Good morning Mastodon! We're delighted to be here. If you're meeting us for the first time, we're the UK's leading cross-party advocacy group upholding internationalist values. Check us out at bestforbritain.org!
We talk about #ukpolitics #brexit #internationalrelations #politics #democracy #elections #costofliving #UK #education #law
@bestforbritain Sounds good, are you up for advocating smaller tech, e.g what we have here, a move away from big tech towards a more ethical model e.g free and open source software. ?
I agree, I am on Twitter but less and less) too, and this is very useful for promoting alternatives.
@bestforbritain @zleap It's fair enough, we are still on Twitter, but it's ever becoming a right wing hell hole!!
It will get worse if they get rid of even some moderation and restores what they call free speech as there will be less escape from it.
Shame our UK government is such as a pathetic shambles otherwise we could have the online safety bill law by now.
@zleap Hi Paul, absolutely - one of our core principles is the use of technology for good. A lot of which demands the technology itself to be built on a more ethical model. That said, a lot of our online work requires reaching the most people we possibly can, to promote voter registration or draw attention to dangerous legislation. So: delighted to be here, will support this kind of tech as much as we can, but must be pragmatic about use of other sites too for now!
