Did you just join us?
Welcome to Vivaldi Social, Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If you are coming from a place like X, Facebook or TikTok, this place is different. The good thing is that you only see things in your feed from people you follow. The content is shown reverse chronological.
This means that you will likely see a lot less misinformation, hate speech and AI crap.
But if you do not follow anyone, your feed will feel empty. So go ahead and find people and organizations that you like and follow them. Make things interesting. There is a lot of interesting people out there.
The search is great for finding content and who to follow. Hashtags are useful when searching as well.

Investing pension funds into Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies is not what I would call a safe investment. Are people aware that their funds are being invested this way?
This is a significant risk to financial stability.
Sorry about the article being in Icelandic, but I think a translation gets it about right.

So what is your primary transportation vehicle? I asked and you answered.
I guess there is not a lot of you flying to work, but in general there is a lot of variety. Nice to see so many of you walking, biking and using public transport!👍
A third of you mostly use a gas based car. Happy to see a lot of you driving EVs.
@ruario told me off for not including unicycles, so I will give that a mention this time. 😀
So what do I do? Like so many of you, I prefer to walk, bike and use public transport, but I still end up driving a lot. I mostly drive EVs.

During my time at Opera and now at Vivaldi, we have made a lot of browsers. I asked you which ones you had tried and you really had tried a lot of them:
There are likely quite a few you have not tried, though. Some of the others we made include:
Now my focus is on Vivaldi and we will continue to add stuff you like. Enjoy!

Roughly 18 months ago I had a small survey. I asked whether you would change a content algorithm you made if you found out it made people hate each other. Most of you said yes.
Since then things have sadly not improved. I have argued that we need to ban user profiling. That the cost outweigh any benefits. I really do not think there is any other way.

Mark Zuckerberg continues to show his colors. We need regulators to step up their efforts to ensure there is free competition and ban user profiling.

Time for a survey. 2nd try.
What is your primary transportation vehicle? Trying to include all relevant cases this time, but I am sure I left something out.

And I managed to leave out public transport. Well, that is embarrassing.

Facebook did not have an over-censorship problem. Facebook main problem was that its algorithms promote hate speech and disinformation, lately with the addition of inauthentic content. Fighting that through fact-checking is always going to be an uphill battle.
This is the reason I believe that content algorithms have no place in social media and that user profiling should be banned. Spreading misinformation and hate speech is a lot harder without the amplification algorithms.

Facebook promises even more misinformation and hate speech.
My Facebook feed was already full of it, so it is impressive that they believe they can make it worse.

Watching a football match there was marketing from Kraken to invest in Bitcoin. They compared Bitcoin to gold...
A lot of sport clubs are now sponsored by Crypto companies. At times players are in Crypto ads.
It is important that we speak up about the danger of Crypto. At Vivaldi we have.
Although it is possible to make gains from "investing" in Crypto, there is no inherent value. There is just a scam. The "value" can disappear any day.

Sync is up and running again. Sorry about how long it took to get it working again.
You will need to reenter your sync encryption password on all your devices. If you have forgotten it, just make a new one.

The Fediverse is unique.
My survey asked what your favorite search engine is.
51% said DuckDuckGo, 12% Startpage, 9% Ecosia and 4% Qwant. Only 6% said Google and 1% Bing. 17% said they preferred another search engine, with many mentioning Kagi and Mojeek.
This is quite different from what the market share out there is, which shows how unique you all are here in the Fediverse. You make your own choices and do not follow everyone else. Be proud.

A core part of every Crypto scam is the story. Quite often it is an elaborate one. It all started with the Bitcoin story, but others, such as DOGE, have their own stories. Quite often people will defend these stories as being true. All the other Crypto currencies and NFTs are a scam, but not this one. Some will just point at high valuations as indicators that it is not a scam, but rather it is just indicators of rather successful scams.
Whatever the story is, the results are the same. The damage done is not small. The idea that Crypto now uses more energy than many countries, when we should be conserving energy, is crazy.
We all have a choice when it comes to Crypto. I decided years ago not to get involved. If I had gotten involved, I would have made a bundle, but I would have been part of the problem and I did not want to do that.
Lets stay away from any products and services that include Crypto. Lets not support this "industry" in any way.
