So, Bluesky made a change in its design that sorts replies to a post by "hotness". Some people is concerned, but there is other people making funny comments about the folks concerned by this. And I'm ๐Ÿ‘ just ๐Ÿ‘ fucking ๐Ÿ‘ tired ๐Ÿ‘ of ๐Ÿ‘ history ๐Ÿ‘ repeating ๐Ÿ‘ itself. This is Facebook redesign debate bullshit, we've seen this, we've done this. Mocking people that dislike a design change and has REASONS? How does THAT go? Did we learn NOTHING? I'm screaming
Nazis in 1941: "The Jewish question" Pundits in 2024: "The trans issue" Words we use in the present carry the hatred of the past. Beware of becoming one of those people we read about in History books. Or, in layman's terms, please don't be a fucking Nazi? Edit: Very important to note that the nazis targeted transgender people as well https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/new-research-reveals-how-the-nazis-targeted-transgender-people-180982931/
Leftists and anarchists of the #Fediverse, If you had to recommend only one #book to push a centrist right down the pipeline, which one would it be? (Not a centrist myself, but was curious)
Listening to the Vergecast: "Mastodon has lost the momentum" ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„ I love The Verge but It's time again (gets the megaphone) ๐Ÿ”Š I do not think #Mastodon *needs* to become a massive social network. Mastodon is already having a pivotal part in the social media ecosystem only by *existing*. Yes, there are a lot of things that need to improve. Racism is the biggest one of them (this is not a debate by the way, this is observable reality). I hope that shit gets fixed soon because it is the biggest embarrassment for this place. But Mastodon and the #Fediverse in general is the only movement that would not be able to be co-opted by billionaires because, by design, it will never interest them enough to do so. Because: Most of us do. Not. Give. A. Shit. About. Advertising. And. Monetization. And if you do, it is fine! Just saying this is not the best space for that and that makes it less prone to being sucked by The Machine. I do not want this place to be *Famous*. I want this place for me to communicate with my friends, for people with health conditions to feel safe talking about masking and for LGTBQ folks to safely EXIST. If this was also as good for racialized folks, it would be heaven already. Hope we get there soon. - Mastodon lets me edit my posts - Mastodon lets me block entire servers - Mastodon lets me migrate my people - Mastodon has a lot of clients to choose from - Mastodon does not have cryptobros backing it - I do not have to make my friends and blocks public on Mastodon if I don't want to. And please don't get me started on "it's very difficult". I have been on Bluesky since the invite codes and I still don't fully know how the goddamned labeling function works. Thanks for comming to whatever this was.
Mi yo de hace 15 aรฑos le desea un gran dรญa a los corpomierdas que denunciaron a la web. Y tambiรฉn a Netflix y a las personas basura a las que se les ocurren ideas como la de prohibir compartir cuentas. Si me estรกis leyendo, que sepรกis que sois el equivalente digital a esos arquitectos que diseรฑan bancos para que los pobres no duerman en ellos

Hackers, #Infosec specialists and #privacy advocates are going to be very important in the months to come. Please read the EFF's surveillance self-defense guide and reduce as much as possible the information that companies like Google or Amazon collect about you. Fedi admins and moderators, help us keeping the people away from the online agressors. If possible, make sure the services you use are based in Europe. All hands on deck
