After Meta's rather disturbing actions today, would you like to move to a Fediverse server that defederates Meta and Threads?
Fedi.Garden is a directory of well-run servers that have all blocked Threads:
All of them are compatible with the requirements listed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site

Folks, do you think if Threads/Meta/Mark Zuckerberg were really that bad, John Mastodon himself would partner with them? Do you think they’d even be allowed in the Social Web Foundation?
No, surely you’re mistaken.
Otherwise, what does that say about John Mastodon and the Social Web Foundation?

After 6 months and about 333 commits I proudly present:
Faircamp 1.0 – A static site generator for audio producers
https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/To recap the highlights of the past months and learn what's new in the final 1.0 release, check out the blog post: https://simonrepp.com/posts/faircamp-1.0/
Development of version 1.0 was made possible through the amazing support, funding and expertise of the @NGIZero programme and coalition, led by the @nlnet foundation and financed by the European Commission's @EC_NGI initiative – thank you so much for giving me and everyone benefitting from a better Faircamp this incredible opportunity!
Also, many thanks to all faircampers, contributors, testers, translators, bloggers, podcasters and encouraging voices for supporting this journey - for the final 1.0 release specifically to @branpos for release candidate testing, @n00q for bugreporting/testing, @limebar for the external artist page feature inspiration and @Vac for their diligent translation work.
Along with this release I've published multiple new documentation resources - from an official Linux/macOS/Windows tutorial to a 1.0 migration guide, from an overhauled reference manual to a beginner's guide to publishing faircamp (or any!) static sites - check out the website and recent posts in the #faircamp hashtag to discover them!
That's all!

- Faircamp website header, stating in bold, large typography: "A static generator for audio producers". Below that the text says "Point Faircamp to a folder hierarchy containing your audio files. Within minutes, Faircamp builds a complete website presenting your work. The resulting site requires no database, no programming, no maintenance, and is compatible with virtually every webhost on this planet." Notably there are some now items that previously did not appear on the website: 1) "Latest release: 1.0", 2) "Migration to 1.0 (Video)", 3) In the topmost header there are now buttons saying "Download", "Resources" and "Tutorial".

Back in the day on Twitter, there was (and maybe still is, dunno) an account called "scotusblog" that posted summaries of current US Supreme Court decisions. I think it was a small law firm. Their replies were completely full of angry and indignant complaints, threats, and insults from people who assumed
- that they were the Court itself and;
- that tweeting at the Court would get them to change their decisions.
I understand now a little bit what that must have been like.

Move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US content review to Texas. This will help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content.

- zuck threads: It's time to get back to our roots around free expression and giving people voice on our platforms. Here's what we're going to do: Replace fact-checkers with Community Notes, starting in the US. Simplify our content policies and remove restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are out of touch with mainstream discourse. Change how we enforce our policies to remove the vast majority of censorship mistakes by focusing our filters on tackling illegal and high-severity violations and requiring higher confidence for our filters to take action. Bring back civic content. We're getting feedback that people want to see this content again, so we'll phase it back into Facebook, Instagram and Threads while working to keep the communities friendly and positive. 5/ Move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US content review to Texas. This will help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content. Work with President Trump to push back against foreign governments going after American companies to censor more. The US has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world and the best way to defend against the trend of government overreach on censorship is with the support of the US government. It'll take time to get this all right and these are complex systems so they'll never be perfect. But this is an important step forward and I'm looking forward to this next chapter! (remote)

We'll be talking through a crash course in spinning up privacy review programs, how to calibrate them for your organization's risk level, and striking the right combination of internal experts with privacy specialists.
