‘The bot asked me four times a day how I was feeling’: is tracking everything actually good for us?

Gathering data used to be a fringe pursuit of Silicon Valley nerds. Now we’re all at it, recording everything from menstrual cycles and mobility to toothbrushing and time spent in daylight. Is this just narcissism redesigned for the big tech age?

#JazzJennings responds to Tr*ump’s #executiveorder #erasing #trans & #nonbinary #people: “My #identity is real”

Jennings just posted a #defiant #message to #socialmedia in the wake of #convictedfelon #DonaldTramp’s return to the White House.

— Who I am is not an identity, calling it such suggests that it is a choice we made. It isn't! We need to use better language.

Compare Hubzilla with Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky

Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky may be popular options, but how do they compare to Hubzilla?

This table compares #decentralized #social #media platforms. Some of the terminology is different between platforms, but the core #concepts are the same. We have included the terminology each platform uses (where there is enough space to do so).

For example, on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, you create an "account" which serves as your #online #identity and social media presence, but on #Hubzilla it's called a "channel," and on #Threads it's called a "profile." In other words, a "channel" is the equivalent of a Mastodon account or Bluesky account or Threads #profile. We will use the term "channel" throughout to make the table simpler.
