Alternative digital platforms ignored by mainstream media, author claims

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The article argues that alternative digital platforms and concepts like "digital sovereignty" are largely absent from mainstream media coverage. This lack of attention stems from the perceived incomprehensibility of these topics to both the general public and journalists. Even established alternatives like GNU/Linux and Mastodon receive minimal coverage, often only appearing when major platforms like Windows or X face criticism. The author criticizes the notion that no viable alternatives exist, citing German-developed platforms like Pleroma and Akkoma, and questions the usability and necessity of new, government-funded alternatives when established ones are overlooked.

    Have you noticed? Autistici/Inventati is not featured in the mass media. And that is exemplary. I estimate that the topic itself is for the general public

    Schon gemerkt? Autistici/Inventati findet in den Massenmedien nicht statt. Und das ist exemplarisch. Ich schätze mal, das Thema an sich ist für die breite Masse – und somit auch die breite Masse der Journalisten – komplett unverständlich. Zum einen kann die Presse damit nichts an…
