🚀 Fresh off the press! I’ve just received the printed edition of 'Disinformation and Risk Society. What is at Stake with the Proliferation of Information Disorders', a collective effort to dissect the complexities of today’s information landscape. And guess what? The Fediverse takes center stage in my contribution!

In my chapter, 'Fediverse: Decentralised and Interoperable Networks in Times of Disinformation', I explore how this decentralized, community-driven ecosystem is reshaping the digital public sphere. While centralized platforms struggle with disinformation and algorithmic manipulation, the Fediverse offers a radical alternative—one built on transparency, user autonomy, and federation protocols like ActivityPub.

🔍 Key topics I explore:

🔹 The roots and evolution of decentralized online social networks (DOSNs).
🔹 The Musk Effect—how Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover fueled a migration wave to Mastodon.
🔹 The promise (and challenges) of community-driven moderation.
🔹 How the Fediverse can empower ethical, independent journalism in an era of algorithmic chaos.

This book is part of the IBERIFIER project, funded by the European Commission, and brings together top researchers tackling disinformation from multiple angles.

A huge thanks to the editors and fellow contributors for making this project a reality!

And so it seems that Threads is, in fact, losing active users day by day. No surprise there. First, they announced a massive user growth (anyone with an Instagram account can sign up with a click). At first, even Europeans managed to sign up by downloading the apk, but then they locked everything down. In the end, it became just another social platform we've seen before, just like many others, from the same old company that keeps changing its look but remains the same, with no particularly notable innovations. Many have returned (or stayed) on Twitter... uh, I mean X.
Google+, in its time, brought some substantial novelties. Threads, not so much.

Patient and conscious users (especially those who experienced the dawn of the social media era) have started to also/move to specific Mastodon instances.

All in all, Musk's arrival had the same effect as breaking a bottle: shards scatter everywhere, and there's no way to put them back together.

Musk dissolves #Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council just an hour before it was due to meet.

He’s going full on Gab for out and proud Nazis isn’t he?

Help support @stopfundinghate by ensuring that every last advertiser on Twitter knows you are boycotting them until they pull their ads from the far right fascist’s hate platform:

Dawkins wept!

San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection said Tuesday it was investigating a complaint that #Twitter had created makeshift bedrooms at its headquarters in the city, as new owner Elon Musk seeks to instill a “hardcore” culture at the social media company:

Musk has welcomed neo-Nazis back onto the platform, engaged with them on his timeline, and posted multiple tweets that appeal directly to them.

…and he’ll whine like the spoilt man-baby he is when his shitty platform is removed from App stores…
