Social media and society go hand in hand. Right now, both are in turmoil.

That's why we believe that the focus should be on building community. Groups of people who can come together under the shared banner of an interest, a location, or a belief.

Thanks to the power of the open social web, these communities can not only span across the world, but across platforms.

We're giving you the ability to build community here. Stay tuned ๐Ÿ‘€

Thanks for @Snowshadow for reporting it on the fediblock tag but there was mistaken the username is payola2@chinanews.social not payola@chinanews.social

The UK Online Safety Act burdens small sites with duties and penalties that they can't shoulder. They'll shut down instead, stripping us of net plurality.

Thereโ€™s a simple solution:

โœ… Exempt small, safely run blogs, forums and fedi instances
โœ… The government can do this now

The duties start TOMORROW โ€“ Write to your MP โฌ‡๏ธ

Content Warning

Under the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:

โšซ๏ธ Check if they have UK users

โšซ๏ธ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments

โšซ๏ธ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcomโ€™s future directives

Content Warning

When it comes to blogs, Ofcom says one thing, the UK Online Safety Act says another.

This lack of clarity over whether blogs with comments are exempt will push small sites to shut down completely.

We need the UK government to tighten up the definitions and exemptions in the Act.

Something that's been concerning me for a long time is how people don't want to leave social media platforms, even when they turn more toxic. The term these days is "enshittified".

I, for one, really appreciate #Mastodon for allowing one the ability to migrate from one instance to another, thereby not losing one's ever-so-precious "social graph".

Another interesting example of not losing one's "Social Graph" (in a migration from one server to another) is #Deltachat, which uses "AEAP" ("Advanced Email Address Porting").

I think these awesome migration features should be praised more. Taking such control back, over one's social graph is no small victory these days. Such ease of migration is a bulwark against enshittification; it's the easy ability to more elsewhere.

Note: #Buddhism has a comparable tradition of such protection through migration: once monks and nuns gain their "independence", they are much more free to wander from one monastery to the next.

As a follow autistic person, I would give it a tryโ€ฆ but I couldn't find Elon Musk on Mastodonโ€ฆ incidently that happens every time I look for a bad guy :p
If his jet flies near me, I will give it a shot and talk to him. Actually everybody can watch out on: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet Together I am sure we will (eventually) talk sense into him.
Keep fighting with democratic arguments!

A relay may complicate the above picture slightly. But if server Y in the above example is an isolated #GlobalSouth instance, or if it is running software (such as Hubzilla) not based on #ActivityPub, then the relay will most likely not be pulling posts from there, so the example will still hold.

In this context, remember many instances do not add relays because the additional posts pulled in through the relay increase the storage and processing costs.

Generalize mastodon.social in the above example to all mainstream, primarily #GlobalNorth, #Mastodon servers. No user on any of those servers will ever become aware of user Xโ€™s post containing #Namibia, even if some of them consciously search for the term.

๐Ÿงต on how #Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, invisiblize the #GlobalSouth.

I have argued a few times that for all practical purposes, the global south does not exist for Mastodon, and for the rest of the Fediverse. But many people I interact with do not quite understand how this works in practice.

This series of posts is an effort to illustrate that mechanism.

(continues)

Content Warning

Thatโ€™s it, thatโ€™s the mechanism.

Forget #GlobalNorth users, even #GlobalSouth users cannot find fellow users from their regions, or find posts about the global south, even if both exist.

This happens with most global south users, and with an overwhelming majority of the posts on global south topics.

Thatโ€™s how #Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, invisiblize the global south.

You should link all your posts to the #Bluesky versions. We all need to be united to stop this madness. #Bluesky is three times the size of #Mastodon consisting of 90% #Resistance people

New: Fediverse Report #104

In this edition I take a closer look at #mastodon 's announcement to add support for quote posts, and what this means Mastodon's place in the wider network

With other news:
- @swf is now an official W3C member
- @blog , a WordPress plugin for adding ActivityPub support for events, launches as 1.0
- Controversial Lemmy server Hexbear loses control of their domain, leading to a bidding war for thousands of dollars

๐Ÿ“ข (1/3) A quick announcement ๐Ÿ˜Š !

I decided to move servers with this #diningcar account from the big instance "mastodon.social" to "rail.chat".

I did this because, I think the re-centralization is bad. As people join #Mastodon, thereโ€™s a natural tendency to join over-sized servers that donโ€™t fit well with the original design of Mastodon and can lead to problems.

This account is a railway-enthusiastic account. I share pictures from trips with dining cars (mainly from Europe, where I live!)
