To my dear friends in the USA: please stay strong and safe. Do what you feel in your power to resist the unfair regime that has taken control of your country.
To my friends not in the USA: do NOT go there! But remember, we do have friends there and they are going to need our help.
If you need one reason to get all your friends out there on the Fediverse this is it: break free from the powers that are!
@janvlug@nrc_nl en neem dan meteen even contact op zodat we een eigen server voor jullie kunnen neerzetten. Dat maakt het allemaal een stuk legitiemer.

Schandalig dat er door jullie gekozen wordt voor gesloten platformen. #kortzichtig
@echo_pbreyer van Leyen is just the ‘face of the organization’.
It is the system with its non transparent ways of accepting lobbying and big money doing the lobbying and being successful at it that is the problem.
I agree that ‘pirates’ may be the solution, but only in the sense of ‘a sane and democracy promoting alternative to a lot of the powers within the system’ if only we took the European Human Rights laws as a starting point for all new legislation.
@mwl@taf to everyone stating ‘I just gave up’ my advice is: just un-give up and try again. Do it for the rest of us. Just run your own #mailserver or better yet: run it for yourself and your friends and some small businesses and maybe even some larger ones. Just don’t give up again! #motivational
@OpenTech_AUC one of the nice features of running your own instance is that you can increase the number of allowed characters to something a bit more than the default.
That way you can fit those URL's (and your argumentation that has nicely formed sentences instead of abbreviated ones) in your toots and your reactions.
