Gregory's Serverlike, i feel pretty confident in claiming that i have a pretty good tabs on whats happening on fedi (couldnt write my newsletter otherwise lol), and this lack of conversations about what seems to be quite impactful on the state of the social web is something ive not really seen before

 @laurenshof (It just hit me that it may not register as particularly extraordinary when we’ve had court orders to block services like Telegram in the past, and Twitter/X has been basically at war with Alexandre de Moraes for a while.) @laurenshof Welp, it’s extraordinary now that our Supreme Federal Court blocked financial resources from Starlink to guarantee Twitter/X pays its fine. I’ll eat my hat.  @anna interesting, thanks! If you have the bandwidth for it, would you mind sharing an article (can be in portuguese) that you think gives a good analysis of the situation? Would be nice to hear a brazilian perspective on it. No worries if not! @laurenshof I’ll see if I can find something that also explains some of the intricacies of Brazilian law!  |
@laurenshof At a risk of sounding simplistic, it’s news from the Global South and from a country where a lot of technologists are (1) conservative (2) don’t support Alexandre de Moraes (justice of the Supreme Federal Court involved).
OTOH, Brazilians like me are burnt out from meta discussions and discussions involving Twitter/X, so while I’ve talked about it with Brazilian friends in private, I feel like I don’t have mental bandwidth to discuss it in depth with foreigners.
