My life among the normies since the fall of Syria:
"Where are you from?"
"Syria."
"Oh I heard you guys are having democracy now."
"We have un-elected AlQaeda terrorist as a president."
"But he isn't a terrorist anymore right?"
"No he's still a terrorist."

Since billionaire Jeff Yass is in the news for his involvement in #TikTok and #Trump's #TruthSocial, here's our deep-dive look into the #GOP megadonor who avoided $1 billion in #taxes and poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support #election deniers.

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!
We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)
You can also disable Federation support
I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨
Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀
Thanks to Pixelfed, I've made Loops a lot easier to install & manage.
Loops also handles comment threading, mentions, notifications and like/share/reply counters much better.
The upcoming federation PR is my biggest ever, and will bring full ActivityPub federation to Loops 😍
Forcing a Chinese company to sell TikTok won’t solve the biggest problem with #TikTok: the fact that so people get their “#news” from platforms that are designed to hijack attention for commercial gain, not to deliver reliable information.
If China wants information on Americans, it can buy data from companies since there are no effective #privacy laws.
And American-owned Facebook and X have shown themselves to be as bad or worse as TikTok at spreading #misinformation.

Your periodic reminder that #TikTok is co-owned by (and he did the initial funding for #ByteDance) #JeffYass.
Jeff Yass is *the* largest #GOP donor.
Jeff Yass funded a right wing #Israel thinktank to corrupt the judiciary for #Netanyahu.
Jeff Yass was the largest investor in #TrumpMedia (#TruthSocial), they sold recently.
Oh and look at the news today:

(We will be open sourcing the mobile app and backend later this summer)
As the presidential race heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris has announced she has officially joined TikTok, and given a nod to the numerous memes that have been fuelling her campaign online so far.
“I’ve heard that recently I’ve been on the ‘For You’ page, so I thought I would get on here myself,” Harris said in the short first video posted to her TikTok account. Here’s more from @yahoonews.
Happy Friday!
Here is an early look at the Loops web UI that will be launching later this weekend.
Yeah, you won't need an app to use Loops anymore ✨
Geen #Facebook, geen #Instagram, geen #Threads, geen #Twitter/X, geen #Bluesky, geen #Tumblr, geen #TikTok, geen #Snapchat, geen #Pinterest, geen #Redit en alleen #Linkedin en #Mastodon.
En zonder #Google kom je met een Android telefoon niet ver dus helaas die nog even aanhouden.
Helaas nog wel #WhatsApp en daar vanaf gaan is erg lastig. Is mijn ervaring een aantal jaar geleden. Kom maar naar #Signal, zeg ik vaak.

I've curated a solid collection of silly content in the new Surf app beta, creating a feed called "Laughable". With YouTube RSS feeds, I basically recreated my TikTok doomscrolling without ads or tracking.
Interested in joining the beta? Follow the link, then use the code SURFSHARES in the signup form for priority access.

Consider this: The #EU has just won 2 court cases against big tech. Yet these do not get continuous MSM attention. The USA banning #TikTok is wall-to-wall even here in Europe. We need to celebrate our wins more, not obsess about USA (frankly) incompetence.
"**the European Court of Justice gave the Union's regulators two major victories in their ongoing battles with tech giants, judging that #Apple and #Google must pay over €15 billion in total"**

Nope.

"Cute winter boots" is one of the code phrases being used on TikTok to alert people to ICE (U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement) sightings following last week's announcement on the start of mass deportations.

Welcome to Vivaldi Social, Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If you are coming from a place like X, Facebook or TikTok, this place is different. The good thing is that you only see things in your feed from people you follow. The content is shown reverse chronological.
This means that you will likely see a lot less misinformation, hate speech and AI crap.
But if you do not follow anyone, your feed will feel empty. So go ahead and find people and organizations that you like and follow them. Make things interesting. There is a lot of interesting people out there.
The search is great for finding content and who to follow. Hashtags are useful when searching as well.

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.
