Popular YouTube creators hold so much power in raising awareness about alternatives to Big Tech platforms.
I felt hope while watching Johnny Harris's latest video "The Internet Didn't Fail. It Was Taken"... which ultimately launched a new initiative: crowdsourced journalism on a site called NewPress.
Looking at screenshots I thought the site was hosted on #Ghost and thus federated.
Alas it's on SquareSpace and filled with trackers ðŸ˜
Who can we get on the Fediverse? Maybe Vanessa Wingårdh?
