A bit ironic for an article exposing surveillance tech and spyware use by governments to monitor human rights advocates and journalists to be sponsored by none other than a surveillance giant.

Great to see orgs without any prior involvement with the dev community on here very successfully fundraising for fairly nebulous goals while the entire dev community is paying out-of-pocket for tools all y'all are using daily.

That's true, but money and resources also matter, and Mastodon has had little to none for the majority of these years, so not sure it's a very fair / equal comparison considering the amount of vast $$$ Bluesky has had to its disposal (without even having made much progress towards decentralization.)

Remember when everyone flocked to post.news (the a16z-funded "Twitter alternative") thinking it's the new shit and then it shut down after gobbling tons of VC money. That was lol

This is how big of a threat federated systems are to Meta and the like. The fediverse is not just a vague promise to rid our feeds of billionaires and unchecked VC influence. It's already achieving it, on a shoestring budget, for many years. www.404media.co/meta-is-bloc...

Proud to have played a role in this. VC-backed social media is not the answer. At Mastodon, we view this move as the best way to guarantee that it remains free from ads, data exploitation, manipulative algorithms or corporate monopolies. www.theverge.com/2025/1/13/24...

Regarding Serbia, Cellebrite, and the Palestinian laboratory, it’s worth checking out surveillancewatch.io. It’s like the Wikipedia of surveillance and is very well documented.

I say any Democrat who supports sending weapons to Netanyahu is aiding a genocide

The Biden-Harris administration's refusal to hold war criminals accountable by discrediting and undermining the ICC cements its complicity in genocide. History will not forget their role and rejection of international law and justice.
