So Fediverse who else should we be reading when we worry about Internet Freedom?
About the centralisation dangers and censorship on the internet?
Who are we drowning out?

@onepict not Fediverse, but Rest of World provides a useful corrective:

We’re a global nonprofit publication covering the impact of technology beyond the Western bubble.

@onepict Chinese activists. The PRC has the most sophisticated and comprehensive internet censorship and filtering mechanism in the world, and importantly: they also export their technology and knowledge to other repressive regimes.
The Great Firewall Report site for technical reports and descriptions of censorship mechanisms: https://gfw.report/en/
The Net4People forum, hosted on Github issues, where people (not only Chinese but also Russians, Iranians, etc) discuss network censorship: https://github.com/net4people/bbs -

The community is broadly interested in resisting tech authoritarianism, using open technology for societal good, ensuring digital freedom, and preserving democracy in our anti-democratic technological age.
I think the best way to get an idea is to look at the talks from the previous g0v summit (@summit) from 2024: https://summit.g0v.tw/2024/agenda/

thank you for my sharing my essays! I’ll resume writing them this year. I’m almost done with my first paper submission (also on software freedom and social participation)! -

@onepict I tend to boost them when I see them, and I often write from a systems perspective on topics related to privacy, et al, from a global perspective.
Been involved at the WSIS level in the past, the LAC region (pretty much a lost cause), etc.
Writing's on KnowProSE.com, increasingly so.
Not self promoting. Looking for like minds myself.

@violetmadder @onepict As an #autistic, #Mastodon is one of the only Social media platforms I can stomach, as it's toned down, with no invasive, distracting garbage built into the platform. No ads, no algorithms, just a small army of abrasive, sensationalist, agenda-loudmouthed people needing to be muted and blocked. Then it's awesome.
