Interesting approach. But it's commercial, not decentralized, and is backed by Sam Altman and more Big Tech honchos, so my first reaction is skepticism.
O, ex-#Twitter znowu ma problemy u niektorych osob - u jednych nie dziala bez zadnego dokladniejszego komunikatu, a u innych ponoc problemem jest wlaczona ochrona sledzenia w #Firefox 🙃
A #CNN review of footage, #SocialMedia posts, and interviews found that some of the most dramatic attacks caught on camera that night were committed by people outside #UCLA – not the #university students and faculty who were eventually arrested.
I don’t really use Twitter anymore, I have a burner that I just use for sports and weather and news and never post from. But every time I open it, I have to question my sanity.
I just read an article about how there is an ice cream that is designed to, and I am not making this up, “taste like your grandma”
I subsequently read another article about how the New York Knicks won an NBA playoff game because someone let out “an epic fart”
These are real things. You can look them up.
Are people just getting more insane? Should I double up on my meds?

The European Union has opened a formal investigation into Meta over concerns it isn’t doing enough to safeguard the mental and physical health of children, reports @theverge.
The probe will assess whether Meta has breached rules under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), noting that Facebook and Instagram’s UI and algorithms may cause “behavioral addictions in children.” There are also concerns that Meta isn’t doing enough to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate content, and that its age-verification tools may not be “reasonable, proportionate, and effective.”
From what I gather, today Facebook unilaterally flagged heaps of Humanitix links and events as spam and deleted them.
That's people's livelihoods on the line.
But it's the price we pay for collectively trusting one centralised company with our entire social lives online. Especially one that gives its decisions over to algorithms rather than humans.
Nieuzywany #facebook zglupial u mnie do tego stopnia, ze zaczyna mi sugerowac do sledzenia fan page z jakimis zdjeciami wygenerowanymi przez #AI (najczesciej zdjecia mniej lub bardziej ubranych kobiet 😆 )
Booooze, gdybysmy tylko mieli alternatywe na fejsa... :kappa:
Someone on FB unfriended me and they wanted me to know why. Ummm. So I said ok... think they wanted an apology for a comment I made on one of their posts instead of an ok 🤷🏻♀️ I do not want to be dragged into their drama. #socialMedia Is even more confusing for #ActuallyAutistic people 😳
Mastodon is a big part of my move away from Facebook. THIS is how social media was at the dawn of the internet (maybe we didn’t use that term) - we ended up with FB et al. We ended up with bullshit. I’m glad to make my way back to old school online socials. BTW, does IRC still exist? #SocialMedia#retro
Frank McCourt, the billionaire real estate mogul and former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is currently working on a bid to buy TikTok, according to reports.
While it remains to be seen whether TikTok’s parent company ByteDance will agree to a sale to anyone, @Gizmodo reports that “McCourt’s background in utopian tech advocacy makes him an interesting figure to enter the race.” Here’s what we know so far.
