Good reporting by the @nytimes.com. Now let’s see the U.S. media investigate the Putin caucus in the House, starting with Mike Johnson (free link). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/15/world/europe/germany-afd-russia.html?ugrp=m&unlocked_article_code=1.kk0.DjOK.CKQ7igp8BIdz&smid=url-share

Here’s what we are reading today:

#Russian trolls are trying to influence US support for Ukraine.

Leaked #Kremlin documents point to an orchestrated online campaign designed fuel fear over American border policies and push isolationism, The Washington Post reports.

I’m increasingly convinced that defederation of Threads will backfires against the instances that defederate.

There is a vocal, but small, minority of users who have very strict opinions on Threads, the Fediverse and Mastodon. But they’re a minority.

The more Threads will federate, the more users who aren’t part of this minority but have to live with the consequences of its demands will ask for a different direction.

V RSF:
6 #journalists working for indy media were arrested in #Russia in a span of a few hours at the end of March. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns these arbitrary arrests as a flagrant attempt to silence Russia’s last independent media outlets and calls for the release of those still held.

Just today Antonina Favorskaya was banned from making a “heart” 🫶🫶 sign at her trial, as acc to the prosecutors it's “a secret sign of extremism.”

I’m flummoxed. Just saw on my inactive Twitter account (which still has 112k followers) that the blue tick is back. The Musk team had taken it away when anyone could begin to buy one. And there’s a notice my account is being reviewed because I purchased a subscription “on another device.” I did not, however, buy a subscription. 🙄

Being a local journalist in the community your family lives in means you run into this sort of thing pretty often.

Well, this is unpleasant news. "This sudden shutdown leaves many small presses and their writers facing an uncertain future, as they grapple with the loss of a vital distribution channel and the logistical challenges of retrieving their inventory." https://authorsguild.org/news/small-press-distribution-closes-what-authors-and-publishers-need-to-know/

Every time a journalist is arrested, it chips away at the First Amendment and your right to know.

I enjoyed today's Q&A at VOA with those who are part of this year’s Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists, which provides an opportunity for young media professionals from around the world to travel to the US through the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program.

Is the internet really more toxic now than it used to be?

Seriously considering that premise via a new study:

"While the platforms and how we use them have evolved, human behaviors in these spaces have remained surprisingly stable."

The ratio the good people of Threads is giving to Marco Rubio is so hard that it's probably illegal in several countries.

Whatever the differences between #Mastodon, #Bluesky or #Threads, users on all three platforms have the same rejection of the far right and its disgusting nonsense. I love that.

(As usual, reply guys and antisocial behavior will receive an instant-block.)
