Why would anyone care, honestly. Right now most articles are actually written by some special interest and then copied by all the media outlets with minimal changes. Ever seen an error in a report on e.g. CNN and find out that same error was made by some paper in Germany? That’s why. Journalism was already dead, so it’s time to stop paying the hacks and just let the AI do it for free. No one should be reading non-local news anyway as it’s propaganda. If it’s true, you can be sure it’s just by coincidence.

It’s not infighting. What makes a system like a fedaverse more resilient is being able to break association if needed. There is no central group that can force standards on you.
