Here we have another wonderful edition of Katy Jay's #MixedFeelings radio show on Skylab Radio.
mixcloud.com/skylabradio/mixed…
I caught most of it live when it aired yesterday but missed the beginning so I'm catching up on that now - how great to see that Katy Jay included my remix of JG Stockton's Xylophonics II.
The Xylophonics Remixed EP was released earlier this month via Dragon Trax Recordings and includes stellar remixes by @ordosmarkzero and @ireless. Check it out!

Dieses Jahr keine #Pride-Flaggen mehr erlaubt, #Israel trotz Völkermord wieder dabei bei der Happy #Genocide Party.
»Die Organisator*innen der Europäischen Rundfunkunion (#EBU) erklären demnach in ihrer neuen Flaggenrichtlinie, dass damit "politische Botschaften vermieden werden" sollten.«
Offensichtlich, ja.
Und mehr poste ich zu diesem Kadaver von Wettbewerb auch nicht mehr.

Le journaliste Hassan Slayeh a été tué aujourd’hui par une frappe israélienne sur l’hôpital Nasser à Khan Younès. Il s’y remettait de ses blessures après avoir été déjà ciblé le 7 avril dans une tente dédiée à la presse.

With asshole mods and asshole users running amok around instances unchecked while playing victim when the favor is returned to them. I find that the fediverse as a whole is just like any other socializing platform. No different, just a different coat of paint and a neat little mechanic in how it operates. But, still the same old shit.
How disappointing.

So.... then host your own instance and set up your own rules and mod /de-federation how you see fit?
It's an offer you don't have to take as-is, and this shows it's the exact opposite of a failure: you can be the change you demand from others.

No, this is not the same old shit, because while yes of course humans are still humans and will do shitty human things the difference is that there is no easy way to enclose the Fediverse and force an opinion, censor people speaking out against injustice. or hold the entire network hostage to push a profit for investors.
The Fediverse is still definitely vulnerable to those things, and who knows if longterm whether a large corporation or constellation of authoritarian regimes can critically undermine the Fediverse (we will certainly see attempts at some point), but no matter what happens, anybody can still spin up their own instance of Mastodon, Lemmy or any other fediverse software and start creating a new community.
From the perspective of an authoritarian ruling class, the problem of quelling dissent in the masses has gone from buying the one or two tv conglomerate networks that provide news for 100s of millions of people, buying Twitter and sabotaging it, or buying Reddit and paying someone to manipulate it with bots and ban people saying things they don't like, to a Sisyphean hell of having to keep stamping out Fediverse communities wherever they pop up, in whatever country or legal context they happen to pop up all over the globe.
If you think that the Fediverse taking off and reaching a critical mass where lots of people use it daily for normal social media stuff isn't a strategic failure for the dictators and ruthless capitalists willing to create mass murder if it nets them a profit, I don't know what to tell you...
edit maybe this is going too into the conspiracy weeds here to be useful to conjecture about, but until the Fediverse took off virtually ALL online communities with any vibrancy were moving to Discord, and it scared the hell out of me because it would have made the attempt to silence dissent right now across the world and more specifically in my country a trivial task if there was simply no alternative that was anywhere near ready to function for people as a basis for their community. Corporate social media is full of voices refusing to be silenced about the Palestinian Genocide... but would those activists feel so comfortable and would corporate social media companies feel restrained at all if there was no truly no alternative to their social network for communicating online?
I will never forget how almost everybody in my life would basically laugh at me years ago when I voiced concern about Discord vacuuming up seemingly every significant online community, but just think about how right now would be vastly different if activists had NOWHERE to go online if they got banned from Twitter or Discord or Reddit............

Le fait que ces #massacres, ce nettoyage ethnique pratiqué depuis des centaines de jours par les sionistes puisse devenir une normalité quotidienne acceptable en dit très long sur le niveau de conscience général occidental. Éventuellement une petite phrase entre amis ou en famille du genre « Oh oui, c'est horrible ... » et puis on passe vite à autre chose (en lisant le Canard ou en écoutant franceInter...) parce que de toute façon « on peut rien faire », .....alors que si la moitié du quart des présents sur les réseaux sociaux publiaient tous les jours la-dessus, cela aurait de l'importance et de l'impact....mais non, elles/ils continuent de publier les petites émotions de leur petite vie cocoonée et la vie de leur clébard a plus d'effet sur eux que de cautionner silencieusement des massacres quotidiens. Elles/ils ne veulent pas en parler ni ne veulent voir les images et les vidéos... « c'est trop horrible !. »

James Baldwin: The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their "vital interests" are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity" of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilized world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Anyone reading this in the continental US looking for an antique but well preserved baby grand piano (that will see use?). My friend Anna is executor of her parents estate and she really wants to re-home the family piano that her family has owned for 100+ years. The estate will pay for shipping anywhere in the continental US.
She acknowledges that baby grand pianos and pianos in general are out of style but this would mean a lot to her after a rough year.

Für die Menschen unter uns. ✨
Ich der den Hut vor keinem zieht,
vor keinem Herren niederkniet
und dessen Nacken nicht lernt sich zu neigen.
Ich komm, weil ich dir sagen will,
Dein Beispiel macht mich klein und still
und bringt mein freches Lästern mal zum Schweigen.
Die Kinder hängen an Dir dran,
keins das allein auskommen kann,
ich seh Dich aus der kleinen Herde ragen.
Mißliebige Blicke manchmal
sie sind nicht so genannt normal
laß mich für die sprachlosen Münder sagen . . .
Hab Dank für deine Zeit.
Hab Dank für deine Freundlichkeit,
für die Arbeit deiner Hände,
für den Mut der Wiederstände
überwindet, und alle Engstirnigkeit.
Hab Dank für deine Zeit.
Du, die im Altenheim wie's heißt
geduldig zuzuhören weist,
wo wir die alten Leute nur verwalten.
Denen, die dort vergessen sind,
bist du Verwanter, Freund und Kind,
der einzige Besuch, den sie erhalten.
Du in dem großen Krankenhaus
machst deinen Dienst tagein, tagaus
und du besitzt die Kraft Leiden zu mindern.
Kein Ruhm, kein Orden der dir fehlt,
die Aufgabe, die dich beseehlt,
ist Trost zu geben und Schmerzen zu lindern . . .
Zu seh'n, daß es Leute wie dich
unter uns gibt, das tröstet mich
und die Gewißheit dessen ist mit teuer.
Ein Funke deiner Menschlichkeit
wärmt mich in unsrer rauen Zeit
und leuchtet wie ein großen Freudenfeuer . . .
