My cofounder Dame (npub164z…wtjq) pointed me in this direction. I just wanted to say that we both relate to this a lot when it comes to working on We Distribute (npub1w9w…k403).
There are all kinds of headaches and logistical hurdles to starting a news publication, from finding passionate and qualified writers to hours of dedicated research to editing stories to get them exactly right.
When I started this thing, I just thought it would be neat if the Social Web had their own "OMG! Ubuntu" site for that particular space. Over time, though, I've become way more interested in telling human stories, and reporting on some of the uglier, harsher things that come up: infighting, monopolization, ecosystem problems, CSAM, doxxing, you name it.
I decided some time ago that I'd stop being a cheerleader, and start reporting the actual news, even if it made people mad. I still get to write cool and fun pieces, but this decision has helped shape the kind of culture our organization is about.
We're still in the process of figuring out incorporation and fundraising ourselves. It's really tough! But I just wanted to say that we see you, relate to an lot of what you're doing, and wish you the best on your journey!
