I support Mastodon not because it's perfect, but because it has the right to exist. The Fediverse represents something we almost lost: the idea that social networking can be a protocol, not a product.We've been conditioned to think that "social media" means a single company's timeline, moderated by their trust and safety team, monetized by their ad algorithms. Mastodon breaks that paradigm. It's messy, it's fragmented, it's harder to search—but it's ours.#fediverse
#Fediverse you're so against centralization but you support mastodon.social which has the most users and it assumes to have the right to decide instead of their users which content is deemed worthy and which isn't.If you want to support a truly federated Fediverse you'll mute mastodon.socialIdeally the ability to block or mute instances on an instance level should be removed and only available on a user level.Instance admins have no right to decide on behalf of their users what's allowed to be read and what isn't
Irish Examiner: Government bodies need to get off X, now"Nobody in Ireland should be exposed to hate speech, bullying, or child sexual abuse images on X just to find out if their train is delayed" "... most Government departments continue to use X for their outbound comms with the Irish people, with several, including the HSE, An Garda Síochána and the Department of Transport (via TFI and the TII) providing essential real-time updates via this now-niche third party platform — some exclusively so."https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-41787647.html#Ireland #IE #Mastodaoine #X #SocialMedia
Learning how nodeBB works and have a working instance up. However, trying to follow Lemmy communities to test, or pulling in anything via federation, doesn't seem to work for me. Nothing in logs to suggest anything related to the action of adding/removing group actors from the subscribe list is actually happening. Federation is enabled in settings, canonical URL is correct.Wondering if it's something obvious I'm missing.@julian@activitypub.space @julian@community.nodebb.org #lemmy #nodebb #federation #fediverse
The @dublininquirer crew are looking for help: "Will you help us with a reporting project? We want to test whether an self-checkout service at a Dublin shop is consistently flagging people with darker skin for extra checks. "We're looking for people with all different shades of skin to go in and buy a small item, on us, and let us know if you were flagged for extra checks."To get involved, email lois@dublininquirer.com#Dublin #MastoDaoine #AntiRacism
RE: https://mastodon.ie/@greenparty_ie/116013249032382203Absolutely thrilled to nominate and see my friend Janet Horner selected as our candidate for the upcoming Dublin Central by-election.Janet has worked relentlessly on improving the lives of those not just in her constituency but all of the city especially the marginalised and those who most needed support.She would make a great TD. Looking forward to the campaign trail!#politics #dublin #green #climate
If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost
Blacksky has already built their own ATProto stack that's fully independent from Bluesky. Now Eurosky is making progress as they roll out their own PDS.I see more independent infrastructure springing up on https://atp.fyi/network, including AppViews.For anyone hoping that we'll get another wave of people coming to the fediverse once Bluesky folds/enshittifies, that might not necessarily be the case as people will have more options to stay in the Atmosphere.#fediverse #atmosphere #ATProto #bluesky #SocialMedia
This will be the last #Mastodon post that will be bridged to #Bsky!Choosing another protocol, okay sure we can work with that. But hosting and even verifying criminal orgs like #ICE is just a spit in the faceAlmost everything is PUBLIC on Bsky, It's not a viable decentralized alternative, since hosting it all yourself would bankrupt almost anyoneSo if you want to keep following me, please do join the #Fediverse https://mstdn.social/invite/C3pBKk4YOr better, host your own!https://fediverse.party
We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.#Vivaldi #Fediverse #Mastodon #Twitter #SocialMedia #AI #Meta #Facebook #Instagram https://vivaldi.com/blog/news/vivaldi-social-a-new-mastodon-instance/
