Wha? #TheCanary launched its own independent #media server ...

Last post November 2022 ...

Imagine an online space where you could go to not only receive the latest news about actions in your locality, but also share information about campaigns or events – without driving more traffic to the digital capitalists of Facebook and Twitter, who continue to ban anti-fascists.

Those who recall #IndyMedia will not only be familiar with the concept, but also lament its lack of editorial oversight and eventual collapse under the weight of conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism that have no place in antifascist media.

Last year, the #IWW celebrated writers at The Canary overthrowing management and becoming a workers’ co-operative. But even now, much like the #BylineTimes (a private company with directors), #TheCanary still faces a battle for online clicks within the commercial landscape.

It’s useful to remember that the term “freedom of the press” did not originally mean the media marketplace, but literally the freedom to publish using a printing press: #CitizenJournalism, based on the spirit of #MutualAid.

It is mutual aid that inspired the name of France’s #MutuNetwork that today has over a dozen regional websites in not just #France, but also #Switzerland and #Austria, reporting on striking workers, occupying students, and other local struggles, operated in a non-hierarchical but also non-commercial way – true citizen journalism, with a set of agreed standards.

Several of us media activists have started to discuss how we could develop Local Autonomous Media (or #LoAM) in the UK after hearing about the success of #Mutu. We’ve set up chat groups and even held Jitsi meetings online with Mutu contributors in Switzerland. And we’re looking to set in place the building blocks to create something similar in the UK.

If you’re interested, contact me or email loam at riseup dot net.

Big shout-out to the comrades at The Canary, www.thecanary.co, who run the server that I am on www.independent-media.co.uk. Some days ago it developed a tech problem and I couldn't access my account - presumably neither could others using this server. Once I flagged it up (maybe others did too?) they fixed it promptly and replied to emails. And now I'm happy to be back. What have I missed?#thecanary #independentmedia

Blatant mis-reporting and absence of fact-checking by @BBC leads to belated redaction of published report on transport strikes:

BBC 'punches down - pitting citizen against citizen while absolving those in power of responsibility'.

#UK #independentmedia is moving to #Mastodon from #Twitter but I cannot find them. Looking for #TheCanary #NovaraMediaNews #doubledownnews and such to follow them.

Wherefore art thou, ye annoying buggers?*

*Note for non-Brits, this is educated English of the region I live therein not hate speech. This is how we show affection while maintaining a stiff higher brow. The toffs you may be more familiar with from t.v. don't speak like us & have a stiff upper lip to compensate for having no chin.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

The impeccable #FrancisRichardConolly made reference to this atrocious conduct in his 2014 documentary also.

BTW #theCanary is Cloudflare, last we checked.

@patricksudlow
The revelations that the #CIA even contemplated murdering a journalist and publisher like #JulianAssange show that some in the CIA should be in prison right now, not Assange.

It definately highlights that this whole assault on #journalism needs to end.

Let Assange do his job, dammit.

Also when is that CIA going to be broken up and governed by actual #congressPersons?

#freeAssangeNow

(BTW #theCanary is regretably #Cloudflare)
