#TikTokBan is all about #Gaza:"A discussion between Blinken and Romney over the weekend included what one critic called an "incredible mask-off moment," with the two officials speaking openly about the US gov longterm attempts to provide PR work for #Israel in defense of its policies in the occupied Palestinian territories—and its push to ban TikTok in order to shut down Americans' access to unfiltered news about the Israeli assault on Gaza."https://www.commondreams.org/news/mitt-romney-tiktok

"When the web – and its #browsers – were a big, contented, diverse, competitive space, it was harder for tech companies to collude to capture standards bodies like the #W3C to secure even more dominance. As the web turned into Tom Eastman's "five giant websites filled with screenshots of text from the other four," that kind of collusion became much easier."#UserAgentshttps://pluralistic.net/2024/05/07/treacherous-computing/

"Yesterday, the fediverse celebrated a victory against a head technology executive working on an “#AIpowered #socialnetwork” who decided to “ingested about 1,120,000 posts from Mastodon”.#maven…a company with an alternative take on social media without likes & followers that just raised $2 millions wanted to join the #fediverse by, in technical terms, adding official #ActivityPub support, much like Meta is doing with Threads."https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-be-a-good-fediverse-citizen/

Although AT is not decentralized.."Both #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol developers are receptive to making the 2 better at communicating with one another, and independent projects like #BridgyFed, #SkyBridge, #RSSParrot and #Mastofeed are already letting users get the best of both worlds.Today a growing number of projects speak both #protocols, along with older ones like RSS."https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/whats-difference-between-mastodon-bluesky-and-threads

"Some instances are already blocking #Threads, and if #Meta becomes too much of a problem, then others would likely do so as well.And while some had predicted that Meta would never actually embrace Threads, it keeps turning on more functionality, bit by bit. The latest functionality is that users on Threads can now see likes and replies from the wider #Fediverse."https://www.techdirt.com/2024/06/27/meta-moves-to-more-directly-connect-to-activitypub-but-is-it-really-open/

"The largest servers are the easiest for nasty billionaires to buy out, which puts the network as a whole at risk. By staying spread out on many servers, you are helping to protect the network from anyone taking it over.#MastodonSocial is by far the largest server now. It’s not a question of absolute numbers but of percentages: if most of the network is on one server, then that server effectively controls the overall network."https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/

@manualdousuario Alô Rodrigo!Ótima sua colocação.Me permita entender que você descreve situações em que os admins não são legais, em contraste com a situação do #mastodondotsocial em que o admin tem sido bem legal — e faz sentido.Mas na perspectiva do ecossistema, entendo que faz sentido promover a saída da grande instância para instâncias menores, até para aprofundar a experiência de gestão da infra — importante para compreender a cultura do Fediverso. Que acha?

#Reddit "…the platform that was once the darling of the internet's cool kids is now facing an existential crisis. It's a feeling that should be familiar to anyone who's watched their favorite punk band sell out and start playing elevator music.You want to look away, but you can't help but wonder: How did we get here?"https://joanwestenberg.com/how-the-internets-front-page-is-eating-itself

My good friend @manualdousuario has a solid case for his rant over #FreeOurFeeds. But given the names involved, I'd slap a question mark on his headline: "$30 million to reinvent the wheel"?That's because I see opportunity for innovative advancements at the protocol level, even dealing with emerging public payment systems like PIX.The wheel is done: #ActivityPub. I am open to hear what those good people can do to help the #opensocial path forward.https://notes.ghed.in/posts/2025/bluesky-free-our-feeds-mastodon/

"#Milei posted on X about the #SLIBRA coin on Friday, which he said would help fund small businesses & start-ups.He shared a link to buy it, causing its price to shoot up. But within a few hours, he deleted his post and the #cryptocurrency nosedived in value, losing investors most of their money.Some opposition members of Congress say they plan to start proceedings to #impeachMilei. Meanwhile, lawyers filed complaints of fraud in #Argentina's criminal court on Sunday."https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp9x9j89evxo

"#Dorsey approved of #Bluesky being formed as a fully independent company in late 2021. All he wanted was a form of #socialmedia that could evade capture or control altogether, be it by advertisers, Wall Street raiders, politicians, or shareholders. A month after #Graber's lawyers signed off on the Bluesky paperwork, Dorsey handed Twitter over to #Agrawal."#CharacterLimit - How #ElonMusk destroyed #Twitter - Bluesky Chapter - PP. 90

Fediverse people, the hot one to listen to this week: @benwhitelaw.bsky.social and @mmasnick.bsky.social on content moderation and internet regulation. Funny talk about the "crazy" idea of deleting all #Facebook users' #socialgraph.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2315966/episodes/16998541

"#Mastodon—built as a #nonprofit and run by independent communities—has essentially made it impossible for itself to fall into the familiar pattern of #socialmedia “enshittifiction".#Bluesky, despite its innovative technology & good intentions, is built on the same #venturecapital-backed foundation.Mastodon–despite being slightly more challenging to get started with–represents our best chance at building a truly #opentownsquare of the internet that benefits everyone."https://phillipjreese.com/the-social-network-that-cant-sell-out-understanding-mastodon-vs-bluesky/

"Younger people will have trouble picturing this, but #Google used to nurture an image of being the “good one” among megacorps; they championed #openstandards (except when they didn’t), supported #opensource projects (until they backstabbed them), and used language that corporate wasn’t supposed to use, like #dontbeEvil (until they,in a true dark comedy move, retracted that motto).I was always an anarchist, abstractly, but in many ways Google was my political awakening."https://wordsmith.social/elilla/deep-in-mordor-where-the-shadows-lie-dystopian-stories-of-my-time-as-a-googler

"#Socialmedia seems to have splintered — much like other aspects of the internet have — into separate #fiefdoms, one (or possibly two) for conservatives and right-wing trolls, and another (or possibly two) for the left. Not to mention private Discord groups and other “dark social.”…the potential for #federation of posts and other content [the Fediverse] is one of the few rays of hope in the current fractured landscape.@mathewi https://mathewingram.com/work/2025/06/18/reports-of-blueskys-death-have-been-greatly-exaggerated/

"#Bluesky's #ToS contain a "binding arbitration" waiver that forces users to surrender the right to sue Bluesky no matter how the company harms them. This is so pro-enshittificatory, it's like a landing strip for the sole use of Enshittification Airlines, which can land a 747 full of enshittfying nonsense on Bluesky's users every 10 minutes, around the clock, without worrying about any legal repercussions."https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/15/dogs-breakfast/

Como bem apresentado pelo Cory @pluralistic a desastrosa política comercial de Trump, que acelera o longo declínio dos EUA como superpotência, é uma #oportunidade para o #Brasil liderar o mundo em 2026 na legalização da #engenhariareversa, e assim quebrar as pernas dos monopólios americanos, o que beneficiaria a todos no mundo — incluindo os próprios americanos.https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/16/k-shaped-recovery/
