This is a screenshot of the “Hush Line Library” documentation webpage. The page has a light purple theme and includes a sidebar navigation menu on the left with sections like “Getting Started” and “Using Your Tip Line.” The main content area features a bold “Welcome to Hush Line” heading, followed by a description of Hush Line as an open-source whistleblower management system. Below the text, there is an image of a mobile and desktop interface of the platform, also in a purple color scheme. On the right side, there are links to related topics, and at the bottom, a button indicates that a .onion version is available.

About nonprofits:

▪️ I have tried encouraging NP folks to move to #Mastodon but they usually haven't heard of it.

▪️ Many orgs still host live talks on Meta platforms. 🙄

▪️ Where are other NP folks so we can strategize migration away from toxic social media?

This will not be easy. I can't even find NP folks on here to talk with.

⭐ And: it will be tough for orgs to leave communities they've been building for years.

Tips? Help?

Our era is defined by the rise of #socialmedia and the death of print #journalism

The #newspapers still around have been taken over by vulture #capitalism and the managing #editor offices now shill the #propaganda agenda of #plutocracy

I don't have to describe social media's role in creating our age unless you've been living under a rock

What we need are #nonprofit #news orgs

On #decentralized social #media

Problem is, this is a big ask

But we have to do it

Whistleblowers need a solid strategy when disclosing information. Using official channels rarely brings wanted change, but it's usually where most concerned employees start.

At @hushlineapp, we're working to build a team around someone disclosing information, potentially pairing them with a lawyer, journalist, filmmaker, or a mental health professional, to help to protect the #whistleblower and their interests.

Our top story: Lou Dubose not only edited the Texas Observer but wrote for the publication at a prodigious rate, with a special emphasis on Mexico and Latin America. He was the “the heart of this office” and the publication. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-phones-are-still-ringing/

In “The Interview”: Lou Dubose edited the Observer for longer than anyone before or since. He expanded the publication’s coverage south of the border and later co-authored books with Molly Ivins. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-phones-are-still-ringing/

“When you consider the reduction in the capitol staff of most of the big dailies, who else will write and provide the sort of critical coverage that the Observer does if it disappears? So I really do see a more essential role now. And if there is a change, I think the Observer will have a place in bringing that change about.”
