“The future of oppression” will likely be “fewer people in concentration camps & more people controlled in a society with 24-hour surveillance systems…limiting what they can do."

Thanks to this post QOTO is currently being linked from HackerNews in the #1 spot. Our instance is getting a lot of exposure as is this very important issue.

Do Fediverse people know the verb 'to plonk', in the Usenet sense? I just plonked someone, and I was going to reply "plonked" to them, but thought it wouldn't carry the intended meaning.

@sir as far as I can tell, the Linux foundation exists to make it easier for large companies to control the development of Linux. Am I wrong?

Discord Looks To Grow Beyond Its Gaming Roots https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/08/28/1721249/discord-looks-to-grow-beyond-its-gaming-roots #social

@freemo @khird A lot of hate and aggression is on random websites... So is this the time to ban all browsers? Or shut down the internet as a whole, problems would dissappear. Or create something like Great Chinese Firewall... is this direction world want to choose?

@freemo

Looking forward to Google banning Gmail app because it allows you to subscribe to an alt-right mailing list.

This is probably the closest analogy you can build to explain what's wrong with Google's action in the traditional Internet terms, because SMTP has been federated like forever.

@freemo Thanks, have done part of that, so copied the text then linked to your full post, which has the links to the screenshots, also added my comment at the bottom (made it clear it is my comment) to say the fediverse works in a different way.

The problem is ,lst year Mastodon hit the main news, as lots of people in India moved to the fediverse,

If this story hits the media it will be twisted, journalists will go out and search for this hate content, and say it is easy to find.

To day is that big march in Washington DC. so this could be a convienient time for Google to 'look' like they are doing something.

Interestingly Protonmail are on both Gab and mastodon, which does show that the two are separate networks otherwise there would be less need or they would have to be on ALL the different instance types I guess.

Lets see what happens, we need to remind the world that 18 months ago facebook allowed live streaming of a mass murder terror attack in New Zealand, and also it is still accused of not dealing with child abuse properly.

More ammo Britain first is still trending in the UK, (has been all day) they are a racist hate group.

I wonder if the twitter app will be removed !!!?
