RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1156

I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉

Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.

“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms, a place built by and for people like you, where is a right and not a privilege.”

In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about , you must leave X and join the fediverse.

@appassionatoearthling Something feels fishy about this. Squirrels, at least those we have here, are notoriously ferocious and wild, and more or less impossible to make tame even if you try.

Also, dogs are not always friendly giants and not on command in scenic moments. And the picture quality looks a bit weird somehow.

Do you know the soon-to-be-viral upload of the creator on Youtube? That would give a clue too. And if there is no original source - well.

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.

Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Linus Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.

Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.

Natürlich wäre es Musk lieber, sich mit kleinen Nationalstaaten, statt mit der EU-Kommission herumzuschlagen. Weil die EU als gemeinsamer Wirtschaftsraum ganz anders verhandeln &/ Regeln durchsetzen kann. Mit einem derart gigantischen Markt legen sich selbst die ganz Großen nicht so gerne an.🤷🏻‍♀️

Elon Musk will die EU abschaffen X ist der Europäischen Union nicht transparent genug, deshalb soll die Plattform von Elon Musk zahlen. Der Milliardär reagiert erzürnt. Seine Forderung: die EU auflösen, er sehe Zensur und zu viel Bürokratie. 07.12.2025, 08.37 Uhr

Auch hier ist mal wieder das Framing irreführend. Beim „Bürokratieabbau“ libertärer Lesart geht es nicht mehr um Formulare. Oder um langwierige Prozesse. Es geht um Kern darum, dass man eigentlich einen auf das Minimum zurechtgestutzten „Nachtwächterstaat“ möchte, der sich möglichst wenig einmischt.
