Daily random quote out of context from my academic book about Mastodon
However, the conflict over Threads and the #fedipact may cover up the actual objective of Meta: expanding into new markets, including the European Union. By proclaiming its support for ActivityPub, Meta can claim to European regulators that account portability – a key part of Europe’s new Digital Markets Act – is implemented....

What could possibly go wrong?
I haven't read it yet so curious what people think!
Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal broke the story that Meta has been providing an "AI"-based pedophilia simulator, both to adults - interacting with bots who identify as children - and to underage users, who were offered the experience of sexual exploitation by a virtual adult, right from their own home feed. Paywall-free link (CW - disturbing): https://archive.ph/tl1Pw
Needless to say, the Social Web Foundation and SWICG leadership have failed to respond to this news concerning their close partner. Do note that Meta's most forceful advocates on the Fedi have also been among those most insistent on a claimed need to impose algorithmic police-tech on this network - for the sake of the children.
SWF and SWICG leadership will, as in all previous cases, ignore the latest Meta atrocity. But we can expect them to surface soon with an edict that it is imperative for the Fedi to succumb to the new ROOST "trust and safety" surveillance ploy built by the likes of OpenAI and Google, while all the while enabling the internet's most prolific CSAM generator to influence the course of ActivityPub development

FEDIPACT LIST UPDATED!!!
hey so after like nine months of not being able to update it due to depression and big stressful life changes and technical difficulties, the fedipact list has finally been updated!!! it now has NINE HUNDRED SIGNATURES TOTAL!!!!!
🪩
finally managed to get into the responses section on the fedipact cryptpad form that's been all fucked for like ever. downloaded a copy as a CSV
so now i can go thru this like nine month backlog of signatures soonsies and add em to the site
sorry for the huge delay! i was really depressed for a good while during the second half of last year and spent the beginning of this year moving out and living in a motel and all that
and the form was also just straight-up not working for a good while because it had too many signatures. the cryptpad peeps dm'd to say i should remake it because they've added improvements to forms since so i will after i get this all sorted out
I was under the impression is was next to impossible for a fediverse server to change it's domain name?
Have all the Threads follower relationships broken now they've changed theirs?
Won't affect anyone on this server of course, they were already blocked. Now their new domain is blocked too. If they move to yet another domain we'll block that as well.

Meta zmieniła domenę Threads z Threads.net na Threads.com
Kto blokował .net, powinien dodać regułę dla .com
P.S. Meta wprowadziła też reklamy na Threads, więc możecie mówić znajomym, że Fedi to lepsze Threads bez reklam

IMPORTANT FEDIPACT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
THREADS HAS CHANGED DOMAINS TO THREADS.COM!!!!!

zero clue why it was deleted because threads.net already redirects to threads.com as of right now
sooooo yeah!!! new domain to block. check out https://fedipact.online/why if you're wondering why
Fedi admins: "We'll give facebook the benefit of the doubt and federate."
Even Zuckerberg can't explain why people are so naive

Zuckerberg: I don't know why.
Zuckerberg: They "trust me"

Like many others of you on here, I'm just sad and tired of people migrating from Twitter to #Bluesky or #Threads, just to be predictably disappointed. Surprised pikachu face and all that.
Do so many people just lack critical thinking skills? Are they mentally lazy?
Even on the fediverse though, support for the #FediPact isn't exactly strong, with many instances just federating with known bad actors.
Imagine I posted so many WhatsApp statuses, but not even 1 USD from Meta could pay me.
Every piece of my content is mined, and they said Facebook and WhatsApp are not boring, while those social media users, I am one of them.
This is unfair. I'm sad.

policyreview.infoDaily random quote out of context from my academic book about Mastodon
The following is a random quote from my next book, Move Slowly and Build Bridges:
First, it is false to argue that the #fedipact members are against openness. As I have argued across this book, the covenantal fediverse is open to people who want to become members....
Fediverse, can you help? I'm growing weary of constantly fighting this fight in my campaign groups and seeking other effective articles and resources to tackle antifascists' justifications for remaining on Twitter and such because "we must go where people are." You can call it a Nazi bar, but their counter is "a bunch of us are still on there and we aren't Nazis." Sigh.
