Discovered a new corner of the #Fediverse that’s a lot less techy: @pixelfed.

I’ve got two accounts there: one mostly for dog pics (@everton137@pixelfed.social 🐶) and another for the #LeaveX campaign (@leavex).

I surely enjoy some tech and political discussions here, but every now and then it’s nice to take a breath of different air, so I’ll be hanging out on Pixelfed for a bit.

Got a few interactions yesterday and started exploring the vibe. And honestly, I’m loving it.

We need to be better at supporting these young academics who are being pointed this way.

We asked you if you'd go back to X if it had new ownership.

Of the 812 people who responded, 67% said no.

The future of social media IS the Open Social Web 🔒

Today, Amnesty International have shared their report into X's part in the UK 'Race Riots' last year.

Unsurprisingly, their findings highlighted that the design choices within X contributed to spreading of false claims and ultimately the violence we saw across the UK last year against Muslims and migrants following the murder of two young girls.

Please, take a look at the report here and share it with your friends who still, solely, use X.

At least for French politicians, we can soon ask them to stop using a porn website for their official communications. 😆

Excellent: EU race to rearm is pointless if hostile foreign powers can still use online algorithms to boost authoritarians to power across Europe. Europe’s new “Democracy Shield” should immediately shut them down.

And by staying on X, dear politician, you are also contributing to this disinformation platform.
