The problem that needs to be solved is that systems of #accountability and appellate process need to be baked into the code of social communications applications, but it seems that computer #programmers do not understand why these features are essential for responsible operations.

Unfortunately, the attitude of #FOSS #developers seems to be, "If you don't like it, code it yourself." This is not how advanced societies function or come about. Specialization and division of labor are important.

The #Fosstodon controversy is an excellent example of why the #decentralization of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is not a panacea and not a substitute for #Justice.

As I have said on numerous occasions, what the world needs is broad agreement on comprehensive professional #moral, #ethical, #legal, and #procedural #standards for the operation of public private spaces that includes a firm commitment to #Equality and mechanisms for community and legal #accountability and an #appellate #process.

Elon Musk, der Held der freien Märkte:
Lebt von Staatsaufträgen, subventioniert vom Steuerzahler, ruiniert Staatsfinanzen in Rekordzeit – und verkauft es als Sparrevolution.

Wenn Größenwahn ein Geschäftsmodell ist, sollte der Staat eigentlich Provision verlangen.

Musk inszeniert Sparwunder – liefert aber Milliardenschäden.
Versprochen: 2 Billionen $ weniger Ausgaben.
Realität: 150 Milliarden $ Verlust nach 100 Tagen.

Schein: der Macher.
Sein: der Blender.

In der Politik zählt nicht, was glänzt.
Sondern, was trägt.

"Retired colonel Michel Drapeau, a lawyer with expertise in privacy laws, told author Michael Harris the government’s actions were “despicable, It’s dishonourable. It’s unethical. And also illegal.”

"But that hasn’t stopped the Harper government from vaguely threatening wounded vets who might speak out."

Would a Poilievre government be any different??

🚨 Review in Progress: Bluesky 🚨

Bluesky claims to be a free speech platform — but I’ve received reports of pornographic content, seen assassination threats left untouched, and their policies leave a lot of room for censorship.

I reached out to them with hard questions. So far? Silence.

My review is coming after Passover. I hold every platform accountable — no exceptions.

If you've had issues on Bluesky, email me at yossi@thedigitalfreepress.com. Your voice matters.

yikes. just saw your post & honestly?

devastated. not for me—but for you.

this is exactly what happens when ppl don’t attend at least one community-based lantern ceremony for mosssexual neurogoblins. i’m not angry, i’m just vibing at a higher frequency of care.

muting for my own auric safety. i hope someday you find the courage to compost this kind of harm. gently. with intention. ✨

Unfortunately, abusers and authoritarians such as Trump do not like laws, which are ultimately about holding people accountable. This worldview is a danger to a democracy founded on the rule of law.
