Fukkin ban the website.
There’s already laws for it, just ban it.
We can also ban the far right AfD. The law allows it and almost everyone who knows enough about the German law supports it saying that it has good chances to be successful, but still nothing happens. It has been over one year since we got probably the biggest protests since the reunification of Germany, they happened after reports of members of the AfD being part of a meeting where they planned mass deportations, and no political party gave a damn about it.
It’s almost as if the financial elite doesn’t rally care about freedom and all that democracy bullshit.
What the hell took them so fucking long. Anyone still using Xitter is a fascist enabler.
Well ain't that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can't possibly be true...
Like: Vacation in SA = Support butchering of Journalists.
It's really that easy. Give money to evil people (on purpose knowingly)... support evil shit.
Consumersnhave some responsibility too. Everything else is deflection and: Mimimimi
Like Nestle... avoid their products, kill the company. "But I like Nesquick"... Alright, eat Nesquick kill some Chocolate Framers for it, but be aware what you do.
Everything else is deflection and: Mimimimi
I always chuckle when I see this in the wild. For non-Germans: mimimi is mocking what someone said, like they are whining, for instance if they proclaim something is unfair.
Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?
"You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no", like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren't responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.
You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.
That's like saying, "if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii". Shits just not true.
Leave it and....
Leave it and....
block that steaming pile of garbage.
It's critical to make this asshat's soapbox irrelevant.
That’s a cartoon waiting to happen. Musk jumping up and down on his dilapidated soapbox, in the center of X plaza, surrounded only by his bots. It’s the glorious final stage of the echo chamber.
“Right wing populist content”
Just call it what it is: lying to stir up hatred.
Remember when "social media" was our friends posting vacation pictures on their glitter-GIF-dumpster MySpace pages and memes were about funny cats who couldn't spell, instead of both being weaponized fashy-virus vectors?
And now we're talking about entire nations banning internet platforms thanks to ultra-rich crybabies using meme-fluence to buy elections.
. . .man. . . :(
Anyway, yeah Germany, we're over here on our own community-led open-source infrastructure having a great time, jus'sayin.
I've heard your people even have the best memes too!
Germany's feds better not start a tiktok. :(
Germany's feds better not start a tiktok. :(
Sorry to inform you, but this has already happened. Some police departments have an account and do ultra cringe marketing on there. Than we have our Nazi party AfD spitting bullshit and hatred and then other parties who also do some cringe shit.
Germany's feds better not start a tiktok. :(
The german police already has. It is very cringe, as expected.
Edit: And I'm pretty sure a lot of political parties are on there as well. I dont have tiktok though, so idk.
Good fucking riddance. What took them so long?
Lazyness. Incompetence. Lack of know. Lack of Care.
The same shit everywhere.
Please rest of the world - SHUN Musk and to whatever degree you can, also Trump, exactly like this. Their egos can't handle it, and your efforts to de-legitimize them both may be one of our most effective weapons to limit the damage they do.
Leave Twitter and go where?
With this question unanswered, the sentiment is not very powerful.
Worse, if the answer is "go to Bluesky" or some other institution with a trust structure identical to Twitter, the sentiment is totally meaningless.
Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn't also a private company.
Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.
As far as I can tell, all real accounts are all hosted on Bluesky's servers. Until that changes, it's centralised, de facto.
I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won't double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)
Here's a wild idea - go to the official website of the institution and click the "news" tab.
It's like people forgot how the World Wide Web works.
Not a push notification.
RSS
Yeah, I thought of that. RSS doesn't actually do push notifications, though. At least, I'm pretty sure. It's based on polling from the subscribers' clients.
I don’t remember all the technobabble but am almost sure Apple push notifications are actually ’pulled’.
Regardless, there are some sweet RSS reader apps which make it seem like push notifications.
This solves spreading the news.
It doesn’t have a trust structure identical to Twitter though.
Can I start my own bluesky server and communicate with theirs?
Yep
So to be clear, I don't need to make an account on bluesky's servers at all in order to participate in their network?
Yeah you can set up your own PDS pretty easily I think.
For hosting your own entire bluesky it’s more difficult but no technical blocker afaik just poor documentation and tooling because they’re focusing on refining the protocol and improving scaling first.
Neat, I guess, but for as long as it's Bluesky servers handling all of the actual real accounts, it's no different from Twitter.
Meanwhile, AP already has hundreds of independent servers each with their own accounts.
I mean that is just objectively wrong. There are clear differences between it and Twitter.
Mastodon is dogshit and will never gain popularity until they fix it to be more like bsky so it’s irrelevant.
It is not meaningless to deny X/Twitter content and legitimacy. It may not be the solution you want but it ultimately hurts X/Twitter which hurts Elon. That’s all that matters to most people.
Couldn't the same thing happen to Bluesky, though?
Absolutely but we are fucking over Elon right now… and that is all that matters at the moment.
X is pronounced like "icks" in German. Appropriate.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
