On this day in 1871 the Paris Commune began. It would last just over two months and many thousands of Communards would pay for desiring their freedom with their lives. Many others, such as the anarchist Louise Michel, would be sentenced to exile in French Polynesia.

Raphael Glucksmann is a pro-war macron-like hypocrite, the billionaires must dream of him president and Macron prime minister. His past is not very nice and in present his party, place publique, is not democratic even though they say the opposite.
He doesn't understand really what liberty's statue mean.
In France we can make tutos for liberty statues building ,o)

@ErikUden This is not a minor issue. #Mastodon was all about #freedom. Now the number of arbitrary rules I have to obey makes this platform a hostile environment. Arguing with readability while the inferior #UX stems from deliberate developer decisions is quite ridiculous. Forcing me to repeat myself is a red line I hope you do not dare to cross.
Sad enough the #fediverse has become what it was trying to fight against.
Let’s go Wisconsin! Important election coming up.

I believe Wisconsin has early voting for it’s supreme court - in case April 1 is a hard day for you. And I hope you’ll choose Crawford. Note that Melon Husk wants Schimel interpreting your laws.
@zbrando @morrick @ueeu You’re not wrong.
But, looking ahead, we can do so much better than the commercial domain name system.
Commercial domain names are a gold standard example of artificial scarcity. A domain name registrar cost next to nothing to operate. It’s tiny rows of text in a database. It could easily be free to own your own domain name – a huge part of what constitutes identity – on the Internet.
In fact, a non-commercial service has been operational for 24 years. It would be trivial to regulate that browsers in the EU implement support for it and work together with, say, @letsencrypt to ensure it can handle TLS.
That would be an amazing addition to the commons and a future-proof way forward that we could lead on with next to no investment.

What NASA’s two astronauts who have been stuck in space since before Trump’s inauguration see upon their return to Earth.
Who loves freedom! Lets all join together then so we can collectively protect and enjoy freedom. Mexico should be invited along with some other countries like Japan and South Korea that enshrine democratic values (India will have to make big changes first).
EU + Commonwealth + Mexico + Japan + South Korea = New World Order

It’s crucial to separate open as in open for business (to enclose) from free as in freedom. The former is not about freedom but privatisation.
@skykiss let’s hope more than a few people gathers there. #freedom #democracy #uspolitics #trumpism #trump #donaldtrump
How did an enslaved man become both a #war hero and Congressman?
In 1862, Robert Smalls sailed a Confederate ship to #freedom, later returning to establish #SouthCarolina's first public school system while serving in #Congress.

“Musk lashed out at…senator Mark Kelly on social media yesterday, after Kelly posted pictures of his recent trip to Ukraine, …concluding “it’s important we stand with Ukraine.” Musk responded: “You are a traitor.” Kelly…responded: “Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.”

"This is nothing new. Operating on Tor for over 12 years, we knew going in that we would have infrastructure in xx-eyes countries and be subject to potential sniffing.
I'll let you in on a little secret. The time people spend obsessing about hiding from the government puts you in a de facto state of servitude to them. They do not require any form of operation psychological or physical space. Most people have created their own psyop.
If all of this bothers you, cut your fibre line and live in a cave."

I needed to read that, especially now and especially in light of recent events, and I cannot possibly be alone in that regard.

Live in a country that doesn't censor the net?
You can run a snowflake proxy for those living under strict Internet censorship and allow them to gain information and knowledge that their government forbids.
Help keep the internet free for all.
