"Kort därefter kom kommunens fastighetsförvaltare till butiken och uppmanade henne att omedelbart ta ner ”allt”. Hon upplevde att det var oklart exakt vilka föremål kommunen syftade på, men menar att hon förstod att det handlade om hennes Palestinakonst.
– Jag blev lite paff först, men sen kände jag att det här har nog inte gått helt rätt till.
Sara berättar att hon motsatte sig kravet. Dels hade hon investerat pengarexempelvis t-shirtsen med motiv, dels ansåg hon inte att det var rimligt att ta bort konsten utan en tydlig motivering. Hon bad därför om ett skriftligt beslut från kommunen, men upplevde att beskedet ändå var att konsten skulle tas bort direkt.
– Jag har alltid haft ett superstarkt rättvisepatos och för mig har det här blivit en väldigt stor grej personligen. Jag vill verkligen stå för och göra allt lilla jag kan göra.
I efterhand började Sara ifrågasätta kommunens agerande. Hon menar att kommunen sedan tidigare känt till innehållet i hennes butik. Vid ett tidigare tillfälle ombads hon ta bort en palestinsk flagga från ytterdörren eftersom den ansågs störa den historiska miljön i Wadköping. Samtidigt fick hon då beskedet att hon själv fick bestämma över innehållet inne i butikslokalen.
– Det är vad jag fått till mig tidigare."

@kallekn @vijarvinen @rolle Yes, moving to Eurosky means you move your personal data there (to a server at Hetzner in Germany). So your follows/followers lists (and any blocks), your posts and your images/videos. This moves your data to EU jurisdiction.
You are still dependent on Bluesky for the infrastructure that Bluesky, the service, provides. So you use Bluesky with a Eurosky account. All indexing, search, and the aggregated view is still on Bluesky's infrastructure, not something Eurosky replaces. And moderation is of course in the hands of Bluesky.
You can log into http://mu.social (any Bluesky user can do that as well) which is the Eurosky client app, but which for now really is just another view (frontend) of Bluesky’s app. Essentially a fork of the Bluesky client, still dependent on Bluesky to operate. The benefit is that it’s another part of the whole that is on EU ”soil”.
Note: I had no issues migrating from Bluesky to Eurosky but I do recommend getting a custom username/domain before doing the migration, which theoretically ensures mentions don’t get lost because of a changed username. A custom username can be moved across - which will be true of any future migrations as well.
It’s hard to search and find messages across the Fediverse.
This is a good thing.
The more I read about Altman’s World project (you know, the orb that scans people’s eyes) the more important I feel the Fediverse is.
I can get somewhat excited by the Atmosphere (Bluesky and others) as well at times, and projects like Leaflet that appear decentralized, but I certainly am not as safe/independent in that environment, even if I run my own PDS (personal data server).
The feature that the Fediverse brings is that it is unpredictable, messy and hard to nail down. We don’t see the edges of it, it’s not intuitive, and often impossible, to search for content across instances, and it’s not really feasible to have truly accurate figure of how many people are reachable on a Fediverse address. It took me a while to realise that this is something to embrace, not criticize it for.
Staying safe from bad actors requires messy. It requires unpredictable. The single database containing all humans on Earth (Altman’s World) is the nightmare.
My pro tip to beginners: If you like a post on the Fediverse, bookmark it with some other tool or send it in a message to yourself. That’s your searchable archive. Emphasis on your.
There are certainly lots of usability issues with Fediverse software. Like the landing page for any instance and how it’s often incredibly hard to understand for novices. Like ”where even am I?”
Honestly, though, I’d like to see more tiny instances. I dream of things like VPS providers providing 1-click installs of Snac for a couple dollars per month. Or even a tiny hardware box that you buy (no monthly fees), plug into your network and go through a wizard to set up your presence. I know people do similar things already… I mean for anyone.
Anyway, this was just a long-winded way of saying that the Fediverse plays a hugely important role in resistance to authoritarianism, and that many of its perceived weaknesses are its strengths.
And I’m sure we can come up with more weaknesses in the future that turn out to be strengths. 😁
In social media news, Toni Schneider (previously Automattic) is now formally the CEO of Bluesky (no longer interim). Jay Graber stepped away from the role in early March, taking on a role as Chief Innovation Officer.

@RaoOfPhysics @olivia Well that's awesome news! Thank you! 🥳
Olivia Guest is my favorite person to follow (on Bluesky/Atmosphere) when it comes to calling out AI hype based on a deep and thoughtful understanding of it.
This point is so very important.
It's ok not to know things.

Update: I've also learned Olivia is on the Fediverse: @olivia
”Microsoft on Thursday reported its carbon emissions swelled last year as the software giant built new data centers, marking a setback for its climate goals as booming AI demand is expected to drive a sharp increase in global emissions over the next decade.”
”300 million metric tons. That’s the amount of global carbon dioxide emissions from data center electricity use the International Energy Agency expects by 2035, nearly doubling from 180 million tons today.”
https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2026/07/09/microsofts-ai-buildout-sent-carbon-emissions-up-25-last-year/
« Microsoft President Brad Smith and Chief Sustainability Officer Melanie Nakagawa said in the report that while AI infrastructure is driving demand for energy, water, land and materials, “sustainability solutions are not scaling fast enough to meet demand,” noting, “This tension is real, and it is also productive.” »
That’s like newspeak for ”I’m hitting all these people with my car but there aren’t enough hospitals being built for them.”
Nicko och Pulver, Lasse Åberg och Klasse Möllberg, när de trillar baklänges. Min nya ‘reaction gif’, lämplig till mycket.
Ladda ner den här om du vill spara den själv. https://pm.axbom.se/content/images/2026/07/nickopulver.gif
Den aktuella gif:en är finalen på denna dialog:
– Hörru Pulver?
– Ja?
– Kan du simma?
– Jaaa.
– Var har du lärt dig det?
– I vattnet.
Tänker att jag behöver Nicko och Pulver som gif. När de trillar baklänges.
Alla behöver läsa det här kapitlet från De Gränslösa (av Marcus Larsson & Åsa Plesner), och beställa och läsa hela boken om man inte redan gjort det.
Planera in ett träningspass efteråt för att hantera upprördheten.
Älskar för övrigt raden "Det här kapitlet är redan för långt och behöver börja rundas av."

@iakonkret @joacim @Karolina Drar mig osökt till minnes när Telenor fick böta för att ha riskerat rikets säkerhet.

@Karolina Ja, här vill man gärna ha en kommentar från Karlung.
Dock, fem lok för bildsättningen.

The whole segment where Trump admits to talking to FIFA about the red card is wild. I do avoid watching clips with DJT but seeing this just yet again confirms how far into the fog he is. And yet he’s allowed to keep going and news outlets keep reporting as if he’s saying something coherent. The smiling, nodding heads behind him add to the creepiness.
