@Flipboard@flipboard.social I always try to follow #media and #journalists directly and I'm often annoyed at how many media still haven't made it here.
Flipboard is not just an alternative, you do exactly the job well that they fail to do. The editorial offices could learn from you and finally create their decentralised/independent spaces.

@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe You surely understand that you pay them with your money-worth personal data. Every user contributes to the size and therefore the power of a big platform. No users = no money.
But not every user has the power to be heard there. Tw's algorithms and shadowbans have long been working against democracy and freedom!
People often choose the Fediverse because they understand that democracy needs independence and the open fight against fascism. Please understand that too!
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe Sorry to say that: I had empathy for a long time.
But since the owner's open help for fascism (including shadowbanning of activists) and now all his campaign aid and open admiration for Trump, we should learn from German history! If these people come to power in Nov, there will be chaos and the destruction of freedom and democracy worldwide (European right-wing extremists are just waiting for it).
Your data give him power/money. Far-right extremists will give you nothing! 1/2
@stefano@bsd.cafe Until now, I even didn't know that they were here. This could be a hint for so many: They don't link to their Mastodon accounts, they don't make enough promotion where to find them. How would users follow them?
@Flipboard@flipboard.social I just subscribed to the hashtag because I discovered papers I never heard of before. Thanks!
