Been thinking a lot lately about the conflict between:
- Making the web more open and interoperable with APIs, data exports, and easier search functionality
- The need for privacy and consent with opt-in defaults, protections against data scraping / mining, owned + siloed websites
These values seem fundamentally opposed to me, no? Am I missing something?
@mariyadelano THIS IS A VERY GOOD POINT.
This is a part of the mess of mixing up personal (privacy) and public news/media that the #dotcons did for ten years. We have reproduced this mess on the #fedivers without composting.
We already have a solution for this #fedivers is public, encrypted chat applications are private #KISS
The problem is we have unthinking people trying to do the #dotcons mess of mixing these up. This is all to common crap behaver.
News need to be #4opens and in public #OMN #OGB #indymediaback

> news needs to be 4opens and in public
Some "mandatory" categorization might also be in order where it is clear which sector is being reported on.
e.g. the #WHO is apparently a private organization (funded by big pharma) but you wouldn't guess that from the news reporting that talks about in the same breath as public instituitions.
this is simuler to what #bluesky has reinvented.

Using existing 2008 indymedia process and instead of using category, we will be using hashtags to subject flows
