❌ Big Techs like Musk's X do not need to own the monopoly.

✅ Luckily there are better Twitter alternatives.

👉🏼 In today's guide we take a look at the best ones so that you can say NO to big tech.

Bravo à #AnnePernelleRichardot, l'élue #Socialiste de #Strasbourg qui dénonce sur #X :

"Le prosélytisme de la municipalité Barseghian".

Oui c'est une atteinte à la #laïcité.

Et Oui c'est du clientélisme.

#BoualemSansal résume parfaitement bien les choses :

"La gauche a abandonné ses ouvriers, n'ayant rien à leur offrir. Elle est allée chercher un peuple de remplacement."

#X ist ein rechtsfreier Raum

Auf dem ehemaligen #Twitter kann man offenbar wirklich alles machen, ohne, dass man (in der #EU) belangt werden kann: #Hass, schwere #Beleidigungen, #Morddrohungen, ...

Alle Abkommen wie der #DigitalServiceAct, die da etwas anderes behauptet haben, sind wirkungs- und sinnlos. Wie so viele Abkommen mit den #USA.

Danke für's Durchspielen an den Anwalt Philipp Längle der Kanzlei Längle-Fussenegger-Singer in Dorbirn. 🙇

X ist ein rechtsfreier Raum

Warum es praktisch unmöglich ist, anonyme Hass-Postings auf X zu bekämpfen: Die Gesetze sind zu schwach, X ignoriert sie, zuständige Behörden verweigern die Arbeit. Ein Erfahrungsbericht in zehn Schritten.

EU - THX for stepping up for 🇺🇦

BREAKING: French satellite company Eutelsat is replacing Starlink and plans to send approximately 40,000 communication terminals to Ukraine. Their stock has rocketed 390% in the last 3 days as #Tesla $Starlink #SpaceX and #X continue their freefall. 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼

warum seit ihr eigentlich noch auf #Twitter #X oder #Facebook ???

ist das nicht langsam mal peinlich ???

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!

For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.

Help spread the word.

Social-Media-Alternativen: Bluesky, Signal & Co: Neustart ohne X und Meta

Sie hadern mit Elon Musks Kurznachrichtendienst X und sind auch nicht mehr glücklich mit all dem, was Mark Zuckerbergs Meta-Konzern anbietet? Kein Problem. Es gibt Alternativen.

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.


For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂

We would also like to #welcome all people joining us today! If you are switching over from #Twitter, #X, #Facebook, #Instagram: welcome into a truly federated social network.

While you've made the switch, consider also moving away from that other big corporation named #Google: a great alternative is #OpenStreetMap . There are many apps (such as @organicmaps or #osmand)

There are also a lot of maps about a specific topic. You can find a collection of them on mapcomplete.org

MapComplete - editable, thematic maps with OpenStreetMap

MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack

Los brasileños se adaptan a la vida sin X mientras migran en masa a Bluesky: “Acabo de entender que estaba enganchada a Twitter”.

Antes o después lo entenderán también los jueces. Muchos de ellos tendrán que desengancharse primero.

Lo malo es que antes o después se vendrán para acá.

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.

(He later deleted the tweet.)
