Europe must break its dependency on U.S. tech monopolies by investing in decentralized, open-protocol social media platforms that empower users, foster innovation and protect democratic discourse. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/13/world/european-homegrown-social-media/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #socialmedia #bluesky #facebook #instagram #x #skyfeed #graysky #tech #bigtech

What would you tell a scientist who asked you, "Should I join Mastodon or Bluesky?"

If the goal is to reach the largest possible audience, which is essential for science popularizers, I'm not sure I would recommend an app like Mastodon. I can explain my reasoning in more detail later.

For now, I would like to know what the #Fediverse would say.

The year is 2025. Social is entirely occupied by Enshittified Corporate Goons. Well, not entirely. One small decentralized platform of indomitable nerds still holds out against the invaders....

Since the influx of Blue Sky and Twitter users, Mastodon Dot Social had unfortunately — but temporarily — experienced a few Nazi accounts, all of which have since been removed. However, a few individuals are now wrongfully claiming that the Fediverse is no different, simply because a few bad individuals managed to make it here.

What they’re choosing to ignore is the key difference: those accounts were dealt with and rightfully removed. The fact that they weren’t caught immediately does not support the implications being made. 🙄

Haters are going to hate. 🤷

If you're trying to get folks to ditch #bluesky in favor of the fediverse, maybe instead of sending them needlessly complicated explainers, something like this might be useful.

NEW: #Bluesky is having a banning controversy that revealed the limitations of its federation capabilities.

No one is running a fully independent AT Protocol stack because it's so complex, not even the Blacksky community.

Fun news! The AI moderator they use that auto-labels disabled people as pornography on Bluesky? It's connected to an AI image and video generator!

So all art and videos posted on Bluesky not only get to help make a slop machine better, but help make sure all disabled people are considered porn.

And Bluesky's Head of Trust and Safety is VERY cool with this!

E apesar do fediverso ser popularmente conhecido como "Mastodon", este é somente o software mais usado.

O Mastodon está no fediverso mas sozinho não é o fediverso. O fediverso é uma rede de serviços interconectados:

- YouTube aqui é o PeerTube
- Instagram aqui é o Pixelfed
- Facebook aqui é o Friendica
- Microblog (tipo Twitter) aqui não falta: Mastodon, GoToSocial, Sharkey, etc.

Com uma conta em um lugar dá para interagir com todos os outros, as fronteiras não existem, não precisa de visto.

Welcome #BlueSky folk! Don’t be shy, the water is great! 🐘

Dear New Comers and anyone immigrating to Mastodon from oppressive platforms.

You’ll not be deported from Mastodon because of your ethnicity, religion, color of your skin, views or because you read books.

Welcome.

The 'Fork Off' Test

One of the big reasons decentralization matters is the 'fork off' test that #Bluesky CEO Jay Graber memorialized in her 'No Caesars' marketing blitz (https://observer.com/2025/03/bluesky-ceo-jay-graber-wants-world-without-caesars/). Simply stated, what's the mobility within the network should any one member be lost, become evil or otherwise corrupted?

Can you really move?

Now, Bob Riccie's @ricci 'Are We Decentralized Yet?' (https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/) quantifies centralization using sophisticated data analysis and analytics.

How about an #Introduction again, since I haven’t been very active here and I’m thinking of being more active. And yes, it’s in part because of #Bluesky, the CEO, and their shit content moderation. I’m not leaving there yet. I would like to try another instance, though it looks like that may be pointless if Jay can get mad at you and delete you from all instances.

But I digress… an intro:

I’m an #author #writing a book series called Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories, but also other novels and short stories as well. I have the first three in the series out now. The first two are free currently from my newsletter site (in the library). The series is noir/thriller and with some horror sometimes and deals in themes such as corruption, friendship, and #LGBTQ issues (Mercedes is a closested #bisexual woman).

I’m also a trained method actor (the non-annoying kind) and recently starred in a short film that garnered 4 nominations including Best Film. I used to do a lot of indie filmmaking back in the early 2000s. I love movies and especially #horror.

I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and in my last year of school. It’s looking like I may wrap up my bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2026. I’m an English major and do enjoy #editing and am considering it as a career afterwards. I’m rounding off my degree with courses on #journalism.

I write and edit a #newsletter called Weaver’s Deep Thoughts which has “deep thoughts” on a variety of topics as well as free #ShortStories and #poetry by a diverse group of writers. It’s slowly growing and submissions are currently open. I’m currently rolling out a serialized story called “The Bride of Usher” for #Halloween which is a sci-fi/horror blend of “Frankenstein” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” New installments are dropping every Friday this month. The first is a available now.

Here’s some links:

I’d love to connect and I love collaborating. Stay awesome. And leave LGBTQ folks alone!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Be good to each other. ✌️
