If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:

1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);

2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.

"Subtlety is not the strength of Russian internet propaganda. The current waves of videos being mass-distributed on social media from X to TikTok all follow the same simple principle. They all have the same transparent thrust."

EN: Just as relevant today as it was last Sunday: In Hungary, the leading figure among right-wing authoritarian, pro-Russian actors—from the AfD to MAGA—could lose an election tomorrow. Pro-Orbán propaganda from Russia shows how the U.S. and Moscow are acting in unison.

Conspiracy theories are nothing new, but digital platforms have transformed their scale, speed and influence. They are now a major part of the disinformation ecosystem, shaping public debate and eroding trust.

This latest paper explores what drives conspiracy theories, how they spread online and the real impact they have on societies, institutions and democratic resilience.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

Teaser:
A #Plushtodon Posse, all recent immigrants to Canada, are hanging out in a beach area in Ontario. It's not quite speedo weather yet (they are European after all) so they are catching up on their reading. They're also helping out with house sitting chores but with adult supervision because of their height and lack of thumbs. Soon they will be moving to new deserving homes in the #MastodonCanada community, along with their favourite reading material.

Oh no! Can someone attending the event inform about the #LeaveX campaign?

Unfortunately, we didn't know about it until today.

Cher Président Macron, pourquoi êtes-vous encore sur X et toujours pas présent sur le Fediverse ? Quittez X et laissez le aux trolls et aux extrémistes. Rejoignez nous sur le Fedivers, le réseau social européen, souverain et démocratique.
