"New Mastodon accounts should be private by default."@evan @luis_in_brief *nod* i want social networks where i can communicate with people who have something fun or interesting to say, not social media where i passively ingest what a few celebrities produce en masse.
of course, i'm probably not a very profitable customer for ad-supported networks

People have gotten so used to the existence of the Internet Archive’s web archive that they forget how revolutionary and subversive it is.@jetz_kiterr @LovesTha @molly0xfff @riley part of civil disobedience is having a plan for taking your licks when they enforce the bad law against you for it, and organizing around it. i sincerely hope this has been carefully planned and coordinated by our friends at i.a!

lol "2K Games provided a flight from Chicago to Baltimore and accommodation for two nights so that Ars could participate in the preview opportunity for Civilization VII. Ars does not accept paid editorial content."@coffeegeek yeah I'm just being snarky
In an ideal world journalism of all sorts would be sufficiently funded for consistent independent coverage without relying on vendors to hopefully not retaliate on the next thing if they don't like your coverage, and you wouldn't have to make compromises like that that might, or might not, affect the quality or extensiveness of coverage.
We don't live in that world.
