They don't seem to be doing it on bad faith, but I do think they should've asked for more info before deleting your post.

I don't know how Mastodon's backend works, but maybe moderators could have an option that, instead of deleting a post, puts it on hold until the fact-checking process is done, including giving the post owner the chance to comment?

And if they see that it was flagged wrongly, they just enable the post to be seen by everybody again.

@WarnerCrocker

I don't know if Danish use them, but at least in other EU countries, people will still need to get rid of US cards operators like Visa, Mastercard etc to buy on local supermarkets.

@Gargron @EUCommission

They will wait until they will have their profiles blocked, excluded or shadowbanned.

I've never heard about it, but ok, anyway, why do you think it's very likely that a non-white Asian immigrant born in 1988 and from a culture (China/Taiwan) where 88 is the lucky number, be a nazi because he uses his birth year in his nickname?

Most people probably have an account on the internet where they use their birth year for their username. This is one of the most common things we see on the web.

Folks, sorry but on that one, you're being REALLY bad

@gelbphoenix @Infoseepage @techlore

Please stop with this. He said why: he was born in 1988 and 88 is a lucky number in Taiwan, his country of origin.

Can I ethically use LLMs?

"The title is not a rhetorical question, and I'm not going to bury an answer. I don't have an answer. This post is my exploration of the question, and why I think it is a question"

End-of-year celebrations are a great time to remember to be respectful of people who don't drink #alcohol. Everyone's reasons for not drinking are different, and that's okay. If someone says they don't want a glass of wine, that's fine. Just offer them a juice or a water instead and move on. 🙂

Seeing many people here talking about Matrix and Xmpp in the last days... but where do you meet people that use these tools? 🙂 None of my contacts will ever use it... is there any list of interesting groups at least?

Sam Altman side by side with Aaron Swartz.

I can't stop thinking about it. One was prosecuted by the US for downloading copyrighted data from 1 source for noble purposes, and committed suicide to avoid prison. The other is widely celebrated for doing this on a much larger scale.

@aracnus opaa, vou entrar agora mesmo, valeu! :)

@aracnus @kde oi! Vcs precisam de mais tradutores brasileiros? Estou terminando uma tradução em outro projeto e estou procurando o próximo. :)

@Gargron I like the new design! Thank you!

It seems like someone who tried to do everything at once. It's similar to when people radically change their diet or try to be more eco-friendly at once - they get overwhelmed and give up.

@tchambers I don't think Bluesky is investing on marketing. The migration of the last 3 days seems to be natural to me. People were looking for alternatives, many are already inactive on Threads because don't like it and people heard about Bluesky as an alternative. I do believe it's mouth to mouth.

@pablogilah I'm not sure why there was this move to Bluesky (who was the influential figures behind it), but the ambiance there is really taking off. Even the Brazilian president is there now, instead of setting up a Brazilian instance.

European Digital Sovereignty

"Europe became a digital colony. A region of 750 million people with few to no major, native tech services. Reduced to a vast pool of data, a captive collection of eyeballs, and potential in-app payment taxes for the great powers.

This digital colony of #Europe has been essential to building some of the most valuable and powerful conglomerates the world has ever seen"

« Egress fees », ou frais de sortie sur le marché Cloud : Un outil puissant de verrouillage

"Une étude a montré qu’il était compliqué pour les utilisateurs de passer d’un service cloud à un autre, en raison de frais de sortie élevés imposés par les leaders du marché. Ces coûts excessifs représentent un obstacle important à l’émergence d’une concurrence saine et équitable, et par conséquent à l’innovation"
