This is not “a Mastodon app”; it is the Tŵt app, purpose-built for our community."This is a vision of the Social Web which I'm sure many won't agree with or, potentially, won't even understand. But, like Jaz, I'm pretty certain this is the future. We need to make spaces which are accessible to the general user, that just take them where they want to go without a scavenger hunt. I'm so excited for this app and seeing how it can serve the existing community, Welsh people, and everyone else who wants to call it home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #SocialWeb #Technology #App #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Mastodon

Denmark plans to severely restrict social media use for young people> As Australia began enforcing a world-first social media ban for children under 16 years old this week, #Denmark is planning to follow its lead and severely restrict #socialmedia access for young people.> The Danish government announced last month that it had secured an agreement by three governing coalition and two opposition parties in parliament to ban access to social media for anyone under the age of 15. Such a measure would be the most sweeping step yet by a European Union nation to limit use of social media among teens and children. https://apnews.com/article/denmark-social-media-ban-australia-1e96a3df3276cc2033a6f04effb89f51 #EU

Eurosky dawns: Building Infrastructure for Sovereign Social Media – Open FutureNot sure how to take this: Mastodon already exists, it’s a European project and it’s struggling to take off.I don’t think that the problem with Mastodon’s lack of adoption is the ActivityPub protocol. What advantages does the ATProtocol have that will lead to wider adoption?developing alternative social media infrastructure that is not controlled by Big Tech or venture capital-backed US corporations, anchored within EU jurisdiction, and designed to foster a more pluralistic information ecosystem.Source: Eurosky dawns: Building Infrastructure for Sovereign Social Media – Open Future
