The Pixelfed and Loops developer @dansup launched a Kickstarter campaign that might interest you, if you're fed up with tech billionaires deciding what your social media experience is like.

While it is good seeing people abandon #X #Twitter, most of you still use platforms like #Telegram, which is known to be a #privacy hell, same as or worse than #WhatsApp, not secure, and that has been proven to support far-right groups and to censor leftist groups. If you really care about #freedom and privacy, please don't use it. Don't promote it, and especially, don't celebrate quitting X if you do have an active Telegram account, as it is hypocritical.
"Halten staatlich betriebene Accounts jedoch die Qualitätskriterien ein, [..], erweisen sich Plattformen wie X und Facebook gerade nicht als effektive Verbreitungsmedien. [..] Insoweit ist die staatliche Präsenz auf den Plattformen nicht Teil der Lösung gegen die Verbreitung von Populismus und Desinformation, sondern Teil des Problems. Denn sie bedient sich nicht bloß ihrer Reichweite, sondern befördert sie auch."

"On a des doutes sur la pérennité de BlueSky. Pour nous, leur modèle financier, économique, d’actionnariat, ça reste la même chose que ce qu’il y avait avant. Et on pense que les mêmes causes, à terme, créeront les mêmes effets". Dis donc, ce ne serait pas le super @renchap sur @bastamedia pour parler open source et de Mastodon? https://basta.media/mastodon-bien-commun-surtout-vu-environnement-mediatique-politique-quitter-X

Alle #Toots auf meinem #Profil wünschen sich, das #Fediverse zu verlassen, um sich mit ihren Farben in populistische #Bubbles zu schmuggeln.
Sie hoffen auf eure Starthilfe zu #facebook, #X (#twitter), #Instagram usw.
(More coming soon. #NeuHier)

#AddioTwitter
Ho disattivato il mio account su X. Ho scritto e letto su Twitter dal 2009 al 2022, da 2 anni non postavo più e ogni tanto entravo per leggere con un certo senso di colpa. Alcuni account mi mancheranno e sicuramente mi spiacerà non leggere più i post di @orporick, ma adesso per me non è più possibile restare #Twitter #ElonMusk #SocialNetwork @maupao @scuola @informapirata
I just took the speech performed by Trump yesterday as the final reason to uninstall Twitter.
I can't even justify to be there just for reading. This whole situation is so bad and scary and I don't want to be a part of it.
Edit: Fix grammar and spelling
We’ve had actions and evidence for years, but at least now we have visual confirmation:
If you are still on #Twitter, you are on a Nazi site. You support a Nazi site. Full stop
It is no different than the Nazi bar example. Except now the Nazi didn’t just walk into the bar and is allowed to stay, the Nazi *owns the bar*
Leave the fucking Nazi bar. No, your stupid excuse doesn’t matter
France's Le Monde and MediaPart declare they are suspending all activity of their accounts on X.
Ik stopte een jaar geleden met #twitter. Want zoals ik zelf @Trouw schreef: Twitter is geen dorpsplein, hooguit de kroeg op het dorpsplein: https://www.trouw.nl/opinie/twitter-is-geen-dorpsplein-hooguit-de-kroeg-op-het-dorpsplein~b2f1c17f/ Toch heb ik nu pas Mastodon echt omarmd. Waarom? Twijfels. Ga ik voor het bereik van #bluesky of de interoperabiliteit van #mastodon? En hoeveel energie kan en wil ik erin steken? Mijn conclusie: bereik is tijdelijk en een democratisch internet vergt inzet. Dus nu de vraag: wie moét ik hier volgen? #technologie #politiek #democratie
