Are you tired of clickbait and the current state of journalism? This community is meant to remind you that excellent journalism still happens. While not sticking to a specific topic, the focus will be on high-quality articles and discussion around their topics.

Politics is allowed, but should not be the main focus of the community.

Submissions should be articles of medium length or longer. As in, it should take you 5 minutes or more to read it. Article series’ would also qualify.

Please either submit an archive link, or include it in your summary.

Rules:

  1. Common Sense. Civility, etc.
  2. Server rules.

It used to be a user friendly lightweight browser.

Now it’s hardly recognizable from its launch. It’s heavy bloated and slurps up user data into invasive user profiles.

Those individual user profiles are rolled up into buckets of collective thoughts ripe for analysis and manipulation.

Can I get this group of people to buy my product? To read my book? To vote the way I want them to? To pay attention to this national issue? To ignore that one?
