  • People want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.

    Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.

    Let me take a stab at explaining how the fediverse works.

    The fediverse is a loose collection of communities with different rules and values that freely decide to share content with each other. These communities foster different opinions. The choice to freely associate with other communities is the antithesis to echo chambers, meaning we don’t go around with an attitude of “that kind of thought doesn’t happen here”.
