i've often wondered about this myself… how come apolitical or even leftist alt social media receives so little attention? is it that it's not "interesting" enough? i'm also shocked that the mainstream speaks so little about the fediverse Sent via Superhuman ( https://sprh.mn/?vip=defaultefriend@gmail.com ) On Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 1:24 PM, Robert W Gehl < air-l@listserv.aoir.org > wrote:
Apropos of the discussion about where to go when Musk takes over Twitter, I wanted to share a piece I just posted on The Conversation pushing back against the tendency in news (and some scholarship) to reduce alternative social media to right-wing social media sites, such as Gab:

I'd like us to start talking about citizens' social media (which I believe the fediverse might be) as opposed to both corporate social media like Twitter and right-wing social media like Gab.
Perhaps this can inform a bit of the conversation we're about to have at AOIR about a possible AOIR-run social media site!
