A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”
YES!! #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon
As always a huge thank you for the Senator's @… ongoing activism. It WILL happen. (and by it I mean, government going to the social web... Bluesky is just a temporary blip until it too goes fascist or we get some proper digital sovereignty laws in place.)

As horrid, tragic, and fascist as this day's news has been... the one bright spot around here is that people are learning about why federated, peer distributed, and non-corporate platforms are essential for our democracy.
We used to all* believe that this was what made the corporate platforms special, but that was just a fake, a feint, and ultimately, a fascism.
sharing this video is democracy, freedom,
resistance.
Spread the word! The #SocialWeb will fight this tyranny!
*tbf: some folks saw the writing on the wall better and a lot earlier than the rest of us. Respect to them.
