    You could very easily parlay this into a small news site with no change to your daily bulletins. You might even be able to make a living off it, or at the very least supplement your income. Worth considering, hmu if you have hosting questions.

    edit: be the leftist version of zerohedge

      I second this.

      Aggregation of information with a methodological emphasis for material accuracy is a godsend.

      I'm really starting to think that construction of anticapitalist wikipedia / anticapitalist twitter / anticapitalist reddit (hexbear!) / etc, all hosted safely (replicate thepiratebay's approach perhaps) is the best near-term goal for leftists who refuse to go outside.

        It would be neat to organize some kind of media front with contributions filtered through hexbear, could run ad revenue back into operating costs.

        edit: leftu.org is available, could be a play on left unity and left university or something

      I used zerohedge as a source for fringe news for years before I looked into its background. Some Bulgarian communist propagandist's fail son built a media empire as a magnet for the US right and right-libertarian fringe (probably as a channel for Kremlin propaganda, honestly). It's useful as an aggregator for fringe economic and geopolitical news as well as a way to keep a bead on right-wing :brainworms:

          Yeah, if he's putting in the effort he might as well go for it. If he attracts a couple other contributors it could be a less liberal Nakedcapitalism

      I'd be down for this. I'd want it to be attached to the Hexbear "brand" in some way if possible, if the admins are okay with that. Hexnews or something, idk, or maybe leftu as you suggested. My main issue with making my own site or blog or whatever is maintaining anonymity, both for me and the people using it.

        With ID protection on the domain registration, registrant identity is hidden from the public record. Throw in free Cloudflare DNS management and it's pretty safe from prying eyes trying to figure out who's running it. It could be as simple as a quick WordPress installation. I'm no web dev but I could toss one together pretty quickly if there's interest, although I have no experience running ads or anything like that.

            :lets-fucking-go: Thoughts on domains? If the mods are interested it could even be a subdomain under hexbear.net, news.hexbear.net or whatever.

              @nat_turner_overdrive and @SeventyTwoTrillion - Hi there! Love the idea of this project and definitely interested. If you want, we could utilize the wiki features in our existing gitea instance. It is a bit more limited than other wiki tools, but its ready to go.

              Example: https://git.chapo.chat/hexbear-collective/lemmy-hexbear/wiki/_pages

              If that sounds good, I can create a new repo specifically for this as a text project and get both of you gitea accounts. Alternatively, if you're more technical, then dm me and we can hash out other details.

                That sounds doable. I'm a fucking moron, though. If we do it via gitea it's gonna take me some time to get less grillbrained on it. A DNS record for the subdomain with a wordpress installation somewhere else would be easier for my limited mammalbrain, but I get that it divides control so I understand if that's not the way forward.

                  no worries. let me run this by folks on our end on the technical side. will get back to you tomorrow at latest.

              @CARCOSA hate to bother you because i think this probably should be directed elsewhere but what's the way to ask the mods about using a hexbear subdomain? Should only require pointing an A record for the subdomain to whatever hosting situation, assuming it's okay to do.

              Sounds good! I'm in the GMT timezone right now so if you get any further info from the admins, I'll be awake in ~8 hours or so. I have all my update posts in a Google Sheets document for now that I could transfer for the sake of having that information.

                Nice, I'll do the thing once we hear back from the mods - if they don't want to do a subdomain, do you want to go forward with like, leftu.org or something else? It can all be moved around wherever when we decide but I'll buy a domain if that's the best route.
