Sure you are. Every goddamn thing you write is an essay. Not that you should shift your focus or anything, just saying.

True, I'm verbose for maximum clarity and expression. Perhaps I'm even good at it. But I know I'm not the best researcher and wouldn't know where to begin improving to go above mere skeptic to meet the rigorous levels that should be required for all journalists, not just the counter-narratives under fire. Nor do I really want to commit to learning, like coding. I already have an established (and underutilized) skill set that I aim to utilize once all this platform stuff has momentum.

Perfect example: I showed my IG Pedophocracy articles to someone in our group and she pointed out a glaring oversight. It's not wrong, but it could have been better presented. I can explain if you're interested, but for brevity I'll omit it.

Since each month's paper has many stories, I could post one story a day on SaidIt or whatever.

A+++, or just post the 3 most excellent stories

Yes, whatever. I don't want to spam SaidIt. It's not a thick paper. I'd be surprised if there were 15 articles. They can't all be good. I suspect the publicity would be good for them, and perhaps some folks here or beyond may want to get one delivered. I think they'll be collectable relics one day. But I'm weird and own a BooHoo Bible.

2) I don't want random-anons. Known-anons are welcome. Request, referenced, or invited only (until user-category filters are developed, if ever).

I don't know if this one is do-able. I'll see if Lemmy supports it. Invite or admin created accounts only.

Decentralization priority trumps my STABs avoidance efforts.

3) No sub chaos. I want community discussion on orderly sub development by committee consensus. The hierarchical Wikipedia categories are the best I've seen to emulate if possible.

I don't know if this one is do-able. I'll see if Lemmy supports it, only admins can create subs.

If I'm anal and it bites me in the ass, does that make me an ouroboros?

5 through 10

A perfect example of what I'm not volunteering. These are all hard and require hours of studying the lemmy code and ActivityPub federation* before you can even start.

I expected. That's okay. I was hoping there was a chance maybe something would come up I hadn't considered or something.

At the very least I can still get the old "(I Know Why You're) Semper Fi" video I hacked in Flash

Yes, get everything before it's too late! These incompatibility issues will be even harder on Windows 2050 Profession Shillout Edition Pro V2.

Yes, Flash is retired now too. My old site had a simple Flash animated splash page. I should render that out too. The nice thing about it was that it could be any size and it seamlessly integrated into pages. Plus there was a LOT of interactivity and custom coding stuff that I barely touched. Ironically, the animation tools were very lame. Flash of all trades, master of none.
