And I'm not sure that will change soon.
It's interesting the differences between #Centralised and #Decentralised, even when a centralised app was designed to be against the #censorship of other platforms.
Something about centralised social media draws in the crowds that Fedi has never really done.
But that might not be a problem. Maybe Fedi is just a slower process but more resilient in the end.

"Distributed #solar, #wind and #battery systems, which are harder to hit (ed: for us, it would be by weather / natural hazards), quicker to #repair and less reliant on #imported #fuel [than #centralised #systems], you say?
Rather than many billions (and you KNOW the number will be much higher than this mendacious, corrupt and incompetent Govt is quoting) on a #fossilfuel #import facility? Which may not even be used (and isn't necessary if we sownd the money more wisely)?

I feel like Short-text / Short-reading by people directly undervalues people and longer understanding - it's cutting corners reading only short things and proportionally killing the planet / cutting people who write more off.
That's why I'd like to do audio conversation now... (anytime) so we don't get stuck in the text realm either and just speak lightly in the ethereal / spirit of life.
People are the depth and action of the culture so if text is not deep enough then culture dies. Audio conversation I have can put back the reality into people.
Just sticking to yourself dosn't work. We can solve almost everything as our efforts can double if we are relaxed but do it constantly over tiem... it's OK "it's all political" (!) and our opinions too... so letting go too far into "Politics" of "Leaders" is not the way we want to go... as a #centralised system (of control)
Your decisions can be made and changed doing short depth + short depth (=long!) which can reinforce those bad things less by seeing the depth in tricks (like chess it's "aha! I realise why they made that move now") .
Don't let "Short-ism" make you think it works for you (it's the opposite). Communicate more and build normal people up. - Increase more #sense and #society but socialising incrementally like at a party.

CW: Social media is an "unhealthy online environment... [MP3 Version]
@openrightsgroup MP3 Version
#Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".
The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:
➡️ promote #ragebait :nes_fire: to rake in the money. 💰
Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms#OpenRightsGroup #SocialMedia #Health #BBC #JimKillock
#Decentralised #Platforms / #Decentralisation #Mastodon #Fediverse
#Audio about #Advertising
#BusinessModel of #SocialMedia is #CommercialMy #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -
NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!
We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...
(and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).
Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...
Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)
Such a lack of depth... 📉
Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!
Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).

Sadly most #socialMedia platforms today, which are #centralised, like #Facebook and #Twitter are now indoctrination tools also.
Some like to use the term '#brainwashing', rather than 'indoctrination' however the term brainwashing implies a simple process that works the same way on everyone.
The process is not simple!
It requires a constant bombardment of information, calling to action (#triggering) different people in different ways. As you can imagine, to keep...(6/9)

CW: In which someone's plans involving me were shattered on short notice by blindly expecting me to "do as everyone does anyway". Caution, LONG. You've been warned.
Okay, so I've been invited as a guest on the next episode of @Mal Burns' Inworld Review. I got the invitation in late 2022 already.
The episode was scheduled to be recorded this Sunday with myself or rather my avatar showing up in-world and talking to the hosts and other guests. I was actually looking forward to it. It would have given me the opportunity to talk about legal avatar accessories on the #Hypergrid, ranging from mesh bodies to clothes. Something which most #OpenSimulator users are absolutely certain that it doesn't exist because they've never seen any of it, and because they're being told again and again that it doesn't exist.
So far, so good.
It was just today that Mal sent me an invite to the #Discord channel which would be used for voice.
Instead of asking me early on whether I use Discord or nor or whether I'm okay with using it, both he and Thirza expected me to use it like it's the most normal thing in the world. Because literally everyone uses it.
Because everyone uses this piece of #proprietary, #commercial, #ProfitOriented, #centralised, #NonFree, #ClosedSource #spyware #BinaryBlob created from #VentureCapital. The desktop app. On #Windows, of course. Because literally everyone also uses Windows. Only Windows. Everyone. Okay, except for those who use it on their smartphones.
I've mentioned Windows because the official Discord #Flatpak app for #Linux tends to malfunction. And Discord itself seems to fight tooth and claw against any and all attempts at sandboxing. It does, however, run perfectly well on Windows where it can scan the entire machine for any information of value about the user (and anything can be of value) and phones everything home. And the user gives consent buy installing it, consent that can only be revoked by uninstalling Discord and never using it again.
And now I've mentioned Linux because I'm not typing this on Windows. I'm not typing it on an iOS device either. I'm typing it on #Debian. Which is my main desktop system.
Let me count this up for you: I'm using Linux. I'm using #Firefox, secured and walled-up. I'm running all my machines behind a WRT router with custom firmware. I'm using free, #OpenSource, #decentralised #Hubzilla for social networking. (Yeah, rub your eyes in disbelief, everyone, this didn't come from Mastodon.) My smartphone is devoid of any traces of #GAFAM. It doesn't even run de-Googled Android, it doesn't run iOS or Android or Windows at all. Chat services? #XMPP and #Matrix only, thank you very much, end of discussion. No #WhatsApp, no #Telegram, no #Threema, no #Signal. (I have a dedicated Matrix account for this identity, by the way.)
Oh, and I have never been and will never be in Second Life either. (All those of you who follow me through the #SecondLife hashtag, believing I'm one of you, I wouldn't blame you if you unfollowed me in disappointment upon learning this.) I vastly prefer #OpenSim, and there I try my best at outfitting my avatars only in legal things, preferably under a free license. I'm one of the few who want OpenSim to be free as in freedom. Free as in #CreativeCommons. Not just free as in free beer. And especially not free as in pirated commercial payware unlike, again, "literally everyone."
Okay, few people know this, and few who don't would expect this. Or any of this, for that matter. But for those who do, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I boycott Discord HARD.
Seriously, Discord unites almost everything I hate in a communications service and piles even more to hate on top. "Almost" because it isn't only available for commercial operating systems. There's an official Linux client, even though it only works ever so barely. And it probably only exists so that Discord can also spy on those few who prefer security, privacy and data protection over convenience and "it's what everyone uses." Also, accessing Discord via other means than the official clients will only get your account blocked; it won't have you persecuted by the FBI like a criminal ([laughs in Germany]). Otherwise, it ticks the whole list, and it even manages to expand the list and tick the new points.
Even trying it wouldn't be worth it. Of course, I wouldn't be dumb enough to run the Flatpak on any existing machine.
Imagine I'd set up a Linux VM on one of my machines. Linux VM on Linux host. A VM only for Discord. Which I'd run as Flatpak.
I can see two possibilities which might even intersect.
One, the client won't work anyway because Discord treats the Linux desktop like dirt, plus I'd have walled it up too well. I would have registered a Discord account for nothing, and I'm not sure if you can have it deleted. Not worth it. Who knows what Discord would do with my mail address?
Two, the client breaks out of its Flatpak sandbox, scans the system, discovers that it's running in a VM, breaks out of the VM and scans the host machine. Remember it's closed-source. Unless proven otherwise by thorough source code auditing, this thing could theoretically do anything, and there actually is malware known to break out of Linux virtual machines and target Linux host systems.
Yes, I actually expect the Discord client (remember, the source code is treated as highly classified military intel) to try and access all other computers on my network once it discovers them and scan them, too, regardless of counter-measures ranging from not mounting my network shares to blocking access from the VM to anything else on the network. It could probably do this with ease and unnoticed if its root suid managed to break out of the Flatpak sandbox, then out of the VM, assumed root control over the host system, clandestinely mounted all network drives and #WebDAV, #CalDAV and #CardDAV shares it could possibly find, scanned the hell out of them and phoned everything home to be sold to some advertising company (and given to the #NSA free-of-charge).
Now, if someone suggested I could use the Web client instead, I'd still need an account. And I don't even have a #Google account, nor shall I ever get me one. Remember that my go-to browser is a very walled-up and secured Firefox. I'm pretty sure that it's too secured and too walled-up for the Discord Web app to work. And seriously, Discord is the last thing for which I'd let the guards in Firefox down. No way, no how. That'd be privacy and data protection suicide.
A different browser would make things even worse. Or do you really, seriously, unironically expect me to install #GoogleChrome?! And then run it on default settings with no privacy/security add-ons? Not gonna happen. Ever.
And if you should suggest I could use Windows instead and save me all the trouble, you haven't understood a word.
Seriously, demanding I use Discord is like giving @Juno Rowland something that was clearly stolen from Second Life and demanding she wear it. In public no less. #NotGonnaHappen.
As for my appearance at Inworld Review, I can't see it happen anymore. -

@nemobis Yes, I would be really interested about the all-included numbers. I think as a community we should make sure that whatever replaced #centralised #bigtech platforms isn't worse in terms of #climate impact.

Nothing shows more how #centralised the web has become than one of the major #cloud providers taking a big chunk of your favourite sites with it whenever it has a problem.
Remember when a big selling point of the internet was that a big chunk could be destroyed and most things would just keep running and the damage would be routed around?
I miss that #decentralised internet.

#Mastodon really reminds me of the early days of #netneutrality conversations where, if I recall correctly, internet providers were considering varying internet speeds in favour of the corporations and leaving individual websites with less. Before we know it, #Centralised #socialmedia snuck in, let centralised algorithm control what people see. #Opensource social media is bringing net neutrality back to the people.

“Post” looks like the Burger King that swipes into the place after McDonald’s moved out.
I don’t see a way how they can be different than Twitter, if their platform is centralised, inevitably ending up using the same ad-driven business model.
The way how you structure a platform like this from the start decides over your trajectory. It’s not something you can pivot later on.

I see new Twitter replacements popping up like mushrooms from the ground. All centralised. They have in common that they have no clue how to grow without a financing advertising model.

#CBDC could be #centralised, where transactions are recorded in ledgers managed by central banks that also provide user-facing services; or #decentralised, where a central bank sets rules for settlement of transactions that are then recorded by users or financial intermediaries⬇️

#Australia could show global leadership by not exporting #uranium for harmful, wasteful, unsustainable, costly, #centralised, corrupting #nuclearEnergy. The only benefit one can get from uranium is #chemotherapy treatments.
…but Australians have difficulty grasping good #leadership.
#KevinRudd was the last time Australia had a leader, and look what we let #RupertMurdoch and the #corporateOverlords do to him.

Hearing that #Google went down today warms our cold cold heart.
Knowing that people could not control their home appliances was equally glorious. Highly #centralised monopolies are wrong. Add this to any future Amazon, Facebook and Cloudfare #antitrust procedings.
More stories like this please *wink*

#StreetComplete does sound neat. :PWhere are the photos hosted? Has a decentralised system been constructed for it yet? There was a #centralised service called #Mapillary, we were mildly suspicious of it from the moment we saw it. They subsequently got bought out by #Facebook.
Instinct+1
If its not decentralised yet maybe a #placeDisplay system might be good in #ActivityPub? We'll need to do some research perhaps?

Tariff us, #tariff you.
But could this #AuChina #tradeWar lead to adopting the most destructive, #unsustainable, #unhealthy, peaceThreatening and highly #centralised, #energy of all — #nuclearEnergy?
Given that #China are going #nuclear. Rather than try to #trade with them maybe an #embargo is for the best?
Can #Australia reduce #uranium exports, only enough for #radiationTreatment? Thoughts?

#TorBrowser ergo #Firefox.A big undertaking. Maybe two modes an auto-mode that fetches a list of instances from searx.space. And a manual mode with a button that says Add/remove searx instances?
On Firefox, there is another issue related to #DNSOverHTTPS (#DoH) being sent to a #centralised resolver, #Cloudflare. It can be switched off so…(1/4)

@Mikoto @nitox @jookia The difference is that you can't use the coins, but they don't go away. You don't have to spend them. With #Bitcoin, you have to spend them. If you spend your bitcoins to mine, you will spend the majority on electricity. In a frictionless economy, you'd just break-even.
> You have to #own #real-life #money instead, which is already quite #centralised.
That's a broken argument.
> #anal
That's very mature.

in current #decentralised #distributed net landscape -
how fair is it to point
that infact
the #algorithms are
#centralised. -
a time for a less #centralised wikipedia?

CW: The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON either... it's emotional intelligence & incrementing art of friendship at the same time...
@openrightsgroup @jim GOOD VIDEO...
SHORT VERSION REPLY
The #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON - rather than just develop more tech.
We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people
(and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by tech ).
Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (on any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for that's normal in new relationships / what do if this or that... / how to do it WITH someone there / where to go regularly...
Ok some chat happens... but is that it for Mastodon as a #movement? ❓
Such a lack of depth...Without some training, we're lost / undirected online. Sorry.
And let chat (positive ending / action needed).
===============
LONGER VERSION:
===============Rather than using social media for mostly #hating or fearing things (#Trump #Musk #Bezos #apple #news etc)... build our own society or just increment friendships and trust (must be a way).
Develop better people AT THE SAME TIME. Not just develop tech...
Time to invest in people.
Time invested in people gives back in ways to #community [opportunity, work, listening, tutoring/teaching, other coincidental help / better examples / daily place to go to].Developing people is the solution now we have the #Technology ....
➡️ (i.e. #MASTODON + #JITSI is ENOUGH to heal / speak / listen / send / receive))OR #MASTODON = TEXT / PIC
+ #JITSI = AUDIO / VIDEO
+ #NEXTCLOUD = FILESDevelop caring CIRCLES OF people and everything else will come better with it. Might seem a long investment but we have to do the long work anyway because cutting corners and is cutting ourselves off with #short #textism.
Need to be dedicate to people PERSONAL #CARING IN #CIRCLES.
⭕ ↔️ 🔁The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON and leaving people to their quite poor levels of friendliness and own fear... !
(that's why scratching the surface you can find people are JUST LIKE ON #twitter sometimes once we get deeper in #comments and #suggestions).it's emotional intelligence & incrementing the #art of #friendship and #courage... at the same time as having Mastodon... CIRCLES. ⭕ ↔️ 🔁
( using Jitsi #chat rooms for example https://jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/chatroom12345 )
Building #Emotional #Intelligence + Friendships

@nemobis Yes, I would be really interested about the all-included numbers. I think as a community we should make sure that whatever replaced #centralised #bigtech platforms isn't worse in terms of #climate impact.
