Keti Koti, wat letterlijk ‘ketenen gebroken’ betekent, vindt plaats op 1 juli en verwijst naar 1 juli 1863, de dag waarop #Nederland de #slavernij heeft afgeschaft in de koloniën. Toch moesten de tot slaaf gemaakten nog tien jaar doorwerken en werden de slavenhouders gecompenseerd door de overheid.

Hoewel deze dag op steeds meer plekken en steeds groter wordt ‘gevierd' is het nog altijd geen nationale #feestdag. Ondanks vele initiatieven zeggen tegenstanders van dit idee ofwel bang te zijn voor te veel verschillende dagen van het vieren van vrijheid of de afbraak van de 4 en 5 mei viering. Wij denken dat al deze deze drogredenen terug te voeren zijn op witte onschuld.

The Verge goes deep on who killed Google Reader, ten years after its demise. I’ve always been furious about this, and somehow, reading this made me even angrier. https://www.theverge.com/23778253/google-reader-death-2013-rss-social

in other news, Twitter hat vom WWW deförderiert

edit: Nitter geht auch nicht mehr

people need to learn how to pirate again

It's annoying how many things you sign up for where they don't ask for legal documents at sign up, but then when you want to change your name, suddenly they need ID.

Feels deliberate and I hate it.

lol one of the founders of neopets joined the /r/neopets discord server to shill his new crypto thing and when nobody gave a shit he went "i fucking hate neopets" "wish id never made it because of this chat" and posted a picture of him flipping everyone off

"But small creators deserve a viable advertising business model" is not the moral statement you think it is.

If you care about small creators being able to viably do things, you will do the correct thing, which is work to implement UBI.

Or overthrow capitalism.

But we can start with UBI.

I think that's a symptom of looking at the fediverse the same way we do at a corporation. corporations need quick, large scale, growth to ensure that their platform is commercially viable.

this does not reflect the growth needed for a healthy community in the slightest. the fedi won't get disbanded by shareholders if we don't grow. it doesn't matter if there is 50 000 or a billion fediverse "users"

what matters is that the fediverse can organically scale in a way that maintains the integrity of its core values. anything that acts against this is counterproductive to the project as a whole and should be rejected by the community

Fedi and Matrix are queer dating apps
