Summary: In order to separate the wheat from the chaff we've been working on simple, modular tools that process news and help curate the Web, basically removing the noise to squeeze out the signal
THE concept behind Free Software emanates from many programmers' desire to not only produce useful software but also to share this usefulness with many other people, either in exchange for recognition or further improvements to that software.
Lately we've developed a number of programs (Free Software of course, GPLV3-licensed) that help produce/curate Daily Links. Some time later this month or next month we'll properly explain what they are and how they work. Other people too deserve access to the toolsets. ⬆
There's no guarantee that writing the truth will result in an audience (or readership), but over time - in the long run - people generally gravitate towards what they know or feel to be crude truth, not just what's comforting (albeit false or self-deluding, usually groupthink dictated from above)
Democracy depends on free press and freedom of the press depends on being able to safely publish (and keep available) material that bad people don't want to be known to anybody
The Web is really getting bad; it's also overwhelmed by fake material or plagiarised material, wherein the plagiarism gets disguised/hidden by LLM sausage factories
