The fediverse is an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity.
Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims.
Where moving from one service to another doesn’t mean losing everything you’ve built and everything you’ve ever said.

The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.
For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few m…Joan Westenberg (westenberg.)

First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control
I’m old enough to remember when age verification bills were pitched as a way to ‘save the kids from porn’ and shield them from other vague dangers lurking in the digital world (like…“the transgender”).Electronic Frontier Foundation

Dammit! Annoyed at myself now, for having heard the name #tailscale before, but not checking it out before now. It's awesome, and could have saved me many hours of fiddling, which I now don't need anymore.

Ja, såg det nämt i förmiddag, och kollade upp det. Tog väl typ 2 timmar från att jag inte visste vad det var, tills jag hade skapat VPN med alla mina enheter på ett mycket smidigare sätt än vad som har tagit mig dagar eller väckor att få rätt när jag gjort det manuellt med WireGuard innan. Och man behöver inte ens öppna nånting i brandväggen!
Enheterna i mitt hemmanät har jag satt till att kunna agera som exit-nodes och subnet-routers, så från utsidan kan jag antingen bara vara "normalt" inloggat, så jag kan ssh'a direkt till vilken burk jag vill, men annars använda nätet jag har där jag är, eller så kan jag med 1 klick ändra till att använda en enhet som exit-node, och då blir det som ett traditionellt VPN, där all trafik går via den noden, och det blir som om jag vore hemma. Sweet för mobil t.ex., så kan jag använda min AdGuard DNS server från var som helst.
Finns massa mera att säga, men jag orkar inte repetera hela doms knowledge base nu :P

Trump Calls On Congress To Pass The “Take It Down” Act—So He Can Censor His Critics
We've opposed the Take It Down Act because it could be easily manipulated to take down lawful content that powerful people simply don't like. Last night, President Trump demonstrated he has a similar view on the bill.Electronic Frontier Foundation

It would have been a surprise if Trump didn't introduce censorship - "Freedom of Speech" (Vance, Munich): yes, but only if you support Trump.

Self-hosted Friendica
So, I just set up a self-hosted instance of Friendica. Just curious to test how it compares to Mastodon. Seems, this far, to be more what I'm after. We'll see...

it needs to connect better, it still doesn't run as smoothly as the giant platforms the are under unified system management for all users
