Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

    From the Mastodon Docs:

    A Mastodon suspension (that is the type of ban seen in the screenshot) means the account is effectively deleted. The account no longer appears in search, the profile page is gone, and all of the posts, uploads, followers, and all other data are removed publicly. However, all the data is available in the admin back-end for a period of 30 days from suspension. This is to give the user an opportunity to work with instance admins to resolve any potential issues and have the account re-instated.


  • If i may summarize:

    The Fediverse is great for everyone who wants to engage with the medium they are using for real. People who don’t give a fuck are not willing to invest the minimum time to understand the underlying structure, which makes the Fediverse completely opaque to them.

    I will now extrapolate:

    This is also what makes the Fediverse great: we are a collection basin of people who want to look behind the mirror, who are not satisfied with easy answers and shallow slogans. We want to know how shit works and are not satisfied when we realize that we are getting a raw deal.

    Therefore the Fediverse itself is a great platform for connecting people who are bound to have ideas and are open to critizism. Even if we never reach critical mass (which would only mean an eternal september for most of us), we still are the fraction of society that interacts with technology and people critically - we don’t accept black boxes, and we don’t accept things that go against logical analysis (for the most part - we are still humans, and we all are fallable).

    I would not be surprised if in the next decade there would be at least (i’d say even more, but it’s the question of if we ever hear of it, because we tend to protect the fediverse in general to not become a target from outside forces) one political movement rooted in the fediverse that becomes at least a painful thorn in the side of an established government.

    This network is not for everyone, but it is here for the people who actually wanna engage with technology, society, politics and the crosssections of those areas.




  • Nah, he ain’t that. He’s mainly left leaning, and has no qualms addressing when local minorities have antidemocratic sentiments, while not condemning immigration itself. I can understand why it’s hard to describe in one sentence to grab attention, because he might be left, but supports rightwing measures vs. immigrants who refuse to partake in the normal social context in germany and which are creating parallel societies where things like honor killings and the inofficial applying of sharia law are ok.

    There are both leftwing and rightwing positions there, but from my perspective, he’s the type of left-wing person we need: the type that has realized that the paradoxon of tolerance will fuck them up if they don’t change something.



  • Yep, this time it just showed up the arabic part of society that is not compatible with human rights and democracy. I am pretty sure had OOP posted about neonazis celebrating, that their account would still be up and available.

    The German left has a very serious issue: they cannot fathom the idea that Jews might be committing genocide, the same as they cannot believe that the ISIS-fraction is celebrating when LGBT people are hurt and killed.

    There really has to be change in the german left: they have to acknowledge that there are people inside of the minorities they are usually protecting from german neonazis that are just as bad as the neonazis they are defending against. I see movement in the youth which does not accept Israels “antisemitism”-bait, but they still have to start acknowledging the hardcore islamist sharia bastards that are no better than the skinheads they are used to fighting.

    it doesn’t get more permanently banned than “deletion of user profile, posts, followers and uploads”


  • I postulate that people posting comments in arabic languages on international news sites are by a large majority people who live in the respective countries outside of immigrants that still feel more connected to their country of origin than to the countries they are currently in, comparable to the fact that people posting in german are with a 95%+ probability coming from the DACH area or are immigrants into other countries.

    No dogwhistle here. Specific languages point to specific geographic areas where these languages are prominently spoken, and if you are using german on the comment section of the bbc, people will rightly assume that you come from the DACH area.





  • Nope. He was simply stating the fact that arabic-language comments in international media have a large majority of people celebrating the guy who weaponized his car and killed people at Berlin Pride with it, and that this was a large problem. After that comment was deleted, he cited it with the additional comment that he had been censured by the mod and that this was pretty astounding.

    This means that the Mastodon.world mod neither likes when it is shown up that arabs are celebrating when someone kills gay people in germany, and that he has very thin skin regarding critique towards his moderation style.



  • Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with don’t wanting to jump off a bridge into a river - you can’t see how deep the river is at that spot, and its extra dangerous if the rivers are carrying as little water as they do now, because the riverbed is not flat, there may be rocks a meter or two below the waterline and that’d be it. Every year people die jumping head first in natural waters they don’t know in and out.


  • If you tie the availability of housing to whatever language someone speaks instead of something tangible related to the respective person, it’s racism.

    I used Google Lens to translate the bottom text. Do you think that if i would go in there using my phone to translate i would get a room for the night?
