Giornalismo anti-Big Tech. L’esperienza di @saskia di @newsmast al Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo, 2025
La comunicazione e l’advocacy sul social web aperto stanno fallendo. Tutti cercano di dire qualcosa, ma in realtà nessuno dice nulla.
Il linguaggio tecnico non funziona. Questo include il “Fediverso”. Le campagne isolate su reti decentralizzate non funzionano. Affermando la “purezza” della piattaforma, nessuno impara a conoscere questi spazi. “Costruisci e arriveranno” non è vero. Gli esseri umani sono cose complesse e hanno bisogno di più di quattro mura per sentirsi a casa.
@teirdes I had the presumption to identify some journalists who I thought were more sensitive to the issue of decentralization and the independence of their digital presence. I limited myself to those. Many of them didn’t even answer me, while others told me that they would have preferred to register in an international instance, demonstrating that they had understood absolutely nothing about decentralization. And in fact their profiles have stopped being active for a couple of years now… 😅
Now for a while I’ve been dealing more with the consolidation of the instance rather than with new entries, but I will surely soon start doing a bit of a broad-spectrum campaign again, as you suggested and as I should have done from the beginning
@notizie tell me if you need help :)
@teirdes Thank you, even if it would take a specific commitment in each Nation, explaining well, based on the characteristics of the national publishing industry, What could be the strengths of opening your publishing to the Fediverse.
Of course one of the critical points that I see is that of advertising collection and fundraising in general.
Publishing and monetization in fact go hand in hand, with the additional variable due to the fact that many online newspapers are actually fictitious and designed only to publish garbage pre-digested by artificial intelligence. In this scenario, real journalism finds itself facing new critical issues and unfair competition. Asking publishers to enter the Fediverse without solving this problem is very difficult
