"If you understand how digital systems, and notably how recommendation algorithms, work then you understand that there is no limit to how unbalanced the amplification of certain voices and suppression of others can be. You could have 8 billion people on X and only 800 fascists, and yet the fascists would still crowd you out."

Exactly. Posting on a platform with a million accounts doesn't guarantee you a potential audience of a million.

Fascintern Media

We are facing a coordinated international fascist movement that works with explicit backing from Moscow, Washington, and tech monopolies, and is propagating itself through its own media apparatus. Yet people who claim to side with democracy keep doing work to support Fascintern media because they misunderstand how it works. This needs to change.

"When you write for Fascintern media, you are choosing to publish with them. When you post on X you are basically pitching a story to Der Stürmer. You are not speaking to anyone that they don't want you speaking to. You're not being courageous; you're collaborating. You're associating your name with that outlet. And you're making them money."

This pieces clearly articulates thoughts I've been pulling at the edges of for years

Dans la même logique, @robin décrivait hier le numérique comme une infrastructure de pouvoir. Pour le reprendre, argumentait-il, il faut séparer la gestion des fonctionnalités que les BigTech ont concentrées dans leurs mains (pub, recherche, modération, magasins, stockage, carto, etc.)

> Based on conversations I've had with people who still maintain an active presence there (and I'm not counting journalists who don't post but read it for coverage purposes), my conclusion is that non-fascists who stay on X do so for a simple reason: they have a completely faulty understanding of how power works in the digital sphere and operate according to mental models…

Just read "Fascintern Media" by @robin ( https://berjon.com/fascintern-media/ ) and it reminds me of a line in a recent YouTube video about how moderation policies work there

"But the thing I believe, one of the reasons such leaders get support in modern world because we are not allowed to speak about the atrocities and devastation such politics will lead the world into." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzH4GXkQ5uE&t=1494s

Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning.

It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design.

Back the “last migration” from closed platforms to open networks: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bonfire/community?refcode=FVxjqI1kLUOhHXxqyrS6-g
