Senator @Paulatics Paula Simons rose today in Question Period in Canada’s Senate to ask the government why (the hell! - my words lol) Government is still using that platform of hate, misogyny and Russian misinformation called X!?
Boost to support the Senator!! And ask your MP, MLA, or other government representative wherever you are to do the same!!

Bluesky? University of Innsbruck relies on Mastodon
Twitter, long considered the go-to platform for microblogging, is history. Its successor, X, is currently witnessing a mass exodus. Even celebrities are abandoning the platform in favor of alternatives.www.uibk.ac.at
No niin täällä "taas". Mikäs on nyt on hyvä Androidilla toimiva clientti Mastodoniin?

Interesting to see Bluesky reporting huge increases in moderation reports including harassment, CSAM etc https://bsky.app/profile/safety.bsky.app/post/3layun7re5s2x its very tricky for any platform to manage and get right.Mastodon
This other social network has made #Mastodon is such a enigma. And not talking about Twitter.
"Hoping Mastodon will get it's great migration too."
"Hoping Mastodon stays small / underdog."
...shouted simultaneously out of the same mouths.
Proud to make my home here but it's odd.. maybe some of this noise is performative? Reminds me of the Linux / Apple "wars" in '90s.
Actually it's mostly good talk about #Bluesky here. IMO over there relatively we're barely mentioned.
Moving on.
A day after I finished moving 50+ creative bots to my own server, things are looking pretty good!

We are sick and tired of hearing "where is Joe Rogan of the left? Why don't we have #progressive content on TikTok and Insta so Gen-Z can see it?"
We do. There's a ton of them. They reach hundreds to millions of people.
The real issue, is that social media algorithms promote what is popular. And what's popular is garbage. And conservatives are great at making garbage.
Until we crack down on biased algorithms, non-Conservative content will always be sidelined.

Even more Bluesky Growth
Bluesky is breaking ceiling after ceiling for open social media. It's getting a bit boring now isn't it? We've all heard about the success of Bluesky. I mean, even ITV News did a segment on it.Saskia (FORbetter)
From all I’ve read over the last few days, the consensus seems to be:
- #Bluesky have got a lot of the UX right, but there are still a lot to do on the infrastructure side to create a truly decentralized social media.
- #Mastodon / #Fediverse have come further in terms of building the underlying, decentralized infra, but are lagging behind when it comes to UX.
From what I’ve learned over the years, neither UX or infra are easy to fix down the road. But infra somewhat harder than UX.

Aujourd'hui, ça fait donc 2 ans que je me suis installée sur le #fediverse ! 🎉
J'y ai rencontré des gens formidables, dont certains sont devenus des amis IRL.
Même si les réseaux sont avant tout un outil de travail pour moi, je viens ici avec joie pour discuter de tout et de rien.
Merci à Piaille.fr de m'avoir accueillie et à vous tous.tes pour nos discussions ❤️
C'est reparti pour une nouvelle année !

Also—and I really don’t want to sound like a BlueskyBro here—is there any software that implements custom timelines in the Fediverse, such as the super cool ones Bluesky has?
It would be super cool if lists could be made not only of profiles, but also of hashtags and keywords, ideally even having custom algorithms, too!

I see so many posts lamenting the fact that people are moving from Twitter to Bluesky instead of Mastodon, but I think that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the Fediverse and what it stands for.
People who want ‘just another platform’ will not find what they’re looking for here because Mastodon is not one.
By comparing Mastodon to other platforms specifically competing for Twitter’s user-base, we are trying to make Mastodon something it’s not; a stage where people shout at the world.
That concept is so fundamentally opposed to the philosophy of Mastodon and the greater Fediverse that I struggle to even make the comparison.
Mastodon is a tool to form communities where genuine conversations are actually given a chance and where small corners of the internet can blossom into something truly wonderful.
I think that is something worth holding on to, even if it means some people decide to join Bluesky instead.

@pluralistic 's words on Bluesky and #enshittification are, to me, true.
These two paragraphs say everything about why I can't trust Bluesky to always have good intentions:
'But here's the thing: all those other platforms, the ones where I unwisely allowed myself to get locked in, where today I find myself trapped by the professional, personal and political costs of leaving them, they were all started by people who swore they'd never sell out. I know those people, the old blogger mafia who started the CMSes, social media services, and publishing platforms where I find myself trapped. I considered them friends (I still consider most of them friends), and I knew them well enough to believe that they really cared about their users.
They did care about their users. They just cared about other stuff, too, and, when push came to shove, they chose the worsening of their services as the lesser of two evils.'
On Mastodon, you never see all replies, especially if you host a small instance.
GoToSocial and IceShrimp.NET do a fetch all replies when you open the detail of a post.
This feature may finally be on its way to Mastodon!
Hoping it gets a UI indicator showing the reply retrieval progress. Right now, that is lacking in other software, you have to refresh the screen after a bit of time has passed and then see them, not ideal.

I love that the first command on the Mastodon "Using the admin CLI" documentation page is the ultimate kaboom command.
Speaking of #MastoAdmin duties that I'm working on right now, I'm also setting up regular cleanup for my instance.
