professionals are providing.
It can be federated to some degree, but shouldn't be as a two way participant . For example, as a read only instance whom you can receive a user in if you are part of that institution, but whose use will also be limited to that instance and with only a very limited and controlled portion of those instances being shared with other instances.
Hmm.
It'd be interesting for to see a forum whereby it's all readable by anybody, but only those at the top of their fields can post/comment.
I imagine there'd be a gap between those comments and what the rest of us can understand but I kinda like the idea in terms of ensuring we get intelligent, well thought out, comments on important news stories.
Thankfully this glorious thing is still being built and small enough for your opinion to be seen by those building it.
I disagree, but i think your viewpoint is valid.
