When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».
The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.
B for the effort, but please editors do better!
@_elena The article has corrected both those points, the misspelling and the lack of links. The new editorial process is publish first, have an editor look at it when they have time.
I caught a story on car radio this weekend, NPR, about the fediverse and they spent an inordinately long time mocking the name in the most derisive and childish manner, but did praise ActivityPub, Masto, Pixelfed, et al for being the only viable path forward for a free and open internet. Better than nothing?
@Slyphic @_elena It's not a news article from the news/editorial team, it's one of their "contributor" blogs.
