While reading the social web documentation of @index, I discovered that Tumblr is on their way to integrate with the social web after migrating their backend to WordPress.

Does anyone know of any good quality blogs from Tumblr? Just wondering if it will be a win for the Fediverse, or if the vast majority of those millions of blogs are just low to average content.

"I'm Still Here" is the first Brazilian production to win an Oscar. A movie about the evils of a dictatorship.

It's an American award on the soil of a country that supported a military coup that lasted more than 20 years and, coincidentally, is now on the verge of a coup d'état.

The film explores the profound impact of Brazil's last military dictatorship on one family. Fernanda Torres delivers a powerful performance that offers a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by many during that time. It's a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of those who endured such difficult times. It also marks the first time a Brazilian actress has won a Golden Globe.

Go see it.

The number of voters for the AfD went from about 6.4 million people to almost 12 million in just four years. That's fucking scary.

You shouldn't be relieved that it wasn't 30% of AfD supporters. Instead, consider that there are TWELVE MILLIONS of Germans who follow far-right extremist ideas. Dangerous.

That's how racism spreads. A 2025 German textbook published by Mildenberger Verlag teaches children that while a German child plays the guitar after school, a Brazilian child doesn’t go to school at all-he collects garbage to survive.

This isn't just a stereotype; it's a deliberate reinforcement of racist narratives. When such depictions go unchallenged, they shape perceptions, justify inequality, and fuel the rise of parties like the AfD, whose racism is no accident-it's cultivated.

@evan @swf somehow yes. But I have to read more details on this project. To be honest, I'm a bit pessimistic after what you told me about the origins of Bluesky.

Ich bin bereit.

Au revoir de Paris, X ! https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-france-paris-donald-trump-x-social-media-weapons-intelligence/

The city of Paris has quit the platform X over concerns about disinformation and hate speech.

Great initiative, @LDH_Fr ! Kudos!

Democracy and a free press are two of the most powerful forces in society - and the greatest threats to Elon Musk's growing oligarchic influence. Yet, paradoxically, these same forces continue to give credibility to X, his platform for disinformation and bias.

Journalists won't leave X - after all, it's where their stories are shared, amplified and engaged with, despite all the bias against them. But we can demand that our political leaders stop endorsing it. By abandoning the platform, they can undermine its legitimacy, protect democratic values and encourage fairer alternatives.

If you agree, please, share these ideas with your representatives! https://openpetition.eu/leavex

"But it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app."

I see the executive director and president of Mozilla Foundation as their technical advisors, no surprise. But it surprises me to have the executive director of the Social Web Foundation (@swf) there.

Any thoughts, @evan ?

It also surprised me to see Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia, involved.

Any suggestion of a technology for a multi language tool to host https://leavex.eu? The main idea is to have the open letter in several EU languages and possibly some pages.

The main features should be multi language support and easy to set up on GitHub Pages.

I already installed Jekyll, but it seems that other alternatives are better for multi language support, in this order, Hugo, MkDocs (I'm familiar with putting), and Eleventy (I'm familiar with Javascript).

Hugo seems a better option due to its native multilingual support. Thoughts?

Pixelfeld.social seems unstable. Possibly too many people coming from the Meta world? A good sign for us, but I wish good luck for the servers maintainers on a Sunday.

I could post a photo of my dog after trying a few times tho.
