Just for fun I went to look at the four sites Jason linked to, the ones he thinks may be of no value. Each asked me to share my information with 119 vendors. I'm not going to do that. And spending on adverts is not going to deliver visitors either.
Always good, and this time, super pleased by the link to a chart of which glue to use when, and how.
Anti-Big Tech Journalism
Tech language does not work. That includes the 'Fediverse'. Campaigns isolated on decentralised networks do not work. By claiming platform 'purity' no one new is learning about these spaces. Build and they will come is not true. Humans are complex things and they need more than four walls to feel at home.
True for almost everyone, not just journalists.
