> Open.News is the command center for the decentralized newsverse.
Looks like they're ingesting people's fediverse feeds into LLMs and feeding slop to people. I only noticed because it was mostly visiting non-existent or malformed URLs.

Fewer people pointing out problems, and more people suggesting solutions. And then doing the work to implement them.
