Mastodon

Old Fucking Punk<a href="https://macaw.social/@andypiper" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@andypiper</a> The big tech platforms provide "social control media".Some (like <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/Techrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Techrights</a>) argue that Mastodon instances, and any other social application that allowa server side enforcing of codes of conduct, fall into that category. I would argue that the right to join a gated community is more "self control" than "social control", but I prefer self filtering over server filtering.

StrypeyI'm all for for getting more policy through Parliament to protect human rights/ liberties in the ways technology is deployed. Strategies for this can be divided into two broad categories;1) working with existing parties on tech policy2) growing a tech freedom partyHaving been involved in trying both strategies, multiple times, I've had much more success with the first one, for far less effort.(2/2)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TechActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechActivism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TechRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechRights</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TechLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechLiberties</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalRights</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/DigitalLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalLiberties</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilLiberties</a>
