(4/4) Ironically, Indymedia was mostly replaced by corporate social media platforms. There's a parallel here too, with proprietary academic networking sites like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. In both cases this adds to the information overload and quality control problems. Now this is happening again with LLMs. I suspect that as with replacing social media with social networks like the fediverse, the solution for news and scholarship lies in media built around relationships, not platforms.
