Over 100 staff accuse BBC of bias in coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11/2/over-100-staff-accuse-bbc-of-bias-in-its-coverage-of-israels-war-in-gaza

It's very sad but not entirely shocking that #RadioFreeFedi is closing down; the writing was on the wall for a while and the folks behind it were overwhelmed. I'm hoping they will take care and take pride in the immense achievement it was, with an absolutely amazing run. But still, I'm also realising, "Shit, with no 'comfy channel' from Radio Free Fedi, what the hell am I going to be woken up to by my RadioDroid alarm in the morning?!" I don't want to go back to grim monotonous standard phone alarms!" Radio Free Fedi ruined me for that (and I'm grateful!)

@fifilamoura Very much so. Again, totally not joined up. My involvement in mask bloc has really shaken things up in that area!

Ooh, only recently realised that a few Covid-cautious activists are apologists for genocide while resisting the perpetuation of a pandemic. I had wondered what their problem was, and now I get it. Let's remember that not everyone is intersectional: just because someone is good on one issue doesn't mean they are willing to join together the dots. #NoneAreFreeUntilAllAreFree #FreePalestine #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

@seachanger You're right. And thank you so much for your encouragement and support - it means so much! I hope to roll out a few clearer explanations about it soon so we can get a little group together at some point to see what we can accomplish!

How to spot a clout-chaser: Someone who never says fuck all unless it's to criticise - rightly criticising media silos, but if you propose an inclusive, dynamic and horizontal network of mutual aid media with no leaders, they scream "That'll just create another silo!" because, you know, they're of course in no way creating another silo themselves. They could never do that. No, they're experienced in ways we could never be. They're special, you see.

@witchescauldron @onepict @perpetrator @freetechproject I don't really know what you just said. And in fairness, you probably didn't understand the manifesto either, it seems. Which is fine, it's not for everyone! Good luck!
