Exasperated and disturbed the new IP license in the Mastodon TOS has no termination clause.

mastodon.social/terms-of-servi

Facebook and YouTube have terms saying you can intentionally remove your IP grant by deleting the content. Twitter lets you remove your IP grant by deleting your *accounts*, which is punitive, but possible to exercise (I did). It's very good Mastodon's grant is limited-use—but so was Tumblr, and it eventually abused its. I want Mastodon to be as pro-user as *Facebook and Google*.

@mcc what, if any, instances are out there that have better TOS? I'm with you on deleting my account if there is no way to delete our content

❓ Best / / Online ❓

Is it privnote.com/

I know all have different uses but:

🔴 I'm looking for most temporary / self-destruct options / encrypted in browser

Best so far is:

Surveillance ➡️ Centralisation / Fascism ? ➡️ Less Democracy ? 

What’s the problem jack?

🔴 Surveillance capitalism
🔴 Democratic drift
🔴 Closure to a single vision of society ()
🔴 Centralization of data and attention

:nes_fire: These dominations pose many problems for our freedoms.

The web giants are so powerful that they exercise technical, economic, cultural and political domination over our societies.


When #Framasoft reached the first stretchgoal for #PeerTube I thought "Very nice, those are some much needed features!"

Now, trough the power of our great community, they're almost at 100% funding; way beyond what I thought would be the case 👀 🎊

@davidrevoy of excellent GIF picture animation:

"Here's a timelapse video of an illustration of an underwater landscape with a bunch of cartoon creatures. We can see a bunch of mascots on Peertube, like colored squids and a pinguin who leads a tour for the audience, which is wearing masks and tubas."

#PeerTube #Framasoft #krita

With #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc developments we aim to instigate a new modern foundation for secure E-Mail and a resilient Web without platforms. We are building a kind of #minecraft system for modern decentralized messaging.

But who are we building it for?

For all who need reliable trustable means of modern private communication.

While our work needs hackers and experts it's not designed for them. @tante raises interesting and important related thoughts tante.cc/2025/03/03/who-is-fre

@Tutanota I liked this version as one big graphic (see attached) which occupies the screen better vertically in Mastodon etc.

How is Bitcoin consuming energy (in more detail please)... 

@gerrymcgovern I would have liked this post to say the "how" it's wasted more technically - so those examples it's compared to doesn't seem disconnected (like comparing it to 2.14 iPhones is quiet poor / distant)

Water was a better comparison but "how" is important in each transaction and apportioning to time

Because everything consumes AND over time will always get to these numbers (bank coins for example and re-minting them MASSIVE but maybe at the start and then there is their own politics not compared to with who as poor now are not mentioned and hardly any better / fairer / politically or planetary-aligned! I'd say the opposite and even their interest in to confirm that!)

" = "


is not (is a human-thinking realm (interpretation of reality) rather than / )

Banks vs Crypto (both ARE similar ! Neither great !)... 

@profdc9 @alterelefant @gerrymcgovern
Hi, Daniel - are you saying currency itself is not speculated or hoarded ! ❓

And do you think governments / banks are not themselves making decisions - that somehow the creation of money doesn't have "inherent value" (such as being debt-based) or released into circulation *based* on bonds, stock-markets, assets, buy / selling, paying fees for (reducing it's actual worth) ETC!❓

Banks, Crypto all unsustainable? 

@gerrymcgovern

This reply is a bit question but not intended to harm or be fan of anything... just see if you can answer...

❓ Can we agree nothing is totally sustainable (not right now) in the fact one / you / we *have to USE SOMETHING UP* in order to transform or change something else ?

❓ Banks are not sustainable either with their currency - right?

(coins, notes, credit cards, paper bills, slips, shop-front units ! etc)

Just checking base-morality there - with or without topic)

More explained below but those are the basic questions:

Not justifying anything but if you think coins, notes, credit cards etc + banks and people behind them are all great then we have to re-consider that.

On top of just material, is them ( ) funding both sides of war and their own questionable , they are preying on your savings (using them) as we speak to create as debt that doesn't seem to have!

is also a sucking out of all and people's that any didn't need to ask for so highly in return and make people work harder for in etc (and other dangerous power constructs leading to )

What do you think?

prsivnote [dot com] is a potential fake version of privnote (can anyone confirm?):

privnote.com/ is the non-fake version for online notes...

The different/bad URL spelling of original is [dot com] is what I think skims data and bitcoin addresses in the notes much like other websites which you can see more info here:: qoto.org/@freeschool/114722010)

@kravietz for shop's hand-written door sign that says:
