As early as 2 years ago, many people in #Germany and #Europe felt that #BigTech ’s internet platforms did not live up to the claim of being #socialmedia. Many were appalled by the #hatespeech, #incitement, #cyberbullying, and #disinformation being spread there.
Our action alliance first reached out to #universities to propose withdrawing from #X and adopting #Mastodon. We believe the #Fediverse platforms are much better suited for #SciComm or, more broadly, for substantive discourse aimed at protecting and preserving our #democracy. Other initiatives have since emerged, such as #ByeByeElon, #HelloQuitX, #LeaveX, and #SaveSocial.
We’ve already seen some initial success: around 150 #academic institutions in Germany are active on Mastodon and have +157k followers there

We believe this is an approach we can also recommend to the #research and #academic communities in the #US to fend off attacks from #autocrats .
Seriously THIS #AIslop should be illegal for being not just #WastefulComputing but #waste #Storage and waste of #Traffic ...

I wish someone were to make an #AIslop #Filter #AddOn that allows people to cross-check and report "#AI" #slop content and either avoid it entirely or at least be warned of it?
Cuz it's really annoying to see this: #FloodingWithShit...

@[email protected] Das Problem ist ja mensch kann noch so oft nen Kanal melden oder blockieren und sich auch nen Account anlegen, aber das ändert nichts an der Flut an #AIslop... - #WasFehlt ist sowas wie *"#ShinigamiEyes für "#KI"-Müll*... https://shinigami-eyes.github.io

The same "concerns," at opposite end of the earth - who could have thunk?

Among the initial arrivals of Russian operatives in #Angola in 2024was Maxim #Shugalei, a prominent #Wagner-linked political operative sanctioned by the European Union (EU) for overseeing #disinformation campaigns.
I’ve been watching ‘The Matter of Facts’ #ABC series with #HamishMcDonald and found it very interesting. In this age of #AISlop and #AIFakes, disinformation warfare and addiction to social media, it is a potent reminder that we are not helpless. We can stop the #TechBros from #algorithmically anialating our ability to discern fact from falacy.
I particularly liked the take on Taiwan where the #Tech is being used against #GenAISlop and #DisInformation to strengthen democracy.
Enjoyable series to watch, waiting for forthcoming episodes.
