The Social Web Foundation ?!

Quand j’ai rejoint le Fediverse en 2019, parler de décentralisation, de fédération et de logiciel libre et ouvert au sujet des réseaux sociaux était encore loin des préoccupations de la majorité du public, sans rien dire de celles de la presse spécialisée. Depuis, beaucoup d’eau a coulé sous les ponts. […]

dip 045, “social”?

l'algoritmo di #Threads (forse il peggior social in cui mi sia imbattuto) sembra perfino più demenziale di quello di #facebook o di #twitter: deve in qualche modo creare una specie di mare magnum in cui tutti perdono tutti. per non parlare del sistema del "repost", che funziona con #wordpress e che mi permette di ripostare (appunto) in automatico i materiali che escono su…

It's kinda funny how one person's clever hack (#Unicode ZWJ sequences) can lead to anger and misinformation down the line.

Here, for whatever reason, ZWJ sequences were breaking over on #Threads and users immediately assumed anti-trans malice on the part of the platform.

It's easy to understand WHY someone would assume that in the current climate, but we've got to be careful to rule out other explanations before throwing confident accusations around. (This goes for me, too, btw.)

EDIT: Apparently it was fixed for them at some point. No doubt responded with something along the lines of "they heard our anger and feared us so they restored it!" or some such. ;)

Als #ContentCreator of Mitarbeiter in #Marketing oder #CorporateCommunications ist die Motivation eine andere. Ich sehe aus der Ecke immer wieder die Haltung, dass #bluesky oder #threads mehr Reichweite haben.
Mit so einer Haltung wird aber die Community ausgenutzt. Da muss jede(r) entscheiden wie gut sie das finden. Und ich sehe natürlich auch die Content Creators, die sich ehrlich in der Community engagieren, aber auch davon leben müssen.

先談談 Open Data Day Taiwan 2025 活動的資訊發布管道跟時程:
Open Data Day Taiwan 2025 的活動資訊主要公布在 Meta-wiki 以及公開的 Hackmd 頁面上面;活動公開報名資訊則是在 #KKTIX#Beclass 都有開設公開的報名頁面;活動資訊頁面則是在 #Facebook 上面設有公開的活動頁面,活動資訊主要則透過 #Mastodon (liker.social)、Facebook ,次要平台則是透過 #Wikidata#Youtube

此外,許多 Open Data Day Taiwan 2025 的主協辦單位也都有在 Facebook 、 #Instagram 以及 #Threads 上張貼活動的訊息,不過也僅限於這幾個社群網站而已。在資訊轉貼時,我們也都盡可能使活動資訊內一定有連結,連回 Meta-wiki 以及 #Hackmd 頁面,報名則主要導向 KKTIX 頁面。

As opposition accounts on X are suspended in Turkey at this critical juncture in their political struggles (politico.eu/article/musks-x-su), perhaps now is a good time to encourage our friends here on #Threads and #Bluesky to at least have an escape plan. Pack a social media emergency go bag by creating a Mastodon/Fediverse account (joinmastodon.org/) and start using it, at least as a secondary platform.
