I prefer #SocialWeb to #Fediverse because these imply two entirely different things.
Fediverse implies an enclosed space for which you’re either “in” or “out”. Which is why the Fediverse attracts to many HOA-type people.
In contrast, Social Web presents an effort to supplement a space that already exists, and for which everyone is already included.
Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.
Remember.

Cowardly killer?
Folk Hero?
Or can someone be two things at once?
The most balanced think piece I've come across...from the article:
"Obviously, an explanation is not a justification. Nothing justifies murder. I see it as a primal scream from a society that has had enough. I view it as a warning."☠️ 🇺🇸 ☠️

A collective primal scream and the murder of Brian Thompson
First in his class, valedictorian, Ivy League top university graduate, instructor at Stanford, private high school attendee, handsome, friendly, hailing from a very wealthy and successful family. And a murderer, with no previous criminal record.Tenia Christopoulos (ΚΑΘΗΜΕΡΙΝΕΣ ΕΚΔΟΣΕΙΣ ΜΟΝΟΠΡΟΣΩΠΗ Α.Ε. Εθν.Μακαρίου & Φαληρέως 2)

I find it strange that certain people want us to believe that they have a problem with murder, but not mass murder.
I have not seen any of those who call Luigi a murderer express the tiniest but of sympathy for the tens of thousands of preventable deaths caused every year by our health insurance industry. What about the children of the people killed by health insurers? Or do those lives not matter?
Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.
What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?
The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.
Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

A Twitter post by John Sipher ([@]johnsipher.bsky.social) states: "On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923." A profile picture of John Sipher is shown to the left, and a "Following" button is to the right.

I'm actually not sure I'll be able to premiere my new "Goodbye" YouTube " video that I spent all week furiously editing because I'm still fresh off another YouTube ban of a fully-clothed video of me simply talking to the camera as" sexually explicit nudity," which is just *chef's kiss* irony. I can at least show the YouTube-safe version on Twitch since I scraped out all nipples, even male nipples, because I'm banned to a degree that nobody else faces.
man I'm so close to just not even caring anymore about if my post get banned on mainstream social media. I'll just post them to decentralized platforms like Mastodon and Peertube, and if no one watches them, so be it, but at least I won't have to be holding my breath waiting for a fresh ban 🙃

I don't know what that is an am not really at liberty to physically take part in resistance protests right now (my identity is too easily found and I have kids to worry about) so not really 😅 but I'm glad to hear others are organizing!

It doesn't natter what the alt right or media claims, Elon Musk did a sieg heil salute.
And it matters that he did that. He is the richest person on this planet and now has major stakes in the US government
So yes, having neo-nazi's run one of the worlds leading countries does matter a lot

I want to update it to what I used on my t-shirt design--"ban nazis not nipples"
Looking for instance recommendations by and for PoC, for some people I've been talking to who balked at using mastodon years ago because at that time they experienced a lot of "white liberal" racism here.
(I'm nervous I'll be perceived as racist for even asking this... But I'm not sure how else to frame this request)
