We updated our essay on revitalizing classified ads in local publications with a software specification in development called flohmarkt that offers an open-source backbone for want ads, as well as a mechanism for running classifieds from neighboring publications.

Thanks @killick @smallcircles for ideas and tip

Is there any #Fediverse or #ActivityPub development underway for classified advertising?

I've proposed reviving #WantAds as a revenue source for #LocalNewsMedia, particularly as online commerce becomes difficult for small business and riskier for customers. See the white paper on TechNewsLit.com: https://technewslit.com/explores/explores20240511.html

The Fediverse seems a good fit for #ClassifiedAds as an open-source backbone and ability to federate into regional networks.

Ideas welcome.

We begin a new essay series on Technology News and Literature, TechNewsLit Explores, which examines the state of today's news and media. Our first entry says conditions are right for classified advertising to make a comeback on local publications.

About a month ago, I photo'd a pileated woodpecker for the first time, in Banneker Park a few miles from our home. Today, I saw one of those critters in our backyard. This is the male of the species, noted by the red stripe near the beak.

Thank you @bosak ... The subjects are veteran politicians who can express themselves. I try to capture their moods when speaking or listening.

Just FYI, I’m retiring from social media this weekend and deleting my accounts.

For those who want to curate their own news, I recommend downloading the AP app to start. It’s getting clogged with ads, alas, but is still a valuable service.

I check the BBC app regularly. I no longer subscribe to The Washington Post or The NY Times (I won’t support some of their opinion writers) but I do check both.

“Good night and good luck!”

Thank you @samlitzinger and best of luck. I heard your voice over CBS radio and followed you and the SamCast here each day.

You represent, as Lincoln said, the better angels of our nature ... and even played one in a radio play ... https://technewslitphoto.smugmug.com/National-Press-Club-events/Its-a-Wonderful-Life/i-wKcfXhp/A

Stay well and keep in touch.

I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

@dansup ... The idea makes sense, if you can keep the price low.

City-sized arenas belong in city centers

The Capitals and the Wizards may not win another championship anytime soon, but they will continue playing their home games where they should: in the downtown arena they've called home since 1997 as first the MCI Center, then the Verizon Center, followed by the resulting nickname of the Phone Booth, and now Capital One Arena. That's the best possible resolution…

@robpegoraro ... A new arena with public funds in Alexandria makes no sense. It's not a depressed area, with plenty of development planned for there. I think it was a negotiating ploy by Ted Lionsis that worked like a charm.
