For the past few years, I’ve been running #WeDistribute, a tech blog / news publication dedicated to open source, decentralized social communication systems. It’s evolved from a tiny personal blog to something that kind of resembles a news outlet.

This is a musing on my journey, and my hopes on where I can take this thing.

deadsuperhero · My Hopes for We Distribute - deadsuperheroFor the past few years, I've been running a tech blog focused on the Fediverse. It's evolving into a bonfide news organization.
A small, but hopeful update: #WeDistribute has been going through a lengthy process of becoming a Nonprofit Corporation. The main hurdles are now complete; we just have to tackle the big one!

I am working to establish my long-term hobby into a proper 501c3 Non Profit, with the goal of taking tax-deductible donations, sponsorships, grants, and premium subscription sales to raise funds and pay people: writers, artists, audio engineers, and more.

There's a lot to figure out still, but we're hoping to do a big crowdfunding push soon!

So, we need to have a bit of a talk. Don't worry, it's a good thing.

How should I say this?

Building #WeDistribute and reporting on this space has been a unique and rare privilege. We're reporting on a nascent technology beat, and witnessing it grow and evolve in real-time. Working with @damon and @laurenshof on @decentered and getting to talk to do many incredible people has been validating beyond my wildest dreams.

Hello, #Fediverse! 👋

We're the #Decentered podcast by #WeDistribute. Our goal is to share insight into some of the incredible innovation going on in decentralized social networks today.

We sit down with people building incredible things, and talk about their story, what they're building, and what their visions are.

We Distribute Media has been successfully incorporated as a nonprofit at the state level, but we're still waiting at the federal level. It's a slow process, but I have high hopes.

Once something initial is put into place, we can focus on the next phase: applying for grants, sponsorships, and crowdfunding.

The ultimate goal is to have an entity capable of covering operating costs, and paying writers, an editor, and people to help with A/V production.

All of this is new and scary and exciting, and I have a lot to learn. But for now, the waiting process is painfully slow.
