I had the BEST time today at #PubConf2025. It was really inspiring and energizing to connect face-to-face with people championing the Fediverse and working tirelessly to create better online spaces - away from Big Tech’s closed silos.

It was also SUPER COOL to meet IRL people I had been corresponding with online. Thanks for coming up to say hi :)

Feeling hopeful for the future ✨🚀

Hey, I've had enough of giving my name to Deutsche Bahn in exchange for a ticket at not-millionaire price. They ask my name even in person.

I'm in Sachsen and I'm ready to go all in to fix this attack on #privacy. This smells like a GDPR violation (what legitimate interest do they have?). Would you want to coordinate my next steps?

My team wasn't free to stop me from writing whatever I wanted about them on our About Us page. Now I just need to revoke their production privileges.

One of them (Stephen) has a day job at a bank and will have a lot of explaining to do about his taste in music.

This stuff makes you -- or should make you -- ashamed as an American. https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/middle-tennessee-family-torn-apart-after-ice-highway-patrol-checkpoint-looking-for-color-of-skin-wife-says

35 years ago, the colonial state laid siege to the Mohawk community of Kanehsatà:ke. Tanks, guns, and lies were deployed against land defenders holding sacred ground. That summer became a spark — not just for Indigenous resistance here, but for every struggle against settler colonialism.

This is the first in a series of drops marking that anniversary.
Narrated by my homie Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas, who was there, behind the lines, holding it down. In this one, he breaks down the story of the Warrior Flag — how it went from the Pines to Standing Rock, to Palestine, to anywhere people rise up for their land and dignity.

The Siege of Kanehsatà:ke wasn’t the end.
It was the warning.

Hello everyone!
Quick introduction, we are a brand-new co-op and mutual aid organization aimed at building a network of distributed lending libraries that will facilitate shared resources within our communities.
Now more than ever, we need to build alternate systems of support in our communities that can adequately distribute resources where they are needed most. We will always be democratically owned and controlled, and we hope you'll be part of this project. Visit our website to learn more!

Glad to see Democrats (and a random Republican or two) expressing outrage after Trump's thugs manhandled one of their colleagues.

This is an improvement from the Democrats' standard "deeply concerned" response to Trump's fascism.

Are the Dems planning to, you know, DO anything about it?

Instead of "enjoying" their massive "wealth", billionaires kept getting greedier and greedier to a point where the people had enough

They are not heroes or example figures. They do not benefit humanity, they bleed us dry for their own endless greed that will never be satisfied.

Billionaires are parasites and a mistake of society..

Mistakes should be fixed. All of them.

The Danish Ministry of Digital Affairs is moving from Windows to Linux, from Office 365 to Libre Office.

https://www.heise.de/en/news/From-Word-and-Excel-to-LibreOffice-Danish-ministry-says-goodbye-to-Microsoft-10438942.html

"Minister Caroline Stage (Moderaterne) announced this in an interview with the daily newspaper Politiken. It comes just a few days after the country's two largest municipalities initiated similar steps. This summer, half of the ministry's employees will be equipped with Linux and LibreOffice. If everything goes as expected, the entire ministry will be free of Microsoft by the fall, Politiken summarizes."

From the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker:

A NBCLA news van was vandalized during an immigration protest in LA on June 9, social media videos show:

Dunno about the rest of you, but I've been wondering for quite a few years how long it would take for one (or more) of the very very large baskets into which many people, businesses, and organisations have put *all* their eggs to suffer a catastrophic failure. Because it will happen. And some people will be caught out, and a lot will be lost. Because: unaware users & late stage capitalism.

If you're on here and hearing your friends say they're going to #BlueSky 'cause they're “getting better reach” — remind them what always happens next.

They lure people in with engagement, then shadowban, censor, and sanitize once the politics get too real — especially when it comes to #Palestine.

Investing time and energy into these corporate-lite platforms is a trap. We’ve seen it over and over: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — now BlueSky. It’s the same playbook with new branding.

Mastodon isn’t perfect, but at least it's not selling you out the second you speak truth.

Tell your people: don’t chase numbers. Chase liberation.
#FreePalestine. Always. 🖤❤️💚✊🏽
