Twitter disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

It feels like the more speech we produced on the internet the more of it turned out to be bullshit. We need to turn to quality over quantity.

That's a really interesting point. The question to me becomes: what facilitates quality over quantity? What encourages earnest dialectic dialogue over raging and trolling? I don't see the twitter format as the answer. Lemmy I feel is somewhat better at facilitating such a culture.

We need non-profit news outlets that are publicly and internationally founded with transparent decision-making.

~~Non-profit, public, transparent, those are all things any government body should be. What it seems you're describing is a centralised government body for determining truth/falsehood. To the exclusion of all others?~~

~~If you want to know what's going on in the world, read from at least 4 news sources from different parts of the world with different slants and ideologies. Note: they will contradict each other.~~

woops sorry, I misread outlets, thought it read outlet...

Depends, how stiff is his neck?

Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X. in c/technology@lemmy.world

I think it's the opposite. On Mastadon you can make a new account on a better server ie mods more aligned with you. On bluesky if you make a new account and say a similar bannable thing again you'll be banned again.

Fact: there was only ever one rape allegation and it was brought by the cops. The alleged victim refused to sign the statement to police and never signed a version which was edited later. All names were then leaked illegally to the tabloid press before JA was questioned. Read Prof Nils Melzer's well-researched book.

Assange: guilty of journalism (sh.itjust.works)
 

Distinguished journalist and publisher Julian Assange is free and finally home, but he spent 13 years in detention, of which over 5 years in a high security prison before being sentenced to time served. The empire's clutches reach far and wide. Australia and the United Kingdom accept the US' jurisdictional overreach. The precedent set by his decade and a half of persecution and torture will have lasting consequences for our right to speak and hear of US government crimes. Julian was coerced to plead guilty to the crime of journalism as criminalised by the Espionage Act (1917) even as he believes it is in contradiction with the First Amendment of the US constitution. Today we celebrate Julian's return home to us. Tomorrow we declare our independence.
