Exato! O ponto de virada é a enganação de apresentar arranjos privados como infraestrutura pública. Temos o direito de não participar, é faço questão de exercê-lo.

"A febre do #marketingdigital, especialmente no #Instagram, não é apenas um problema econômico, mas também acarreta consequências imediatas e futuras para a democracia."

O fato de ser #MetaFree (não usar produtos #Meta) desde 2016 me tornou um caso de auto-estudo etnografico. #PabloMarçal é tema que não consegue furar meus filtros, e se configura quase como não assunto. Seria Pablo Marçal um típico #InstaCandidato? O resultado dessa eleição será importante benchmark.

Sei como é. Sou privilegiado, e minha esposa me socorre nas saias-justas da vida do cidadão brasileiro sem WhatsApp. Mas te digo que é bom, viu?
Engraçado mesmo é a reação das pessoas ao fato de alguém não ter WhatsApp hoje.

Muito se falou sobre os 3 milhões de brasileiros que entraram no #BlueSky desde o #Xban. Mas o gráfico abaixo mostra um salto de quase 2 milhões de novos usuários no #Fediverso desde julho. Me parece significativo.

"The tech industry and its press have treated the rise of billion-scale social networks and ubiquitous smartphone apps as an unadulterated win for regular people, a triumph of usability and empowerment. They seldom talk about what we’ve lost along the way in this transition, and I find that younger folks may not even know how #theweb used to be."

"People on Mastodon and the Fediverse tend to be #privacy conscious. So there are limits - both in the API and the culture - as to what is acceptable.

Some people don't share their #socialgraph. That is, it is impossible to see who follows them or who they follow.

Users can choose to opt-in or -out of publicly sharing their social graph. They remain in control of their privacy.

And that's OK! People should be able to set limits on what others can do with their data."

"One of the best arguments I’ve heard about why #Orkut so thoroughly dominated #Brazilianinternetculture in the 2000s was that it had a very good tool for creating public communities. And Twitter’s hashtag, chronological feed, and open search provided the same ability to create endless pockets of conversation or “zoeira” or “zuera,” the term Brazilians sometimes use for the meme-filled chaos that used to happen on X."

#BrazilXBan: "…as publicações remanescentes são essencialmente de pessoas à direita no espectro político. A polarização que marcou historicamente o Twitter, com duas bolhas distintas de usuários, acabou. Praticamente não há mais usuários de esquerda que publiquem com frequência e volume no X desde a suspensão do acesso no Brasil.

Esse público migrou para outras redes, mas principalmente para o Bluesky - rede criada por um dos fundadores do Twitter."

Brazilian #Museums Rock the #Fediverse: by stitching two #WordPressPlugins, #Tainacan & #ActivityPub, #Brasiliana has managed to provide a framework for "digitally sharing #museum cultural heritage collections with indigenous communities."
“In its new role as a facilitator of dialogue on memory, heritage, and collections, the #museum creates a conducive environment for open, transparent, and well-documented discussions.”

Opa! Vamos falar.
Já dá um quórum bom.
Saber desse peertube no Ibict dá uma alegria! Aqui no Ibram, junto com o @daltonmartins, estávamos pesquisando se existe um player de peertube para WordPress, para plugar no #Tainacan.
Que tal?

#Reddit "…the platform that was once the darling of the internet's cool kids is now facing an existential crisis. It's a feeling that should be familiar to anyone who's watched their favorite punk band sell out and start playing elevator music.

You want to look away, but you can't help but wonder: How did we get here?"

Hello Robin, thnks for the help!
I've talked with friends in gov.br, and your notes caused some surprise. 1st, as we work with public policy, we are comfortable with AP, and not so much with AT. You say that developing AT/AP integration is not easy, but then, that would be our main challenge.
You mentioned PIX, and we've been thinking how it could be part of the protocol. Do you think it could somehow help the AT/AP integration?
Maybe we have an opportunity here.

@uira
@robin é o cara!
Gostaria de saber o que ele pensa sobre a nossa situação peculiar aqui no Brasil, e se essa aproximação dos protocolos ainda seria possível nesta altura do campeonato. Se o Lula quisesse investir agora em uma alternativa para o espaço que no passado foi ocupado pelo Twitter, qual a dica? Vale apostar no protocolo? Qual?

@robin @uira

Thanks for being there, man!
In your view, the way to go would be something like that?

Can you tell if this conversation in Europe has translated somehow into code development by gov agencies?

@evan @skarnio @chewie @uira @rede
We are preparing an instance to be used by museums, not yet open for citizens. Hopefully, it soon will be.

@renatolond @gunchleoc @evan

Hi, we are a part of the Brazilian government [museums] experimenting with the Fediverse. We've started a conversation with @robin on possibilites, and I will be showing it to friends from other agencies. The idea is to bring good info to people in position to decide, and maybe you'd like to add to the conversation.

A turma que sai do Twitter agora aqui no Brasil vai direto para o Bluesky. Para chegar no Fediverso, a pessoa precisa passar por uma transformação em sua perspectiva sobre o que sustenta o ambiente digital. Leva algum tempo, e faz sentido que assim seja.
Se houvessem instâncias preparadas para bem receber essa leva de refugiados locais, daríamos um salto. Mas vai rolar..

"Since June, users have been able to see fediverse replies on their posts if they enabled #fediverse sharing in the app’s settings. Once enabled, the sharing option allows users to syndicate their posts across the wider social web and then see how people on other services have responded. Now users will be able to see the fediverse replies on other people’s posts, too. This immediately brings more content into #Threads, even without a sizable increase in Threads users."

"[#Durov's] company sees itself as operating entirely outside the law.
…[not] necessarily means that Durov should have been arrested and, say, Zuckerberg—whose platforms are also full of the same things—should not…(not saying either of them should be arrested). Durov’s arrest is still potentially concerning…
But conservatives in particular are so riled up about this in a very specific way because they see this as a chance to turn Durov into a martyr in the #culturewar."

"#Telegram referred to as an #encryptedmessagingapp.

This phrasing drives me nuts because in a very limited technical sense, it’s not wrong. Yet in every sense that matters, it fundamentally misrepresents what Telegram is and how it works in practice. And this misrepresentation is bad for both journalists and particularly for Telegram’s users, many of whom could be badly hurt as a result.

Now to the details…"
