Spannend, wie hurtig und auf einmal Social Media fuer die U16 Einschraenken wollen. In einem Land, indem >85% aller 12-Jaehrigen ein haben.

Hier šŸ‘‰ https://share.transistor.fm/s/ec1b73b1 habe ich mich zu den Vorschlaegen ausgelassen, die ueber 25 Jahre nach dem Start der Welle & gut 40 Jahre nach den ersten digitalen Communities kommen.

Was ein Offenbarungseid!

Gerne boosten und mit euren Follower:innen teilen.

Danke fuer euren Support šŸ™

I deleted my account on Jan 31st since I refused to accept their new terms of service. I don't miss it in the slightest and my focus has improved greatly. šŸ‘€ I've been enjoying reading articles again.

It’s officially been over 3 years since I’ve started on Mastodon. Rather then talk about what’s so great I figured I’d just list stuff I haven’t seen:

- I haven’t had any posts from people I don’t follow

- I haven’t been served ads for items I’ve spoke about near my phone or for that matter any ads at all

- I haven’t been served random articles similar to one article I clicked on out of curiosity like two years ago

- I haven’t been asked to upgrade or subscribe to anything

- I haven’t had AI shoved down my throat or have had AI slop dumped on me.

- I do not have bot accounts randomly messaging me

It’s better here and I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere else ..

Blacksky has already built their own ATProto stack that's fully independent from Bluesky.

Now Eurosky is making progress as they roll out their own PDS.

I see more independent infrastructure springing up on https://atp.fyi/network, including AppViews.

For anyone hoping that we'll get another wave of people coming to the fediverse once Bluesky folds/enshittifies, that might not necessarily be the case as people will have more options to stay in the Atmosphere.

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think ā€œlol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPNā€

A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any ā€œhard workā€ (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.

Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.

And the same goes for Chat Control and …

Dump it.

All of it.

I don't care if the rest of your family is on Facebook, and too stubborn/lazy to move elsewhere.

I don't care if your favorite celeb is on Instagram and nowhere else.

I don't give a single rat's fuck if the nice old knitting lady whose TikToks are so wholesome can't be found elsewhere.

The centralized social media sites support the fash, and you are enabling that with your engagement.

"But Mastodon is too hard.." NO. It's called learning something new. That's your convenience addiction talking.

Fucking find your soul and dump them.
