media literacy begins when you admit that a feed did not inform you. It chose a wound, named it a topic, and taught you to touch it every day. Soon you call the wound-touching “research,” “awareness,” “critique,” “posting.”
This is not a metaphor. Check your tabs.
But the topic has already won. You are no longer reading it. You are composting yourself for it.
The thing you are analyzing may be farming you. #asca
Als Grafikdesigner und Kommunikationsdesigner (und als kroatischer Deutscher in den besten Jahren, lmfao) fürchte ich, dass Kommunikation viel zu oft nicht der Verständigung dient, sondern nur dazu, Stille, Weißraum oder Unsicherheit mit Zeug zu füllen. #asca
I want to take a moment to talk about our social media project, Medienfeed (media feed)—curated and run by the conceptioner Ariane and me! Links to our Medienfeed channels are further down ⬇️
Medienfeed started as an idea during my graphic design studies at DIPLOMA University: a way to always stay up-to-date on what’s being written, published, and created in Germany in media and design—especially by other professionals.
It all began with FreshRSS and a handful of RSS feeds I had collected from scripts and lectures. Today, FreshRSS is still at the heart of Medienfeed, but it’s evolved into a service that publishes content on social media as its “frontend.” What started as just two social media accounts has now grown to five channels.
So what does curating Medienfeed actually look like? Ariane and I manage all the source feeds in the RSS backend. We check if a site fits our content focus and first place it in a kind of “kiddy pool” (FreshRSS waiting list and archive) to make sure the feed works technically—or to tweak it if needed.
Once a feed is ready, we move it into its proper internal category, joining the 100+ sources we now track—mostly from German-language sites.
We post three articles a day to the public Medienfeed channels, Monday through Sunday, no breaks.
Check the list below for all five channels: Threads, Bluesky, TwitterX, Mastodon, and Facebook. There’s something for everyone—follow along and stay informed!
Mir hat heute ein Internet-Guru erklärt, wie Social-Media 2026AD tickt – klang wie direkt aus Cyberpunk, oder, noch treffender, Shadowrun oder Mage: Bevor du etwas Wichtiges postest, musst du dein Konto erst auf Betriebstemperatur bringen, die Maschinengeister zähmen #asca https://t.co/7K3kEcteWe
