I never really got on with #Twitter / #X. And while I know it's controversial to say in some corners here, there’s quite a bit I admire about #ElonMusk.
That said, I still prefer the grounded, algorithm-free vibe of #Mastodon and the broader #Fediverse.

Here, Elena Rossini explains Why and How she is purging #BigTech out of her life. While she readily admits she is not totally free of it, she has gone a long way. She has a blog where she talks about her journey to #Freedom from #Technofeudalism and calls out the hypocracy of some #TechWriters along the way。
“I watched a brilliant TED Talk by journalist Carole Cadwalladr about the broligarchy titled “this is what the digital coup looks like.” Shortly thereafter I discovered that Cadwalladr is using Substack (the Nazi-friendly newsletter platform funded by the broligarchs at A16Z) for her blog; her social media platform of choice is Bluesky (funded by crypto bros at Blockchain Capital). Sadly Cadwalladr has no social profiles on the Fediverse and isn’t using - as far as I know - any FOSS platforms to publish her reporting. This feels incredibly incongruous.”
It’s well worth a read. And for those still ‘fenced in’ by commercial social platforms, she offers hope and some ways to ditch them.
Personally, My tie to #TechBros #oligarchy is Gmail (though not for much longer as I am mostly migrated off). Otherwise, I’m on Signal and an Australian hosted mail server (until that one starts getting ideas I won’t agree with). My blog is about to transfer to a platform based in Australia for less $$ (of @shlee fame - I’m gettting there Shlee! Https://enhancecp.9fives.online) and getting off WordPress hosting (I’ll be using a #cpanel equiv #EnhanceDotNet.). My #Microsoft days are numbered with #LinuxMint on my other laptop ready to take over very soon. I’m still tied to Apple with my iPad (tooting away on it atm). My mobile is an old & cheap #Android device. My browser is #LibreWolf. My mail client is #Thunderbird .
Best thing that ever happened to me was to find out about the #Fediverse. I’ve never looked back from this, only forward.
I’m not going to lie, there is a cost to bear. I have lost digital links to all my friends and family (some overseas). But I’ve managed to keep those closest to me via other means (Face-to-face, phone calls, SMS, emails and Signal for those using it). Bottom line is, If am I going to #Rage against #TechBros, I should walk the talk as Elena Rossini is doing. So should you IMO.

Here's how my life works now.
I don't trust the Washington Post but I trust @Nonilex.
I don't trust the New York Times but I trust @GottaLaff.
I think about my recent experiences with #Debian and #Inkscape and #LibreOffice and I realize that it's all connected to one overwhelming personal truth:
I trust the #Fediverse.

@mspro hey, mich würd jetzt ja interessieren was für ne Generation Du bist, aber #fediverse ist ja bekannt für Privatsphäre und zu denen die aus einem aktuellen? Profilfoto Dein #alter lesen können gehör ich nicht mehr. Benutzt Du den *** nicht, ich nehm immer #perplexity_ai , oft auch anonym, las aber auch schon die seien schlimmer als #google und das will wohl was heissen?

Is it possible to get an RSS feed of all posts that @mention you? On Mastodon or any other fediverse app.
If so, I was wondering if a Nostr or BlueSky app could follow that RSS feed, and ingest the posts to add them to your notifications there. But to do that it would have to be able to identify itself as an agent approved by the owner of that fediverse account.
Could this be a use case for the AP C2S API or a vNext?
