Haters will say it's fake.

This just in:
People shocked as venture capital backed company with good product/service that was operated unsustainably and at a loss to draw in users enshittifies as backers scramble for return on investment.

“I’m shocked”, says one user of the product/service. “I know this exact thing has happened every other time without fail, but I thought this time would be different.”

Thanks @EUCommission @EC_NGI and @nlnet for your support of open ecosystems, open standards and open source software. And of course for your help in establishing alternative social networking environments that are less corrosive to the fabric of global society. Fediverse on the rise, let's follow the path to a peopleverse that serves.. well, people.

You just know you're doing something right when #Meta 's data protection officer talks about your ‘power’ and how she wants the #EU to ban you from doing your work.🤡

Othering. Fascists do it. To create distance between groups of people. To make us not see each other anymore. This alienation lends them power.

At social coding commons Sirius posted his article "Do we need new #SocialMedia?" (in German)

https://bildung.hypotheses.org/6230

It occurred to me we must avoid othering at all levels. To increase 'social bandwidth'.

And that starts with avoiding the word "User".

We aren't users! And advertisement giants shouldn't administer global society!

Brauchen wir neue soziale Medien? 

Zur Aktualität eines Internet-Memes  Im Juni 2013 schreibt ein Satz deutsche Internetgeschichte. Auf einer Pressekonferenz verkündet Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel folgenschwer: „Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland” (Nagel 2013). Vor allem für Internet-affine Menschen deutete...

Not sure what Americans need to do at this moment, but it probably needs to be soon.

In response to the recent flood of Catholic imagery on the #fediverse, I present my one true deity: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. R'Amen.

@EUCommission and urgency for that matter.

@EUCommission

Your focus has shifted to #Bluesky for #Microblogging to replace old twitter.

That means more attention freed for #ActivityPub. The future of #social networking is strengthening #human connection online.

Let's lead the way forward in how #technology can serve mankind, instead of mindless digital transformation that only serves #capitalism and the bottom line.

We can envision a #peopleverse together. A place where online and offline are seamlessly connected, not separate worlds.

@EUCommission

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.

Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.

We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.
