Why the Universityof Groningen Library @Bibliothecaris quit Twitter/X a few weeks ago:

(Update: I previously posted the University quit Twitter/X, but not yet! So far only the Library did)

Take back control of research communication, embrace Mastodon

University of Groningen

The Dutch public broadcast organization NPO ( (like a BBC or PBS) is now running its own mastodon instance with handles on its main domain!

Radio 1: @nporadio1

The instance itself is at https://social.npo.nl/

Nederlandse Publieke Omroep Mastodon

Welkom op de officiΓ«le Mastodon-server van de Nederlandse Publieke Omroep.

Ik vind het pijnlijk en jammer, maar momenteel is het maken en boeken van een internationale treinreis de best denkbare reclame voor vliegen.

Ik stel voor dat X wordt omgedoopt tot 'X (voorheen Twitter)', want zo noemt iedereen het toch al.

Ik raad wel aan om dan nog een tijdje te spreken van 'X (voorheen Twitter) (voorheen X)' om extra duidelijk te zijn. Dit zal dan natuurlijk al snel de nieuwe naam worden in de volksmond, waarna gesproken zal worden van 'X (voorheen Twitter) (voorheen X) (voorheen X (voorheen Twitter))', en met volledige inductie volgt al snel dat het opschrijven van alleen de naam van het medium al zoveel werk is, dat niemand het er nog over wil hebben.

www.xvoorheentwitter.nl (en alle logische opvolgers) kunnen we dan forwarden naar mathstodon.xyz.

Never in my life would I expected a cybersecurity issue (at least not a non-food safety issue) to result in a food recall

OMG who did this? I am crying

Leuk leesvoer:
SP Amersfoort krantje uit April 2004 , een nieuw lid stelt zich voor:

Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

⬇️ What is your age? ⬇️

Less than 18 years old
2.2%
18 to 27 years old
17.3%
28 to 39 years old
35.1%
40 or more years old
45.4%

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
