Next Month 'New Techrights' Turns Two

The previous article/page was #10779 since we moved to the SSG - something that we had planned since 2022 if not 2019 (the former year was the implementation, 2019 or 2020 was the concept/strategy). We've moving at a pace of about 6,000 per year and gaining speed over time. Workflows evolve and improve. We also hear from more whistleblowers and tipsters. The SLAPPs hardly slow us down, we've turned the tables [1, 2, 3], and we plan to write thousands of articles about the SLAPPs in years to come. They won't be our main focus, we can pace it down to one a day. That's less than 5% of the whole.

Today we produced many short articles and didn't do any memes. We curated links for Gemini Protocol and for the Web. Next week will not be eventful, so we expect more of the same. Next month, on the fourth week, it'll be 2 years since the migration. We don't plan a party until the site's anniversary in November.

Sometimes people look back at things and realise that - with or without regret - they ought to have done something even sooner than they did. In the case of the SSG, we did that years 'too late'. We suffered all sorts of DDoS attacks and spent a lot of time messing about with components that distracted from what matters most: reading, researching, writing, publishing.
