Dein Browser kann Leben retten. Du nutzt ihn für Netflix.

Über Informationsfreiheit als Menschenrecht, die Brutalität digitaler Zensur, und was du heute noch dagegen tun kannst.

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der Information nicht mehr nur Macht ist, sie ist Überleben. Und wer über Information herrscht, herrscht über Realität. Das wissen Diktatoren. Das wissen autoritäre Regime. Das wissen auch einige demokratisch gewählte Regierungen besser, als ihnen lieb sein sollte. Die Frage ist: Wissen wir es auch? [Mehr lesen...]

Ich bringe gerade mein Blog wieder an den Start 😁. Ich hatte es offline genommen, weil mir irgendwie die Ideen für neue Beiträge ausgingen und ich mir da zu viel Druck gemacht habe.

Vor einigen Wochen hab ich hier einen Beitrag gelesen, in dem jemand schrieb, dass es gar nicht so sehr darauf ankommt, ständig Content rauszupumpen. Hauptsache es gäbe noch private Websites, die vielleicht ab und zu aktualisiert werden.
Das hat mir genug Antrieb gegeben, das Blog wieder online zu nehmen.

Ich habe die Domain 19inch.org verwurstet. Unter https://19inch.org ist also ab sofort mein Blog erreichbar.

Aktuell schraube ich noch ein einigen Stellen, aber die Seite ist schon da 😊. Fediverse Integration inklusive 😉

👮🏼‍♀️When you bake a gatekeeper right into your browser…but instead of placing that power in a transparent, representative organization (🌍 UN, W3C, etc.),
you think: “Let’s just leave that to Google Search.” 🙃

👉 Result: open-source projects like Immich get flagged as “dangerous.”

Just watched @mariaressa.bsky.social’s powerful speech on how decentralization of information is essential to preserving democracy and the rule of law. 💡

This is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the future of journalism, free speech, and digital rights:

What stood out to me: Centralized platforms are inherently at odds with democratic values. While Bluesky is a step up from Twitter, the real heroes are those already in the #Fediverse—you’re building the future we need! 👏

Maria’s argument that decentralized, open systems are the only way to safeguard truth feels more urgent than ever. If the internet is controlled by a few corporations, how can we trust the information shaping our democracies?

The #Fediverse—of which #Mastodon is a part—is fully free and open-source, as beautifully explained by @_elena in this video:
🎥 About the Fediverse: https://youtu.be/YRJHIJy5Nno

To those already here: THANK YOU for being part of this movement! 🙌 Now, let’s spread the word—invite others to join the Fediverse. Here are some instances to share:

🔗 https://mstdn.social/invites
🔗 https://mastodon.cloud/invites
🔗 https://mas.to/invites
🔗 https:// (your feddi home) /invites

Remember: Anyone can host their own server—that’s the power of decentralization! It’s resistant to censorship in ways even Bluesky can’t match.

For a deeper dive into how decentralization fights censorship, read Cory Doctorow’s excellent piece:

Maria Ressa’s fight against Duterte’s regime shows change is possible. Her appearance on The Daily Show connects the dots between platform monopolies, misinformation, and democracy’s erosion—and offers hope:

To those already in the Fediverse: You’re the backbone of a free and open internet. What’s one step you’re taking to grow this community? (For me, Using Mastodon nearly dally and it’s sharing technical knowledge with those who need it.)

Let’s keep building a web that’s ours—one that resists tyranny and protects democracy. 💪

The pattern is unmistakable:
Reddit killed third-party apps with API pricing.
Twitter gutted developer access.
Meta continues tightening platform control.

Big Tech's endgame isn't serving users—it's controlling them.

The antidote?

Open source isn't just about free software anymore. It's about digital independence in an era of corporate digital feudalism.
