⚠️ ATTENTION #Android USERS ⚠️

Seems that Google is doubling down on their decision to prevent side-loading on Android. On September 2026, they will demand that all software installed on your device must be published by a verified developer.

For the developer it means paying a 100$ fee and sharing their government-issued ID with Google (and/or their verification 3rd party).

Many developers, myself included, make free games, free software, and sometimes legally-gray stuff like emulators, and they either don't want to pay, or share their private info with an untrustworthy partner.

Even if you just raised awareness by talking to your peers or reposting this, it would increase our chances to pressure Google into rolling back their decision that is not motivated by user's safety, but rather their corporate bottom line.

#SpreadTheWord: Im neuen Podcast der @nawg berichten wir in der Episode „Wörter im Wandel“, wie wir der Geschichte von Wörtern auf die Spur kommen und was ein einziges Wort über Macht, Vorurteile und gesellschaftliche Normen verraten kann.

Hier geht’s zur Folge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykpXJgGTWx4

Here's my contribution to #BattleVestThursday

#Boosting is central to #Mastodon. When you #boost others whose ideas align with yours, you place your values into wider timelines. This also encourages others to #boost your posts in return, not as obligation, but as shared interest. Replies are powerful too. A thoughtful reply to a popular post can expose your ideas to many people who would never see your account otherwise.

#SocialMedia #SpreadTheWord

Avoid chasing numbers. The #Fediverse favours connection over reach. When you contribute consistently, engage respectfully, & #boost what matters, your message spreads naturally & followers arrive as a result.

Use #boosts generously. When you #boost others, your account appears in new timelines, & people see what you value. This creates quiet reciprocity & strengthens the network. Replies matter too. Thoughtful replies are often more visible than original posts & show how you engage, not just what you broadcast.

A like lets the original poster know their words landed. A boost carries those words beyond your timeline, sharing them with the wider Fediverse so others can discover, enjoy, & respond. Likes are appreciation. Boosts are circulation. If you value an open, living Fediverse, boost generously.

A "like" is great, but a repost reaches more people! The more we share, the more we break the stigma. Let's flood feeds with naturist positivity! Repost, comment, engage - help make naturism seen & accepted.

Don't just support quietly — spread the word loudly!
