Timothee Chalamet has upset opera and ballet fans after saying that artists want to "keep this thing alive" even though "no one cares" about it anymore. Here's @Variety's story on the comments, which were made at a town-hall event during a conversation about releasing movies in theaters. We want to know: Does he have a point? Are these dying arts?

Dear French-speaking Fedi friends,

I have a favor to ask you:

Could you please complete this survey by @cercle - the test fediverse instance set up by the French Ministry of Culture?

🔗 : framaforms.org/mastodonfediver…

It would help them understand what are your wishes and expectations when it comes to fediverse accounts run by cultural institutions.

The survey is totally anonymous and takes a few minutes to fill out.

Thanks!

And please boost 🚀
