In Feldenkirchens #spitzengespräch zum Thema Regulierung von #Socialmedia vergleicht der Lobbyist Sascha #Lobo die Wirkmacht eines Social-media-Verbots mit einem gesetzlichen Zähneputzgebot für Kinder. Auch sonst war das Gespräch Schrott. Gelegentliche Argumente wurden von Vertreterinnen der Gen Z, die sich nur schwer auf die Problematik des #Kinderschutz einlassen konnten, genervt mit den Augenweggerollt. Insgesamt viel gehetzte Empörung, sehr wenig Substanz. Enttäuschend.

If anyone’s interested, I’m continuing to update my post on the Aus Teen Social Media Ban as I find new resources (including some early reports of impacts). You can find it here: https://rlok.notion.site/Australia-s-Teen-Social-Media-Ban-is-a-Disaster-2c759d1e5585801a99b3efbdc265ef6e

I am Not Migrating Back To IRC
So, with this whole Discord surveillance age verification situation, I am seeing lots of talk on every social media platform, including Discord ironically, about moving back to IRC. I am not going back to IRC. Though, I do not really have a valid interest in it, because I use Discord just to monitor occult cults and extremist groups, lol. So, it is not like I would be really displaced, anyway. I would just need to figure out a new exploit or hack.
I’m a Computational Biologist, so I am half in Biology and half in software engineering. I tend to look at technology and evolution as analogous to one another. Software, dynamical systems, and evolution are analogous. Evolution functions like a survivorship process: lineages that leave more descendants become more represented over time. In this process, drift, mutation, recombination, and migration all perturb the system. It’s a stochastic dynamical system.
Speciation is a change under isolation. Once gene flow is cut off, divergence accumulates. Eventually, compatibility breaks, creating a divergence, a fork. You can think of it in a version control system like this: you stop merging upstream commits. You accumulate independent changes, and at some point the codebases are no longer interchangeable.
With evolution, even when traits resemble ancestral forms, they arise through new mutations in the current system. It’s a forward, not backward, branch. So from an evolutionary and software engineering perspective, progress happens by forking and optimizing what exists. That means you will not get progress by trying to migrate everyone back to legacy infrastructure.
I’m not migrating to IRC because it is not progress or evolution. It is technologically regressive. Regressive attitudes are why we are essentially in a weird industrial, cyberpunk version of the 1930s now. Hoping old-school forums make a comeback and that everyone migrates back to IRC is a technological and societal regression. It’s the same nostalgia-driven impulse that MAGA rides on. It’s not evolutionary. It’s backward.
Currently, I am on Matrix, albeit I use it more or less for bridge and puppeteer bot purposes. To me, it’s like going back to using muskets when everyone else is using AK-47s. The solution is not to make more regressive pieces of technology. They are least effective when you are essentially in a guerrilla, stochastic war with your own fascist government.

Sharing
I always share a lot. About my (daily) life, pictures, texts, videos at times... I know that people can use these things against me. But I also know that, growing up before the internet became this big thing, people knew how to use things against others then as well. I've been stalked, I've been beaten up on my way home, I've been bullied, things have been stolen from me... There was no internet, at least as we know it now. There were just people with bad intentions. And I guess that, however much, or little, you share, if they're out to get you... They will find a way, one way or another. Living off the grid is kinda hard to do these days, when money goes through the bank, when you need a registered place you call home, when you need to pay taxes, get groceries, use the internet for many occasions... I don't think you can really hide that easily these days. And that made me wonder... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/sharing/

“Do we want a technology that normalizes and amplifies deception? That transforms privacy into a commodity? A society where a techno-oligarch can interfere, as one of them did yesterday, in the mobile phones of millions of citizens to tell them lies?” the prime minister asked last week. “The answer must be a clear no, and we will not give in.”
