[14:33] Techrights-sec The wiki gets updated, for example. ● Feb 26 [15:26] Techrights-sec more "tweets" in place of reliable news sources by mainstream media has [15:26] Techrights-sec gotten much worse [15:27] schestowitz-TR I've become more 'mean-spirited' towards social conterol media as a whole [15:27] schestowitz-TR there is no assumption that people need to have a badsi understanding [15:27] schestowitz-TR to comment on some subjects [15:27] schestowitz-TR even stallman.org is full of guates'; guardian, soi I deleted that [15:27] schestowitz-TR from my rss feeds [15:27] schestowitz-TR I would rather read nothing at all about some topic than read bullshit about it [15:31] Techrights-sec The misuse of tweets in place of news sources and in place of official [15:31] Techrights-sec communicaton channels has worsened greatly. It is accepted as normal by [15:31] Techrights-sec the "news" these days and not considered in light of its fundamental [15:31] Techrights-sec drawbacks. [15:31] Techrights-sec Unfortuantely the bullshit is all the news is starting to produce since they;ve [15:31] Techrights-sec given on investigation. Also they are pushed into bullshit by (worst of all) [15:31] Techrights-sec politicians and agencies which insist on makeing press statements via [15:31] Techrights-sec social control media, perhaps even knowing full well that it is unreliable [15:31] Techrights-sec afiltered and skewed. [15:31] Techrights-sec Thus feeding the disinformation cycle. [15:33] schestowitz-TR yes, exactly [15:33] schestowitz-TR unlike you (I think(, I'm not all negatuive [15:33] schestowitz-TR some decent news sources do exist [15:33] schestowitz-TR they are not so well known [15:33] schestowitz-TR and can be audited on the fly [15:33] schestowitz-TR trhen rejected [15:33] schestowitz-TR we do not need 1000 newsrooms [15:33] schestowitz-TR the main issue then is, [15:33] schestowitz-TR a lot of people around us are led to believe in BS [15:33] schestowitz-TR even rianne [15:33] schestowitz-TR who gets too much ""news" from gulagtube and billBC [15:33] schestowitz-TR hence I was doing some fact checks lately [15:36] Techrights-sec Ak [15:36] Techrights-sec ack [15:36] Techrights-sec my main complaint in the abobe is that the "news" articles from many services [15:36] Techrights-sec have been leading in with "X tweeted that" or "X tweeted from their official [15:36] Techrights-sec account that " and other sewage. [15:36] Techrights-sec as everywhere else too [15:37] schestowitz-TR I too write crap in social control media sometimes [15:37] schestowitz-TR but I make it very clear, if typos do not give it aay, [15:37] schestowitz-TR that theofficial messages are not in IRC [15:37] schestowitz-TR or in some site that has hashtag [15:37] schestowitz-TR the IRC channels have lately been devolving into russian/east euroe chat [15:37] schestowitz-TR and that is not what techrights is actually about at all [15:37] schestowitz-TR today I saw osnews adding a ukraine flag to their site's logo [15:37] schestowitz-TR I doi not think their authors (still) have any connectiuon to that country [15:37] schestowitz-TR those who i think were russian left ages ago [15:37] schestowitz-TR some french diustro I nsaw yesterday (new release) added a message of [15:37] schestowitz-TR solidarity toi the front page [15:38] Techrights-sec "twactivism" is very empty, it has no effect [15:38] Techrights-sec cutting of SWIFT would be a start but that's not "twactivism" or even activism [15:38] schestowitz-TR every "like" receive is time wasting, not doing something that mibht [15:39] schestowitz-TR actually have a real impact [15:40] schestowitz-TR there was a US president (apparently) for 4 years who wrote lots of crap [15:40] schestowitz-TR all hat crap vanished before he even finished his term [15:40] schestowitz-TR but there was a lot of toxic residue in many peoplee's minds [15:48] Techrights-sec ack [15:48] Techrights-sec and social ccontol media, twitter in particular, fed off that anyway [15:49] schestowitz-TR iirc, those were the only years Twitter ever temporarily made somem profit [15:50] Techrights-sec annual or only quartely?
