If you want to watch my #FediDay talk live tomorrow, I’m on at 12:00 🙈

Now on my way to Berlin. I can’t wait!

And next Saturday at @nprofile1q... I will share Fediverse stories from last year that inspired me…. Giving a big shout out to @nprofile1q... and his projects #FediMeteo and #LittleFedi.

#Fedinception 😆

Earlier this week I unsubscribed from #1Password and moved to #Bitwarden... due to their donation of 300k to DHH's #Omarchy.

I made sure to let them know about the reason, so that hopefully the company would notice those kind of decisions have an impact.

Day one I got messages from their AI system.

But today I got a response by a real human at 1Password (or so it appears).

If you are curious about the company's official response to the backlash, check out the screenshot (and/or #AltText)

Oh happy day! 🎊

To be fair, 166 billion dollars would have been fairer, but I'm ok with this too, over the usual joke of a fine.

And join @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... & me in Belval on October 7th 🚀

Surprising good news from 🇫🇷 !

"France's Constitutional Council strikes down social media ban for under-15s"

"In its decision, the Constitutional Council raised concerns about the possible impact on privacy from instituting an age-verification system for all users."

Wow! I was not expecting this at all.

#privacy #AgeVerification #France

Shots were fired... in German, because when a mainstream TV station runs a 2 minute commercial for a teeny tiny dormant social network, which is a trojan horse for mandatory age verification, staying silent isn't an option.

If what attracts them to #WSocial is their 24k users, well, #Eurosky has the same but much much livelier activity.

So when is tagesschau planning to cover Eurosky? Or - dare I say - the FEDIVERSE with its millions of accounts?

@nprofile1q... Liebe Tagesschau,
gestern habt ihr einen Beitrag über #WSocial ausgestrahlt, der einige irreführende Informationen über den Stand des Netzwerks enthielt (https://mu.social/profile/ingmar.wsocial.eu/post/3msssn5n4mk2c). Darin hieß es: „Nach Angaben des Unternehmens nutzen bereits 20.000 Menschen das Netzwerk.“ Tatsächlich haben sich zwar 23k Menschen für ein Konto registriert, aber nur 2.072 Personen haben jemals einen Beitrag oder eine Antwort veröffentlicht. 67 % der Konten haben 0 Abonnements, 0 Follower und 0 Beiträge

Good morning Fedi friends!

A routine reminder that @nprofile1q... has a #Fediverse track this year: you can submit your proposals for talks up to August 23rd.

Apply here:
