The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent interview with As It Happens, calling on the government to quit using X. I’m attaching a couple of screen shots here; since they are a bit unwieldy for alt text, I’ll attach a link to the full transcript below. #CBC #cdnpoli #Twitter #X #Grok #CSAM #yeg
Have you ever noticed #BigTech "shadow banning" open and free platforms like #mastodon? Billionaires and Oppressive Governments benefit from 3 rich dudes controlling the narrative. Corporate powers will never willingly move to the #fediverse.
If a single Mastodon instance had wide spread #CSAM and non-consensual #AI slop porn like the recent #twitter scandal #Apple and #Google would disable downloads instantly.
An Open Letter to All European Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X/Twitter
Join the call for action against disinformation and biased agendas. Sign the petition if you agree:
P. S. I'm going to change the image of the petition. Suggestions welcome.
#X #EU #Twitter #Musk #disinformation #petition #SocialMedia #decentralization #democracy
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.
Yesterday I disabled my IG account.
My #Twitter account is left untouched and unlogged since it became an X account. Knowing myself, I'll do the same with #Instagram.
The reasons are ethical, political and linked to my personal safety. They let any company, even fraudulent ones, advertise. There's no vetting whatsoever.
Why didn't I delete my accounts? I'm scared of logging in X again.
As for IG I want to burden them with the storing of my data. It may not be much, but it's still money.
La liberté numérique, c'est de pouvoir selon sa volonté, cliquer, supprimer toutes ses créations, et fermer un compte.
C'est de considérer que la plateforme n'est qu'un outil, dont l'usage ne dépend que de notre bon vouloir.
Aucun investissement sentimental, ce qui n'empêche pas d'être prolixe et sincère.
Je suis internaute depuis 1995, ouvert des comptes sur les réseaux sociaux au fur et à mesure de leurs apparitions, et je l'ai ai fermé, sans aucun regret, dès lors qu'ils franchissaient la ligne rouge : me prendre pour un demeuré.
Les copains d'avant, MySpace, Facebook, puis Twitter, Instagram. Tous clos, en ne laissant rien derrière moi.
Ce que je suis n'est pas dans leurs serveurs, ne nourrit pas l'iA.
Ce que je suis ne doit pas faire l'objet d'une transaction, ou d'un élément constitutif d'une ambition idéologique.
Je ne suis pas milliardaire, je n'ai rien à vendre, je ne suis personne, mais c'est moi qui tiens la prise de courant et qui débranche.
He hecho un vídeo sencillito y comprensible (espero) sobre la importancia de salir de #Twitter y también cómo abrirse un #Mastodon intentando eliminar los prejuicios de que "es muy difícil".
Para que lo podáis compartir con vuestros círculos que aún necesiten un empujón.

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.

Periodically, I see people upset that #Bluesky has become the default alternative to #Twitter instead of #Mastodon. So we need to understand why that happened:
I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.
That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?
Obviously, to Mastodon.
But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.
Reading #DonaldTrump's first interview on #FOXNews @ #Twitter since getting back from #China and I won't even bother transcribing and posting any of it
Trump is being "interviewed" by #BrettBaier (think it is) and Trump is utterly incoherent
No big surprise there, I guess...

嗨，各位关注及其跟踪 @board 的 Fedi 友好！
之前俺有谈论关于 X - Twitter 尊重隐私的前端替代品 Nitter 复活
在此又了解到一位互联网用户闲谈 Nitter 复活了，应该其他 X - Twitter 第三方 app 端应该也可以重启了
是的，著名开源的隐私导向 X - Twitter 客户端 Squawker 在 Nitter 复活之后也复活！
Squawker 是基于 Fritter 的衍生分支，采用 Dart 构建

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.

Es ist mir gelungen, fast alle Follower von der alten Instanz zu holen & minütlich kommen neue hinzu.
Bei Accounts, die dialogisch interagieren, folge ich auch immer wieder gerne zurück! Einfach einen konstruktiven Post, dann weiß ich Bescheid.
Dass es auch Leute gibt, die mir "Fallen" stellen wollen, um dann doch zu haten? Geschenkt, das hatte ich schon zu Zeiten von #Twitter erlebt und mich nie silencen lassen... https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/blume-ince-52-gegen-das-silencing-kurdischer-anderer-minderheiten-fuer-eine-neue-dialog-medienkultur/
So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

🆕 blog! “You don't need an API key to archive Twitter Data”
Apparently there's no need for IP laws any more, so here's a way to archive high-fidelity Twitter data without signing up for an expensive API key.
This is perfect for academics wishing to preserve Tweets, journalists wanting to download evidence, or simply embedding content without leaking user data…

#Big_Kudos to 🇦🇺 #Australia protecting INNOCENT HEARTS! BRAVO #AUSSIES!
“This is a global problem and we want young Australians essentially to have a childhood,” #prime_minister #Anthony_Albanese said when introducing the bill last week. “We want #parents to have #peace of #mind.”
The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 sets Australia up as a test case for a growing number of governments which have legislated, or have said they plan to legislate, an age restriction #on_social_media (DAVIDv COMMENT: NOTICE #CENTRALIZED_SOCIAL_MEDIA ONLY NOT THE ENTIRE #WWW INTERNET). Countries including France and some US states have passed laws to restrict access for children without parental permission, but the Australian #ban is #absolute. A full under-14s #ban in #Florida is being #challenged in court on #free_speech_grounds.
IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE YOUR PARENTS ARE YOUR FREE SPEECH! If not a #Jew_Terrorist or #Godless_Pagan_DIRTBAGS.Gov!
DavidV: "This is EXCLUSIVELY A BIGTECH CENTRALIZED SOCIAL NETWORK PROBLEM #NOT A #WWW_INTERNET_PROBLEM!"
“It’s #cart before #horse,” Sunita Bose, managing director of #Digital_Industry Group, which has most #social_media companies as members, told Reuters. “We have the bill but we don’t have guidance from the Australian government around what are the right methods that a whole host of services subject to this law will need to employ.”
