One final thought.

During the 2010s, I became active in a variety of microcultures.

The tragedy of most of them is that they were hosted on a variety of proprietary social platforms, and died when these platforms didn’t attain an increase in shareholder value.

But this isn’t a problem with the Fediverse.

The Fediverse is an excellent destination for creativity because no one can own it.

@atomicpoet I don't know if you need any confirmation that your words are very actual, but here it is. I've been a journalist since I was 17. I graduated in Journalism in Political Sciences here in Sarajevo.

Quit journalism after a stress-induced heart attack when I was only 34. Since then, I have worked in marketing/PR and am now a community manager in an IT company.

Journalism has been leashed for far too long.

@atomicpoet that's true, but..that assumes that the servers stay up.

Behind the Fediverse is a whole bunch of Harry Tuttles keeping the whole thing going.

I guess that makes the Fediverse sort of....Punk?

@justinmwhitaker The Fediverse subsists on duplicates and duplicates of duplicates.

@atomicpoet has there ever been paid journalism that is not agenda driven?

Chris Trottier replied to woolie

@wooliex Depends how you define “agenda”.

@atomicpoet I've spent my entire life lurking in subcultures. This suits me just fine.

@atomicpoet i‘m still in a mailing list, which started in mid 90s as a Yahoo! Group and had to move to Google Groups (because Yahoo! ended the service) but the number and activity shrinked to a minimum (nearly died)
