#China: "This pattern of deep reluctance to change the status quo, followed by rapid policy changes when Xi himself changes his mind, might continue to drive policy."
From https://twitter.com/tom_kellogg/status/1610364929697013765 :
There is now only one path to power, and it runs thru Xi himself. Factional politics in prior eras meant that mid-level cadres in different parts of the system had at least some chance at advancement to a top job in #Beijing.

“Excellent piece in @thewirechina by @vshih2 on what Xi's 3rd term -- and possible leadership-for-life -- means for cadre promotion and policy innovation (1/x): https://t.co/XzdUm13nE6”

“The fundamental reason for the
study of #group psychology is that no one can give us democracy, we must
learn #democracy. To be a democrat is not to decide on a certain form of human #association, it is to learn how to live with other men.”

You'll have plenty of consultancy work:
1. #GDPR compliance applies to all Web servers.
2. #Mastodon lacks #GDPR compliance by design.

All: Based on my recent poll (https://freeradical.zone/@privacat/109257047057581517), and the fact that these thoughts were going to percolate in my head until I dumped them out on paper, I decided to write a doc on #dataprotection and #privacy considerations for #fediverse #admins and #users. It's mostly modeled after the #GDPR, but many of these considerations apply across other jurisdictions' #privacy laws. Have a look, and I welcome any/all comments, good or bad: https://github.com/clening/MastodonPrivacyGuide/blob/main/README.md#some-parting-thoughts

I’d recommend respecting the #Mastodon devs’ wishing and instead of beating them over the head about their bad decision, reaching out to the #GlitchSoc or #Hometown maintainers. They’re both forks ...

I have a hint that a conversation on the #governance of #Mastodon flavours would be useful. Here is a #longThread 🧶
Let us talk about the struggle between creator and #community. This time we include newly arrived people.
I will propose how to alleviate with shortcuts.
