A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I've been able to get involved and in touch with people who help run 50501 locally, it's hard work for little payoff. In order to plan for a general strike and protest would take weeks in advance, we're just now getting organized and mobilized (especially in a southern city where the economy hasn't been impacted too bad). People really underestimate the work and time it takes to get anything done

Thanks for your effort. Organization is the ONLY thing we can do that will help right now, other than creating new types of social media, long story though don't want to get into it right now. Fediverse could work, but new types, with better rules fairly enforced and immune to government and business hooks.
