The #fediverse is a fascinating place. I was using #nostr and came across a post by @cstross but I couldn't reply to it on Nostr and I couldn't find it on #mastodon

I suppose technically this isn't a fediverse issue as it isn't really related to the way #activitypub works, but rather more related to the way bridges work.

Now I'm guessing this occurred because the post in question was deleted by Charlie (though I saw nothing untoward about it) or because it was a very good imposter on Nostr.

If it's the latter , it doesn't explain why the post seemed to come from Mastodon, albeit not from Charlie's usually address.

If it's the former then that is more understandable but maybe worrying, because it means deletions on Mastodon are not respected elsewhere.

Now Charlie being charlie, there's no way he isn't already aware of this, but I think it might be worth spreading the word to others.

Kirsten Gillibrand voted with the Fascist who's destroying our 250-year-old republic.

If you're from New York, called her and demand that she resign immediately.

I pretty much always disagree with old man Chuck Schumer.

I pretty much always agree with young woman AOC.

but age and gender are NOT the relevant factors here. You can be old and smart. You can be male and correct about issue x or y.

 Elon Musk Reportedly Orders Government to Stop Feeding the Bomb-Sniffing Dogs

As Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency continues to plunder the federal government, even the Transportation Security Administration's bomb-sniffing K9 units aren't safe.

Es importante reconocer que nuestras acciones definen quiénes somos, no nuestra naturaleza intrínseca. Osea, no existen personas buenas o malas. Existen buenas y malas acciones. En nuestra existencia, es fundamental vivir de manera consciente, evitando causar daño o dolor a los demás seres.
De que les sirve tanta biblia y charlatanería si todavía se engañan a sí mismas para evitar enfrentar el verdadero problema. Continúan cometiendo asesinatos, explotando animales y destruyendo hábitats sin comprender el valor de la vida, ni la importancia de la ética.
Estas personas no saben cómo comportarse como seres humanos y no son aptas para la convivencia. Además, no son capaces de asumir la responsabilidad de sus propias acciones, menos podrán desempeñar un papel adecuado en la educación o la ciencia.
La doble moralidad solo causa daño y entorpece a los que estan buscando soluciones. Hay personas que dicen posicionarse en la "neutralidad" pero como verán, no existe. Sino que forma parte del mismo negacionismo y problema que buscamos erradicar desde hace siglos. La neutralidad es eufemismo de negacionismo y de status quo.

In the @newyorktimes:

"#ActivityPub has also led to a wave of start-up efforts such as #Mastodon, a microblogging service that now has more than 14 million accounts connected by a network of over 14,000 host computers, as well as start-ups like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube, distributed services that offer features similar to #Instagram and #YouTube."

1/ 4 If you can read and this you are amongst the last few humans capable of rational thought and the ability to converse. Data indicates an entire generation of young people are brain damaged and incapable of reasoning or thinking.

Collapse is imminent.

El comunismo no es izquierda. Al parecer, confunden "explotación reducida y controlada" con progresismo. Para el progresismo, el comunismo sigue siendo una fuente de retroceso y conservación de toda opresión. Básicamente, el comunismo consiste en reemplazar un poder por otro: tomar el puesto de él para controlarlo yo. Es otro proceso burocrático. Ojo, no digo que la burocracia sea mala, porque sería caer en sesgos.

Muchas personas lo llaman izquierda, pero yo prefiero llamarlo pensamiento crítico o intelectualismo. Esto engloba toda forma de educación, ciencia, derechos, etc., que busque corregirse a sí mismo. Porque progresa, reconoce los males, los identifica y trabaja para corregirlos. Esto se llama progresismo, una forma incompatible con la violencia o tipos de discriminación. ¿O acaso aún hay personas que creen que una corriente de pensamiento capaz de corregirse a sí misma y ser consciente del entorno siga apostando por promover formas de destrucción? Respuesta: hay personas que no comprenden el progresismo.
Como en toda corriente, suelen hablar en nombre de la ciencia o el conocimiento mientras atentan contra otros derechos. Pero, como vimos, si se corrige a sí misma, dicha práctica sería incompatible con la acción empleada. Puesto que, dicho en otras palabras: toda corriente que se autocorrige desplaza por sí sola toda forma de violencia o discriminación. Y lo vuelvo a decir: "No destruye quien construye su mente". Porque, ¿una persona sabia, capaz de comprender la vida y su entorno, decidiría atentar contra él? ¿No es contradictorio? Pues, vuelva a leer este post. Aquí aprenderán a identificar que es progresismo y que no es.

Bluesky has set up its EU headquarters in Belgium.

X-rival Bluesky has set up its EU headquarters in Belgium, putting the country’s telecom regulator in charge of its compliance with the EU’s Digital Services Act, the company said on its website.

In November, the European Commission said it was trying to locate where in EU the US social media platform set up shop, amid a steep rise in user numbers.

So many people in Denmark now talk about building a Danish/European social media platform (I proposed it 12 years ago and was laughed at) They want to start from scratch, but I keep saying we can build it on the ActivityPub protocol (alternatively Bueskys but I don't trust that in the long run). Anybody here who has experience with that? And know of other countries having done that? Contacts to people who could help build it? #activitypub #socialmedia @mastodon

"It's working - keep going against Musk!"

Tesla has lost $148B in market value since Musk took leadership of DOGE two months ago.

Just 17 days after wielding a chain saw and dancing triumphantly onstage at CPAC, the billionaire looked  like he was about to cry on the Fox Business channel earlier this week. He confessed that he was having “great difficulty” running his many businesses.
