" (...) no one is coming to save us from this polluted information environment – not the government or the companies. If we want a good quality information environment, we are going to have to build a new one beyond the walls of the existing Big Tech social media platforms.
We can do that by funding people who do the hard work of collecting facts (aka journalism) and by finding new ways to reach audiences. Luckily, there is a new movement brewing that aims to break open the gates of the closed social media platforms – the so-called “fediverse,” also known as the social web."
This is an excellent read from @Julia

The Right Wing Takeover of Social Media
Hi friends – Social media is a special kind of paradox. In many ways, it has brought voice to the voiceless, powering movements ranging from the Arab Spring...Updates from Julia

I don't want to take anything away from Jay Graber. She is an effective leader that has steered her company to massive growth,
But I feel like she needs to work on her elevator pitch for what it means for a system to be "decentralized". Note: no one says the word "federated" in this interview.
Of course, it would be nice if #bluesky was *actually* decentralized. Maybe that is why she struggles with the question?

"Decentralised social media is more than just a technical shift; it's a step toward restoring autonomy and trust in our digital lives, empowering individuals and communities to connect without compromising their values or privacy."
A study by the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford finds that decentralised social media leads to citizen empowerment.

Vortrag/Lesung von Stefan Mey am 24.11.24 ab 19 Uhr in der Heilbronner Stadtbibliothek: „Der Kampf um das Internet"
Auch die bekannteste Plattform des Fediverse, Mastodon, wird in der Beschreibung erwähnt. Bin gespannt, wie der Abend inhaltlich verlaufen wird.

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!!

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.
Was ich nicht so verstehen kann und will, das man in den grossen Medien, das #Fediverse links liegen lässt. Heute mittag auf DeutschlandFunk Kultur, sprach man über Bluesky und Co. Und auch über Alternativen zu X, aber von unserem #fediverse kein Ton ? WARUM ?
Ist es, weil es von "normalen" Menschen geführt wird und nicht von einer grossen Firma ?
Vielleicht sollte man doch ein wenig die Strategie in der Werbung ändern ;D

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 !
Fedi feature request
I want to be able to block hashtags as easily as follow them. Click a tag. Under follow button is a mute button. Simple.
I don't want to take the time to set a filter for every forking sports hashtag but every time I see one I want to mute it!
I found this nice install guide for #snac written by @eltheanine and wanted to share.
@Aral Balkan Does it only work with local content on instances with the Mastodon API?
If so, that excludes any and all content from Fediverse instances without the Mastodon API, e.g. Hubzilla, (streams), Forte.

I just discovered the #degrowth hashtag through the previously shared post, and it resonates deeply with my views on social media and the reflections I shared a few days ago:
social.vivaldi.net/@everton137…
It also aligns with my ongoing discomfort about the relentless focus on profit-driven thinking. This mindset ultimately led me to found @okbr, the Brazilian chapter of the nonprofit organization @okfn, which started 13 years ago.
That decision was shaped by my earlier experiences working for a company that exploited its employees with unpaid overtime, including countless holidays and weekends.
The shortcomings of traditional centralized social media platforms run by big tech companies have raised awareness among a growing number of people - but it’s still far from reaching the critical mass needed for real change.

The Fediverse shouldn't aim to grow indefinitely in user numbers like big tech social media platforms. Instead, its focus should be on attracting individuals and organizations that create meaningful content and serve as valuable references.Vivaldi Social

Please, feel free to send journalists or publications our way if they have any questions. Or, if you're a journalist yourself, feel free to reach out.
