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

@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.

@evan Twitter used to be a good place to get breaking news, I followed several news organisations there. But now I get the same stuff in my RSS reader. I still occasionally find interesting news on Mastodon. I follow the link and then come back here, I don't need the full text in my feed.
But of course it could be nice if more news organisations were here. And more newsmakers. Although taking to people who aren't either seems more interesting. And it's cosier because certain people are not here. -

@filippodb bellissima idea, chissà che il prossimo non sia io!

@_elena @sknob @TIBtv I saw it too! I love how an “ad” on this stream is just Elena talking about how wonderful the Fediverse is! Love it.

@gmarcosanti basta che non ti fai sentire agitato e non ti fa niente

@DigiDavidex sei un temerario.
Con un'ape anche si, ma con una vespa non mi fido.

😈 Ho degooglizzato il video più visto dell’anno sulla… #degooglizzazione.
È il video di una delle star mondiali di YouTube che ha deciso di iniziare una vera e propria crociata contro #Google
Peccato fosse su YouTube 😏
