    PS: here is the link to another thread, where I have published a screenshot of the template I am using to contact those #News outlets that have their accounts on #NewsieSocial.

    I have decided to send e-mails directly to the #News outlets I have been blocked from following on #NewsieSocial. I am asking them to reconsider their server choice and to either migrate to another one with a more transparent moderation or to run their own servers, as done by @themarkup and @TexasObserver. Fingers crossed!

    Congrats on the move.

    The story rings alarm bells with us too.

    We should mention, #newsieSocial is also Man-in-the-Middled by a mega-corporation called #CloudFlare, which unencrypts all traffic in the name of "protecting against bots". Cloud(G)lare alongside (Sc)amazon and Akamai now control every bank and credit union in #Australia (minus two) and do block people from access. The #USA banks that experienced a #bankRun 2022 were MITM'd too.

    Also Kolektiva is Cf.

  5. #Newsie.social has been down for the past 72 hours with only occasional, intermittent #connectivity. It is #unusable at this point. I'm not sure if this toot will even be posted, but it looks like I'm going to have to abandon Newsie for a new host if I want to continue using #Mastodon. It sucks, too, because I've been a monthly contributor with the hopes that they would properly maintain the service and uptime, but that sadly doesn't seem to be the case. I'll be back when I find a new host. 😘

  6. Apparently newsie.social is having funding issues and may have to shutter. Their cost far exceeds their contributions.

    But also, they’re chasing away paying contributors.

    newsie.social is operated by HoneyTree, which appears to be a hosting provider. If they’re messing up something like Mastodon and Fediverse with the tools available to them, how do they expect to operate a hosting provider?

    Some large instances have also blocked newsie for some potential issues.

    This is more of the same pattern of anti-democratic behaviour from Doug Ford, plowing ahead with non-solutions to the housing crisis & the climate crisis by giving mayors powers to override council decisions & encouraging urban sprawl. This, at a time when he and his government should be under investigation for the corruption exposed by the Auditor General. Don’t allow Ford & developers to turn the page on this scandal.

    Colour me shocked. Ford wants every mayor in Ontario to have the power to override a majority of their town/city councils. Throw in some incentives (bribes) and more than one municipality will be willing to rezone and build on greenbelt, farmland, environmentally sensitive areas and maybe provincial parks.

    And I'm not shocked...

    Thanks, Mary.

    BTW not to put too fine a point on it but #newsieSocial is regrettably CloudFlare, which is also 'internet cancer' (the 'c' is CAGEMAFIA).
