    #LetsTalkAbout Threads & Federation
    Regarding the (possibly pointless/not happening) Threads discussion.

    It's ok for users to not federate with Threads.
    It's also ok for users to federate with
    #Threads.
    It's ok for servers to not federate with Threads.
    It's also ok for servers to federate with Threads.
    It's ok to want your corner of the
    #Fediverse to distance from Meta.
    It's also ok to want to pull people out of the microtargeted
    #Meta lies machine to improve society & democracy.
    But...

    What is not ok, is telling people or severs they must completely comply with your personal way of doing things, ordering other people or servers to defer to your decision about what they need to do with regard to Threads.

    Admins will have to take unenviable decisions on how to pilot their servers(ships) based on their, and passengers needs. We need to be extra kind to our volunteer admins & mods at a complex time.

    Users can choose to stay on their ship, board a new ship, or launch their own ship if they want to set the course.

    This is the way.

    #LetsTalkAbout Fediverse Features & Selling Points
    What makes Fedi appeal to potential users?

    Fedi value for ppl to escape their corporate silo media is pretty darn awesome. Fediverse=

    No ads.
    No algorithms.
    No promoted post ranks.
    No centralised conversation control.
    Your timeline properly in your hands.
    You can move between platforms, communicate between platforms, retain your social graph.
    An actual chance to be heard.

    No VCs.
    No CEOs.
    No shareholders.
    No enshittification.
    No corporate profit moves.
    No device / app data harvesting.
    Nobody is microtargeting segments of voters and paying to tell them individually tailored packages of disinfo.
    Best moderation I've seen in 40yrs online.

    In future we may federate to some corporate silo media, so from the safety inside
    #Fediverse, ppl can still talk to family (move them over), follow some key info accounts, even can do select celeb fanboi. But do it all safer, with far better timeline controls & with the Fedi condom over their device, data, feeds and social graph.

    For society as a whole we don't have to accept that:
    1 generation is in
    #Facebook
    1 generation is
    #Twitter
    1 generation is in
    #Instagram
    1 generation is in
    #TikTok
    And none of those silos communicate with each other!

    When instead inside the Fedi, then all current & all the future generations platforms of choice will still be a society together, that can talk & communicate.

  5. #LetsTalkAbout Russia
    A lot of people have expressed the sentiment that they don't understand Russia, particularly recently. It's quite hard to understand it's actions when thinking about it as a unified country.

    Imagine instead that a large number of mafia clans, who often hate each other, populate all the national structures. Government, security services, judiciary, police, armed forces, administration and major businesses.

    Whoever currently has more control of Moscow tends to get the best looting opportunities from Russia as whole. (there are of course all sorts of regional power hierarchies but they sit below). A lot of Russia is heavily subjugated & exploited regions (eg where the cannon fodder for invading Ukraine comes from).

    Russia exploits the nations within it's reach, much the same way Moscow exploits the regions of Russia.

    Periodically Russia covertly or openly invades nations nearby. This is about looting opportunities, but usually presented as about security or ethnic russians. The idea that Moscow cares about the well being of regional ethnic Russians is dark comedy if you look at how Russia is run.

    Putting an Apple store and a BurgerKing in Moscow did not make Russia a democracy. That was a convenient global 'error' of thinking that justified apathy towards Russia while making a nice figleaf for buying oil & gas etc. The fact Russia still has nukes, some of which may still actually work, also explains some of the global looking the other way.

    There are plenty of valid criticisms of other global entities, so let's skip any "but X isn't pure either" whataboutisms please, they can get tedious. This is just about Russia.

    Regardless of other entities, for Russia it's helpful to note just how far corruption & essentially hostile with shifting alliances snake pit of mafia clans penetrate all levels of Russian state structures & major business. This is why you get things like Russian officials assassinating each other, parts of security services going to active war with parts of defense dept,
    #RussiaInvadingItself and so on.

    Achieving any personal power in Russia means 3 things:
    Larger looting opportunities.
    More people to pay off.
    Becoming a bigger target.

    This makes it incredibly hard to achieve stable lasting structures of corruption. Your personal safety is mostly linked to expanding your powerbase until it collapses. This mindset also infects Russian foreign policy.

    Many regions of Russia have some lean toward getting free of Moscow, but it is also often quite intermixed with junior Mafia Clans wanting to expand & get free of tributes to Moscow.

    For the populace, the active destruction of objective truth inside all Russian domestic forms of media (& attempts to do same in all forms of western media they might encounter) leads to widespread apathy towards change or progress. Everything seems either corrupt & dangerous, or going to be corrupted soon anyway. Justice, rule of law, anti-corruption don't exist really as ideals any more for large segments of the populace, they're focused on day to day trying to survive without getting noticed by the mafia clans, or giving up entirely & joining one.

    Many nations around Russia want clear of it's influence in a more traditional seeking independence and self determination sense, for example
    #Ukraine, kicked Russian control out in 2014 through civil protest. #Russia #Russian #RussiaIsCollapsing #Geopolitics #Mafia #OrganisedCrime

  6. #LetsTalkAbout What is that Brexit thing?

    I feel like a short explainer is in order.

    Imagine a future where you live in Florida. Right wing nutjobs are in full control of Florida, for 13 years. They have successfully already pushed through independence by rigging the vote.

    Florida's social systems are collapsing. Prices are deliberately being pushed out of control in Florida by vulture capitalism. Where states around you still pay $400 for energy for example Florida ppl are now paying $4,000. Food prices, essentials, everything is spiralling. Multiple crises are happening across cost-of-living, civil assembly & right to protest, rights in all spheres, safety for minorities, police, judiciary, politics, media, environment, product water air & food safety, healthcare, business, education.

    The country has lost the best position in the worlds best tradeblock. The population have legally lost many rights, the right to leave Florida for a safer, better run state, which kept rights. You used to have the legal right to live in 28states now it's 1. Because of that corrupted vote.

    When you imagine living that dystopian future, the social rifts, the denials, the domestic & foreign consequences, then congratulations, you partially understand
    #Brexit in the #UK.
