I wrote about Twitter's policy paralysis, hypocrisy and moderation issues fuelled by the inconsistent vision of the new owner. It summarises the Indian as well as the global concerns under the new regime.

With the reinstatement of deplatformed users and a lack of consistent policy over everything including the 'blue tick', Elon Musk's Twitter has become exactly what he promised it won't: A 'free-for-all hellscape'. An #AltNews report

Who gave the title ‘Mahatma’ to MK Gandhi? Certainly not the British

The image of a letter from a book has been widely circulating on social media and on Whatsapp with the claim that it is the copy of the memorandum through which the British Raj officially recognized the title of ‘Mahatma’ assigned to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

I should have done this last Friday but could not because I was seriously ill. However, I am doing it now. I had recorded a podcast for #NIAS. I had interviewed one of the founders of #Altnews.in Pratik Sinha for it. In it we discuss the problems fact checkers face in India. The podcast has been published on Dec 16th #founders and you can listen to the podcast under the link below. Hope you enjoy it and looking forward to your comments.

A couple of days ago, #AltNews co founders @pratik and Md Zubair, spoke about how to resist #fascism at a film festival in #Kolkata. Two important take aways... Alt News will deploy more resources in enhancing digital literacy across India and continue to find solutions towards developing more empathy towards human rights violation across India.

Do you this was front page worthy news?

@akhmxt When I click on the user link for @pratik I am redirected to altnews instance page. Nice to see #altnews running its own instance with #soapbox Frontend. Is it running #pleroma or #mastodon ?

People interested in following must type the username with instance name and search. Then from the results they can click on follow.

It does not really matter if the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't go to them. Isn't it enough what they have already done and have shown what they can? More power to them. I am happy they made their way to the 354 nominees and shortlisted by bookies and the Time magazine!
