David Chavalarias, Directeur de recherche au CNRS et au Centre d'analyse et de mathématique sociales (CAMS) de l'EHESS et Directeur de l'Institut des systèmes complexes de Paris Île-de-France, explique que X (ex-Twitter) est devenu toxique depuis son rachat par Elon Musk. Son laboratoire au CNRS a constaté, documenté et quantifié de façon extremement detaillée une augmentation de l'hostilité des échanges, amplifiée par l'algorithme. Musk a abandonné la modération et utilisé X pour promouvoir des opinions d'extrême droite.

Le collectif HelloQuitteX propose d'accompagner les utilisateurs vers des plateformes décentralisées comme Mastodon ou BlueSky, offrant plus de liberté. Une date clé, le 20 janvier, a été fixée pour organiser cette transition.

David Chavalarias souligne que HelloQuitteX est une initiative apolitique et transpartisane. L'objectif est de dénoncer l'instrumentalisation politique des données des utilisateurs et d'offrir des alternatives plus saines. Le projet vise à donner aux utilisateurs les outils pour reprendre le contrôle de leurs données.

NDLR cet interressant article sur Synthmedia presente toutefois le leger inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir être partagé sur le fediverse. Néanmoins la plateforme de publication permet un partage sur X directement. Un comble..

It’s always tempting at #Christmas to focus on the story of the birth of #Jesus. After all, the reason we’re celebrating is the #nativity. However, it’s super important to also remember the #Easter story. As we learn from Luke 24:1-7:

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”

Without the resurrection of Jesus, his birth would be no more important than yours or mine. Instead, Jesus rising again from the dead definitively demonstrated that he is the Messiah; the King of Kings. The Easter story is why Christmas is so important to begin with.

Christmas is a great time to celebrate with family and friends, and enjoy the gifts and cards we give to each other in celebration. But it's also a time to reflect on the story of the nativity and the glorious day that Jesus was revealed to be the Messiah.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,
and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
