  1. Looks cool. Makes me remind me of the good old days of What.cd :-D

    “ Telling us in a few words about their friends or comrades on our server or how their work relates to the community we are aiming for. “Signups” became actual human connections again, we understood who was joining and because there was a direct line of communication we could add a few remarks about maybe following the account used to send around status messages about the server itself and other onboarding info. For us the workflow is marginally harder than just clicking “yes” or “no” in the admin interface, but generating an invitation link and responding to the email also is not that much work. And at least for me it totally changed my emotional response to this moderation task: It is cool to see interesting people sign up, look at their websites and work. It feels like welcoming a new person to a party and less like fighting away spam bots.

    So for us this new process works well. And I understand that this manual process does not scale up to these massive servers with tens of thousands of users. But maybe that’s a good thing? Maybe that is an indicator that these huge servers are just a bad idea? That we should structure the internet and our platforms around smaller, more connected groups that then connect to others.”

  6. “ Portugal is leading the movement against ‘addictive design’ on digital platforms.

    D3 is the Portuguese association for the defence of digital rights, and a member of EDRI – European Digital Rights, the European network of NGOs dedicated to digital rights and freedoms, which brings together more than 50 other organisations and dozens of observers, and which is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year.

    Leading the European movement against addictive design on social media, D3 has brought four cases before the Portuguese civil courts against the platforms Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, acting as a collective representative of the rights of the Portuguese people.

    The class actions were brought in April and May this year by the law firm Andersen Tax & Legal Iberia, by a team of lawyers led by Dr Miguel Miranda and Dr Efigénia Marabuto Tavares, with the support of academic experts Professor Dr Fabrizio Esposito and Dr Cecília Isola, from the NOVA School of Law.”
