Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single .. Please speak up!

@arden En Corse, on a un projet similaire mais avec une DSP. Ouvert à terme à tous les FAI, avec toutes les communes fibrées d'ici à 2023, et priorité aux emplois locaux.
Ce qui fait que les représentants de l'état français sur place essayent de bloquer le projet pour discrimination à l'embauche. Logique.

Proposition de loi contre la haine en ligne : déluge d'amendements pour généraliser la censure
Pour la première fois dans l’histoire de la régulation des nouvelles technologies, ce texte déposé à l'Assemblée nationale le 20 mars 2019, exige donc un retrait en 24 heures. Mieux, il dresse une liste fermée de contenus dits manifestement illicites concernés par cette obligation.

Last night's v2.9.1 release of #Mastodon had some bugs around audio uploads, so here is a small patch to take care of that:
#Mastodon v2.9.1 is out 🎉
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.1
A new moderation API, audio uploads, and domain blocks that extend to subdomains automatically
So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)
This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.
