Like maybe it made an influence to have some dolled up cybergoth transfemme on the train took him to school on education practices and alttech as a way to stick it to the man.

I know it's dumb, but damn I wanted to do something useful. Even if it was small.

We have a churning problem in #alttech.

#ActivityPub grew from #PubSubHubbub, built on #AtomPub, built on #RSS - roots in the high tide of the #openweb. Since then, progressive tech has churned sideways, while people drifted to the #dotcons and we ended up in this #techshit heap.

The #Proton Team is currently working overtime to censor their own subreddits of any mention of their direct monetary support of a french extreme-right YouTuber. You can imagine how well that is going down with their community. #ProtonMail #BuyFromEU #AltTech

I use Keet a lot lately.
This might sound like an ad, but it’s not. Just sharing something I actually use.
No servers. No data harvesting. Messages go directly between people.
I know most won’t bother trying it. That’s fine.
If you’re curious, watch this:
