@Eugen Rochko It is good to have servers all over the world, but more and more countries are trying to censor social media. It's not just the United States. Right now they are targeting big social media worldwide, but I would not be surprised if they try and come after us too eventually. Free speech gives us power, and advocates of censorship don't like that.

@Gargron@mastodon.social 100% agree. US stands a good chance of becoming much more oligarchic under Trump, with politics starting to seep into how the company leaders operate. They won’t call it that obviously, because they’ll be oblivious to it. But politics it will be regardless. They’ll call it business, but it will be politics agreed to in back rooms instead of government corridors.

@Gargron@mastodon.social yay thinking I might prioritize a mastodon and/or general activity pub plugin in @pidgin@fosstodon.org now...

@Gargron@mastodon.social I hate it when I read „Twitter/X has become so bad, now go use Bluesky“. No, Bluesky is not the solution, it’s (going to be) a part of the problem.

@Gargron@mastodon.social My current minimum standard is: I don’t get on a platform if it can’t federate. ActivityPub is here to stay.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Especially now that Chump is going to get to play President again and hand everything over to his rich friends, I think it's imperative that Mastodon plays a more active outreach role / PR to actively pull users away from BookFace, Shitter and the likes. Maybe some high profile partnerships with other like-minded orgs to actively promote their fediposts? All the FOSS / GNU / open society types of orgs should commit to making it their primary source, while only posting links on other platforms and their websites to their fedi-posts. Elon Musk needs to dread his decision to buy Shitter, and Troth Sential stock values need to tank to penny stocks. I haven't used Insta, Snap or TikTok to really know whether or not I'd hate them, but their ownership and control are problematic enough to relegate them "to the dustbins of history".

@Gargron@mastodon.social I agree. Still, what's the matter with Social Web Foundation? Honest question. I see all these dubious companies over there. What's the game plan to have them (and their agendas) on the party?

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks Eugen for sharing this vision. However, I think there is a mighty lot of work to do making Mastodon more accessible to average users

@JohnMacgregor@newsie.social 2024-11-06 11:17
@Gargron@mastodon.social tho to be entirely fair, it's been the Democrats who have driven the recent all-of-government censorship project. The Trumpists & non-Democrat lefties have been the chief victims.

@marksquires.com@bsky.brid.gy 2024-11-06 11:18
I'm there! But how many large countries are really stable? I'd say animosity to migrants in the West kicked off a wave that led to the rise of the authoritarian right. It has mixed results and strength, but with the USA as a proponent rather than a bulwark, it is going to get much more complicated.

@Setok@attractive.space 2024-11-06 12:24
@Gargron@mastodon.social this is important. Very important. However, as this election has shown, the 'negative choice' is not enough. #Mastodon needs to be the positive choice. With features, innovations and services that go beyond what others are offering, and entice people to come and to stay. Of course that's not just up to you or the GmbH, but the things people create around this. But you can help in setting the culture, and creating joy in the core apps and services.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I deleted all my other social media apps to keep me mentally healthy. Keep up the good work. I really feel like we’re going go be under siege here in the US, but I’m more worried about the Ukrainian people this morning. Europe, I’m sorry. 🇺🇦
