"You have freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences."

In China, the phrase:

"You have freedom of speech, but not the right to be heard."

In the United States, both are being embraced, and we should be concerned.

Authoritarian regimes rarely start by banning thought, but rather they corrupt expression itself. They grant the theoretical right to speak, then engineer a reality where doing so is civic suicide.

Consider the first mechanism, perfected in the shadow of the gulag: "You have freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences." Under totalitarianism, the state manufactures the consequences. You can say anything, provided you are willing to lose your job, apartment, or liberty. The regime doesn't need to drag you away; they make the price of speaking so high you gag yourself.

Next is the digital cage perfected in China: "You have freedom of speech, but not the right to be heard." You can vent online all day, but algorithms quietly intercept your words. They throttle your reach and shadow-ban your profile, rendering your voice a tree falling in a digital forest with no ears to hear it.

The real tragedy is that these tools are no longer confined to foreign adversaries. They are being enthusiastically imported into the United States by both citizens and institutions.

In America, "freedom from consequences" has been weaponized by a hyper-partisan culture. People demand professional ruin and social excommunication for anyone stepping outside approved ideological boundaries, crowd-sourcing a secret police that imposes a devastating economic tax on wrong-think.

Simultaneously, the American public square has outsourced the "right to be heard" to algorithmic overlords. Under the banner of safety, tech platforms quietly bury non-conforming viewpoints, sterilizing the marketplace of ideas.

When a society willingly adopts both constraints, it ceases to be free. We are sleepwalking into a system where the First Amendment exists on parchment, but its soul has been traded for the illusion of ideological safety.

After a weekend of my old server being unusable and not loading, I finally made the decision to switch servers. I have been wanting to come back to mstdn.ca for almost a year, but never sitting down to do it. The past 48 hours made my decision much easier. Fediverse Portability is such a wonderful feature.

So, hi, new server! Good to be set up on Canadian digital soil.

I know the Pixelfed codebase is messy, but I'm a far better Laravel dev than when I started it, and @phpstan has been keeping Loops rock solid at every level.

This week: preparing the new mobile app, fixing comment threading so you never miss a reply, and laying the foundation for the next-gen APIs that will power the new webUI and mobile app.

Tests are coming to lock in stability too. Pixelfed is getting the Loops treatment 💅 🚀

I will admit, I did get a bit carried away with @pixelfed features over the years.

Collections, DMs, Ephemeral Stories, Filters, Groups and Portfolios were all started with good intentions, but without the continued focus and stability they deserve.

Once I get caught up with bug fixes and making the core features more solid, they are up next!

No new features will be added until the platform is as rock solid as Loops is 😉

Hey everyone there greetings to you all.
We are so exited to share our haversting with each and every one who is on this #mastodon and #fediverse that green Earth Mission Uganda is not just stopping from #environmental but we also grow crops to fight hidden hungers in schools and communities, so today we are sharing our harvest with our friends and family so that we can sustain together. So dear friend supports our mission so that we can acquire our own land. #gardening #nature #HarvestSeason

Dear friend this is a lease land but if there is someone who can support us thank you any Dollar counts

I wish there was a Fediverse platform for music #scrobbler. Something similar to last.fm but OpenSource and supporting #ActivityPub. There is libre.fm, but despite being active, I cannot find their source code and I believe they are a centralized platform.

It would be great if we can also self-host our music history and be able to share it.

There is multi-scrobbler under MIT license that can be a nice place to start:

Hallo zusammen 👋

ich bin jetzt auch hier auf **Friendica.World** unterwegs und möchte mich kurz vorstellen.

Thematisch wird es bei mir vor allem um **Katzen** gehen. 🐈 Dazu gehören Alltag und Haltung, Ernährung, Gesundheit, Verhalten und immer wieder kleine praktische Tipps. Außerdem beschäftige ich mich gern mit **Kräutern und Pflanzen im Katzenhaushalt**, also zum Beispiel mit ungiftigen Zimmerpflanzen, Katzenkräutern und Heilpflanzen.

Einige meiner Beiträge und Projekte kennt man vielleicht schon aus anderen Ecken des Fediverse. Ich möchte Friendica.World aber nicht einfach nur als weitere Ablage für dieselben Inhalte benutzen, sondern erst einmal schauen, wie sich die Gemeinschaft hier entwickelt, neue Leute kennenlernen und mich an interessanten Gesprächen beteiligen.

Daneben wird sicherlich auch das eine oder andere zu meinen anderen Interessen auftauchen: **Science Fiction, Fantasy, Filme, Serien, Dokumentationen, Bücher und Technik**.

Ich freue mich auf interessante Beiträge, nette Kontakte und darauf, hier ein bisschen heimisch zu werden. 😊

Viele Grüße
Friedhelm

Does #Mastodon even use `contentMap` in posts (`Note`)? The #ActivityPub spec specifies a method for multilanguage posts in the form of `contentMap`, but does the rest of the #Fediverse even get to read it? Do posts that have `contentMap` but **not** `content` get to show at all?

A Fediverse but not GoToSocial specific question: does anybody know a program/script which can read the accounts i am following and than check when they where the last time active or if they actually still exist? I know Mastodon had such a feature build in. Just wanted to clean out dead profiles or accouns which only may boost stuff without really contributing
#fediverse #gotosocial #mastodon #pleaseboost #boostok

So letzter Urlaubstag. Zeit noch ein Buch fertig zu kriegen. Von der Autorin Thea Hong habe ich auch nur erfahren weil Sie im Fediverse aktiv war @Novemberbeetle
Ja leider muss man hier die Vergangenheitsform benutzen denn seit Ende 2025 postet Sie nur noch bei Threads, Instagram und TikTok. Schade denn Sie war wohl seit 2022 im Fediverse aktiv. Und nein Threads ist kein Ersatz auch wenn es Activity Pub nutz. Wenn man dort das Profil aufmacht kann man nix machen ohne direkt einen Account anlegen zu müssen, und viele Server sperren den Meta Dienst auch konsequent aus.
Teilweise würd mich echt interessieren warum die Leute dem Fediverse nach Jahren den Rücken kehren.

Grüne Landschaft im vordergrund eine Liege und ei Zaun im Hintergrund ein See mit einem Wasserspiel. Ich halte das Buch Prinzessin der Diebe von Thea Hong in den Händen. Blauer Himmel mit Wolken.

Das ist wirklich schade zu lesen. 😔

Wenn eine Instanz im Fediverse ihren Betrieb einstellen muss, geht damit immer auch ein Stück gewachsene Gemeinschaft verloren. Gleichzeitig kann ich sehr gut verstehen, dass Administratorinnen und Administratoren irgendwann an einen Punkt kommen können, an dem der Aufwand, die Verantwortung oder auch die persönlichen Umstände einen Weiterbetrieb nicht mehr zulassen.

Hinter einer Instanz steckt schließlich weit mehr, als irgendwo einen Server laufen zu lassen: Updates, Sicherheit, Backups, Moderation, Support, technische Probleme – und nicht zuletzt die Verantwortung für eine Gemeinschaft von Menschen. Vieles davon geschieht ehrenamtlich und bleibt für die meisten Nutzerinnen und Nutzer unsichtbar.

Gerade deshalb finde ich den Austausch und die gegenseitige Unterstützung unter den Administratorinnen und Administratoren im Fediverse so wichtig. Wir betreiben zwar unterschiedliche Instanzen und unterschiedliche Fediverse-Dienste, aber viele Herausforderungen ähneln sich. Wissen teilen, Erfahrungen weitergeben und sich gegenseitig unterstützen kann dabei helfen, diese Last auf mehr Schultern zu verteilen.

Mein Dank gilt allen, die solche Instanzen betreiben und damit überhaupt erst die vielfältige, dezentrale Struktur des Fediverse ermöglichen. 💚

Und wer Kontakte auf toot.community hat: Gebt die Information bitte weiter und bietet, wenn möglich, Unterstützung beim Umzug an. Manchmal kann schon ein kleiner Hinweis oder eine helfende Hand viel bewirken.

I cancelled the DogTV subscription today.

I bought it for Juliette. She watched the live stream properly, lying down and looking straight at the screen, and she reacted to the sounds in the Stimulation programme. When I had to leave the flat for a long time I put Relaxation on so she would not be alone in the silence. Ellie has never looked at it once. She just ignored it all the time.

The form asked me to pick a reason. Price too high, Content not interesting, No time to watch, and other irrelevant reasons.
I picked just "Other" and wrote this.

"Your streaming is not working on Rainbow, unfortunately"

Because it is the real reason, actually.

It is paid until 1 January 2027. Maybe I'll watch it until this date, just as part of the grieving path.

#PetLoss #Grief #Dachshund #Pets #PetsOfMastodon #Blog #Thoughts #Juliette #Streaming #Fediverse

Alt...

A dark cancellation dialog titled “Cancel subscription?”. It says access to the DOGTV subscription continues until the end of the billing cycle on January 1, 2027, then asks for a reason. The options are subscription price too high, content isn’t interesting, no time to watch, no longer fits my budget, and “I’ll be back”. The last option, Other, is selected, and the free text box below it reads “Your Streaming is not working on Rainbow, unfortunately.” Two buttons at the bottom, Back and Confirm cancellation

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

Is it just me? There is sometimes such a big disconnect between how we feel about the fediverse and how it actually is.

Every poll I've seen about alt text suggests we all use it.

But then you look at results posted by @AltTextHealthCheck.

So many seem to agree that racism and mansplaining and gatekeeping are bad.

Can anyone say any of this has actually improved over the past few years?

Or have we collectively just driven enough marginalized people away that we don't see the complaints as often?

Skype is still sitting on my phone. It stopped working when Microsoft shut it down last May (2025 btw), and I am still not deleting it.

ICQ did not survive the last phone. Moving to a new iPhone pulls everything back down from the App Store, and ICQ has not been in the store since 2024, so it just quietly never came back. No warning and nothing to confirm. On the old phone it was there, on the new one it was gone.

So a dead app lives exactly as long as the phone it sits on.

Who else is keeping one of these around?

Wenn es morgens noch dunkel draußen ist und man wach im Bett liegt, dann hört man hier das leider schon vertrocknete Laub rascheln. Es ist der Igel, der hier jedes Jahr sein Revier hat und die trockene Sommerzeit dieses Jahr hier überlebt hat. Nach den Regen in den letzten Tagen findet er nun endlich wieder alles was er braucht.
Ich wünsche euch einen tollen Start ins Wochenende, habt einen schönen Samstag 🤗💚

Hey #Fediverse can I ask you a favor?

Please don’t post URLs that have been shortened. Link-shortening services can not only potentially *track* your interactions and add telemetry to track your behaviors, they can also *break* and make your links unusable.

You can use services like https://urlexpander.net or install an app (I like Link Unshortener (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/link-unshortener/id1506953658)) to find the ultimate destination of a shortened link, and then post that instead.

Remember, all URLs in #Mastodon count as 23 characters, no matter how long the actual URL is, so there really is no benefit to shortening your URLs.
