Watch this like a hawk. The result of this battle is going to be massively telling. Not just about Reddit (I personally don’t trust/use it), but about how this fascist regime reacts to resistance from big tech in general. And it will have a far-reaching impact.

Not a fan of X/Twitter but I do find it funny how some people were telling us it’s gospel that X was going to collapse. It’s been a couple of years now and it’s still running fine (unfortunately) #x #twitter #bigsocial

If anyone knows of people/groups that actually care about people, getting people off of #BigSocial, advancing the Open Social Web and making the spaces more accessible, safe and user-friendly let me know.

You’d think people would want to work together to get people off of #BigSocial yet people want to be weird & engage in protocol wars. That lets me know it’s not truly about the public benefit #atproto #activitypub #opensocialweb

I really like to avoid bad faith actors, but this one I will engage. I have seen this account and other advocate for admins to run their instance as they see fit especially when it came to defederating Threads. The people that wanted to connect to Threads users were told they could easily migrate their accounts. Now, here comes this account against admins making decisions since its a situation they’re against. How is the Threads situation any different? Admins are the ones spending the time and money thus they get to make the decisions, those that don’t like it can migrate to another instance and or become admins of their own instance. Users can block the bridgy fed account and block domains. Truly sick of the alarmist inflammatory crap on this space. There’s plenty of spaces and opportunity to ask questions & get proper answers before making an attention-seeking post. Crap like this shows Mastodon and the Fediverse isn’t about quality, quality social content requires actual EQ. The amount of crap, nastiness, lies, etc I see posted in the space shows a significant lack of EQ. Let’s start living up to the “quality” and be a higher standard than what is on #BigSocial I would’ve liked to had a quiet personal conversation about this but seeing as you didn’t attempt to with those involved and got some sick glee out of putting targets on people backs, it was only fair I did this publicly.

It's amazing how many spam or fake accounts there are on major platforms. 🤯

But when regular (business) users want to make small changes to existing accounts they have to jump through so many hoops: from verification txts - even when 2FA or passkeys have been set up - to verification videos. 🫣🤦‍♂️

When we look back at #Meta, #Xitter, #Bytedance, #Google and #Tencent twenty years from now, we'll think of them as we think of #ImperialBrands, #BritishAmerican and #PhilipMorris today.

The social and societal consequences of the dopamine predators won't be forgotten and it won't be forgiven.

We managed to bring #BigTobacco to their knees -- let's do the same to #BigSocial.

We need to ban targeted advertising and behavioral tracking. Put the predators in jail.

Einige kritisieren #Fediverse-Dienste wie #Mastodon dafür, dass sie zu kompliziert seien, oder die User Experience (#UX) nicht an das Erlebnis bei #BigSocial wie X, BlueSky, Threads etc. herankäme.

Ich denke, die Feststellung ist so erst mal richtig, aber wir sollten sie ein wenig einordnen, um auf diesen Einwand mit Argumenten und evtl. auch mit Maßnahmen einzugehen. Ein Thread (1/10)

People had to die for freedom & to legally be seen as equal & as humans. If you think living in digital silos & blocking out everything you disagree with will make the world a better place, I have a planet to sell you. I find the #fediverse to be harmful to progress as people are encouraged to make homes in these siloed echo chambers. It’s also a space that discourages global search, full text search and quote posts : tools that are actively used by Black & Brown folks and activists. These spaces have long been harmful to Black and Brown folks yet the lot of you talk about how much “better, ethical and enjoyable it is. That often tells me a lot about who you all are. Many people in their first hour here have had worse experiences than in a decade plus on #BigSocial If you want this space to be some left-leaning white utopia then fine, but stop advertising it as a space for all and stop attacking spaces like #Bluesky that makes it easier for Black and Brown folks to have a digital experience they are comfortable with. #fediverse #Blackfedi #BlackTwitter #fedi #Twittermigration

Can we please stop acting as if federation is a silver bullet. There’s plenty of issues it in fact makes worse and is ill-equipped for. Humans are very dynamic. Federation is not suited for government at least in the US. The country is already divided, in no world would I ever want blue states and red states to be able to defederate each other. There’s also complex dynamics such as family. You don’t want to be on an instance where your family and friends are blocked from communicating with you. It’s also not a perfect solution to host a family & friend instance as a family member or friend can get your instance defederated and you lose connections. For the masses it would be better if it was a centralised service owned by a nonprofit that got popular. This isn’t to say federation is terrible, it’s just not the magical solution I’ve seen it sold as. PS. Stop telling the lie that users “own” their connections. You no more own it here than on Facebook especially considering on Facebook users are likely to know each other in real life. If someone moves to a server they’re unaware is blocked by a server that the majority of their friends are on, those connections are gone. So much for “ownership” #OpenSocialWeb #Fediverse #NewSocial #BigSocial #BigTech
