In true Canadian style, Gander Social left the back-door unlocked to newcomers. Follow the link & download the app (no PC-browser version yet). You'll need to verify before you can post, comment or chat. Canada Post Identity+ for now, plans for more. See you there. gander.social/profile/dary...

Gander: The Social Media You Want, Built in Canada

Fun, private, and ethical. We're changing the way social media is done around here, all without your personal data taking an unexpected trip down south.

I have a few invites to @gandersocial.ca. Be aware, it's still beta & phone app only at this time. Built on AT Protocol, it can see Bluesky posts and you can resend them on your Gander feed. Looking for folks to post, share, comment, etc. to work the system.

Watching the Artemis II mission generated the same wonder that Apollo did so many years ago. So many generations in-between then and now missed out on that feeling. Maybe that helps explain the current state of the world.

Happy Flag Day, Canada‼️ 61 years of the Maple Leaf‼️ The flag was first raised on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965. 🇨🇦 Proud Canadian ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Good read. “Enter Premier Doug Ford and Attorney General Doug Downey with a new bail bill that will not fix bail, reduce crime, or make anyone safer. Instead, Ford and Downey are serving Ontarians a double-double of unconstitutionality.“ #onpoli www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion...

Ford and Downey’s bail proposal gives freedom to the rich and cages the poor

Their soundbite-driven policy is a mask to hide their failures to ensure community safety

today is a good day to ask yourself how much you actually support the independent artists and creators you enjoy, beyond just liking and subscribing. do you pay them money for their work? do you buy their things? fund alternative culture now or be left with the slop.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Change my mind: "Disruptive" is code for "exploitative". If you can't afford to pay the creators/workers who fuel your profits and valuations, then your company was never viable. It's exploitation and not democratisation.

Dear Democrats + American "friends" Even when your president says it is "unlikely" that he will use military force against our country it still worthy of a resounding response. Right? But we hear crickets. You might be okay with the end of the rule of law. Not us. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

On the streets of Brussels I encountered numerous little plaques in front of doorways. They commemorate the Jewish families who were taken from their homes and murdered by Nazis. Never forget no matter how many lies Elon Musk tells.
