Beware of "#Loops". It is not an "alternative" now that #TikTok is under fire. There are serious issues with it that let me doubt this project is handled with professionalism and integrity.
Context:

Background and evidence:

I will stop recommending #Pixelfed, too, by the same developer. Very disappointing events, but having witnessed the developer's behaviors, the handling of Loops was the last straw.

Save the #videos.
Save the #photos.
Save all the #evidence.
To storage media that you own, not to social media platforms that are just waiting to delete it, under whatever pretense is looking convenient to them.
[Update: if you take photos or videos, see my reply to this for some hints on integrating verifiable, linkable details to your media]

[#]TeamRobert spricht mir in der Email von gestern mal wieder richtig aus der Seele, so voller Empörung 💯💯💯:
»die AfD verteilt sogenannte “Abschiebetickets” im Netz und sogar in Briefkästen. Das soll Menschen Angst machen. Das macht unsere Gesellschaft kaputt.
Deutschland ist vielfältig und unser Grundgesetz unterscheidet nicht in Bürger*innen erster und zweiter Klasse«
Nur damit das klar ist: Roberts Abschiebetickets für Syrerinnen machen GARNIX kaputt, das sind ja gar keine Bürgerinnen!!! Und wie Robert sagt: demnächst MÜSSEN die halt wieder raus. Außer natürlich, sie arbeiten für uns, da wollen wir mal nicht so sein.

An interview with Albina #AbuSafiya, wife of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the abducted director of #KamalAdwan #Hospital at #BeitLahiya in #Gaza. Having been detained in the #SdeTeiman military base, he's been transferred to Ofer Prison near Ramallah.
The @Bundesregierung refuses to demand the release of Dr. Abu Safiya, whom #Israel tried to kill several times.
»The Israeli army was deliberately targeting Hussam. [In the days leading up to his injury,] they bombed his office, and when he moved to meet with doctors on the hospital stairs, they fired a bomb there.
On Nov. 23, 2024, they fired a sound bomb [from a drone] into the room he was in. He was unable to leave the room quickly enough, and the bomb exploded and injured his thigh. But there was no specialized doctor to treat him, so the medical staff gave him simple first aid and some painkillers. He continued his work using a crutch for a while. He was thinking about the patients, companions and displaced people in the hospital.«

I'm getting tired of pompous "initiatives", "foundations", and "movements" trying to funnel folks (or their money) from the #Fediverse into #BlueSky, after their attempts at opening the gates for #Meta's #Threads were rewarded by #Zuckerberg with another "dumb fucks", straight to their faces.
Here's relieving news: you don't need to be granted absolution. Just dwell BlueSky and be happy.
No need to pretend you were anti-#billionaire revolutionaries now, after kissing their rings didn't end well, for you.
No need to pretend you were interested in #decentralization, sort of, maybe.
No need to ask for #donations so you can underpin your self-delusion by throwing millions of dollars at meaningless, pro-forma infrastructure elements.
No need for your Potemkin villages showcasing "founders" and "boards", as if the same old handful of serial proselytizers were actually spearheading millions.

A long, bitter summary of how #traveling and #privacy have become mutually exclusive:
»#PNR records are sent by most commercial #airlines to the destination country some 48 to 72 hours before departure. […] the traveler’s #address, cell #phone number, date of flight #booking, where the ticket was purchased, credit card and other #payment information, billing address, #baggage information, frequent flyer information, general remarks related to the passenger, date of intended travel, complete travel #itinerary, names of accompanying travelers, travel agency information […]
[on face scanning:] “Everybody should be able to go out of his own country and into any country and come back without having to queue in line and being able to use only his #face,” […]
[on "AI":] “They're kind of black boxes, so they will tell you that this person is potentially risky and this person kind of looks different, but how it makes this decision is kind of a mystery.” […]
[on gray surveillance:] the company’s “risk assessment capability enables a government to export its border to every single point on the globe where passengers can board flights, ships or trains bound for their territory.”«

I have deliberately removed all follower accounts located at mastodon.social (around 130, IIRC) from this account, because growing follower numbers do not matter to me.
Should some of them return, I'll ask them to switch to a different instance. Because I'll repeat this, from time to time.

[#]TeamRobert bringt es in seiner neuesten Email an mich auf den Punkt: Plakate ordert man heute bequem zuhause am PC! 🦥 Städte und Dörfer gehören damit vollgepflastert! 🪧🪧🪧 Und es gibt dagegen keine Adblocker! 🖕
Für mich der Inbegriff von 🟩 Grün 2025 🟩 – ich werde gleich mal spenden und hoffe, Ihr tut das auch ganz fleißig:
»bist Du auch am Sonntag in einer Stadt oder einem Dorf voller Wahlplakate aufgewacht? Das liegt daran, dass viele Freiwillige in ganz Deutschland damit begonnen haben, unseren Botschaften die besten Plätze zu sichern. Möchtest Du ihnen dabei helfen und dafür aber nicht in die Kälte? Dann buche Dir Dein Großflächenplakat bequem vom PC aus.
Wahlplakate scheinen ein kleiner Teil eines Wahlkampfs zu sein, aber sie sind oft wichtiger, als man denkt. Man kann sie nicht skippen, wegklicken oder abbestellen.«

If tonight's internal votes of the government of #Israel on the deal with #Hamas are positive, a fragile period begins:
»The deal would involve a six-week initial #ceasefire phase, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, the release of hostages held by Hamas and the release of Palestinian detainees held by Israel.«
I hope the ceasefire will allow for a substantial, immediate increase of #humanitarian #aid brought into #Gaza, and for a fast release of all #hostages and #detainees.
Also, for securing and documenting as much #evidence as possible, before it is gone, deliberately destroyed, or becomes inaccessible, again.

[#]TeamRobert reißt mich total mit, in ihrer Mail von heute:
»Überall im Land wollen die Menschen die Grünen live erleben und Eure Stimmung reißt uns von Halt zu Halt mit. Ob vor Ort oder online – alle, die teilnehmen, spüren: Hier geht es um Politik, die von der breiten Bevölkerung getragen wird und um eine gemeinsame Gestaltung der Zukunft.«
So viel "Joy!" hab ich zuletzt nur vor Kamalas Wahlsieg gesehen, da kann man mal sehen, was alles möglich ist, wenn man Spaßbremsen wie #Gaza konsequent nur bei ihrem echten Namen nennt, "humanitäre Notlage"!
»Robert zieht eine Woche nach Auftakt der Wahlkampftour Zwischenbilanz. Das wollen wir Dir nicht vorenthalten! Schau Dir an, warum diese Woche wie keine andere war.«
Das gebe ich natürlich gerne weiter - verstehe die Bemerkung leider noch nicht so ganz, Roberts tatkräftiges Mitanpacken hat doch seit vielen Wochen dieselbe, beeindruckende Wirkung:

» Industrievertreter plädieren häufig dafür, #PFAS nach einem "risikobasierten" Ansatz zu regulieren. Dabei wird jede Substanz einzeln geprüft und nur dann verboten, wenn bewiesen ist, dass sie giftig ist, das Erbgut beeinträchtigt oder anderweitig schädliche Wirkungen zeigt. Diese Vorgehensweise hat jedoch bislang dazu geführt, dass oftmals die regulierten PFAS durch andere, sehr ähnlich noch unregulierte der etwa 10.000 PFAS ersetzt wurden.
Jede einzelne dieser Chemikalien zu analysieren, um über ein Verbot zu entscheiden, wäre jedoch extrem zeitaufwändig. "Das würde Jahrhunderte dauern.«

Seriously, @pluralistic now trying to help raise 30 million dollars to make "BlueSky's underlying tech (the AT protocol) fully resistant to billionaire capture"?
To compensate for it's dependency on an ultra-expensive, centralized #relay, by building and maintaining a second, equally expensive one?
That's probably the "credible exit" that VC-funded BlueSky was dreaming of. Budgeted by donations.
Ok, "freeourfeeds": My feeds are already free here.
An instant classic of a monster blog post on why #BlueSky can't become truly decentralized, by @cwebber [*]:
https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
[*] Please note the author of that blog post has taken a much friendlier stance towards BlueSky than I have. I'm not implying or even suggesting they'd support mine.

When talking to friends, let them know that maintaining an account on the #Fediverse, and building a #community there is reasonable, especially when #fascism is on the rise.
Right now, it's probably time for real talk, more than for cartoon explainer videos.

Remember this when governments issue pompous statements about "combating radicalization", after terror attacks.
Radicalization comes from terror development programs like this one: ostentatiously spitting international law straight into the face, while pretending to believe in it and expecting everybody else to applaud this charade:
[#]Tusk:
»It is also very important for us that #Poland is not among those countries that openly and demonstratively want to disregard the decisions of international tribunals«
Well, Poland now IS among those countries.

[#]TeamRobert schreibt mir Besorgniserrregendes über #SocialMedia:
»dafür müssen wir jetzt alles geben! Deshalb ist unser nächster Neujahrsvorsatz, Desinformation keinen Raum zu geben und online eine starke Präsenz zu zeigen. Elon #Musk greift mit seinem enormen Reichtum und seiner Kontrolle über Plattformen und KI unsere Demokratie an. Mark #Zuckerberg will Faktenchecks beenden. Damit bleiben in den USA Postings, die bewusst täuschen, verschleiern oder Verschwörungstheorien bedienen, künftig ohne Einordnung stehen. Das schadet unserem gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt und unserer Demokratie. Es ist daher unerlässlich, dass wir uns effektiv gegen Desinformationskampagnen und ausländische Einflussnahme wehren können. Dagegen anzukommen benötigt aber finanzielle Mittel.«
Ich finde es toll, dass Robert jetzt NOCH HÄRTER auf Musks Plattform postet, um ihr weiter Reichweite und Relevanz wegzunehmen, durch seine STARKE PRÄSENZ! 💪👍👏
Gleich mal spenden, wir brauchen daneben auch unbedingt noch Anzeigen auf Facebook und Insta, um vor Meta zu warnen.

I've unfollowed @eff . With their post welcoming #Meta's changes of moderation policies, and only later backpedaling, they've crossed a red line.
For the second time, after their support for #KiwiFarms.
This organization badly lacks an ethical compass, and is provenly willing to throw the LGBTQ+ community under the bus.
