@fkamiah17 Facism has arrived! We were dismissed as scaremongers when we pointed to the signs the Tories were moving in this direction. The law is now whatever the UK Parliament says it is

@babe
Yeah, very much this.
I do find it cool that Fedi doesn't even require constant content generation, unlike most platforms that use weighted algorithms.
This works for me, because I go through flurries and dips in posting and finally no longer have to feel that I'm using the platform wrong.
I just follow many many cool people who post shiny things, some people follow me for (presumably) similar reasons, I post sometimes, reply sometimes and somehow it all works out without anyone bring de-prioritised for inactivity.

@rolle so many folks seem to have forgotten that the key part in social media is the bit where it's social. They all want to act like internet celebrities and quit as soon as they aren't showered with attention.

@rolle fairly certain that a person with enough followers, on any social network, could post "Have a nice weekend, everyone" and get blocked by at least one person for trying to dictate how they live their life.

Following the publication of the U.K. government's emergency legislation to deport refugees to Rwanda Sunder Katwala, Director of British Futures think tank, has retracted his former statement.
He says he was wrong to state that there was a million to one chance of planes taking off to Rwanda in the spring, as the government promised. He now says there isn't even a million to one chance of planes taking odd to Rwanda in the spring.

Some kind of media reports are certainly a problem, but the classification if someone is a trafficker is also done by politicians, governments and courts, and this is the real issue.

💥 BREAKTHROUGH? First quantum computer with a programmable processor based on encoded 48 logical qubits operating with up to 280 physical qubits, with error correction. Are we nearing the era of useful quantum computation? If this is real, maybe soon?
"These results herald the advent of early error-corrected quantum computation and chart a path toward large-scale logical processors."

Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).
There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox
Do it. Now.
– But I prefer Chrome because of…
If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.
Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.

It's the for-profit media, saving democracy isn't their job, profits are, keeping their jobs in for-profit companies is.
Saving democracy is our job. We've succeeded doing so in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2023. Now we need to do it again in 2024.
Sure, we should bark at the press to do better, but mostly we need to focus on growing our pro-democracy coalition.
