La multa UE a X svela il trucco dell'Ingegneria Sociale. Non è solo una sanzione economica. La decisione di Bruxelles contro la piattaforma di Elon Musk conferma i sospetti di milioni di utenti: dietro il caos dei bot e l'odio online c'è una "scatola nera" progettata non per la libertà, ma per il controllo. Il 5/12/ 25 segna una data storica per internet

#FreedomOfSpeech ≠ #FreedomOfReach sounds only infuriating to those who mistake #Fediverse #diversity for a distributed server infrastructure they're entitled to "use".
I've finally switched to DuckDuckGo. I can't stand how bad Google results have gotten.
I made an explicit search for my own obscure website and it was well below all the payola "SEO" bullshit. Simply typing the name produced the desired result in DDG.
I know it's not perfect, but the other products are unusable.

We can't (and shouldn't) bring back the old, good internet.
We can (and must!) make a NEW, good internet.

Interested in GitHub's Copilot, imagining it will open programming doors? @doctorow shows bright and clear how this will slowly transition to a locked-in "enshittified" programming world controlled by Microsoft.

The online debate over #FreeSpeech *suuuuucks*, and, amazingly, it's *getting worse*. This week, it's the false dichotomy between #FreedomOfSpeech and #FreedomOfReach, that is, the debate over whether a platform should override your explicit choices about what you want to see:

There is a good solid reason Search is the way it is. And it is for your own good.
The concept here is that #FreedomOfReach doesn't mean how far away can you reach people, it is the opposite. It means you have the freedom to decide who can reach you.
Lots of mastodon rules are hard won, and they boil down to Consent.

There is a difference here we didn't have in 1993 or 2008: this time it is open source decentralized hubs using an open standards protocol in an era of cheap bandwidth and folks have access through a ubiquitous hand held device.
Gog from Magog (barbarians at the gates) isn't doomsday, it's bloomsday, HCE (Hear Comes Everybody) because those Other Folks can have their own federation.
Here, #FreedomOfReach is about me controlling what reaches me, not who I can reach.
#ElonMusk about #FreedomOfSpeech vs #FreedomOfReach.
I don't see another way but putting a softlock on #musktwitter
In plain English:
Without his $8 subcription the platform will become irrelevant to use in terms of reach

We're back to Hume: what does 'tolerance' or 'intolerance' mean? Ask 20 people, you get 20 answers. Does it mean laissez faire? Does it mean hunt down and genocide?
Or does it mean don't bring that stuff in here? And don't sell them airtime that then gets thrust in my face as an advert...
Repression doesn't work. Historically it backfires. On the other hand, good fences make good neighbours.
One issue #fediverse solves is #FreedomOfReach 😉
One of my favourite features of mastodon is how you can switch from public to group to private within a thread, so a personal aside and its follow-ups need not be broadcast, but the context is retained. #FreedomOfReach also means freedom to control your reach.
Way back, way way back, we had this long-lived largely-civil distributed open social network called #Usenet that offered its own guidelines, many of which targeted #FreedomOfReach to contain flamewars.
Not that it worked, but it's the thought that counts
