  2. Arjen Lubach roept politici en journalisten op om X te verlaten en over te stappen naar open alternatieven zoals Mastodon en Matrix. Waarom? Omdat gesloten platforms als X haaks staan op democratie en transparantie. Tijd voor actie! #OpenSocialMediahttps://os-sci.nl/blog/dutch-blogs-3/reactie-op-arjen-lubach-s-x-roast-182

  3. This is a story of power, plain and simple

    The state of the world, over the last few years, we’ve been watching a familiar story unfold, we’ve seen repeat itself in radical spaces, tech movements, and grassroots networks for decades. It starts in the grassroots with "progressive" #fashernistas (yes, them) pushing themselves into the front to speak for “us.” They talk the talk of decentralisation, care, community, and #FOSS ethics. They wear all the right hashtags: #opensocialmedia, #Fediverse, #commons, #techforgood. But when […]

  4. To anyone that sees this on Canadian Bluesky. 🇨🇦

    You have done the hard part moving from traditional platforms.

    Now choose Canadian. Use Canadian Mastodon and the Fediverse.

  5. Political discourse around social media has become increasingly significant, particularly during the recent presidential transition. Debates about TikTok’s viability, new censorship policies on Meta platforms, and the ongoing turbulence on X underscore the growing importance of decentralized media development. On this month's episode of Looks Like New, we're bringing you a conversation between guest mentors from MEDlab's Open Social Incubator, where community organizers from all over the […]

  8. The chart of the evolution of the gun emoji from the various platforms is interesting. What is less interesting, and more disturbing, is that the bros at X have decided the gun emoji should be more “badass”... and be a gun again.

    Because of course they do.

    And we are left to ask our friends still on that platform: WHY?

  9. Challenges: online governance, trolling, and privacy

    It's interesting and useful to look at the critical issue of online governance, community dynamics, and the problem of #mainstreaming trolling on both the #dotcons and #opensocialmedia platforms like #Mastodon, #Fediverse and the broader #openweb Let's start with mastodon, the complexity of (default) privacy settings leads to public conversations inadvertently shifting into private spaces, this is a UX problem, but it also points to a larger issue with how we handle communication, trust, and […]

  10. For those choosing Bluesky as their next social media platform, what do you think would happen if Elon Musk offered $1B to buy the company?

    Maybe it is a good time to give Mastodon, the Fediverse and truly people powered Open Social Media a harder look.

  11. Para cobrir as muitas, muitas #perguntas e #dúvidas similares de #Brasileiros na #Migração para #Mastodon ... 🇧🇷

    Se você usou, conheceu ou ouviu falar de #IRC or #BBSs (yes, I am OLD), você não terá problemas para entender #Mastodon / #Fediverse.

    Instâncias/servidores independentes, baseadas em um protocolo de software aberto ( #FOSS #OpenSocialMedia #ActivityPub ) conectadas ( "federadas" ) por escolha de comunidades/administradores permitindo usuários a conectarem com outras pessoas e grupos de interesses similares, dividir trabalho/arte/idéias/etc SEM INTERESSES COMERCIAIS além de sua própria produção individual (você é livre para oferecer seus serviços profissionais, SEM SPAM)

    Você pode escolher suaS instânciS (sim, plural) dentro de Mastodon, e estas instâncias sendo conectadas ( #federated ) com outras, usuários nas outras instâncias poderão ver seus posts. Não existe algoritmo, então Boosts de indivíduos são importantes, para disseminar posts. Uso de hashtags ajuda a procurar e achar posts com assuntos que interessam a você.

    Siga gente livremente! É a melhor forma de expandir sua #timeline

    Respeite escolhas dos usuários; ninguém é OBRIGADO a deixar você seguir. Você também tem escolha de ter um perfil aberto ou controlado; diferença sendo quem pode ver o que você post, e sew podem seguir você SEM sua permissão.

    Traga sua contribuição à sopa cultural do Mastodon. Divirta-se! Respeite os usuários, assim como você gostaria destes respeitarem você. Siga regras das instâncias. Não empurre ou tente forçar SUA visão de mundo aos outros, quaisquer que estas sejam. Faça o que você gosta, deixe outros fazerem o que gostam, desde que não prejudique outros, Fácil!

  12. Has there ever been a micro-blogging site that allows you to make a post visible to all *except* individual accounts?

    Like if you were planning a surprise birthday party for your best friend? :)

    Edit: It would be cool if Mastodon allowed this. @Gargron

  13. I was just checking in on my local regional government's use of X/Twitter. It looks like they have removed it from their website and their contacts! 👍acrd.bc.ca (cc: @ZebKing)

    The X account is still valid and they do post there occasionally but it's definitely not a priority.

    They are using their Facebook Page as the only embedded social media on their website and most frequent social activity.. even though if you click on it, Facebook demands that you login.

    Aside: When I searched for the account on Google the first hit that came up is their March 21, 2020 tweet that states "Visitors and Tourists urged not to travel to the West Coast until further notice”. Wow... flashback. #Covid19 #covid19bc

    If I search again, I get different results every time.

    The biggest impediment to moving away from Twitter is that the Emergency services community still use Twitter extensively.

    They need to be shown that their tweets are *not* getting to the people they think they are in addition to being nearly invisible to anyone without a Twitter account!

  15. "I get way more interactions and engagement on my Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter. As small as my Mastodon is, it is #2 in converting people to my other platforms and even sales on my Etsy store, second only to TikTok. I have less than 1000 people following me on Mastodon, I have over 300,000 following me on TikTok.”
