So if you use Matrix I just opened a small "Luddites Unite" Channel on my Matrix Server. Dunno what it will become yet but setting up a "Luddite Slack" felt like it was the dumbest thing on the planet.

The mask comes off at LWN, as *two* editors (jake and *corbet*) dive in to frantically defend the honour of Justine fucking Tunney against multiple people pointing out she's a Nazi who fills her projects with racist dogwhistles
the sheer audacity of Jake replying:
>> I certainly don't go around personally vetting the beliefs of every maintainer of software I use against my own.
> Right. And we don't either.
Yer a journalist, Jake. You *should* be vetting the people you're doing an article on, ffs. It's literally your job.

#EUSolidarity means standing together when it matters most.
After Spain activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism in response to devastating floods, Portugal and France swiftly stepped in to help.
🤝 Over 150 team members and 60 vehicles joined forces with Spanish authorities, working tirelessly to clear streets of debris, pump out water and mud, remove vehicles, and transport rubble.
When we work together, we are stronger.
Una pregunta que se me ocurre para quien sepa de metodología de encuestas o demografía:
Teniendo en cuenta que sabemos que la opinión política, salvo en el caso de activistas, es mutable y débilmente sostenida (aunque sea extrema) ¿hasta que punto preguntar por un tema en una encuesta le va a dar una saliencia que cambie la posición del encuestado?
Ejemplo práctico: si preguntamos a una población objetivo por los problemas que más les preocupan, y metemos la inmigración en la lista, ¿estamos sólo midiendo, o también induciendo a esa preocupación?

Can we please retire the myth that there is “no engagement” in the Fediverse?
Exhibit A: this badge from #Ivory showing the activity in my account over the past 22 hours — 344 notifications (likes, boosts, follows, replies).
I was on Twitter 1.0 for 14 years, had 4x as many followers on my personal account and never ever had these many interactions. Why?
The damn Big Tech algorithms penalizing my posts whenever I shared links.
I LOVE the Fediverse and its chronological feeds ❤️
I remember exactly the "revelation" in 2020, when I had on Mastodon (account of a few months) half the followers of Twitter (account of 10 years) and yet I had double the interactions and even more reactions...
