@gyptazy@mastodon.gyptazy.com The #Fediverse itself, generally, is. Many (most?) #Mastodon instances, appear not to be. Anyone supporting #FediBlock or likeminded initiatives is not in favour of an open Fediverse, they simply wish to create a new variant of #Twitter where they are the ruling class.

If you stick to the places which are "banned" by such initiatives, you reach a public that deeply cares for freedom of speech and/or opinion, and are unlikely to defederate entire instances for it. Many will still defederate spam instances, but there are even those that don't defederate from those. The "downside" is that you will have to experience opinions you disagree with, though if you are above average intelligence, you will actually value this as a major benefit.

To promote the idea of freedom (of thought), run alternative software to Mastodon, such as #Pleroma or #Misskey. Avoid alternatives that strongly desire to limit what kind of opinion you're allowed to have on any topic. Avoid any instance that partakes in shared blocklists. Don't trust any admin that wants more than 200 users, or otherwise desires to grow for the sake of growth. And don't trust any admin that is unwilling to publicize their blocklist.

If you want a quick and easy way to experience more freedom, actually sign up and/or follow people on instances listed on shared blocklists.

Hier im #Fediverse bist du nicht das #Produkt im #Datensilo, dass umsonst für eine Plattform für #Werbung arbeitet um auch noch ein wenig #Inhalt darum herum zu bieten aber nur in ihrem #WalledGarden.

Das du zahlst hier auch nicht mit deinen persönlichen #Daten um mit interessanten #Menschen zu interagieren.

Auf #Instagram, #Twitter, #TikTok oder #Facebook etc. geht es nie um dich, und dein Schaffen, sie wollen nur dein Bestes: Deine Zeit & deine Daten & dein Geld!

Every once in a while, I miss the absolute absurdity of #Twitter. 😅

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

Manchmal bekomme ich echt schon ein schlechtes Gewissen, wie oft ich hier etwas unter den Haschtags #followerpower und #fedihelp poste.
Aber wenn ich lange probiere, suche, recherchiere und nicht mehr weiterkomme, dann bitte ich um Hilfe. Und ich bekomme hier immer Tipps. Und wenn ich etwas nicht verstehe kann ich nachfragen und werde nicht dumm angemacht. Das war bei #Twitter oft anders.

Dafür mal an dieser Stelle ein ganz dickes Dankeschön an alle. Ihr seid spitze.

Diskussion mit K1, warum sie und ihre Peers denn noch auf #Twitter oder #BlueSky sind obwohl viel von ihnen #LGBTQ+ sind. Sie meint #Mastodon ist toll, aber da ist niemand unter 50.

Also abgesehen davon, dass ich schon mit 49 hier war, gibt es Ecken im #Fediverse die 16-25jährige ansprechen?

"...fled myself from the #BorgSite after #QLoon's takeover, I did see myself as a #TwitterRefugee of sorts. And, even with hindsight, it was. #Twitter and connecting with my big network there, though not my home, had become a big part of my life.

In a global #townsquare, it is impossible to not alienate someone verbally or photographically portraying people (e.g. girls/women not wearing a headscarf with users from many #Muslim countries)...

so JD Vance basically told the EU, he & Trump will destroy #NATO and sic #nuclear #bombs on them, if the union won’t let #Facebook #Meta #Google #Alphabet #Twitter #Xitter #Microsoft #OpenAI #Amazon #Apple and the Silicon Valley fascistocracy, traffic Europeans digitally and rob them of their lives & livelyhoods.

because let me be clear: they aren't trafficking our "data". they are trafficking us.

turning humans into tradeable assets is a cornerstone of #slavery

I wish I could stop dunking on #Musk, but he just won't quit...

This 53-year-old multi-billionaire was on #4chan of all places, posing as a fan of... HIMSELF!

Sadly, his brain is smaller than a quark (and denser too) and he accidentally shared a screenshot from HIS OWN #Twitter account.

Loads of juicy posts from his alter ego in the otherwise vile slurry of hatred that is 4chan including "Elon is a father who gets lots of sex".

Bravo #Elon. Bravo.

'Ireland's data privacy regulator is investigating Elon Musk's X. The country's Data Protection Commission (DPC) said on Friday (via Reuters) that it's opening an inquiry into the social platform's use of European users' public posts to train its Grok AI chatbot. In this case, Ireland handles EU regulation enforcement because X's European headquarters are in Dublin.'
