The social media I consume:
Facebook, an ad-infested swamp where I sometimes see updates from family and old friends who won't switch platforms.
Reddit, because sometimes I want to inject my eyeballs with algorithm-driven content that also is somewhat user-driven.
BlueSky, which has interesting perspectives from otherwise intelligent people who somehow think Mastodon is "too hard."
Mastodon, which I see as simply the *real* internet.
Because of X and Meta fucking things up once again, people are talking about abandoning social media, because there are no corporate free alternatives. Right.
Bluesky founder and CEO @jay.bsky.team says social media is stagnating because "we're in this trap where users are locked in and developers are locked out." She talked to @mike for the Dot Social podcast about building a healthier internet, how Elon impacted Bluesky's trajectory, innovating on social identity, and how different protocols can come together.

澎湃新闻消息，印度尼西亚政府官员6日说，正在考虑对16岁以下人群实施“网购禁令”，以避免未成年人在网购平台遭遇诈骗。
印尼通信和数字事务部长默蒂娅·哈菲兹当天接受法新社采访时作出这一表态。她表示，印尼出台针对16岁以下人群的社交媒体禁令后，接下来将把禁令扩展至购物网站。“电子商务平台将是下一个，因为我们发现有孩子在网购时成为诈骗案受害者。”不过，她没有说明“网购禁令”的详细方案。
今年3月28日，印尼正式实施针对16岁以下人群的“社媒禁令”，成为东南亚地区首个效仿澳大利亚、禁止青少年在优兔等社交媒体平台开设账户的国家。印尼政府表示，这项禁令覆盖印尼约7000万名青少年和儿童，以防他们受到网络色情、网络霸凌、网络诈骗和网络成瘾等问题侵害。
现阶段，印尼“社媒禁令”主要针对8个“高风险”网络平台。按默蒂娅·哈菲兹的说法，这类禁令“最终将应用于所有数字平台”。

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben join fediverse futurist @mike for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

Bluesky & the Fediverse: How 3 + 0 adds up to more than 1 + 2
Building a different web and bringing back its magic means choosing what matters. Making the most of the bridge with Bluesky. Turning people first, post once social media - Fediverse 3.0 - into a reality. And nurturing communities through small and medium sized servers, feeds, hashtags and Fediverse 0.0.
Rappel pour les nouveaux arrivants sur Mastodon: merci de mettre un avatar sur votre profil, de remplir votre bio et de rédiger une petite présentation en un post (ici on appelle ça un pouet) avec le hashtag introduction ou introduction.fr. C'est une bonne nouvelle de vous voir ici mais il faut aussi se conformer aux usages. On ne vous demande pas votre dossier médical, juste quelques infos: domaine d'activité, passions, hobbies, etc. Merci 🙏
Young people in Taiwan are being exposed to pro-China content on TikTok which is influencing their identity and attitudes towards China
According to research, TikTok’s algorithm suggested a “disproportionately high ratio” of content favorable to the CCP compared with other apps such as Instagram or YouTube. Users of the platform tended to hold a significantly more favorable view of China’s human rights record

Just a reminder that 0% of fediverse admins took on debt to support their communities.

Hey everyone! Just FYI, I am going to be changing my username on here to @ cyberseckyle. Of course, as y'all know, I am going to have to create a new account. 😒
Be on the lookout for this change and me refriending you during the upcoming days.

Madison and Nashville School Shooters Appear to Have Crossed Paths in Online Extremist Communities
—
A month after a student opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School, another killed a classmate at Antioch High School. Both were active in an internet subculture that glorifies mass shooters and encourages young people to commit attacks.
