Suor Tiziana Merletti, ora nominata segretaria del Dicastero per gli istituti di vita consacrata e le società di vita apostolica, nel 2021 scriveva:
«Quando si parla di abusi sessuali, fondamentalmente non parliamo di impulsi sessuali, soddisfatti contro la volontà di un’altra persona. Piuttosto abbiamo a che fare con abusi di potere, che si esprimono in privilegi, arroganza, dominio sulle persone, controllo e manipolazione delle coscienze, privazione della libertà, distorsione della realtà».
Non è però questa la definizione perfetta di religione?
«Quella di masto host è una decentralizzazione finta, perchè — anche se le istanze sono tante — c'è un'entità che tiene le chiavi di tutte. E se un giorno masto host decide di vendere le chiavi a un multimiliardario a caso?».
«Riguardo a internet, poteva andare in due modi. Poteva essere che un po' alla volta si sviluppavano gli strumenti per dare a chiunque fosse interessato i mezzi per comunicare ed esprimere le proprie idee in modo libero e decentralizzato. Oppure poteva essere che il capitalismo fiutava l'affare. È andata nel secondo modo».

...poi dici, perchè snac?
Eh...fondamentalmente per due motivi.
Motivo uno: non fa cose in più. Che poi è come dovrebbe essere un codice che funziona, no? Pulito.
Motivo due: con una cifra più o meno pari a quella che spendo per l'host+il dominio potevo fare masto host e avere un'istanza pronta. Ma. Ma Mastodon fa cose in più, un sacco in realtà. E soprattutto perchè è vero che quella di masto host è una decentralizzazione finta, perchè anche se le istanze sono tante c'è un'entità che tiene le chiavi di tutte.
E se un giorno masto host decide di vendere le chiavi a un multimiliardario a caso?
Dici: non succede. Ma il punto è che potrebbe succedere e il fatto che potrebbe succedere conferma che è una decentralizzazione finta.Ora: io ho delle idee riguardo a internet.
Il fatto è che poteva andare in due modi.
Poteva essere che un po' alla volta si sviluppavano gli strumenti per dare a chiunque fosse interessato, a fronte di un contributo volontario -o anche a gratis o magari per baratto - i mezzi per comunicare ed esprimere le proprie idee in modo libero e decentralizzato.
Oppure poteva essere che il capitalismo fiutava l'affare.E' andata nel secondo modo, ma questo non mi impedisce di continuare a pensare che sia sbagliato. Quindi mi oppongo. Come posso. Suggerendo anche ad altre persone di opporsi e supportando altri che si oppongono.

Ragazza
nel silenzio la tristezza che hai.
Mi parli
la voce dolce come non mai.
Ricordi
quei tuoi ripensamenti
Vorresti sentirti più sicura di te.
Eppure
ti guardi intorno
e adesso lo sai
che la vita è dura
tu sfidarla dovrai.
Credevi che ogni sogno fosse gratis
invece il mondo è ben diverso da un film!
Lo sai
e ogni tanto guardi il cielo
sereno
— che grande sensazione ti dà —
Il mondo, certe volte, a te fa così
Ti chiede se mai un giorno ce la farai
a rendere queste nostre vite così:
stupende, come le montagne laggiù.
A Orson
Foreste inesplorate.
Radure dimenticate.
Occhi che mi guardano,
Cuccioli divertiti.
Fra i rami, i raggi del sole
Disegnano figure che non comprendo
E adesso capisco che mi sono perso
Qui, dove vivi.
Cuccioli che giocano
S'inseguono senza un perché.
È tutto così strano,
Così diverso dalla mia città.
Sui marciapiedi, nelle strade
Dove tu sei passato
Aghi di pino, foglie morte
Mi hanno detto che l'intero tuo mondo
Era qui.
E adesso corri, giochi anche tu.
Gridi forte: «Viva la libertà!!!».
Sorridi a una nuvola sola nel cielo.
E giochi.
E corri.
Lontano dalla mia città.
Can't wait! [edit: anzi, a rileggermi, CAN wait. Dieci anni.]

Something to learn about the Fediverse is that it’s not about “need” it’s about desire. No one needs to make anything but if devs desire to make it, then it will be made—simple as that.
Mastodon may have some elements of image-sharing but that’s a secondary feature. Even then, its image-sharing abilities are limited and will always be subservient to being a Twitter-like microblog.
Pixelfed’s primary purpose is image-sharing, and text is secondary. In fact, you can’t just share text in Pixelfed—text-only posts are filtered out.
Many people also prefer the UI/UX of Pixelfed over Mastodon, and their preference is simply their preference. They won’t use Mastodon just because Mastodon can share images.
Nevertheless, Mastodon is made better when it can communicate with different ActivityPub-enabled platforms.

with all the folks lauding the move to #Pixelfed I'm gonna have to set a hard limit - the creator is transmisic and a gaslighter, and demonstrably gives zero shits about safety and ethics.spanner.works
@bouncinglime @KristinHenry Multiple times, you’ve tried to hijack my mentions by sending this exact same message. The last time I replied to you, you did not reply back.
I now regard you as a spammer, and I don’t tolerate spam.
@cb I thought about that, but I think it may be too Twitter-like for this list.

@LScottSpencer Well, Pixelfed just released its mobile app last week. It takes time to build a community there, but it double in size over the last month – so it’s coming along nicely.
Peertube is a different story because video is quite expensive, which means the bulk of server owners limit registrations on their servers – which also limits the network effect.
All that said, you can build a bustling community on all those services but the skillset is quite different from a service like Threads. You cannot depend on figuring out with the algorithm likes, and thus scale your content for maximum engagement. Instead, you have to take the pre-algorithmic approach of building relationships with people instead of hoping a bunch of randos will just suddenly find your content in their feed.
@LScottSpencer Your judging by the wrong metrics.
It’s not about number of interactions. It’s about talking to people who care.
You see, I know exactly what to say to get stuff to go viral on the Fediverse, but most of the time I choose not to. And actually, I often delete stuff because it goes viral.
The few people who comment on my posts about campy sci-fi and horror movies? Those comments mean something to me.

@LScottSpencer Sorry, I don’t understand. What are you angry about? That you don’t get 20,000 engagements here like you do on Threads?
If that’s what’s important to you, okay. 🤷♂️
To me, that’s just a number. I’d rather measure engagements on quality instead of quantity. But you do you.
Tech noob here - is Pixelfed a separate app, or somehow part of the basic mastodon view?
I'd like to see some screenshots of how it looks in use. (^_^)*
I would also love to figure out how to be able to write longer posts in here.
@hiisikoloart It’s a separate app, but like Mastodon, it uses ActivityPub.
In terms of how it looks, imagine Instagram circa 2012.
