A federated internet archive, I'm wondering whether I should build it myself. With so many journalists being banned for reporting the gaza genocide we need more ways to combat censorship.

Hmm thanks, but yea a word editor would probably be missing a ton of layout and image features. The closest I've found was Scribus but it seems pretty rough.

Yes, I tried Inkscape, but sadly found its UI very unintuitive. Also bc it only works with SVG files, it doesn't properly support CMYK colours.

I know of Krita, but I mostly use Photoshop for image editing, not painting. And it's the one of the three I use the rarest and has the most alternatives, so my main pain points are the other two, as long as the three programs work well together. (Which is another weakness in FLOSS software, they don't tend to come in "suites". Not to say that Adobe apps don't have a ton of little inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies, but at least they can smoothly work with each other's files.)

I hear ya. I have never had good luck with Scribus despite several dedicated tries. Still kind of learning Inkscape; I mentioned Krita instead of GIMP because it has full CMYK support. Depends on what your needs are I guess! 🙂
