We are an informal group of exploited, oppressed, marginalized people acting for a safe/r fediverse. We want the fediverse instances playing their part in defederating what serves as megaphone of kyriarchal contents, and supports policies in that direction. We want to isolate social.byoblu.com (the wannabe Italian Gab) and who federates it.

So at least 500 users are beta testing #TruthSocial.

And yes, if you read this the early testers are exactly who you would expect.

Keep wondering if folks will get access to this pre-launch, like they did the previous two betas. Or if we see any early signs of it attempting to federate.

If anyone finds anything LMK and we'll shout it out.

❀️ We'd like to thank all the #fediverse inhabitants who stood ready to #isolateByoblu without any fuss, understanding the danger of federating with #Byoblu. In particular, we thank who, motivated by International solidarity, overcame language- and culture-specific barriers. Thanks to our sibling campaign @[email protected] et al. #isolateGab that paved the way for such initiatives in the fediverse. Special thanks to @mastohost who deeply studied the case, eventually de-platforming Byoblu. 2/2

πŸ“£ #SocialByoblu shuts down, again, forever. They claim they haven't enough resources to handle moderation and to protect themselves from political exploitation. Suddenly "#freespeech" becomes a burden their € 0.5mln network can't afford, whereas they have always claimed that others should bear the responsibility for their own actions. That is not free speech, that is free-riding others' tools against others' will and safety. 1/2

Hi all: this account is in hybernation after #Gab functionally left the #fediverse, but wanted to wake it from slumber to note that all your work got noticed in a new ISD Report.

"There is precedent for open source communities to push back against those who seek to use their tools to promote hate speech. One such case is Mastodon, an open source social media community which has waged a long-running war of attrition against an influx of far-right users from Gab – a war which, as of December 2020, they appear to have won."

Elise Thomas explains how websites play a central role in the digital presence of many extreme-right organisations and communities.

When we talk about conspiratorialism, we focus (naturally) on the content of the conspiracy. Not only are those stories entertainingly outlandish - they're also the point of contact between conspiracists and the world.

If your mom is shouting about "Hollywood pedos," it's natural that you'll end up discussing the relationship of this belief to observable reality. But while the content of conspiratorial beliefs gets lots of attention, we tend to neglect the *significance* of those beliefs.
