@dantescanline totally in love with all the names of the characters already. It all feels strangely familar, this world, this type of humor ...

@dantescanline i just started Book of the new sun, which i got cause u posted about a while ago

Dear Fedi friends,

Apologies for another toot about #WSocial but I am genuinely shaking right now.

The @EUCommission and its president Ursula von der Leyen have recently migrated their ATproto (Bluesky) accounts to W Social.

I cannot fathom why they would pick a private enterprise whose leaders didn't even have ATproto accounts 3 months ago... and who are so open to having their users' data mined to train European AI models.

My articles on them:

Wow. Just wow.

Great news, the bicameral mind is back

A reminder to anyone on Mastodon that there are some hashtags that you might want to mute, rather than unfollow a person.

So, last week was crazy 👀

The team travelled across the Channel to Amsterdam for the @publicspaces conference. There, we met with an amazing group of people - leaders in the social media space, politicians, journalists, lecturers, and many many more cool people.

And, if you didn't hear, we won the Grand Prize at the inaugural Open Social Awards 🏆️ ✨️

Here's a taste of what it looked like through the eyes of the Newsmast Foundation team...

Mi ha chiamato ora la commercialista per dirmi che sta facendo la mia dichiarazione dei redditi.

Dovrò pagare una fucilata di imposte INPS per una pensione che probabilmente non vedrò mai…

Purtroppo ho fatturato un pochino anche nel 2026 perciò non ha senso chiudere la mia partita IVA italiana e tenere solo quella olandese, con cui pago praticamente metà delle tasse che pagherei in Italia 😩

I’ve been the “someone else, somewhere else” pulling the queer children of close-minded people out of the mud for 20 years in chat rooms, and I assure you such safety nets of last resort were already quite overloaded *before* the internet decided to make being 15 illegal. And that’s assuming the kid manages to find an actual mentor and not a predator posing as one.
