@Gargron that is insane. Especially with how active you are on Mastodon. I wonder if this is a case of lazy journalism or intentional lying.

@Gargron i’d understand if you’re tempted to leave for #Upscrolled too. No judgements

@Gargron

There are literally a million active users here, including some of the weirdest (and therefore coolest) people I've ever met. Why does everyone keep saying Fedi is a failed platform? I'd be thrilled if I'd built something used by a million people!

@Gargron
Did they make up fake news with AI or something? 💀

@Gargron

Because utter nonsense makes the best headlines?

@Gargron
Allez reviens, on est bien bien bien !

Pfff, pas bravo france culture.

For once they were talking about Mastodon on Radio France, what a shame!
It's all the more regrettable given that this journalist, François Saltiel, is usually well informed and advocates for open solutions.
I have lodged a complaint with France Culture and hope that he will rectify this in a future column.

@Gargron the OP apparently has a clue about the “where” : it would be some folk called Korben

@Gargron
We can imagine that radio France is under control. A problematic government use his "master voice" .

@Gargron The journalist corrected his article after a cordial discussion, case closed. Sorry for the mess 🙂

@Gargron

By taking their X dreams for reality & diverting this statement, I guess :

@Gargron Doing the right thing to no longer be a BDFL misconstrued as leaving? 🙄

@Gargron @ClydeB
French press is totally full of fakenews..... Awful

@Gargron One guess? 'AI'

@Gargron cool! You're a informatician: part information, other part magician! 🤩

@Gargron

Here you can write him to let him know he "forgot" to change de audio.
And that maybe a good idea for restoring Mastodon reputation would be to make a new audio where he talks about Mastodon (and stats of how many people have moved from other places after each Big Tech scandal ;) )

@Gargron welcome on France Culture! One of our best cultural radio stations (or at least, it used to be)!

@Gargron AI is where they got this idea from. The disinformation machine.

@Gargron You are completely wrong. It's John Mastodon who is still working on the project. You are just some random guy hanging around mastodon.social. Get your alternative facts right, please.

@Gargron I think the journalist publishes a radio column every morning or so.

@Gargron
Ils ne manquent pas d'air sur France culture.

@Gargron I seem to have read somewhere that they understood you blocking bluesky counted as leaving mastodon.

@Gargron I find it ironic that the article mentions a new network for fact-checking, yet they publish an article without verifying the information. I find the level of journalism lamentable, not only in my country...

@Gargron Wenn du nicht mehr hier bist, wo bist du dann?! 🤪

@Gargron I’m going to put my money on “the author probably used AI to ‘research’ a topic, and it hallucinated”

@Gargron who paid him?

@Gargron from David Karp 😄 that's what he did with Tumblr
