Latest comic on the convenience of making less ethical choices
Connected Places a fascinating blog that focuses on the #Fediverse and other open #socialmedia
There's a renewed conversation around the lack of options for migrating post history when you move to a new Mastodon server.
And seeing a few people mentioning how this can be a reason for folks to give up on the fediverse when their server shuts down, I hope the Mastodon team will prioritize this.
Ω🪬Ω
#FediAlgo (the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed) v1.2.2 is deployed now. Has a switch that makes sure any #hashtags / users / etc. that you follow are displayed as filter options even if they don't meet the minimum number of recent toots threshold.
Also a bunch of bug fixes and small improvements.

Desde mi página web https://www.autumn64.xyz se puede acceder a todos mis pasatiempos y actividades que realizo en internet. Recuerden que hosteo desde mi casa y se va la luz a menudo, por lo que no puedo prometer un uptime del 100%. En caso de que la página no sea accesible el mirror está en https://autumn64.codeberg.page
En cuanto a los servicios web está activa la instancia de SearXNG (metabuscador) y de Redlib (frontend alternativo para Reddit). También subí algunos documentos y un libro que me faltaba publicar en el apartado de Artículos y Libros.
¡Muchas gracias por todo el apoyo!

Things are coming together at @newsmast. Here’s the big idea we’re working on:
What if every community could have their own early-Twitter, driven by an own-branded mobile app, as easy to build as Facebook Groups?
#Discord age verification going about as well as was to be expected i see.
all your passport are belong to darkweb.

The realization has been dawning on me that social media "is not real life".
* Governments would greatly benefit from running social media bots -- so, expect their presence.
* Most social media shows you what it thinks you want to see, not what's common -- on those sites (not #Mastodon, thankfully!), expect integrated bias.
This means that:
*You can't safely get a idea of what people think or what's going on in the world by looking at social media.*
My new YT video is up! In this one, I discuss why I hate Spotify and two FOSS alternatives one should use instead: OuterTune and Metrolist.
And frankly, I really, really like them both. I wish it hadn't taken me doing a video on this topic to find them.
Please hit the like button or leave a comment if you enjoy the video. Thank you!

Does anbyody know about an instance of @bonfire, that is open for registration and federated? I would really like to try it out in the wider #Fediverse.
"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.
The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort."

You know me, I love living on the edge and testing stuff. Here's yet another upcoming #SNS or #SocialMedia
"eYou", an EU #SocMed
If people who follow you on social media are called "followers", what do you call people you follow?
