On Twitter #MattMullenweg just reaffirmed that #ActivityPub or #Fediverse support for #Tumblr is absolutely in active development now, planned for next year.

I’m seeing some about the fediverse along the lines of “we welcome our new venture capitalist and Big Tech overlords… what could possibly go wrong?”

What could possibly go wrong? Oh, I don’t know… take a look at the whole damn web. Take a look at email. Take a look at any resource that was part of the commons but was enclosed/captured by corporate interests. Read up on embrace, extend, and extinguish.

Everything Mike says.

This is it folks - there is a chance, I fear might be one of the last remaining ones, to move away from concentration and centralisation. @mmasnick

So, remember how Twitter shut down Twitter Blue after a couple days, and spent weeks revamping it to solve the "impersonation" problem?

About that...

“I hope a lot that government will not only promote the encryption but will make it even more encrypted than it is now.”

Hear from people living in Ukraine, on how end-to-end encryption is vital for keeping themselves and their loved ones safe in times of war. A film by Global Encryption Coalition.

I wrote about how I cannot understand why anyone is interested in joining a new centralized social media platform when we now have a great opportunity to move to protocols instead of platforms. https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/21/why-would-anyone-use-another-centralized-social-media-service-after-this/

If this is true than it really exposes the #tyrant and now #liar #Elon 'Free speech" #Musk.
This is what a #journalist writes about being banned and locked out of #twitter
"My suspension lasted just a few days before my account was reinstated. When people visit my Twitter profile, it no longer says “account suspended,” and it looks as if I’m back on the platform. Friends and strangers alike have reached out to me saying it’s good to see that I’m back on Twitter. It’s an illusion.
In reality, I’m still locked out of my Twitter account unless I agree to delete a specific tweet.
We call that censorship and blackmail.

NEW: Apparently another woman was kicked out of Madison Square Garden, at a #BrandiCarlile concert, because of #facialrecognition

I spoke with @RollingStone about why @team is calling for a ban on all use of #facialrecognition and #biometric #surveillance in places of public accommodation. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/madison-square-garden-face-scan-1234650989/

I find it hilarious that a whole bunch of people are now claiming that Techdirt (TECHDIRT!), who has been screaming about FBI overreach for two and a half decades... is obviously an FBI front, or paid off by the FBI, because of our post yesterday showing that the FBI was not, in fact, paying Twitter to censor stories about Hunter Biden.
