My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing ...).
Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.
Is there a competition for the dumbest hat slogan somewhere?
What I find surprising is that it was decreasing before, what happened in 2018?

On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.
This is not a hidden feature, I think it's designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the "oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of", which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅
If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄
Plus, I don't find slack super competitive in terms of features & usability.
I remember having a much better experience with mattermost.
I like the vanilla experience with no fear of breaking with an update.
Although as I'm still nerdy I do a lot of per-game tweaking for steam input and a few launch scripts for non-steam games. The desktop utility from steamgriddb is also awesome if you manually setup non-steam games.
