Journalism coops give me — and most of the journalists I know — a lot of hope for the industry. But I've been curious: What's it like to actually work at one? I spent the last few months talking to a bunch of brilliant worker-owners to find out. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/jour...

Journalism coops seem utopian. What’s it like working in one?

Each square tile contains a stylized flower in different shapes and colors, with a username beneath it.

Trust is multi-layered. To trust a claim, you must be able to trust the chain that relayed it (cryptography helps, but isn't enough), AND the originating institution. When claims are AI-generated, who do we trust? Our new piece argues that trust in AI providers equals trust in incentives and values.

This isn’t true, we’re fully compatible with atproto moderation and have internal tools to flag unexpectedly popular streams. “Streamplace doesn’t have moderation” would be the worst possible meme to come out of today.

If you are Canadian media, public figure or politician, I need you to read this article by @laurenshof.online "You cannot out-compete ‘where the ruling faction radicalizes and coordinates’" connectedplaces.online/reports/a-po...

Screenshot of part of the article.

Highlight:

You cannot out-compete ‘where the ruling faction radicalizes and coordinates’ by having better moderation policies or algorithmic choice. X is not a platform problem anymore, it is a power problem, and building a different platform does not solve the power problem.

Rest of the text:

Other countries will need to leave the platform to untangle themselves from this dependency, and reduce its legitimacy. But the functioning of the neo-royalty is such that other governments taking actions against X will be taken as an offensive action by the US regime, that will likely trigger extensive retaliation. No country seems to be willing to be the first one to move to take action and thus take the brunt of the counter-offense of the regime.

We’re now at a strange stand-off, where it is extremely clear it is unacceptable what X is doing, and governments make a lot of noise about how upset they are, without daring to pull the trigger on taking action. Everyone is waiting on everyone else to take the first move.

This leads to three possible outcomes:

no government dares to take action, and they keep to calling things “completely unacceptable” while accepting the actual situation. Things stay as they currently are, and the world keeps sliding into a more dangerous and harmful place.
One government takes action against X, and the US regime retaliates so hard that no other government will dare to do meaningful enforcement against the massive harms created by X.
One government takes enforcement action against X, creating a permission structure for other governments to also take actions.

Streamplace @stream.place · 27/10/2025

Also, a documentation drop: if you want a deep dive into how Streamplace's C2PA segment signing and metadata actually work, @makeworld.space has you covered! stream.place/docs/video-m...

Introduction
Every stream on Streamplace is cryptographically bound with metadata that captures details about how the stream should be viewed, used, distributed, and monetized. This metadata also identifies the provenance of the stream, including who the creator is and any transformations it has undergone. Any Streamplace node operator can inspect the stream and verify that this metadata is intact and trustworthy.

This means that even when Streamplace video is downloaded or redistributed, it can still be provably linked back to the original streamer, as long as metadata wasn’t stripped. This is a powerful property that allows for sourcing, fact-checking, remixing, and more, all with attribution built-in.

The technical standard Streamplace has adopted for this is the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). The benefit of adhering to a standard is that it’s a well-vetted specification developed by many organizations in the digital media space, which means Streamplace doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel. It also provides interoperability as more companies, devices, and software ecosystems adopt the same standard.
