Please do something against Adolf Erdoğan in Türkiye!

CHP was about to win but he just attacked the party, and Kılıçdaroğlu is simply an Erdoğan's asset who shows himself as "leftist". He is a controlled opposition.

Hallo Aktionsbündnis neue soziale Medien. Ich sehe diesen Post erst jetzt. In diesem Post bewerbt ihr eine Broschüre, die ihr zusammen mit WikiMedia gemacht habt. Und das hat mich an etwas erinnert.

Bereits vor Jahren hat es eine Initiative von mehreren Leuten innerhalb von Wikipedia gegeben, die einen Flyer erstellen wollten, indem es um die Fotorechte in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz geht.

Der Hintergrund ist der, dass wir, die wir Fotos und Videos für Wikipedia und damit auch für alle anderen machen, weil alle Bilder auf Commons - der Bilderplattform von Wikipedia - für die Allgemeinheit verwendbar sind, insbesondere zum Beispiel auch in den sozialen Medien, immer mal wieder angegriffen werden von Leuten, die sich unklar darüber sind, was in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz fotografiert werden darf und was nicht fotografiert werden darf.

Dieses Projekt ist zunächst ganz gut vorangekommen, aber dann fehlte uns das juristische Wissen, um den Flyer fertigzustellen.

Insbesondere ich habe mich dann an Wikimedia gewandt und auch an andere Institutionen, die hier teilweise auch in den Mentions stehen, um Hilfe zu erbitten für die Fertigstellung dieser Broschüre.

Das wurde abgelehnt und mit Unzuständigkeit begründet.

Nun was meint ihr, wie ich das empfinde, wenn ich jetzt eure Broschüre sehe, die ihr gemeinsam mit wikimedia erstellt habt und die in die gleiche Richtung geht, wie der Flyer zu den Fotorechten.

Hier übrigens ein Link zu dem Fragment, das es bislang von diesem Flyer gibt:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fotorechte_DACH.pdf

Vielleicht könnt ihr euch ja auch dieses Flyers annehmen, bevor ich erneut auf einer Demonstration, wo ich für Wikipedia fotografiere, körperlich angegriffen werde (das smartphone, das ich bei der Demo verwendet habe, wurde später vom Hersteller zerlegt und untersucht und gegen ein neues ausgetauscht. eine kopie der unveröffentlichen aufnahmen habe ich aber).

#republica #Mastodon #Fediverse #Wikimedia #Gemeinwohl #rp26 #Demokratie #Datenschutz #Nachhaltigkeit #ITSouveränität #PeerTube #Friendica #Pixelfed #Loops

Anläßlich der #republica legen wir noch eine Schippe 🪏 drauf in unserem Einsatz für #Mastodon und das #Fediverse 🌐.
Gemeinsam mit #Wikimedia und den uns unterstützenden Organisationen* haben wir ein Tutorial erstellt. Es soll öffentlichen Einrichtungen dabei helfen, eigene Accounts oder Instanzen einzurichten und mitzumachen bei der Nutzung sozialer Medien, die dem #Gemeinwohl verpflichtet sind. 🌅

Bezieht die Broschüre digital von hier

(nun auch barrierefrei) oder besorgt sie Euch am Stand vom Bündnis F5 auf der re:publica #rp26 (gegenüber von der ZDF/ARD Tribüne).

Sunday reflection 💭

The Fediverse is built on a radical idea:

Your content should belong to YOU.

Not to a corporation. Not to an algorithm. To YOU.

That's worth building on.
