I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Just never forget: the headquarter of #ICANN is situated in Los Angeles, California

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thank heaven! Crucially important, I would have thought .......

@Gargron@mastodon.social never been prouder to have been off that place than today

[–] Setok@attractive.space 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social this is important. Very important. However, as this election has shown, the 'negative choice' is not enough. #Mastodon needs to be the positive choice. With features, innovations and services that go beyond what others are offering, and entice people to come and to stay.

Of course that's not just up to you or the GmbH, but the things people create around this. But you can help in setting the culture, and creating joy in the core apps and services.

@Gargron@mastodon.social
Yeah, this is what I was saying a few days ago. TechHub will likely be moving our server to Canada, but I worry about the smaller servers run by a single person in the US, where that might not be an option.

[–] veitch@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social my thoughts exactly. More of this please. Let’s try and scoop out at least some of the firmament that allowed this to happen

[–] wubatz@nrw.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social I really hope that the EU will fund Mastodon

[–] AFiveDayStorm@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social Agreed! Glad I fully made the move to be federated.

[–] sprybear@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social indeed!

[–] carpetbomberz@mastodon.online 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social 💯 ActivityPub/Fediverse/Mastodon triumphant.

In 2016 we didn't have this,... and NOW we do.

[–] chiamaluca@mastodon.world 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social

absolutely
Mastodont and the Fediverse must be centrally operated out from US
this free media platform will not last long in US now

[–] AppleWoi@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social

THIS!!!

I think it's going to be more important than ever that HUMANS are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

[–] josephwelch@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social invest in a VPN. You might need it.

[–] patricus@mstdn.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social so, force more people out of your instances, there's too much of people on mastodon.social and mastodon.online

[–] stavpup@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social the syntax does not make sense.

[–] verdantsquare@mastodon.world 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social For damn sure. The US is not to be trusted. #AMAGAta

[–] nicdex@techhub.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social Yeah, I'm moving TechHub back to Canada. It's going to be PITA, but it needs to be done.

[–] vlakicas@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social In US the answer is only US $. ✍️

[–] stefanlaser@social.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks to all of us for doing this important work, not always agreeing on everything but still pushing this forward

[–] MartinBe@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social What difference does it makes if the private messages here aren't still encrypted and can be accessed by the 3-letter US organizations as they wish even without your knowledge?
They can harvest anything, any data about anyone they want from here and we all know exactly that something like this is possible. The weakest link is always the human. And if your moderators can read them, so can anyone else. Accidentally and on purpose. Even forcefully. That's pretty obvious. So.. you know.

[–] streetcoder@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social Yes, would be great to have a Mastodon server App readily available in e.g. a kitchen self hosted #freedombox or #uberspace lab guide https://lab.uberspace.de/

I'm still looking for the quickest and cheapest way for hosting a family instance.

Matrix, Mumble and XMPP are already running well. Next is Fediverse Goto Social or Mastodon or similar.

[–] ayo@social.ayco.io 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social that’s not even possible to happen right?

[–] ayo@social.ayco.io 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social that’s not even possible right?

[–] LiquidParasyte@pawb.fun 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social please, please, please work with your peers in the Fediverse software space to prioritize nomadic identity migration and instance/domain migration

Being able to move to a new instance while retaining the post history is going to be crucial in the coming times.

[–] whknott@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social One of the BIG things I like about Mastodon is that the host is subject to German laws. As a Jew this has given me some feeling of safety to post here. Thank you.

Which reminds me I probably ought to renew my donation.

[–] wendinoakland@beige.party 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social Happy my instance isn’t federated w meta or bsky.

[–] sahilrajput03@mastodon.social 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social cool.

@Gargron@mastodon.social 💯💯💯

[–] fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social I've signed up with Univesedon because I like having backups.This instance was down for about 2 hours..I hope it's not a portent of what is going to happen.

[–] cyberTukker@tukkers.online 1 points 7 months ago

@Gargron@mastodon.social couldn't agree more
