Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Vieles ist auch gut geworden. Als ich 2019 meinen #Facebook - Account löschte, galt dies noch als so fresh, dass es in den #heute - Nachrichten kam! 🤓👇

Inzwischen ist die Abkehr von antisozialen #Konzernmedien ein Trend, #Medienethik & #Medienbildung boomen & ich unterstütze den #DigitalIndependenceDay (kurz #DiD) nach @marcuwekling 🙏🇩🇪🇪🇺👍!

Wünsche allen einen guten #Rosch & freue mich aufs #Fediverse auch in 2026! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/warum-ich-facebook-und-instagram-verlasse-gedanken-zur-medienethik/

„Betrieben werden offizielle Auftritte auf Facebook und Instagram unter dem Accountnamen @feuerwehr.mainz. Ergänzend wird ein WhatsApp Kanal für die Krisenkommunikation eingerichtet“

Also Kriseninformationen wieder nur über Social Media Plattformen von Meta 🙄

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before.

Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated.

Am I supposed to feel sympathy when someone keeps all their data on a single platform's "free" services & then loses access arbitrarily and has no access to "their" data?

I can certainly join them in anger again the #platform but, there really needs to be more awareness of the risks of becoming so dependent on companies and the need to keep control of your #data.

Big Tech platforms routinely censor any mention of the #fediverse, so I've started designing, printing, and placing these stickers around town.

No idea if they get any scans, but I figure simply getting the word "fediverse" out there might raise the consciousness a little.

Any ideas for slogans that might pique the interest of facebook-addicted normies?

Edit: I'm so glad this post has gotten so much attention, because I think it's a good idea, and I'd love to see others run with it. I know nothing about making stickers and wouldn't have made these had I not been gifted a small toy printer with a few rolls of sticker paper. Hopefully someone out there can do a more professional job of it :)

The way that we often frame the question of privacy is wrong. Many ask "Do you have anything to hide?" when the question should really be "Do you have anything to show?"

Do you have anything you desperately want to show the government, corporations, random strangers, and your worst enemies?

The answer might sometimes be yes, but truly think how often you're begging for these entities to have such personal data. I'm going to take a bet and say that for most things, the answer will be that you're not. For each of those things you don't desperately want these entities to see, you need to seriously consider your privacy.

Why FLOW Matters in Your Digital Life.

The Problem:
Most of the tech you use every day is controlled by #corporations—closed, #proprietary, and designed to lock you in. Think #Facebook, #iPhone, or #Adobe software: you can’t see how they work, you can’t modify them, and you’re often the #product, not the #user.

@macacator

and #socialMedia allowed the ignorant and bigoted shitbags to organize and to take over the joint to an extent not seen in a long time

and the last time they did, it was the same reason: new #communication #technology, the #radio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksempf%C3%A4nger

germans called it the Goebbels-Schnauze: " #Goebbels' snout"

and today we have #twitter, #facebook, #tiktok, etc

same phenomenon, same effect: #fascism
