Indymedia contributors have been dropping off for years with the rise of blogging and the adoption of open publishing models by many other news services on the web. Another factor has been the frustration of having your work alongside nonsense and hogwash posts that have no place on a news service but get left up due to lack of decent moderation.

Indymedia spys on you? Don't talk daft! Indymedia does even store IP records in it's logs.

Concerned about spying? look at google.

Concerned about lack of quality contributors on indy? look at your own posts!
