@rwg @jdp23 @mike Very much agree on the running their own servers - while appreciating Flipboard's promotion of the Fediverse. Flipboard, and Facebook, Twitter etc flatten the name space, removing useful clues for the reader about the real source. If something appears on a monolithic site, which appears to be from something like a source you trust, you could easily be misled. The reader is expected to trust the platform, not the source.

@mike @rwg @jdp23 I see Flipboard and similar as being able to add value as content aggregators, similar to the way the BBC has ‘The Papers‘ articles on its website. Flipboard, by working with publishers, hence filtering out unreliable sources, could give access to a spectrum of views on, say Electric cars.
