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

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

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

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.
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.

I think that public broadcasters can lead the way on this. If they don't rely on ads on their sites, they can include their full content in social networking posts -- not just a link.
@evan I like your analysis, but the social media UI I'm using is not adequate to read full articles (even short ones are painful). So not only the publishers need to provide the full article to the social media UI, that UI additionally needs to be improved accordingly.
Also, sadly, many public broadcasters rely on ads. -

Likewise. Most of my "follows" on Mastodon are just various news junkies that summarize, link to and comment on breaking stories and broader investigations - with most of these drawing from numerous sources.

@benroyce I'm picturing him crawling everywhere to get through door frames... and good luck getting in a car, a bus or inside a subway. The kind of haircut that forces you to walk everywhere (maybe it's a good thing?) 😆

@liztai if there are typos, they'll accuse you to put those typos intentionally inside an AI generated text to make it more "human" 😆

@bsdtv @me thank you! You're right, next time someone accuses me of being an AI, I'll tell them to come to a BSD conference and check for themselves.

Febbre da maranza nel paese che non c’è | il manifesto
https://ilmanifesto.it/febbre-da-maranza-nel-paese-che-non-ce
> Città (Italia) «Il maranza è il nuovo cocco degli intellettuali marxisti», titolo de Il Giornale l'altra settimana. Fa ridere. Abbastanza. Potremmo scriverlo su ognuna di queste pagine come una fascetta promozionale. Che esistano davvero dei maranza è discutibile, come sempre è stata discutibile la sociologia giovanile (su teddy boys, punks e ravers prima di loro). Che esistano
