Does anyone know of non-Western NGOs with a successful #Fediverse presence? I am planning a #workshop to share best practices for global civil society about how to break free from #BigTech social media.

Shouldn't the lobby group #AlliedforStartups be rather called "Allied for small companies we can buy to continue dominate the market"?

@ilumium Latest market capitalisation figure I can quickly find is from 2022 (cited in 2023): $30bn. So not yet big enough for DMA

"In patriarchal societies where #masculinity is coded as #power and control, men often try to get closer to women through power and control. The range of how this plays out is vast. It could be inconsequential, or it could end a woman’s life. This (...) may also be a reason why so many women in the “Man or Bear” debate chose the bear."

I recommend every man to read this piece by long-distance #cyclist Laura Killingbeck.

@ilumium Don't just say "I recommend every man to read this piece". It is good reading for women as well.

I'm still trying to figure out whether #JackDorsey's departure is a good thing or a bad thing for #Bluesky.

Another harsh example of how #disinformation online can kill:

"Disinformation on cholera led to Mozambique ferry disaster, officials say"

@ilumium @EC_Commissioner_Breton ah - I thought wrong: @EU_Commission actively respond. Here's an example from 2 hours ago: https://social.network.europa.eu/

It's really sad that the staff behind such an important project who've no doubt gained a lot of valuable and unique experience from interacting with 100k followers now have to stop, for no good reason.

But I hope that people with this experience can find a venue to share it, so the Fediverse can continue to develop.
