Mensen die Musk mijden op Twitter, melden zich op Mastodon

De naam Mastodon gonst de afgelopen dagen over het internet. Het relatief kleine sociale netwerk bestaat al jaren, maar heeft de wind in de zeilen nu Twitter in handen is van Elon Musk.

NU

De beheerder van de populaire instance mastodon.social heeft wat hardware besteld, omdat z’n database server de enorme toestroom niet houdt.

Er zijn echter leveringsproblemen, waardoor mensen op deze instance vertraging of uitval kunnen ervaren.

Dit is dus ook het risico, maar ook de romantiek, van een decentraal netwerk in beheer van liefhebbers.

Maar goed, je bent nu niet meer onderdeel van de polariserende advertentieprofielopbouwende moneymaking algoritmes van miljardenbedrijven ;-)

If I could share one thing that can make or break your experience here it is this: curiosity

This place will not tell you what to like, what to think, or trick you into participating. You have to be curious about things as a result

You have to click on profiles, followers, & hashtags. You have to respond to toots. You're helping build a community!

By the same token, inspire curiosity in others by complimenting others, boosting what you like, tooting on #FollowFriday

Rewards await

#feditips

But it did remind of a particular service that uses end-to-end encryption and therefore can't read your messages: Signal. If you are concerned about true privacy, good service to use. Also, their take on it entertains me:

https://signal.org/bigbrother/cd-california-grand-jury/

Grand jury subpoena for Signal user data, Central District of California (again!)

Signal still knows nothing about you, but inexplicably the government continues to ask.

Signal Messenger

Toots about "instance admins can read your DMs" have been going around. This is true and you should be aware of it!

You should also be aware that it's true of social media and email services broadly: the companies that run the service store your messages and can read them.

@blender this was a great session to put together - and a really amazing amount of interest from the community! Hoping many more join the #b3d #animation & #rigging module on blender.chat: https://blender.chat/channel/animation-module

The quiet after #bcon22 is soothing 🤗
