Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online
The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.
I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

As of today, it's the deadline of Thursday.
Please call your Reps to demand KOSA does not get through AT ALL!
For KOSA is a bill that will harm Trans communities; our individual safeties and many more.
Don't delay, make calls.
All from outside the US, share FAR AND WIDE!

Since many have removed their discord nitro subscription, maybe support places that actually seem to care more like example: comicfury and pillowfort and such?.
Keep smaller profited place alive so we can still thrive on those. Specially places who are nsfw and artist friendly and donβt allow genai

With all thats happening with *gestures vaguely at everything*, its important to have independent platforms like #Pillowfort. Bluesky is doing well, but I've always preferred platforms with more versatility towards long-form blogging.

Pillowfort: Good folks, good art & posts, can get good discussions on a variety of topics, especially web & all the garbage going on in the world. In particular I love sharing my art and my neocities web progress & I love seeing others share theirs too. It's funded by users and is against genAI. +

I've got a Facebook and an Instagram because that's where readers are, but I am not relying on them.
Alternatives: Pillowfort is small right now with a delightfully random jumble of a userbase. I suspect many will like their policies on NSFW (allowed, just tag it!) and AI (not allowed).

Pillowfort is small and scrappy! It may not have all the modern features you're used to in a SM site, but it's not owned by anyone who literally goes to the White House to have dinner with Trump, and sickeningly in this day and age that is becoming a rarity.

I remember being told when Pillowfort was still young that there was "no room" in the social media marketplace for competitors, and since then I've gotten to watch almost every major social media network kneecap itself by either becoming a fascist cesspit or through general enshittification

I hate to seem like I'm just using this situation to promote my website but like... this is WHY Pillowfort exists. Pillowfort was created in 2017 before so many of the big sites got bought out by fascist billionaires, but it's become much more relevant since then.

There are multiple reports of TikTok censoring anti-ICE content since the site went under new ownership. It has never been more important for independent social media to exist
