‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’.

An absurdist video urges policymakers and users to resist deliberate deterioration of platforms and devices.

I need your help.

The US midterm elections are under attack. On YouTube, I constantly encounter American AI generated political commentary channels that are picking up followers, and I am convinced the objective is to use these channels to disinform the public in the fall.

Please help by reporting this video as misinformation:

If you are not sure this is AI, notice the way it repeats the same few hand gesture multiple times throughout the video.

Decentralization as a hurdle: Mastodon now offers share button for websites

While share buttons for Mastodon already exist, there isn't an official one. That's now changing, and the microblogging service hopes for more visibility.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Right now it only supports mastodon/gotosocial authentication, so if you have a mastodon or gotosocial account register a new account.

UPDATE: I am doing load testing at this point, if many people sign-up expect some unavailability moments. Thanks for your patience, I want to discover the limits of the stack.
