  1. 🌍🔥 @greenpeace_de is protesting #AWS for being »extremely harmful to the climate or threaten human rights.« greenpeace.social/@greenpeace_

    🗨️⁉️ @signalapp is #centralized on #AWS, so if you'd like to quit #Amazon's #cloud then that means quitting #Signal too.

    🌈🔐 Fortunately there are other options for #libre / #opensource #E2EE #chat, such as the #decentralized #DeltaChat app which (in contrast to #Signal) does NOT ask you for private information, like your #phonenumber.

  6. It is the implementation of #centralized over top greedSploitation #AI that is the #climate problem. The #decentralized #desktop solution I will deliver for nothing costs pennies in electric bill. No climate impact. Your computer has always been on anyway. Booyah! It's here. Needs to be done right.

  8. #MissKittyPolitics Anything not rooted in #human #rights first is bullshit. Somehow you think that your money and reality and morality are somehow tied together. I guess you missed the #gangster takeover as the final result of the #grift called #centralized #banking. That's your Farmville honey. LOL

  14. Alright, it's official, I'm moving over to Mastodon for the most part. Bluesky is only gonna get worse until it becomes the demon it was supposed to slay. I don't loath it for any specific reason, but it's ignorant to think any centralized platform safe from enshittification. I'll continue to like some stuff there and maybe comment on posts, but I won't repost anything to my timeline. I want to de-emphasize Bluesky in my life as much as possible because, excluding Newgrounds, it is the only centralized, closed source social media I still rely on. At least Newgrounds seems to be run competently and has anti-AI policies, as it should, considering it's status as a site for independent artists (*cough cough* DEVIANTART).

  16. I blame possibility for showing us how to fuck up our #reality to the point where we have to #correct course. And we absolutely must do everything we can to #suspend #cancel #culture in all of its forms. So that #centralized platforms will come to #respect this, when we take a stand to #decentralize #authority in all of its forms. Especially due to #weaponization from within and only after verified #improper use has occurred.

  18. #HotTake #2FA #codes #MultiFactor and #2FactorAuthentication centralizes what it is meant to isolate at the #app level.

  20. Here is my #HotTake on this issue. I have noticed that #SocialNetworks offering #decentralization such as #blueSky through #ATProto and #NOSTR as well as #X #Twitter #Threads and #TruthSocial face greater shifts in #geopolitical #change now more so than ever before. Especially as #AgeVerification and #censorship #PayWalls goes live. Which threatens #centralized #ContentPlatforms through #identity and #coding exploits. Making #ActivityPub essential for modern #communication in #2026 effectively.

  21. @LukefromDC @samvarma

    #bluesky feels very #cryptocurrency

    which makes sense since it's run by #crypto bros and funded by #cryptobros

    the way they work is they make exciting starry eyed promises

    people buy into the promises

    and forget the reality

    this is by design:

    a true believer is immune to reality

    the reality is, it's #centralized shit endlessly promising what #mastodon already offers

    #decentralization is always just around the corner, just you wait!

    and wait, and wait, and wait...

  22. TikTok getting MAGA spawns new social media services.

    UpScrolled is apparently built from scratch as a centralized platform, not based on ActivityPub or ATProto. They explicitly state that current decentralized protocols don't deliver what they need for a video-forward app, whatever that means. It's run by Palestinian-Australian developer Issam Hijazi with support from the Tech for Palestine incubator, launched in June 2025. Positioned as an Instagram and TikTok alternative without shadowbanning, with chronological feeds.

    UpScrolled saw a massive surge after TikTok's US ownership restructure in January 2026, when Oracle and other US investors took controlling stake while ByteDance retained only 19.9%. Some users accused TikTok of censoring posts critical of ICE under the new ownership, which drove people to alternatives.

    Monnett is also built from scratch, centralized, with no federation. Run by Monnet Social SA based in Luxembourg, founded in 2024 by a team of European technologists and activists. It's their answer to surveillance capitalism, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany, with user-controlled algorithm sliders and no psychological profiling. Basically the European sovereignty play.

    W is the newest one, announced at Davos just days ago. Another centralized platform built from scratch, run by Anna Zeiter, former eBay chief privacy officer. It's legally a subsidiary of We Don't Have Time, a Swedish climate activist organization backed by IKEA, Volvo, Unilever, WWF, and Salesforce. The advisory board includes former German Vice Chancellor Philipp Rösler and Club of Rome chair Sandrine Dixson-Declève. Requires identity verification with photo and ID to combat bots. European-hosted data only.

    The name of W supposedly stands for "We" with two hidden V's for "Values" and "Verified" - and they cheerfully admit that W coming before X in the alphabet is "a welcome coincidence". Beta in February, public launch late 2026. Zeiter said the platform would already count as a success if "political Brussels" posts on W instead of X.

    So all three are new walled gardens with different policies and ownership, but none contribute to the Fediverse, ActivityPub or ATProto.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Makes me want to shout, "Hey, look here, we're here!". But nobody listens.

  25. Was looking out of curiousity whether Nokia phones today available in my area ( #Tbilisi #GeorgiaCountry ).
    In the process I found that THREE top local shops about gadgets and computers use #CloudFlare . Another example of what happens if you rely on #centralized #BigTech and #Corporations for your website basic #InternetSelfDefence
    This #internet2025 of "big web" become too fragile to be usable.
    This may push more people to avoid such big-tech & look for #SmallWeb #SmallTech for own websites.

  30. @cmthiede @dianea

    it's why we're both on #mastodon

    we need to make of the #fediverse something that challenges #corporate #centralized #socialMedia in terms of influence and size

    i'm not saying that's easy

    i'm not pretending i know how

    all i know is it is needed

    otherwise, we're dealing with billions of people manipulated and signing on to #bigotry and #ignorance to serve the agendas of #plutocracy

    and for those of you saying "i like the fediverse small and fringe"

    i don't

  31. We talk a lot about the #centralized vs #decentralized dichotomy, but what's much more consequential is local vs #cloud computing.

    It's #Nvidia (and #Amazon, #Meta, #Microsoft, #Google ) vs #Apple.

    Not saying Tim Cook is the good guy, but if we never got Apple custom silicon, we'd all be on thin clients that couldn't compute a meal tip without the cloud.

  32. @erikcats

    #bluesky apparently *can* be #decentralized

    someday

    always someday, never today

    miss me with that cult noise of endless hype promise and "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" reality

    bluesky is #centralized #corporate bullshit

    and someday the #cryptoBros who run it and the #crypto bros who fund it will turn it into another #twitter

    in fact, it might be happening right now

    fuck bluesky

  33. @irelephant

    great!

    i love how you repeat the cultish devotion to promise over reality

    truly wonderful

    #bluesky is #centralized. not technologically, but in implementation

    and yet it is your feverish irrational devotion to "maybe someday!" over the simple reality that true #decentralization is already here, for years, on #mastodon/ #fediverse

    "but i got it working!"

    yes, and i implemented #reddit's code and i'm running a clone of reddit so reddit is not centralized! gotcha!

    🤦

    cultists

  34. Everything what is is #centralized will be one day a point of interest for #governments. They will try to own it or at least involve it.

  35. "once you get that hierarchical #centralized economic world, then you can't separate states and markets. They become fused, and governments increasingly use that structure to get at their enemies."

  36. @eblu @Gargron @quillmatiq @jack @laurenshof @jsit @bsky.app

    the misinformation in question is representing #centralized #socialMedia like #bluesky as if it were decentralized

    we all understand the amazing tech that *promises* #decentralization but the *reality* is that it is not

    the #fediverse is genuinely decentralized, and bluesky may one day be decentralized

    but it isn't now

    this upsets people like yourself who view the issue in cultish terms: how dare someone cite reality

  37. I don't hate the idea behind #clippy or #LouisRossmann and his latest activism.

    However, I really don't think its going to do anything. Were all here because we don't trust big tech corpos to give a shit about us.

    So to me the obvious correct answer is to go as scorched earth with it as possible. Remove myself from as many #centralized sites as possible. And hope we all can go back to enjoying a free and open or #decentralized internet.

    Louis has a motivation though. He has a community and an income stream from YouTube and thus needs it to change or at least be more predictable for him. Most of us aren't really doing this for money over here.

    I don't expect a PFP change to mean anything if you're still using the service.

    "I hate this restaurant and I wear my 'I hate Arby's' T-shirt every day when I go back to Arby's for lunch. Just so I can remember why I hate it..."

  38. @quillmatiq still NOT decentralized, still CORPORATE OWNED, still owned by vc crypto techbros.

    thIs TimE wILL Be difFerEnT, right?

    Hardest of passes, thanks, no.
