Nice!

"Mastodon is currently considered *the* alternative to Twitter. SURF [the IT cooperative of Dutch education and research] and Universities of the Netherlands are therefore jointly exploring how a Mastodon environment for education and research in the Netherlands can take shape."

@stefan so fucking rad. We love to see it.

[egonw@social.edu.nl]

@markwyner @stefan hi, waving from that fucking rad Mastodon server :)

[mjlmo@social.vivaldi.net]

@stefan Mastodon is decentralized, just open some instances for the universities and schools already! 😎😁

@egonw

Hello! 👋🏻

@serge social.edu.nl seems to be the one, indeed.
On a first glance, I don't seem him listed as admin there; but his affiliation with SURF is obvious.
[Correction: He is listed as admin, I simply didn't see it]

Not statement I condone in the slightest & makes me, once again, cry out "why can't we just have nice things" :/

@serge whoops; I blame too many hours of staring on a screen today

And Phanpy :)

@serge Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate it

For the record (and for other people reading this):
The part about "80 years" is the one I personally take issue with.
I don't necessarily see the other part about "enabling by the 'reasonable center' and the 'silent majority' in the West" as being an allusion to "Jewish control of the West"; while I also see Serge's point.

@stefan this is the highest liked post ive seen today at 250 likes. Shit ain't twitter

@stefan When Elon bought Twitter it became my corporate contact only, if I needed to contact companies and nothing else. When Trump got elected and I've seen what bs they were doing together including the literal double nazi salute, I just deleted it and opened Mastodon. Never looked back. I wish Mastodon would become the sane version of Twitter and now X...

[bradley_jf@mastodon.online]

@rejzor @stefan I don’t get why companies haven’t created their own Mastodon servers that host only their official accounts.

[lavaeolus@fedihum.org]

@KoosPol You speak of "Israelian government", but then about allowing "public officers to wear turbans or a kippah" - which is already conflating Israel with Jews elsewhere.
Also, allow "to remind us of who is who" - wtf are you talking about?

1) weirdly conflating religion of unrelated people with the action of a state
2) not the act of reminding, but the focus of "80 years", i.e. the whole existence, is what I take issue with

@serge @stefan

[brembs@mastodon.social]

@stefan

"Twitter"? Sounds like the article from 2023?

[lavaeolus@fedihum.org]

@KoosPol Well, you see how your original post can be very easily misunderstood.

For the record, I disagree with @serge calling you a "Nazi".

In the same way the admin is allowed his speech, Serge is allowed to point out the potential issues with the way he phrased things (phrases do not exist in a vacuum, too). And in the same way, I'm allowed to voice my displeasure with those phrases.

Nothing more happened, nothing less.

@stefan

There is a non-manager in their IT dept who can have an instance running by quitting time.

[dentaku@fnordon.de]

@Bradley_JF @rejzor @stefan Few actually have, @hetzner for example.
