Mastodon is an alternative to Twitter.


The mess that ensued after Twitter was taken over by billionaire Elon Musk led many devoted users to stop using the social media site. Since then, many alternatives have emerged and gained popularity, including Jack Dorsey's BlueSky and Mastodon.

I didn't see any difference in the sign-up process or the app's design, which pretty well mimics Twitter's functionality. In contrast to Twitter, Mastodon bills itself as a decentralised open-source network that doesn't sell user data or employ an algorithm feed.

Mastodon has not gained popularity in part because to technical issues with the software, ambiguity about how it should be used, and the tiny number of users who joined the network. Around 70,000 users left Twitter for it.

Even if the platform's performance has substantially improved over the past year, and many of its technical issues have been resolved, many users still find it challenging to navigate and frequently quit the network because there aren't any well-known celebrities or personalities there.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden met with the CEOs of some of the largest AI firms, including Microsoft and Alphabet's Google, and emphasised the need for them to make sure their technologies are secure before they are used. The popularity of apps like ChatGPT has made the term "generative artificial intelligence" popular this year, spurring a rush among businesses to release comparable products they hope would alter the nature of work. Millions of users have started experimenting with these tools, whose proponents claim can make medical diagnoses, write screenplays, create legal briefs, and debug software. As a result, there is growing worry that the technology could result in privacy violations, skew employment decisions, and be used in power scams and misinformation campaigns. The hazards that AI poses to people, society, and national security were discussed by Biden, who has used ChatGPT and experimented with it, according to the White House. T...

Online Safety Bill age checks won’t be done by Wikipedia

According to its foundation, Wikipedia will not submit to any age verifications mandated by the Online Safety Bill. It would "violate our commitment to collect minimal data about readers and contributors," according to Rebecca MacKinnon of the Wikimedia Foundation, which sponsors the website. A senior member of Wikimedia UK is concerned that the website might be blocked as a result. However, according to the government, only services that pose the greatest risk to children will require age verification. There are millions of entries on Wikipedia, created and edited by tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the world in hundreds of different languages. According to information from analytics company SimilarWeb, it is the seventh most popular website in the UK. The Online Safety Bill, which is presently before Parliament, will completely take effect sometime in 2024 and requires digital companies to safeguard users from harmful or illegal informat...
