Who are the @leaflet.pub power users on the reader side? I have a pretty good sense who's *publishing* a ton but I'd love to hear more from readers! if you're following lots of pubs, using our feeds, quoting & commenting & excited for other social features…what would improve Leaflet most for you?

Reich understands the problem. His call to action is limited to just “fund independent news media”. While a good cta, what if we got major politicians excited about the open social web? We are working on the same problems he raises. People like Robert could get us the buy in and support we need rn.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Somehow, somewhere along the way, so many people have become confused to think that the value of knowledge is in producing a product, a knowledge artifact; but the products are merely side-effects that humans generate to demonstrate the work—the work being the place where the real value resides.

Lots of cool integrations & interop & experiments — from other apps rendering leaflet posts to cross-posting and import tools and markdown pipelines, even leaflet as headless CMS for an *atprotated* website :)
