"Ich sehe, dass sehr viele Leute immer noch bei X sind und sagen, wir können doch diesen Diskursraum nicht den Rechten überlassen.

taz: Ist das denn falsch?

Simon: Ja.

taz: Warum?

Simon: Weil es nicht möglich ist, dagegenzuhalten. Wer etwas anderes glaubt, hat die Architektur der Plattform nicht verstanden."

I am not judging people who maintain their X accounts, losing hundreds or thousands of followers, many of them good people, is no small decision. But I encourage you to do so nonetheless. Show these bullies that you can turn your back to them. Show them their irrelevancy towards history. #quitX

Wir haben unseren Account bei X (ehemals Twitter) deaktiviert, wie viele Hochschulen, Verbände und Initiativen in den letzten Monaten. Wir können die aktuelle Ausrichtung von X nicht mehr mit unseren Grundwerten wie Weltoffenheit, Transparenz und demokratischem Diskurs vereinbaren.
Folgt uns auf unseren verschiedenen Kanälen, über die wir euch weiterhin auf dem Laufenden halten. Neu dabei: Bluesky!

From today on, each day I'll email 6 German politicians asking them to quit X. The contacted politicians and their possible responses (or likely non-responses) will be published on a page of the website leavex.eu.

I hope other people can email their representatives as well.

I still wish to make some kind of tool where people can post on X asking for their representatives to leave the disinformation platform. I hope it is possible to do this on a static website like Hugo.

Introduzione

Non sono nuovo del #fediverso, ma dal momento che nell'ultimo mese le istanze con cui la mia goto.77nn.it è federata sono letteralmente raddoppiate, mi sembra il caso di reiterare le presentazioni per i nuovi arrivati grazie a iniziative come #eXit o #eXodus o boh, #quitX...

Non sto a fare il solito pippone, che qui siamo tutti santi, eroi e navigatori, anche se un po' più ricchioni e comunisti rispettosi delle diversità, ma sappiate che grossomodo è così - fatevene una ragione.

Io sono un eremita digitale che si è messo in piedi il proprio server sulla pila di ciarpame sulla scrivania. Non ho affiliazioni, scrivo il mio blog, registro il mio podcast. Ma non avendo affiliazioni, non mi legge né mi ascolta (quasi) nessuno. Non ero nessuno su Twitter (non ci sono mai stato, in verità) né su Instagram. Ringrazio sempre il mio unico lettore o ascoltatrice oltre a mia moglie (che mente perché non mi ascolta quando parlo, figuriamoci se lo fa con il Podcast)... Perché lo faccio? Perché magari un domani, da morto, le mie figlie potranno ascoltare le minchiate che dicevo e farsi due risate. O conoscere un po' meglio ciò che non ho potuto dire loro in faccia o non hanno voluto sentirsi dire.

Non offro Verità, ma un quadro storto di come vedo il mio (piccolo in verità) mondo. Ho un articolo contorto sul perché vale la pena, lo trovate qui: https://77nn.it/2023/10/28/effimera-persistenza-identita.html

Grazie e benvenuti!

Introduction

I'm not new to the #fediverse, but since in the last month the instances with which my goto.77nn.it is federated literally doubled, it feels ok to repeat my self-introduction for the newcomers (thanks to initiatives such as #eXit or #eXodus or wtf idk #quitX).

I'm not doing the usual tl;dr that here we're all saints, heroes and navigators, even if a little more gays and communist respectful towards diversity, but do know that this is about the way it is - deal with it.

I'm a digital hermit who put his own server up on the pile of junk that sits on the desktop. I have no affiliations, I write my blog, I record my podcast. But having no affiliations, almost nobody reads or listens to me. I was no one on Twitter (I've never actually been there) nor on Instagram. I always thank my sole reader or listener besides my wife (who lies because she does not listen to me when I speak, let alone if she does it with my Podcast)... Why do I do that? Because maybe tomorrow, when I'm dead, my daughters can listen to the shit I'm saying and laugh. Either they know a little better what I couldn't say straight to their faces or they didn't want to hear.

I do not offer Truth, but a crooked picture of how I see my (small indeed) world. I have a twisted article about why it's worth it, you find it here: https://77nn.it/2023/10/28/effimera-persistenza-identita.html (it's in italian but automatic translation tools work quite acceptably on my italian, if you want to fuck around a little bit).

Thanks and welcome!

Pour les nouveaux ici : Les Big Tech c’est un continent où tout le monde, tous les jours, doit prendre le métro ou le train pour passer par la métropole-capitale-centrale. Le Fediverse ce sont des archipels : des milliers et milliers de petites îles (serveurs ou instances) qui choisissent de se lier entre elles ou non (fédération). #QuitX #Mastodon #Fediverse #Xode :fediverse: :mastodon:

C'est l'heure de l'Xode, de quitter les Gafams, les grandes migrations, ce n'est pas la première fois. Comme les étoiles les services naissent et meurent tous les jours. À l’heure où nous quittons les GAFAMS… Il faut faire. Défaire. Refaire. Construire. Déconstruire. Migrer Recommencer. Retour sur 20 ans de numérique par le prisme de mes petits doigts. Et aujourd'hui quel web désirons-nous ? #QuitX #Mastodon #Fediverse #lesnouveaux aurelienmarty.org/quitter-quel
