🛫 💪 On February 25 and 26, 2025, we had our Kick-Off of the Research Unit @comai “Communicative AI: The transformation of societal communication” at @zemki,@unibremen - together with our partners at the @bredowinstitut, the Universität Graz, @univienna and ifib.

As a team, we are starting research into the #transformation of societal #communication with communicative #AI.

We couldn't have wished for a better start!

Eine wichtige Initiative - unbedingt anschauen und mitmachen: Save Social

💪 Es geht darum, soziale #Netzwerke als demokratische Kraft zu retten.

💡 Die Idee ist, alternative #Plattformen jenseits der des #SiliconValley zu stärken.

Wie versuchen derzeit mit #molo https://molo.news einen solchen Weg zu gehen und eine neue #Plattform bzw. ein neues soziales Medium für das #Lokale zu initiieren. Damit sind wir Teil einer Welt, die Alternativen schaffen möchte.

It is noteworthy that Elon #Musk is trying to play the 'open' (“charity”) vs. 'commercial' (“for-profit”) card in his takeover bid for #OpenAI – and how Sam #Altman reacts to it. What is true, however, is that Twitter was once worth more: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/10/elon-musk-open-ai-bid

👀 What happens when #SiliconValley CEOs watch #Trump more carefully: They believe he „will be incredible for the country“.

It's remarkable how one #SiliconValley CEO after the other is swinging in Trump's direction. Sam #Altman from #OpenAI was next.

And while economic interests are often cited as the reason for this, it perhaps shows something else: #Californian #ideology has always been much more right-wing than it is often seen.

Worth taking a closer look, also historically.

🔈 📻 Der @dlf hat in seiner Sendung Mediasres über unsere lokale News-#Plattform #molo berichtet – als mögliche lokale Alternative zu sozialen Medien wie #Facebook, #Instagram und ehemals #Twitter jetzt X. Es geht darum, wie wir auf molo #Lokaljournalismus und #Community zusammen bringen und was unsere Überlegungen für die Zukunft von molo sind.

#molo wird entwickelt am @zemki, @bredowinstitut und an der @unileipzig sowie von CONVELOP.

Die Entwicklungen bei #Facebook und #Instagram zeigen, dass #SiliconValley soziale Medien problematisch sind, weil sie zunehmend #Meinungsfreiheit mit anything goes verwechseln. Für uns ist das eine große Motivation, weiter an molo zu arbeiten – einer #Plattform für #Information, #Lokaljournalismus und #Events vor Ort, bei der alle mitmachen können, die die Werte von #Demokratie und #Gemeinwohl ernst nimmt. Damit sind wir eine ganz andere Art von sozialem Medium:
