p.s. In case you missed it, LibreWolf has just created their own Fediverse account:
➡️ @librewolf
It's a fork of Firefox with emphasis on privacy, for example it comes bundled with the excellent uBlock Origin.
(Just edited it into the list above too, but not everyone sees the edits 🙂 )

Citatet är @axbom som försöker hjälpa DN:s Kristofer Ahlström hitta rättare sociala medier, och inte falla tillbaka och återaktivera sina gamla han vill bort från.
Vad som är annorlunda med #Mastodon, #Pixelfed och #Fediverse förklaras också bra.
Jag tror också det går styra om allting internet till något betydligt trevligare och användbart. Ännu finns bra möjligheter 🥰
My first post on #Mastodon. I feel I need to get away from US-Controlled media.

Also: @dfri needs someone willing to be its next kassör.
Please reach out to me if you:
• care about digital human rights
• speak hella good svenska
• have any community org/brf accounting experience
• 1–3 hours a month to volunteer
Trump and JD Vance didn’t humiliate Zelensky.
They humiliated America.
A country that once stormed the beaches of Normandy now whines that a wartime leader isn’t “grateful” enough.
Imagine being this fragile.
Imagine thinking this is strength.

Don't forget there's @Waterfox and @librewolf

Sweden has its own back door proposal in addition to EU’s Chat Control 2.0 and Going Dark. Signal’s president @Mer__edith is clear as always: if you mandate back doors (i.e., vulnerabilities): no more Signal for you. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/signal-lamnar-sverige-om-regeringens-forslag-pa-datalagring-klubbas
Denna fråga svarade V, C, MP och SD ja på i somras.
Står de alla fast vi det här nu appropå regeringens lagförslag om bakdörrar i totalsträckskrypterade appar som Signal?
Maila dem och fråga!
Förslag på mailtext och kontaktuppgifter finns här:
Many people just learned about Sverige’s chat backdoor proposal from an interview with Signal CEO @Mer__edith with SVT Nyheter. It is similar to the EU’s and UK’s recent chat control proposal.
@dfri fights for digital privacy rights in Sverige and responded to the government’s request for comment in January.
DFRI needs more Svenskar to join as members and donate to its work. It’s 151,50 kr well spent.
Ny här på Mastodon! Tipsa gärna om bra konton att följa! 😊 🙏
"The United Nations general assembly has backed a resolution drafted by Ukraine and the European Union condemning Russia on the third anniversary of its full-scale invasion, spurning a rival US resolution reflecting Donald Trump’s split with Europe and growing union with Vladimir Putin."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/un-general-assembly-russia-ukraine-war
Hm, about that, Donald Trump’s growing union with Vladimir Putin. US citizens, are you fine with this happening in your name? Is this what the USA will be now, a helper state for Putin?
Please help me understand this.
"US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine"
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/politics/us-joins-russia-ukraine-un-vote/index.html
"The US had introduced a rival General Assembly resolution, which did not call Russia the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine’s territorial integrity."
I thought that USA under Trump was supposed to be all about selfishness, but now it seems it's more about being a tool for Putin? Not "America first", but rather "Russia first"? Trump is Putin's puppet?
