A sneak peek into our #ProtocolsForPublishers event in NYC last week

Nieman Lab @niemanlab.org · Aug 26

AFAIK, Bluesky doesn't have fine grain oAuth permissions today, but we'll check to see if that's changed and remove the permissions we don't need. Thanks for using the Directory!

Over the past decade, the number of worker-owned #coops has more than tripled. Most owners are women; nearly half are people of color. They prioritize keeping employees during economic slumps. The highest earners make ~1.5x more than the lowest (typical US CEO earns 344x). (source: @usworker.coop)
