… Which is more remarkable beacuse we are talking about one type of revenue loss for Twitter.

Twitter is also seeking new ways to make up that revenue, particularly through their premium accounts, and Twitter is fighting a war against censorship. I do not agree with everything they do, but there’s a certain amount of nobility there.

Us older guys even remmeber the idea of Vidor cassette killing the traditional classroom lol

Which is a fabulous point - I made such a remark to someone else about how even the papers of record these days seldom are doing much in terms of actual journalism, rather they are repeating the same facts as everyone else and editorializing on them.

Journalism was already dead

Well said

it could even be treated like a sort of human rights issue - you just have the right to share content from websites via links, and whatever stupid laws about how you owe us money now…! are invalid.

It’s also so weird because there are these laws in place that allow us to cite portions of things without having to pay for anything. I think it’s even up to something like 25% of a publication that can be republished just for the purpose of citing it or criticizing it…

Wild that at this point you just won’t be able to share links.

I see how this could be really great if a site got up and we had a lot of consenting artists releasing their material for free. There’s a lot of potential. But I also see agree with @Owner_of_donky@donky.social – it’s a recipe for otherwise getting wrecked by legal problems as people upload copyrighted music.

I’pll consider putting some old podcast stuff I have done up there at some point, and if I ever do podcasting seriously again, definitely I would host it through the fediverse.

Absolutely agreed - we need to actively be abandoning the platforms they hand to us.
