The Future of Social is Here: a Show and Tell (part 3: Friendica)

A "show and tell" of my favorite features of Friendica, which has fast become my favorite place in the Fediverse

Currently trying out #Friendica for a new issue of my newsletter/blog #TheFutureIsFederated and this GIF speaks louder than words. I’m OBSESSED 😍

I’ve spent an hour adding #Bluesky accounts and #RSS feeds of my favorite blogs (in addition to a selection of #Mastodon and federated #Threads accounts). It’s SOOOO COOL…

Thank you #Fediverse and #ActivityPub for making this possible 🪄✨

Lo stupore inutile di chi non ha capito che odio, stupidità ed ignoranza sono il "pane" dei #socialmedia.

L' inutile stupore.

(155) C'è da avere una certa tenerezza nei confronti di chi, con inutile (e falso), stupore, ad ogni fatto di cronaca -brutto, bello...

"Japanese disaster prevention #X account can’t post anymore after hitting API limit"

Governments should not depend on #SocialMedia for #emergency communication. If you run a group or organization, you shouldn't be using Facebook or Twitter for your official communications, you should use products designed for that purpose that won't interfere with your ability to disseminate information in the event of an emergency.

How #Verified Accounts on X Thrive While Spreading #Misinformation About the Israel-Hamas Conflict
==

With the gutting of content moderation initiatives at the former #Twitter, accounts with blue checks, once a sign of authenticity, are disseminating debunked claims and gaining more followers.

Community Notes, X’s fact-checking system, hasn’t scaled sufficiently.

Nice to see that also the University of #Luxembourg is suspending its X account.

It could be a great opportunity for them to follow @ResearchLux example or even setting up a #Mastodon server for the whole university.
