No thanks. We are already on an independent digital space. W Social is not independent; it's related to the American VC run Bluesky.

This is really beautiful, interesting and important at the same time.

SPUN: *A hidden infrastructure*

➡️ Underground networks

"Beneath our feet lie networks of invisible ecosystem engineers: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.

These fungi form trading relationships with more than 70% of plant species, building networks of tubular cells called hyphae that extend the surface area of root systems up to a hundred-fold.

Collectively, these networks comprise one of Earth's circulatory systems." ➡️

"BREAKING! GEEF TEGENGAS IS BLOCKING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROSOFT DATA CENTER

While people can’t find proper housing and the climate crisis is escalating, Microsoft is building an enormous data centre in Amsterdam. Stop the data center that’s complicit in violence and oppression! This war machine doesn’t belong in our backyards.

As long as they keep building the data center, we will come back!"

In @protonprivacy news today:

1. #Proton is funding the French far right on YouTube

https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/1tzbizh/proton_is_funding_the_french_far_right_on_youtube/

2. Proton is deeply sorry and promises to do better

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1u05xs2/comment/oqgihvq/

They probably vet their sponsorships using AI, so this shouldn't have had happened in the first place. So keep an eye on them folks.

#FarRight

Oh isn't this fun?! I'm blocked by #Proton on Mastodon. 😲 What did I do?! 😇

This is probably about my (civilized) critique regarding Andrew Yen (https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans). If I read the comments on Reddit below https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1u05xs2/comment/oqgihvq, this seems to be their modus operandi. Blocking or removing critics.

Besides all the other issues with #Bluesky, did you know Israeli venture capitalists invest in that American company? That means that they partly own it. One of them is named Darkmode Ventures (https://www.darkmode.vc). Only the name is good. #VC #Israel

I also found another Israeli venture capitalist that invested in #Bluesky (https://accessipos.com/bluesky-stock-ipo/#Ownership). Stav Erez of Lab/02. She is recommended on LinkedIn by that other Israeli investor, Amir Shevat from Darkmode Ventures (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stav-erez-13b8974b/). Amir Shevat, who's posting without any shame Israeli propaganda on his LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn🇱🇮activity:7119701140899823617). Propaganda that makes the ridiculous, but still dangerous statement that the IDF is the most humane army in the world. 🙄 Or that Israel is just a decent country, so don't complain folks. 🤷🏻♀️ 😭

This is were Bluesky is doing business with. Not that all the other venture capitalists or regular investors are any good. It's all evil capitalism in overdrive. Or business as usual.

I will probably remove my Bluesky Bridge tomorrow, because these are not my ethics.

"🚨 Terwijl eigen burgers worden gegijzeld en met geweld worden aangepakt, worden ouders, vrienden en kameraden van hen binnen 5 minuten door politie omsingeld, geslagen en afgevoerd.

Demonstreren is een recht! ✊

Onze vreedzame demonstratie werd al afgebroken voordat het goed en wel begonnen was.

Het is ongekend belachelijk dat zelfs het opkomen voor naasten met geweld wordt bestraft.

We zullen niet stil blijven!! 📢"

Great overview by @anildash with articles he wrote about #Prince over the years.

#Palantir places a full page ad in the New York Times to appreciate #Israel. Doing what fascists do; admiring other fascists. And the New York Times is also complicit (as always). I'm wondering how much money they received (or did the NYT it for free 🤔).

They will probably find more #Epstein files on the other side of the #Moon.

But seriously, although good for #science, it is still a US mission. #Trump and his gang of thugs will use this for propaganda. It's like Hitler's 1936 Olympic Games!

@aral I know that @voltnederland is at least in favour of the European ICE, #Frontex. Don't know about @VoltEuropa .

This is a good moment to abolish all nation states and enjoy #anarchism! Starting of course with the imperialist states.

Here is the FAQ for your convenience:

An hour ago @ACU.nl in #Utrecht was attacked! Fascists threw a stinking smoke bomb into the café. Nobody got hurt. There were anti-left and anti-queer slogans on the empty shell. So this is not only an attack on leftist people, but also on queer people. Especially because tonight there is a queer party planned as part of the @2dh5 festival. 2.Dh5 and ACU ask as much people as possible to join the party.!

WE DON'T LET THEM INTIMIDATE US! :anqueer_star: NEVER! :solidarity:

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD on Bluesky (a kind of Twitter / wannabee big-tech):

"A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter's algorithmic feed significantly shifts people's political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I've read in awhile."

Compliments to James Stewart that he still can show some positivity at the end of the video. We are just fucked, but that was already clear a few years ago. We just got distracted with war, fascism and genocide. So let's call it ultra-fucked. Still we keep fighting! Until the end! 🥊
