Today is the World Press Freedom Day. Established by the United Nations to celebrate the right to freely impart and receive information. The freedom of expression is a basic universal human right that secures all other rights. Here is to every one who is protecting or fighting to protect digital rights!
I don't typically publish every job opening we have @purism but since I know other pro tech writers follow me, I thought some of you might want to know about a new technical writer position we just posted. Details here: https://puri.sm/job/technical-writer/
Our Librem 5 teams are continously taking in your feedback to improve the phone and its features. Here is an update by Martin Kepplinger (https://social.librem.one/@merge)

For Big Tech companies there are several ways to strip you off of your privacy and to gain control of your digital rights. These companies understand that privacy is really about control. Because they control the OS, their app stores, and their respective clouds, they control their customers’ privacy. They use this control to their advantage against competitors. Do not fall prey to privacy washing 📢 https://puri.sm/posts/privacy-washing-do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/

Okay, it's time to tell new users a secret about Mastodon.
Mastodon is (whispers) part of a much bigger network 😮
Mastodon servers use an open standard called ActivityPub to talk to each other. That's how you interact with people on other Mastodon servers.
But, dozens of other federated networks also use ActivityPub, so (this is the good bit!) you can follow people on these other networks from your Mastodon account!
For example:
PixelFed (https://pixelfed.org) is a photo sharing network, here's a random example account @Iancylkowski
PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org) is a video sharing network, with a p2p system that allows videos to go viral even on small servers, here's a random account @craftykat
BookWyrm (https://joinbookwyrm.com) is a social reading site, an open alternative to Amazon's Goodreads, here's a random account @mouse
Together, Mastodon and these other services form... The Fediverse
