The Signals NetworkIn these uncertain times, it’s crucial to recognize the role of whistleblowers in exposing the truth.

Eva WolfangelWas mich hier echt bedrückt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den großen Bühnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hätten - wenn sie ihn nutzen würden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.<a href="https://www.zeit.de/digital/2025-03/sxsw-2025-tech-konferenz-austin-usa-donald-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.zeit.de/digital/2025-03/sxsw-2025-tech-konferenz-austin-usa-donald-trump</a><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/sxsw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sxsw</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/sxsw2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sxsw2025</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a>

Preston Maness ☭Does <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/FediverseHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediverseHouse</a> sound interesting? At least a little bit. The "A Better Web Is Possible" talk by Molly ( <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@molly0xfff</a> ) sounds interesting at least, though it's a shame that only fifteen minutes appear to be allocated to it. Kit O'Connell ( <a href="https://federate.social/@oconnell" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@oconnell</a> ) is part of a talk titled "Publishers: Audience and Autonomy" that also sounds interesting. On the other hand, you've got folks from Threads and Bluesky acting as a bright blinking "CAUTION" sign.Do I live close enough to Austin to be there in-person? I suppose. It's a three to four hour drive from Fort Worth.On the other hand, it all feels very, very corporate. Very bourgy, networky, startupy. And all in the worst ways. Corporations hawking their walled gardens^W^W bespoke, artisanal feeds with only the best free-range, organic advertisements sprinkled in (sparingly, of course). The general strategy seems to be "see all of the fediverse through our app," a blatant and bold Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish play if ever there were one, only this time, sold as an act of "unifying" the oPeN SOciAl WeB.Maybe I'll be there.
