It’s much bigger now.

During the first migration it was mostly techie people and college kids who all could keep up. But now there’s completely non-tech aware people on Reddit daily and exceptionally niche forums without another real alternative.

Home Assistant Link is a bit too long to type out. We should call it HAL instead. HAL will never turn on its creators.

Well everyone who’s eaten a tomato has either: A) already died or B) is going to die

I like the concept. I don’t know how it would work in practice.

I think it would ultimately end up fragmented, especially when funding gets involved.

Who makes the decision for what gets funded? What is that decision process?

I think there will be space for a community funded news non-profit, but also I think NPR is already primed to fill that void.

I think an aggregated approach is more “Fediverse” like. But once again, who decides what does/doesn’t get published?

I think if those decisions and how they’re made are transparent, that would increase credibility, but it would end up being silo’ed because people like to read/watch things that they already agree with.

As I said earlier, I think PBS & NPR are primed to take on this kind of role. Personally I would love some more non-profit news reporting organizations.
