Flipboard Tech DeskX had its second outage in just over a week today. <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Sarahp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Sarahp</a> reports for <a href="https://flipboard.com/@Techcrunch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Techcrunch</a> that the outage took place just after the platform rolled out its new DM feature. "It’s not clear if any of these changes impacted X’s stability, and the company no longer responds to press inquiries since Musk took ownership," she writes.<a href="https://flip.it/G1cQmd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/G1cQmd</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SocialNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialNetworks</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a>

KristianAudio for morning commutes:<blockquote>Thanks to the open web, it’s more viable than ever for creators to take back ownership and control of their work, their audience, and their livelihood. No one knows this better than Molly White, a researcher, writer and software engineer. This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2025.</blockquote> Still a bit more than halfway through it, listening on, it's safe to say I enjoy this one also because I agree with a lot of her points, but some things still leave me slightly unsettled. Maybe three issues for now: At first, "we are all content creators" with every piece of stuff we post anywhere on the 'net. Really? There's a reoccurring quote out there I end up with then and now which is more or less like "we tell stories to join the conversation", and in many ways I can relate with this much more. Never seen myself as a content creator, let alone publisher of anything valuable out there - just a mere nerd writing stuff on the interweb to maybe get into this or another conversation. Focussing on ones own role of a content creator, of trying to keep followers and an audience, despite all my agreeing with the idea of digital sovereignty in there, feels way too much like a one-way, like basically being focussed on my own stuff and ensuring people can read all of that easily everywhere - rather than considering the other way 'round and focussing on also making sure I can read stuff others wrote. Then, she somehow lost me with still posting to Twitter even while it sucks and she might be banned there sooner than later. No criticism on my end, I get her point but I just very much disagree with that perspective for a whole load of reasons, digital sovereignty included. And maybe finally, however, talking the other way 'round and practically handling this idea: Hoping for the (AP) Fediverse to somehow get more serious about that. Not just as in being able to somehow move accounts and contacts between instances of the same software but actually by being able to, like, move all my content and conversations and contacts seamlessly from one server to another without losing anything or causing a lot of friction for either myself or server administrators or my friends (refusing to call them readers or followers or contacts at this point). There's still room for improvements here, and I'll now shut up, stop ranting and be listening on. There's a lot of valuable stuff in there anyway.<a href="https://dot-social.simplecast.com/episodes/molly-white-sxsw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dot-social.simplecast.com/epis…</a><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#podcast</a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=social+networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#social networks</a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=morning+listenings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morning listenings</a>

Flipboard Culture DeskTwo people were arrested earlier this month over a plan to attack a Lady Gaga concert on Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro, which was attended by more than two million people. The plot was coordinated on digital platforms such as Discord, and authorities say the organizers were attempting to radicalize and recruit teenagers.

Michael Daum<a href="https://mamot.fr/@homlett" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@homlett</a> We've been working enthusiastically on the basis of a sharing culture since the 2000s, when <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/blogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blogs</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/wikis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikis</a> became a thing.

Ulrike Hahnfinally in print, the last puzzle piece in a decade of thinking about communication across social networks from the perspective of ideal rational agents: how do we factor in ‚dependence‘ - the fact that the same underlying evidence may, for example, reach us via multiple different reports, giving rise to double counting?There is a strong intuition that multiple independent observations should carry more weight than dependent observations. But how much more? We show that there is no (known) answer to this normative question in the general case. This renders a fundamental feature of human testimony unsolvable, meaning that acquiring knowledge via the testimony of others is much harder than typically assumed<a href="https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s11229-025-04969-w?sharing_token=T_qZZ-qagNeAgHYmwOsO4Pe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY7NNaNx5je-8CbqY3NQbXjm1PJgoB0Fw-IBoMYIKgSDlaiwownlR0py9XbHJBti1v6lLN7PlZ2uZJjf_SE6Z-Nwu8xISFeoc5h9Szl4tzerZtJWZwsR6CbwVDWSPlumzIw%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s11229-025-04969-w?sharing_token=T_qZZ-qagNeAgHYmwOsO4Pe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY7NNaNx5je-8CbqY3NQbXjm1PJgoB0Fw-IBoMYIKgSDlaiwownlR0py9XbHJBti1v6lLN7PlZ2uZJjf_SE6Z-Nwu8xISFeoc5h9Szl4tzerZtJWZwsR6CbwVDWSPlumzIw%3D</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epistemology</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SocialNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialNetworks</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/philosophy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@philosophy</a>
