I use this mastodon.social account as my Twitter replacement. I left Twitter December 2022 and started this account 3 months kater. No, I’m not addicted to social media, but I use it to promote my artistic endeavors, so I boost a lot.

How can a country without an anti-circumvention law handle its first trade-deal with USA?

Inspired by Cory Doctorow's Post-American Internet proposition [1], I'm thinking of the day when Iran's theocratic government falls, and the new political system starts normal economical relationship with the world.

Not only #Iran does not have any kind of anti-circumvention law, it is the biggest economy that is not a signatory to the Bern convention on copyright. Nevertheless, it has a relatively advanced and self-sufficient domestic IT world, with services for maps, video streaming, cloud services, finance, ride hailing, etc. At some point in 2021 ArvanCloud, an Iranian IT company, was the 8th highest-traffic CDN in the world.

So how would you build the almost-non-existent outward-facing economy of a big country, without falling into the usual trap of #enshittification?

Your ideas are very welcome. I would very much also like to know what Cory @pluralistic thinks about this :)

Dropped a post entitled “Music Discovery in the Fediverse” that located here: https://all-about-music.ghost.io/music-discovery-in-the-fediverse/ It discusses a new protocol to allow music discovery in opposition to modifying the existing ActivityPub and/or RSS protocols.

Well, I’ve been on this instance for almost a year and a half, and I can confirm the fediverse is much better than twitter. More engagement is the big thing. And the lack of trolls is the bonus. And I’m comparing the pre-November 2022 Twitter. Can’t imagine what a hells ape Twitter is now.
