A next step for the is so that /etc. works a bit like email does with MX records or the web with www.

Right now instances are often like {social}.{domain.com} where {domain.com} is some existing domain and {social} is an arbitrary subdomain for mastodon/etc.

But really it should work like email, where you just need to know the user's name and domain name, not the subdomain: you could toot to user@example.com.

are great. They're not "cool" anymore, and idiots abuse them; but they enable platforms to be self-organized by the users without much tech skill.

With all of the anarchists etc. here, that kind of grass-roots understanding should be implicit.

are BOTH crucial and dangerous. bring people into conversations, help onboard new users, and keep people coming back.

But harassment and abuse need to be fought at the platform level.

How can we have BOTH?

The best way to fight the power of Facebook is probably not to just , but to subvert it.

Facebook works by letting you use it for free, in exchange for using your data commercially.

It survives because people keep using it for personal purposes, which it can then sell.

If you want to fight that, use your personal Facebook account for exclusively commercial purposes, without buying advertising. Promote your business, post affiliate links, and avoid it for anything personal.

April 18th, 1930 on the BBC should be the gold standard for journalism. The day when there wasn't anything going on, so they just said "there is no news today" and played piano music for 15 minutes.

Did you know that Mastodon is only part of the fediverse?

For example, you can share and comment videos on PeerTube :
joinpeertube.org/

Similarly, there is Pleroma, another microblogging tool that allows you to share with Mastodon:
pleroma.social/

And even Funkwhale a social platform to enjoy and share music :
funkwhale.audio

You will find information on the Fediverse on:
fediverse.party/
fediverse.network/

Doodle devient payant.

Pour 5 utilisateurs : 25€/mois.
C'est plus cher que Nextflix.

Heureusement qu'on a Framadate et qu'en plus c'est un logiciel libre !
Gageons que d'autres instances seront installées.

PS: Il y a aussi une appli NextCloud qui fait ça : apps.nextcloud.com/apps/polls
