| schestowitz | heres where this is incorrect: | Jan 14 06:23 |
| schestowitz | when there is a major event like the arab spring and people are lucky if they can get tweets through something like an internet killswitch. | Jan 14 06:23 |
| schestowitz | then “real journalism” is done through tweeting. also: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/this-abc-journalist-live-tweeted-the-entire-federal-police-raid-and-the-reporting-is-pure-gold-2019-6 | Jan 14 06:23 |

| schestowitz | sort of like with science-- tweets are the hypothesis and data gathering. in-depth analysis is the verification. both are important to journalism, and tweets on their own (without further analysis) as the entire ecosystem would be a huge step backwards. | Jan 14 06:23 |

| schestowitz | finally, op-eds and commentary are part of the journalistic milieu. and with a bump up from 140 to 280, tweets can easily serve that purpose. | Jan 14 06:23 |
| schestowitz | for what its worth, i dont like this trend with the afp either. it is ripe for abuse / manipulation of its audience. i understand the argument that tweets lend themselves to superficiality, but you can say very meaningful things in 280 characters. i think the bigger problem is that they arent doing that, and also that people will lower their expectations and hold them to lesser standards. that may even be the point. | Jan 14 06:23 |

| schestowitz | he would not accept money as a tool to accomplish tasks, which were actually undermined by the same money. that would be like getting paid to be broke. people like him are too rare, but they do exist. i cant speak for anybody else in the fsf. i am very sceptical these days. but i know free software has always had (still has) far more integrity than open source-- just look at that shitshow, bought and sold from every angle. but i remain | Jan 14 06:26 |
