Nous traversons une période charnière avec des opportunités à saisir, mais il est difficile au petit Fédi de lutter face au montagnes de billets des VCs de Bluesky… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ceci dit, l’exemple de #Mediapart est plutôt enthousiasmant, peut-on espérer plus de contenus Radio France un jour ? 🤞

Tu joues le rôle du colibri? :-P Merci en tous cas! :-)

#Médias, #journalistes, institutions allemands sont plus enclins à adopter les réseaux libres…

Ceci dit, Florent @latrive.net (resp. strat. num. #RadioFrance) a un compte semi-actif sur masto : mastodon.zaclys.com/@latrive

Évangéliste du #Fédivers ! ;-) 🙏

P. A. Helmer y présente une histoire orientée illustrée par Hansi, des origines au Moyen Age pour ce chapitre I. Entre des dessins patriotiques, Hansi propose des caricatures féroces comme l’Alsace entre deux hebdomadaires représentés sous la forme de chiens féroces.

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse. Unfortunately that well is now poisoned. All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022. Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system. We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself. And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere. Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set. A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it. After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process. But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting. Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X. And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work. We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter

France no-confidence vote updates: Far-right and left parties plan to force out Barnier It would be the first time in more than 60 years a French government has been ousted by a no-confidence vote.

Michel Barnier to his ministers yesterday, a few minutes before hearing the results of the vote that would fell his government: "I feel sorry I dragged you into this". www.reuters.com/world/france...

It feels this week as if the best of France, and the worst, are on joint display.

The rebuilding of Notre Dame has been awe-inspiring

The calamitous failure to find political agreement on the budget, just depressing

Reposting this with right image! Our cover leader points to the dismaying contrast between France’s absolute political mess and its ability to get so much else right as Notre Dame shows. Deadlock and polarised politics are not unique to 🇫🇷, but trouble much of Europe

Le Monde gets it:
“In French, "merde!" is ambivalent: it can be used to express regret at an unenviable event or to express sincere encouragement before an ordeal”

Tribute from the 🇫🇷 navy to Notre Dame on the day it reopens, from the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier

The trouble with all this of course is that France was right

Fort bien! Pourrais-tu envisager de suivre la passerelle @ap.brid.gy pour que les gens du #Fédivers puissent s’abonner à toué de l’autre coté stp ?

This place isn't decentralized. You can store your data somewhere else but to interact with anyone using the "open protocol", you must go through relays controlled by BLUESKY. Only truly decentralized social media, where you can switch services but stay connected, makes us immune to billionaires.

@washingtonpost.com

please follow @ap.brid.gy so that people on #mastodon and other #ActivityPub services can communicate with you. we become immune to billionaire takeover when all the networks work together and it's easy to switch and stay connected. thanks.

Here is my periodic encouragement for everyone to follow @ap.brid.gy to opt in to enable your accounts to bridge over to Mastodon and other ActivityPub based networks. Just widens your social reach, helps bridge the various open social web efforts, and zero drawbacks in my experience.

#ProTip
If you're sharing anything on here. Links, art, etc...

Follow @ap.brid.gy

It'll bridge your posts over to the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey and eventually Threads) and people on that end will be able to follow you, reply, like and RT your stuff.

How Decentralized Is Bluesky Really? dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec...

A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵

We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.

Please remember that Mastodon doesn't have a marketing team or budget. Whatever media coverage Mastodon gets is from inbound interest from journalists. The growth of the platform has been predominantly through word of mouth. If you want the fediverse to grow, tell your friends.

Bridgy Fed is struggling to handle the recent flood of new Bluesky users. 10-20x usage increase, wow!

Fediverse => Bluesky is still bridging ok, but Bluesky => fediverse is well over a day behind. It'll take me some time to optimize it enough to handle the new load. Apologies for the delay!
