"Die Reichsbürgerbewegung ist durch die Pandemie zu einer der zentralen rechtsextremen Gefahren für Gewalttaten geworden. Dass ihre fast absurd wirkenden Pläne oft belächelt werden, ist falsch", sagt unser Senior Researcher @MiroD im Interview mit Zeit Online. "Es ist sehr wichtig, dass wir diese Menschen ernst nehmen. Es ist wichtig, ihre Verschwörungserzählungen nicht einfach als wirre Spinnereien abzutun. Wir müssen das zu Ende denken".

@milleridriss @Teri_Kanefield Marktplätze used to be private until cities realize the value of public squares, so I get that. But I don't think ordinary users care about/ want servers.

@milleridriss I don't think this will be a permanent solution, some startup will launch a Twitter clone. It's nice to have a place in the meantime, but I am not planning to figure everything here out

A friendly reminder that in 2019 a large influx of Gab users migrated to #Mastodon

How did Mastodon deal with its #farright problem?

☑️ Responses from individual servers

☑️ Users holding other users to account

☑️ Blocking creates isolation

Mastodon ≠ Twitter

Different missions, business models & resources ➡️ Different platform regulation

How the biggest decentralized social network is dealing with its Nazi problem

Mastodon is a decentralized social network designed to be accessible to anyone. It’s now dealing with the migration of Gab, a social network known for far-right extremism.

In the newest CeMAS report, Jan Rathje and I wrote about the history of militant accelerationism and its activities in Germany. The report is also the start of my new project "Digital Seismograph: Monitoring Terrorism" with more analysis and investigations to follow!

Militant Accelerationism

The CeMAS report "Militant Accelerationism - Origins and Developments in Germany" is both a summary and a reference work for the offline and online activities of militant far-right accelerationists in Germany. After an introduction to the history of international far-right accelerationism, the report provides an overview of the scene and its groups in Germany.
