Titter in turned, was built on tech created by nostr:npub1eu5yg8uclgwnqgvgxmt59kn674qmws0qsqdl4fdvx480cq7xraaq943nau and co for Indymedia. Our activist news sites were among a handful in the late 90s/ early noughties that pioneered hosting "user-generated content". Or Open Publishing as we called it, riffing on Open Source.

Sometimes I look at the dominant social media landscape and feel ashamed.

But then I remember that the first fediverse apps were in turn inspired by Titter, and the activist software culture Indymedia contributed to, and I feel proud.
