Mastodon Blog (Eugen Rochko): My next chapter with Mastodon. “After nearly 10 years, I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon and transferring my ownership of the trademark and other assets to the Mastodon non-profit. Over the course of my time at Mastodon, I have centered myself less and less in our outward communications, and to some degree, this is the culmination of that trend.”

@newyorktimes's veteran tech reporter @Markoff interviewed some of #TeamFediverse including @Gargron, @reckless1280 and our CEO @mike for a feature on the rise of decentralized social media. “It goes back to the original principles where the internet started out as decentralized,” Eugen Rochko told Markoff. Here's the full story [may be paywalled].
We're so excited to develop these conversations further at SXSW this weekend — check out the itinerary and sign up to join us at #FediverseHouse at the second link.

#Meta now permits, on #Threads, #Facebook and #Instagram:
Allegations of #mental #illness or abnormality directed at trans* and homosexual persons
Calling for gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement participation for the same groups, based on religious beliefs
Accusing people of specific ethnicities, e.g. Chinese people, of bearing responsibility for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The "Social Web Foundation" @swf and with it, expressly its founders @evanprodromou, @mallory and @tomcoates still boast, on their website:
»Industry support
The founders are supported by advisors from the social networking world including […]:- Meta«
They choose to stay silent on their Fediverse accounts, so far. The post is still up, on their website.
In a hilarious move away from his drooling #Threads fanboy statements so far, #EugenRochko @Gargron now boosts posts of OTHERS saying »The best time to abandon anything Meta touches was years ago. The second best time is today.«
As predicted, #Rochko, #Prodromou, #Knodel and #Coates were enablers and gate openers for #Meta, while everybody else was crystal clear about the track record of this rotten corporation, and what threat it is to the Fediverse.
These #Fediverse "protagonists", obviously, have a serious integrity problem.

@ddrhazy @elonismus @LALegault
Bad _by_ design, one might be tempted to assume. But, "thanks" to the Eugen of the #Fediverse at least the implementation is more or less on par with that.

Sadly so, but you need to consider that being on your own free island with a bunch of pals (possibly connected to a few similar islands, mountains and deserts) while 7.9 of 8 billion people are stuck in the mainland dictatorship without even realizing it isn't really a solution if you want to change the world for the better. We still need to fight the dictatorship and the (totally not benevolent) dictator!

@elonismus @ddrhazy @LALegault
Many thanks to the three of you for your kindness and replies. It's getting rare that people care (rhyme not intended but I might keep the phrase in mind, anyway).
Since they lack any valid argument all they can do is sabotage the conversation (see image below). Definitely proves my point.
The reasons why I'm replying to this post specifically are:
- All recipients are already in the thread.
- Much more importantly: I don't see @LALegault's reply from this account since aus.social blocks it (which I have already documented above).This means: "my" instance sabotages my communication with people I want to engage with, even though they are supposed to act on behalf of me, not narcissistic Eugen #Rochko and his fascist "moderator" friends (who don't even have the balls to defend their abusive behaviour; like our plain old politicians in our "democratic" dictatorships).
I did not get any notification and I can't read the blocked reply from here. I only saw it by accident and there's no convenient way to reply to it directly.This means: my own instance punishes me (for having the wrong friends?!) because they don't like LALegault (whatever beautiful name you really have). Of course, this hurts everybody, for it's totally impossible to have good exchanges this way. It only serves further silo mentality and digital tribalism; absolutely asocial and inhumane.
Sorry for being repetitive, hazy has already made these basic points.
Imagine, e-mail was like this degenerate "#Fediverse", i.e., what do you think would happen if your mail provider just were to hide mail based on whether he likes the ones communicating or according to his own ideology and agenda. That's where we're at in the "#Fedi".
Maybe we need to go back to mailing lists …
The only possible remedy I see is that enough people speak out and ostracize such behaviour and ban these illiberal people and instances like they would ban any other fascistic groups. As it stands, it will take a very long time for the world to get there, if ever. So much ignorance. Yes, it's a pity, and a real shame for humankind.
As long as people blindly follow Rochko's brand (#Mastodon) instead of living the idea of #decentralization we only got ourselves another really bad #Twitter. I suspect that Eugen, like Elon, is in it for the power and the money, anyway. People are so naive.
Final point: I accidentally included "heatwave" but actually meant so. else; still trying to remember whom. Lucky, I didn't get suspended again for alleged unsolicited messages …

Metas strategische „Öffnung“ ihres Datenbunkers
Auch wenn es unserem Ego weh tut. Wenn ich – nüchtern, was ich in der Sache vielleicht zu selten bin – auf die tatsächlichen Sachverhalte schaue, dann sehe ich keinen Kampf des David „Fediverse“ mit dem Goliath Meta aufziehen. Ich sehe vielmehr, wie der Gigant sich hinter dem David versteckt, um sich vor der Macht der Politik zu schützen.

I find it really telling that, when you look at the #Twitter timelines of these #SocialMedia moguls' (basically #Elon and #Zuckerburg), it's always non-stop rambling about their sites, whatever other stupid thing they're doing with their money now (what they call '''#Entrepreneurship'''), right up to the open fantasies about world domination, but if you go look at @Gargron's #Mastodon profile, it's just like, interesting pictures and tech articles, most of which are boosts of other people, you know, like a NORMAL PERSON.
It's like these #Billionaires just want to flood our lives with garbage, then gloat about how amazing they are for basically putting humanity in a cage so it can dance for their amusement, but Eugen Rochko just wanted to experience social media without the bullshit.
(I also find it telling that #EugenRochko and #Rochko are barely used hashtags compared to #ElonMusk and #MarkZuckerburg: they are very loud morons.)

Risorse informative sul fediverso italiano
La resistenza e l’autodifesa digitale passano anche attraverso la modifica di alcune abitudini, tra cui quella di assaggiare sempre gli stessi sapori dell’universo “social”.
Purtroppo in pochi sanno che oltre lo specchio deformante di Facebook e YouTube, c’è un mondo fatto di relazioni e contenuti digitali non manipolati dalle grandi piattaforme americane…
