Une pétition circule pour dire non à Chat Control je vous mets le lien en dessous. Protéger les enfants c'est leur excuse pref alors qu'on sait très bien qu'iels en ont rien à faire. Tracer les minorités et opposant.e.s à terme et faciliter les répressions c'est ça le vrai objectif. Faut rien lâcher et réfléchir à comment contrer ça.

I know blind people that willingly don't describe their images on Facebook.

I know blind people, actually, the majority of blind people, that *love* cloud based LLMs and can't stand any critique of the shitty people behind the tool, let alone the companies.

I know blind people that want TTS narrating audiobooks and audio description for everyone instead of humans.

I know blind people that sincerely believe audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting because Braille is better so audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting.

I know blind people that argue against having audio description and against accessibility because we should be fully independent.

Sighted people must understand that in the blind community especially, there's a *LOT* of blind people and even otherwise disabled people that *hate* all this “PC nonsense” PC is political correctness, but they're arguing against their own interests.

It happens in my own gay community too so instead of listening to blind people that hate other blind people, why not listen to a collective of blind people/other disabled people working to better local or digital environments.

I honestly didn't like the Against Access article when it came out, and I certainly don't like this quote being used to argue *against* access/accessibility instead of participating in an ongoing conversation about an optional filter.

Disagree with the filter all you want but *don't use another disabled person's shortsightedness to take away my access.* https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29496#issuecomment-4429977820 #Accessibility #AltText #A11y #Disability #Blind #Mastodon #Fediverse

Want an update on the Weekend at Bernie’s clown show that is W Social? No? Me neither, but here we are…

So before we start, let’s recount the whole dystopian raison d’être of these Davosian clowns: to be a EU®opean “alternative to X” that ­– cue the 1984 theme tune – verifies your identity to ensure that only “real people” are on it (real is what your government says it is).

Now, let’s fast forward to last week, when TikTok set up an account on W Social.

That’s nice, isn’t it? One surveillance capitalist lending their support to another? Kumbaya and all that. The only problem? (spoiler alert), it wasn’t TikTok. (Shocking, I know.)

The account, Identity Verified™ by EU X – sorry, W Social, was a spam account and immediately labelled as such by BlueSky moderators. (Don’t you love a “decentralised” system where a post on an EU server, accessed from another EU server, is moderated by our benevolent Big Brother in Trumpland, by the way? I know it just warms the cockles of my heart. So much sovereignty! But I digress…)

So @_elena calls them out (someone has to while @EUCommission is busy preparing for their honeymoon after expressing their undying devotion to W Social recently on every social platform¹):

https://mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mqob7shxks2t

Anna Zeiter – W CEO, Stanford’s own, and ex-eBay executive (such sovereignty) – replies with this absolute zinger:

> “We are just verifying if some [sic] is a human and at least 18 years old. Users are then free to choose their own user name. This (human) user apparently chose the name TikTok.“ (https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z)

Read that as many times as you like until it really sinks in.

These incompetent clowns (dangerous competent clowns but incompetent clowns nevertheless) make people go through a ridiculous 13-step identity verification stage² and then… umm… you get to choose whatever identity you want.

🤡🤡🤡

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re incompetent. It would be worse if they were competent, given they’re a closed-source venture-capital-funded startup determined to prove your identity.

> “Yes we have a business model, it’s not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money.” – Anna Zeiter³

But, what I want to know is this: Why has @EUCommission embraced a proprietary, closed-source, corporate ghost town with 14,300 accounts, 90% of which have not posted even once (in other words, with only 1,259 accounts that have ever posted)⁴ when there is a thriving non-corporate fediverse with millions of active people on it.

Could it have anything to do with identity verification, surveillance, and control?

And if so, why can’t they even get that right?

Looking forward to seeing how long @EUCommission can drag the corpse of W Social around before people realise it’s dead.

Oh, and how does this make the whole “European alternatives” thing look? Not good. Not because there aren’t excellent European alternatives but because the folks at the commission are either too clueless or too corrupt to recognise and support them.

So, yeah, how’s your Monday going?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@SabiLewSounds/116969598737705921

Hi #Mastodon by grace of my ancestors intervening I was able to gather the $190 that we had raised as a collective and the point system that I didn't understand until today and we booked through Sunday

THAT BEING SAID we only have three days to raise the FULL WEEK, there was a tiny bit left over that I used for a meal for Mom and I

A few contributions came in that will take transfer fees to get in time

Thank you for fighting with me can you please #boost again?

We need to keep fighting

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Toadlyturtle/116973671835298396

Hello #Mastodon no change overnight, lateness is not an option so please uplift my #MutualAidRequest by boosting or making your own post even and if you're able pls contribute

Also look at my cute lil #KofiShop
https://ko-fi.com/sabilewsounds/shop

which would have more available if I had more support to make time and energy to create

757 needed by Sunday July 26th, 2 days away

This might be a selfish request, Im sorry but I hope everybody will show a little kindness.I'm sick with a comeback flu again this time I got no cough but my sorethroat,fever and chills is somehow worst. All I ask is a small help to get some meds & hopefully some food/groceries—
Any small anyone could spare is very much helpful.🫂
paypal: jinnxshinn@gmail.com

Boosts welcome🙏🏻🥺My heartfelt gratitude to y'all.

RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/117078460930346514

I built #FediHood on the #Mastodon API, so you can connect your account with any Mastodon-compatible app, such as #Fedilab.
Fedilab will soon support the extra features at the heart of the project: finding people nearby by city via #OSM, and using #E2EE DMs.

IndieAuthors.social - Mastodon server for independent self-published authors to discuss writing and to support each other. Fans of their work are also welcome.

This server has a post size of up to 1500 characters.
