Everyone seems to agree that getting your news from social networks is a bad idea.

But it's also possible to include a subscription model into social networks. You can't follow Publication X unless you make a payment, either in-band or out-of-band. It's how the newsletter market works, after all.
Even advertisements can work to some extent in full-content posts, although you don't easily get the same level of targeting as with the click-through model.

We have a great opportunity to make the social news experience much better on the Fediverse.

@evan Only if there's a "More" button between lede and full content, in my opinion. Else it would make scrolling a nightmare, especially on mobile.

I know that I'm a techno-utopian, but I believe that having more voices in the conversation is a net good, not a net evil.

@evan Interesting thoughts but the bottom line is that independent journalism is a very costly endeavour (and you know have to fear that the US president will sue you for $10 billion). Giving out articles for free necessitates other streams of income which can be even more problematic (selling user data to the highest bidder, for example). The desirable wider sharing of content only becomes possible when more people are prepared to pay more for journalism’s role.

@christianschwaegerl I didn't ask anyone to do anything for free. You should read it again.

Very few commentators note how abominable the user experience for news is on social networking software.

@evan But I’m confronted with that expectation a lot here. And while I think integrating micro-payments in social media could be beneficial for creators of all walks, resistance will be massive.

1) That's not me. Go argue with those people directly.
2) One great part of the Fediverse is that you don't have to use anything you don't want to. Anyone who doesn't want to use subscriptions or ads or donations or whatever doesn't have to.

Anyways, I think there is work to be done on making social network interfaces more conducive to good news reading. It's probably a reasonable research project for the Social Web Foundation and others.

sono a Buenos aires
L'aeroporto cittadino (equivalente di Linate) è stato chiuso perché per l'eccesso di calore si è staccato l'asfalto dalla pista e cautelativamente è stato chiuso per diverse ore
i voli siamo stati dirottati sul secondo aeroporto (equivalente di Malpensa) che naturalmente è stato ipercongestionato con tempi di consegna dei bagagli di 3-4 ore e molte coincidenze saltate
i danni delle bufale sul cambiamento climatico ...

Loud, shrieking, amateur drinkers have left the pub of their own accord. One of our group held open the door to hasten their exit.
Remember folks - a pub is for life, not just Xmas.

@ballalloi @12ax7 un meme è l'equivalente psicologico di un gene, un'idea che si autopropaga, legandosi a stereotipi, luoghi comuni, tropos e topoi.
(Es. comunisti mangiabambini)
Quelle volgarmente chiamate “(internet) meme” dovrebbero piú propriamente chiamarsi image macros (esistono internet memes che NON sono image macros, come ad esempio «internet è solo una serie di tubi»)
