For all the talk of Mastodon being better about harassment it doesn’t seem like it has any features ppl who deal w/ tons of harassment have been asking Twitter for:
* Mass blocking capabilities
* Ability to block/limit anyone who likes a specific post or follows a specific person
* Ability to see only notifications from mutuals, etc.

Can you even limit ur replies to mutuals only on here? Doesn’t seem like you can?

By way of #introductions: I am 57-year-old Australian father living in #Berlin.

I have a doctorate in psychology, and have worked both inside and outside academia over the last 20 years (in Los Angeles, Boson, London, Berlin).

Nowadays, I am mostly involved in looking after my two children—Lucy 7.5, and Valentin 1.7.

I am interested in #green #progressive #politics, #science, #technology, #books (#scifi #non-fiction), #photography.

I look forward to meeting some like-minded people here.


I wrote an article on #css layers. It's as condensed as possible as all the other guides I saw were over 6000 words. I have #ADHD, that's not gonna work.

So, less than 800 words on this new "feature". What, how and why.

There is a nice infographic in this article explaining how the global COVID-19 tracking app could work but they missed a few things. Here is revised and improved variant 😀


Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection | BBC News


Europe's data protection watchdog has called for a single coronavirus app to be used across the EU, instead of every country making its own.
Several countries are developing tracking apps, but privacy advocates warn of the dangers they might pose.
The European Data Protection Supervisor says a single EU app with strong data protection built in is the best solution to the coronavirus pandemic.

'Spy pixels in emails have become endemic' | BBC News

The use of "invisible" tracking tech in emails is now "endemic", according to a messaging service that analysed its traffic at the BBC's request.

Hubzilla (Facebook alternative) is the only social network to have a protocol allowing you to clone your account elsewhere for backup, redundancy, or migration



Is an open secure instant messaging protocol not what is needed to allow any messaging app to communicate with any other, and to break the monopoly of Big Tech?



It's undoubtedly ironic that a text about the global loss of control would be posted on Medium of all places, and it unwittingly contributes to the points made in the article itself.

@Hypolite Petovan "Any advanced #technology is indistinguishable from #magic. " That is his most famous quote. Alongside maybe another one, but that is not relevant here: "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the #Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
