NY Times - VOA’s broadcasts — long viewed as an important part of U.S. efforts to promote democracy and transparency overseas — are flickering out. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/business/voa-trump-dismantle.html?smid=url-share

It’s been about two and a half years since a small sized portion of InfoSec Twitter moved to Mastodon and the Fediverse. I still think it’s pretty cool that people can have an online social identity and experience entirely free of corporate control.

I think we're done. The U.S., as a country, I mean. As @nomoremister says, what we have in the U.S. likely can't be saved. It's a house that's been flooded and is now full of black mold; it needs to be ripped out to the studs and rebuilt. There are no "patches" to fix it.
