Why Mastodon and the fediverse are “doomed to fail”:

https://write.as/eloquence/why-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-are-doomed-to-fail

How do we make ironic articles about the loss of privacy on websites that use spy trackers a thing of the past?

The duality of tech journals / online magazines / bloggers that advocate for #privacy yet are using #google #analytics, pervasive ad tracking (offline and online), etc. on their websites is an issue that may demand our attention.

What might help?

+ A code of conduct?
+ More vocal online protest?
+ Sharable “I won’t read your post because...” graphics?

Any ideas are welcome...

One thing I do notice, is that the community I have come across on here seems infinitely more informed and civil than the average person on Twitter. I left Twotter for a few months and just checked it out again.. Holy shit.. It's been more than two years since I left Facebook and I don't even want to know..

I'm all-in on the #fediverse and have announced my departure from Twitter (for the like three people who actually care). Let's see how this goes! 🙂

For those in the US celebrating July 4th, consider declaring your independence from online tracking and the harms it brings (filter bubbles, discrimination, manipulation, etc.).

Google has a shady competition & data protection past. Now it wants to buy @Fitbit.

Add your voice and demand that the @EU_Commission blocks this deal!

Day 60 of the #100DaysToOffload Series:

Yesterday @kev wrote an article about how email is not broken. Rarely is he just so wrong.

RT @arvidkahl@twitter.com

Genius. They wrote a script to make a PDF look like it's printed, signed, and then scanned again. Because digital signatures are still not accepted in many places while a signed and scanned printout is.

This is hacking bureaucracy. I love it!
