"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them." - Noam Chomsky

  the term freedom has been stolen by conservatives and libertarians. https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/spirit-liberty-speech-judge-learned-hand-1944 So cool to see @nlnet officially join the fediverse using https://gotosocial.org/ Thanks for supporting so many amazing #fediverse projects, including @pixelfed (in fact, our project was the first fediverse project funded by nlnet ✨)   @dansup @nlnet @pixelfed nice! They should get upgrading though, their release is ~9 months old (0.12.2) with most recent release being 2 days old (their release: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.12.2)

 @nlnet @NGIZero @nlnetlabs glad to see you here finally! Might be nice to unmask *who* is posting to the account.   I had no idea @nlnet was into funding so much development these days. I know you mostly from the early internet/usenet days in NL. As it happens, I've got some ideas about open communication networks that are a bit broader than the usual social media, that I'd love to work on but probably never will. But now I'm thinking I should maybe write a proposal for you. Even if it's just to refine my ideas.

@ansuz @cryptpad I agree with the fact that encryption is a fundamental part of democracy. But the problem is that I have not seen proposals on how to handle a situation where encryption is used by actors who want to undermine democracy, hiding their actions via encryption. E.g. A foreign state actor using telegram in a combined randsomware-against-hosptitals and disinformation campaign, this to cause social unrest and inlluence people to vote tor more-extremist parties.  good morning, #EU residents. have you written to your elected representatives about #ChatControl yet? EDIT: comments should be addressed to the offices of "permanent representatives" listed on this page: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/ I don't know for sure that these offices are elected. start with these contact points, after that you can still feel free to contact your MEPs, but start here Just a note saying how my #Fediverse experience has been made immeasurably richer for being able to take in and engage with carefully curated #Threads users, #BlueSky bridged users, #WordPress ActivityPub enabled blogs, Federated #Podcast episodes, #PixelFed photos, and Peertube videos. All from one Mastodon account. This works. And I'm grateful for the moderation tools to mute, block and curate all of this, and the Mastodon lists to make them all digestable and not just info overload.

 @tchambers Many times a #Bluesky user seems to be replying to or reposting something I can’t see. I assume it’s because the poster is not bridged. Disheartening. Does not seem to be as bad with #Theads. @tchambers That sounds really exciting. So far I have stuck to the Twitter/Reddit way of using this medium but we'll see what the future will bring   @dansup Could you be so kind to offer an .apk to the Pixelfed app? I don't want to use Google Play Store    @dansup @pixelfed Can’t log into pixelfed.social using @vernissage Is it related to this? Only .social is affected.  Why does safari hate mastodon advanced mode??? I just accidentally boosted something when I meant to favourite it, I know its not mastodons problem because this never happens on chrome like, idk what the safari team did recently, but you can def notice how it breaks sites when you keep the tabs open, steve jobs is rolling in his grave!!

   I'm learning swift to implement on-device translations, hashtag and alt-text suggestions! don't worry, kotlin is next 😎 When it comes to adding features like these, I draw the line at on device processing when possible. Privacy is fundamental, and I'm only willing to implement features like this if they can be implemented using native apis, we will never use ChatGPT or 3rd party APIs period.  This song is stuck in my head, on repeat all night 🔥 Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay @dansup @pixelfed Can’t log into pixelfed.social using @vernissage Is it related to this?

@dansup @pixelfed What about the ability to keep people from boosting your posts? 🤔
