@xgranade@wandering.shop Being involved in Anonymous - and encountering journalists' relentless pursuit to locate a non-existent 'leader', flat-out refusing to believe that one didn't exist - has taught me a lot about *why* the media coverage of federated and decentralized systems is always so utterly garbage.
The vast majority of 'journalists' is completely and hopelessly lost if there's no singular "press representative" with a phone number available during all business hours to talk to.
@xgranade@wandering.shop (There were a few journalists which *did* understand the point of the job. Unsurprisingly, they were the ones who got the scoops. They're also the ones still getting the scoops today on more clueful publications like 404 Media...)
