And I thought the network propaganda was bad before.

#Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

–Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

Well, she does have a verified account so that's good:

@fdroidorg @marcprux Thank you, it is not at all evident from the website.

I'm sure you can see how this direct connection to the F-Droid org along with the information as presented on the site could be perceived as a conflict of interest.

I share the very serious concerns expressed by #keepandroidopen, hence the criticism specific to the associated website in my initial post. Android users deserve to be informed of either a symmetrically curated short list or all viable alternatives.

@fdroidorg Is the website I was solely addressing in my post maintained or hosted by the F-Droid project or team members?

I don't even know what to think about #keepandroidopen:

The website doesn't have a word about #grapheneos, #obtainium, or #accrescent yet lists every possible insecure device and rom, and presents #fdroid (with well-known serious security issues of its own) as if it were the only option for installing apps?

Either the people behind the website are woefully unqualified to make recommendations or they have an agenda not much more in the interest of users than Google's.

Unacceptable. And suspicious timing.

To be candid, a day on #UpScrolled is the most I can remember ever enjoying social media aside from my own live stream.

Part of that is because I have an anon account for Google Play which is sandboxed in #GrapheneOS as well as sitting in an auto-locking private space.

Even the shitposting had character and true diversity. I'm not seeing people using it for lame advertising and boring bots and boosting influencers. Sure, maybe that'll come, but maybe live streaming or federation will, too.

#FrancescaAlbanese is banned from using the "pro #Palestine" platform, I guess. #UpScrolled #TikTok

Boy am I sick to fucking death of condemnations and rejections and concerns and strongly worded statements and slams and demands and calls for immediate plans to convene committees to discuss inquiries into allegations. #gaza #venezuela

My single favorite televised (late) night of the year used to be this season when Dave and Jay would throw footballs at the tree trying to knock the meatball off of the pizza on top.

Those nights are over and any talk of a war on Xmas that doesn't mention it is empty rhetoric.

You know you can embed the #owncast #streaming video player and chat interface into your web site, right?

Also, you can make it so when somebody says "TO BILL BRASKY!!" in chat, you can make the system reply "He's a 10 foot-tall beast-man who showers in vodka and feeds his baby shrimp scampi."

Well, see for yourself if you don't believe me!

Clearly I just want you to come watch my stream. I'm never gonna use all this bandwidth.

"The Gaza genocide, yes, it's the moral test of our time but once you've passed that test you have to see the big picture: The same system that's pushing #NATO forces onto #Russia's borders, encircling #China, that toppled the government in #Syria, that's pushing war with #Iran, is the same system that reduced #Gaza to rubble. And so you can't disconnect the two. It's the imperial transatlantic system."

"Western politics is getting more and more diseased, and US politics is leading the way. It’s making people dumber, crazier, and more hateful, and is preventing them from seeing that the real minority that’s been causing everyone’s problems are the rich and powerful oligarchs and empire managers […]. Keep ordinary members of the public hating each other and fighting each other, and they won’t start hating and fighting their actual oppressors."

"What this story highlights is that #socialmedia is not a neutral global town square, but rather a battleground being silently fought over. Over the past decade, the U.S. national #securitystate has infiltrated major social media platforms, in a successful attempt to manipulate the public debate and influence what the world sees and does not see. This influence operation dwarfs any schemes of which official enemy nations are accused."

I've become obsessed with #fermentation but, like, organically. I mean, all these projects started pretty much independently within a matter of weeks before I fully realized the theme. #levain #sourdough #kimchi #tej #mead #perique #tobacco
