The #Fediverse is a decentralised world, but some things have established themselves in my timeline over the years. So as a refresher, here a few hashtags you could use, feel free to add more in the replies. #FediHire when you are looking for a job #FediGive when you have something to give away or donate #FediBlock If you want to warn others of accounts/instances to block #Caturday Needs no explanation ;) #SelfHost to discuss running your own online stuff

My problem with the discussion around platforms as public services is that it results in control and access by authorities. It would be better, in my opinion, to look at converting platforms to cooperatives. Especially in the EU. You can create an EU cooperative called the SCE [1]. The cooperative approach ensures democratic control by its members, allows for generation and reinvestment of revenue. It is the better model, in my humble opinion. 1/4 [1]

Munich fireworks this year: far more boom and BOOM, a lot less wheeeeeee compared to previous years. And that human made fog smells toxic enough for me to keep the windows closed. Onwards! 2026, let’s make it a good one!

Bei der #GLSBank fängt wohl die Schadensbegrenzung an. Die Stellungnahme [1] wurde kräftig überarbeitet (da sind wohl die Hausanwälte aufgewacht ;) und heute morgen gab es ein erstes Gespräch zwischen Vorstand und Genossenschaftsmitglieder. Eine ausserordentliche Generalversammlung wird weiterhin diskutiert. Die Rote Hilfe hat erklärt das sie ihre Konten bei der GLS Bank gerne behalten würde. [1]

You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing. 1/3
