<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@mike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mike</span></a></span>'s terrific fireside chat with <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>molly0xfff</span></a></span> on digital sovereignty, aka technological self-determination (taking control of your digital life and data), is up on the SXSW site. Don’t sleep on this talk, especially if you’re a writer or other kind of creator. With plenty of high-quality Q&A too, one person in the audience said it was “worth the badge.”<br> <a href="https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/</span><span class="invisible">PP147154</span></a></p><p>(We’re working on getting all the panels and talks from the <a href="/tags/fediversehouse/" rel="tag">#FediverseHouse</a> edited and posted.

<p>First, as a content creator you should above all own your intellectual property!</p><p>Second, you should not be dependent on a third party and their platform to get paid for attracting visitors to your content.</p><p>Third, your content should be published on your own website and shared elsewhere — to direct visitors to your site, where your rules apply.</p><p>Complaining about being willingly owned by a greedy company is pointless. 😉</p><p>The old original post:<br><a href="https://quasselkopf.de/@kranzkrone/112490021508687427" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="quasselkopf.de/@kranzkrone/112490021508687427"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">quasselkopf.de/@kranzkrone/112</span><span class="invisible">490021508687427</span></a></p><p>I optimized the old post into this newer version and also added a few hashtags for better visibility in the Fediverse. </p><p><a href="/tags/creator/" rel="tag">#Creator</a> <a href="/tags/content/" rel="tag">#Content</a> <a href="/tags/complaining/" rel="tag">#Complaining</a> <a href="/tags/first/" rel="tag">#First</a> <a href="/tags/second/" rel="tag">#Second</a> <a href="/tags/third/" rel="tag">#Third</a> <a href="/tags/property/" rel="tag">#Property</a> <a href="/tags/owning/" rel="tag">#Owning</a> <a href="/tags/sharing/" rel="tag">#Sharing</a> <a href="/tags/rules/" rel="tag">#Rules</a> <a href="/tags/independence/" rel="tag">#Independence</a> <a href="/tags/intellectual/" rel="tag">#Intellectual</a> <a href="/tags/website/" rel="tag">#Website</a> <a href="/tags/visitors/" rel="tag">#Visitors</a></p>
