I can see <a class="hashtag" href="https://wizard.casa/collections/tags/theonion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theOnion</a> writing that sh!tOkay I thought the idea was so funny i decided to waste a few hours of my life...Australian Police freeze all $12 in child's bank account after caught operating a Mitra social server for himself and his friends.The Freeless family thought it was a normal Friday morning in their little New Slave Wales farmhouse, but as Mike Freeless' 6am alarm went off for another day of horticultural schooling, the Australian Police came bursting into the home, raiding it for an old computer game system called a Wii. Police threatened to kidnap the young boy unless he gave them the passwords to his retrofitted Wii computer, which they allege is serving a "Mitra" social server.What is a Mitra social server and why was it a problem? Mitra, Sanskrit for "Friend", is a type of free software that anyone with some skill can operate, which can turn the computer into its own little social media platform. Not only that Mitra is unique in that it is designed to federate with other servers over a permission-less internet called I2P (Invisible Internet Protocol).This system of social federation is called Fediverse, and has been labelled as "dangerous" by governments, researchers and internet experts. In Australia operating a social platform without banning people under 16 is an offense punishable by up to $50million-gazzillion dollars. All recreational users of the internet in Australia need to confirm that they are at least 16 years old and they do this by having their face scanned, the area between their anus and genitals scanned, and must provide their phone number. At any moment they should be prepared to recite using their natural voice their Digital ID code or JPMorganSwisse CreditScore code.Although there have been no major crimes stemming from the use of Fediverse, the vast community that has grown in Fediverse tend to reject Western values, such as life insurance, advertising, and posting selfies. In some extreme cases Fediverse has even been known to help people feel welcome. Cunstibble Spoonfeed calls Fediverse social network, "a highly moderated and self-sustaining autonomous zone where people do and say almost whatever they want and it never seems to stop.""The anti-corporate propaganda catches on like wildfire on Fediverse, we tried setting up accounts for McGoneolds, Nitie and Cocaine-cola, but they were rejected. Fedi is just a place for people! What's worse, many of them are not telling each other who they really are. I know for a fact that one person on Fediverse refuses to get a driver's license. They just build trust without giving their phone number, or sharing their gory injuries. And when they do share a gory injury they warn people that its gory. You could call it a communist paradise, but they are not even all communists, I can't describe them. It should horrify us all that these creative people clearly enjoy themselves without a single billionaire telling them whats trending. It makes me want to die," Cunstibble lamented.Authorities in Australia take online happiness very seriously. In 2020, <a class="hashtag" href="https://wizard.casa/collections/tags/switter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a>, a fediverse server for sex workers. Was forced to shutdown due to Australian laws that would have potentially caused sensitive information about their sex work activities to be exposed to police.So it is for this reason that police wanted to read all Mike's communications on the server. They wanted to know whether the 14 y.o. was pimping between classes. "It can be pretty lonely on the farm," said Orificer Infora Penny. "We had reason to believe he might be trafficking his teenage peers while tending to the tomatoes".Mike refused to provide the passwords to his Wii, and was kidnapped into custody. Police have frozen $12 in his bank account. Despite the ordeal his parents remain proud of their son. "The Mitra fediverse server has always worked really well, there was a small problem with hashtags when they ended with a quotation mark but I think the lead developer, Silver Pill, knows about it. We enjoyed being able to talk to our son over the fediverse and over the i2p invisible internet", said his mother.Mike's father spoke about how he used paid subscriptions to give pocket money to his son, "Mitra is a really special type of fedi server because it allows paid subscriptions a bit like Patreason, but better because it's not being spied on by Clownflare servers in the U.S., (...) I began giving him his pocket money in crypto directly.""We opened a bank account for him to pay the phone carrier. If the police take that money Mike will just switch to using wifi hotspots. Our son hates the The Fed and central banks and the carriers that sell location data to data brokers anyway. He want's a future where farmers can not only save for the future, but enjoy more privacy in a more circular economy and he think that involves cryptocurrencies."Because of their support for their son's offense of operating social media for under-16s. Child Protection Services have also taken Mike's sister into foster care, and is being deported to Ukraine, where a loving foster home is ready to accept her.We spoke to one of Mike's friends, who described Mike as a person who would never human traffick. "I never even got a butt pic, let alone a dick pic" said Eddy.Mike's friends refuse to cooperate with police because they believe the "uniformed thugs" were responsible for the Denial of Service (DoS) attack, prior to Mike's kidnapping.(the names in this story have been changed to protect the children)CC-BY-SA 4.0

Siluetas JonesHi loves! Don't forget I'm available for some hot fun.

e. hashman 🇵🇸For the new joiners to the fediverse, some related history. There used to be a large (>47k user) sex worker-focused server called <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/Switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a>, that was ultimately shut down by Cloudflare after SESTA/FOSTA passed in the US, despite being hosted in Australia. <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xk78x/switter-down-cloudflare-banned-sex-workers-sesta-fosta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xk78x/switter-down-cloudflare-banned-sex-workers-sesta-fosta</a>You may also be interested in Switter's own statement on the shutdown: <a href="https://assemblyfour.com/switter-public-statement" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://assemblyfour.com/switter-public-statement</a>

Cory DoctorowFair enough! But of course, this butts up against one of the Fediverse's shortcomings: it isn't particularly useful for promoting illegal speech that *should* be lega, like the communications of <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/SexWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SexWorkers</a> who were purged from the internet en masse following the passage of <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/SESTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SESTA</a>/#FOSTA. When sex workers tried to establish a new home in the fediverse on a server called <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a>, it was effectively crushed. 32/

Emelia 👸🏻If you're wondering what I contributed to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a>, it's a lot of the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moderation</a> tooling to help make moderation more manageable (I did this whilst a mod for <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> in 2018).In my spare time I've been working on their streaming server, because I've a lot of experience with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/websockets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#websockets</a>.I'm currently working on many other contributions too!

Dick Smiths Fair Go Supporters<a href="https://aus.social/@geth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@geth</a> Well, said.The really funny thing is that you probably won't see us agree with you, Gethin. Because <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/ausSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ausSocial</a> appear to have blocked us a couple years ago.In all seriousness we can relate to not wanting <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#police</a> around. They extort and <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/entrap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entrap</a> people. In Australia we have no privacy thanks to <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/DataRetention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataRetention</a> Laws, and just look at what they did to <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/Switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a>.In reality though, how can they enforce such a policy? Maybe they think by blocking <a href="https://activism.openworlds.info/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tor</a>?

Joseph Simko<a href="https://c.im/@veronicadax" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@veronicadax</a>I'm wondering about that myself. I know there used to be the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a> instance. My understanding is that it was shut down due to legal concerns.I hope that can be overcome. Twitter always had its problems, but it was a good place for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SWers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SWers</a> to build community and advertise.

Nicole AptekarSo, one thing that still seems to be basically only on twitter is sex work. Given that <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> is gone (due to australian law changes and cloudflare), when twitter implodes, where is the space for them?<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/sexwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexwork</a>

kaosineGods I hate people. Morons so blinded by <a href="https://astral.camp/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elonmusk</a> even on my spicy acct now. Just wtaf. I regret all of this shiz... I can't enjoy nothing without that man popping up and people brown nosing him. I wish I could fully forgo that hellsite. Just wish the people I actually care to still know they'd be helped in making the journey here or in some cases to a rebirth of <a href="https://astral.camp/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> because man...screw these billionaire buttkissers.

Veronica DaxSo…I’m assuming most of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/sexworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexworkers</a> left Mastodon is when <a href="https://c.im/tags/Switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switter</a> shut down? This place is a little chaste for what I’m used to 😅 I don’t post explicit stuff on any of my public social media accounts but I still feel like…I’m not supposed to be here or something. I know technically SWers are welcome but it’s bizarre seeing so few on a social media platform. I’m not used to that.

fitcutienyc<a href="https://mastodon.social/@chendo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chendo</a> is there something like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> ? There must be . .

ceolnWas anyone else around during the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> thing? Sad ending. I looked at SWitter at the time, but didn't realize it was a Mastodon server (if in fact it was?); I probably didn't really know what a Mastodon server / instance was at the time...<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/sexWorkIsWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexWorkIsWork</a>

George PotterFun litmus test I just discovered for <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> servers. If you're not a horrible <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/swerf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swerf</a> who hates <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/SexWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SexWorkers</a> then do go to the About page for your server and see which servers they've blocked/restricted - a surprising number have blocked things like <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/switter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switter</a> (the defunct sex worker instance) just because they deem it to be morally inappropriate.A lot of servers also copy their server block list from <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fosstodon</a> who are a prime example of this, so that's something to watch for too.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FediTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTip</a>

Yellow FlagYou know how <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cloudflare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cloudflare</a> harbors all kinds of criminals and fascists, under the pretense of not discriminating anyone?
