Re "We are the news"
repost from end of bread
What does this mean and how do we respond to it?
My first reaction to this comment by Q, was "Holy crap! this is a big responsibility!" Been thinking about it ever since.
I have a very positive view of QResearch. Don't care at all about the shills, shitposting, porn or bots. That's just part of the scene. What impresses me is the development and refinement I see, even just since I've been here (summer).
Just my opinion, but seems to me like this board is truly becoming more like a professional news-generating resource in previous months. Not in a stuffy, formal sense, but in the sense of anons trying to refine their approach, e.g., to provide moar sauce or include more caps and to encourage others to do the same. Many anons seem happy to increase the usefulness of existing posts, in order to make them more substantive (by adding a cap, additional link, or thoughtful commentary). Particularly helpful for phone-fags could can't easily add extra stuff.
Would be interested in what those anons were were here at the beginning think. How do you think the board has changed? How has it remained the same?
Positive developments
a. more well-organized multi-page posts
b. better formatted reports greater readability (heroic, given the limits of the platform)
c. anons specializing in certain areas thus becoming capable of generating deeper, more well-reasoned posts
d. more referencing of past posts (which can help newfags get up to speed)
e. more retyping of tweets (good because tweets are hard to search on in the archive)
f. some cross-referencing of related posts
g. more collecting of specialized material (with special interest threads)
The challenge of collaboration
One anon asked how we could better communicate/work together last night. (One disadvantage of anonymity.) Possible though if people "meet" at certain times. Or use specialized threads as meeting places, because there are fewer anons. Other ideas?
One last thing: I'm a big fan of the board as it is. Free speech zone, multiple approaches, great stuff. The idea isn't to "reform" the board but to open new doors, see what else might be possible.
