@prologic not that i want to start yet another project. but what if somehow those of us decentralised could pass credible news around? in a way the ssb project has done this and there's quite a bit of good info, don't see why we can't.
but alas... need to stand up my systems first before trying to solve more problems
@mutefall What is this something I actually strongly believe in. Not only is decentralize social media crate for human social interactions, but I also believe non-biased and factual news can be spread around the world this way to.
The only problem that I say however is that there's no financial incentives in this matter, but is that really a problem?

@prologic i cannot speak for you or others, but for myself financial incentives are irrelevant to me. i prefer to be able to share factual information vs trying to monetise rubbish for gain. again i fallback to the amateur radio model where things are based on facts and data.
for now we could write a small bot to pull in interesting bits that we find and hook it up as a rss feed stream.
@mutefall I agree 💯 And we already do this via feeds.twtxt.net -- At least the structure is in place for writing more bots and automated feeds 👌

@prologic this is definitely what i was leaning towards. whoever wrote yarnd really had it right :-)
@mutefall I'd you look at /feeds and scroll down to "External Feeds" you'll see where they're pulled in and you can follow them from there.
