miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 26/09/2026I saw this suggestion from Stefan 👇 while ago and it's really good. I even use it integrated into my app where I read. 120
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 21/09/2026Let's complicate things a bit: what kind of smile? A polite one, a flirtatious one, or just a sarcastic one? Maybe a smile of contempt that makes you wonder, or an embarrassed one. A customer service smile feels a bit much to me, but a naughty one... depends 😏😅 110
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 15/09/2026Apparently, Corsica has a strong tradition in polyphonic music. I even find some similarities with cante alentejano. We owe part of our heritage to a foreigner, and I think that's beautiful. 110
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 15/09/2026I've seen news about it but I don't know anyone who's been affected.Apparently it wasn't just MEO. I use Belgian internet so I'm good: It comes with chips included 😎😅 (I wish, well that's an idea) 110
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 11/09/2026Celebra-se ainda hoje um festival com o seu nome no Alentejo. Também soube hoje e achei realmente interessante. 032
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 11/09/2026Found out today(!!!), shame on me: Michel Giacometti, an ethnomusicologist born in Corsica, moved to Portugal in 1959, right in the middle of the dictatorship and spent 30 years recording our traditional folk music. Thanks to him we still have this heritage today. #Portugal #Corsica #Giacometti 251
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 07/09/2026This is actually the opposite of communism. He needs to read the right books. And I'm not defending communism at all. This is just ignorance. 130
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 05/09/2026Big win: the EU cracking down on Big Tech's addictive design and monopoly grip is real progress. But fines alone won't be enough. We need to force these platforms to talk to each other, like email does. No more walled gardens. Let people choose where they belong. #wsocial #ATProtocol #OpenSocial 060
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 04/09/2026há tempos houve um canal alemão que fez algo do género e até se infiltrou nos grupo dos bigodinhos agro-betos do autorrebatizado Reconquixote. 010
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 04/09/2026and deeper trenches mean less discussion & more fights. This book walks through several examples, the most famous being the Dreyfus Affair (example of a board game below). Sadly there's no english translation yet so I can't quite recommend it, but it felt unfair not to mention it. #nobots #wsocial 010
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 04/09/2026Culture wars aren't new. Rui Tavares in "Hipocritões e Olhigarcas" defines them in 3 traits: forced sides, identity over substance, outsized emotion. That's what bots exploit: not inventing fights, just watering the ones already loaded. Result? Deeper trenches: and some dig faster than others. 👇 120
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 28/08/2026Fake accounts don't need to invent lies: they just make an opinion look more popular than it is. The algorithm does the rest turning a manufactured crowd into a real debate. The far-right profits from this. So before we believe 'everyone thinks that way' we must ask: who's everyone? #WSocial #NoBots 280
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 28/08/2026Worth remembering that @wsocial.eu is still taking its first steps. Invite-only since June and full public launch still not happened, expected by year's end I think. So it's not really open to the public, is it? So, for those who came in to talk numbers maybe wait until the doors are actually open. 120
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 27/08/2026Wait, you are in Madeira Steve? For real? That statue made some headlines in portuguese media back when the "artist" finished this masterpiece 😅. 140
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 27/08/2026Well, I take my hat off to you 🧢 oh wait, I don't have one 😅 120

miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 22/08/2026"Ding-a-dong" is a great song. The song from Portugal this year (1975) was "Madrugada" by José Luís Tinoco in reference to the dictatorship that ended in 1974. A little history attached 🙂 120
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 22/08/2026You can make your own version but In my head, it went like this: - Hello, mine is bigger than yours. - Uh, come again? - I said: MY SNAIL is bigger than yours. - Oh, and how did you manage that? - Freedom, I guess. This is located in Namur, in Belgium. 050
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 20/08/2026Me neither... but I've never used X nor twitter so I guess I have nothing to regret anyway... still, don't regret it 😅 140
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 18/08/2026Concordo mas o megafone já existia: são as redes sociais. A IA só lhes dá verniz de inteligência. O que preocupa a sério são perfis falsos: 58% dos que comentam na conta do Chega no X são falsos, e é essa sensação de unanimidade que considero perigosa e que a extrema-direita adora. 180
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 16/08/2026Tuta is working on a One-Click Migration tool to auto-import your Gmail. Still in beta, but might be worth waiting for 👍 251

miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 16/08/2026What do we do when we buy a european car but the software is all google? Not going to change the car though 😅 Well, we do what we can I guess. 220
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 14/08/2026Oui t'as raison. Il y a 1 biais côté profils. Si ça grandit on aura des gens de tous horizons (j'espère, sinon ce serait ennuyeux) X vit d'un algorithme de confrontation et de faux profils que l'extrême droite exploite pour désinformer. Résultat: une bulle qui finit par changer le monde pour le pire 110
miguel @semblas.wsocial.eu · 12/08/2026Au moins ici, on a la certitude d'échanger avec de vrais humains et non des bots à la solde d'intérêts douteux. C'est le début, tout le monde ne sera pas d'accord ni amical, je crois, mais ça reste bien plus sain. 110
