Popular YouTube creators hold so much power in raising awareness about alternatives to Big Tech platforms.

I felt hope while watching Johnny Harris's latest video "The Internet Didn't Fail. It Was Taken"... which ultimately launched a new initiative: crowdsourced journalism on a site called NewPress.

Looking at screenshots I thought the site was hosted on #Ghost and thus federated.

Alas it's on SquareSpace and filled with trackers 😭

Who can we get on the Fediverse? Maybe Vanessa Wingårdh?
