»As Bluesky surges, Threads begins testing custom feeds« https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/15/as-bluesky-surges-threads-begins-testing-custom-feeds/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia


A thought:

Stop amplifying crazy sh*t that crazy people (especially politicians say) on your accounts.

Instead amplify at superspeed and super volume true things. And do it without referencing the crazy.

Let the crazy sh*t die in its own filth. 1/3

In this increasingly repressive climate, I'm surprised more activists haven't caught on to the fact that being able to have your #socialmedia server in any country you want can be a huge asset, and that the #fediverse is the only platform providing that ability.

But apparently that's the kind of galaxy-brain thinking that only I can come up with. 🙄

"A nonprofit continuing to post to X is not only unwelcome by the crowd growing there, but they are complicit in what is to come.

That's why 62% of nonprofits active on X have already begun building a presence on new and emerging platforms."

Read about why @saskia doesn't think nonprofits should be sticking to X in her latest blog post.

Again good news, better late than never and I hope the trend will continue: La Vanguardia has stopped posting directly on X, citing the platform’s role in spreading misinformation, hate speech, and bot-driven distortions. The move follows the paper’s concerns over content moderation cuts since Musk’s takeover and aligns with Trump’s proposal to appoint Musk to a new government efficiency role.

"The median age of a Fox News viewer is 68, and liberals have joked about the network 'brainwashing' their conservative parents. But rightwing social media content has effectively targeted and radicalized younger people, who — unlike the typical Hannity-obsessed grandpa — can vote for the next several decades.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!

But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.

Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

Some good news: The Guardian has announced it will stop posting from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), due to concerns that the negatives, including "often disturbing content," now outweigh the benefits. The organization informed readers of this decision, affecting over 80 accounts with around 27 million followers.

Very good article in the British Medical Journal ( BMJ) on how disinformation enabled Donald Trump’s second term and is a crisis for democracies everywhere.

Credit where its due, it's not all fumbled social media policies, burying gambling ad reform, attacking old media's enemies, outlawing opinions and exempting religious whack jobs.

Former Nine corporate lawyer and bible quoting fanatic, Communications Minister Michele Rowland, may have stumbled her way towards a rare win, flagging a 'Digital Duty of Care,' as recommended by an independent review of the Online Safety Act.

Could unleash all sorts of interesting torts such as parents suing US big tech for the suicide of a child or damages to reputations from the selling of incorrect or deliberately false private data. This one might unlock a pandoras box of unpredictable outcomes, some actually good.

»Don Lemon leaves X, the platform he nearly had a video show with« https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/13/don-lemon-leaves-x-the-platform-he-nearly-had-a-video-show-with/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia


I was just thinking something similar to what this article is saying. Social Media is NOT a source of news, it is other people's reactions TO the news.

She has some interesting insights.

"I’ll read news, not other people’s reactions to news."

Finally (I hear you say) The Guardian has decided that actually X is too toxic a social media space to post on...

What would be great would be if they now geared up their presence here.... but, given their past journalistic comments, it may be that Mastodon is a little too complex for them (even though we all know that's rubbish)... and of course I'm sure lots of people will still pst links to pieces on X in any case so they'll still be there...

The Guardian is leaving X

#technology #tech #socialmedia #x #xitter #twitter #journalism #theguardian #news #newsoutlets


The Guardian will no longer post on its 80 different accounts on Twitter/X (combined following: 27 million).
“X is a toxic media platform and […] its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

Toxic media platform

The Guardian will no longer post on Twitter. It described the platform as promoting disturbing content including "far-right conspiracy theories and racism."

"As socially responsible organisations and individuals we’ve all put a lot of thought into what our values are, and why we do what we do. It’s time to stand up for those same values in social media."

Our co-founder @michael has looked at five reasons charities should be cheerful when leaving X.

Well done to the team at The Guardian for standing up against X.

Their statement: "The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse."

We look forward to helping the wave of journalists and publications that will no doubt follow.

Trump triumphant

Hear Tony Pearce’s latest talk on TRUMP TRIUMPHANT

What does it mean for America, Israel and the church?
Is this a ‘divine intervention against the criminal New World Order’ as Archbishop Vigano has said?
Or an open door to another round of deception?

"The #Amsterdam ‘Pogrom’ That Wasn’t: Corporate #Media Fails To Tell the Whole Story"

Lots of cites, postings on #socialmedia from the scene, statements from US government and other nation's officials; "...many social media posts reported the context of the violence that was missing from corporate media reporting..."
