✋ **Un sito senza pubblicità è ancora possibile?**
Abbiamo scelto di non usare ads, trackers o recensioni pilotate. Per parlare di videogiochi in libertà, senza algoritmi che decidono cosa è "contenuto di qualità".

»Aufruhr in der Türkei–Dutzende für Beiträge in sozialen Netzen festgenommen:
In der Türkei häufen sich Proteste gegen die Festnahme des aussichtsreichsten Konkurrenten von Staatschef Erdoğan. Die Behörden gehen rigide gegen Kritik vor.«
Wenn ihr auch sonst weltweit sehen wollt, wie und wo das Internet zugelassen oder/und geblockt wird, ist @netblocks im Allgemeinen detailliert informatiev.

The early web was a wild, experimental playground. Hand-coded personal websites, bizarre niche forums, and communities driven by passion instead of profit. GeoCities pages, webrings, and weird Flash experiments made the internet feel like an uncharted frontier, where creativity thrived and users had real control.
Now, it's a sanitized, ad-driven wasteland. Social media giants dictate what we see, algorithms push engagement over exploration, and independent sites struggle to survive against walled gardens. The dream of a free and open internet has been swallowed by a handful of companies, turning the once-decentralized web into a corporate-controlled echo chamber.
The open web isn’t dead. It's just buried beneath algorithms and ads. Dig deeper.

Ich wurde nach einer einfachen und übersichtlichen Erklärung gefragt, "wie #Mastodon funktioniert". Ich habe mal nachgefragt, ob eher die User*innen-Sicht gemeint ist, oder auch technisches, aber ich gebe euch die Frage dennoch schonmal hier weiter. Wenn es was gutes gibt, super. Ansonsten werde ich vielleicht die Tage mal was anfangen zu schreiben dazu.
Talking about hunting trophies in the free as in #freeBeer #freeWeb of the #fediVerse @bitpickup?
I got a clean shot too, of a prominent reshare by @pluralistic .
😇
«Pixelfed im Test – Das kann die Instagram-Alternative:
Der Wandel von Mark Zuckerberg hat viele auf Instagram verärgert. Mit Pixelfed steht eine beachtliche Alternative bereit.»
Das Fedivers wird immer populärer, da viele Meta nun verlassen. Obwohl Mastodon bei den Medien so gut wie nie mehr erwähnt wird bekommt nun das @pixelfed seine Aufmerksamkeit.

@cobalt123 thx for the links and response @fedipete!
I read and commented on @pluralistic's latest take already. Truly sorry to tell you, but Cory and I defer in the evaluation about the main reasons why people are captive, (actually they only feel that they are captivated) and how to properly react.
So, as I got this for now, "captive userbase" is people that went into a room and are knocking on it's wide open door sobering that they have no other choice than being violated day and night inside that open door prison they feel captivated in.
- Cory considers my position unemphatic, I consider speaking truth to imprisoned minds the first step to enable them to free themselves.
- He considers to speak in favor of investing money to loosen their chains an act of mercy, I consider it an act of improving their chains and making them feeling free in their newly elected open door prison, prolonging and improving the locked in effect.
- He considers it useful and a smart move to speak in favor and putting his name on the line, same as @mmasnick does, investing money to create another open door in the new walled open door prison garden called #bluesky, I prefer to invest every cent to show them that the gate is open and that there are plentiful gardens out there in the free as in freedom #freeWeb called the #fediVerse we build and improve for them every day.
"Captive users" is synonym to self imprisoned masochists who actually love the masters house, their house.
Shall they live happily ever after in their self inflicted imagined algorithmic prison.
btw
I definitely had preferred a simple answer in your own words, I know how to google and search wikipedia, there are lot's of reasons to ask people directly, one without any doubt is:
Pause. It's not exactly that. It's #contributing to the #freeweb. I did some coding today but the important part was making sure it adds value to the cause and is accessible.
This is what #drivesme

If you're not on a non-#chromium browser like #firefox, #librewolf, etc. yet, it's time to be. #Google is phasing in #ManifestV3 and phasing out #ManifestV2. This is the latest in their long line of #enshittification, and it's only going to get worse while #Chrome has such a massive market share.
I've just contributed a little money to Servo, even though it's a long way from being in an end-user application. Their mission of building a truly independent and open web browser engine is important to me, and society IMO. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! https://opencollective.com/servo
