@_elena@mastodon.social goes “beyond technical features” of the fediverse in her latest issue of The Future Is Federated newsletter:

“The people of the Fediverse - compared to people on mainstream social media - also exhibit a high degree of digital media literacy: they are keenly aware of surveillance capitalism, adtech, and the harvesting of private user data to train AI models.”

      @stefan@stefanbohacek.online yes I’d love to discuss Hall of Fame. And didn’t realize @AltTextHealthCheck@mastodon.social was done by another Stefan 😅 @stefan@gardenstate.social thanks for the clarification!

          #postoftheweek (season 1):
          The Fediverse has been teaching me how to be a better digital citizen. Actually, let me rephrase that: without the shadow of a doubt, the Fediverse has made me a better digital citizen.

          You may have heard in passing how Fediverse networks are considered to be “ethical social media” – but this description has rarely been followed up by an explanation of how and why. I’d like to give it a shot, through the prism of my personal experience.
