Also, X/Twitter give you the illusion of being able to take part in a discussion. Unless you have a the blue check mark, no one sees what you write and no one sees the comments you adress an elected official using Twitter.

Imagine a political assembly where only those wearing a paid badge can use the microphone.

Moving public deliberation to Twitter undermines the very foundation of democracy.

> I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions

Well, great article, Elena ! I would love to disseminate a French version.

Did you link with @leavex ? They carry roughly the same message though not ruling out Bluesky.

Thank you for your thoughts about Bluesky, by the way! I am struggling to understand eurosky. Any thoughts on it?

I don't get the rss part.

I tried with your adress in the Thunderbird rss reader thing, it doesn't seem to work. I added /rss to your adress, still doesn't work.

Does it work with any fediverse adress, or does the account need to have somehow enabled somekind of rss switch?

When I will get back home tonight, I will try with some other accounts.

This rss feature would be quite cool.

Saw it there so it’s still pretty early I’m guessing: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p… 😅

P.S. Oh no, too bad you’re missing on the conference! ☹️ Are there maybe any other events you’ll be going to? 😊 Pretty sure I’ll attend, yes!

P.P.S. It’s actually public just as of today!! Have a look here for a first glimpse at it: code.vinyl-cache.org/vinyl-cac… 😁 (By the way, they’re on Mastodon too now! And thank you again for sharing the original call for entries! I’ll post an announcement soon as well)

This is such an important issue! All universities, institutions, citizens & responsible communicators should be using a "communications platform that is accessible to all citizens, without the need for an account; an independent network not subject to [monetisation &] censorship due to opaque algorithms or political bias."
Thanks for this clear explanation!

@ruud
It works! You have to add .rss instead of /rss.

It is set up on my Thunderbird. I will see, Elena, if your next posts do appear in my rss feed.

Yesterday I wrote: "Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"

Credit goes to @samvie for suggesting I add the bit "funded by taxpayers' money" 🙏

It also works with hashtags. I just tried it.

Look for a hashtag in the search box. Click on the hashtag in the result list. Copy the link in navigation bar and add .rss.

I am now just waiting to see if I will get this hashtag's publications from the whole fediverse (which would be cool) or from Mastodon only.

@_elena: mind if I make up a Polish translation and publish it on kontrabanda.net?

@macfranc

@souverain yes! ❤️

One quick question about Renaissance: I saw that they had a green checkmark next to social media but I couldn't find any links to profiles outside of Big Tech platforms (looking at their website). LMK if they're here :)

thank you for the clarification! I couldn't find them on the fediverse, thus my question. On their website they only list links to Big Tech platforms.

Quick Q: are we sure the Bluesky account is legit? 36 followers and language like: "Joli bullshit de l'opposition" 😵

Edit: I guess it's legit, I'm just a little surprised by its language. Call me old school 😅
