Why Indymedia is such a fucking joke nowadays. How does it feel to waste your time on a 'political ' project that nearly everyone in the movement laughs at?

Part of the reason for the decline here and probably a factor on why so much of the preperation for the G8 protests were done using other media is because of the attitude you see displayed here by 'ftp'. The 'we know best, if you don't like it fuck off' approach to interaction with the very people who provide the stories that Indymedia needs.

For ftp "trolling' has for a long time been an excuse for a multitude of censorship actions, the 'View All Posts' section of the newswire clearly illustrates the massive number of perfectly legitimate posts and comments that are hidden in many cases simply because ftp doesn't like what they say.

The poor organisation around the G8 protests are clear to any of us that were involved with them but because ftp knows some of those who fucked up he will hide any post or comment that is critical of them.


Google trend searches show that Indymedia UK now has the lowest number of regular visitors since 2003 and it is declining month by month. People reporting from G8 in the activist world chose to ignore Indymedia and post their views on other media and frankly if Indymedia can't get posts during a G8 protest week I must wonder why it is here at all.
