Some people who want to leave #X wonder if #BlueSky is an alternative. 😕
In our petition, we advocate using the decentralized #Mastodon. We do not consider BlueSky to be a sustainable alternative because it is another commercial service that spies on user data to generate customized #advertising with it.
The BlueSky Terms of Service bsky.social/about/support/tos
and Privacy Policy comprise 7100+ words 😡. Nobody reads this; this is not an “informed consent” as required by #GDPR. We see the #universities here as having a duty of care towards their students and employees, whom they must protect from such data collection. Mastodon and the other #Fediverse 🦩 services are much more suitable for university communication.
BlueSky is just another data leech.
That's why you should sign the petition for #Unis4Mastodon 🐘 👩🎓 🐘 :

We fully agree, such a link list is not what we are working for.
Since January, #Openpetition.de was frequently asked by us and our supporting organizations to add a link to Mastodon or another Fediverse service and skip X, but they did not follow our suggestion. Please, feel free to asked for it, too, via info@openpetition.net.
Thank you for your help.

It is always surprising that thousands of people just click “I Agree” without knowing what they are agreeing to.
Isn't that crazy?
