Sami Juvonen@alexlunaview @Remittancegirl This is not true. No decision has been made. Please don’t post disinfo.
Going to mute you now. Don’t need any more deliberate lies in my timeline.

The only way to understand something, at least in my case, is to reconstruct it. And often this involves doing it my own way.
I have a suspicion that idea of "surprise and delight" has poisoned the world of technical comms, especially when it comes to "products" that people depend on, especially when it comes to the infrastructure of people's lives.
There's no world where anyone is delighted if their plumbing, or oven, or cane or wheelchair or elevator or blender or brakes or or or surprises them. None. Consistency and reliability is everything.
The failure mode of "surprise and delight" is "startled and terrified."
william.maggosThe original sin of the fedi is that it started off as mostly a bunch of tight-knit communities that could also talk to each other. Being on a server felt like you found your people. Moderation was strict. This all worked because few people were here.
But today is different. The revolutionary potential here for finally solving the attention control exerted by money over culture, is sadly in conflict with the experience and expectations of the people who made it great. #FediverseHouse #SocialWeb
50501 ChicagoIn light of a recent event we would like to state
We at @50501Chicago and @50501_movement committed to nonviolent resistance. Remember, nonviolent resistance is still resistance.

Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦We’re teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index
https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/
> Currently, we rely on a mix of both Google and Bing libraries to provide you with answers to your searches. Starting in 2025, our new index will be added into the database pool to serve results in both the French and German language. We are starting small and in the home countries of both Qwant and Ecosia respectively.
Good to hear.

What I fear (and start to see) is how anti-Trumpism (which I deem good) extends into anti-Americanism (which I deem bad). This is the protofascist playbook. Don't fall into the trap of demonising all people solely based on where they live. We need to support the resistance against (proto-)fascism everywhere and, IMHO, especially where it (protofascism) is gaining influence. That includes our friends in the US that try to fight too.

SeanBurlington 🌈 🕊️since bird-killing wind turbines seem to be in the news again it's time to share this graph about the things that kills birds
Spolier alert - turbines are so far down this list that this new cycle is clearly not motivated by a love of birds.
