You seem to link to a lot (subjectively) articles from inkl, do you have a subscription there? If so, do you find it is worth it?

Yep and yep. It’s not perfect by any means but it’s the least bad news app I could find so far. (Given the sewer of available options, that’s high praise.)

Okay, that sounds promising. I've been looking for an affordable and worthwhile news subscription, since most in-depth articles by big news site are sitting behind money.

Currently the Israeli side claims that armed Palestinians in that area reported of shooting down an Israeli soldier.

Would you consider it possible that in the midst of the darkness and chaos, the journalists with their helmets and bullet-proof vests (of different color, but it's dark) were accidentally confused for soldiers?

We were four journalists, we were all wearing vests, all wearing helmets,” Hanaysha said. “The [Israeli] occupation army did not stop firing even after she collapsed. I couldn’t even extend my arm to pull her because of the shots being fired. The army was adamant on shooting to kill.”

boosting this because people always forget about Israel. for some reason they get carte blanche from the US to do what they want.

I wish there was a lightweight Mastodon server that was specifically geared to single person instances.

Do you know of one?

Nope. But if you hear of such an ActivityPub server, please do let me know too. I’d be very interested.

Of course, there is an activitypub plugin for Wordpress, but WP being the bloated mess it is, that may not be everybody's cup of tea.

what's the benefit of gearing an instance for a single person? A social activity feed for one seems counter intuitive unless I'm missing something.

The fediverse is federated so you can speak to anyone on any other instance. An instance of one means that you don’t have to moderate anyone else, just yourself.

Take that as a core tenet and you have the # (which doesn’t have to use ActivityPub but could interoperate with it if desired).

What is the Small Web?

Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about: The Small Web.

basically the idea of a single user instance is trading moderation control for local (instance) interactivity and just planning to federate where you want?

I can understand the appeal in that

don’t you miss the local timeline for discovery and the “community” feeling? I’m new here, so not sure if there are alternatives for that.

Israel is doing very harm to Palestine. They are much worse than Russia.
