I #taser negli USA hanno ucciso più di mille persone. 9 su 10 erano disarmate. Una su quattro aveva problemi mentali. Grazie a #minniti oggi parte la sperimentazione in Italia. È una cosa delle cose più gravi accadute negli ultimi 20 anni sul fronte #repressione e #polizia. E da notare che salvini e il neonato governo di fasci non c'entrano ma è una eredità #pd
#FuckOffGoogle apparently made it as a popular hashtag, as bots are now spamming it! :) \o/
The biggest thing of #fediverse for me, is that it has "spaces" (instances) without having to tell a single big corporation that you are the same person in all of them (unlike e.g. FB/twitter) YET those those spaces can overlap/communicate freely (unlike forums).
*I feel it's much easier to be myself here*.
A big thank you to all the people who made this possible, devs of course, but also who brought ideas and designs, and early adopters.
Roma, anziani occupano il centro chiuso dal municipio sulla cassia
Prendere esempio!

Nella spiaggia che frequento in una settimana non ho ancora visto un "ambulante"
commercianti & bagnanti ora si sentiranno al sicuro, in pace... mi vien da pensare a quanto potrà durare questa sadica e atroce barzelletta del fatto che tutto è colpa di 'sti negri, quando, tra poco, non ce ne saranno più in giro toccherà veramente ad altri... Sino a dove si spingerà questa pulizia prima di rivelarsi l'illusione che è?
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
Why ActivityPub is the future
We often tout things like “Mastodon is based on open web protocols” as one of its advantages. I want to elaborate why exactly that’s a good thing.

Cose utili:
In Emilia-Romagna, donne di diverse categorie possono usufruire di mezzi anticoncezionali ed assistenza gratuiti.
Si spera che il progetto si estenda al resto della penisola.
Autodeterminazione, sicurezza, libertà di scegliere.
I just helped to stop #CensorshipMachines that would filter ALL of our online content. You too can help to #SaveYourInternet: http://d.shpg.org/420107097t Contact your EU representative before 4 July!
Happy Pride Month to all of you, especially if you can't wave your flag or haven't found it yet.
A new mastodon instance for the (english speaking) #OpenStreetMap community! It's under construction, but might be a nice place for #OSM people!

GNUsocial e Pleroma non sono comunità, come non lo è Mastodon. Sono software, usati da comunità diverse in contesti diversi. Mastodon non è intrinsecamente di sinistra come Pleroma non è intrinsecamente di destra. Il mio server gira su Pleroma ma non credo di essere nazi.
(ci sono istanze di merda che girano su Mastodon, per dire...)

New blog post: How to implement a basic ActivityPub server https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/
I need to rave about #Python.
One of my colleagues has deep knowledge about #GreenhouseGas calculations but doesn't write code, in any language. She was giving me instructions on how to perform a calculation, which I kept getting wrong. Frustrated, I just show her my Python code. She instantly recognises the error and tells me how to fix the code. This is the first time I show her Python.
Can *your* programming language do this?
In reality, they are not real. In fact, while I can say with all certainty this will not happen in the foreseeable future, it is entirely possible that all of the borders dividing all of the countries all over this world could be erased in a single day.
In a sense, we are hostages of the countries in which we are born, held captive by artificial borders. We are not asked if we would like to be a citizen of the nation in which we’re born."
-- Margaret Donnelly
in a nutshell, it's about autonomy. it's about social media autonomy for every person on the planet. all 7.6 billion of us. nobody else telling us to do, what to say, and nobody else forcing us to see things we don't want to see.
this means Pleroma is being built for an entirely new scale of fediverse: one with billions of nodes. it's also why Pleroma supports alternative transports such as TOR and I2P out of the box.
it also is a major differentiator between Pleroma and Mastodon. in the Mastodon model, there's maybe a few million islands which host a few thousand people each. to contrast, in our model, everyone who wants to host their own instance does so. that means everyone can choose to have total social media freedom.
but it's not just social media, we also intend to use the same underlying tech to enable real-time communications with the same capabilities as the social media side of things.
and it's universal: different frontends for different preferences. like Mastodon but don't have the resources to run it? use Pleroma with Mastodon frontend and apps. like GNU social? Pleroma's default frontend was modelled after it. like diaspora* but want to talk to your fediverse friends? use Feather. like the alternative Mastodon frontends like Pinafore and Brutaldon? they work too.
hate spam and harrassment? we have a mostly as yet untapped framework called MRF which can be leveraged to automate moderation of an instance.
want to modify it? drop by #pleroma on freenode and we help with that too.
