It’s profitable for big ISPs to put down fiber where high-income users live. The government can and should stop them from discriminating based on income. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/fcc-

A government has to full fill freedom of speech, not a social platform! Any platform can create it's own rules and ban users for not complying as simple as that..

It's not that you don't have "free speech", people/platform just don't wanna listen to your shit if you get banned.

FB hasn't given WhatsApp users an option to refuse data collection since 2016, says @ShiraOvide. So why is everyone reacting now?

"The confusion's the result of FB’s bungled communication, mistrust of the company & U.S.’s broken data-protection laws."

Some in of the nonsense that people come up with to declare something as racist- is as depressing as it is baffling. I'm not saying any recently adapted usage hasn't been with racist intent- but that the initial intent of some things never come close to racism. At what point do we stop surrendering everyday non-racist aspects to the fear of being labeled/branded as racist?

The outside world scares me sometimes- the freedom to be myself is now limited to the walls of my residence.

Now that I find out a edition of the is being released- I wish I could return my edition for the mobian :(

Is Mastodon really decentralized and censorship resistant? what if amazon or any cloud provider decide to go after some or all the instances like it did with parler? i think a master piece is still missing like IPFS or STORJ on blockchain as decentralized storage filesystem, i think also that we should look at some early decentralized application like emails and learn from the mistake's that allowed Google as gmail and MS as hotmail and yahoo to takeover by implementing restriction on who is allowed and not to send emails, now day's even if you implement all the good practice ( domainkey, spf...) you'll still not be allowed to direct message to inbox unless the IP is warmed up for few month's or years or whitelisted explicitly. fighting spam should also be thought in a decentralized way.

To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add to the post.
