@patricia Weird, I can see replies to this post in a web browser, but not via #LibremSocial (my Mastodon client/network).
#LibremSocial is a fork of Amaroq, which is still shown on joinmastodon.org as an #MastodoniOS option, even though I cannot see it in the App Store. Last updated three years ago and might have been for one instance only? Every time I try to add mastodon.social the whole thing crashes. Pass on this one. 13/n

Hello #Fediverse ! Depuis mon arrivée sur #Mastodon, j'utilise mon navigateur. Mais l'envie me vient d'installer une app client

Question : #Tusky , #Fedilab , #LibremSocial , #Husky ? J'ai l'impression que les différences se trouvent + sous le capot que dans l'expérience utilisateurice. Je me trompe ?

Est-ce qu'un humain (ou un réplicant, jsuis pas raciste) pourrait m'éclairer rapidement si possible pleeease ?

Imotep c'est tout pareil ?
OU
Rien à voir, chacune à sa philosophie ?

@chrichri

You could just switch to a "regular" instance, right? (Nothing should bind you to #libremSocial , or does it? ).

Also, this does not have to be either or - you could run 2 accounts in parallel to try it out....

Pues ahora ando probando #Amaroq porque estaba muy feliz con #LibremSocial hasta hace un par de minutos en que hice un reply a ciegas porque —literal— no veía el texto. El fondo y las letras eran blancas.

Espero que esta sea la definitiva 👌🏻

There has never been a better time to quit Facebook

Forget a black profile picture. If you really support what these protests are about, quit Facebook, and don't look back.

Hey fediverse, any preferences on desktop or mobile mastodon clients? Been using #libremsocial on phone. Wanting to hear about others.

Protecting Children Online?

A critical examination of efforts by social media companies—including Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram—to rein in cyberbullying by young users. High-profile cyberbullying cases often trigger exaggerated public concern about children's use of social media. Large companies like Facebook respond by pointing to their existing anti-bullying mechanisms or coordinate with nongovernmental organizations to organize anti-cyberbullying efforts. Do these attempts at self-regulation work? In this book, Tijana Milosevic examines the effectiveness of efforts by social media companies—including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, and Instagram—to rein in cyberbullying by young users. Milosevic analyzes the anti-bullying policies of fourteen major social media companies, as recorded in companies' corporate documents, draws on interviews with company representatives and e-safety experts, and details the roles of nongovernmental organizations examining their ability to provide critical independent advice. She draws attention to lack of transparency in how companies handle bullying cases, emphasizing the need for a continuous independent evaluation of effectiveness of companies' mechanisms, especially from children's perspective. Milosevic argues that cyberbullying should be viewed in the context of children's rights and as part of the larger social problem of the culture of humiliation.Milosevic looks into five digital bullying cases related to suicides, examining the pressures on the social media companies involved, the nature of the public discussion, and subsequent government regulation that did not necessarily address the problem in a way that benefits children. She emphasizes the need not only for protection but also for participation and empowerment—for finding a way to protect the vulnerable while ensuring the child's right to participate in digital spaces.

"Meet our friends" - give a one-line description?

Purism received a lot of criticism following the launch of Librem One, their bundle of services intended to help people get away from big tech. From what I saw, the discussion on Mastodon was the most intense with many harsh comments and conclusions. In Purism’s community forums, people stayed a bit calmer, but they were still disappointed. There were three major issues, as I understood things: Uncertainty surrounding the launch, was it a crowdfunding campaign or something else? Were the apps ...
