Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag

If you use #Meta, #Bluesky or #Substack have an escape plan!

As repeatedly demonstrated, corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?

Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on #Mastodon and #Ghost and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

O instHub acompanha essas novidades de perto.

Bluesky Users 🙋♂️ - How About Moving To Vivaldi Social?

Many #Bluesky users today reporting an infestation of right wing trolls, and it is only going to get worse.

How about banding together and decamping to the Fediverse?

Get it. You may have had some issues here in the past, but together you can assert strong influence on the Fedi's future.

Why not pick @jon's Vivaldi Social as a landing pad? Server's in Iceland. Financial backing. Recognized alternative to Big Tech.

Two very interesting things I noticed about this post by #Bluesky (which I discovered via @solimaniac_).

☝🏾 Bluesky is differentiating themselves from the #Fediverse (which is primarily built on #ActivityPub) by referring to what they are creating as the #Atmosphere

✌🏾 Bluesky admits what they have built thus far is not truly decentralized as they want to embrace “hard decentralization”

While React Native <Text> components do support a `selectable` prop, you can only copy the whole block of text.

BlueSky wrote an awesome library to handle proper selection as most users desire.

Now using it in the new Loops app, and soon in the Pixelfed app ✨

Please be so kind as to repost your posts on the commercial, centralized #BlueSky platform or to not limit it to their users, if you repost them here..

Bluesky - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

Learned today around May/June 2024, #Bluesky quietly switched the default to their algorithmic 'Discover' feed. Now new users are fed posts determined by the owners, just like Instagram, TicTok and X. Why this matters is the vast majority never change defaults.

Think of these platforms as tools for information warfare, and the ability to amplify and mute is how they shape influence.

Lefties congrugating on Bluesky are walking right into the trap.

Here is a meme image currently making the rounds. It says Mark Zuckerberg, but it could just as well refer to #Bluesky's ownership now or in the future.

The midterm elections are fast approaching. Anyone have any confidence that Bluesky's crypto friendly VC owners won't succumb to pressure to put their finger on the scales?

Isn't this obvious? We've seen this movie before. Why is the left falling for the same ploy again?

WIRED: Would you welcome president Trump if he was debating joining bluesky?

@jay.bsky.team: Yeah, #bluesky is for everyone.

...

I understand that #ATproto should be for everyone, but decentralization means you don't have to allow everyone on your server. They can run their own and everyone can decide how to deal with that. The company doesn't need to make these decisions. She knows this.

I doubt @Gargron would welcome him on #mastodon infrastructure.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

„Bluesky - Der Traum ist vorbei“ schreibt Sascha @pallenberg auf seinem Blog #Metacheles. Da der Konzern #Bluesky den Ansturm destruktiver #Trump - Accounts mit hochgekaufter #Reichweite widerstandslos geschehen lasse, kehre er dem Portal zugunsten von #Mastodon den Rücken. Starker, lesenswerter Text! #Medienethik (1/2) https://www.metacheles.de/bluesky-der-traum-ist-vorbei/

Habe mich im Oktober 2023 gegen #Bluesky & für #Mastodon entschieden, weil ich meine, dass #Konzernmedien unweigerlich in finanzielle & politische Abhängigkeiten geraten. Nach meiner Überzeugung war & ist das #OpenSource - basierte #Fediversum der beste Weg, um fairen & sicheren, digitalen #Dialog zu organisieren.

Die #Reichweite von #Facebook , #Instagram & #X vermisse ich nicht, spreche inzw. sogar von #Reichweitenlüge. Bin glücklich auf #Mastodon. #Medienethik (2/2) https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/warum-ich-im-fediversum-bleibe-aber-nicht-auf-bluesky-wechsele/

People who use a bridge between Mastodon and #Bluesky, what service do you use, and what are your thoughts on using it?

❌ Big Techs like Musk's X do not need to own the monopoly.

✅ Luckily there are better Twitter alternatives.

👉🏼 In today's guide we take a look at the best ones so that you can say NO to big tech.

Warum #Bluesky vor seiner ultimativen Zerreissprobe steht und aus Angst vor Regulierung komplett eingeknickt ist... also vor der MAGA-Blase.

Das "etwas andere" Netzwerk ist vor allen Dingen eines: eine durch VCs gepushte US-Plattform, auf die ich zu lange reingefallen bin.

Mein oeffentlicher Abschiedsbrief in Richtung der dortigen Community und mein Hallo in Richtung #Mastodon und #Fediverse

Gerne teilen. Danke 🙏

'Mediated' Network Framing for Bluesky

The most recent developments over on #Bluesky make clear it is not a 'federated' network. But how then can we characterize it?

The brilliant L. Rhodes @lrhodes makes the case it should be considered a 'mediated' network: Federated and mediated networks >>> https://destructured.net/federated-mediated-networks

Think of the difference as federation keeps the burglars out of town, whereas mediation relies on door locks and security cameras to keep you safe from your neighbors.

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.

Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

Participation in social media is now mandatory.
Internal Security has found it far more effective to allow citizens to mass surveil themselves.

Man kann diesen Text gar nicht oft genug loben und verbreiten! Er spricht offen ein Problem an, was hier im #Fediverse schon lange diskutiert wird, weil es gerne als Argument genutzt wird, um #instagram #bluesky #meta #twitter #x etc. nicht zu verlassen.

"Da habe ich aber 10.000 Follower und hier nur 500 😭 "

Wenn ihr dieses Argument hört, schickt den Leuten diesen Artikel über die "Reichweitenlüge":
