Nice! Good opportunity to mention I just added some fedi-related #RSS resources, magic of the #fediverse to:
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-activitypub-development
(In the #ActivityPub Bridges section)
Had a huge backlog and I am making lotsa updates now to process it. Earlier did too to apps and clients fedi delightful lists, and the root list, now hosted at https://delightful.coding.social
@marek@festiverse.de
Ich sehe, dass viele tolle, weltoffene Festivals ihre Ankündigungen nur über Insta oder FB teilen. Deshalb hab ich festiverse.de aufgesetzt – Eine offene Instanz im Fediverse, für Festivals, Künstler und Bands und alle(s) drumherum.
Ihr macht ein Festival oder kennt eins? Gerne anbieten, teilen & weitersagen:

What is even the purpose of "social media"? One of the many advantages of the #fediverse is that we can at least try to figure it out. People running instances can (and imho should) analyse what is happening. The difference with #adtech is that this knowledge should be public, used for common good rather than abuse
A sort of meta-fedi knowledge base, so that everybody learns. This way we may get on top of information overload, identify what pattern causes what, how to make social truly social

I find it interesting that the most common response I got yesterday when I realized I couldn't migrate posts to another server (mine is going bye-bye) is that the fediverse is for ephemera. Which, ok, most of my posts fit in that category, although some don't, like threads shared thousands of times that I sometimes send to people in the chronic illness/disability communities outside of mastodon. If this network is only for ephemera, it's not for anything serious. #fediverse

UPDATE: I could really use a little more help getting to the finish line with this. I'm currently waiting for my emissions test to be done, and I only have until midnight mountain time to keep my insurance policy from being cancelled. I'm worried if this keeps happening they'll refuse to issue policies to me and then my costs would skyrocket even further with one of those weird auto insurance brokers.
NOTE: There have been several people in particular here on the #Fediverse that have been insanely generous with #MutualAid for a couple of mentally-ill queer guys and their obese border collie. I could really use everyone else's help if possible to give these (essentially) guardian angels a reprieve.
If you've found my shitposts to be funny, or my philosophical takes to be thought-provoking (regardless if said thoughts are those of disgust), or are one of the few people who haven't already turned off my boosts and find them entertaining, please consider pitching in a little if you haven't already.
It takes a village and I could really use the village's help.
-------------------------------------------------
I am posting this despite an ever-growing desire to just give up and let it all burn. It is so embarrassing to have to continue doing this over and over. I am so sorry.
This month, working with a skeleton crew because of cutbacks was -- and remains to be -- hellish.
Thankfully my upcoming weekly hours have finally increased, in a couple of weeks I'll have a full, 40-hr work week. While it's still not enough for us to survive on in our current circumstances, it will at least allow us to be slightly less burdensome to the community.
However, I need a properly working vehicle to commute to my job due to the lack of reasonable transit options.
Our auto insurance is past due, and I still haven't had the time or money to get the emissions done. My plates are already a concern because I apparently forgot to ever put last year's reg sticker on it which is now lost in the storage unit we're on the verge of losing.
On top of all of this, the other day when I was in a hurry trying to get my meds that I'd gone almost a week without, misjudged traffic in my (even more impatient than normal due to the lack of meds) haste and had to nail a curb to avoid an accident.
So I ripped a hole in the sidewall of a tire my mom had to pay for after less than a year of use thanks to my stupid goddamned impatience. The previous set of tires were on that car for more than than *ten* years.
That was when I posted something to the effect of "this is a dark and ugly day".
Anyway.. so I'm driving a dirty, beat-up, 19 year old car with a spare donut tire, plates that *appear* to have expired a year ago, registration that *actually* is going to expire this weekend, and insurance that's about to expire the same time. I'm uncomfortable with those odds.
Fuck me this being poor shit is getting old. I am physically and emotionally raw, from a job that gave me an inflation-adjusted annual raise of one penny per hour a couple of months ago, implemented just in time for them to gut payroll for May. Neat! I guess I should be grateful I have a job, yada yada.
So, in summary - I need to at least keep my car insured, registration current, and replace the nearly-new tire I destroyed due to stupidity. Or some combination thereof.
Forgive me everyone for yet again needing to rely on you to keep us afloat.
If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad. Just give a boost if you'd be so kind.
Thank you everyone.

The Fediverse is not perfect. But it's humane. Human. Its decentralized nature puts it light years ahead of any centralized or corporate-controlled social media platform (Bluesky is NOT truly decentralized yet).
The Fediverse is proof that we are still able - and eager - to interact on the internet free of corporate and government interference and manipulation. That we desire independence and freedom online as much as we do in real life. That human interaction and socialization is infinitely better when it is not monetized.
We need to protect this. Share this. It's special. It's a haven. And it is an essential tool to help us reverse the damage done to this world by tech bros, billionaires, and politicians who have sold their souls - and tried to sell ours - in exchange for money and power.

I’m kinda done with Mastodon. It’s been my main spot, but it’s missing quote posting, which drives me nuts—I just wanna comment on posts without resharing everything! Also, it’s eating up my server’s resources, and I’m running a bunch of stuff on one machine, so I need something that doesn’t hog CPU or disk space.
I used Akkoma with Mangane frontend before and really liked how light and customizable it was. Problem? The database got huge, and I couldn’t find simple tools to clean out old stuff. It was like digging through a messy closet. I’m thinking of trying Akkoma again, but is there a way to keep the database under control?
I’m also looking at Misskey—it seems fun with quote posting and a cool community. But does it use a lot of server resources? How hard is it to back up or move to another server? I’d love Mastodon API support since my clients need it.

forget the unanswerable question on "is bluesky decentralized right now," I'd like to put forward a hot take:
we need more people capable of running independent ATProto stacks (now that more work has made that
more viable) and Fediverse admins should play with it
because Bluesky PBC is going to drive that shit into the ground

Channel.org is more than just technology.
Last week, we opened Channel.org beta to a very small number of initial testers. But, as part of the Newsmast Foundation's mission, Channel.org was designed with education and community in mind - not technology.
Channel.org will help for-good organisations understand and build a home on the open social web, away from Big Tech control.

Ich sehe, dass viele tolle, weltoffene Festivals ihre Ankündigungen nur über Insta oder FB teilen. Deshalb hab ich festiverse.de aufgesetzt – Eine offene Instanz im Fediverse, für Festivals, Künstler und Bands und alle(s) drumherum.
Ihr macht ein Festival oder kennt eins? Gerne anbieten, teilen & weitersagen:

Hi Tim
I really want to demo but away from 1st -6th June.
TrueFans build native ActivityStreams using 30+ verbs to track user behaviour. Play, Follow, Share, Watch, Comment etc.
We show this in the user Activity Tab e.g Sam listened to Podnews Weekly for 60 mins., percent completed 80% and value paid §100 sats
We also allow the user to publish some or all of their activity via ActivityPub. So I might want to just share my play activity to the social web. #fediverse

Many consider #Bluesky a success, but in fact its activity has steadily declined since Trump's inauguration. The #Fediverse has had similar trends. Rapid growth caused by an external event is always followed by a slow decline back to a small base of loyal users. In a world full of dopamine addiction, it's hard to be a social network without dark patterns.

This is how I am thinking about pointing to the GreatApe WebSocket API in the activity file.
The GreatApe WebSocket API — ActivitySocket ? — is sending ActivityPub activities over a WebSocket, along with some other stuff (such a queries, and commands).
Right now, I am using the "endpoints" field with the sub-field "inoutbox" to point to the WebSockets API end-point.

UPDATE: I could really use a little more help getting to the finish line with this. I'm currently waiting for my emissions test to be done, and I only have until midnight mountain time to keep my insurance policy from being cancelled. I'm worried if this keeps happening they'll refuse to issue policies to me and then my costs would skyrocket even further with one of those weird auto insurance brokers.
NOTE: There have been several people in particular here on the #Fediverse that have been insanely generous with #MutualAid for a couple of mentally-ill queer guys and their obese border collie. I could really use everyone else's help if possible to give these (essentially) guardian angels a reprieve.
If you've found my shitposts to be funny, or my philosophical takes to be thought-provoking (regardless if said thoughts are those of disgust), or are one of the few people who haven't already turned off my boosts and find them entertaining, please consider pitching in a little if you haven't already.
It takes a village and I could really use the village's help.
-------------------------------------------------
I am posting this despite an ever-growing desire to just give up and let it all burn. It is so embarrassing to have to continue doing this over and over. I am so sorry.
This month, working with a skeleton crew because of cutbacks was -- and remains to be -- hellish.
Thankfully my upcoming weekly hours have finally increased, in a couple of weeks I'll have a full, 40-hr work week. While it's still not enough for us to survive on in our current circumstances, it will at least allow us to be slightly less burdensome to the community.
However, I need a properly working vehicle to commute to my job due to the lack of reasonable transit options.
Our auto insurance is past due, and I still haven't had the time or money to get the emissions done. My plates are already a concern because I apparently forgot to ever put last year's reg sticker on it which is now lost in the storage unit we're on the verge of losing.
On top of all of this, the other day when I was in a hurry trying to get my meds that I'd gone almost a week without, misjudged traffic in my (even more impatient than normal due to the lack of meds) haste and had to nail a curb to avoid an accident.
So I ripped a hole in the sidewall of a tire my mom had to pay for after less than a year of use thanks to my stupid goddamned impatience. The previous set of tires were on that car for more than than *ten* years.
That was when I posted something to the effect of "this is a dark and ugly day".
Anyway.. so I'm driving a dirty, beat-up, 19 year old car with a spare donut tire, plates that *appear* to have expired a year ago, registration that *actually* is going to expire this weekend, and insurance that's about to expire the same time. I'm uncomfortable with those odds.
Fuck me this being poor shit is getting old. I am physically and emotionally raw, from a job that gave me an inflation-adjusted annual raise of one penny per hour a couple of months ago, implemented just in time for them to gut payroll for May. Neat! I guess I should be grateful I have a job, yada yada.
So, in summary - I need to at least keep my car insured, registration current, and replace the nearly-new tire I destroyed due to stupidity. Or some combination thereof.
Forgive me everyone for yet again needing to rely on you to keep us afloat.
If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad. Just give a boost if you'd be so kind.
Thank you everyone.

Um nochmal die #fediverse und #mastodon Diskussion von der #rp25 rund um das Thema "Sichtbarkeit und Reichweite" aufzunehmen. Was haltet ihr von der Idee, das Anlegen von "Frontpages fürs Fediverse" als Feature anzubieten? Also eine webbasierte Funktion zum Kuratieren von Posts in einem HTML Interface als "Zubringer" für Interessierte und Neulinge? Hab mir mal einen hässlichen PoC gevibecodet - und dank API ist das ja eigentlich gut machbar.
PS Nein, da soll keine Werbung drauf 🙄

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —
Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)
The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.
This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.
Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.
Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.
Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.
Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.
I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.
Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.
(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:
Decentralization, Federation, Localization
Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.
But, many don't!

I'd like to take 2 seconds this morning and thank all the #commons janitors who do the ungrateful and unseen work of trying to increase #fedi's #cohesion and #culture.
#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.
Janitors *weave* #SocialFabric.. ✊

Fedi must become a heterogeneous interoperable social network where service development is way easier, more inclusive, where services compose / orchestrate / choreograph into solutions that serve people's needs. Add missing social layers full of building blocks, to this technosphere techstack we currently have.

inviting some friends in here! it’s running on a pretty small server tho - my host says a maximum 10 users, but since ppl here aren’t rlly following anyone other than each other it should be good?
Not really expecting anyone to stay tho 😅 (ik it’s not that addictive)
Everyone should try use the local feed to see each others’ posts!
appreciate ppl from other servers boosting this post to make more instances cache this!

One thing that is interesting about the GreatApe WebSocket API is that —
Because the WebSocket can be both read from and written to — the WebSocket is in a sense both an ActivityPub outbox and an ActivityPub inbox at the same time.

GreatApe is a conferencing platform for the Fediverse and the Social Web — where an audience can listen & watch live, and can be invited to join the speakers on the stage.
GreatApe makes use of a WebSocket for communications.
I am working on turning the WebSocket API that @muhammadzaidali and @benyamin0 created into something more ActivityPub / ActivityStreams like.

GreatApe update №5:
We are looking at adding OpenWebAuth support for logging into GreatApe.
So that people can log into GreatApe using any Fediverse software that supports OpenWebAuth — such as Hubzilla.
. @scott suggested we do this (and him and I are currently discussing it).

GreatApe update №4:
I am working on making the WebSocket API (that @muhammadzaidali and @benyamin0 already created) look more ActivityPub / ActivityStreams like.
For example, sending ActivityPub / ActivityStreams events over the WebSocket.
Although, the WebSocket protocol needs to support a QUERY & QUERY-RESPONSE pattern, too. But, so far, the QUERY-RESPONSE has been a AP / AS `Announce` of some type of AP / AS 'Object'.

. @benyamin0 is working on fixing a UX bug — where everyone who was on the 'stage' gets kicked off of the stage if the host temporarily gets disconnected.
He is going to make it so — even if the host gets disconnected for 60 seconds, the GreatApe conference will continue.

GreatApe update №1:
We have stopped calling what GreatApe does "live public conversations", as some people found that confusing.
We are now calling it a "Conference".
GreatApe has a concept of a 'stage' and an 'audience'. The people on the 'stage' can be seen and heard. The people in the 'audience' cannot (unless they come on the 'stage').
I updated most of the language in the GreatApe front-end to reflect that, but more to-do.

The Fediverse is not perfect. But it's humane. Human. Its decentralized nature puts it light years ahead of any centralized or corporate-controlled social media platform (Bluesky is NOT truly decentralized yet).
The Fediverse is proof that we are still able - and eager - to interact on the internet free of corporate and government interference and manipulation. That we desire independence and freedom online as much as we do in real life. That human interaction and socialization is infinitely better when it is not monetized.
We need to protect this. Share this. It's special. It's a haven. And it is an essential tool to help us reverse the damage done to this world by tech bros, billionaires, and politicians who have sold their souls - and tried to sell ours - in exchange for money and power.

Ja, ja und ja.
Gleichzeitig muss ich als ehemaliger Forenbetreiber dazu sagen, dass das Fediverse überschätzt wird.
Spezialistensysteme, dazu gehören Kleingärtner, Hundehalter, Katzenhalter, Gamer, Entwickler brauchen geschlossene Systeme. Da ist man in einem strukturierten und moderierten Forum besser aufgehoben.
Das deckt ein Trötsystem konzeptionell nicht ab.
Nach 10 Jahren Fediverse registiere ich mich jedes mal voller Wonne, heute auf Discourse-Plattformen, mit je einem separaten Account, um meinen Kram zu machen.
Es sind auch zwei gegenläufige Strategien unterschiedlicher Zielgruppen vertreten. Die einem wollen Single Sign In (SSO) für die ganze Welt, die anderen wollen anonyme Fraktale, mit Notschalter.
Dass es ein Fediverse gibt und "bevölkert" wird ist ersteinmal ein Pfad in Unabhängigkeit.
Wer länger dabei ist oder schnell lernt wird feststellen, dass auch wie du schon festgestellt hast, die große Familie Fediverse, eine Fraktalstruktur aus Filtern und Blocken ist.
Vielleicht ist das die Erleuchtung.
Digitale Gruppen sind Chancen für Menschen teilzuhaben, die es sonst nicht können.
Gleichzeitig sind alle Analogen immer ausgeschlossen. Sieht man immer bei Hybrid-Konferenzen, wie inklusiv/exklusiv sie sind.

Fediverse Report – #118
The Surf app goes even deeper on building custom feeds for the fediverse and Bluesky, , a crowdfunding campaign for the PeerTube mobile app, and updates to the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky.
I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!
Surf is a new app by Flipboard, that describes itself as a browser for the open social web. The app allows people to build and browse custom feeds, that take in content from across the open social web. It can combine Mastodon posts with Bluesky posts, as well as RSS and more, into a single feed. With their most recent update, Surf has created Starter Sets for building custom feeds. Starter Sets are organised around various popular themes, like News, Tech or Sports. Within these themes, people can choose from a large variety of data sources to get started with building their own custom feeds. These custom feed sources can be from across the open social web and are modular. This means that a list of Mastodon accounts can be combined with a Bluesky custom feed to create a new single custom feed that consists of both data source. These custom feeds can also be published to Bluesky, so people who are not using the Surf app can also view these feeds.
Surf also now offers a variety of tools to manage the content of a custom feed. For example, a feed can be customised to include or exclude reposts, replies or adult content. There are also options to filter out posts about politics from the feed. The ability to filter about posts about Elon Musk is surely a popular feature as well. Surf categorises all posts via algorithmic clustering, which gives the ability to limit posts in a feed to a certain topic. This means that you can add an account to a feed, but only their posts related to the specified topic will be displayed. The app is currently in closed beta, and Flipboard is gradually onboarding more people from the waiting list.
PeerTube is starting a crowdfunding campaign for its mobile app. The first version of the PeerTube app was officially launched earlier this month. PeerTube is developed by Framasoft, a French non-profit organisation that builds a variety of open source software tools. The crowdfunding campaign is a way to raise money for the organisation, and also provides a way “to gauge public enthusiasm for the mobile application and the PeerTube project in general”. Some of the features that PeerTube wants to work on for its app are the ability to play videos in background, casting videos to TVs, managing channels and accounts directly from the app. Livestreaming from mobile is also being worked on, although Framasoft says they do not expect to release this in 2025. Framasoft says that these features will be worked on regardless of whether the fundraising goals are met, and that otherwise money from the generic Framasoft budget will be used, as a way to show their dedication towards PeerTube.
Mastodon has announced some upcoming new features that help server admins with the legal side. Server admins will be able to set a Terms of Service (ToS), besides server rules and a privacy policy. Server admins will also be able to set the server rules into multiple different languages. There will also be the option to set a minimum age requirement for sign-up for servers. Having a ToS is standard fare for any online platform, and multiple countries require by law that platforms have these. Europe’s DSA is fairly explicit about this, which states: “Providers of intermediary services shall include information on any restrictions that they impose in relation to the use of their service in respect of information provided by the recipients of the service, in their terms and conditions.” In that context, it is high time that Mastodon has added the ability for servers to set a ToS. Mastodon also says that they will provide a template for a ToS that other servers can use if they so desire.
A New Social, the organisation behind Bridgy Fed, has launched a dedicated page for people to manage their account bridging. Bridgy Fed is a piece of software that allows people to ‘bridge’ their account across multiple protocols. This allows people on the fediverse to interact with people on Bluesky (using AT Protocol). For this, people need to manually opt-in their accounts to be bridged to other networks (largely due to cultural reasons from the fediverse communities). Up until now, doing so was a fairly confusing process that involved manually following other accounts. With the new update, people can log in to Bridgy Fed with the account they want to bridge, and simply turn it on or off. It also has an easier option to update the handles for Mastodon accounts that are bridged to Bluesky. For example, by default my Mastodon account on Bluesky can be found at @laurenshof.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gy, which is a fairly cumbersome handle, to put it mildly. At the settings page I can now change it to any handle I want, similar to how any Bluesky account can change their handle. A New Social is also launching a Patreon as they are working towards financial sustainability, with plans to launch merch soon as well.
Ibis is a federated wiki platform that is currently in development, made by nutomic, one of the Lemmy creators. With the most recent update, Ibis wiki articles are now compatible with Lemmy, and can be viewed directly from Lemmy. One of the driving reasons for making Ibis is that nutomic views Wikipedia as untrustworthy. He also says that other centralised Wikipedia alternatives have failed to gain traction, and sees federation as a solution for this. For now, Ibis has the same problem of getting traction.
Tvmarks is a new self-hosted platform to keep track of shows you’ve watched. It gives you a clean overview of shows you are watching, which ones you’ve completed, and provide reviews and ratings per episode. This information can be federated via ActivityPub, allowing others to see what you’ve been watching.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

- 20 years ago #blogging was my main source for project work.
- 10 years ago, it was #Twitter.
- 3 years ago, I thought #LinkedIn would pick up the baton. Alas, it didn't.
- Will now #Mastodon (& the #Fediverse) take the place of my blog or Twitter for, say, the next decade?
That's the new challenge ahead, I guess. Confirming, if anything, the need to finally decouple from LI for yours truly, while attempting to build something new, and move on.
Greener pastures ahead? We shall see ...

Fediverse Report – #118
The Surf app goes even deeper on building custom feeds for the fediverse and Bluesky, , a crowdfunding campaign for the PeerTube mobile app, and updates to the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky.
I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!
Surf is a new app by Flipboard, that describes itself as a browser for the open social web. The app allows people to build and browse custom feeds, that take in content from across the open social web. It can combine Mastodon posts with Bluesky posts, as well as RSS and more, into a single feed. With their most recent update, Surf has created Starter Sets for building custom feeds. Starter Sets are organised around various popular themes, like News, Tech or Sports. Within these themes, people can choose from a large variety of data sources to get started with building their own custom feeds. These custom feed sources can be from across the open social web and are modular. This means that a list of Mastodon accounts can be combined with a Bluesky custom feed to create a new single custom feed that consists of both data source. These custom feeds can also be published to Bluesky, so people who are not using the Surf app can also view these feeds.
Surf also now offers a variety of tools to manage the content of a custom feed. For example, a feed can be customised to include or exclude reposts, replies or adult content. There are also options to filter out posts about politics from the feed. The ability to filter about posts about Elon Musk is surely a popular feature as well. Surf categorises all posts via algorithmic clustering, which gives the ability to limit posts in a feed to a certain topic. This means that you can add an account to a feed, but only their posts related to the specified topic will be displayed. The app is currently in closed beta, and Flipboard is gradually onboarding more people from the waiting list.
PeerTube is starting a crowdfunding campaign for its mobile app. The first version of the PeerTube app was officially launched earlier this month. PeerTube is developed by Framasoft, a French non-profit organisation that builds a variety of open source software tools. The crowdfunding campaign is a way to raise money for the organisation, and also provides a way “to gauge public enthusiasm for the mobile application and the PeerTube project in general”. Some of the features that PeerTube wants to work on for its app are the ability to play videos in background, casting videos to TVs, managing channels and accounts directly from the app. Livestreaming from mobile is also being worked on, although Framasoft says they do not expect to release this in 2025. Framasoft says that these features will be worked on regardless of whether the fundraising goals are met, and that otherwise money from the generic Framasoft budget will be used, as a way to show their dedication towards PeerTube.
Mastodon has announced some upcoming new features that help server admins with the legal side. Server admins will be able to set a Terms of Service (ToS), besides server rules and a privacy policy. Server admins will also be able to set the server rules into multiple different languages. There will also be the option to set a minimum age requirement for sign-up for servers. Having a ToS is standard fare for any online platform, and multiple countries require by law that platforms have these. Europe’s DSA is fairly explicit about this, which states: “Providers of intermediary services shall include information on any restrictions that they impose in relation to the use of their service in respect of information provided by the recipients of the service, in their terms and conditions.” In that context, it is high time that Mastodon has added the ability for servers to set a ToS. Mastodon also says that they will provide a template for a ToS that other servers can use if they so desire.
A New Social, the organisation behind Bridgy Fed, has launched a dedicated page for people to manage their account bridging. Bridgy Fed is a piece of software that allows people to ‘bridge’ their account across multiple protocols. This allows people on the fediverse to interact with people on Bluesky (using AT Protocol). For this, people need to manually opt-in their accounts to be bridged to other networks (largely due to cultural reasons from the fediverse communities). Up until now, doing so was a fairly confusing process that involved manually following other accounts. With the new update, people can log in to Bridgy Fed with the account they want to bridge, and simply turn it on or off. It also has an easier option to update the handles for Mastodon accounts that are bridged to Bluesky. For example, by default my Mastodon account on Bluesky can be found at @laurenshof.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gy, which is a fairly cumbersome handle, to put it mildly. At the settings page I can now change it to any handle I want, similar to how any Bluesky account can change their handle. A New Social is also launching a Patreon as they are working towards financial sustainability, with plans to launch merch soon as well.
Ibis is a federated wiki platform that is currently in development, made by nutomic, one of the Lemmy creators. With the most recent update, Ibis wiki articles are now compatible with Lemmy, and can be viewed directly from Lemmy. One of the driving reasons for making Ibis is that nutomic views Wikipedia as untrustworthy. He also says that other centralised Wikipedia alternatives have failed to gain traction, and sees federation as a solution for this. For now, Ibis has the same problem of getting traction.

Indem wir öffentlich-rechtlichen Entscheider.innen auf der re:publica suggerieren, dass sie lediglich einen Fediverse-Kanal bespielen müssen um alle anderen Social-Media-Kanäle weiternutzen zu können wie bisher, steigen wir einen modernen Ablasshandel ein, der Niemanden glücklich machen wird.
Wie bei der Einführung des Tierwohl-Labels wird hier die Möglichkeit versprochen das eigene Gewissen reinzuwaschen ohne seine Gewohnheiten grundlegend zu ändern.
Aber genauso wie so ein Label Nichts an der Massentierhaltung ändert, ändert so eine Forderung nichts an den toxischen Strukturen von algorithmusgesteuerten, kommerziellen Social Media Netzwerken.
Die Aufgabe von Digitalrechtsaktivismus ist nicht, den Minimalkonsens herzustellen.
Digitalrechtsaktivismus dient nicht dazu dass Leute sich gut fühlen, wenn sie dafür angelogen werden müssen.
Es mag Gründe für das Festhalten an Instagram und Co. geben, zum Beispiel um Reichweite für wichtige Themen herzustellen.
Wir dürfen dabei aber nicht vergessen, dass jede Nutzung dieser toxischen Müllhalden ihre Existenz weiter sichert.
Es gibt schlichtweg keine Möglichkeit, Plattformen von Meta oder X ethisch vertretbar zu bespielen.
Das ändert sich auch dann nicht, wenn man das Fediverse als Feigenblatt nutzt.
Entscheider.innen werden hier zudem unter Vorspiegelung falscher Tatsachen ins Fediverse gelockt:
Im Fediverse reicht es nicht, eine Kopie seiner für andere Netzwerke durchoptimierten Inhalte abzuladen. Das erfolgreiche Platzieren von Posts im Fediverse bedarf einer gänzlich anderen Einstellung gegenüber den eigenen Inhalten und den Nutzer.innen.
Text muss wieder als mehr begriffen werden als notwendiges Beiwerk für bunte Bilder.
Im Redaktionsplan muss Zeit für echte Interaktion mit Nutzer.innen reserviert werden.
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass Jemand im Fediverse deine von KI erstellten Beiträge als eben solche erkennt ist deutlich höher.
Gleichzeitig besteht die Gefahr, dass die dringend notwendige Auseinandersetzung des Fediverse mit sich selbst auf der Strecke bleibt. Schließlich hat man es geschafft, man ist im Mainstream angekommen, man ist auf der re:publica und in der Tagesschau vertreten. Aber reicht das wirklich?
Es ist dringend geboten dass wir uns weiter mit der Willkommenskultur im Fediverse auseinandersetzen. Was macht es mit dem allgemeinen Diskurs, dass Cis-Männer hier in der absoluten Überzahl sind? Welche Probleme treten dabei auf wenn jeder Server seine eigenen Regeln hat, und man sich selbst durch Filter und Blocklisten eine eigene mediale Realität schaffen kann?
Wir beschneiden uns selbst die Möglichkeit etwas Großes zu schaffen, wenn wir uns hier bereits am Ende eines langen Weges wähnen.
Das alles sind eigentlich gute Nachrichten und bietet die Möglichkeit für eine Zukunft in der wieder Menschlichkeit Leitmotiv für den Austausch über Social Media ist.
Dafür müssen wir aber mit offenen Karten spielen:
Kein Mensch hier würde eine KI-generierte Tageszeitung unterstützen, solange in jeder Ausgabe wenigstens ein Text von einem Menschen geschrieben werden würde.
Es gibt keine Abkürzung und keinen Mittelweg. Entweder du machst dich mitschuldig daran Dreckschleudern wie X zu füttern, oder eben nicht.
Entweder du gehst den steinigen und oft nervigen Weg über Social Media wieder mit echten Leuten in echte, solidarische Interaktion einzusteigen, oder eben nicht.
Lasst uns hier also auch stabil und ehrlich bleiben.

Übrigens: Wahnsinn wie präsent auf der diesjährigen re:publica das #Fediverse ist! Im letzten Jahr war das Thema noch extrem unterrepräsentiert. Zudem kommt noch, das bei fast allen Vorträgen unweigerlich auch das Fediverse oder zumindest #Mastodon erwähnt wird. #rep25
@firesidefedi@social.firesidefedi.live
Good day all of you LOVELY Fedizens!
Once again, ANOTHER big week coming up on Fireside Fedi! Please note that all times are Eastern / UTC-4.

Es ist jetzt ziemlich genau 10 Jahre her, dass ich es zusammen mit @digitalcourage zu unserer ersten Regel zur Nutzung von Facebook machte, dass man zusätzlich mindestens einen freien Kanal anbieten und bewerben sollte. (Heute würde ich allgemeiner "Social Media" schreiben.)
Insofern geht mir dieser Post von @Sascha natürlich runter wie Butter.
https://bonn.social/@Sascha/114574144029371178
Keep it coming everyone!
Würde echt einen entscheidenden Unterschied machen, wenn nur Nachrichten, Journalist.innen, NGOs und alle staatlichen Stellen das beherzigten. Wer Facebook/Insta/Twitter/Tiktok kann, kann auch #Fediverse. Das ist doch eigentlich das Mindeste, was man erwarten kann.
Hier der Artikel von damals:

Congratulations on your #ActivityPub Open Source Social Network ( #OSSN )
plugin, @redegelde
It's been a pleasure watching it come together.
It's great when more platforms enter the #Fediverse, esp a project like OSSN.
Esp awesome since OSSN is installable in so many PHP hosting control panels, like CPANEL's Softaculous. It's like it is opening the Fediverse to a entirely new class of self-hosters.

Es wird Themenräume, ähnlich zu Reddit, wo mehrere Beiträge zu einem Thema diskutiert werden. Aus der Nische soll das dann weiter wachsen. Es geht um mehr als die Kommentarspalte unter einem Video. Inhalte werden vernetzt rund um ein Thema diskutiert, z.B. Thema „e-Autos“, das redaktionell gesetzt wird. Das wird Teil der Website, die sich als eine Sidebar über die Inhalte legt. Und jetzt Trommelwirbel: das Ganze wird Teil des #Fediverse. 🥳 #rp25

#introduction to the #fediverse
• I work long hours each week. 60+
• I don't use Google, Apple or Microsoft in my day to day life. This includes devices as I run a custom ROM & Linux.
• I run a podcast
• I enjoy tech and cyber security
• I am a family man at heart and managed to get the household to use E2EE messaging apps.
It would be appreciated if you follow me or boost this post. I look forward to new connections on the platform

While #Fedify's #Vocabulary API provides comprehensive support for #ActivityPub and major vendor extensions, its code-generation approach makes runtime extensions challenging. However, the project welcomes contributions to expand the supported types and properties.
Fedify accepts vocabulary contributions when they meet any of these criteria:
Contributing new vocabulary is straightforward. The vocabulary definitions live in YAML files within the fedify/vocab/ directory. To add a new type, create a new .yaml file. To add properties to existing types, extend the properties section in the relevant .yaml file.
This approach ensures Fedify's vocabulary coverage grows with the fediverse ecosystem while maintaining type safety and comprehensive documentation. If you're working with custom ActivityPub extensions, consider contributing them upstream to benefit the entire community.
For detailed guidance on the contribution process, see the Extending the vocabulary section in Fedify's docs.

#PieFed, a federated #Reddit alternative, may well be the most actively updated volunteer-maintained FOSS application. There are new features (not minor ones either) every day along with a number of bug fixes. And it's rock solid.
I update the software on my Piefed server a minimum of twice a day, and even doing this, I'm always afraid I'm falling behind.
For example, these are the changes made last month: https://link.fossdle.org/post/1605. It's a huge list.
And, as a plus, unlike Lemmy, the developers are not tankies. They are great human beings. I never went to Lemmy because of the developers. I just couldn't.
I'm impressed, and I want to throw some public Kudos and thank yous toward the team.

#PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.
Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.
Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds
It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

Fediverse Report – #117
Keynote speakers for FediForum announced, some new interesting updates for PieFed, and 15 years of the software group of Hubzilla, Friendica and others.
PieFed, a link aggregator platform for the fediverse, has made some interesting updates recently. It is one of the first (if not the first) platform to add support for Passkeys to the platform. It has also added flair (community-specific tags) to posts, that are federated as well. PieFed has also made a image hashing service available that can be used by any fediverse platform. This service generates a unique fingerprint of every image, and that fingerprint can be used to identity other posts that use the same or fairly similar images. This can be used for content moderation, PieFed has a demo video available on PeerTube showcasing how it can find and take down multiple posts that all contain a similar image.
FediForum has announced three keynote speakers and published a tentative agenda. On Thursday, June 5, Ian Forrester will give the opening keynote. Forrester has been a driving factor for the BBC R&D department to get the broadcaster to experiment with a Mastodon server. Later on Thursday, Cory Doctorow will give a keynote. On Friday June 6, Christine Lemmer-Webber will give the opening keynote. On Thursday, I will be hosting a session on Whats New at the Open Social Web, where I’ll be going over all the news and events that have happened since 2025.
The branch of fediverse software that consists of Friendica, Hubzilla and more, is now 15 years old. The main developer Mike Macgirvin lists the large number of features that the platforms have, including groups, nomadic identity, comment controls, and much more. When it comes to the large variety of features, no fediverse platform comes anywhere close to what this branch of platforms offer. The software platforms have managed to create their own small self-sustaining communities. While a number of the software platforms such as Streams do not publish any statistics, extrapolating data from what some servers running Hubzilla and Friendica publish, together I would estimate the active accounts to be less than 10k MAU. Still, these communities have managed to find long-term sustainability, exisiting over 15 years in various forms is no mean feat. As Macgirvin says: ‘if you think that this “alternative fediverse” is going away any time soon, you must be new here.’
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —
Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)
The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al
Admin of todon.nl suggests, and rightly so, that the default/flagship Mastodon instance (isn’t decentralisation great?) be moved to a more neutral jurisdiction than Germany:
“Herewith the urgent request to move the Mastodon server presented to new users as the default (mastodon.social) to a more neutral jurisdiction (e.g. Switzerland). An alternative is to set up a new Mastodon server in a more neutral jurisdiction, which can then serve as a new flagship server.
The trigger for this is the regular negative moderation of people who speak out against the largest and bloodiest genocide of our time, the one in Palestine. In particular they use (or abuse, how you want to look at it) of a German law that seeks to counter so-called Holocaust reversal. With hiding behind this law, the moderators of mastodon.social (and especially its owner) are also unwittingly sitting in the chair of the (German) judge.
Apart from the fact that one local law should not affect the entire Mastodon project, the question is whether this law and the concept of Holocaust reversal are legally tenable in an international context.”
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/34747
Mastodon mod closes the ticket after stating “There is no current plan to make changes to the Mastodon instances operated by Mastodon gGmbH. People are free to choose any Mastodon server when signing up for the platform.”
And this (see screenshot) is what that “choice” looks like.
This decentralisation anti-pattern – along with the fact that they didn’t close registrations after hitting a certain size to create a social precedent and allow distribution to other servers (as I advised Eugen to do back in the day) – is why there is a flagship instance to begin with when it’s an absolute contradiction of terms in a system that purports to be decentralised.

Danke, das ist genau mein Reden! 🙌✨ Wenn ich sage, dass wir unsere Energie besser in die Unterstützung des Fediverse stecken sollten, ernte ich oft nur böse Kommentare. 😔💬 Lasst uns gemeinsam für eine offene und dezentrale Zukunft kämpfen! 💪🌍 #Fediverse #Dezentralisierung #Gemeinschaft #Support #ZukunftGestalten
@warumichradfahre@nrw.social
Vielleicht etwas übertrieben, mit #DigitaleSouveränität und #DigitaleSelbstverteidigung zu argumentieren, aber ich bin nun mal rein ins #Fediverse und raus aus dem #NoMetaverse.
Hat nicht weh getan.

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR #sprint (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in #Seoul!
We spent the day contributing to various #fediverse open source projects including @fedify, @hollo, and Hackers' Pub. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.
Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in today's blog post.

Check out this cool progress on Ibis, a #Wiki engine for the #Fediverse from @nutomic 👀
I’m keeping an eye on this project, and looking at what it would take to be compatible with it in the future. Keep up the awesome work!

🎉 I just surpassed my first 100 followers on #Mastodon! Thank you, to each and everyone of you who tagged along to see what I'm up to!
It's been a really enjoyable time ever since I made an account on #Fosstodon, making it my first home in the #Fediverse. I've learnt a lot from the very cool and interesting people here, discovering new #FOSS projects, etc. Not to mention meeting new friends from different parts of the world who are interested in the same hobbies and niches. 🗺️👋

@openrisk@mastodon.social · Reply to just small circles 🕊's post
@smallcircles there is a somewhat vague separation between the "internal stage" of an idea (his example of TBL and a full web vision) and the growth once "out there" (like the EV from 1966)
By all appearances, the latter was internally "fully formed", there simply was no interest (or maybe even active opposition).
But the boundary is not clear. E.g. the #fediverse is fully formed in some sense and limited adoption could be external. But it could also be that a usability component is missing.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al
Mastodon is decentralised.
I have 45,465 followers on my single-person instance.
Of those, 13,180 are on mastodon.social.
So roughly 30% of my followers are on mastodon.social.
Also, I follow 11,392 people.
Of those, 1,864 are on mastodon.social.
If mastodon.social blocks my instance, I lose 30% of my followers and I’m forced to stop following 1,864 people.
If my instance blocks mastodon.social, I lose 30% of my followers and I’m forced to stop following 1,864 people.
Mastodon is decentralised.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al
Admin of todon.nl suggests, and rightly so, that the default/flagship Mastodon instance (isn’t decentralisation great?) be moved to a more neutral jurisdiction than Germany:
“Herewith the urgent request to move the Mastodon server presented to new users as the default (mastodon.social) to a more neutral jurisdiction (e.g. Switzerland). An alternative is to set up a new Mastodon server in a more neutral jurisdiction, which can then serve as a new flagship server.
The trigger for this is the regular negative moderation of people who speak out against the largest and bloodiest genocide of our time, the one in Palestine. In particular they use (or abuse, how you want to look at it) of a German law that seeks to counter so-called Holocaust reversal. With hiding behind this law, the moderators of mastodon.social (and especially its owner) are also unwittingly sitting in the chair of the (German) judge.
Apart from the fact that one local law should not affect the entire Mastodon project, the question is whether this law and the concept of Holocaust reversal are legally tenable in an international context.”
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/34747
Mastodon mod closes the ticket after stating “There is no current plan to make changes to the Mastodon instances operated by Mastodon gGmbH. People are free to choose any Mastodon server when signing up for the platform.”
And this (see screenshot) is what that “choice” looks like.
This decentralisation anti-pattern – along with the fact that they didn’t close registrations after hitting a certain size to create a social precedent and allow distribution to other servers (as I advised Eugen to do back in the day) – is why there is a flagship instance to begin with when it’s an absolute contradiction of terms in a system that purports to be decentralised.

Loving these audio platforms starting here! This one has audio spaces you can join in on! You need direct room links right now, but great to see more indie stuff like this https://greata.pe/
Here's a demo room I was able to find.

Fediverse Report – #117
Keynote speakers for FediForum announced, some new interesting updates for PieFed, and 15 years of the software group of Hubzilla, Friendica and others.
PieFed, a link aggregator platform for the fediverse, has made some interesting updates recently. It is one of the first (if not the first) platform to add support for Passkeys to the platform. It has also added flair (community-specific tags) to posts, that are federated as well. PieFed has also made a image hashing service available that can be used by any fediverse platform. This service generates a unique fingerprint of every image, and that fingerprint can be used to identity other posts that use the same or fairly similar images. This can be used for content moderation, PieFed has a demo video available on PeerTube showcasing how it can find and take down multiple posts that all contain a similar image.
FediForum has announced three keynote speakers and published a tentative agenda. On Thursday, June 5, Ian Forrester will give the opening keynote. Forrester has been a driving factor for the BBC R&D department to get the broadcaster to experiment with a Mastodon server. Later on Thursday, Cory Doctorow will give a keynote. On Friday June 6, Christine Lemmer-Webber will give the opening keynote. On Thursday, I will be hosting a session on Whats New at the Open Social Web, where I’ll be going over all the news and events that have happened since 2025.
The branch of fediverse software that consists of Friendica, Hubzilla and more, is now 15 years old. The main developer Mike Macgirvin lists the large number of features that the platforms have, including groups, nomadic identity, comment controls, and much more. When it comes to the large variety of features, no fediverse platform comes anywhere close to what this branch of platforms offer. The software platforms have managed to create their own small self-sustaining communities. While a number of the software platforms such as Streams do not publish any statistics, extrapolating data from what some servers running Hubzilla and Friendica publish, together I would estimate the active accounts to be less than 10k MAU. Still, these communities have managed to find long-term sustainability, exisiting over 15 years in various forms is no mean feat. As Macgirvin says: ‘if you think that this “alternative fediverse” is going away any time soon, you must be new here.’
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Thank you so much again to @nikclayton of the @pachli project for speaking with me on Episode 18 of Fireside Fedi!
I've just edited and uploaded the livestream to Peertube and Castopod. If the Peertube doesn't play it might still be transcoding. Please give it a bit and check back. If it's been a few hours from this post and it's still not working, then please don't hesitate to poke me. :-) Have a wonderful day you wonderful fedizens! <3

So #Fediverse, tell me - are there any Mastodon clients you really like for the desktop? Specifically, I am hoping for something with a GUI, linux native, and has support for vim motions. The stretch goal would be something cross-platform.
I'll just download and test a bunch if I have to, but hoping one of you can save me the effort, because so far my search-engine-fu is not yielding any results regarding vim-motions. (which I concede is a bit of a long shot)

@michael@thms.uk
I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:
I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.
Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at https://fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at https://michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeed/

The Fediverse is a wild place. People on here get triggered at the mere thought that two consenting adults treat cryptocurrencies as a unit of account, and a medium of exchange among each other.
@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town
It's a lesson in our current social media landscape. I ask for shares. On #mastodon I get plenty. On #bluesky, nothing. Not one.
The #fediverse gets accused of being insular which is ironic as this is where actual people are helping each other. You my people.

Good day all you wonderful folks.
I have been so honored by all of the folks I've spoken with and I'm humbled by such a positive reception.
I am currently speaking with a few folks about joining the show. One person mentioned that "they're not my normal interviewee". They're not a nerdy techy person that's building the Fediverse is how I took that.
I wanted to let everyone know, I don't plan on having any specific person on the show. I have said before and I'll continue to say, this show is about all of us on the Fediverse. I want you to share your opinions and experiences using the different platforms. I want to know and speak with absolutely all of you.
Tech folks get a lot of attention as they try to build he platforms of the future. But those platforms are built for ALL of us. The #fediverse is for the techies, the grandparents that want to stay in contact with their kids, the freedom fighters, the people that just want to feel a little less alone, the people just want a choice, the people sick and tired of conceding privacy to be a part of society.
You're all beautiful, you're all wonderful, and each and every single one of you has a unique story to tell.
I can't do everything. But together, we can do ANYTHING. WE CAN DO ANYTHING!

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —
Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)
The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.
This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.
Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.
Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.
Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.
Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.
I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.
Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.
(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:
Decentralization, Federation, Localization
Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.
But, many don't!

If any form of "governance" is to exist on a decentralized social-media (DeSo) network, such as the Fediverse, then — it ("governance") also needs to be decentralized and localized.
Else, that decentralized social-media will cease to be decentralized.

. @andypiper is (another person who is) (correctly) arguing that —
The rules for moderation must be localized to a community (and even conflicting with the rules of other communities), else the network is not decentralized.

And welcome to everyone who's now following my new account 👋
So the back story. About a month ago, I set up my own self-hosted single-user Mastodon* instance using @yunohost and @gotosocial .
I pulled my contacts over from my old Mastodon account at @Vivaldi .
Unfortunately, around 1000+ contacts didn't pull across (I'm guessing simply because the instance was so new).
Anyways, 30 days later, I tried again, and this time it appears to have (mostly) worked 😁
So. Welcome to all the folks I'm now seeing/who are seeing this post from @aj 😁
#Fediverse #Fedimigration #GoToSocial #Mastodon
* Before you type the comment, yes I know GtS isn't Mastodon, but I'm accessing it using the same apps I used for my old Mastodon account to mainly talk to people on Mastodon, so functionally it serves the same purpose.

Please set your "Language" option in Mastodon to the language you normally post in. It allows other instances to offer translations into the reader's language for both your post and any alt-text.
Thank you in advance, from a single-language old man who likes to interact with people from all over the world.

The first public GreatApe conversation went well.
The conversation seemed to be stable.
Some of the people who joined that I recognized includes: @manlycoffee , @Soel79 @ShinComics .
The others I wasn't sure who they were. (Say "hi" if it was you 🙂 )
It was a successful test 🙂

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release —
In fact, the public GreatApe release will be later today!
Although GreatApe has been in use internally since 2023 — this will be the first time we will do a live public GreatApe conversation!

Fediverse Report – #117
Keynote speakers for FediForum announced, some new interesting updates for PieFed, and 15 years of the software group of Hubzilla, Friendica and others.
PieFed, a link aggregator platform for the fediverse, has made some interesting updates recently. It is one of the first (if not the first) platform to add support for Passkeys to the platform. It has also added flair (community-specific tags) to posts, that are federated as well. PieFed has also made a image hashing service available that can be used by any fediverse platform. This service generates a unique fingerprint of every image, and that fingerprint can be used to identity other posts that use the same or fairly similar images. This can be used for content moderation, PieFed has a demo video available on PeerTube showcasing how it can find and take down multiple posts that all contain a similar image.
FediForum has announced three keynote speakers and published a tentative agenda. On Thursday, June 5, Ian Forrester will give the opening keynote. Forrester has been a driving factor for the BBC R&D department to get the broadcaster to experiment with a Mastodon server. Later on Thursday, Cory Doctorow will give a keynote. On Friday June 6, Christine Lemmer-Webber will give the opening keynote. On Thursday, I will be hosting a session on Whats New at the Open Social Web, where I’ll be going over all the news and events that have happened since 2025.
The branch of fediverse software that consists of Friendica, Hubzilla and more, is now 15 years old. The main developer Mike Macgirvin lists the large number of features that the platforms have, including groups, nomadic identity, comment controls, and much more. When it comes to the large variety of features, no fediverse platform comes anywhere close to what this branch of platforms offer. The software platforms have managed to create their own small self-sustaining communities. While a number of the software platforms such as Streams do not publish any statistics, extrapolating data from what some servers running Hubzilla and Friendica publish, together I would estimate the active accounts to be less than 10k MAU. Still, these communities have managed to find long-term sustainability, exisiting over 15 years in various forms is no mean feat. As Macgirvin says: ‘if you think that this “alternative fediverse” is going away any time soon, you must be new here.’
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Der Account @manweh ist zwar nicht ganz #neuhier aber schaut momentan doch noch Recht selten ins #Fediverse. Vielleicht wird das öfters, wenn ein paar Accounts mal Hallo sagen, zur Motivation.

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.
The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.
If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

If you've found refuge in the Fediverse, you already understand why that matters.
The ecosystem we're building together is growing stronger, but many of our friends remain trapped in walled gardens, unaware of what they're missing.

Trying to get closer to a #fediverse-first approach in social media and using #mastodon as my main platform I am looking for a simple (web-) tool I could supply with a posts mastodon url for generating an image with suited aspect ratio for distributing fediverse content to other image-centric platforms.
Has anyone already built something like this? 🤔
@jools@missocial.de
Also ich finde das ja immer spannend zu lesen, wie Mastodon-Jünger sich hervorheben und wichtig machen müssen und dann auch noch laut vermelden, wie sehr doch Mastodon-User zusammenhalten. Da fällt mir gleich wieder der Begriff "Mastodon-Netzwerk" ein. Für mich hört es sich stets so an, als wenn einige Mastodon-User meinen, sie seien privilegierter, nur weil sie Mastodon nutzen.
Was natürlich vollkommener Quatsch ist, wie viele von uns hier wissen.
Wenn so etwas Fediverse-Neulinge schreiben - ok, das ist verständlich, denn häufig wissen sie es gar nicht besser. Wenn dies irgendwelche Blogger, Reporter oder Autoren schreiben, die nur auf den Zug "dezentrales Netzwerk" aufspringen, um Klicks zu bekommen und eigentlich überhaupt nichts davon wissen - dann kann ich sowas auch noch verstehen. Nicht gut heißen, aber verstehen, denn diese Menschen haben sich nie wirklich mit dem Thema "Fediverse" auseinandergesetzt und haben es auch nicht wirklich vor.
Wenn aber so ein Quatsch aus den eigenen Reihen hier im Fediverse von erfahrenen Usern erzählt und weiterverbreitet wird, dann muss ich mich wirklich fragen, ob diese Leute den Grundgedanken des Fediverse überhaupt verstanden haben und warum man diese Menschen falsches Wissen weitervermitteln lässt. Wenn ich es nicht besser würde, würde ich glattweg behaupten, dass es Provision für das Bewerben von Mastodon gibt!
Das Fediverse ist NICHT nur Mastodon!
Mastodon ist nur EINE Software von vielen, mit der man das Fediverse nutzen kann.
Dazu kommt, dass viele Mastodon-Instanzen aufgrund der hohen Userzahlen mittlerweile weit, weit weg sind von Dezentralität, die User verstehen es aber nicht und melden sich trotzdem immer weiter dort an.
Und jetzt spricht mir nach: "Das Fediverse ist nicht nur Mastodon..."
@jannik@linke.social
Trying to get closer to a #fediverse-first approach in social media and using #mastodon as my main platform I am looking for a simple (web-) tool I could supply with a posts mastodon url for generating an image with suited aspect ratio for distributing fediverse content to other image-centric platforms.
Has anyone already built something like this? 🤔
@rainer@socialbc.ca
Maybe there are some #Canada based #fediverse devs already working on this, but I so wish there was a publishing platform that was #ActivityPub and #socialweb first, and specifically for public institutions in 🇨🇦
Very similar to how #Ghost works (built-in to core). Followable anywhere on the social web. Bus route updates, water restriction updates, weather alerts...one domain per municipality, difft accts per agency.
This is a national security issue if Musk & Co can cut off our govt comms.

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.
The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.
If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

Decentralisation as a shifting mental framework
Programming note: every week I send out an email newsletter. It contains all the articles I published that week, as well as an additional essay that has been not been published elsewhere yet. This is a republication of last week’s essay I send out. If you’re interested, subscribe below to get all the updates directly in your inbox every week!
As decentralised social networks grow and evolve over time, so does the meaning of the word decentralisation. People do not understand a meaning of a word in a vacuum, they form an understanding of what a word means based on their think other people think a term means. The term decentralisation is a good example of this: it is clearly an important term to the communities that make up networks like the fediverse. But the meaning of the term decentralisation has shifted over time. Communities take on a shared mental framework to understand a technology. Once a framework has been established, changes to that shared framework are slow, and can happen due to forces of other communities who have a different shared perspective.
The fediverse, and the networks that it grew out of, are decentralised social networks in two different ways: they are decentralised in a technical description of how the network architecture looks. But the fediverse is also decentralised in the sense that this became a core part of the identity of the network. For a variety of reasons, as the fediverse grew and matured, being decentralised became a core way how people on the fediverse understood the network themselves. When Elon Musk took over Twitter, it gave a strong validation of the idea that centralised ownership of social networking is bad, and thus that good social networks should be decentralised.
Over time, the meaning of the term ‘decentralisation’, as understood by people on the fediverse, grew more diffuse. Other characteristics of the network became conflated with the idea of the network being decentralised. Traits of centralised platforms that people deemed bad, such as a single algorithmic timeline controlled by an oligarch, became a template for how an alternative social network should do the opposite: only have a timeline where the content displayed is fully controlled by the user. The boundaries blurred between features resulting from a decentralised networking architecture versus those from human-focused product design. It is totally possible to create a decentralised social networking platform with only algorithmic timelines. But the connection between fediverse platforms largely only having ‘following’ feeds and the network being decentralised was regularly implied.
A network like the fediverse has an architecture that is easy to recognise as being decentralised: there are multiple independent servers that are all talking to each other, without one central entity. But there are other ways to create social networks that are decentralised, using a different architecture. Nostr is a good example of a decentralised social network that operates in a significantly different way, while also being clearly decentralised.
For the fediverse community, the mental model of decentralised networks such as the fediverse itself, but also email, became more dominant. There was less space to consider other ways to design a social network that is also decentralised. The size difference between the fediverse and the much smaller Nostr network made other alternatives easy to brush aside. But the growth of Bluesky and the ATmosphere network changed this dynamic.
The goal of Bluesky and ATProto is to create a decentralised social network, but with different characteristics and goals than the fediverse and ActivityPub have. For people on the fediverse, decentralisation became the main way how they analysed this competing network. As Bluesky is by far the largest app on the ATProto network, by multiple orders of magnitude, Bluesky not actually being decentralised became a common criticism. I made a similar argument in fall 2024, about how Bluesky has not meaningfully distributed power due to how clustered the people are around a single app. However, that is something different than the technological network architecture being (de)centralised. These criticisms became intertwined with each other, especially from the fediverse side.
In recent weeks, people have made some significant progress in using Bluesky (in technical terms: engaging with posts with Bluesky’s lexicon) with infrastructure that is entirely independent from the Bluesky company. This demonstrates the network being decentralised in a meaningful way. But as the term ‘decentralisation’ has become so intertwined with other meanings, both regarding other network architecture as well as the spread of the user base, that conversations around these developments became hopelessly confusing. The achievement of using Bluesky without using infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC became solely analysed through the frame of “is the network decentralised”.
In all this discourse, it has become lost that decentralisation is a description of a network topology, and not an intrinsic Good. People do not actually care about decentralisation itself. Decentralisation is valuable because it enables other properties, such as network resilience, and are more resistant to capture by oligarchs.
Within the ATProto developer community, the discourse that essentialised decentralisation led to a counter reaction, where decentralisation is not seen as a useful term anymore. Instead, other descriptors should be used, to consider specific features that the network enables. While the community seems largely in agreement that decentralisation has lost a lot of its usefulness as a way to analyse the network, there is less consensus on what other factors the network should be judged on.
As an observer of both networks this makes the current situation particularly interesting. One developer community seems to come to an agreement that one mental framework has lost some of its use, while the other developer community has not done so. Furthermore, it is not clear yet what framework should take its place instead. Is it a framework of analysing a network by its possible failure modes, or something else entirely?

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.

And, here is what it (currently) looks like to log-out / sign-out of GreatApe on a mobile type screen.
@reiver@mastodon.social
GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.
Here is what it (currently) looks like to log-out / sign-out of GreatApe.
Notice that you do NOT create a GreatApe account. You use your existing Fediverse accout to use GreatApe.

Today, besides other concerned individuals and organisations, our co-founder @michael co-signed and delivered a letter regarding the current UK technology policy to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.
We believe it is critical that the UK does not become dependent on US technologies which echo the corporate interests of Big Tech.

This is one of the problems with centralized social-media — that your entire online existence and self can be deleted, and often, there is nothing you can do about it
That you can be unpersoned.
On the Fediverse (and other decentralized social-media (DeSo)) — you can protect yourself from this. You can self-host, and own and control your online identity & online self.

I wish @Tusky had a "mentions" feed similar to Fedilab.
I.e., a screen (in the app) that only shows posts that "mention" me.
I get so many other non-mention notifications that I can (and at times often do) miss posts that mention me.

This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.
(Longer than Threads has existed.)
Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.

The results of the poll — can a block-list be misused?
If you filter-out the "don't care" and "huh?" votes, then —
It is about —
• 5% to 6% NO, block-lists cannot be misused, versus
• 94% to 95%, YES, block-lists can be misused.

Is Short Content Sometimes "Better"?
Short posts on Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, etc.
Short videos on TikTok, YouTube (Shorts), Vidzy, Loops, etc.
Could short content create a better user-experience (UX)?

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.
So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.
A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.
A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.
So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.
The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.
Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

Even small contributions help sustain development and show there's interest in open source #ActivityPub tools. Thanks to our existing sponsors who've already been helping move the project forward!
The goal remains the same: make building federated applications more accessible to developers so the #fediverse can continue to grow and thrive.
@hongminhee@hollo.social
Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.
The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.
If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

The main flaw i see with #fedipact logic is: if meta was really more of a threat to Fedi then Fedi is to #Meta, why wouldnt “Project92” or whatever just start a covert instance runnin mastodon on a random domain name unaffiliated with meta (at least on the surface level) and just harvest all the data they want that way?
I just don’t see that much of a harmful impact in harvesting data that is already public, i get sending a message that we dont want corpos on #fediverse, but maybe we should start considering the harm Fedi can do to meta by using the ole “embrace, extend, extinguish” route as a sort of uno reverse card and out extend the corporations for once.

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.
So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.
A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.
A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.
So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.
The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.
Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

After the setup I configured the settings, browsed the web. #ZenBrowser was working like it used to and the FS didn't go haywire.
Finally, it fixed it.
I think this meme (see the image) suits me. In #windows, you've the troubleshooter but on #linux, you're the troubleshooter.

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (5/6)
This time I took the former approach. I opened #GnomeSoftwareCenter and deleted #ZenBrowser without app data. And it worked (for real this time). Still I had zen app data lying in my system. So I manually deleted every one of them one by one. Afterwards I rebooted my system one last time and again installed Zen.
@javalps@mastodon.social · Reply to javalps's post
@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (4/6)
I again rebooted the system and this time deleted every folder within `.../storage/default/` folder. Then tried to uninstall #ZenBrowser along with app data. And this time it worked, I uninstalled the browser (so it seems). However afterwards the FS went read-only. I rebooted. And there was ZEN, casually waiting for me in the taskbar.

I traced the error to a certain file within `~.var/app/app.zen_browser.zen/.zen/nh9jf1x8.Default (release)/storage/default/https+++www.youtube.com/cache/morgue/81/` folder. I manually deleted the file and again tried to uninstall #ZenBrowser along with app data. It again caused an error saying that this time the error is within `.../https+++www.mastodon.social/` folder.

So today, I decided to delete the browser. When I opened the Zen page in #GnomeSoftwareCenter there were two options presented :
1. Delete the app
2. Delete the app along with app data
Initially, I decided to go with the latter one. But when I clicked uninstall, the Software Center showed me an error (see the image) and the FS went read-only. I rebooted the system.

Hey, so after two days of debugging I finally figured it out. I solved it. It was indeed the #ZenBrowser. The problem was with the Zen data stored in my system. I think some of it got corrupted.

When you press that button (in the screenshot), and publish a post on the Fediverse —
For most users on the Fediverse —
Not only are you publishing that post on your host's website, but —
YOU ARE PUSHING that post to people and machines (including strangers) across the Fediverse.
If you do not want that to happen, then — don't press that button.
Instead, consider a private message, or using something such as Signal.

How hard would it be for a fediverse app to give me a daily or weekly notification about each of my saved drafts? So I can start a reply, decide it needs more thought, save it, and get reminded of it.
Bonus points for being able to schedule a reminder notification for each saved post. A day for this one, a week for this one, and so on.

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.
A relay could represent a community.
And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on
This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server
Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.
Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

FEDIVERSE LOGO — Ⅎ
Andy Piper ( @andypiper ) says:
“Of course, we can’t just use an F [as a logo for the Fediverse], because Friendica took that one”
Well, we could (instead) use a variation of the "F" symbol.
We could (instead) use the TURNED CAPITAL F (U+2132) for a Fediverse logo.
Ⅎ
It is considered an 'obsolete' symbol, and thus largely unused (despite being in Unicode).
We could make it a (new) logo for the Fediverse.

Good day folks. I need your thoughts. I've started a NonProfit called BT Free, btfree.org, and I'm hoping to get thoughts on a question I had.
Do folks think it's ok if I link to the donations page for BT Free during Fireside Fedi and mention it during a show as well? I want to focus on the guest, but I'm going to have to start asking about donations somewhere, but I don't want to ask if folks think it's not ok.
Please boost this out so I can get as many thoughts as possible on this. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thank you all for being here and doing all you do!

But, the moment I opened Zen Browser suddenly the filesystem went read-only. Coincidence, I think not. This also happened when I was offline. I opened Zen it showed me the webpage, all good. I reloaded it, it showed me the classic thing "something unexpected happened". All good. But when I closed the #browser, suddenly the FS went read-only.

So, today morning I opened the laptop with #wifi turned off and checked the system. It was going alright. The filesystem was behaving normally like it should. I also double-checked it using `mount | grep "btrfs"` and `fastfetch`. To check the nvme drive, I used `sudo smartctl --xall /dev/nvme0n1p3` + the diagnostics tool in the bios menu.

I now think that I can pinpoint the problem of the filesystem going read-only and it's (probably) neither the FS itself nor the nvme drive. And definitely not the RAM.
The problem is a single app that's causing this or that's what I found and its the @zenbrowser browser.

When updating a video, under Advanded settings > Video thumbnail PeerTube @peertube now lets you select a specific frame as the thumbnail directly from the video player.
A really handy interface not even YouTube has. The feature was likely released at least a few months ago but I only just noticed.
To improve metadata — and just for fun — I revised the thumbnails of all my videos.

So my suspicion is that #Phanpy was somehow corrupted.
I'm not sure, however, if that's a symptom of a deeper issue, or the root cause itself.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what were the steps to fixing it?

Thank you SeaxNG folks!

In the year 2019, a scholarly paper misspelled the names of the Fediverse software —
Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Pleroma
As —
Mastadon, PixelFred, Plemora
This is the paper:
"Peer-to-Peer based Social Networks: A Comprehensive Survey"

I like this new feature on the Mastodon web-based front-end application — where, when you look at the someone else's profile, Mastodon shows you (some of the people) who follows this account that you also follow.
Although, I wish there was way that I could see the complete list of people — rather than just 2 or 3 people.

You don't trust anyone else—not billionaire-run social networks, not instances managed by strangers with moderation policies that might separate you from your friends and favorite accounts.
So you've decided it's time to create your own instance, whether for yourself, your family, or a small community.
But you're unsure how to do it! You're not tech-savvy, and you're worried it won't work, that you'll fail, or that you won't be able to secure your new instance properly.
Fortunately, some companies now offer to set up an instance for you and handle all the technical aspects: installation, system updates, security, and more. All you need to do is manage it and enjoy it.
At least, that's the promise. 🙂
The website https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_instance lists some companies currently offering this service. It also provides a guide to help you choose the best host for your needs and outlines the questions you should consider.
From there, it's up to you to research the prices and terms of the companies you're interested in.
Has anyone here used the services from any of these companies? Is it really easy for non-technical people to install and manage an instance?
@travisfw@fosstodon.org
Is there a "firehose" of #fediverse posts? would you just look at all the servers' live feeds? I'm considering attempting to train an algorithm to classify
* personal status (ate a sandwich)
* hashtag participation
* branding and promotion
* conversational
* memetics (cats/rats/moss)
* identity assertion
* etc
This is awkward because I feel a bit embarrassed that I don't already know how to do this.

Articles like this make me wonder if/when the #fediverse will ever tackle the dating service space. Given the (relatively) small userbase of the fediverse as a whole, I'm not sure how well it'd go right now. But I do think that there's a wide open space here in the same way that there was previously for healthy Twitter and Instagram alternatives.
This would be a much more complex space, though. Data exchanged in an environment like this would be extremely sensitive, and massive precautions would need to be taken (and vetted) in order to prevent abuse, by admins or otherwise. Still, it seems like a huge shame to give up on the concept of online dating just because surveillance capitalism has ruined it in its current form.

HEY! I just found the fix for the webfinger "403 forbidden” problem I have been having to get my wordpress blog working fully with ActivityPub @pfefferle!
Looks like for nginx based servers if you are rolling your own or you have a strict web host you need to create a location statement in your nginx config options
The code to add to your options is:
location ^~ /.well-known/webfinger {
auth_basic off;
allow all;
default_type text/plain;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
break;
}
From this wordpress support question:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-think-i-tried-everything-403-on-well-known/
After adding this, the test at https://webfinger.net/lookup outputs a proper response and Wordpress clears the 'webfinger' error in SiteHealth.
Yay!

We allowed advertisement giants to become the pillars of our society. And advertise they do. They sell the naked greed of hypercapitalism.
But this is very clear: #BigTech molochs aren't pillars in any way. They're the Blob of horror movies, gobbling the lifeblood of people. Corporate social media are parasitical.
🌻 Luckily we have good alternatives.
Our #SocialWeb era begins ✊

So over to the command line. First, a sudo apt update.
Debian fetches the updates as it should. It says:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
1 package can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see it."
Apt list --upgradable mentions: monarx-agent/bookworm 4.2.72-master amd64 [upgradable from: 4.2.62-master]
Okay, so with that done, let's try the three commands YunoHost recommended:
sudo apt install --fix-broken produces the following output:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

Mastodon has a great translation tool that lets people read your posts in their favorite languages.
But the feature works only if you set the default language of posts (Preferences > Other > POSTING DEFAULTS > Posting language) and override it when posting in languages other than the default (click the language name button in the post editor).

Social media is as social as Las Vegas where #SocialMedia #advertisement giants as telecom providers of society, take care of the lightshow to lure us in.
@Sironimo and Jonas Kießling argue for more deliberate design of our communication mechanisms. The #SocialWeb of #ActivityPub and #Fediverse gives control back to people, allows us to rethink how we want to interact. There's a big role for #OpenScience to help #FOSS devs address needs in #society and #ReimagineSocial.

Good morning Fedi friends!
Today I'm feeling excitement over the fediverse intro video we're making... and fear about the feedback it will generate. SO. MUCH. PRESSURE!
The #Fediverse has become my happy online place. With this video project I'm putting myself out there so much (with my face, my voice) advocating for it. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone daily... but I know it's for a great cause.
Please be kind once the video is out... it'll be the result of tens of hours of work 🥲

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.
Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.
(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways
#Fediverse platforms as well as #Bluesky offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.
But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

#Fedi, I need your help.
I'm raising £8,125 to introduce #Leicester to ethical, decentralised platforms like #Mastodon.
I want to:
🚀 Launch a Mastodon instance for local people
👨🏫 Run workshops in schools teaching safe social networking
📢 Champion the #fediverse in the indie #media sector
Don’t let #BigTech and #billionaires kill #LocalNews. Can you help us reach our target of 25 new lifetime members by mid-June?
You can join no matter where you live.

To be fair, this type of thing can happen on the Fediverse, too — if you are on someone else's server.
But, the advantage that decentralized social-media has, over centralized social-media, is —
This isn't the end.
You can either go to another server instance.
Or, you can create your own server instance (i.e., self-host), and then no one can suspend your account.

I am humbled and thrilled to be a member of the @fediforum Advisory Board!
It was formed to address the hard questions, and to make #FediForum the most welcoming and ispiring gathering to push our beloved #Fediverse to a brighter future.
Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎
Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.
It’s so cool to collaborate with this group of incredibly skilled people!
Long live the Fediverse ⁂ ❤️
@andypiper@andypiper.co.uk
I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.
We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.
Check out https://fediforum.org/people
FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.
I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!
An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.
I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.
Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.
Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.
(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)
@reiver@mastodon.social
To be fair, this type of thing can happen on the Fediverse, too — if you are on someone else's server.
But, the advantage that decentralized social-media has, over centralized social-media, is —
This isn't the end.
You can either go to another server instance.
Or, you can create your own server instance (i.e., self-host), and then no one can suspend your account.

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways
#Fediverse platforms as well as #Bluesky offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.
But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

Taking Control of Your Timeline – in Different Ways
One of the main ways that decentralised social networking platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon use to advertise themselves is that they gives people control over their timelines. Bluesky’s website highlights this as its primary feature, saying “Your timeline, your choice – Stay focused on your friend group, keep up-to-date on the latest news, or explore with an algorithm that learns what you like. On Bluesky, there’s a feed for that.” Mastodon takes a similar approach, and puts it front and center on the joinmastodon.org website, saying “Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see.” Both platforms share a common critique, namely that Big Tech’s control over algorithmic feeds results in systemic problems, and both see a solution in giving people control over their feeds.
But examining the different approaches taken by platforms in the fediverse and ATmosphere1 shows that both networks take quite different approaches. Moreover, these approaches seem compatible with each other, and it’s been surprising to me that no platform has really tried to unify these yet.
Bluesky is focused on giving people choice. Instead of one ‘For You’ feed with an opaque algorithm that Big Tech platforms have, Bluesky offers the users to subscribe to any number of feeds. New users start with a simple following feed, as well as an algorithmic feed, the Discover feed. AT Protocol (ATProto) allows people to create any type of feed, that others can subscribe to. Other tools and businesses have popped up to take advantage of this, such as Graze and Skyfeed. These tools give people the option to build their own custom feeds.
ATProto can be understood as one massive pool of data, that is publicly accessible to everyone. Users control their data, but it’s visible to any app. Every application build on top of ATProto takes a portion of that data, restructures it and presents it to the user via a client. A custom feed is effectively a application that is build on ATProto. It takes a small portion of the data of the entire network, and presents it to the user. For example, the News Feed is a custom feed made by an independent developer, which shows articles posted made by news organisations. It functions by taking only the Bluesky posts made by news organisations from the giant data pool that is the ATmosphere network, and orders the post in chronological order, and presents that to the user. Another example is the Moss Feed, which looks for all the Bluesky posts that contain pictures of moss in the entire network, and show those moss pictures to people who subscribe to the feed..
This gives us an answer as to what Bluesky means when the company says “your timeline, your choice”. The choice is that people can choose which part the entire network they want to see. They can choose to see the posts from the accounts they follow, they can choose to see posts from news organisations. The choice is in the data, and people express that choice by using a custom feed.
Fediverse platforms take a different approach to user choice over their timeline. Mastodon2 gives a user three feeds, the home timeline, which is the feed of what you follow, and by far the most important feed in Mastodon. (Mastodon also a few other feeds, which are significantly deprioritised.3) Where Bluesky wants to give people control by letting them pick any subset of the entire data of the network to see, Mastodon wants users to only see the content you opted in by following. This is the user choice that Mastodon advertises with on their site, where they say that “your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most”, meaning posts from accounts you follow.
Mastodon has a fairly strict idea of what content should be shown in your Home timeline: only content you follow. This is often the accounts you follow, but can also be hashtags. Nor does it have to be microblogging posts: Mastodon will happily show you content from other types of software, from WordPress articles to PeerTube videos to podcast episodes to RSS. As long as you can follow it via ActivityPub, it shows up in your Home timeline. It does not even have to abide by Mastodon’s own restrictions: a Mastodon post is limited to 500 characters by default, but other servers can set different limits. A Mastodon server with a 500 character limit will still show posts with a much higher character limit. The only restriction is that it has to be content you followed, or got boosted by an account you follow.
Mastodon also has a stronger focus on control over the content in your Home timeline. As the Home timeline is so important, there are many ways for users to take granular control over what they see. You can mute accounts you follow for a time period (helpful if someone is live blogging an event you are not interested in), turn off boosts from specific accounts if they have a tendency to boost too many posts, and a variety of other features.
Other fediverse software takes this a step further: Phanpy is a client for Mastodon, with a unique Catch-Up feature. This takes all the posts from your Home timeline from the last few hours, and gives you the option to display them in any way you want. You can group the posts by Author, sort them chronologically or reverse-chronologically, only display boosted posts sorted by boosts, and much more. Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform which shares quite some of the design features with Mastodon. It also has a strong focus on a Home timeline with content you follow, but with even more features to give users control over how the content on that Home timeline is displayed. The screenshot below displays the wide variety of options that people have to change how their Home timeline is displayed.
The wide variety of options that Bonfire gives represent the ideal vision of fediverse platforms on what user choice for your timeline looks like: the content you follow, with all the tools you need to organise that content.
Comparing these two networks, I find it interesting to see that their approaches to control over your feeds are quite different. Bluesky’s approach is great for discoverability. There is a lot of posts on the network that I’m interested in seeing that are made by accounts that I don’t follow. Custom feeds are absolutely great for that. Mastodon is great for giving me control over how I see the content I already decided to follow. There are a great many ways to shape and fine-tune my home feed exactly the way I want, and deal with annoyances as they pop up. Tools like Phanpy’s CatchUp give an unparalleled amount of control that no other platform even come close to.
People have been looking for alternatives to how Big Tech platforms handle their algorithmic feeds. Bluesky’s answer is to give people a maximum amount of control over which data they want to see, with fairly limited ways to control how that data is then displayed. Various fediverse platforms take a different approach: the only data you see is what you have deliberately selected for, with a maximum amount of control on how that data is displayed. That both networks have taken a different approach and focus on how to build better timeline, is a reflection on the belief systems of the people building these new social networks. Bluesky is focused on open and public data, and the custom feeds allow anyone to access that data. Mastodon sees the problem as that corporations control what you see, and as such only shows content that you have deliberately opted in to see.
What’s interesting to me is that these approaches are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it is totally possible to build a system that provides both: The discoverability of custom feeds, with the customisability of Bonfire’s filtering system. It’s what I’m looking for, at least.

It also has a strong focus on a Home timeline with content you follow, but with even more features to give users control over how the content on that Home timeline is displayed. The screenshot below displays the wide variety of options that people have to change how their Home timeline is displayed.
The wide variety of options that Bonfire gives represent the ideal vision of fediverse platforms on what user choice for your timeline looks like: the content you follow, with all the tools you need to organise that content.
Comparing these two networks, I find it interesting to see that their approaches to control over your feeds are quite different. Bluesky’s approach is great for discoverability. There is a lot of posts on the network that I’m interested in seeing that are made by accounts that I don’t follow. Custom feeds are absolutely great for that. Mastodon is great for giving me control over how I see the content I already decided to follow. There are a great many ways to shape and fine-tune my home feed exactly the way I want, and deal with annoyances as they pop up. Tools like Phanpy’s CatchUp give an unparalleled amount of control that no other platform even come close to.
People have been looking for alternatives to how Big Tech platforms handle their algorithmic feeds. Bluesky’s answer is to give people a maximum amount of control over which data they want to see, with fairly limited ways to control how that data is then displayed. Various fediverse platforms take a different approach: the only data you see is what you have deliberately selected for, with a maximum amount of control on how that data is displayed. That both networks have taken a different approach and focus on how to build better timeline, is a reflection on the belief systems of the people building these new social networks. Bluesky is focused on open and public data, and the custom feeds allow anyone to access that data. Mastodon sees the problem as that corporations control what you see, and as such only shows content that you have deliberately opted in to see.
What’s interesting to me is that these approaches are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it is totally possible to build a system that provides both: The discoverability of custom feeds, with the customisability of Bonfire’s filtering system. It’s what I’m looking for, at least.

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.
Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.
(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years.

I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the #fediverse. #ActivityPub #C2S isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.
What if we created a new standardized API based on GraphQL + Relay for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?
The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.
#GraphQL would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. #Relay's features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.
Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?
Curious what others think about this approach.

@fossunleashed I kind of found the problem but, I've no idea how to fix it. Since, I can neither record or create screenshot, here's the gist.
So, the main disk `/dev/nvme0n1` is divided into 3 partition ->
1. `/dev/nvme0n1p1` : EFI System uses FAT (32-bit version)
2. `/dev/nvme0n1p2` : Linux extended boot uses Ext4 (version 1.0)
3. `/dev/nvme0n1p3` : Linux filesystem uses Btrfs
The above was the result of running `sudo fdisk -l`.

Goodmorning #Fosstodon and #Fediverse, another update! ☕
Our new mod team is complete and has just started training! 😊 Over the next weeks they'll go through the CoC and modding rules, they'll handle a wide variety of practice cases, and will then move on to (already resolved) real reports. Because we're based all over the world, from Japan, South Korea, India, Europe, South Africa, to the US, the chat is asynchronous and slow. Hence the training will take a while.

As #Fedify's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's #ActivityPub implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?
While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.
Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.
Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.
I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?
Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

as long as nobody cares about the according standards, the #fediverse will be a brittle nerd niche.

I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the #fediverse. #ActivityPub #C2S isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.
What if we created a new standardized API based on GraphQL + Relay for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?
The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.
#GraphQL would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. #Relay's features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.
Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?

I was just thinking, how do #Youtuber #upload their #videos to #YouTube right now? Are their any open source #YT #uploaders? If so, how do we get #Peertube support in them to allow people to do an upload once and it go to multiple places? That way we lower the bar to entry of Peertube, while having a direct onboarding and exposure to the #Fediverse.

I mentioned this on #Lemmy, but instead of doing searches, we start just asking questions and let REAL people help. We don't need AI to give us the answer or Google. Start asking your questions across the #Fediverse! It might take a longer, I'll bet you the answers are a hell of a lot more accurate. And get to know each other! I even thought of an uber nerdy silly tagin "don't search it! FEDIVERSE IT!" :-D lol then I imagine an '80's mom in a track suit jumps up with a thumbs up.

As #Fedify's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's #ActivityPub implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?
While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.
Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.
Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.
I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?
Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

We love that building community on the social web doesn't happen overnight.
When people first joined platforms like Twitter, they grew their community slowly and carefully. The open social web lets you grow meaningful community once again.
The longer we spend here, the more comfortable we feel.

Fediverse Report – #116
FediForum will be next month, Discourse talks about their fediverse integration, and an update on Bonfire.
FediForum has a new date and a new board
The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.
Bandwagon talks about monetisation and sustainability
Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform that’s currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm
Discourse and the fediverse
Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.
Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release
Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”
Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.
FediDB onboarding
Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.
The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.
Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech
Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: “However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.” – WeDistribute/Saskia Welch
Owncast turns 5
The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas “at one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.” Kangas says that now “people want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, it’s important for it to be bigger than myself”. – Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm
Discourse and the fediverse
Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.
Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release
Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”
Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.
FediDB onboarding
Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.
The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.
Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech
Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: “However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.” – WeDistribute/Saskia Welch
Owncast turns 5
The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas “at one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.” Kangas says that now “people want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, it’s important for it to be bigger than myself”. – Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

Fediverse Report – #116
FediForum will be next month, Discourse talks about their fediverse integration, and an update on Bonfire.
FediForum has a new date and a new board
The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.

As #Fedify's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's #ActivityPub implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?
While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.
Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.
Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.
I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?
Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

I'm already getting very excited for tonight! For those that don't know, I'm going to be talking with @pluralistic , Cory Doctorow, tonight on Fireside Fedi! If anyone has any questions feel free to message me here.
If you'd like to watch LIVE, please come and join us! If you don't know Cory, you should, but you probably know the term "enshitification" which Cory termed. As well as having many many other accolades.
Please share this out, not for my own fame, but I see these opportunities as ways to introduce new folks to the Fediverse and get excitement about it.
Everyone have a wonderful day!

Like a pair of boots, a good social platform needs wearing in 🥾
We love that building community on the social web doesn't happen overnight.
When people first joined platforms like Twitter, they grew their community slowly and carefully. The open social web lets you grow meaningful community once again.
The longer we spend here, the more comfortable we feel.

Team meeting this morning to do some filming for #EleFediVideos & to discuss the next steps. An issue that came up beautifully illustrates the power of the #Fediverse & decentralized social media.
The 1st video introducing the Fediverse to people not familiar with it will discuss Silicon Valley's #Broligarchy.
#YouTube could take down the video if offended right wing people complain about it.
But if I upload the video to #PeerTube... who are you reporting the video to? To ME! I'm the admin 🤗

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.
Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.
I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?
Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

Things have been a little slow for a while over at @news, mostly because of a really busy spring class semester. Now that I’m done with that, I want to start writing articles again.
What’s some interesting things happening in the #Fediverse we ought to cover?
@si_irini@mastodon.social
I need help
I need a city in Texas for the book
and I can't decide
There should be a small airport there
It should be the location for a large factory
I don't want any of the “usual suspects”
and ok I might need a second one too
I have already looked at maps of Texas
I liked Beaumont, but it's really small and has almost no industry
Does anyone have any ideas?
Please help!

You should follow them. One of the mainstream protocols that make the Fediverse even possible, commonly used on Mastodon, CherryPick, Misskey, and Sharkey, is called, ActivityPub. They help write that protocol.

@stefano@bsd.cafe
The last #snac release fixes a problem with the Mastodon API. Now, apps (or webapps like Phanpy) properly work as the "inifite scrolling" has been fixed.
Thanks, @grunfink - this was one thing that kept some of my friends away from self-hosting with snac, and now I can help them to have their own digital home.
@hongminhee@hollo.social
I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses #ActivityPub DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any #fediverse account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (#Mastodon, #Misskey), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

@randompenguin@friendica.world
Is there a comparison somewhere of the resource requirements for hosting various Fediverse platforms?
I know some of them have pretty low minimum system requirements, but they can grow quickly into resource hogs the more active users you have. For example this Friendica.World instance I'm on seems to struggle handing less than 4,000 accounts but various Mastodon and Pixelfed instances have hundreds of thousands of accounts without any apparent difficulty. Though I don't know what resources they have available to them. Some platforms appear to be more scalable than others.
I've been reluctant to run a server myself for a variety of reasons, but the big ones are not knowing how much it will cost, what kind of hosting it would require, or which platform to run.
It should be obvious by now most people do not want to run their own server, they want to go sign up on the biggest server for a platform they can find and let someone else assume the expense and risks of running it. So does anybody know what the lowest resource, most scalable, most stable platform is that can handle the most active users/accounts? Is there a nifty comparison table somewhere?

@piefedadmin@join.piefed.social
On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.
However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:
For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:
{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.
So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.
User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.
It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.
Let’s see how it goes.

Today I got new inspiration regarding #WebSocial (aka the #Fediverse), when I met an old acquaintance and his friend
The acquaintance tried to call me a #TechBro. With some salt, and sugar, I explained what a tech bro was, why I despised them and rolled out a simple explanation of what #Mastodon was.
His friend was surprised and said he didn't know that such a thing existed. My acquaintance then said he wanted to start his own server.
I then realized he's probably not the only one in my city.

For some months now I am actively hesitating to publish my work-related stuff on #LinkedIn (or any other centralized social network for that matter) so I am thinking of using the #fediverse for it.
Do you have any advice for using fediverse as your #work -related social network? My use case for such a network would be: inspiring others to do good work, building and maintaining my professional "brand," and helping myself or my employer attract new talent.
Some topics to consider: Same account, separate account? Server software (Mastodon, Pleroma, ...)? Discovering (potential) colleagues, being discovered by them? Pointing existing LinkedIn users to your fediverse account? Adjusting language/tone of communication based on fediverse nuances?
I am eager to learn. Boosts are appreciated.

I would suggest using the term #openweb alongside the #Fediverse as it's both a more positive term and at the same time more change and challenge as it contrasts to #closedweb

On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.
However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:
For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:
{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.
So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.
User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.
It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.
Let’s see how it goes.

ビル・ゲイツ、 #BlueSky にいるんだ（#Fediverse にはブリッジされてないか、残念）
Bill Gates (@billgates.com) — Bluesky
https://bsky.app/profile/billgates.com
@youronlyone@c.im
I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.
https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest®istration=open
It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games
Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.
Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.
Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?
Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.
* Method 1: You can add the details yourself
* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items
* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance
Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!
Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.
Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).
Check my accounts:
* Flagship server: @youronlyone@neodb.social
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place
~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~
UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

Commercial entities can operate on the #Fediverse, provided everyone is free to completely mute them and defederate from them.
But: it's highly unlikely I'll be interested enough to follow any account operating transactionally with its audience, or in a marketing capacity, or fake engagement, etc. So, if there's a significant number like me, commercial activity will have a much more difficult time on the Fediverse than on centralised platforms; and IMO that's as it should be.

- We now support the `preview` property as a fallback for Articles. This will make your posts look much nicer as more platforms support it! (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1374)

@fedify@hollo.social
We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in #Fedify, complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.
This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning #RFC9421 is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other #ActivityPub implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.
As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the #fediverse.

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.
Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.
We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.

Just rolled out some fediverse-related improvements:
- Now you can follow Write.as blogs from Ghost! There was a tiny bug with this that we just fixed. (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1373)
- We now support the `preview` property as a fallback for Articles. This will make your posts look much nicer as more platforms support it! (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1374)

We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in #Fedify, complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.
This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning #RFC9421 is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other #ActivityPub implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.
As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the #fediverse. Our double-knocking mechanism ensures maximum compatibility by trying the RFC 9421 version first, then falling back to draft cavage if needed.
Currently, we support RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures, with plans to expand to other signature types in future releases.

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.
A relay could represent a community.
And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on
This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server
Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Esteemed #Fediverse
in the past days I have read many threads about the importance of facts in social networks and federating them.
On the other hand, the co-founder of wikipedia, Dr. Larry Sanger wants to create a "censorship resistant federated wikipedia". He became an altright conspiracy theorist and is part of Trumps culture-revolution-thinktank.
My fear is that they will not only remove tax status but also target Jimmy Wales, contributors and in the end the org domains.
In the last sleepless night the @skyfaller wrote „Instead of Action News, perhaps we need actionable news.“ https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/114469269759393822

He wishes it was easier to republish posts for everyone which had been originally only posted for paid subscribers.

Another factor (for him) seems to be —
He perceived Twitter as being prone to censorship. Including politically motivated censorship. Censorship of individual posts, and even by suspending Twitter account.
And thus risky to build an audience on Twitter — since your digital identity could be taken away from you at any time (by Twitter)
He felt that Substack was not only much more tolerant, but had a policy of being anti-censorship.

He seems to tend to prefer to write long-form content.

I have an old friend who, when he left Twitter, went over to Substack.
He has an academic background. And, by profession is a ghost writer. He has also written a number of his own books.
If you are interested in growing and spreading the Fediverse, then —
Why did he choose Substack over other alternatives?

Bonjour Fedi friends!
I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan
I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.
The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.
And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!
I hope you're having a lovely day 🌞

I'm discussing a training plan with @joel and @mike , Mattermost invites will follow soon.
I had a nice call yesterday with the admin of #Hachyderm, to learn about their moderator rules & appeals, how they handle certain situations etc. Very useful. 🔥

Olikos jossain hyvää suomenkielistä selitevideota tai selkeää nettisivua, missä selitettäisiin mitä tarkoitetaan federoidulla somella? Tarkoituksena on lobata yhdistyksiä ja yrityksiä pois Metasta ja Blueskystä. Ja siinä työssä tiivistetty paketti auttaisi. Eikä haittaisi, jos siinä sivussa tulis myös sitä keskeisintä kritiikkiä Metan palveluita ja myös Blueskytä kohtaan.
@rolle tuleeko sulle jotain mieleen?
Boosteja arvostetaan!

I am humbled and thrilled to be a member of the @fediforum Advisory Board!
It was formed to address the hard questions, and to make #FediForum the most welcoming and ispiring gathering to push our beloved #Fediverse to a brighter future.
Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎
Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.
It’s so cool to collaborate with this group of incredibly skilled people!
Long live the Fediverse ⁂ ❤️
@reiver@mastodon.social
There is no (explicit or implicit) Emperor, Shahanshah, or God-King of the Fediverse.
You don't wait for permission to affect the Fediverse. You just do it.
Want a new app? Create it.
Want a new protocol. Implement it.
Want a new UX? Design it.
Etc.
Don't have the skills yourself — advocate for it with people who do.

@verge It's too late, Reddit is slowly dying due to their constant shitting on their user base.
Lemmy, Mbin, and PieFed are great alternatives, and thanks to ActivityPub they all communicate with each other on the Fediverse.

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.
We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.
Check out https://fediforum.org/people
FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.
I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!
An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.
I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.
Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

How hard would it be for a fediverse app to give me a daily or weekly notification about each of my saved drafts? So I can start a reply, decide it needs more thought, save it, and get reminded of it.
Bonus points for being able to schedule a reminder notification for each saved post. A day for this one, a week for this one, and so on.

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.
Although we have been using GreatApe internally since the year 2023 (to create video podcasts) — we haven't done a public release of GreatApe yet (that everyone can use).
I think the first public MVP release of GreatApe will be soon.
We are just "polishing" it now. And, "cleaning up" minor things.

Hats off to #Sharkey devs, who are considerably more on the ball about this than #Akkoma.
@reiver@mastodon.social
This is what is currently trending on mastodon.social
Given current events, what isn't on this list probably says something about who is and isn't in Fediverse yet.
And perhaps where we (who would like to grow and spread the Fediverse) could improve things.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.
I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.
I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.
I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.
(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Good morning Fedi friends!
Here is a sneak peek at the #Fediverse video I've been working on with @samaaberg & @TheLifeofTarzan. I feel super lucky to be doing this with them: they are brilliant! ✨
It's the 1st time in my life I'm in front of the camera - thank you Sam & Riyen for your patience (I'm sooo uncomfortable being on screen) 😅
You'll notice in the video #Plushtodon has a cameo - along with awesome stickers by @andypiper @yunohost @Mastodon and @molly0xfff

"If #governments are concerned about the dominance of privately-owned online platforms, they have a responsibility to run and own their own.
A logical response would be for these entities to run their own instances of software like #Mastodon—or any #Fediverse-compatible, #ActivityPub-based service. This would allow them to own their content, domain, and user verification, ensuring greater control and independence."

なんか #PhanpySocial から通知いっぱい来るなと思ったら、ちょっと前のこの投稿にいっぱいリアクションをいただいていた 
ありがとうございます！ 
タイムライン表示のアルゴリズムのない #Mastodon #Fediverse の Like って、送り手から受け手へのリアクションという性格がかなり強い気がしていて（※）素直に嬉しい 
※ちょっと穿った言い方だけど、#X とかだと Like とかのアクティビティーがアルゴリズムを通じて不特定多数のタイムラインに露出する時期があったから（いまも？）送り手が不特定多数に対して「これにいいねしてる私」みたいな発信を兼ねてる部分もあった気がしてて…
あと完全時系列のタイムラインでも、こんな時間差でリアクションいただけるのは文字通り Boost 
バケツリレーして頂いてるからだとおもうのでありがたい（別に耳目を集めたくて投稿してるわけではないとしても）
あと、#X から距離を置いててもアカウント削除までする人は意外と少数派なのかなやっぱり（投稿した内容はたぶんアカウントを残して人は意外と気づかないことというのもリアクションいただいたきっかけとしてあるのかな？
自分はもうアカウント消しちゃったけど、そういえば投稿に書き忘れたこととして「パーマリンクページから前後のリプライがなにも見えない」というのもあって、連投された投稿の最初のアドレスだけが #Fediverse 経由で引用としてたまに流れてきてもその後の投稿を追えなかったりする（そしてそっ閉じしてる

If you're a writer/blogger/press, a friendly reminder that the 17th Year Anniversary of the #Fediverse [social] network (**not** Mastodon® social network) is fast approaching.
May 18, 2008
So, if you want to publish a new article, you can start today. There are a hundred possible angles and scopes for that article. 😉
Anyway…

After reviewing FEP-5624: Per-object reply control policies and GoToSocial's interaction policy spec, I find myself leaning toward the latter for long-term considerations, though both have merit.
FEP-5624 is admirably focused and simpler to implement, which I appreciate. However, #GoToSocial's approach seems to offer some architectural advantages:
I wonder if creating an #FEP that extracts GoToSocial's interaction policy design into a standalone standard might be worthwhile. It could potentially serve as a more comprehensive foundation for access control in #ActivityPub.
This is merely my initial impression though. I'd be curious to hear other developers' perspectives on these approaches.

That's an impressive statistic!
I didn't know #Threads allows only one hashtag per post! 🤔
The #Fediverse is mainly #Mastodon 
Threads is so very different from it.
It doesn't have an algorithm, so one can't expect "virality" that can happen on other Main stream social media.
However, there are a few kinds of posts that work really well here. For eg.:
These posts with the right kind of hashtags almost always do well. 
Mastdon may have just become the Left version of Twitter, just like #BlusSky.
Threads is more commercial. Moreover, most Fedi instances block/restrict Fedi lol.
Also, I wonder why you responded from your Mastodon account when I @ mentioned your Threads account. 😅
How has your experience differed b/w the two, in terms of interaction with the people?

Do you count Bluesky as the Fediverse? Why?
@asklemmy@lemmy.ml @asklemmy@lemmy.world
#Fediverse #AskFediverse #Question
@hongminhee@hackers.pub
최근 X(구 Twitter)를 떠나는 사람들이 늘면서 Bluesky에 대한 관심이 뜨겁습니다. Bluesky는 깔끔한 인터페이스와 과거 Twitter와 유사한 사용자 경험을 제공하며, 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈(credible exit)이라는 매력적인 개념을 내세워 X의 유력한 대안으로 떠오르고 있습니다. 하지만 Bluesky와 그 기반 프로토콜인 AT Protocol을 연합우주(fediverse)의 대안으로 보기에는 근본적인 차이가 존재합니다. 이 글에서는 Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨(@cwebber)의 날카로운 분석(〈Bluesky는 실제로 얼마나 탈중앙화 되어 있나〉 및 〈답장: 답장: Bluesky와 탈중앙화〉)을 바탕으로, Bryan Newbold 씨(@bnewbold)의 반론(〈Bluesky와 탈중앙화에 대한 답변〉)을 충분히 고려하면서 Bluesky가 어째서 X의 대안은 될 수 있어도 연합우주의 대안은 될 수 없는지 이야기를 풀어볼까 합니다.
Bluesky와 연합우주의 가장 큰 차이점 중 하나는 설계입니다. 연합우주는 이메일이나 XMPP와 유사한 메시지 전달(message passing) 방식을 채택하고 있습니다. 이는 특정 수신자에게 메시지를 직접 전달하는 방식으로, 효율성이 높습니다. 예를 들어, 수많은 서버 중 단 몇 곳의 사용자만 특정 메시지에 관심을 있다면 해당 서버에만 메시지를 전달하면 됩니다. 비유하자면, 철수가 영희에게 편지를 보내려면 직접 영희의 집으로 편지를 보내고, 영희가 회신하고 싶으면 직접 철수에게 회신하는 것과 같은 방식입니다.
반면, Bluesky는 공유 힙(shared heap) 방식을 사용합니다. 이는 메시지를 특정 수신자에게 직접 보내는 대신, 모든 메시지를 중앙의 “릴레이”라는 곳에 저장하고, 관심 있는 사용자가 릴레이에서 자신에게 필요한 정보를 필터링하는 방식입니다. 이는 마치 모든 편지가 하나의 거대한 우체국(릴레이)에 쌓이고, 각자가 이 우체국에 방문하여 자신에게 관련된 편지를 직접 찾아야 하는 것과 같습니다. 이런 방식에서는 메시지가 직접 전달되지 않기 때문에, 답글이 어떤 메시지에 대한 것인지 파악하려면 모든 가능한 메시지를 알고 있어야 합니다.
이 설계는 데이터와 색인을 분리하여 유연성을 제공한다는 주장도 있지만, 필연적으로 대규모 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되어 탈중앙화의 이상과는 거리가 멀어진다는 한계가 있습니다.
결국 Bluesky가 공유 힙 방식을 채택하고 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되는 데에는 운영 비용이라는 현실적인 이유가 크게 작용합니다. Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨의 분석에 따르면, Bluesky에서 전체 네트워크 기록을 저장하는 릴레이를 운영하는 데에는 상당한 스토리지를 요구하며, 이는 빠르게 증가하고 있습니다. 2024년 7월에는 약 1TB의 저장 공간이 필요했지만, 불과 4개월 후인 11월에는 약 5TB로 증가했습니다. 상업용 호스팅 서비스 기준으로 이는 연간 수만 달러(약 $55,000)에 달하는 비용이 발생할 수 있습니다.
반면, 연합우주에서는 개인이나 소규모 단체가 Raspberry Pi와 같은 저렴한 장비로도 GoToSocial과 같은 소프트웨어를 실행하여 독립적인 노드를 운영할 수 있습니다. 물론 대규모 연합우주 인스턴스는 더 많은 비용이 들겠지만, Bluesky의 전체 릴레이 운영 비용과는 비교하기 어려울 정도로 저렴합니다. 이처럼 운영 비용의 현격한 차이는 Bluesky가 분산된 구조를 채택하기 어렵게 만들고, 결국 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 만드는 주요 원인이라고 볼 수 있습니다.
Bluesky는 댓글 누락과 같은 문제를 피하기 위해 네트워크 전체의 일관된 전역 뷰를 유지하는 데 집중하는 것으로 보입니다. 이러한 목표는 사용자 경험 측면에서 긍정적일 수 있지만, 필연적으로 중앙 집권화를 야기합니다. 대표적인 예가 차단 목록의 전체 공개입니다. 네트워크 전체의 일관성을 유지하기 위해 누가 누구를 차단했는지 모든 앱뷰가 알아야 하므로, 차단 정보가 공개되는 것입니다.
이는 개인 정보 보호 측면에서 심각한 우려를 낳을 수 있습니다. 단순히 누군가의 게시물을 보고 차단된 사람을 추측하는 것과, 네트워크에 “J. K. Rowling[1]을 차단한 모든 사람”을 직접 질의할 수 있는 것 사이에는 큰 차이가 있습니다. 실제로 ActivityPub 개발 과정에서는 이런 문제를 고려하여 서버 간에 차단 활동을 전달하지 않도록 명시적으로 설계했습니다. 이는 차단한 사람이 차단당한 사람의 보복을 받을 위험을 줄이기 위함입니다.
반면 연합우주에서는 각 서버가 독립적으로 차단 정책을 시행하며, 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성을 제공합니다.
연합우주의 핵심 프로토콜인 ActivityPub은 W3C의 채택 권고안으로, 개방형 표준입니다. 이는 누구나 자유롭게 구현하고 사용할 수 있으며, 다양한 소프트웨어 간의 상호 운용성을 보장합니다. 현재 페디버스 커뮤니티는 FEP를 중심으로 활발하게 프로토콜을 개선하고 발전시켜 나가고 있습니다. 반면, Bluesky의 AT Protocol은 아직 특정 사기업에 의해 주도되고 있으며, 개방형 표준으로서의 지위는 아직 확립되지 않았습니다. 이는 페디버스가 가진 확장성과 지속 가능성 측면에서 중요한 차이점이라고 할 수 있습니다.
Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정이나 이동 가능한 아이덴티티와 같은 탈중앙화 요소를 도입했지만, DM은 완전히 중앙화되어 있습니다. 사용자가 어떤 PDS를 사용하든, 어떤 릴레이를 사용하든 상관없이 모든 DM은 Bluesky 회사를 통해 전송됩니다.
이는 Bluesky가 아직 기능적으로 완전한 Twitter 대체품이 되기 위해 속도를 우선시했다는 증거입니다. Bluesky는 이 DM 시스템이 장기적인 솔루션이 아니라고 밝혔지만, 대부분의 사용자들은 이 사실을 인지하지 못하고 있으며 DM도 AT Protocol의 다른 기능처럼 작동한다고 가정합니다.
이러한 중앙화된 DM 구현은 “신뢰할 수 있는 이탈”이라는 Bluesky의 핵심 가치와도 모순됩니다. 만약 Bluesky社가 적대적인 인수나 정책 변경을 겪게 된다면, 사용자들의 개인 대화는 완전히 회사의 통제 하에 남게 됩니다.
Bluesky는 이동 가능한 아이덴티티(portable identity)를 핵심적인 장점 중 하나로 내세우며, 이를 위해 DIDs, 즉 분산 식별자를 활용합니다. 이는 사용자가 자신의 계정과 데이터를 다른 플랫폼으로 쉽게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 중요한 기능입니다. 하지만 Christine Lemmer-Webber는 AT Protocol이 채택한 did:web과 did:plc 방식이 여전히 DNS와 Bluesky社가 관리하는 중앙 집권화된 PLC 레지스트리에 의존하고 있어 완전한 사용자 통제하의 독립적인 아이덴티티를 제공하는지 의문을 제기합니다.
더 놀라운 점은 Bluesky社가 초기에 모든 계정에 대해 동일한 rotationKeys를 사용했다는 사실입니다. 이는 클라우드 HSM 제품이 키별로 비용을 청구해서 각 사용자에게 고유한 키를 제공하는 것이 금전적으로 비용이 많이 들었기 때문이라고 합니다. 이러한 접근 방식은 DIDs 시스템을 구축하는 근본적인 목표와 모순되는 것으로 보입니다.
중요한 점은 DIDs 기술 자체가 탈중앙화된 아이덴티티를 위한 잠재력을 가지고 있음에도, Bluesky와 AT Protocol이 채택한 특정 방식이 중앙 집권화된 요소에 의존한다는 것입니다. 블록체인 기반의 DIDs와 같은 진정으로 탈중앙화된 방식도 존재하지만, AT Protocol은 비교적 구현이 쉬운 did:web과 did:plc를 선택했습니다. 따라서 사용자가 Bluesky 생태계를 벗어나 자신의 아이덴티티를 완전히 독립적으로 관리하고자 할 때 제약이 발생할 수 있습니다.
또한 현재 시스템에서는 Bluesky社가 사용자의 키를 대신 관리하고 있어, 사용자가 현재는 Bluesky社를 신뢰하더라도 미래에 신뢰하지 않게 된 경우에도 여전히 회사에 의존해야 합니다. Bluesky社가 사용자를 대신하여 이동을 수행하도록 신뢰해야 하며, 심지어 Bluesky社가 사용자에게 향후 신원 정보를 제어할 권한을 위임하더라도 Bluesky社는 항상 해당 사용자의 키를 통제할 것입니다.
한편, 연합우주에서는 이미 노마딕 아이덴티티(nomadic identity)라는 개념을 통해 이동 가능한 아이덴티티에 대한 논의와 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔습니다. 이는 단순히 계정을 이전하는 것을 넘어, 사용자의 데이터와 관계, 심지어 평판까지도 자유롭게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 더 포괄적인 개념입니다. 《We Distribute》에 실린 기사 〈오, Zot! ActivityPub에 노마딕 아이덴티티가 도입된다〉에 소개된 Zot 프로토콜과 같은 기술은 이미 연합우주 안에서 이러한 노마딕 아이덴티티를 구현하기 위한 메커니즘을 제공하고 있습니다. 또한, FEP-ef61와 같은 제안을 통해 ActivityPub 자체를 개선하여 더 나은 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 기능을 추가하려는 노력도 진행 중입니다.
결론적으로, Bluesky는 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스와 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈 기능을 통해 X의 훌륭한 대안이 될 수 있습니다. Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정 방식을 통해 노드가 다운되더라도 콘텐츠가 살아남을 수 있게 하는 등 연합우주가 아직 충분히 활용하지 못하는 몇 가지 강점도 가지고 있습니다.
하지만 중앙 집권화된 설계, 전역 뷰에 대한 집착으로 인한 부작용, 개방형 표준으로서의 한계, DM의 중앙화, 그리고 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 구현의 제한점 등 여러 측면에서 연합우주의 대안으로 보기는 어렵습니다. 연합우주는 메시지 전달 방식의 분산된 아키텍처, 낮은 참여 장벽, 개방형 표준 기반의 활발한 커뮤니티 개발, 그리고 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성과 통제권을 제공하는 철학을 바탕으로 구축된, 근본적으로 다른 종류의 탈중앙화 소셜 네트워크입니다.
또한, Bluesky社가 벤처 캐피털 자금을 확보함에 따라 “조직은 미래의 적이다”라는 그들의 자체 인식에도 불구하고, 투자자 수익과 플랫폼 성장이라는 상업적 압력이 진정한 탈중앙화 추구보다 우선시될 위험이 있습니다. 특히 유료 계정과 광고가 도입되면서 이러한 우려는 더욱 커질 수 있습니다.
따라서 Bluesky는 X를 대체할 수 있을지 모르지만, 연합우주가 제공하는 탈중앙화된 가치와 경험을 대체하기는 어려울 것이라고 생각합니다. 두 시스템은 근본적으로 다른 목표와 설계 철학을 가지고 있으며, 이상적으로는 서로를 보완하는 방향으로 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것입니다.

@Mastodon Good luck, I hope all proposed changes and taken actions will turn out to be good for the platform and for the account holders of the #fediverse.
In support of your decision to not accept VC funds, I just made a small donation.
Thank you, and Godspeed!

Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?
In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

I like Tapestry for following Masradon, BlueSky and RSS feeds but have the problem that I can’t interact on it. I would love if there was a way to have posts open in a different app like Ivory when I want to start, share, or respond to a post. The current situation of it opening a web browser and having to log in is much friction.

Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.
The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.
They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.
Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.
Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

What should #FEP Process be about? #ActivityPub et al? Or everything that vaguely represents #SocialWeb?
I took FEP codeberg chat to a #SocialHub thread that discusses how we can ensure and foster an open and grassroots ecosystem.
Imho the FEP Process should define its particular scope of protocols and technologies that are relevant, and that involves AS/AP and closely affiliated technologies.
FEP Process should NOT define what #Fediverse is. Leave that to Fedizens.

I am taking a small break from the #Fediverse for a little while. No, it’s not permanent. This semester was a really tough one, and I need to focus on wellness for the near future.
Right now, I’m playing Oblivion Remastered, and it’s wonderful.

Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.

Hey fedi, I need some help!
I am trying to connect an application I am making with the Fediverse. When I search for an actor I am successfully able to get to the profile (yay) but when I search for a post I cannot find it.
I am receiving the GET request and am sending the response with the content type ("application/activity+json") (for example):
{
"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"name":"New Note",
"type":"Note",
"id":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/posts/1",
"attributedTo":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/users/1",
"content":"Hello there!",
"to":[]
}
Why would Mastodon not display the post?
The on Mastodon’s side is returning 403 action not allowed.
Thank you

"What about free speech?"
A common question, often misunderstood. This new IFTAS Connect Library article breaks down what free speech really means (especially in US contexts), how it's often misapplied in moderation debates, and why community boundaries matter.

I literally listen to music all day everyday 😅 if I'm able to.
I love playing golf ⛳ when time allows.
I'm a designer engineer in the field of stainless steel conveyor/ guards. I build SS guards for industrial equipment (conveyors)

Non-profit status is not a bulwark against market-based hegemony or hierarchical coercion. To the contrary, non-profits also provide cover for authoritarian moves in capitalist societies. I am curious as to whose laws this “European” organization would be subject: #Germany, maybe, which cracks down on free speech against #genocide?
“#Mastodon has taken the strategic decision not to accept venture capital investments for growth, but rather restructure to a European non-profit organisation. This means that we’re reliant on your support to build a team to work full-time on new product features, maintain mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and represent Mastodon and the broader #Fediverse to #policy makers and to #media organisations. The elements of our mission related to an open #internet, #privacy, and #data ownership are more important than ever.”

I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.
But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because we are strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

Discourse beschreibt sein ActivityPub-Plugin
#Discourse hat wohl beschlossen sein ActivityPub-Plugin stärker zu bewerben. Passt ja auch vom Timing her ganz gut zum Drama, das sich so langsam um Discord abzeichnet.
@openrisk@mastodon.social · Reply to Mastodon's post
@Mastodon it will be tricky to liberate people from legacy social media platforms. People that embrace the values and vision of the #fediverse have already migrated years ago, despite the usability issues. New opportunities do come when there are major shocks, like political events but luck favors the prepared: #bluesky grew a lot as of late because of a smoother UX and catering in particular to US users fleeing X/Tweeter.
Tough job but failure not an option 🙏😍😬🖖

@docyeet@halis.io
Question of the day, I have #mastodon hosted on my halis.io domain, same for my #synapse instance, and it works without issues because one uses #activitypub and the other #matrix
But, if I setup a #manyfold instance on the same domain, as in without subdomain, it shouldn’t work, right ?
Would there be a way to converge both manyfold and mastodon under the same base domain ? Or do I have to use a subdomain for one ?

I’ve worked in tech for many years, and one of the events that has been a constant part of the calendar is SXSW. I remember signing up for Twitter back in 2007 just after I heard about it while chatting in Roo Reynolds’ office at IBM, from a visitor who had been at SXSW where it first took off (referenced in a post back over here).
That was nearly 20 years ago now – and in all of that time, I never had the opportunity to go to SXSW for the tech part1 of the festival…
This year, our friends at Flipboard created a side event they called Fediverse House, as a eye-catching label for a series of talks and sessions around the open social web
[yes, it was broader than the Fediverse; some other platforms and topics were represented, too. It was great to be able to talk about the Fediverse]
I was excited to be able to join the event2, and even more so, I was honoured to be asked to join a panel moderated by the wonderful Mia Quagliarello all about building communities on the new social web. I briefly mentioned this trip on the most recent Mastodon blog post update for our updates during March, but I’m now able to include more about the content here.
Here’s the video of our panel discussion, available on Flipboard’s PeerTube – or, on YouTube for those of you that are not yet Fediverse-enabled, or who want to watch on your TV or something 🙂 I hope I did an OK job, representing the good people of the different communities on the Fediverse. I know that my own experience and perspective is not a universal one and I do my best to reflect that when I talk about our spaces.
As well as this panel, the event included some fantastic talks from folks such as Molly White and Cory Doctorow (clips are on PeerTube); it gave me an opportunity to learn more about the ATProto ecosystem from chatting with the nice folks from Bluesky; I was able to meet writers from one of the best publications on the web today, 404 Media; and, it also provided a chance to spend time IRL with friends from the Fediverse – including the excellent Jeff Sikes, and also people I greatly respect and appreciate from WeDistribute, Sean and Damon.
Anyway… I still haven’t actually been to SXSW 😄
This year, I did something better than that. Thank you to the Flipboard team for all your work in putting Fediverse House together!

This year, our friends at Flipboard created a side event they called Fediverse House, as a eye-catching label for a series of talks and sessions around the open social web
[yes, it was broader than the Fediverse; some other platforms and topics were represented, too. It was great to be able to talk about the Fediverse]
I was excited to be able to join the event2, and even more so, I was honoured to be asked to join a panel moderated by the wonderful Mia Quagliarello all about building communities on the new social web. I briefly mentioned this trip on the most recent Mastodon blog post update for our updates during March, but I’m now able to include more about the content here.
Here’s the video of our panel discussion, available on Flipboard’s PeerTube – or, on YouTube for those of you that are not yet Fediverse-enabled, or who want to watch on your TV or something 🙂 I hope I did an OK job, representing the good people of the different communities on the Fediverse. I know that my own experience and perspective is not a universal one and I do my best to reflect that when I talk about our spaces.
As well as this panel, the event included some fantastic talks from folks such as Molly White and Cory Doctorow (clips are on PeerTube); it gave me an opportunity to learn more about the ATProto ecosystem from chatting with the nice folks from Bluesky; I was able to meet writers from one of the best publications on the web today, 404 Media; and, it also provided a chance to spend time IRL with friends from the Fediverse – including the excellent Jeff Sikes, and also people I greatly respect and appreciate from WeDistribute, Sean and Damon.
Anyway… I still haven’t actually been to SXSW 😄
This year, I did something better than that. Thank you to the Flipboard team for all your work in putting Fediverse House together!

My relay instance for the #Fediverse evolved in a great way - more than 120 instances are already connected to boost your posts across the Fediverse.
If you're running #snac / #snac2, #Mastodon, #Pleroma or any other software on the #ActivityPub protocol that supports relay instances - feel free to join the relay! Hopefully #GoToSocial also supports relay services soon! Of course #IPv6 is supported (for IPV6 only instances).
@pre@boing.world
Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.
The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.
They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.
Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.
Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

ThreadsでFediverse連携を視野に入れた規約変更が行われることについて、「自分の投稿が勝手に他のSNSに流されるようになる！Xとかに流されちゃうかも！！」といった誤った解釈が拡散されてしまって大パニックになっている。それに対して見当違いな対応策が流されてたりともうめちゃくちゃな状況🤪
いやFediverse共有の存在すら知らない人は何も心配することないのにw
しかし今年に入ってThreadsのFediverse対応に全く進展が見られなくなったのでやる気なくしたのかなと思ってたが、一応進めるつもりはあるんだろうか🤔

Shoutout to @aral for suggesting I use "Accounts" instead of "Users" in the new FediDB!
It may seem like a trivial change, but it really conveys the federated nature of the Fediverse better.
One person can have multiple accounts across instances, and "Users" implies a centralized system.
Small language shifts like this help reinforce the decentralized ethos we're building.

I'm not sure if I get Pixelfeed.
I like the idea, but most content is just images from Mastodon, which are taken out of context and displayed in an image feed.
Don't you want to have something that is solely dedicated to images instead of shoving you everything with an attached image from Mastodon onto your feed?

Goodmorning #Fosstodon and #Fediverse ☕️ Hope you're all doing well!
I just wanted to say how positively overwhelmed I am by all the responses from our community after our call for volunteers! 😊 Next week I'll figure out how to invite you all to Mattermost, and then we'll build a team. The 📣 call 📣 is still open, more responses are always welcome.
There's some discussion about how to learn from past situations, I promise that will be a longer blogpost in the future. For now, basics first!

We’ve just uploaded a bunch of clips from @davidimel's Fediverse Corner panel at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025, featuring @evan, @mmasnick and @pcottle
We know the sound is super rough 😅 but many of these snippets deserve to be heard. Thanks for bearing with us.
They talk about:
- Solving the cold start problem
- Taking control back from billionaires
- The deal with Threads’ federation
- Keeping vibes sacred (and whole)

Threads changed it's terms of service, going into effect on May 28th.
It references "The Protocol" a LOT. In this case, it has to be the Fediverse.
More interoperability coming soon?🤔

Goodmorning #fosstodon and #fediverse! ☕️
Just a quick update: I still intend on continuing Fosstodon and taking over admin tasks from @kev and @mike, together with some volunteers (more help is always welcome!). I spoke with K&M yesterday, they're very supportive of this. We have a longer meeting planned later this week.
I was a mod here a few years ago, so I have some insight in how things work. I'd like to keep things as is. I hope everyone will stay a bit longer while we work this out! 😊

I had a call with @kev and @mike yesterday. They took me through the admin workload and whoo. It's A LOT. It's seriously impressive how much they do in order to keep Fosstodon running, nice, and safe. They will stay on for a bit to help train successors. K&M THANK YOU again for all the hard work 👏👏👏
It's not going to be easy, and it will take a team, but it's doable. Immediately after this toot I'll post what I'll need and next steps! 1/2

People of the #fediverse, I need some #help.
I'm looking to either self-host (ideally) or rent some #ActivityPub related services. Namely #GoToSocial, #PeerTube and possible #Owncast. As more or less of a noob on these things, where do I go to get started and to gather the basics of what I need?
@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz
#PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.
Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.
Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds
It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

Goodmorning #fosstodon and #fediverse ☕️ Another update!
I had a call with @kev and @mike yesterday. They took me through the admin workload and whoo. It's A LOT. It's seriously impressive how much they do in order to keep Fosstodon running, nice, and safe. They will stay on for a bit to help train successors. K&M THANK YOU again for all the hard work 👏👏👏
It's not going to be easy, and it will take a team, but it's doable. Immediately after this toot I'll post what I'll need and next steps! 1/2
@FrankauLux@polyglot.city
Totally unscientific attempt to see how multilingual the fediverse is (or not).

Threads changed it's terms of service, going into effect on May 28th.
It references "The Protocol" a LOT. In this case, it has to be the Fediverse.

I'm looking to either self-host (ideally) or rent some #ActivityPub related services. Namely #GoToSocial, #PeerTube and possible #Owncast. As more or less of a noob on these things, where do I go to get started and to gather the basics of what I need?

Fediverse Report #114 - This week's #fediverse news:
- Drama around a Fosstodon moderator, leading to the admins of the Fosstodon server stepping down. I take a closer look on what this says about how instance selection works on the fediverse, and why this means more servers should have a federation policy
- NLnet announces their latest round of fundings, with a grant for Peertube and a new project build on top of Bonfire.

Just because 10 people on the Fediverse have certain norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics does NOT make these the culture of the Fediverse.
Not even if it were 100 people.
Not even if it were 1,000 people.
Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!
No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

The takeaway of the whole #fosstodon incident shouldn't be,
"THIS IS WHY MODERATION IS BAD BECAUSE MODS ARE BASICALLY SMALLER VERSIONS OF CENSORSHIP PEOPLE!"
Nor should it be takes like, paraphrasing here, but,
"I had to examine my stance as a moderator, and really examine the kind of community I want to foster, so as a result of this examination, I've concluded that the Fediverse is absolutely no different from anywhere else on the web because people start drama and people are passionate about things."
Despite those eye rollingly dull takes, we can learn something!
There's a few things we can learn from the whole thing.
1. Notifications are important. For offline people, having to wake up to an instance defederation one day seemingly at random isn't a good user experience. Defederations should be an option for email notifications people can check or uncheck.
What Fediverse projects have these kinds of notifications?
While not an email notification, still, glad to see others discussing this! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891
2. In app notifications are important. For this, I'd have placeholders where your friends mentions and stuff are, not home timeline, that say, this instance has been blocked, or this instance has been defederated, or something.
Again, I'd love to know what projects already do this, if any.
I did find this issue though about this very thing! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891
3. Taking time to craft a meaningful statement would be better than sharing Mastodon post links, well, unless you have an instance with a character limit such as mine. Seriously, instances should be giant walls of text. I'm not joking! It's been proven, over and over again, that short threads are just a bad user experience waiting to happen, but I've long since learned that tech people don't like to make things easier on users so, let's keep chucking on people! I'm sure it will all work out if nothing changes, but moving on,
I haven't found a listing that lists these kinds of instances/communities. Anyone know of such a database?
4. More projects should start pointing to well ran community wiki's on their homepages or similar.
Community documentation is especially good for things that need quick updates and people need to know where exits are. If you don't want to maintain your own Fedi documentation, link to strong community wikis.
Along that same line, if you literally built a Fediverse thing, provide links to strong, non-technical, documentation of your thing! That shows passion, and it gives back. I haven't seen any project link to the @FediTips website on any official websites and they do fantastic documentation work.
My underrepresented Fedi resource find of the weak is actually this one! https://thefedi.wiki/
If I have more thoughts, I'll edit this post. I've already read 3 blog posts on the subject by privileged dudes that painted this whole issue as drama, and they aren't worth linking to, honestly! You can find them really easily by just reading the hashtag though.

Goodmorning #fosstodon and #fediverse! ☕️
Just a quick update: I still intend on continuing Fosstodon and taking over admin tasks from @kev and @mike, together with some volunteers (more help is always welcome!). I spoke with K&M yesterday, they're very supportive of this. We have a longer meeting planned later this week.
I was a mod here a few years ago, so I have some insight in how things work. I'd like to keep things as is. I hope everyone will stay a bit longer while we work this out! 😊

"I had to examine my stance as a moderator, and really examine the kind of community I want to foster, so as a result of this examination, I've concluded that the Fediverse is absolutely no different from anywhere else on the web because people start drama and people are passionate about things."
Despite those eye rollingly dull takes, we can learn something!
There's a few things we can learn from the whole thing.
1. Notifications are important. For offline people, having to wake up to an instance defederation one day seemingly at random isn't a good user experience. Defederations should be an option for email notifications people can check or uncheck.
What Fediverse projects have these kinds of notifications?
While not an email notification, still, glad to see others discussing this! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891
2. In app notifications are important. For this, I'd have placeholders where your friends mentions and stuff are, not home timeline, that say, this instance has been blocked, or this instance has been defederated, or something.
Again, I'd love to know what projects already do this, if any.
I did find this issue though about this very thing! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891
3. Taking time to craft a meaningful statement would be better than sharing Mastodon post links, well, unless you have an instance with a character limit such as mine. Seriously, instances should be giant walls of text. I'm not joking! It's been proven, over and over again, that short threads are just a bad user experience waiting to happen, but I've long since learned that tech people don't like to make things easier on users so, let's keep chucking on people! I'm sure it will all work out if nothing changes, but moving on,
I haven't found a listing that lists these kinds of instances/communities. Anyone know of such a database?
4. More projects should start pointing to well ran community wiki's on their homepages or similar.
Community documentation is especially good for things that need quick updates and people need to know where exits are. If you don't want to maintain your own Fedi documentation, link to strong community wikis.
Along that same line, if you literally built a Fediverse thing, provide links to strong, non-technical, documentation of your thing! That shows passion, and it gives back. I haven't seen any project link to the @FediTips website on any official websites and they do fantastic documentation work.
My underrepresented Fedi resource find of the weak is actually this one! https://thefedi.wiki/
If I have more thoughts, I'll edit this post. I've already read 3 blog posts on the subject by privileged dudes that painted this whole issue as drama, and they aren't worth linking to, honestly! You can find them really easily by just reading the hashtag though.

It's nice to finally see @kev and @mike make statements about the drama that happened on #Fosstodon however, the sad part is to see that they are both likely stepping away. They will either shut the instance down completely or possibly let others take it over to keep it alive.
Regardless, there will be a lot of people that will end up needing/wanting to find a new instance to call home, and that's not a fun experience here on the #Fediverse
With regards to them both stepping away, regardless of how it's done, I get it, totally.
I ran #AllThingsTech along with @beardedtechguy and while it was a ton of fun at times, it was indeed a LOT of work, and it was quite costly, even as a small server with only a couple hundred users. I can't imagine the work and the costs associated with a server that has nearly 10,000 users and is almost 8 years old.
I certainly wish Kevin and Mike both the best of luck in whatever decision they make and I hope all of those that decide to move to another instance or may end up being forced to move to another instance are able to move without much hassle or issues. This is definitely one place Mastodon needs to get much better at if it ever wants to be mainstream and truly successful in a larger fashion.
For anyone who wants to read those statements I mentioned in the beginning, you can do so via the links below.

I’m deliberately not digging into whatever happened at Fosstodon, but whatever its impact — it’s fairly contained, because the #Fediverse is pretty decentralized which limits the blast radius. This is a good thing.

For those of you on Fosstodon (UPDATED)
UPDATE, April 30: there are some encouraging changes happening at Fosstodon. That's good! So, I've updated this post accordingly -- and added a new reply about the Nazi bar analogy
Still, even though things are much more hopeful now than a week ago, it's still too early to know how things will work out. So here's a few thoughts for people who are on Fosstodon ...
1) let your new admins know what direction you want to see the instance moving in -- and, if you've got the time, consider offering to help!
2) if you're still considering potentially moving, now's a good time to start exploring. It really is hard to pick a compatible instance, and you'll want to take the time to scope things out. Don't feel like your next choice is necessarily your permanent new home -- you can always treat it as an interim and move again if necessary. Asking friends for recommendations is a great place to start but not bulletproof (would you have recommended fosstodon if somebody had asked you about it a month ago?) ...Resources for choosing the right fediverse instances has links to directories and instance catalogs that can help you find out more
3) You can set up new accounts on other instances without moving -- so this is a good way to explore. One option is to export the list of people you're following (on the Preferences / Import and Export tab ), and import it on your new account. Or, if you feel like you're following too many people, this can also be a good time to experiment -- either start from scratch, or edit the CSV file before importing. You'll probably also want to export-and-import your blocklists, mutelists, domain blocks, and lists if you have any. Unfortunately there isn't any way to export and import your filters, so you'll need to recreate those manually.
4) If you're planning on "migrating" your account, make sure to read Cutie City's guide to Migrating Servers and Erin Kissane's Notes From a Mastodon Migration first to avoid unpleaant surprises.
It really sucks that Mastodon migration doesn't let you move your posts, but things are getting better. Check out Posty and Slurp
5) if you're up for having your own instance, it's really worth checking out GoToSocial. My experience with gotosocial.thenexus.today: setup and configuration were straightforward and well-documented, and upgrades have been smooth. There are also hosted options available. And, Slurp works really well with GoToSocial! If you decide to stay on Fosstodon, you can either keep it around as a secondary account ... or just view it as an interesting experiment and delete it.

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses #ActivityPub DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any #fediverse account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (#Mastodon, #Misskey), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

“Why did you choose Mastodon and not Bluesky?” This is my answer to that question. It begins with a law from the turn of the millennium that was initially described as a failure, takes a path through domain names I've owned for nearly three decades, a need to test the winds, and ultimately lands on the fact that right now, I prioritize “decentralized” over “decentralizable” as a matter of principle.

I know most people dislike AI on the Fediverse, but we really do need an AI on the Fediverse to deal with the spam problems.
I work for Meta, and do you think we spend all day, every day, removing spam?
NO. - We have an AI for that.
The only time I see spam is when someone appeals. You'd be surprised on how entitled people feel to post, junk. Beyond that, we mostly deal with normal junk, and spam is generally a low issue.

With the recent release of GoToSocial v0.19.0 it was time for an uprade.
https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.0
I am running GTS as podman container behind Caddy which does SSL termination (and all the LetsEncrypt magic!). And the upgrade procedure from v0.18.3 was as smooth as can be:
I stopped the current container, made a backup from my sqlite.db, upgraded the tag in compose.yaml and restarted the whole thing:
podman stop gotosocial
cp data/sqlite.db backups/sqlite.db-20250427
vim compose.yaml
# change tag from 0.18.3 to 0.19.0, save, quit
podman-compose up -d
podman logs -f gotosocial
Since I am running a small single-user instance all DB migrations were finished within seconds and I was able to log into my new settings panel to finally revoke old OAuth tokens that I had issued to all kinds of clients when I was looking for a decent web client that satisfies my needs. For me, this is a self-hosted installation of phanpy.social (which also had a new release!).
Esp. with all the ambiguous discussion around moderators/defederation on my prior instance I am happy to be selfhosting for a few weeks. This made it easier to now set up an official account migration notice redirecting to this one here.
This is definitely another advantage of the fediverse: The decentralised nature makes it easy to move accounts from one instance to another, it's built into the protocol!
A big thanks to the @gotosocial team, @phanpy and everybody who makes the fediverse a nice place to be. You rock! <3

大家好，#Fread 现在已经决定开源了，欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。
Fread 经历了两年多的开发，从开始到现在一直免费使用，之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源，仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源，现在主要功能都开发的差不多了，也是时候开源出来了。
虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码，但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的，首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台，目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少，并且这是比较新的技术，这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。
总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。
总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

For those of you on Fosstodon (UPDATED)
UPDATE, April 30: there are some encouraging changes happening at Fosstodon. That's good! So, I've updated this post accordingly -- and added a new reply about the Nazi bar analogy
Still, even though things are much more hopeful now than a week ago, it's still too early to know how things will work out. So here's a few thoughts for people who are on Fosstodon ...
1) let your new admins know what direction you want to see the instance moving in -- and, if you've got the time, consider offering to help!
2) if you're still considering potentially moving, now's a good time to start exploring. It really is hard to pick a compatible instance, and you'll want to take the time to scope things out. Don't feel like your next choice is necessarily your permanent new home -- you can always treat it as an interim and move again if necessary. Asking friends for recommendations is a great place to start but not bulletproof (would you have recommended fosstodon if somebody had asked you about it a month ago?) ...Resources for choosing the right fediverse instances has links to directories and instance catalogs that can help you find out more
3) You can set up new accounts on other instances without moving -- so this is a good way to explore. One option is to export the list of people you're following (on the Preferences / Import and Export tab ), and import it on your new account. Or, if you feel like you're following too many people, this can also be a good time to experiment -- either start from scratch, or edit the CSV file before importing. You'll probably also want to export-and-import your blocklists, mutelists, domain blocks, and lists if you have any. Unfortunately there isn't any way to export and import your filters, so you'll need to recreate those manually.
4) If you're planning on "migrating" your account, make sure to read Cutie City's guide to Migrating Servers and Erin Kissane's Notes From a Mastodon Migration first to avoid unpleaant surprises.
It really sucks that Mastodon migration doesn't let you move your posts, but things are getting better. Check out Posty and Slurp
5) if you're up for having your own instance, it's really worth checking out GoToSocial. My experience with gotosocial.thenexus.today: setup and configuration were straightforward and well-documented, and upgrades have been smooth. There are also hosted options available. And, Slurp works really well with GoToSocial! If you decide to stay on Fosstodon, you can either keep it around as a secondary account ... or just view it as an interesting experiment and delete it.

Fediverse Report – #113
When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.
Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Fediverse Report #113
this week's #fediverse news is quiet, with some academic research papers on Mastodon, some renewed interest in Mastodon from Taiwan, and more.
@surf@flipboard.social
Top o' the list in this week’s release is publish your Surf feeds to Bluesky and a new feature: the ability to pin posts.
Pinned posts are great for setting tone and context for people new to your feed. Use them to suggest hashtags and other ways for followers to participate, and add a link to the full feed (if your feed is also published to Bluesky — more on that here https://bsky.app/profile/surf.social/post/3lnnpyqge5c2p).
As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to feedback@surf.social. And thank you for testing with us!

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses #ActivityPub DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any #fediverse account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (#Mastodon, #Misskey), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

Hallo liebes #Fediverse.
Ich bin auch mal #neuhier und freue auf einen regen Austausch.
Meine Interessen:
Photovoltaik und Home Automation, Low Energy Computing und alles, was mit Technik zu tun hat.
Ansonsten interessiere ich mich leider auch für Politik, die einen ja mittlerweile nur noch runterzieht.
Außerdem lege ich täglich mal ein Ei, sonntags auch mal 2!
@hongminhee@hollo.social
Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

This 2019 Mastodon feature request suggests supporting post transfer when migrating to a different instance. If you'd like such a feature (I sure do) consider thumbing-up or reacting to the issue.

@hongminhee@hollo.social · Reply to 洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)'s post
For those skeptical of DMs in #ActivityPub: I'm also considering an alternative verification approach using ActivityPub's Question feature. Instead of sending numeric codes, the system could send a poll with several emoji options, and the user would select the one that matches what's displayed on their login screen. This visual authentication method might offer better security against certain automated attacks while still leveraging federation rather than platform-specific APIs. Would this approach address some of the privacy concerns around DM-based verification?

Top o' the list in this week’s release is publish your Surf feeds to Bluesky and a new feature: the ability to pin posts.
Pinned posts are great for setting tone and context for people new to your feed. Use them to suggest hashtags and other ways for followers to participate, and add a link to the full feed (if your feed is also published to Bluesky — more on that here https://bsky.app/profile/surf.social/post/3lnnpyqge5c2p).
As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to feedback@surf.social. And thank you for testing with us!

🤔 Warum sind wir als Universität Innsbruck auf Mastodon?
Einige Gründe:
🔸 Digitale Souveränität: Wissenschaftskommunikation auf unabhängigen Plattformen
🔸 #OpenScience & Third Mission: Wissen frei zugänglich bereitstellen
🔸 Gesetzliche Regulierungen: datenschutzfreundlich kommunizieren
🔸 Öffentliche Vorreiterrolle: digitale Infrastruktur mitgestalten

In the spirit of: “Ask not what the Fediverse can do for you, but what you can do for the Fediverse” here are some initiatives I’ll be undertaking, starting next week:
I’m really lucky to have the help of two interns for this project: a video introducing the key benefits of the Fediverse to people not familiar with it.Our goal is to have the video ready by May 23rd, in time for my talk at a FOSS conference (more details about it coming soon).Naturally, I will release the video on my brand new self-hosted PeerTube instance (aka the Fediverse’s answer to YouTube).
For the next two months I will be busy planning, shooting and editing videos… and won’t have time to sit down and write 2,000 word, deep dives of Fediverse software for The Future is Federated. So, I had an idea: how about doing written interviews with fascinating people on the Fediverse, showcasing the interesting ways they communicate on it and the initiatives they’re spearheading? This project would allow readers to discover new interesting people to follow on the Fediverse – or to get to know better people they are already familiar with. And on my end, I could use the same blueprint for the interviews – and thus save a lot of time writing. Win/win!
Earlier this year I created a Fediverse “stock photo” that journalists and bloggers could use to illustrate articles about the Fediverse… since most articles on the topic showed mobile phones with apps by Big Tech.Well, since I will be already creating motion graphics animations for my Fediverse videos, I thought: I could release these on my PeerTube instance and add a special Creative Commons license that would allow anyone to download and re-use my clips. I’ve noticed how online creators who talk about the Fediverse often use still images from websites… and well, my gift to the Fediverse could be cool motion graphics animations that look a little more polished and sophisticated.Hopefully when my little one will be a teenager, I will have stuff to show her: “Look at what mommy did to fight against Big Tech.” I’m trying my best, I really am.If you have any other ideas about how I could help the Fediverse – as a creative person – I’m all ears. And if you’re doing something similar, please let me know how I can support your initiatives.Thanks for being here,Elena

そもそも、分散化という意味では #BlueSky と #Mastodon を比べるんじゃなくて、 #BlueSky と #Fediverse をくらべるべきなのではという気もする。 #ATProtocol と #ActivityPub の比較といったほうが良いかも。
#Mastodon の半分が最もメジャーなサーバー以外のサーバーに分散しているということは、#Fediverse という単位でみたらもっと多くの割合が分散しているということになるはず

I’m still working hard on FediDB, and while I do have more important tasks to work on, I need to wrap this massive FediDB refactor up so I can focus on Pixelfed and Loops again.
I haven’t really touched FediDB this much since 2021, and it’s a valuable fediverse resource.
Aiming to launch the new frontend shortly!

What to learn more about the #fediverse and #ActivityPub? This tutorial (https://fedify.dev/tutorial/microblog) from @fedify is a really good starter. It explains how to implement a really simple #federated server and see how communication exchange are done with AP.

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.
For complete docs and more examples, visit our docs site.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!
BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.
I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.
I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.
I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.
(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.
The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.
They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.
Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.
Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。
#BotKit 0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。
完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。
フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています！

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 #ActivityPub 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 #연합우주(#fediverse) 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.
이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.
BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.
가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 #커스텀_에모지 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.
// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);
이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.
Bot.addCustomEmojis()로 봇에 커스텀 에모지 추가하기customEmoji() 함수로 메시지에 에모지 포함하기Emoji 객체를 text 태그 템플릿에서 사용하기소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.
// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기Bot.onReact와 Bot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 #인용 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.
// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
quoteTarget 옵션으로 메시지 인용하기Message.quoteTarget을 통해 인용된 메시지에 접근하기Bot.onQuote 이벤트 핸들러로 인용 이벤트 처리하기소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.
연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.
이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.
이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]

BotKit은 ActivityPub 서버 애플리케이션을 만들기 위한 하위 레벨 프레임워크인 Fedify의 지원을 받습니다.
@botkit@hollo.social
We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.
For complete docs and more examples, visit our docs site.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!
BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.
I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.
I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.
I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.
(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

🤔 Warum sind wir als Universität Innsbruck auf Mastodon?
Einige Gründe:
🔸 Digitale Souveränität: Wissenschaftskommunikation auf unabhängigen Plattformen
🔸 #OpenScience & Third Mission: Wissen frei zugänglich bereitstellen
🔸 Gesetzliche Regulierungen: datenschutzfreundlich kommunizieren
🔸 Öffentliche Vorreiterrolle: digitale Infrastruktur mitgestalten

While conflicts among humans in the real world might be set aside in the face of an extraterrestrial invasion, leading to cooperation, the ongoing rivalry between #Mastodon and #bluesky users seems unending. Perhaps X’s decentralized protocol could be the key to ending this perpetual discord. #x #fediverse

How does the #fediverse feels about memberships that include accounts to a #owncast, #mastodon, #ghost, #peertube, etc. instances? Similar to cooperatives.

#BlueSky is like #Bernie or #healthcartels, pushing people toward fake remedies that will keep them captive in an exploitative system.
For Bernie, it is the corrupt, warmongering, corporatist DNC.
For healthcare, it is ALWAYS a treatment and NEVER the cure to keep people paying handsomely just to stay alive.
For BlueSky, it is a centralized social media platform where dissent is banned or censored and they lie about openness, preventing MANY from discovering the #fediverse.

Fediverse Report – #113
When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.
Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

The fedi discourse on Bluesky's verification is very frustrating Don't et me wrong, there's a lot to critique with Bluesky's approach of combining their own platform-level verification with initially annointing a handful of third-party verifiers:
community-oriented verification, along the lines that @rudyfraser.com suggests, would be much more power-distributive and equitable
as @ngerakines.me notes, Bluesky's approach is missing something critical: consent
as @DataDrivenMD points out, the current framework functionally disenfranchises community organizers who lack social networks with access to mainstream media and other institutions that are designed to exclude marginalized people
just like on Twitter, he people initially verified are overwhelmingly cis, white, and male;
the three initial external verifiers include the anti-trans NYTimes and one of their subsidiaries
Bluesky hasn't said anything about their process for making decisions about who's "notable" enough for them to verify and how they decide somebody's "authentic".
To be fair, I am seeing a bit of discussion of some of these issues here. But I'm not seeing anything about consent, or community moderation, or equity. Instead, the vast majority of what I'm seeing is people saying hat the approach of external verifiers (run by entities other than Bluesky) and the Bluesky app attaching privileged semantics to the annointed ones isn't "decentraized."
Is that really the important thing here?

As someone who has developed several #ActivityPub software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the #fediverse is #custom_emoji.
The challenges are numerous:
First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.
Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.
Perhaps most concerning is the poor #accessibility. Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.
What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。
#BotKit 0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。
完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。
フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています！

A HEALTH-CHECK URL would, for example, make sure:
• the web-server is up,
• the database connection is fine,
• maybe query one or more important tables to make sure that still works,
• make sure any 3rd party APIs are working,
• etc.
If any of those things has a problem, then it would return "500 Internal Server Error".
Else (if everything was fine then) it would return "200 OK".
@reiver@mastodon.social
A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.
But not all Fediverse does.
It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.
...
A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.
It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem
...
A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.
For complete docs and more examples, visit our docs site.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!
BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!
BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

A HEALTH-CHECK URL would, for example, make sure:
• the web-server is up,
• the database connection is fine,
• maybe query one or more important tables to make sure that still works,
• make sure any 3rd party APIs are working,
• etc.
If any of those things has a problem, then it would return "500 Internal Server Error".
Else (if everything was fine then) it would return "200 OK".
@reiver@mastodon.social
A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.
But not all Fediverse does.
It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.
...
A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.
It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem
...
A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。
#BotKit 0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。
完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。
フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています！
BotKitは、ActivityPubサーバーアプリケーションを作成するための低レベルフレームワークFedifyによって支えられています。

}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 #ActivityPub 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 #연합우주(#fediverse) 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.
이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.
BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.
가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 #커스텀_에모지 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.
// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);
이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.
Bot.addCustomEmojis()로 봇에 커스텀 에모지 추가하기customEmoji() 함수로 메시지에 에모지 포함하기Emoji 객체를 text 태그 템플릿에서 사용하기소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.
// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기Bot.onReact와 Bot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 #인용 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.
// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
quoteTarget 옵션으로 메시지 인용하기Message.quoteTarget을 통해 인용된 메시지에 접근하기Bot.onQuote 이벤트 핸들러로 인용 이벤트 처리하기소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.
연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.
이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.
이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.
BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.
전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.
For complete docs and more examples, visit our docs site.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!

Mal ne Frage ans #fediverse
Zum Thema Hörbuch.
Bislang habe ich es gemieden, mir Dinge einzuverleiben, die sich Bücher nennen und nicht aus Papier sind.
Was ich nicht will,
Einen extra Reader.
An einen Anbieter gebunden sein.
Was ich möchte,
Querbeet Hörbucher von verschiedenen Anbietern und auch aus Bibliotheken lesen können.
Einen zentralen Speicherplatz, der auch offline oder im Flugmodus funktioniert.
Am besten kostenfreier Reader.
Habt ihr ein paar Tipps für mich.
Bin gespannt

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。
#BotKit 0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 #ActivityPub 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 #연합우주(#fediverse) 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.
이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.
BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.
가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 #커스텀_에모지 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.
// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);
이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.
Bot.addCustomEmojis()로 봇에 커스텀 에모지 추가하기customEmoji() 함수로 메시지에 에모지 포함하기Emoji 객체를 text 태그 템플릿에서 사용하기소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.
// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기Bot.onReact와 Bot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 #인용 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.
// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
quoteTarget 옵션으로 메시지 인용하기Message.quoteTarget을 통해 인용된 메시지에 접근하기Bot.onQuote 이벤트 핸들러로 인용 이벤트 처리하기소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.
연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.
이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.
이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.
BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.
전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.
피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました！BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース（#fediverse）のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。
このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。
BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。
最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。
// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);
この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。
Bot.addCustomEmojis()でボットにカスタム絵文字を追加customEmoji()関数でメッセージに絵文字を含めるEmojiオブジェクトをtextタグテンプレートで使用するコミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。
// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクションBot.onReactとBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。
// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます！`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。
quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセスBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。
フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。
これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。
これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか？BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKitはTemporal API（JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能）を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。
#BotKit 0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。
完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。
フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています！

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 #ActivityPub 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 #연합우주(#fediverse) 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.
이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.
BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.
가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 #커스텀_에모지 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.
// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);
이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.
Bot.addCustomEmojis()로 봇에 커스텀 에모지 추가하기customEmoji() 함수로 메시지에 에모지 포함하기Emoji 객체를 text 태그 템플릿에서 사용하기소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.
// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기Bot.onReact와 Bot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 #인용 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.
// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.
quoteTarget 옵션으로 메시지 인용하기Message.quoteTarget을 통해 인용된 메시지에 접근하기Bot.onQuote 이벤트 핸들러로 인용 이벤트 처리하기소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.
연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.
이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.
이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.
{
"imports": {
"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.
BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.
전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.
피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!
BotKit은 ActivityPub 서버 애플리케이션을 만들기 위한 하위 레벨 프레임워크인 Fedify의 지원을 받습니다.
@botkit@hollo.social
We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.
This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.
In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.
One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.
// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: {
file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`,
type: "image/png"
},
fedify: {
url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png",
type: "image/png"
}
});
// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);
With this new API, you can:
Bot.addCustomEmojis()customEmoji() functiontext tagged template with Fedify Emoji objectsCommunication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:
// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);
// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);
// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
This feature allows your bot to:
Message.react()Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlersDiscussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:
// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
{ quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);
// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
await session.publish(
text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
{ visibility: "direct" }
);
};
With quote support, your bot can:
quoteTarget optionMessage.quoteTargetBot.onQuote event handlerBecause communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:
We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:
These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.
Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0
Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

"@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
},
"unstable": ["temporal"]
}
With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.
BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

As someone who has developed several #ActivityPub software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the #fediverse is #custom_emoji.
The challenges are numerous:
First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.
Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.
Perhaps most concerning is the poor #accessibility. Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.
What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

Falls es jemand interessiert, sagt Bescheid. #Fediverse
PS:
Leider ist der Rest alles aus den USA gefördert.
Das ist dort, wo bei einigen Open Source Projekten Entwickler*innen „verschwinden“, und dort wo gerade die Förderung dichtgemacht wird.
Ich finde es schade, daß wir (15 Menschen) in Europa immer nur abgelehnt wurden.
Der Public Spaces Talk in 2024 war echt meine letzte Warnung vor Musk vor der Wahl:

Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.
Perhaps most concerning is the poor #accessibility. Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.
What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

@ben @thisismissem making it easier to spin up community moderation and management would be a great improvement for the #Fediverse too, but that’s a mostly separate/ non-technical issue. To that point I’m heartbroken that @iftas isn’t able to continue some of their efforts in that direction at this time

As someone who has developed several #ActivityPub software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the #fediverse is #custom_emoji.

just an idea
(not an original one):
the problem with #algorithms on #centralized #socialMedia is that they can be manipulated
on the #fediverse why not have a menu of #openSource algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?
people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their #algorithm stupor
if that's what they want
is there harm in that?
i'm not saying they *have* to do that

I’m watching the discussion that’s taking place today on this page, and people are saying that this platform was never made for long form content. It’s always been shorter form content. I legitimately do not understand the reasoning behind not allowing administrators to change the character limit without complicated configurations. I know this is supposed to be micro blogging, favoring shorter posts, because it’s continuously pointed out, to me, and others, that this platform is not a blog but it’s very clear to me that nobody really wants short post to be locked in for everybody. They just want the ability to change it. You can have your flagship instances that keep character limits at 500. That’s totally fine. You can even pretend like instances with 90,000 character limits simply don’t exist if you don’t want to acknowledge them, which, it seems like there is a extreme dislike of instances customizing things to meet the needs of their own communities. None of these rebukes are holding up and it frankly doesn’t make any sense whatsoever because if nothing was meant to change, the option for even increasing or even decreasing the character limit would not exist at all, even via code. Let the admins easily setup the character limits · Issue #12265 · mastodon/mastodon https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12265#issuecomment-2815833860 #Fediverse #Mastodon

Ever since I was a teen and started to use/think critically about #technology , I've been a fan of Cory Doctorow. One of my favourites back in the day was Pirate Cinema, and it instilled in me a kind of ethos that is brought to light in this new book. That is to say, I read this as a kind of manifesto.
And since you're all here on the #fediverse , I'd bet you gain something from reading this.

The other day I finally got it. Why #Bluesky is so popular with "regular people" (aka non-techies). It's because it's CENTRALIZED (of course the Bluesky folks would never admit it out right).
One name: Bluesky.

In this post-literate society where people have been trained by commercial social media for 2 DECADES to choose the easiest, most frictionless option, of course they will pick Bluesky over the #Fediverse.
Try introducing the concept of servers / instances and names like Mastodon, Sharkey, Pleroma, GoToSocial, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy to people not familiar with them. They'd think you're speaking a foreign language.
The Fediverse is made up of thousands of independent servers. You can't log in to https://joinmastodon.org or https://joinpeertube.org to browse Mastodon or PeerTube. Conversely, when you log into Bluesky you see messages by Bluesky members.
People need to be educated first about defederated options and their numerous advantages.
I get it now. I'm still 1000% in when it comes to the Fediverse but I understand.
And I'm tired.
And I'm posting this here on my GoToSocial account because I wanted to say my piece in one go and I would have run into Mastodon character limits.
How many people have I convinced to join the Fediverse in my 9 months advocating for it through a blog? TWO. How many people are still active on it? One.
Off I go play with LEGOs with my little one - in 12 years, when she's old enough I will set up her own instance. So Fediverse, you gotta be thriving in 2037.

Some questions for all the #GoToSocial users out there.
How many gigabytes of disk space (roughly) does your instance use?
How long has it been online?
And does the growth in storage slow down after the first seven days (on the default configuration), when cached images start clearing out?

I recommended #mastodon to a friend. But this time in stand of joinmastodon.org I gave him https://fedi.garden why ? Because if I give him joinmastodon.org I'm sure he will end up on mastodon.social
I started with this server but I shifted from it.
Thanks to @FediGarden for this amazing list.

#BookRec ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Internet Con by @pluralistic
Ever since I was a teen and started to use/think critically about #technology , I've been a fan of Cory Doctorow. One of my favourites back in the day was Pirate Cinema, and it instilled in me a kind of ethos that is brought to light in this new book. That is to say, I read this as a kind of manifesto.
And since you're all here on the #fediverse , I'd bet you gain something from reading this.
@BobDendry@masto.fediverse.games
Another cool ActivityPub project I came across today - BadgeFed.
From the point of view of your regular Fediverse instance - I could foresee this being used to recognise members for financial contributions, being moderators, Creating x number of Peertube videos, y posts on Mastodon, winning community contests, stuff like that. Really cool and I will definitely look into this further a bit further down the line.

The other day I finally got it. Why #Bluesky is so popular with "regular people" (aka non-techies). It's because it's CENTRALIZED (of course the Bluesky folks would never admit it out right).

Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!
Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.
Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind. Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: https://dus.webinar-welt.de/rooms/il6-zlx-6xj-cs5/join
Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - IS SHUTTING DOWN SOON ⚠️⚠️⚠️
As has already been stated in announcements, this will happen in a couple of months.
Because of this, I've noticed more than once that everyone is creating threads like "where do we go now."
Since I have a pretty decent outreach, I propose creating the ultimate "where do we go now" thread.
In it, I suggest:
👉 Discussing what to do next and why there's no need to panic
👉 Where you can register a new account
👉 How you can "migrate" to a new account
👉 Discussing hosting your own personal server
👉 If possible, bringing up any questions not yet addressed in this thread that may be bothering you
#️⃣ I also suggest using the hashtag #LorshMigration for anyone who wants to talk about this now or find each other after the server shuts down, in case something goes wrong. I'm already following it and posting under it with my thoughts on the move or sharing useful info.
📔 If you'd like, you can participate in a subthread for a "census" of people who've moved, stating where you moved from and where to.
ℹ️ Please remember that this thread is not communication with support staff, but just a chat with people who decided to help out on their own initiative.
🫡 Thanks to all the users. I wish you all a cozy new home.
⚠️⚠️⚠️
DON’T FORGET that Mastodon has a migration feature, and you can take all your followers with you. You don’t need to start from scratch and lose your connections! To learn more – keep reading the thread!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Как уже было написано в объявлениях, это произойдёт через пару-тройку месяцев.
В связи с этим я уже не первый раз вижу то как все создают треды "куда бежать".
Так как у меня достаточно неплохой "outreach", предлагаю сделать ультимативный тред "куда бежать".
В нём предлагаю:
👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать
👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт
👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт
👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера
👉 По возможности обсудить не поднятые в этом треде вопросы, которые вас волнуют
#️⃣ Также предлагаю хэштег #LorshMigration для тех, кто хочет сейчас что-то обсудить по теме или после закрытия сервера найти друг друга если что-то пошло не так. Я уже подписан на него и сам пишу под ним посты о своих впечатлениях о переезде или делюсь информацией по теме.
📔 Если есть желание можете поучаствовать в субтреде переписи переехавших указав откуда и куда вы переехали.
ℹ️ Пожалуйста, помните, что этот тред - это не общение со службой поддержки, а просто переписка с людьми, которые по своей инициативе решили вам помочь.
🫡 Всем пользователям lor.sh - спасибо. Желаю вам найти себе уютное новое пристанище.
⚠️⚠️⚠️
НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ, что в Mastodon есть функция миграции и вы можете унести всех подписчиков с собой. Начинать жизнь на новом сервере с нуля и терять связи - не нужно! Чтобы узнать подробнее - читайте тред дальше!

Dear selfhosting enthusiasts running their own GoToSocial instance, I've got a question about web-based UIs:
I am running my own instance with my solitary account (this one) as only user, and I would like to set up my web UI to have a four-column layout:
So far, only #phanpy seems to be able to do this. I personally prefer the more classic layout and style of masto-fe, but there's no way to show the federated timeline from another instance, is there? It will filter for posts from accounts I follow on the other instance instead of showing its public timeline.

I added a custom search builder (above the table at the left) that gives powerful options to filter the whole database.
There are now also the first bridged media accounts from #Bluesky und accounts from other software in the #Fediverse (like from @index): Search by Software.
Next is styling the page a bit 😅

By the way, how do instance admins handle take down notices?
Say you receive a legal request to take some content down because it's illegal in country X, how does that work?

Good morning, friends of BSD Cafe and the entire Fediverse!
It's Wednesday, the day of the sea. Let's start the day with a photo of me taking a photo of the sea. 🙂

Noch auf der Suche nach #News und offiziellen Accounts von Medien hier auf #Mastodon und im #Fediverse?
Meine immer aktuelle Tabelle enthält jetzt nicht nur Accounts auf Mastodon und anderen Fediverse-Diensten, sondern auch welche auf #Flipboard, #Threads und #Bluesky – allesamt von hier abrufbar.
Insgesamt sind es jetzt 942.

@Dallin@vivaldi.net
Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.
I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.
I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.
I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.
I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.
Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.
I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.
I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.
Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.

Fediverse Report – #112
This week is a bit of a shorter Report, it’s a relatively quieter news week and some other work is taking up most of my attention this week. Still, there is a PeerTube roadmap for 2025, some more updates on how FediForum is moving forward and more.
Framasoft has published their PeerTube roadmap for 2025. Last year, PeerTube’s big focus was on the consumer, with the launch of the PeerTube apps. This year, PeerTube’s improvement is on instance administrators. The organisation will work on building a set-wizard, making it easier for new instance admins to get started and configure the platform. Framasoft will also work on further customisation for instances, allowing admins to further tune how the instance looks for the end-users. There is also a lot of work being done on video channels, with the new features being the ability to transfer ownership of a channel, as well as having channels that are owned by multiple accounts. Framasoft also mentions they are working on shared lists of blocked accounts and instances, where admins can share information with other admins on which instances to block. And now that PeerTube is available on Android and iOS, other new platforms that PeerTube will come to is tablets and Android TVs.
The planned FediForum for early April was cancelled at the last minute. A group of attendees held the Townhall event that was held in its place to discuss how to move forward, and listen to people’s perspectives. The notes of the FediForum Townhall have now been published. Last week, the FediForum account posted: “Planned next steps: another townhall likely next week, and a rescheduled & adapted FediForum in May.” The organisers posted a survey for attendees on how to move forward as well. Jon Pincus has an extensive article, “On FediForum (and not just FediForum)” that places the entire situation of why FediForum was cancelled, in its larger context.
PieFed now allows people to limit who can DM them. By default only people on the same instance can receive DMs from each other. The Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin network has seen a rise on spam DMs which send gore images, and this is a helpful way of dealing with this harassment.
IFTAS wrote about how they are continuing their mission. The organisation recently had to wind down most of their high-profile projects due to a lack of funding. This is not the end of the entire organisation however, as IFTAS will continue with their Moderator Needs Assessment, the CARIAD domain observatory, which provides insight in the most commonly blocked domains and more, as well as the IFTAS Connect community for fediverse moderators.
A master’s thesis on the fediverse, which looks at the user activity and governance structures, with the main finding: “The findings reveal that instance size and active engagement—such as frequent posting and interacting with others—are the strongest predictors of user activity, while technical infrastructure plays a more supportive role rather than a determining one. Governance structures, such as moderation practices and community guidelines, show a weaker but positive correlation with user activity.”
Sean Tilley from WeDistribute writes how his work on ‘Integrating a News Publication Into the Fediverse’. Tilley has over a decade of experimentation on building journalistic outlets on fediverse platforms, and in this article he reflects on all the different case studies he has done over the years, and where WeDistribute is headed next.
Building a blog website on Lemmy. This personal website uses Lemmy as a backend for a personal blogging site, where the site is effectively a Lemmy client that looks like a blogging site.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).
Here is what the GreatApe login screen looks like on a mobile-phone web-browser.
With GreatApe you do NOT have to create a separate GreatApe account.
With GreatApe you use your existing account on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube to login.
(We plan to support more Fediverse and DeSo logins later.)

I hate to tell Zuck this but if FB has changed so that it is “no longer primarily about connecting with friends” it’s because the algorithms FB has implemented no longer allow for it. People still want to connect & engage with friends & family, as well as make new connections. The difficulty in doing finding & connecting with friends across multiple instances is one of the greatest hurdles Mastodon & the #Fediverse faces/needs to overcome. Discovery is easier on 🦋 but the plethora of feeds can make that platform challenging for newcomers seeking a streamlined experience & space for longer content. No platform will ever be perfect for everyone, but we seriously need to stop throwing up constant roadblocks to use https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44807557/mark-zuckerberg-proposed-wiping-all-friends-connections-and-make-users-start-again-to-keep-facebook-culturally-re #Facebook #Mastodon #Bluesky #Meta #socialmedia

Like many, we believe that communities are the future of social media. We're so glad to see our topical feeds helping people find posts on the topics they're interested here on the Fediverse.
We're working on ways to help you build communities of your choice next. Keep an eye out 👀

If you tap the "Login With Mastodon" button, you will be taken to a screen that looks something like this.
A few popular Mastodon servers are already listed.
But, if your Mastodon server is not on that list, you can also choose it, by telling GreatApe the URL to your Mastodon server.

Here is the login screen.
You don't have to create a separate GreatApe account. Instead, you use your existing Fediverse account.
Right now, you can log into GreatApe using your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.
(We plan to add support for logging in with other Fediverse and DeSo software, too.)

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu #Threads, und ziehen jetzt wegen #Zuckerberg weiter zu #Bluesky. Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.
Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?
Und tut es wirklich so weh, einfach mal auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte (#fediverse) zu stehen? 🤷🏻♂️

Another cool ActivityPub project I came across today - BadgeFed.
From the point of view of your regular Fediverse instance - I could foresee this being used to recognise members for financial contributions, being moderators, Creating x number of Peertube videos, y posts on Mastodon, winning community contests, stuff like that. Really cool and I will definitely look into this further a bit further down the line.

On FediForum (and not just FediForum)
This article discusses ways FediForum and others can make progress and take advantage of these opportunities.
The overall framework I'm using is the "Four A's" (acknowledgment, apology, amends, action), which I first saw in Teh Portly Dyke's 2007 post How to Fuck Up. As well as applying the Four As to three specific items mentioned under "Issues of representation and inclusion" in the FediForum draft summary notes, I relate this to broader challenges – and potential learning – in the broader ecosystems. In an appendix, I also discuss challenges – and potential learning – in the broader ecosystems. See the attached table of contents.
It's very challenging to write about intersecting oppressions without stepping into any minefields, and it can also be hard to write about institutional problems without unintentionally making it seem like I'm criticizing individuals. So apologies in advance for any mistakes I've made, feedback welcome!

私がなぜActivityPubサーバーフレームワークのFedifyと、シングルユーザー向けActivityPubサーバーのHolloを開発する事に成ったのか、その旅路を共有しました。
実は全ての始まりは、韓国語の「国漢文混用体」（漢字ハングル混じり文）に「振りハングル」を付けたいという単純な願いからでした。この小さな目標が、最終的にFedifyとHolloという二つのプロジェクトへと発展したのです。

I'm obsessed with a futuristic techno utopia, where direct democracy flourishes and thousands of people share presidential power, with every citizen being a parliamentarian. It's a #fediverse kind of country. Here is my newest short story set in such a world.
https://lolwe.org/the-grey-girl/
My next feature film has this theme; a young woman invents direct democracy technology but faces off with a dictator who uses gene-editing to hold on to power.

However, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we have something very non-ideal happening with it.
It seems as if you have to ask for the PeerTube password. I don't want to do that. But — and again, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we don't see an alternative way to do that.
I wonder if PeerTube intends to add OAuth support later.

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).
I previously mentioned that — you don't have to create an account on GreatApe. That instead you can use your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.
The login with Mastodon, and login with Pixelfed flow are very smooth. And, GreatApe never sees you password.
However, —

In any case, my proposal is May 18th since it was on this day in 2008 when Evan, the father of the Fediverse, sent the first message.

I wanted a nice graph to show just how decentralized the Fediverse is, so I built this one from latest data at instances.social. It's actually a lot more decentralized than last time I looked (in 2022); the top 30 instances now house 85% of the users. In 2022 it was about 95% of users on the top 5 instances. #fediverse #data

Fediverse Report – #111
A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.
The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”
Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.
A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.
In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.
Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:
The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:
Ahoy! is a one-day conference for the European Social Web, and will be held on April 24th 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. The conference is mainly focused on Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and has some super fascinating speakers of people who are in the forefront of building new communities on the open social web. If you’re around I can definitely recommend it. I’ll be doing some interviews with people there, so if you are considering joining, let me know and we can say hi!

#introduction It was on my todo list for a long time and now I'm #newhere - writing in En and De, darum auch #neuhier
Interested in #Switzerland #swisspolitics #education #foss #digitalsustainability #gardening #SchweizerPolitik #Bildung #DigitaleNachhaltigkeit #gärtnern #AI #generativeAI #fediverse
I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.
Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)
@id@fedi.4x31.dev
Now that I've set up a #selfhosting GoToSocial instance, let's start with an #introduction to the lovely #fediverse!
Thinking. Sketching. Writing. Crafting. Philosophy. Mental Models. Curiosity. Language. Variety.
My name is Axel Knauf, and I am an IT professional specialising in software development & architecture, service design with a focus on digital products & services, consulting and technical leadership. I’ve been working in the industry since 2005 and am usually staffed as tech lead and delivery principal on interdisciplinary software development teams.
Having started out as a tech-focused developer, I now love working with people, esp. as a facilitator in workshop / group settings.
There are so many topics I am interested in (see list above, it doesn't stop there), mostly driven by the desire to understand the world and people in a better way: From quantum field theory, through physics, chemistry, biology, anatomy & physiology up to its effects on the psyche, cognition and individual psychology and then further to group dynamics, social psychology, sociology and finally systems-thinking bringing it all together.
Oh, and did I mention astronomy? And art? And FLOSS? Linux? Hand-crafting? And heavy metal (music, not chemistry)? And artificial languages? And video games? And gardening? And fermentation? Baking sourdough bread? ..
As dire as times seem to be, this world is a splendid place to live in. And I am a radical optimist who believes in a bright future for mankind. Yes, this may be a little bit delusional nowadays. But if you zoom out and look at humanity's trajectory, you will see that just 150 years ago the average life would end after ~40 years, and 50% of children would die before the age of five.
There will be setbacks, there will be disruption and suffering. But there is also a silver lining and a bright future ahead of us (and I am not talking about AI). Let's build it together!

Tomorrow (Sunday, the 13th of April) will make two weeks since I moved into my new solo GoToSocial instance.
I'm really quite happy with it. It's fast, stable, and has worked without a hiccup other than that one incident where my disk allotment filled up and I didn't realize what was happening 😊
There are several nice webapps that work with it on my Linux powered PC, and at least three good iOS apps that work very well indeed. Ivory, FediText and Tusker seem to be the cream of the crop, IMO.
I'm going to advocate for small instances in the 'verse, where possible. It just seems to me that this will make everything much more resilient for the long-haul, even if more challenging from a technical perspective.
GTS actively helps those small instances come to life, and that's a good thing!

I have been thinking that — having a regular DEMO DAY for Fediverse developers might be desirable.
Maybe something once a month, where Fediverse developers get together (online), and —
• show what they have been working on,
• talk about Fediverse development issues,
• etc
Not a conference. Just something quick.
(It could be under existing "banner" that already exists. Doesn't necessarily have to be something new.)

have a hard time trusting ppl, especially Black folks that want us to live in these digital silos. After the Civil Rights era digital activism has been one of the primary ways to hold ppl accountable. #metoo #blm & many others wouldn’t have had the impact if it was gated behind #fediverse instances. I get that there’s a lot of white people here so it’s not really a thought, it’s easier to just block out and isolate and pretend the bad stuff isn’t there. Black and Brown folks don’t typically have that luxury & it’s not usually just the threat of mean words but fairly often the threat of physical harm

Decentralized Social-Media, such as the Fediverse, not only takes advantage of network-effects, but also has a solution to the cold-start problem.
This is similar to what historically happened with the IBM PC and the PC Clones.

Okay, a question for #GoToSocial users:
I've noticed that my profile page on the web shows the first post in threads I've started, but not any replies or boosted posts: https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj (open the link in your web browser)
I've looked through all the settings, and there doesn't appear to be one change that.
Am I missing something?
Is there a way to get replies or boosts to appear there too?
Or is that just the way GtS works?

@dansup@mastodon.social
I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉
About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.
I don't think Bluesky, Pixelfed or Lemmy would exist without Mastodon. Their project gave us a blueprint for what's possible.
Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

@feb Ein fundierter Rant, aber halt immer noch ein Rant. Alle aufgeführten Schwächen sind korrekt, nur: Warum macht man sich die Mühe mit so einer detaillierten Analyse, um sie dann hier im #Fediverse zu posten? Wo man ja „keine Reichweite hat“ und „nicht gelesen werden kann“? Ich liebe das Fediverse, auch für seine Schwächen. Alles schon erlebt (Verlust aller Tröts nach Umzug, abgeschaltete Instanzen, unscharfe Moderation, kaputte Föderation) und sage trotzdem: Hier bleibe ich. 🤓

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net
I have just finished uploading my old (like mostly 8 years old) vlogs to https://makertube.net/c/wildevlog/videos in case you want to see me making a fool of myself :) I had them on YouTube for many years, deleted my channels there a while ago and just found the backup drive with all the raw material and final renderings. So now they are part of the #fediverse. Feels good :) Thank you @_elena for the tip with makertube!
@mapache@hachyderm.io
UPDATE: A blog (that is federated) was created for communicate the progress, follow @badgefed
--
I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse
I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.
ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.
I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: https://github.com/tryvocalcat/activitypub-badges
Who wants a badge of early adopter?

Is ANYONE working on .lottie / .tgs (Telegram Stickers) support in/for #fediverse apps?

Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) seem to also be prone to their storage drives filling with:
• logs
• npm cache
• yarn cache

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114019537398771505
The number one cause of Fediverse servers crashing seems to be the storage drives filling up with cached Fediverse user data — posts, profiles, avatar images, header images, etc.
But, Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) also have an additional challenge that fills up their storage drives —

A nice side-effect of using a Fediverse caching server is — for some Fediverse software, it would enable the Fediverse software to run on a less expensive computer.
(For example, compressing and shrinking images can make the computer needs higher. If that is delegated to a caching server, etc, then the Fediverse server doesn't incur that higher computer needs. Which makes hosting less expensive.)

I think a good strategy to broadly address this is — for Fediverse software to have a concept of caching-servers they could delegate to, to do the caching for them.
These caching servers could even be shared.
...
I have been working on such a Fediverse caching server.
But the various Fediverse software out there would need to be modified to use it.

I can tell you from experience of hosting many people's Fediverse server instances for a number of years now that —
Many Fediverse software (at least currently) do a poor job of cleaning-up their various caches
Caching other people's profiles, images, posts, etc
And, this often ends up filling up the storage drive
And as a result, this is a very common thing that causes down-time for people. Probably the most common

FunkWhale, a federated music platform, will soon release a new 2.0 alpha. V1.0 instances will not be compatible to the 2.0 instances,
@ajsadauskas@vivaldi.net
Okay, help me decide: Self-hosted Mastodon or GoToSocial? What's the pros and cons of each?
Recently, I set up a VPS running YunoHost.
I've been meaning to set up a personal single-user Fedi instance on it, but life's gotten in the way a bit.
I strongly considered Friendica, but it's not there in terms of UX.
So I've narrowed it down to GtS or Masto.
My understanding is that GtS is far more lightweight, but misses some key features. Masto is more resource hungry.
Will I need a relay server for a single-user instance?
Any other key things I should be aware of before diving in?

Fediverse Report – #111
A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.
The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”
Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.
A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.
In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.
Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:
The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:
Ahoy! is a one-day conference for the European Social Web, and will be held on April 24th 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. The conference is mainly focused on Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and has some super fascinating speakers of people who are in the forefront of building new communities on the open social web. If you’re around I can definitely recommend it. I’ll be doing some interviews with people there, so if you are considering joining, let me know and we can say hi!

Some idle #fedi questions just out of curiosity, none of them really connected
1) Why does #Phanpy load everything faster than when I log in through my instance?
2) I made a #PixelFed account for @rainbowrodeomag. I use the same social media scheduler for my Mastodon account. Same posts. Same content. Same images. But the Pixey account has more interactions. What's up with that?
3) I set up a federated account using Ghost's beta (index[at]rainbowrodemag[dot]com) but I can't find it when I search?
I've already got separate Mastodon and Threads accounts so I'm not planning to rely on this...it seems like it's really Ghost's attempts to create an ecosystem similar to Substack's app without actually building an app (which imo is really smart)
Thanks for your time!

I don't think Bluesky, Pixelfed or Lemmy would exist without Mastodon. Their project gave us a blueprint for what's possible.

I believe this is possible and can be built over the ActivityPub protocol, based on what we've learned from the library of things, makerspaces, commons, permaculture, alternative currencies, and so many other amazing concepts and their incredible success stories...
I am currently drafting this project.
Let me know if it makes any sense to you...

Imagine a federated network of physical spaces where people can exchange knowledge, skills, tools, and dreams...
Imagine gathering spaces designed to foster local communities, local projects, and new innovative economic arrangements...
Imagine spaces for care, protection, and engagement with our neighbors as a citizen fellowship...
Imagine, as a result, a workforce of talented people dedicated to transforming their local realities...

My FOMO levels are super high right now 🤯
I have always wanted to attend the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, and I am discovering only now that many Fedi people are going there to promote the #Fediverse!
In my country!
At a non-tech event!
Definitely my scene. Definitely where Fediverse conversations should be happening!!!
Also, I presented in the astounding main room for another event three years ago, and I talked about the Fediverse, too! It wasn’t recorded 🫤
Aaaargh I wish I was there so badly.
Please @andypiper @ben @ share this earlier next time, so that I can make plans! I should have listened to @melaniebartos when she got in my mind the idea to go.
This is also a lesson for me because I should have proposed to @valigiablu to host a workshop before the CfP closed.
Now I am missing my friends in Umbria too 😢

I believe this is possible and can be built over the ActivityPub protocol, based on what we've learned from the library of things, makerspaces, commons, permaculture, alternative currencies, and so many other amazing concepts and their incredible success stories...
I am currently drafting this project.
Let me know if it makes any sense to you...
@rzylber@mastodon.social
Imagine a federated network of physical spaces where people can exchange knowledge, skills, tools, and dreams...
Imagine gathering spaces designed to foster local communities, local projects, and new innovative economic arrangements...
Imagine spaces for care, protection, and engagement with our neighbors as a citizen fellowship...
Imagine, as a result, a workforce of talented people dedicated to transforming their local realities...

Fediverse, can you help? I'm growing weary of constantly fighting this fight in my campaign groups and seeking other effective articles and resources to tackle antifascists' justifications for remaining on Twitter and such because "we must go where people are." You can call it a Nazi bar, but their counter is "a bunch of us are still on there and we aren't Nazis." Sigh. Thanks in advance! #AskMastodon #AskFedi #Fediverse #FediPact #FuckElon #FuckZuckerberg @fedizine
@jon@vivaldi.net
When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.

Very exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:

Fediverse Report – #111
A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.
The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”
Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.
A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.
In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.
The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.
Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:
The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:
Ahoy! is a one-day conference for the European Social Web, and will be held on April 24th 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. The conference is mainly focused on Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and has some super fascinating speakers of people who are in the forefront of building new communities on the open social web. If you’re around I can definitely recommend it. I’ll be doing some interviews with people there, so if you are considering joining, let me know and we can say hi!

@rachelcholst@linernotes.club
Some idle #fedi questions just out of curiosity, none of them really connected
1) Why does #Phanpy load everything faster than when I log in through my instance?
2) I made a #PixelFed account for @rainbowrodeomag. I use the same social media scheduler for my Mastodon account. Same posts. Same content. Same images. But the Pixey account has more interactions. What's up with that?
3) I set up a federated account using Ghost's beta (index[at]rainbowrodemag[dot]com) but I can't find it when I search?
I've already got separate Mastodon and Threads accounts so I'm not planning to rely on this...it seems like it's really Ghost's attempts to create an ecosystem similar to Substack's app without actually building an app (which imo is really smart)
Thanks for your time!

Feels like a #Fediverse rite of passage
@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social
I think the same problem with representation among #Wikipedia entries is pervasive among #FOSS projects as well - including the #Fediverse :
Contributions are done by those who have sufficient free time to work on such projects, which usually means having a stable, comfortable existence. Thus, the majority of contrirbutors tend to be white men - and they bring their own biases with them.
This is a problem - while the concept of the Fediverse is great, our user base is not very diverse. #Twitter in the old days blew the Fediverse out if the water, in this regard at least.
We need to include a lot more different people for the development of the Fediverse, from all over the world, instread of the crowd if largely white Europeans and North Americans we have now. Yet how can we include them, if the expectation is that the contributors should work for free - something much harder to do if you _don't_ have a stable source of income and a job that gives you sufficient free time?

@servo wow such a shitstorm, so much agressivity, insults, threatening when they ask openly and transparently the opinion of the community. You could just say "no" with reasoning in a respectful way. Imagine the person taking that in the face. That's really sad.

I'm obsessed with a futuristic techno utopia, where direct democracy flourishes and thousands of people share presidential power, with every citizen being a parliamentarian. It's a #fediverse kind of country. Here is my newest short story set in such a world.

Fediverse isn't run by multi-billion dollar companies, and in a lot of cases, is simply run by kind folks who just want to have a nice social media platform.
Therefore, there's a high chance that the server costs come out of their pockets.
Support your admins. They help Fedi go round.🫶

An excerpt:
"The fediverse is small, and that's both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like."

#Threads とか #BlueSky を見てると、そこのユーザーにとっては #Fediverse への連携とか、標準技術での #OpenSocialWeb とか全然興味の範疇じゃないんだろうな…という気がしてる
#BlueSky はまだ、分散型の可能性のひとつとして登場している（実質分散してないけど）ところがあるから知識としては知ってるけど「フェディバース？いや流行らないでしょ」みたいな空気を感じるんだよな…
（流行る流行らないという発想を前にもってきてソーシャルメディアを考える事自体が自分はあまりよくない気がしていて、そういう意味では #BlueSky よりもむしろ #mixi2 とかのほうが好意的に見える時がある。 mixi2 はぜんぜんオープンではないんだけど、なんでだろう。流行ってないからかなw

I did some changes to my almost static #activitypub enabled blog, which enables @blog and @badgefed so now it can show the real number of followers.
I have only updated the #badgefed one. I am planning to migrate @vocalcat to such format because having a bot account does not make sense for the #fediverse. I rather post real uodates.
I will edit my series in the following days.

After a little bit of reading up on the docs I've now set up my personal #fediverse instance using #GoToSocial - smooth sailing so far, esp. with the provided compose file for use with podman:
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/getting_started/installation/
I am using a #Caddy reverse proxy in front for SSL termination, since it does all the LetsEncrypt ACME stuff out of the box and the virtual host config is literally three lines long:
https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns#reverse-proxy
This also includes WebSockets without additional parameters, so live updates from clients will work nicely.
Speaking of clients, I now settled with panphy.social. A modern web-based UI, highly configurable, and the #vim-like key bindings are lovely <3

私がなぜActivityPubサーバーフレームワークのFedifyと、シングルユーザー向けActivityPubサーバーのHolloを開発する事に成ったのか、その旅路を共有しました。
実は全ての始まりは、韓国語の「国漢文混用体」（漢字ハングル混じり文）に「振りハングル」を付けたいという単純な願いからでした。この小さな目標が、最終的にFedifyとHolloという二つのプロジェクトへと発展したのです。

Ich weiß, lange Texte sind im Fediverse nicht bei allen beliebt. Manche betonen immer wieder, das sei doch kein „Microblogging“ mehr. Aber mal ehrlich: Seit wann ist das Fediverse eine reine Microblogging-Plattform?
Ich kenne nicht alle Zugangssoftwares, aber soweit ich weiß, unterstützen zum Beispiel #Sharkey, #Misskey, #Catodon, #Iceshrimp und auch #Friendica lange Texte ganz wunderbar. Auch meine eigene #Mastodon-Instanz habe ich ordentlich aufgebohrt – mit ein paar tausend Zeichen, weil Mastodon ja leider immer noch an seinem 500-Zeichen-Limit festhält.
Und bitte versteht mich nicht falsch: Das ist kein Bashing gegen Mastodon! Es geht mir eher darum, den Blick dafür zu öffnen, dass das Fediverse viel mehr ist als nur ein Ort für Kurztexte. Es ist vielfältig, offen – ein Raum für alle möglichen Ausdrucksformen. Und dazu gehören eben auch längere Gedanken.
Neulich habe ich sogar gelesen, dass jemand alle Accounts blocken will, die lange Texte posten. Das hat mich echt irritiert. Warum diese Abwehr gegen Tiefe und Details? Ich persönlich liebe längere Texte – beim Schreiben ebenso wie beim Lesen. Sie geben mir die Möglichkeit, wirklich in Themen einzutauchen, mich auszudrücken, zu erzählen.
Das #Fediverse lebt doch gerade von dieser Vielfalt, oder? Lasst uns das feiern – in 500 Zeichen oder in 5.000. 💛

本日、第8回FediLUG勉強会で「国漢文混用体からHolloまで」というタイトルで発表をしてきました。
私がなぜActivityPubサーバーフレームワークのFedifyと、シングルユーザー向けActivityPubサーバーのHolloを開発する事に成ったのか、その旅路を共有しました。

It seems that in Germany, #Fediverse related matters are being covered by the news media. In Japan, brand thinking is still very strong, and it is difficult to reach that level.

I've just added Stripe integration to #PieFed so now every instance can collect their own donations.
Are there any other #fediverse platforms with integrated donation functionality?

If I could wave a magic wand and alter the fediverse to give you something you want from it, but can't yet get, what would it be?

⁂ New symbol version!
It is a crazy coincidence that a new Fediverse symbol proposal was advanced exactly one week after I published the first version of the Anti-Fascist Fediverse sticker with the “old” logo on it! No problem, if not that I just printed a thousand 5x5cm version 1 stickers… 🤯
Despite the terrible timing for the stickers printing, I am very happy about this new symbol proposal, I love it! 😍
Even though I am currently boarding a flight to Tallinn, where I will be moving for 5 months (😱). I quickly created with great pleasure a second version with the asterism symbol! 🚀

#Pixelfed and other #Fediverse platforms like #Mastodon were just mentioned on German television (ZDF) 🎉:
Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?
How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

This was originally going to be a #FediForum session ... oh well. But why let the FediForum organizers' screwups sabotage a worthwhile conversation? We decided to go ahead with the discussion anyhow. Here's the notes.
Feedback welcome! There are some specific questions in the reply, or here's a CryptPad form if you'd rather give feedback anonymously, but I'm also interested in reactions to topics we discussed in the meeting -- and thoughts in general!

This is a program that I've been championing within @nivenly over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.
You might remember my Pixelfed vulnerability from last year, where OAuth scopes weren't checked allowing for privilege escalation via the API (CVE-2024-25108), that was our very first test-case of this program.
I'm incredibly proud to be involved in launching the Fediverse Security Fund from Nivenly Foundation (a 501(c)4 not-for-profit cooperative)

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

Hei kaikki! Ensimmäinen julkaisuni Mastodonissa! Uskaltauduin kokeilemaan PeerTubea makertube.netin kautta. Meidän ”kurkı" - musiikkiprojektin ensimmäinen video nyt myös Fediversessä! 😊 Se on vähän taiteellisempi ja viipyilevämpi joten kannattaa rauhassa kuunnella.
EDIT: makertube-linkin takaa löytyy lisätietoa kappaleesta jos kiinnostaa tarina kappaleen takana.

@hongminhee@hollo.social
Hello @MastodonEngineering,
I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.
Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />
Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />
Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.
Appreciate all you do for #Mastodon!

More notes on Organizing, Mutual Aid, and Activism on decentralized social networks
https://privacy.thenexus.today/more-notes-on-organizing/
This was originally going to be a #FediForum session ... oh well. But why let the FediForum organizers' screwups sabotage a worthwhile conversation? We decided to go ahead with the discussion anyhow. Here's the notes.
Feedback welcome! There are some specific questions in the reply, or here's a CryptPad form if you'd rather give feedback anonymously, but I'm also interested in reactions to topics we discussed in the meeting -- and thoughts in general!

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).
After you log into GreatApe (using your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, PeerTube, etc account) — you either schedule live conversation for some time in the future, or have the live conversation happen immediately.
(Most will probably schedule it for the future.)

This is a program that I've been championing within @nivenly over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.
You might remember my Pixelfed vulnerability from last year, where OAuth scopes weren't checked allowing for privilege escalation via the API (CVE-2024-25108), that was our very first test-case of this program.

hey, fediverse friends - i'm excited that we're finally announcing our Fediverse Security Fund over at @nivenly to help make fedi software more secure.
we're starting off super small to see if the Fund is a thing that can help. along the way we'll learn and improve our intake/payout process. and if there's solid interest and we see good impact, we'll hold a member vote near the end of the experiment to decide if we'll renew/expand the program.
thanks to @thisismissem for her contributions and being the first disclosure to validate the process.
let's close some vulns!

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Organizers Log:
An update about the Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon) on August 1st & Saturday August 2nd I have been organizing.
I have paid the deposit to reserve the room chosen for the conference.
I also signed the contract for it.
The next thing I need to deal with is — catering, audio & visual requirements, room set up.
These will be additional costs.
(There are more things to do after those. But, that is what is next.)
@mho@social.heise.de
I have now started two projects, to collect verified accounts by the media that are bridged via #BridgyFed and media in the #Fediverse but not on #Mastodon, @Threads or #Flipboard.
But with both, I need help: Please, if you know of accounts, that fit in both categories then send me a handle.
My goal is a big spreadsheet with alle accounts by media organizations in the #Fediverse, that you can filter by software or sort by "last active" & more.
Please share this post far & wide!

Fediverse Report – #110
A vulnerability in Pixelfed caused private posts from other platforms to leak, a post-mortem on the CSAM scanner from IFTAS, and Fediforum has been cancelled.
The fediverse suffered from a significant breach for private accounts, that affects the large majority of fediverse servers, due to a vulnerability in the Pixelfed software. What is notable about the situation is that the software vulnerability is in Pixelfed, but the affected accounts are not exclusive to Pixelfed: accounts on Mastodon and other fediverse software with a form of private accounts are also vulnerable. The vulnerability was found by the independent developer Fiona, who wrote a blog post about the vulnerability and the disclosure process.
To understand the situation, a short explanation of two features of Mastodon and some other fediverse microblogging software, locked accounts, and follower-only posts. Together these two features make it possible to have a form of private accounts. Locked accounts means that you cannot automatically follow that account, it has to be approved instead. Follower-only posts means that the post will only be displayed to your followers.
When a locked account approves a follower, follower-only posts now get send to the server that this follower is on. Because the receiving server now has this follower-only post in their database, they need to correctly handle whom they show this post to and whom they do not. If another account on the other server also tries to follow the locked account, but the locked account does not approve, this third account should not be able to see the messages. This is where Pixelfed’s vulnerability comes in: Pixelfed was not waiting for a confirmation if a follow request was approved, it assumed that it was automatically approved. That is how any private posts made on (almost) any fediverse server could be leaked: if a Pixelfed server already had the private post (because of someone of Pixelfed followed the locked account with approval), it would show it to anyone else who also tried to follow the locked account, even if the locked account rejected the follow request.
Pixelfed’s vulnerability points to deeper issues with the fediverse, activitypub and private posts. If all it takes to leak private messages is another server to be misconfigured, than it indicates the huge security risk inherent in private posts via ActivityPub. Even more so considering that the network incentivises and encourages people to build their own software implementations, which increases the risk of security vulnerability and other misconfigurations significantly. For simplicity I’ll focus here on Mastodon, although it also goes for other microblogging fediverse software that offers a combination of follower-only posts and locked accounts. At its core, private posts via ActivityPub requires to trust other servers. This is how ActivityPub works: your server sends posts to another server. There is no way to enforce that this other server respects your preference on how they should handle this post. If you do not trust another server to handle your data properly, the only way to deal with that is by not sending your post to that server.
When you make a follower-only post on Mastodon, the UI prompt warns you that followers-only posts without setting your account to locked allows anyone to view your posts by simply following you. The documentation for Mastodon also reinforces this, saying: “To effectively publish private (followers-only) posts, you must lock your account–otherwise, anyone could follow you to view older posts.” The documentation makes it clear that Mastodon views the combination of follower-only posts with a locked account as private posts. But nowhere is it made clear that these posts being private depends on other servers being good actors and not having an error in their code. So using private posts on Mastodon comes with the risk of the private posts being leaked due to flaws in other software, without people being aware of this risk.
Once a leak like this one happens, it is unclear who is responsible for communications with affected users. It was a flaw in Pixelfed that caused the vulnerability, but it is other people on other fediverse servers that are affected. Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault has only made minimal announcements, urging Pixelfed admins to upgrade, without further explanation to the people who are actually affected by the vulnerability. Personally I think Supernault should have handled communications significantly better. But it is the thousands of fediverse server admins who provide the actual social networking to people on their server. They are the ones who are offering a social networking site with a variety of features, including the ability to make private posts (as advertised by the Mastodon software), and are the ones who are responsible for handling the data of their users. I could only find one example of a server admin that has informed their users of the situation, even though it is the data of their users that is affected. I’m unclear if this is because the admins are not aware of what’s going on, or the admins view it as the responsibility of someone else to inform people that data they thought was private might potentially have been leaked.
Overall, it means that there actually three separate problems going on at the same time:
It is still unclear to what the direct impact is of the Pixelfed vulnerability, and how many people’s private post have been accessed by others, and it’s unsure if that will ever be answered. But it is the indirect impact of the situation that I’m most interested in: will this change how people perceive private posts, and will it fediverse server admins take a clear position on when they should inform their users, and when the should not?
IFTAS, the Independent Federated Trust And Safety organisation, has released a post mortem on their content classification system (CCS). The CCS project was a pilot project to detect and report CSAM for a small group of Mastodon servers, and lasted for half a year. The pilot was shut down after IFTAS did not manage to find the funding they were looking for, and the organisation had to shut down most of their projects this month.
CCS operated on 8 servers, which combined have around 30k monthly active users, and IFTAS found a total of 80 matches, averaging 4.29 matches per 100,000 media files. IFTAS writes:
“4.29 matches per 100,000 may not sound like a large number. However, to be clear, this is a higher number than many services would expect to see, and it includes a broad range of media, from “barely legal” minors posted publicly, to intimate imagery shared without consent, to the very, very worst media imaginable. In some cases, it was apparent that users were creating accounts on host services to transact or pre-sale media before moving to an encrypted platform, under the belief that Mastodon would not be able to detect the activity.”
The results show that there is a clear need for proper CSAM scanning and reporting services for the fediverse, and that IFTAS does not have the funding to provide such a service is a significant loss to the network.
On a note related to IFTAS’s funding: Erin Kissane gave a talk at the AT Protocol conference recently, in which she talked about ‘vernacular institutions’. She described vernacular institutions as emergent and local organisations, which solve practical needs on the ground. Kissane describes vernacular institutions as ‘more useful than legible’. She then mentions IFTAS as a clear example; it provides a need for local communities (as illustrated by the CCS project), but its illegibility made it hard for funding organisations to understand what IFTAS was doing and provide them with the funding they need.
Fediforum has been cancelled, to be rescheduled at a later date. The unconference about the fediverse and the open social web was scheduled for today and tomorrow, April 1-2. This was supposed to be the 5th edition of Fediforum, which consists of speed demos and sessions that anyone can run on any topic. Fediforum is organised by Johannes Erst, with Kaliya ‘IdentityWoman’ Young as the co-organiser. Transphobic tweets by Young had surfaced in the days leading up to the event, and various prominent community members announced that they were either withdrawing themselves from the event, or said that they personally would not want to go to the event. Ernst then announced on his personal account that Young would be “transitioning out of Fediforum”. A day later (March 31), the official Fediforum account confirmed that Young would no longer be involved. At this point, community trust in Ernst was damaged and the discourse had reached a harmful stage, and Ernst decided to cancel the unconference and reschedule it to a later date. WeDistribute has a more extensive writeup of the situation here.
An unconference like Fediforum depends to a large extent on community trust and good intentions, and it was clear that the vibe was not great for constructive conversation at the point that Ernst decided to postpone the event altogether. Still, Fediforum provided a great place for fediverse projects to do some promotion with the speed demos, and Fediforum said that they even had a waiting list for this edition. There is a clear demand for an (un)conference like Fediforum, but the fediverse has not managed to create other community events that allow people to showcase their fediverse project in the last few years, besides Fediforum itself.
At the time of publishing, Fediforum held a 90minute long townhall/roundtable discussion on the future of Fediforum and the broader issues. I’ll write more about this next week.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault has only made minimal announcements, urging Pixelfed admins to upgrade, without further explanation to the people who are actually affected by the vulnerability. Personally I think Supernault should have handled communications significantly better. But it is the thousands of fediverse server admins who provide the actual social networking to people on their server. They are the ones who are offering a social networking site with a variety of features, including the ability to make private posts (as advertised by the Mastodon software), and are the ones who are responsible for handling the data of their users. I could only find one example of a server admin that has informed their users of the situation, even though it is the data of their users that is affected. I’m unclear if this is because the admins are not aware of what’s going on, or the admins view it as the responsibility of someone else to inform people that data they thought was private might potentially have been leaked.
Overall, it means that there actually three separate problems going on at the same time:
It is still unclear to what the direct impact is of the Pixelfed vulnerability, and how many people’s private post have been accessed by others, and it’s unsure if that will ever be answered. But it is the indirect impact of the situation that I’m most interested in: will this change how people perceive private posts, and will it fediverse server admins take a clear position on when they should inform their users, and when the should not?
IFTAS, the Independent Federated Trust And Safety organisation, has released a post mortem on their content classification system (CCS). The CCS project was a pilot project to detect and report CSAM for a small group of Mastodon servers, and lasted for half a year. The pilot was shut down after IFTAS did not manage to find the funding they were looking for, and the organisation had to shut down most of their projects this month.
CCS operated on 8 servers, which combined have around 30k monthly active users, and IFTAS found a total of 80 matches, averaging 4.29 matches per 100,000 media files. IFTAS writes:
“4.29 matches per 100,000 may not sound like a large number. However, to be clear, this is a higher number than many services would expect to see, and it includes a broad range of media, from “barely legal” minors posted publicly, to intimate imagery shared without consent, to the very, very worst media imaginable. In some cases, it was apparent that users were creating accounts on host services to transact or pre-sale media before moving to an encrypted platform, under the belief that Mastodon would not be able to detect the activity.”
The results show that there is a clear need for proper CSAM scanning and reporting services for the fediverse, and that IFTAS does not have the funding to provide such a service is a significant loss to the network.
On a note related to IFTAS’s funding: Erin Kissane gave a talk at the AT Protocol conference recently, in which she talked about ‘vernacular institutions’. She described vernacular institutions as emergent and local organisations, which solve practical needs on the ground. Kissane describes vernacular institutions as ‘more useful than legible’. She then mentions IFTAS as a clear example; it provides a need for local communities (as illustrated by the CCS project), but its illegibility made it hard for funding organisations to understand what IFTAS was doing and provide them with the funding they need.
Fediforum has been cancelled, to be rescheduled at a later date. The unconference about the fediverse and the open social web was scheduled for today and tomorrow, April 1-2. This was supposed to be the 5th edition of Fediforum, which consists of speed demos and sessions that anyone can run on any topic. Fediforum is organised by Johannes Erst, with Kaliya ‘IdentityWoman’ Young as the co-organiser. Transphobic tweets by Young had surfaced in the days leading up to the event, and various prominent community members announced that they were either withdrawing themselves from the event, or said that they personally would not want to go to the event. Ernst then announced on his personal account that Young would be “transitioning out of Fediforum”. A day later (March 31), the official Fediforum account confirmed that Young would no longer be involved. At this point, community trust in Ernst was damaged and the discourse had reached a harmful stage, and Ernst decided to cancel the unconference and reschedule it to a later date. WeDistribute has a more extensive writeup of the situation here.
An unconference like Fediforum depends to a large extent on community trust and good intentions, and it was clear that the vibe was not great for constructive conversation at the point that Ernst decided to postpone the event altogether. Still, Fediforum provided a great place for fediverse projects to do some promotion with the speed demos, and Fediforum said that they even had a waiting list for this edition. There is a clear demand for an (un)conference like Fediforum, but the fediverse has not managed to create other community events that allow people to showcase their fediverse project in the last few years, besides Fediforum itself.
At the time of publishing, Fediforum held a 90minute long townhall/roundtable discussion on the future of Fediforum and the broader issues. I’ll write more about this next week.

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.
When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.
I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

Update after April 2.
I was able to determine that, at least, my social security is still intact! But still no deposit as of yet, but the good news is thanks to the #Fediverse I was able to cover April's rent and deposit will resume in May! I am 99% sure I was the casualty of some rapid database breaking somewhere. I probably won't update this post again, but if you do have social security, the best thing I can tell you is to prepare for what happened to me, to happen to you as well.
This means downloading all previous records and statements while you still can. No telling if it will help you, as a *LOT* of people in my country really really want social security to be privatize and this means purging just because they need to be so called efficient. People in my country *want* social security to run like a business rather than a public good, so make it easier to sue them if they deny you in the future, and this means keeping any documentation you can.
See earlier post below.
On April 1 I Woke up to no social security deposit and I use that to pay rent.
Thanks to the Fedi, April rent has been paid for! My social security is still intact, and I was told deposit would resume in May.
There was no notification, no email, no letter from Social Security, and this was a scary thing to wake up to!
Even though April is covered, I still need mutual aid as a preemptive measure.

Migrated to my own Mastodon. Looks like 27 followers haven't made it here yet, let's see if they arrive later.
I was planning to write my own ActivityPub server, and I even made some progress, but I didn't want to have a non-functional profile in the meantime, so Mastodon it is.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

Hello @MastodonEngineering,
I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.
Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />
Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />
Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.
Appreciate all you do for #Mastodon!

@fedify@hollo.social
We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:
#Fedify now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.
This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.
For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:
// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: "alice" },
recipients,
activity,
{ fanout: "auto" } // Default: automatic based on recipient count
// Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);
You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and #ActivityPub URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.
const federation = createFederation({
// Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
origin: {
handleHost: "example.com",
webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
},
// Other options...
});
Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: sender },
"followers",
activity,
{
preferSharedInbox: true,
syncCollection: true, // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
}
);
Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.
The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.
Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.
Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:
If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.
The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.
For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.
To update to Fedify 1.5.0, run:
# For Deno
deno add jsr:@fedify/fedify@1.5.0
# For npm
npm add @fedify/fedify@1.5.0
# For Bun
bun add @fedify/fedify@1.5.0
Thank you to all contributors who helped make this release possible!

I received a heartwarming #testimonial about #Fedify today!
@bgl shared in the FediDev KR Discord server:
I had trouble finding good resources explaining ActivityPub, but after reading through the Fedify docs from start to finish, I feel like I've actually digested it.
They also posted on their Hackers' Pub:
If you want to learn ActivityPub efficiently, just read the Fedify docs from beginning to end.
This makes all the documentation work worthwhile. Glad our docs are helping people understand not just Fedify, but #ActivityPub itself.

The ActivityPub specification does not have an example of the "sharedInbox" field in use.
Although it does say "An optional endpoint..." — I suspect a lot of people won't know (with confidence) that it can go under the "endpoints" field. For example:
"endpoints": {
"sharedInbox": "https://social.example/inbox"
},
Especially if the person is still trying to understand ActivityPub, and isn't aware of the "endpoints" field yet.

A reasonable ActivityPub / ActivityStreams API to schedule something to be posted in the future might be — to HTTP POST something to an account's outbox with the `published` field set to a date-time in the future.

Currently, the way I am determining if content is valid ActivityPub / ActivityStreams content is —
№1:
Determining if it is valid JSON.
№2:
Checking if it has a "type" field.
And that is it.

Dealing with JSON-LD would be easier in many ways if everything was defined inline.
Rather than having to get the content from a URL in the context, parse it, etc.

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.
Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.
The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.
If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

After about a month of researching, documenting, and writing, this piece is out. Out of my brain, out of my soul.
Knowledge hurts sometimes. Acting consciously is so empowering though, and liberating.

I've been thinking of contributing to the #fediverse for a while now, but I haven't really found a project or an idea that would fit my tech stack requirements yet.
Like Pixelfed and Loops have a PHP backend, but I'd rather contribute something with Golang or Typescript/Javascript.
Does anyone have some ideas?

Quite meta of me, but just for fun, I finished a instalove romance with a HEA between John Mastodon and the Fediverse Chick, but in my story she's called Jane Mastodon. Could anyone beta read? Spice is on page, and explicit, but the synopsis is below.
John Mastodon has just been fired from his job at Twitter. Tired of living in the city, he spots an online ad for a small town called ActivityPub and decides to take a chance on this new town and its inhabitance. Jane Mastodon has a simple job. She's a firefighter. She used to work for a corporate phone company but gave that up to be one of the many pillars of this community that calls themselves the Fediverse. Jane is lonely, and her newly dubbed nickname, the Fediverse chick, plays into so many misconceptions that guys get the wrong idea and pursue her without really seeing her. One day, she plows into John Mastodon at the store, wherein they have an instant connection. Even though their connection is fresh and vibrant, it isn't smooth sailing for both of them. Can they learn to love again after both have been knocked down by life? this story is 20,000 words with a happy ending, a cat named Goldfish, a diverse cast of side characters, brief on page smut, and no miscommunication but there is drama. I’d like beta readers. Is anyone interested?

@cwebber @j12t Yes. I too am glad to hear that someone has been kicked out of a #fediverse event with zero explanation, evidence of wrongdoing, or community oversight (sarcasm)

Thanks to an inquiry posed by @wendy yesterday, I discovered two amazing projects to map community events from aroubd the #fediverse on an @openstreetmap base.
«𝖛𝖔𝔦𝔡 balotta» by @grafton9 shows venues listed on https://balotta.org, an Italian @gancio server.
🗺️ https://autistici.org/void/balotta
«vous revoir» by @simon shows events listed across both @mobilizon and #Gancio servers.

My campaign on Instagram and Facebook for a migration to the Fediverse. Funnily enough, it brought a lot of new friends from the Fediverse itself.

I hear #x is glitching again and I wonder if the frequency of concentrated attacks is increasing. I think once they get over this wall, they will be a very strong centralized platform, but when they get over the wall, people may have left the place. #fediverse

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:
#Fedify now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.
This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.
For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:
// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: "alice" },
recipients,
activity,
{ fanout: "auto" } // Default: automatic based on recipient count
// Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);
You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and #ActivityPub URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.
const federation = createFederation({
// Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
origin: {
handleHost: "example.com",
webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
},
// Other options...
});
Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: sender },
"followers",
activity,
{
preferSharedInbox: true,
syncCollection: true, // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
}
);
Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.
The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.
Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.
Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:
If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.
The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.
For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.

Let's give it try:
I maintain my lists of accounts on #Mastodon & in the #Fediverse on GoogleDocs and I won't discuss that. That's just how I know, how to work with the data.
But can someone show me a way, to visualize this data/tables elsewhere? By connecting another software to GoogleDocs so that, others don't have to go to Google? I tried #DataWrapper, but the result is not as good.
Please don't just name a software, but show me a resource that explicitly tells me how to connect it to Sheets.

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.
Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.
The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.
If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

@openrisk@mastodon.social
The #fediverse needs to come up with something big if its to be a factor in the social, political and economic turmoil we go through, but its not clear it can, at least not in the short term.
The experience of both #bluesky and #signal reaffirms the simple fact that "luck" (unexpected developments) favors the prepared.
But being "prepared" is a resource intensive thing. Not lone developers, but well supported teams that can pursue risky ideas for at least 2-3 years. But thats non-trivial

#Fediverse とは直接関係のない話だけど、他の私企業のプラットフォームに乗っかるより自社でその仕組みを整備しようという動きは、いまのSocial Media の寡占とメタクソ化を考えれば自然に出てくるような気もするけどそれをちゃんと実行できる任天堂さすが、と思った。
たくさんの子供を含むプレイヤーがいる任天堂もだけど、自治体とか公共性のある団体も今後安易に寡占プラットフォームにベットしないほうがよいという雰囲気ができていくといいんだけどな。その代替手段…いや、むしろもっとよい手段 もいまはあるわけだし。

@frankie@infosec.exchange · Reply to Evan Prodromou's post
Truth Social was born out of Mastodon 
And so were a lot of extremist instances which are still active and popular.
The nature of the Fediverse and by extension most FOSS is that they are open and unrestrictive with their software access/usage.
On the other hand, it did also give rise to a lot of political groups from varying parts of the political spectrum.
I think so social media platforms shouldn't lean towards one side of the spectrum. A diverse set of views and opinions should be welcome. But it almost never is the case. Each platform is known for having one kind of bias or the other.
Take Bluesky, it's filled with Left-leaning people who left Twitter because of Musk/Trump. There's a homogeneity to the politics of the opinions shared over there. Some would call it an "Echo Chamber."
Truth Social- Only MAGA idiots.
X- a bit of both.
Fediverse- Depends on the instance. :) One can interact with all kinds of people here, and I think that's a good thing as far as exposure & bias is concerned.

Today is the International Open Hackerspace Day! 👾
I didn’t know about this (thank you for sharing your discovery, @liaizon), but it’s a wonderful coincidence that this very day at 15:00 I’ll be hosting Knitting Our Internet at the newly open SCIFT Makespace! The workshop will most probably be in Italian, but we’ll be open to switch to English if non-Italian speakers are coming.
See this event on Balotta, the local Gancio instance for Bologna 🤘
This is going to be the last stop of the Knitting Our Internet Italy Tour. After the workshop, I’m going to Queen Of Saba’s concert, in case you want to join and see one of the most incredible (and my favorite) artists!

@fedify@hollo.social
We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:
#Fedify now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.
This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.
For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:
// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: "alice" },
recipients,
activity,
{ fanout: "auto" } // Default: automatic based on recipient count
// Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);
You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and #ActivityPub URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.
const federation = createFederation({
// Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
origin: {
handleHost: "example.com",
webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
},
// Other options...
});
Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: sender },
"followers",
activity,
{
preferSharedInbox: true,
syncCollection: true, // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
}
);
Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.
The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.
Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.
Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:
If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.
The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.
For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.
To update to Fedify 1.5.0, run:
# For Deno
deno add jsr:@fedify/fedify@1.5.0
# For npm
npm add @fedify/fedify@1.5.0
# For Bun
bun add @fedify/fedify@1.5.0
Thank you to all contributors who helped make this release possible!

Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.
The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.
Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.
Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:
If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.
The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:
#Fedify now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.
This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.
For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:
// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: "alice" },
recipients,
activity,
{ fanout: "auto" } // Default: automatic based on recipient count
// Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);
You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and #ActivityPub URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.
const federation = createFederation({
// Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
origin: {
handleHost: "example.com",
webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
},
// Other options...
});
Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: sender },
"followers",
activity,
{
preferSharedInbox: true,
syncCollection: true, // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
}
);
Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.

@micr0@wetdry.world
Hello Fediverse friends! I'm Micr0, the creator of Altbot™ - a Fediverse bot that helps make social media more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images and videos for people with visual impairments.
I wanted to share my exciting development plans in the coming months. Your feedback and support have been incredible, and I'm working hard to make Altbot™ even more helpful for everyone.
I'm thrilled to announce my first official partnerships with Fediverse instances! I'll be developing an API with direct integrations into Fediverse software, starting with:
These integrations will make alt-text generation seamless for users on these instances, with more partnerships planned in the future. And anyone will be able to host their own Altbot™ for their instance as well of course :)
The speed of these releases depends on several factors: my personal motivation, support from the community, and my workload. Your encouragement, feedback, and Ko-fi support all help keep this project moving forward!
What features are you most excited about? Let me know your thoughts and suggestions below!
@neuSoM@bewegung.social
Das #Bundesministerium für #Umwelt und #Verbraucherschutz (#BMUV) hat vor drei Jahren die Community „#nachhaltige #Digitalisierung“ gegründet, die seitdem stetig gewachsen ist.
Wer sich für eines der Themen interessiert, sollte der Community beitreten
👉 https://www.bmuv.de/themen/digitalisierung/community-nachhaltige-digitalisierung
In den nächsten Monaten werden einige online Workshops angeboten, so z.B. im Mai zu den wirklich #sozialenMedien des 🐘 #Fediverse, der von @wikimediaDE, @wechange und uns vorbereitet wird. Details folgen.
Den Start für die Workshop-Reihe gibt die Auftaktveranstaltung am 9. April, die mit #BigBlueButton ablaufen soll
👉 https://www.bmuv.de/veranstaltung/auftaktveranstaltung-der-workshopreihe-sovereign-sustainable-digital-digitale-souveraenitaet-nachhaltig-staerken
Wir würden uns freuen, viele von Euch dort zu sehen. 😃
Vielleicht gelingt es dem @bmuv dann sogar, den erfreulicherweise schon bestehenden Mastodon-Kanal zu bespielen. 😊

A Deep Dive into Fediverse Moderation Now and in the Future
@thisismissem has been working with Mastodon and beyond for many years now on Trust & Safety issues and tools for content moderation. She has written what I believe is one of the most comprehensive guides as to what is currently possible as well as future areas of improvement.
When it comes to the #Fediverse we all have a role to play in investing awareness—and perhaps more—into what’s at stake.

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:
#Fedify now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.
This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.
For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:
// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: "alice" },
recipients,
activity,
{ fanout: "auto" } // Default: automatic based on recipient count
// Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);
You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and #ActivityPub URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.
const federation = createFederation({
// Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
origin: {
handleHost: "example.com",
webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
},
// Other options...
});
Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.
await ctx.sendActivity(
{ identifier: sender },
"followers",
activity,
{
preferSharedInbox: true,
syncCollection: true, // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
}
);
Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.
The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.
Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.
Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:

This is the kind of innovation that #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse allows. I just learnt about #Bandwagon (through a post by @atomicpoet) which is a #music artist site (not unlike #Bandcamp). Artists and their posts can be followed just like anyone on the Fediverse.
It's a little rudimentary at the moment (both in style and functionality), and I don't think there is a way to purchase albums for download, but it is a nice example of what is possible.

The ActivityPub specification does not have an example of the "sharedInbox" field in use.
Although it does say "An optional endpoint..." — I suspect a lot of people won't know (with confidence) that it can go under the "endpoints" field. For example:
"endpoints": {
"sharedInbox": "https://social.example/inbox"
},
Especially if the person is still trying to understand ActivityPub, and isn't aware of the "endpoints" field yet.

A Deep Dive into Fediverse Moderation Now and in the Future
@thisismissem has been working with Mastodon and beyond for many years now on Trust & Safety issues and tools for content moderation. She has written what I believe is one of the most comprehensive guides as to what is currently possible as well as future areas of improvement.
When it comes to the #Fediverse we all have a role to play in investing awareness—and perhaps more—into what’s at stake.

そもそも無料での VPN を提供できる業者というと限られてくるし、Vivaldi だってそんなに潤沢な資金があるわけではないはずで、そういういろんな事情のなかでこういう風にビルトインの無料の VPN として提供できるという形になったことは、ブラウザーとして結構大きな成果だと思う。

Fediverse Report – #109
An essay on user preferences, and how the fediverse’s interconnected network of communities can play into that, as well as some other news.
The Bluesky Company (Bluesky PBC) recently announced a proposal to add User Intents to the AT Protocol (ATProto). The proposal allows people to set account-wide preferences how their data should be handled outside the network. It gives people the ability to opt in or opt out their account from a few different things, such as bridging to other protocols or not wanting any of their data being used in generative AI datasets. The proposal is similar to how robots.txt works, meaning that it is a machine-readable format which good actors are supposed to abide by, but is not legally enforceable.
I cover both the fediverse and Bluesky (including ATProto) under Fediverse Report because these networks are deeply interconnected and influence each other. Decisions on one network, like Bluesky’s User Intents proposal, can influence how the fediverse develops and builds their own features. My goal is to help readers understand the fediverse more deeply. By observing how Bluesky’s approaches default user preferences, the fediverse can build their own systems that use its strength of having many diverse and connected communities.
The proposal by Bluesky PBC is as follows:
Also, some concepts of ATProto that are relevant, which makes the protocol different from ActivityPub:
One thing about user preference settings in social apps is that they are a bit of red herring. The majority of people never change the default settings. Giving people choice is a good thing, but it is impossible force people to choose: the majority of people will just not choose anything. This makes it so that the default value for any preference is hugely important, as it is the de-facto value that the majority of people will experience.
Bluesky PBC tries to avoid this issue by introducing a default “undefined” value. The advantage of using a default value of “undefined” is that Bluesky PBC will not overstep their boundaries and determine the preference of everyone on the network, including people who are not using Bluesky but are using other platforms on the network. The downside is that Bluesky PBC effectively makes no decision at all for the majority of people. Bluesky PBC leaves it to the organisations who use the data to determine how data can be handled if the preference is set to “undefined”. These organisations are likely to value their own interests more than the interest of people whose data they intent to process.
Bluesky PBC has three options here, that all have a downside:
So far I’ve only been talking about Bluesky and ATProto. But the fediverse has a long history of debates, conversations and drama on how to deal with data processing that happens outside of the network. Some high-profile cases include the blowup around Bridgy Fed considering making the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky opt-out, or the backlash against Searchtodon, which saved user’s timeline locally for searching.
These debates are around data scraping, consent, things being opt-in or opt-out. But one of the struggles that the fediverse has had is to build structural solutions. A significant portion of the fediverse does not consent to have their data handled outside of the network. A persistent problem is that this preference is not expressed in a machine-readable way. This leads to an endless cycle of new developers coming in that are not familiar with the culture who then cross lines of consent and it all blows up in drama again.
Moreover, the fediverse and ActivityPub have a significant advantage on how to deal with the dilemma of setting default values over ATProto. The fediverse is a network that is build up of many different communities connecting with each other. A variety of communities allows for diverse preferences, which can also be expressed in setting default values. And it is a shame that the fediverse is not capitalising on this advantage.
There are communities from whom discoverability is important. Just as there are communities for whom not being easily publicly discoverable is important. These preference can differ within an individual as well: people treat personal photos shared with friends differently from blog articles.
The fediverse can sidestep the question of default account values because people have many accounts on the fediverse, for different use cases. This gives the option to set a different default value for different services. A Pixelfed platform for close friends should set stricter default data-handling preferences. A Mastodon server for blogging platform Medium that has the goal of giving more visibility and reach to its writers could consider setting default values to be more open.
The power of the fediverse is in that there does not have to be a single default at all. Instead, communities and servers should be able to set default values for themselves. This can help shape the tone of the community, and makes it clear what the identity of a community is about. What’s even more powerful is that this only concerns the default value, giving people the ability to set their preferences as they desire. The state of the open social web is such that there are now two protocols in competition with each other. That gives the ability for the fediverse to take ideas from other networks, and improve on them in a way that plays up to the unique strengths that the fediverse has.
Reminder: next week will be FediForum, on April 1-2, and you can register here.
FediverseSharing: A Novel Dataset on Cross-Platform Interaction Dynamics between Threads and Mastodon Users is a new academic paper (currently under review and up on arXiv) that explores the interaction between Threads users and Mastodon users. It takes a dataset of 20k Threads users that have fediverse sharing enabled and compares it to 20k Mastodon users that have interacted with these Threads users. The main goal of the research is to build up this dataset and share it with the community for further research. How sharing a dataset of aggregated user interactions relates to the above essay on user preferences for being included in bulk datasets is left as an exercise to the reader.
PeerTube has done a major redesign for their v7 of the software that came out a few months ago. The organisation now shared the design and development reports that shaped the update.
IFTAS recently had to shut down most of their larger projects due to a lack of funding. One of their projects, FediCheck is now available as open source for someone else to continue with. FediCheck is a deny list management tool that allows server admins to subscribe to external deny lists.
The Lemmy developers will hold an AMA on Wednesday March 26th.
Last week, Ghost made their ActivityPub integration available in public beta for Ghost Pro subscribers. Their weekly update says that now over 250 sites already use the integration. WeDistribute has a hands on with the new features that Ghost offers.
Note: Last week I wrote about the new fediverse platform Forte, and said that the repository did not include an install guide. This is incorrect, the guide can be found here.

Hello Fediverse friends! I'm Micr0, the creator of Altbot™ - a Fediverse bot that helps make social media more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images and videos for people with visual impairments.
I wanted to share my exciting development plans in the coming months. Your feedback and support have been incredible, and I'm working hard to make Altbot™ even more helpful for everyone.
I'm thrilled to announce my first official partnerships with Fediverse instances! I'll be developing an API with direct integrations into Fediverse software, starting with:
These integrations will make alt-text generation seamless for users on these instances, with more partnerships planned in the future. And anyone will be able to host their own Altbot™ for their instance as well of course :)
The speed of these releases depends on several factors: my personal motivation, support from the community, and my workload. Your encouragement, feedback, and Ko-fi support all help keep this project moving forward!
What features are you most excited about? Let me know your thoughts and suggestions below!

Wie wäre mal ein Ideenwettbewerb für das Fediverse?
Trööt ist ja nicht wirklich international durchsetzungsfähig und auch nur auf eine Plattform gemünzt.
Irgendeine Kombination aus #Fediverse und Post?

Fediverse Report – #109
An essay on user preferences, and how the fediverse’s interconnected network of communities can play into that, as well as some other news.
The Bluesky Company (Bluesky PBC) recently announced a proposal to add User Intents to the AT Protocol (ATProto). The proposal allows people to set account-wide preferences how their data should be handled outside the network. It gives people the ability to opt in or opt out their account from a few different things, such as bridging to other protocols or not wanting any of their data being used in generative AI datasets. The proposal is similar to how robots.txt works, meaning that it is a machine-readable format which good actors are supposed to abide by, but is not legally enforceable.
I cover both the fediverse and Bluesky (including ATProto) under Fediverse Report because these networks are deeply interconnected and influence each other. Decisions on one network, like Bluesky’s User Intents proposal, can influence how the fediverse develops and builds their own features. My goal is to help readers understand the fediverse more deeply. By observing how Bluesky’s approaches default user preferences, the fediverse can build their own systems that use its strength of having many diverse and connected communities.
The proposal by Bluesky PBC is as follows:
Also, some concepts of ATProto that are relevant, which makes the protocol different from ActivityPub:
One thing about user preference settings in social apps is that they are a bit of red herring. The majority of people never change the default settings. Giving people choice is a good thing, but it is impossible force people to choose: the majority of people will just not choose anything. This makes it so that the default value for any preference is hugely important, as it is the de-facto value that the majority of people will experience.
Bluesky PBC tries to avoid this issue by introducing a default “undefined” value. The advantage of using a default value of “undefined” is that Bluesky PBC will not overstep their boundaries and determine the preference of everyone on the network, including people who are not using Bluesky but are using other platforms on the network. The downside is that Bluesky PBC effectively makes no decision at all for the majority of people. Bluesky PBC leaves it to the organisations who use the data to determine how data can be handled if the preference is set to “undefined”. These organisations are likely to value their own interests more than the interest of people whose data they intent to process.
Bluesky PBC has three options here, that all have a downside:
So far I’ve only been talking about Bluesky and ATProto. But the fediverse has a long history of debates, conversations and drama on how to deal with data processing that happens outside of the network. Some high-profile cases include the blowup around Bridgy Fed considering making the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky opt-out, or the backlash against Searchtodon, which saved user’s timeline locally for searching.
These debates are around data scraping, consent, things being opt-in or opt-out. But one of the struggles that the fediverse has had is to build structural solutions. A significant portion of the fediverse does not consent to have their data handled outside of the network. A persistent problem is that this preference is not expressed in a machine-readable way. This leads to an endless cycle of new developers coming in that are not familiar with the culture who then cross lines of consent and it all blows up in drama again.
Moreover, the fediverse and ActivityPub have a significant advantage on how to deal with the dilemma of setting default values over ATProto. The fediverse is a network that is build up of many different communities connecting with each other. A variety of communities allows for diverse preferences, which can also be expressed in setting default values. And it is a shame that the fediverse is not capitalising on this advantage.
There are communities from whom discoverability is important. Just as there are communities for whom not being easily publicly discoverable is important. These preference can differ within an individual as well: people treat personal photos shared with friends differently from blog articles.
The fediverse can sidestep the question of default account values because people have many accounts on the fediverse, for different use cases. This gives the option to set a different default value for different services. A Pixelfed platform for close friends should set stricter default data-handling preferences. A Mastodon server for blogging platform Medium that has the goal of giving more visibility and reach to its writers could consider setting default values to be more open.
The power of the fediverse is in that there does not have to be a single default at all. Instead, communities and servers should be able to set default values for themselves. This can help shape the tone of the community, and makes it clear what the identity of a community is about. What’s even more powerful is that this only concerns the default value, giving people the ability to set their preferences as they desire. The state of the open social web is such that there are now two protocols in competition with each other. That gives the ability for the fediverse to take ideas from other networks, and improve on them in a way that plays up to the unique strengths that the fediverse has.
Reminder: next week will be FediForum, on April 1-2, and you can register here.
FediverseSharing: A Novel Dataset on Cross-Platform Interaction Dynamics between Threads and Mastodon Users is a new academic paper (currently under review and up on arXiv) that explores the interaction between Threads users and Mastodon users. It takes a dataset of 20k Threads users that have fediverse sharing enabled and compares it to 20k Mastodon users that have interacted with these Threads users. The main goal of the research is to build up this dataset and share it with the community for further research. How sharing a dataset of aggregated user interactions relates to the above essay on user preferences for being included in bulk datasets is left as an exercise to the reader.
PeerTube has done a major redesign for their v7 of the software that came out a few months ago. The organisation now shared the design and development reports that shaped the update.
IFTAS recently had to shut down most of their larger projects due to a lack of funding. One of their projects, FediCheck is now available as open source for someone else to continue with. FediCheck is a deny list management tool that allows server admins to subscribe to external deny lists.
The Lemmy developers will hold an AMA on Wednesday March 26th.
Last week, Ghost made their ActivityPub integration available in public beta for Ghost Pro subscribers. Their weekly update says that now over 250 sites already use the integration. WeDistribute has a hands on with the new features that Ghost offers.
Note: Last week I wrote about the new fediverse platform Forte, and said that the repository did not include an install guide. This is incorrect, the guide can be found here.

I’ve asked about this in the past, but I think that might’ve been on a different instance, or maybe it’s just too far back in history for me to easily find.
There are a number of small businesses on the #Fediverse. Some of this is people doing art commissions, multimedia productions, or other kinds of paid trade work. There are also some dedicated hosting services and tools, and maybe there are other things my brain just isn’t thinking about right now.
I am thinking of building a directory of homegrown Fediverse businesses as part of Fedizen.net. I have about 5 or 6 entries, but I feel like there’s a lot more out there. If you own a service or want to promote one, let me know!

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.
When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.
I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!
Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!
This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.
Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

I think there is a need for a "dumb" document format.
HTML is no longer that.
Markdown probably isn't it.
No one really uses enriched-text (IETF RFC 1896).
(I prefer wiki like formats, for various reasons, but —)
I don't think there is an obvious choice for a "dumb" document format, right now.

I think HTML being the default content type for ActivityPub / ActivityStreams is unfortunate in some ways.
HTML was originally a "dumb" document format. But, it is now a "smart" application format — with privacy & security concerns.
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/108237663610634862
You should NOT just take whatever HTML is in the 'content', and put it in the web-browser to view it.
You have to sanitize it. Or, render (unsafe) HTML to (safe) HTML.

Previews in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams is what should bind the disparate software and user-experiences on the Fediverse.
Not the ActivityStreams 'Note'.

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.
Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.
The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.
If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

Oh, great. #Pixelfed had a broken implementation of "follower-only" posts, _and_ fucked up the disclosure / bugfix release process.

Summary of the bug: If you have a protected account (on Pixelfed, Mastodon, GTS, whatever) and a Pixelfed user followed you and got approved by you, _all_ users on that instance were now able to see your followers-only posts, not just the one you approved.

@GossiTheDog "Mastodon" really needs to get cracking on full data portability, IMHO.
It's a shame this hasn't been pushed higher up on the list of things to do.
I think many people have invested quite a bit of time and effort into their posts and profiles, and moving all that data, or somehow managing a switch-over doesn't seem to be that simple, if at all possible.

Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.
When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.
I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.
The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.
If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

Fediverse Report – #109
An essay on user preferences, and how the fediverse’s interconnected network of communities can play into that, as well as some other news.
The Bluesky Company (Bluesky PBC) recently announced a proposal to add User Intents to the AT Protocol (ATProto). The proposal allows people to set account-wide preferences how their data should be handled outside the network. It gives people the ability to opt in or opt out their account from a few different things, such as bridging to other protocols or not wanting any of their data being used in generative AI datasets. The proposal is similar to how robots.txt works, meaning that it is a machine-readable format which good actors are supposed to abide by, but is not legally enforceable.
I cover both the fediverse and Bluesky (including ATProto) under Fediverse Report because these networks are deeply interconnected and influence each other. Decisions on one network, like Bluesky’s User Intents proposal, can influence how the fediverse develops and builds their own features. My goal is to help readers understand the fediverse more deeply. By observing how Bluesky’s approaches default user preferences, the fediverse can build their own systems that use its strength of having many diverse and connected communities.
The proposal by Bluesky PBC is as follows:
Also, some concepts of ATProto that are relevant, which makes the protocol different from ActivityPub:
One thing about user preference settings in social apps is that they are a bit of red herring. The majority of people never change the default settings. Giving people choice is a good thing, but it is impossible force people to choose: the majority of people will just not choose anything. This makes it so that the default value for any preference is hugely important, as it is the de-facto value that the majority of people will experience.
Bluesky PBC tries to avoid this issue by introducing a default “undefined” value. The advantage of using a default value of “undefined” is that Bluesky PBC will not overstep their boundaries and determine the preference of everyone on the network, including people who are not using Bluesky but are using other platforms on the network. The downside is that Bluesky PBC effectively makes no decision at all for the majority of people. Bluesky PBC leaves it to the organisations who use the data to determine how data can be handled if the preference is set to “undefined”. These organisations are likely to value their own interests more than the interest of people whose data they intent to process.
Bluesky PBC has three options here, that all have a downside:
So far I’ve only been talking about Bluesky and ATProto. But the fediverse has a long history of debates, conversations and drama on how to deal with data processing that happens outside of the network. Some high-profile cases include the blowup around Bridgy Fed considering making the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky opt-out, or the backlash against Searchtodon, which saved user’s timeline locally for searching.
These debates are around data scraping, consent, things being opt-in or opt-out. But one of the struggles that the fediverse has had is to build structural solutions. A significant portion of the fediverse does not consent to have their data handled outside of the network. A persistent problem is that this preference is not expressed in a machine-readable way. This leads to an endless cycle of new developers coming in that are not familiar with the culture who then cross lines of consent and it all blows up in drama again.
Moreover, the fediverse and ActivityPub have a significant advantage on how to deal with the dilemma of setting default values over ATProto. The fediverse is a network that is build up of many different communities connecting with each other. A variety of communities allows for diverse preferences, which can also be expressed in setting default values. And it is a shame that the fediverse is not capitalising on this advantage.
There are communities from whom discoverability is important. Just as there are communities for whom not being easily publicly discoverable is important. These preference can differ within an individual as well: people treat personal photos shared with friends differently from blog articles.
The fediverse can sidestep the question of default account values because people have many accounts on the fediverse, for different use cases. This gives the option to set a different default value for different services. A Pixelfed platform for close friends should set stricter default data-handling preferences. A Mastodon server for blogging platform Medium that has the goal of giving more visibility and reach to its writers could consider setting default values to be more open.
The power of the fediverse is in that there does not have to be a single default at all. Instead, communities and servers should be able to set default values for themselves. This can help shape the tone of the community, and makes it clear what the identity of a community is about. What’s even more powerful is that this only concerns the default value, giving people the ability to set their preferences as they desire. The state of the open social web is such that there are now two protocols in competition with each other. That gives the ability for the fediverse to take ideas from other networks, and improve on them in a way that plays up to the unique strengths that the fediverse has.

FediverseSharing: A Novel Dataset on Cross-Platform Interaction Dynamics between Threads and Mastodon Users is a new academic paper (currently under review and up on arXiv) that explores the interaction between Threads users and Mastodon users. It takes a dataset of 20k Threads users that have fediverse sharing enabled and compares it to 20k Mastodon users that have interacted with these Threads users. The main goal of the research is to build up this dataset and share it with the community for further research. How sharing a dataset of aggregated user interactions relates to the above essay on user preferences for being included in bulk datasets is left as an exercise to the reader.
PeerTube has done a major redesign for their v7 of the software that came out a few months ago. The organisation now shared the design and development reports that shaped the update.
IFTAS recently had to shut down most of their larger projects due to a lack of funding. One of their projects, FediCheck is now available as open source for someone else to continue with. FediCheck is a deny list management tool that allows server admins to subscribe to external deny lists.
The Lemmy developers will hold an AMA on Wednesday March 26th.
Last week, Ghost made their ActivityPub integration available in public beta for Ghost Pro subscribers. Their weekly update says that now over 250 sites already use the integration. WeDistribute has a hands on with the new features that Ghost offers.
Note: Last week I wrote about the new fediverse platform Forte, and said that the repository did not include an install guide. This is incorrect, the guide can be found here.

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!
Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!
This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.
Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.
When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.
I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

🚀 Znikali wam obserwujący z dużych instancji #mastodon-a? Bez ich jakiegokolwiek udziału, bez celowego unfollow?
No to już wiadomo, jaki błąd to powodował:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34272
Łatka wpadła 40 minut temu do repo i będzie backportowana na starsze wersje masto.
W skrócie:
Mastodon implementuje specyfikację FEP-8fcf (synchronizacja kolekcji obserwujących na różnych serwerach), ale oczekuje, że wszyscy obserwujący będą w jednej kolekcji na jednej stronie odpowiedzi. Gdy odpowiedź, czyli obserwujący, byli podzieleni na wiele stron, mastodon pobierał tylko pierwszą stronę odpowiedzi i nieprawidłowo usuwał wszystkich obserwujących z kolejnych stron!
Dzięki @hongminhee za informację 👍
Najprawdopodobniej błąd nie dotyczy synchronizacji mastodon <-> mastodon tylko z innymi serwerami, implementującymi paginację kolekcji. I raczej dotyczy większych list obserwujących.

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!
Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!
This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.
Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

23andMe holds an important place in the history Genealogy — and in particular Genetic Genealogy.
Although 23andMe had many applications, Genetic Genealogy was by far the most popular usage of it.
I.e., using genetics to understand ones family history.

Then you would schedule your GreatApe conversation.
Which could be "now", or some time in the future.
GreatApe would then post to your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, PeerTube, or whatever account — telling your followers about the upcoming GreatApe conversation.
This post would include the URL to watch, listen to, and join the upcoming GreatApe conversation.

23andMe also had various "medical reports", that tell you if you might be at risk for some type of condition.
AFAIK, most of them were based on GWAS. So, not necessarily causative.

This is from https://you.23andme.com/family/relatives/ page.
It shows you a list of people who you seem to have a DNA match with, and might be related to.
Although, it can make mistakes. Including about how you are related to the person.
The idea is, you would connect to these people, discuss how you might be related, maybe compare your DNA more closely

This is of the https://you.23andme.com/tools/relatives/map/ page.
This shows a map. On the map is the locations of where the people you are connected to and related to live. Although it only shows people who shared where they live. If they didn't share that information, then they don't show up on the map.

I have long thought that an open-source Genealogical social-network (including a Genetic Genealogy components) would benefit the Genealogy and Genetic Genealogy communities.
It would be straightforward to create it as Fediverse / OpenSocial software — using the same ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, NodeInfo, WebFinger, etc technology that the rest of the Fediverse uses.

23andMe is (also) a social-network.
A social-network that includes both living and deceased people.
Some of this is expressed in the form of a family-tree. But it goes beyond that, as living people can (and do) communicate with each other, too.
And, there is a recommendation system of who to connect, based on if you are potentially related to each other or not.

@maxleibman @andrewfeeney Don't worry, there's no shortage of Nicoles who you can call the Fediverse Chick :D
They're all proud Polish girls from Toronto (29 y/o).
Urban legend says that it all started because of a PhD student's ethically questionable cloning experiment that's gone horribly awry.
There's now whole university lectures filled entirely with Nicoles who are taking the pre-health sciences program at George Brown College.
It's an absolute nightmare marking essays. The poor lecturers don't know which Fediverse Chick to assign the grade to.
And forget about recording tutorial attendance. The lecturer calls out "Nicole" and the whole room yells back "present"!
They're all hoping to get into the medical field someday!

I think it would be better for the Fediverse if back-end servers and front-end clients were not only decoupled, but separate projects.

People being able to have a service acting on their behalf as (at least part of) the back-end could be a path towards this back-end / front-end decoupling and separation.

In fact, it is an old idea. I remember ideas like this floating around in the 1990s. Including in the P2P scene.
(It is common for ideas to get rediscovered over and over and over again. Different people trying to solve similar problems, and independently coming up with similar solutions.)

In many ways, I like the basic idea of ActivityPods, Bluesky PDS, Account Abstraction.

You don't wait for permission to affect the Fediverse. You just do it.
Want a new app? Create it.
Want a new protocol. Implement it.
Want a new UX? Design it.

If anyone here fancies helping PeerTube build its audience, I did a long list of good accounts in the latest thread over on @FediFollows
There are some really nice creators on PeerTube and giving them a follow not only encourages them to make more videos but also helps to federate their videos more widely and get even more people to notice them.
Why not follow a few PeerTube accounts today? 🙂
(Those worried about keeping their timeline neat, video accounts post relatively rarely, sometimes once a week or once a month. They won't swamp your timeline.)

There is a comparison between the (proposed) ActivityPods and the Bluesky PDS.
(I am not the first person to say that.)
But, I think there is also some comparison between both of those and Account Abstraction in the EVM space.
All, in some ways, have a service acting on your behalf and in many ways representing you (the user), with other software.

최근 X(구 Twitter)를 떠나는 사람들이 늘면서 Bluesky에 대한 관심이 뜨겁습니다. Bluesky는 깔끔한 인터페이스와 과거 Twitter와 유사한 사용자 경험을 제공하며, 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈(credible exit)이라는 매력적인 개념을 내세워 X의 유력한 대안으로 떠오르고 있습니다. 하지만 Bluesky와 그 기반 프로토콜인 AT Protocol을 연합우주(fediverse)의 대안으로 보기에는 근본적인 차이가 존재합니다. 이 글에서는 Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨(@cwebber)의 날카로운 분석(〈Bluesky는 실제로 얼마나 탈중앙화 되어 있나〉 및 〈답장: 답장: Bluesky와 탈중앙화〉)을 바탕으로, Bryan Newbold 씨(@bnewbold)의 반론(〈Bluesky와 탈중앙화에 대한 답변〉)을 충분히 고려하면서 Bluesky가 어째서 X의 대안은 될 수 있어도 연합우주의 대안은 될 수 없는지 이야기를 풀어볼까 합니다.
Bluesky와 연합우주의 가장 큰 차이점 중 하나는 설계입니다. 연합우주는 이메일이나 XMPP와 유사한 메시지 전달(message passing) 방식을 채택하고 있습니다. 이는 특정 수신자에게 메시지를 직접 전달하는 방식으로, 효율성이 높습니다. 예를 들어, 수많은 서버 중 단 몇 곳의 사용자만 특정 메시지에 관심을 있다면 해당 서버에만 메시지를 전달하면 됩니다. 비유하자면, 철수가 영희에게 편지를 보내려면 직접 영희의 집으로 편지를 보내고, 영희가 회신하고 싶으면 직접 철수에게 회신하는 것과 같은 방식입니다.
반면, Bluesky는 공유 힙(shared heap) 방식을 사용합니다. 이는 메시지를 특정 수신자에게 직접 보내는 대신, 모든 메시지를 중앙의 “릴레이”라는 곳에 저장하고, 관심 있는 사용자가 릴레이에서 자신에게 필요한 정보를 필터링하는 방식입니다. 이는 마치 모든 편지가 하나의 거대한 우체국(릴레이)에 쌓이고, 각자가 이 우체국에 방문하여 자신에게 관련된 편지를 직접 찾아야 하는 것과 같습니다. 이런 방식에서는 메시지가 직접 전달되지 않기 때문에, 답글이 어떤 메시지에 대한 것인지 파악하려면 모든 가능한 메시지를 알고 있어야 합니다.
이 설계는 데이터와 색인을 분리하여 유연성을 제공한다는 주장도 있지만, 필연적으로 대규모 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되어 탈중앙화의 이상과는 거리가 멀어진다는 한계가 있습니다.
결국 Bluesky가 공유 힙 방식을 채택하고 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되는 데에는 운영 비용이라는 현실적인 이유가 크게 작용합니다. Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨의 분석에 따르면, Bluesky에서 전체 네트워크 기록을 저장하는 릴레이를 운영하는 데에는 상당한 스토리지를 요구하며, 이는 빠르게 증가하고 있습니다. 2024년 7월에는 약 1TB의 저장 공간이 필요했지만, 불과 4개월 후인 11월에는 약 5TB로 증가했습니다. 상업용 호스팅 서비스 기준으로 이는 연간 수만 달러(약 $55,000)에 달하는 비용이 발생할 수 있습니다.
반면, 연합우주에서는 개인이나 소규모 단체가 Raspberry Pi와 같은 저렴한 장비로도 GoToSocial과 같은 소프트웨어를 실행하여 독립적인 노드를 운영할 수 있습니다. 물론 대규모 연합우주 인스턴스는 더 많은 비용이 들겠지만, Bluesky의 전체 릴레이 운영 비용과는 비교하기 어려울 정도로 저렴합니다. 이처럼 운영 비용의 현격한 차이는 Bluesky가 분산된 구조를 채택하기 어렵게 만들고, 결국 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 만드는 주요 원인이라고 볼 수 있습니다.
Bluesky는 댓글 누락과 같은 문제를 피하기 위해 네트워크 전체의 일관된 전역 뷰를 유지하는 데 집중하는 것으로 보입니다. 이러한 목표는 사용자 경험 측면에서 긍정적일 수 있지만, 필연적으로 중앙 집권화를 야기합니다. 대표적인 예가 차단 목록의 전체 공개입니다. 네트워크 전체의 일관성을 유지하기 위해 누가 누구를 차단했는지 모든 앱뷰가 알아야 하므로, 차단 정보가 공개되는 것입니다.
이는 개인 정보 보호 측면에서 심각한 우려를 낳을 수 있습니다. 단순히 누군가의 게시물을 보고 차단된 사람을 추측하는 것과, 네트워크에 “J. K. Rowling[1]을 차단한 모든 사람”을 직접 질의할 수 있는 것 사이에는 큰 차이가 있습니다. 실제로 ActivityPub 개발 과정에서는 이런 문제를 고려하여 서버 간에 차단 활동을 전달하지 않도록 명시적으로 설계했습니다. 이는 차단한 사람이 차단당한 사람의 보복을 받을 위험을 줄이기 위함입니다.
반면 연합우주에서는 각 서버가 독립적으로 차단 정책을 시행하며, 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성을 제공합니다.
연합우주의 핵심 프로토콜인 ActivityPub은 W3C의 채택 권고안으로, 개방형 표준입니다. 이는 누구나 자유롭게 구현하고 사용할 수 있으며, 다양한 소프트웨어 간의 상호 운용성을 보장합니다. 현재 페디버스 커뮤니티는 FEP를 중심으로 활발하게 프로토콜을 개선하고 발전시켜 나가고 있습니다. 반면, Bluesky의 AT Protocol은 아직 특정 사기업에 의해 주도되고 있으며, 개방형 표준으로서의 지위는 아직 확립되지 않았습니다. 이는 페디버스가 가진 확장성과 지속 가능성 측면에서 중요한 차이점이라고 할 수 있습니다.
Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정이나 이동 가능한 아이덴티티와 같은 탈중앙화 요소를 도입했지만, DM은 완전히 중앙화되어 있습니다. 사용자가 어떤 PDS를 사용하든, 어떤 릴레이를 사용하든 상관없이 모든 DM은 Bluesky 회사를 통해 전송됩니다.
이는 Bluesky가 아직 기능적으로 완전한 Twitter 대체품이 되기 위해 속도를 우선시했다는 증거입니다. Bluesky는 이 DM 시스템이 장기적인 솔루션이 아니라고 밝혔지만, 대부분의 사용자들은 이 사실을 인지하지 못하고 있으며 DM도 AT Protocol의 다른 기능처럼 작동한다고 가정합니다.
이러한 중앙화된 DM 구현은 “신뢰할 수 있는 이탈”이라는 Bluesky의 핵심 가치와도 모순됩니다. 만약 Bluesky社가 적대적인 인수나 정책 변경을 겪게 된다면, 사용자들의 개인 대화는 완전히 회사의 통제 하에 남게 됩니다.
Bluesky는 이동 가능한 아이덴티티(portable identity)를 핵심적인 장점 중 하나로 내세우며, 이를 위해 DIDs, 즉 분산 식별자를 활용합니다. 이는 사용자가 자신의 계정과 데이터를 다른 플랫폼으로 쉽게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 중요한 기능입니다. 하지만 Christine Lemmer-Webber는 AT Protocol이 채택한 did:web과 did:plc 방식이 여전히 DNS와 Bluesky社가 관리하는 중앙 집권화된 PLC 레지스트리에 의존하고 있어 완전한 사용자 통제하의 독립적인 아이덴티티를 제공하는지 의문을 제기합니다.
더 놀라운 점은 Bluesky社가 초기에 모든 계정에 대해 동일한 rotationKeys를 사용했다는 사실입니다. 이는 클라우드 HSM 제품이 키별로 비용을 청구해서 각 사용자에게 고유한 키를 제공하는 것이 금전적으로 비용이 많이 들었기 때문이라고 합니다. 이러한 접근 방식은 DIDs 시스템을 구축하는 근본적인 목표와 모순되는 것으로 보입니다.
중요한 점은 DIDs 기술 자체가 탈중앙화된 아이덴티티를 위한 잠재력을 가지고 있음에도, Bluesky와 AT Protocol이 채택한 특정 방식이 중앙 집권화된 요소에 의존한다는 것입니다. 블록체인 기반의 DIDs와 같은 진정으로 탈중앙화된 방식도 존재하지만, AT Protocol은 비교적 구현이 쉬운 did:web과 did:plc를 선택했습니다. 따라서 사용자가 Bluesky 생태계를 벗어나 자신의 아이덴티티를 완전히 독립적으로 관리하고자 할 때 제약이 발생할 수 있습니다.
또한 현재 시스템에서는 Bluesky社가 사용자의 키를 대신 관리하고 있어, 사용자가 현재는 Bluesky社를 신뢰하더라도 미래에 신뢰하지 않게 된 경우에도 여전히 회사에 의존해야 합니다. Bluesky社가 사용자를 대신하여 이동을 수행하도록 신뢰해야 하며, 심지어 Bluesky社가 사용자에게 향후 신원 정보를 제어할 권한을 위임하더라도 Bluesky社는 항상 해당 사용자의 키를 통제할 것입니다.
한편, 연합우주에서는 이미 노마딕 아이덴티티(nomadic identity)라는 개념을 통해 이동 가능한 아이덴티티에 대한 논의와 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔습니다. 이는 단순히 계정을 이전하는 것을 넘어, 사용자의 데이터와 관계, 심지어 평판까지도 자유롭게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 더 포괄적인 개념입니다. 《We Distribute》에 실린 기사 〈오, Zot! ActivityPub에 노마딕 아이덴티티가 도입된다〉에 소개된 Zot 프로토콜과 같은 기술은 이미 연합우주 안에서 이러한 노마딕 아이덴티티를 구현하기 위한 메커니즘을 제공하고 있습니다. 또한, FEP-ef61와 같은 제안을 통해 ActivityPub 자체를 개선하여 더 나은 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 기능을 추가하려는 노력도 진행 중입니다.
결론적으로, Bluesky는 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스와 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈 기능을 통해 X의 훌륭한 대안이 될 수 있습니다. Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정 방식을 통해 노드가 다운되더라도 콘텐츠가 살아남을 수 있게 하는 등 연합우주가 아직 충분히 활용하지 못하는 몇 가지 강점도 가지고 있습니다.
하지만 중앙 집권화된 설계, 전역 뷰에 대한 집착으로 인한 부작용, 개방형 표준으로서의 한계, DM의 중앙화, 그리고 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 구현의 제한점 등 여러 측면에서 연합우주의 대안으로 보기는 어렵습니다. 연합우주는 메시지 전달 방식의 분산된 아키텍처, 낮은 참여 장벽, 개방형 표준 기반의 활발한 커뮤니티 개발, 그리고 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성과 통제권을 제공하는 철학을 바탕으로 구축된, 근본적으로 다른 종류의 탈중앙화 소셜 네트워크입니다.
또한, Bluesky社가 벤처 캐피털 자금을 확보함에 따라 “조직은 미래의 적이다”라는 그들의 자체 인식에도 불구하고, 투자자 수익과 플랫폼 성장이라는 상업적 압력이 진정한 탈중앙화 추구보다 우선시될 위험이 있습니다. 특히 유료 계정과 광고가 도입되면서 이러한 우려는 더욱 커질 수 있습니다.
따라서 Bluesky는 X를 대체할 수 있을지 모르지만, 연합우주가 제공하는 탈중앙화된 가치와 경험을 대체하기는 어려울 것이라고 생각합니다. 두 시스템은 근본적으로 다른 목표와 설계 철학을 가지고 있으며, 이상적으로는 서로를 보완하는 방향으로 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것입니다.

I always gush about @ZLabe and his account, because for one thing it makes the data he works with more accessible (via #ActivityPub), but secondly because the #infographics he stares are very informative - and consistent.
Are there any other #science, #edutainment and #infographic accounts on the #fediverse that has similar consistent and qualify of posts? Think content that is fairly easily digestible during a scroll.
We're looking for the accounts that #TeachTheFediverse.

Wisst ihr, welches Feature dem Fediverse richtig Schwung bringen würde?
Die Antwort wird euch nicht gefallen.
Ein in die App integriertes Analyse-Tool, mit der man den Erfolg und die Reichweite seiner Posts analysieren kann und graphisch hübsch dargestellt kriegt.
Wir sollten nicht unterschätzen, wie viel es ausmacht, ob jemand schnell ne schicke Grafik für die/den Chef erstellen kann, um aufzuzeigen, dass sich die Arbeit gelohnt hat. Die kommerziellen Plattformen bieten das nicht ohne Grund an. Das betrifft sehr viele Bereiche.
Und ja, ich weiß, dass dieser Gedanke dem #Fediverse irgendwie widerspricht. Vielleicht findet sich da ja nach etwas gemeinsamen Nachdenken eine ähnlich gute Lösung, wie bei den (hoffentlich bald kommenden) Drükos.

Hey! 😇
I'm curious to know if there are any projects or platforms in the Fediverse specifically for short videos (like TikTok-style) or for game streaming (like Twitch) that are under development or in use?
It seems like there are some great sharing platforms like PeerTube, but I haven't seen much focus on shorter content or real-time game streaming. Are there any decentralized alternatives?
Would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations! 😊🎮🎥 #Fediverse #ShortVideos #GameStreaming
@jools@missocial.de
Nachdem ich nun eine PeerTube-Instanz gefunden habe, dachte ich mir, ich nehme doch mal schnell ein kurzes Video auf für die neuen User, die sich das erste Mal bei einer bestehenden Friendica-Instanz registrieren und dann vor einer leeren Timeline stehen...
Das Video gibt es bei clip.place, einer PeerTube-Instanz und darf gerne geteilt werden.

I’ve asked about this in the past, but I think that might’ve been on a different instance, or maybe it’s just too far back in history for me to easily find.
There are a number of small businesses on the #Fediverse. Some of this is people doing art commissions, multimedia productions, or other kinds of paid trade work. There are also some dedicated hosting services and tools, and maybe there are other things my brain just isn’t thinking about right now.
I am thinking of building a directory of homegrown Fediverse businesses as part of Fedizen.net. I have about 5 or 6 entries, but I feel like there’s a lot more out there. If you own a service or want to promote one, let me know!

I'm looking for an alternative to Youtube for hosting video content.
Seems like peertube might be an option...
Anyone out there have any experience with them (or alternative recommendations)?

The domain extensions Dot Com, Net, Org, Info, Us, and Edu are all governed by the United States of America. 😮
The word-based domain extensions, for example, Dot Social, managed by corporations based in the United States of America. 😮
To escape America's rule of law, you not only want hosting outside the United States, but you want a country level domain name to be safe. 😉

Thx so much for sharing your experiences!

But you‘re a trailblazer and for many ppl your experiences will be very helpful to navigate the Fediverse! They learn a lot from every one of your discoveries!
Maybe this can lift your spirits at times when it‘s nerve wrecking and not going as planned :).

kurze Frage ans #fediverse #needhelp:
Wenn ein politisches Bündnis gegen Rechts einen Mastodon-Server als Heimat braucht, welchen würdet ihr da empfehlen? Ich suche gerade herum und das einzige was ich bisher finde ist eher aus der Klimagerechtigkeit oder queeren Szene und da weiß ich nicht, obs so gut passen würde.

Gestern: Big Tech vs. Fediverse
Tag 20 im #Fediverse bricht an und ich fühle mich nicht mehr ganz so #neuhier
Gestern habe ich mich sehr darüber gefreut, einen Beitrag von @heiseonline bzw. @ct_Magazin im Fediverse zu lesen und sogar über #Peertube (@peertube) auf #Makertube (@MakerTube) anschauen zu können.
Ich habe daraus einen kleinen Fediverse Post sowie einen Linkedin-Post gemacht. Das war das Ergebnis:
Der Linkedin-Post wurde gestern gegen 20 Uhr veröffentlicht. Er ist ganz kurz ziemlich gut angelaufen, wurde aber nach ca. 30 Minuten massiv in der Reichweite heruntergefahren. Er hat im Ergebnis nur 15 Gefällt mir, 4 Kommentare und 1 Teilen erhalten. Das ist angesichts einer Followerzahl von ca. 10.000 einer meiner "schlechtesten" Beiträge mit Blick auf die Reichweite.
Der Fediverse-Post ist dagegen "viral" und die ganzen Reshares haben mich kaum schlafen lassen, da mein Handy immer ein zartes "Bing" aushaucht, wenn etwas im Fediverse passiert. 😉 Der Post im Fediverse wurde Stand jetzt 72 mal geteilt und 71 mal favorisiert. Zudem hat er 3 Kommentare erhalten.
Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt ziemlich erschreckend, wie ein Algorithmus meine Reichweite je nach Thema beliebig steuern kann. 😯
Mein Wunsch: Mehr Informationen ins Fediverse. Parallel posten macht keinen Aufwand. Ich poste inzwischen im Fediverse mehr als auf Linkedin.

The public beta for connecting Ghost to the fediverse is here, and the ActivityPub integration is now available for Ghost Pro subscribers. Ghost is a publishing platform for sending out blogs via email. With this latest update, Ghost now has another method of distribution, namely via the fediverse. Ghost’s integration with the fediverse consists of two parts: sending out long-form articles published on Ghost into the fediverse, and a reader app to the fediverse from Ghost.
Publishing Ghost articles on ActivityPub makes them accessible to the rest of the fediverse, similar to how WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin works. For users of Ghost this is an easy sales pitch, it is simply another free and automatic distribution channel for their blog. The second part of Ghost’s integration with the social web is a reader app. This app allows Ghost users to browse and read posts on the fediverse. It is split up into two parts: an inbox for reading other long-form posts from Ghost or WordPress, and a feed for all other types of posts. This allows accounts on Ghost not only to send out posts via the ActivityPub integration, but also to connect, respond and follow their audience. It even allows you to post short-form microblogs (notes), just like you’d use on Mastodon, that do not show up on the Ghost website. This makes the Ghost integration a full fediverse experience.
A New Social is the non-profit organisation that builds and manages cross-protocol tools for the open social web. The organisation currently manages Bridgy Fed, the connector that allows accounts to ‘bridge’ between both ActivityPub, ATProto, Nostr and more, and is currently in the process of setting up and launching the organisation. In their first update they shared this week, A New Social shared that they have a board of directors, consisting of Erin Kissane, Ben Werdmuller and Susan Mernit. Bridgy Fed Config is the first upcoming launch that they announced, scheduled for early April. To bridge their account, Bridgy Fed currently requires people to follow the Bridgy Fed account on their platform, which can be confusing and opaque for people as to what is actually happening and if it is working. The upcoming Config settings page allows people to log in with their social web account (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed) and turn the bridging on with a simple switch. A New Social also mentions supporting Threads with the new Bridgy Fed Config update, which is currently not supported by Bridgy Fed.
Forte is a new fediverse platform, that comes from the lineage of Hubzilla and Streams, created by the same developer Mike Macgirvin. Forte’s major feature is that it has Nomadic Identity over ActivityPub. Nomadic Identity means that you can port your entire account, including your posts, settings, social connections, etc. It is slightly different than the account migration that Mastodon has, which transfers your social graph to a new account. With Nomadic Identity, you create a single identity that can be connected to multiple different servers, so when one server becomes unavailable, all your personal data can be transferred and accessed from another server linked to your account. Forte, as well as Hubzilla and Streams, remain on the bleeding edge on what’s possible with ActivityPub. However, Forte also suffers from the same issue that its predecessors have, namely that getting to use the software is surprisingly difficult. By design there is no way to see a list of Forte servers. Forte mainly targets people with technical know-how, as the code repository does not include guide on how to setup your own Forte server. It leads to the funny situation where I would like to give Forte a try because I’m interesting in trying out the new features, but I legitimately do not know how.
Myo is a new image-focused client for the open social web, and allows you to connect your Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr accounts into a single timeline. Combining multiple accounts into a single timeline is similar to OpenVibe, but Myo instead focuses media, in a design that is more reminiscent of Instagram than Twitter. Myo is made by the same developer as SoraSNS, which is also a multi-protocol app that focuses on microblogging instead. Myo and SoraSNS are both available for iOS.
ActivityPub badges is a new project that is currently in development to build a badges/credential system similar to Credly on ActivityPub. The project is currently at the proof-of-concept phase, where badges can be created and send over ActivityPub.
IFTAS, the non-profit for collaborative work on trust & safety on the fediverse, recently had to shut down various of their services due to a lack of funding. In their latest update, the organisation talks about how they are rescoping and moving forward, as the organisation itself is not shutting down. IFTAS will continue with various community support projects, such as their community platform IFTAS Connect. They will also continue providing insight into commonly blocked domains, in a scaled down version of the shut-down FediCheck program.
A new form of spam/scam has recently emerged on the fediverse, and it involves private messages from an account that identifies itself as ‘Nicole the fediverse chick’. So many people have gotten a variation of this message that it is quickly becoming a meme on the fediverse. It is unclear what the exact purpose of this spam is, with either a doxing ex or an elaborate 4chan troll as likely explainers.
This article by Fassbender examines how state surveillance treats federated and decentralised social networks, focusing on the BlueLeaks dataset, which contains a large amount of internal documentation of state surveillance organisations. Fassbender writes: “[…] surveillance actors are less interested in understanding decentralization within platforms, but rather look at organizations first, then take an interest in all platforms that they spread to. This means that any platform (or in the case of the fediverse, grouping of platforms that share a method for interconnecting) can become suspect.”

Anyone else getting spam from various 'nicole' accounts on mastodon.acerbo.me?
I've gotten three, no response when I asked what they want and why they're messaging me.
I replied to the first one, and got no response.
Are we having an influx of spambots onto the fedi?
Alt-text: three identical messages from accounts named "nicole" with a random number appended, originating from the mastodon.acerbo.me instance. Light introduction and three suspicious links to social media.

Excited to see some new apps for the fediverse drop recently.
This one is a cool - similar to how there are now Bluesky image centric apps like Flashes, the fedi dev @me has introduced Myo. It creates timelines of image and video from your fediverse accounts. Lists, hashtag timelines, etc. are supported.

Hey all, the easiest way I can find #Ghost blogs using #ActivityPub is to search for @index and you will get some Friendica results, etc, but for now, that should be a sure way to find almost all the blogs that have enabled this feature so far. I couldn't tell if replies appear as comments, so if you don't want your comments on their blog, don't reply to their fediverse posts. A few told me they can see my comments on their dashboard but I don't know what that means. #FediTips #Fediverse

@reiver A couple come to mind: 1. The annoying amount of effort you have to spend to view/find all the replies and posts from various users on different instances. 2. The poor search functionality.
@reiver@mastodon.social
What about the Fediverse or Mastodon, etc, frustrates you or confuses you?

This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.
(Longer than Threads has existed.)
Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.

Vor fast einem Jahr hat der Chef der #BloggingSoftware #Ghost angekündigt, dass sie ins #Fediverse kommen soll. Jetzt kann man das in einem Betatest ausprobieren.

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:
Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.
Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

Merci à tou.tes les organisateur.ices de cette soirée du @cis_cnrs "Quel avenir pour les réseaux sociaux ?" qui a été un grand succès
J'ai eu l'honneur de parler à la première table ronde au sujet des migrations numériques (surtout vers le #fediverse ) et revenir sur le postulat "protocols not platforms" qui permet de conceptualiser le grand bouleversement du paysage des réseaux sociaux d'aujourd'hui
Mes chers collègues ont donné un beau panorama rétrospectif reprenant les grandes étapes de l'évolution des réseaux et leurs raisons d'être. J'ai dû alors constater un certain retour vers le local, le privatif, l'entre-soi, que de nombreux utilisateurs cherchent suite à la désillusion envers les grandes plateformes type X/Meta. Une quête d'invisibilité, une fuite vers les espaces non-algorithmés – avec toutes les questions que cela pose (notamment celle de "visibilité vs sécurité" et le besoin d'amplifier les voix marginalisées)
Il semble que Mastodon prépare une réponse à ça

I wish @Tusky had a "mentions" feed similar to Fedilab.
I.e., a screen (in the app) that only shows posts that "mention" me.
I get so many other non-mention notifications that I can (and at times often do) miss posts that mention me.

Got an interesting question today about #Fedify's outgoing #queue design!
Some users noticed we create separate queue messages for each recipient inbox rather than queuing a single message and handling the splitting later. There's a good reason for this approach.
In the #fediverse, server response times vary dramatically—some respond quickly, others slowly, and some might be temporarily down. If we processed deliveries in a single task, the entire batch would be held up by the slowest server in the group.
By creating individual queue items for each recipient:
It's a classic trade-off: we generate more queue messages, but gain better resilience and user experience in return.
This is particularly important in federated networks where server behavior is unpredictable and outside our control. We'd rather optimize for making sure your posts reach their destinations as quickly as possible!
What other aspects of Fedify's design would you like to hear about? Let us know!
@Plasticbluemusic@mastodon.social
As I explore the #fediverse, I love the idea of #Mastodon more, but then a lot of people I really want to follow are on #BlueSky. @openvibe is amazing, but I kinda want to share stuff I find cool to everyone on both platforms. So many other thoughts, but I hit the bluesky limit.

@mapache@hachyderm.io · Reply to Maho Pacheco 🦝🍻's post
I gave a little bit of thinking on the changes I want to do to #badgefed before making my server public.
The one who emits the badges, is a #fediverse actor, this should be no controversial, after all, I use the public/private keys to sign the badges itself.
But in the first prototype the recipient of the grant, was a record in the system itself. The idea was to allow recipients outside the fediverse to receive badges as well. I did not wanted to store the email, so I required a profile url, think of your fediverse url, or for those outside #linkedin, #blog, even #facebook if they want. However, it gets things a little bit more complex and less clean than what I want.
Today, I decided that the recipient MUST be an actor of the #Fediverse. That is, it, that will be embedded as a mention, and should be clean and neat. For those who are not in the fediverse, #badgefed will provide an actor (and profile url) where they can add basic information such name, and bio links. Or they can create an account in any of the fediverse platforms at the moment of receiving the badge.

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:
Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.
Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

Fediverse Report #107
Pixelfed raises 138k Canadian dollars for their project, and a new way to connect researchers to the fediverse with an upcoming ORCID bridge.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter campaign has concluded, and the project has raised 138k Canadian dollar (88k EUR/95k USD). The campaign raised money from over 2100 backers, and reached far past it’s original goal of 50k CAD. The campaign has grown significantly in scope, and indicates that the Pixelfed campaign is much more than just about the image-sharing platform Pixelfed. Pixelfed itself has also grown, and there are now reportedly 8 people joining the team. With the money, the team is working on the following:
The amount of money that Pixelfed has raised is significant, especially by fediverse standards. At the same time, this is a lot of different types of projects that the team is undertaking. Pixelfed has a history of overpromising and underdeliving, for example the Groups feature has been announced to be released “soon” for over 2 years now, and this is a feature that they have gotten an NLnet grant for. The new projects that Pixelfed is working on, such as a shared CDN are definitely valuable for the fediverse. But with the attention of the Pixelfed team being pulled in so many different directions, and a lack of clarity on which projects will get focus, it is unclear on which timeline Pixelfed can deliver the planned features.
Encyclia is a newly announced project to make ORCID records available on the fediverse. ORCID, Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a unique identifier for researchers and scientists. Every researcher can have their own unique ORCID, and with it, every publication become records connected to that ORCID. With Encyclia, all these ORCIDS can be followed from your ActivityPub account, meaning that you can always keep up to date with research, even when the researcher does not have a fediverse account. Encyclia is currently still in pre-alpha, and not yet available for use by the public.
This weekend was the SXSW festival, and Flipboard hosted the Fediverse House, with quite some well-known names within the fediverse community, as well as representatives from Bluesky and Threads, as well. There does not seem to be recordings available, but Jeff Sikes was there and had a good live blog if you want to also experience some FOMO.
In my recent updates on Bluesky and ATProto I talk about how Bluesky is increasingly becoming a political actor, due to the presence of various high-profile people who are actively speaking out against the Trump/Musk regime. This impact so far is less visible on the fediverse, as there are no politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using the platform to speak out. But resistance does not only come from high-profile individuals, it comes from people on the ground that organise themselves. To that end, Jon Pincus wrote two articles on organising on the fediverse: If not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses, the ATmosphere, and whatever comes next has an overview of the current state of the networks in relation to organising. Notes (and thoughts) on organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere has a lot more practical details, examening various softwares that can be used in practice. Both articles are great sources of information to get more practical details for people who are considering using decentralised social networks.
Decentralized Social Networks & WordPress with Alex Kirk. The Open Web Conversations has a new Fediverse series, hosted by WordPress ActivityPub plugin creator Matthias Pfefferle. They discuss talk about how a WordPress blog can be build into a full decentralised social networking node with the Friends plugin by Kirk and the ActivityPub plugin by Pfefferle.
Standards War? – Robert W. Gehl. Gehl compares IFTAS’ funding struggles with the Free Our Feeds campaign, who are raising money to build alternative ATProto infrastructure, and describes it as an illustration of the emerging standards war between ActivityPub and ATProto.
A Long-Shot Bet to Bypass the Middlemen of Social Media – John Markoff/New York Times. The NYT interviews Flipboard’s CEO Mike McCue to talk about how the company is using building a new decentralised social web with Flipboard and timeline app Surf.
The Software Sessions podcast did an interview with Hong Minhee. Hong is the developer for ActivityPub framework Fedify, as well as Hollo, a single-user microblogging platform.

Is the world in need of a federated Craigslist/Kleinanzeigen platform? I am currently thinking about a project to dig into #fediverse development and learning #golang or stay with #deno and using #fedify.
EDIT: There is already something like that on the fediverse! It's called Flohmarkt. Thanks for the comments mentioning that!

Hey folks, I'm trying to get a group of people onboarded to the #Fediverse as it concerns serious discussions and organization about topics that are serious in nature. There are many things people need to talk about as far as tactics and tools for an actual resistance against what is going on in the US right now that Reddit/Google/Meta deliberately crack down on.
Mastodon is an easy first step, but I need some suggestions for other tools involving video and other communications.

Fedifyの関連プロジェクトをご紹介したいと思います。ActivityPubアプリケーション開発をより簡単にするツール群です：
Fedify（@fedify）はActivityPubやその他のフェディバース標準を活用する連合型サーバーアプリケーションを構築するためのTypeScriptライブラリです。Activity Vocabularyの型安全なオブジェクト、WebFingerクライアント・サーバー、HTTP Signaturesなどを提供し、ボイラープレートコードを削減してアプリケーションロジックに集中できるようにします。
Hollo（@hollo）はFedifyで動作するお一人様用マイクロブログサーバーです。個人向けに設計されていますが、ActivityPubを通じて完全に連合化されており、フェディバース全体のユーザーと交流することができます。HolloはMastodon互換APIを実装しているため、独自のウェブインターフェースがなくても、ほとんどのMastodonクライアントと互換性があります。
Holloはまた、正式リリース前の最新Fedify機能をテストする実験場としても活用されています。
BotKit（@botkit）は私たちの最も新しいメンバーで、ActivityPubボットを作成するために特別に設計されたフレームワークです。従来のMastodonボットとは異なり、BotKitはプラットフォーム固有の制限（文字数制限など）に縛られない独立したActivityPubサーバーを作成します。
BotKitのAPIは意図的にシンプルに設計されており、単一のTypeScriptファイルで完全なボットを作成できます！
これら三つのプロジェクトはすべて@fedify-dev GitHubオーガニゼーションでオープンソースとして公開されています。それぞれ異なる目的を持っていますが、ActivityPub開発をより身近にし、フェディバースのエコシステムを拡大するという共通の目標を共有しています。

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:
Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.
Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse
I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.
ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.
I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles.

Cool things you can do in Mastodon and perhaps you weren't aware of:
* Create an RSS link from any Mastodon profile
* Validate your profile easily using your personal domain
* Use a column interface à là Tweetdeck (RIP)

Excited to see some new apps for the fediverse drop recently.
This one is a cool - similar to how there are now Bluesky image centric apps like Flashes, the fedi dev @me has introduced Myo. It creates timelines of image and video from your fediverse accounts. Lists, hashtag timelines, etc. are supported.

New: Fediverse Report #108
This week's news:
- Ghost's (@index) connection to the #fediverse is now availabe in public beta for Ghost Pro users, with both an #ActivityPub connection to send long-form posts into the fediverse, and a reader app to read/comment/interact with the fediverse
- @anewsocial , the organisation that manages the bridge between the fediverse and #bluesky shared their upcoming plans

Fediverse Report #108
Newsletter publisher Ghost is now connecting to the fediverse in public beta, updates about the bridge that connects the fediverse with Bluesky, and more.
The public beta for connecting Ghost to the fediverse is here, and the ActivityPub integration is now available for Ghost Pro subscribers. Ghost is a publishing platform for sending out blogs via email. With this latest update, Ghost now has another method of distribution, namely via the fediverse. Ghost’s integration with the fediverse consists of two parts: sending out long-form articles published on Ghost into the fediverse, and a reader app to the fediverse from Ghost.
Publishing Ghost articles on ActivityPub makes them accessible to the rest of the fediverse, similar to how WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin works. For users of Ghost this is an easy sales pitch, it is simply another free and automatic distribution channel for their blog. The second part of Ghost’s integration with the social web is a reader app. This app allows Ghost users to browse and read posts on the fediverse. It is split up into two parts: an inbox for reading other long-form posts from Ghost or WordPress, and a feed for all other types of posts. This allows accounts on Ghost not only to send out posts via the ActivityPub integration, but also to connect, respond and follow their audience. It even allows you to post short-form microblogs (notes), just like you’d use on Mastodon, that do not show up on the Ghost website. This makes the Ghost integration a full fediverse experience.
A New Social is the non-profit organisation that builds and manages cross-protocol tools for the open social web. The organisation currently manages Bridgy Fed, the connector that allows accounts to ‘bridge’ between both ActivityPub, ATProto, Nostr and more, and is currently in the process of setting up and launching the organisation. In their first update they shared this week, A New Social shared that they have a board of directors, consisting of Erin Kissane, Ben Werdmuller and Susan Mernit. Bridgy Fed Config is the first upcoming launch that they announced, scheduled for early April. To bridge their account, Bridgy Fed currently requires people to follow the Bridgy Fed account on their platform, which can be confusing and opaque for people as to what is actually happening and if it is working. The upcoming Config settings page allows people to log in with their social web account (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed) and turn the bridging on with a simple switch. A New Social also mentions supporting Threads with the new Bridgy Fed Config update, which is currently not supported by Bridgy Fed.
Forte is a new fediverse platform, that comes from the lineage of Hubzilla and Streams, created by the same developer Mike Macgirvin. Forte’s major feature is that it has Nomadic Identity over ActivityPub. Nomadic Identity means that you can port your entire account, including your posts, settings, social connections, etc. It is slightly different than the account migration that Mastodon has, which transfers your social graph to a new account. With Nomadic Identity, you create a single identity that can be connected to multiple different servers, so when one server becomes unavailable, all your personal data can be transferred and accessed from another server linked to your account. Forte, as well as Hubzilla and Streams, remain on the bleeding edge on what’s possible with ActivityPub. However, Forte also suffers from the same issue that its predecessors have, namely that getting to use the software is surprisingly difficult. By design there is no way to see a list of Forte servers. Forte mainly targets people with technical know-how, as the code repository does not include guide on how to setup your own Forte server. It leads to the funny situation where I would like to give Forte a try because I’m interesting in trying out the new features, but I legitimately do not know how.
Myo is a new image-focused client for the open social web, and allows you to connect your Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr accounts into a single timeline. Combining multiple accounts into a single timeline is similar to OpenVibe, but Myo instead focuses media, in a design that is more reminiscent of Instagram than Twitter. Myo is made by the same developer as SoraSNS, which is also a multi-protocol app that focuses on microblogging instead. Myo and SoraSNS are both available for iOS.
ActivityPub badges is a new project that is currently in development to build a badges/credential system similar to Credly on ActivityPub. The project is currently at the proof-of-concept phase, where badges can be created and send over ActivityPub.
IFTAS, the non-profit for collaborative work on trust & safety on the fediverse, recently had to shut down various of their services due to a lack of funding. In their latest update, the organisation talks about how they are rescoping and moving forward, as the organisation itself is not shutting down. IFTAS will continue with various community support projects, such as their community platform IFTAS Connect. They will also continue providing insight into commonly blocked domains, in a scaled down version of the shut-down FediCheck program.
A new form of spam/scam has recently emerged on the fediverse, and it involves private messages from an account that identifies itself as ‘Nicole the fediverse chick’. So many people have gotten a variation of this message that it is quickly becoming a meme on the fediverse. It is unclear what the exact purpose of this spam is, with either a doxing ex or an elaborate 4chan troll as likely explainers.
This article by Fassbender examines how state surveillance treats federated and decentralised social networks, focusing on the BlueLeaks dataset, which contains a large amount of internal documentation of state surveillance organisations. Fassbender writes: “[…] surveillance actors are less interested in understanding decentralization within platforms, but rather look at organizations first, then take an interest in all platforms that they spread to. This means that any platform (or in the case of the fediverse, grouping of platforms that share a method for interconnecting) can become suspect.”

It is split up into two parts: an inbox for reading other long-form posts from Ghost or WordPress, and a feed for all other types of posts. This allows accounts on Ghost not only to send out posts via the ActivityPub integration, but also to connect, respond and follow their audience. It even allows you to post short-form microblogs (notes), just like you’d use on Mastodon, that do not show up on the Ghost website. This makes the Ghost integration a full fediverse experience.
A New Social is the non-profit organisation that builds and manages cross-protocol tools for the open social web. The organisation currently manages Bridgy Fed, the connector that allows accounts to ‘bridge’ between both ActivityPub, ATProto, Nostr and more, and is currently in the process of setting up and launching the organisation. In their first update they shared this week, A New Social shared that they have a board of directors, consisting of Erin Kissane, Ben Werdmuller and Susan Mernit. Bridgy Fed Config is the first upcoming launch that they announced, scheduled for early April. To bridge their account, Bridgy Fed currently requires people to follow the Bridgy Fed account on their platform, which can be confusing and opaque for people as to what is actually happening and if it is working. The upcoming Config settings page allows people to log in with their social web account (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed) and turn the bridging on with a simple switch. A New Social also mentions supporting Threads with the new Bridgy Fed Config update, which is currently not supported by Bridgy Fed.
Forte is a new fediverse platform, that comes from the lineage of Hubzilla and Streams, created by the same developer Mike Macgirvin. Forte’s major feature is that it has Nomadic Identity over ActivityPub. Nomadic Identity means that you can port your entire account, including your posts, settings, social connections, etc. It is slightly different than the account migration that Mastodon has, which transfers your social graph to a new account. With Nomadic Identity, you create a single identity that can be connected to multiple different servers, so when one server becomes unavailable, all your personal data can be transferred and accessed from another server linked to your account. Forte, as well as Hubzilla and Streams, remain on the bleeding edge on what’s possible with ActivityPub. However, Forte also suffers from the same issue that its predecessors have, namely that getting to use the software is surprisingly difficult. By design there is no way to see a list of Forte servers. Forte mainly targets people with technical know-how, as the code repository does not include guide on how to setup your own Forte server. It leads to the funny situation where I would like to give Forte a try because I’m interesting in trying out the new features, but I legitimately do not know how.
Myo is a new image-focused client for the open social web, and allows you to connect your Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr accounts into a single timeline. Combining multiple accounts into a single timeline is similar to OpenVibe, but Myo instead focuses media, in a design that is more reminiscent of Instagram than Twitter. Myo is made by the same developer as SoraSNS, which is also a multi-protocol app that focuses on microblogging instead. Myo and SoraSNS are both available for iOS.
ActivityPub badges is a new project that is currently in development to build a badges/credential system similar to Credly on ActivityPub. The project is currently at the proof-of-concept phase, where badges can be created and send over ActivityPub.
IFTAS, the non-profit for collaborative work on trust & safety on the fediverse, recently had to shut down various of their services due to a lack of funding. In their latest update, the organisation talks about how they are rescoping and moving forward, as the organisation itself is not shutting down. IFTAS will continue with various community support projects, such as their community platform IFTAS Connect. They will also continue providing insight into commonly blocked domains, in a scaled down version of the shut-down FediCheck program.
A new form of spam/scam has recently emerged on the fediverse, and it involves private messages from an account that identifies itself as ‘Nicole the fediverse chick’. So many people have gotten a variation of this message that it is quickly becoming a meme on the fediverse. It is unclear what the exact purpose of this spam is, with either a doxing ex or an elaborate 4chan troll as likely explainers.
This article by Fassbender examines how state surveillance treats federated and decentralised social networks, focusing on the BlueLeaks dataset, which contains a large amount of internal documentation of state surveillance organisations. Fassbender writes: “[…] surveillance actors are less interested in understanding decentralization within platforms, but rather look at organizations first, then take an interest in all platforms that they spread to. This means that any platform (or in the case of the fediverse, grouping of platforms that share a method for interconnecting) can become suspect.”

Ja Open-Source is aktiv und sind schon lange nicht "nur ein Gebastel" 🤓
Gerade eben in den letzten Tagen bekamen @GIMP, @Blender so auch @peertube im Fediverse ihre Updates in aktuelle maßgebliche Versionen 👍
P.S. Ich freue mich und Toote davon, auch wenn ich es selber selten nutze.
P.P.S. Manche Menschen müssen auch hier im Fediverse mötzeln, dass es nicht perfekt sei aber je nach Anwendung ist es anders 🙄

Hello everyone!
My partner @g1m01982 is a #TaylorSwift fanatic, but he's struggled to connect with other #Swifties on the #Fediverse. I am most assuredly *not* one, but I know how very passionate he is about the artist and the entire industry built around her; and he needs all the support and encouragement he can get as he struggles to recover from #PTSD and years of abuse without any #therapy or income.
So.. if you are a #Swiftie4Life like him, please consider giving him a follow. Thank you!

Link at end but I love this article for it's shocked tone. I love how the more tech of the Fediverse can't possibly comprehend that there are people that honestly just want to be left the fuck alone.

Just noticed this "Open in the application? " banner on @framasoft's "What is the fediverse" @peertube video and I have the app installed thru @fdroidorg but it takes me to the Google Play download page for it instead of opening it in the app. Makes for a really bad fediverse experience, we need to figure out these sorts of flows and make sure they reliably work. #fedidev #peertube #fediverse

I've performed some tests, and it's great. #snac and #haproxy are working great together - now with caching of media and json responses, to scale up, and up, and up...and up!
#Varnish is the best tool for caching, but the setup I've tested doesn't require it and it's still good enough.
I think this will be a blog post, as soon as I'll have enough time.

I hadn't checked my follower count in a while, but now that I did, it looks like it's about to surpass what I ever had during my 17 years on Twitter - the magic number is 7000.
The funny thing is, even when my follower count was much lower, the activity here was far greater than it ever was on Twitter.
This is the power of the Fediverse.

Fediverse Report #108
Newsletter publisher Ghost is now connecting to the fediverse in public beta, updates about the bridge that connects the fediverse with Bluesky, and more.
The public beta for connecting Ghost to the fediverse is here, and the ActivityPub integration is now available for Ghost Pro subscribers. Ghost is a publishing platform for sending out blogs via email. With this latest update, Ghost now has another method of distribution, namely via the fediverse. Ghost’s integration with the fediverse consists of two parts: sending out long-form articles published on Ghost into the fediverse, and a reader app to the fediverse from Ghost.
Publishing Ghost articles on ActivityPub makes them accessible to the rest of the fediverse, similar to how WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin works. For users of Ghost this is an easy sales pitch, it is simply another free and automatic distribution channel for their blog. The second part of Ghost’s integration with the social web is a reader app. This app allows Ghost users to browse and read posts on the fediverse. It is split up into two parts: an inbox for reading other long-form posts from Ghost or WordPress, and a feed for all other types of posts. This allows accounts on Ghost not only to send out posts via the ActivityPub integration, but also to connect, respond and follow their audience. It even allows you to post short-form microblogs (notes), just like you’d use on Mastodon, that do not show up on the Ghost website. This makes the Ghost integration a full fediverse experience.

Yesterday, @anewsocial gave us a first look behind the scenes, as well as introducing an amazing board of directors who will help steer them.
The guys behind it, @quillmatiq and @snarfed.org are both great people. We're excited to see what they do and work with them to grow the open social web!

Update no. 2:
Yesterday my 4-year-old woke up at 7am thus thwarting my plans to read #CarelessPeople for a good hour.
So today I woke up at 6am to resume reading the book. It’s THAT GOOD.
The leaders at #Meta have been shockingly irresponsible in their decisions since the early days. All they care about? Gathering data and influence and making big bucks. I’m so glad I got out of all their platforms and I’m on the #Fediverse instead.
History books won’t be kind to Zuck, Sandberg et al.

I think this likely applies to the Fediverse, too.
Although, I don't think every social-media user it trying to gain and grow an audience. I think some people are just trying to make find friends or people with similar interests who are mutuals.

I have a Mastodon feature request. Could there please be a specialized emoji for the #XMPP logo? To put it beside one's name? It can draw attention to an XMPP "Chat ID" that one has put in one's Mastodon profile. Similarly, it would make sense to also have emojis for the #Deltachat logo, #Matrix logo, etc. Basically, every other #OpenSource federated network (#Pixelfed? #Peertube?) would likewise deserve an emoji.
This is so that Mastodonians can draw attention to the accounts they have on other #Fediverse servers. It's a visual cue, right by their names, inviting others to tap/click their avatars/names, and have a look at their profile, where further contact info could be presented. It would encourage people to use Federated services more, then display their involvement to others.

“The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.” Here’s yet another brilliant feature by @Daojoan. “The fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes.

Is there any kind of achievement system here on Mastodon/Fediverse?
And isn't the query language here suitable for this?

the more I see the one-sided rivalry from fedi towards Bluesky, the more I feel people don't actually care about federation and just use it as a buzzword.

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.
Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.
Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.
Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

Under the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:
⚫️ Check if they have UK users
⚫️ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments
⚫️ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcom’s future directives

The UK Online Safety Act burdens small sites with duties and penalties that they can't shoulder. They'll shut down instead, stripping us of net plurality.
There’s a simple solution:
✅ Exempt small, safely run blogs, forums and fedi instances
✅ The government can do this now
The duties start TOMORROW – Write to your MP ⬇️

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse
I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.
ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.
I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: https://github.com/tryvocalcat/activitypub-badges
Who wants a badge of early adopter?

Exciting news! After months of development, Altbot 2.0 is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.
The only data Altbot 2.0 records:
No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.
For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.
To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.
I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: Ko-fi.com/micr0byte
Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:
Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse!
This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.
As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects.
For press inquiries: inquiries@micr0.dev
Feel free to boost or reach out!

As of today, the public swiss technical university @epfl in Lausanne has its own Mastodon server – accessible to all members of the institution, including students (!), and directly linked to their institutional login system.

A very warm welcome, EPFL, in the Fediverse, thank you for your efforts, and congratulations!

Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.
A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.
Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse

@Flipboard@flipboard.social · Reply to Flipboard's post
Finally, our team had a wonderful time at #SXSW on Sunday and Monday, where Flipboard and @surf hosted the first #FediverseHouse. Our CEO @mike and the whole team are 100% #TeamFediverse, and were thrilled to meet and talk to so many other open social web advocates. Here’s a feature by @Markoff for @newyorktimes, where Mike, @Gargron and @reckless1280 discuss the rise of decentralized social media, and how it can help publishers and media companies survive and thrive.

Fediverse Report #107
Pixelfed raises 138k Canadian dollars for their project, and a new way to connect researchers to the fediverse with an upcoming ORCID bridge.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter campaign has concluded, and the project has raised 138k Canadian dollar (88k EUR/95k USD). The campaign raised money from over 2100 backers, and reached far past it’s original goal of 50k CAD. The campaign has grown significantly in scope, and indicates that the Pixelfed campaign is much more than just about the image-sharing platform Pixelfed. Pixelfed itself has also grown, and there are now reportedly 8 people joining the team. With the money, the team is working on the following:
The amount of money that Pixelfed has raised is significant, especially by fediverse standards. At the same time, this is a lot of different types of projects that the team is undertaking. Pixelfed has a history of overpromising and underdeliving, for example the Groups feature has been announced to be released “soon” for over 2 years now, and this is a feature that they have gotten an NLnet grant for. The new projects that Pixelfed is working on, such as a shared CDN are definitely valuable for the fediverse. But with the attention of the Pixelfed team being pulled in so many different directions, and a lack of clarity on which projects will get focus, it is unclear on which timeline Pixelfed can deliver the planned features.
Encyclia is a newly announced project to make ORCID records available on the fediverse. ORCID, Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a unique identifier for researchers and scientists. Every researcher can have their own unique ORCID, and with it, every publication become records connected to that ORCID. With Encyclia, all these ORCIDS can be followed from your ActivityPub account, meaning that you can always keep up to date with research, even when the researcher does not have a fediverse account. Encyclia is currently still in pre-alpha, and not yet available for use by the public.
This weekend was the SXSW festival, and Flipboard hosted the Fediverse House, with quite some well-known names within the fediverse community, as well as representatives from Bluesky and Threads, as well. There does not seem to be recordings available, but Jeff Sikes was there and had a good live blog if you want to also experience some FOMO.
In my recent updates on Bluesky and ATProto I talk about how Bluesky is increasingly becoming a political actor, due to the presence of various high-profile people who are actively speaking out against the Trump/Musk regime. This impact so far is less visible on the fediverse, as there are no politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using the platform to speak out. But resistance does not only come from high-profile individuals, it comes from people on the ground that organise themselves. To that end, Jon Pincus wrote two articles on organising on the fediverse: If not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses, the ATmosphere, and whatever comes next has an overview of the current state of the networks in relation to organising. Notes (and thoughts) on organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere has a lot more practical details, examening various softwares that can be used in practice. Both articles are great sources of information to get more practical details for people who are considering using decentralised social networks.
Decentralized Social Networks & WordPress with Alex Kirk. The Open Web Conversations has a new Fediverse series, hosted by WordPress ActivityPub plugin creator Matthias Pfefferle. They discuss talk about how a WordPress blog can be build into a full decentralised social networking node with the Friends plugin by Kirk and the ActivityPub plugin by Pfefferle.
Standards War? – Robert W. Gehl. Gehl compares IFTAS’ funding struggles with the Free Our Feeds campaign, who are raising money to build alternative ATProto infrastructure, and describes it as an illustration of the emerging standards war between ActivityPub and ATProto.
A Long-Shot Bet to Bypass the Middlemen of Social Media – John Markoff/New York Times. The NYT interviews Flipboard’s CEO Mike McCue to talk about how the company is using building a new decentralised social web with Flipboard and timeline app Surf.
The Software Sessions podcast did an interview with Hong Minhee. Hong is the developer for ActivityPub framework Fedify, as well as Hollo, a single-user microblogging platform.

Exciting news! After months of development, Altbot 2.0 is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.
The only data Altbot 2.0 records:
No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.
For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.
To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.
I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: Ko-fi.com/micr0byte
Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:
Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse!
This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.
As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects.
For press inquiries: inquiries@micr0.dev
Feel free to boost or reach out!

Finally, our team had a wonderful time at #SXSW on Sunday and Monday, where Flipboard and @surf hosted the first #FediverseHouse. Our CEO @mike and the whole team are 100% #TeamFediverse, and were thrilled to meet and talk to so many other open social web advocates. Here’s a feature by @Markoff for @newyorktimes, where Mike, @Gargron and @reckless1280 discuss the rise of decentralized social media, and how it can help publishers and media companies survive and thrive.

I set up a web-site for GreatApe.
A URL I can use when I talk about GreatApe.
Until now, it was just the GitHub repos. Now, GreatApe has its own web-site.
For now, it is very basic. More needs to be added to it.

I'm finally unveiling the #ActivityPub project that has been consuming my weekends: Encyclia, an #ORCID bridge that will make ORCID records followable and interactable on the fediverse. 🙂
It's early-stage and the ORCID following function is not publicly available yet. We're seeking community feedback on functionality and safety aspects. Read more at https://encyclia.pub or follow @encyclia for news!

“The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.” Here’s yet another brilliant feature by @Daojoan. “The fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes.

Volume SEVEN of my #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity / #Infosec newsletter, "Scrolls" has landed! You can read and get scrollin' here https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-03-14.
It features the usual awesomeness and also has a vastly improved logo, created by my good friend and super talented artist angryrolypoly (https://www.instagram.com/angryrolypoly/). He's also the genius behind a lot of the other art on my site including my Fedi profile pic!
Also, special shoutout as well to @humdrum for making some other art for the Scrolls cause 🤗.
The art and images of Scrolls, as much as the links themselves are what make it such a pleasure to read - one more big THANK YOU to @shaferbrown & @skeddles for being such talented artists. I enjoy seeing everything you post!

I think this is big: there’s a tool that will migrate you existing toots (!!) from one instance to another. The only instance that currently supports the receiving end is GoToSocial, but still. This is huge!
Here’s a blog post by @splitbrain doing it:
https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/12-mastodon_to_gotosocial_migration
And here’s the tool to use:
“slurp: A tool for exporting data from and importing data to Fediverse instances. Requires that they support the Mastodon API as implemented by GoToSocial. Intended for use with GoToSocial, but should work with other Mastodon-like instances, including Mastodon.”

Anyway to fix this for the official app?

Most #ActivityPub implementations include Mention objects in the tag attribute when someone mentions another actor within the content of a Note or Article. Should actor objects like Person or Group also include Mention objects in their tag attribute when mentioning other actors within their bio (summary)? Are there any implementations that already work this way? (I've checked Mastodon and it seems they don't include these mentions.) What are your thoughts on this?

I love the #fediverse.
We've been living through this strange world for 2 decades where we let several large corporations convince us that disintermediation of your friends and acquaintances was a desirable outcome.
We let them monetize our FOMO and social nature.
The best thing ever to happen is birdsite being bought and torched. Sure it was a shame.
I much prefer a universe where NO ONE own social networks.
Because they never actually did in the first place. ✊

Are auto boosting bots usefull to you? Have they actually resualted in your posts getting seen and more likes/boosts from human accounts?
The #fediverse has #bots that seem to auto #boost #posts about just about any popular hashtag, with the creators of these bots usually centralised.
edit: like i'l see a bunch of them coming from one specific server.

Are auto boosting bots usefull to you? Have they actually resualted in your posts getting seen and more likes/boosts from human accounts?
The #fediverse has #bots that seem to auto #boost #posts about just about any popular hashtag, with the creators of these bots usually centralised.
edit: like i'l see a bunch of them coming from one specific server.

Easier said then done, but the opportunity is there. As Afsaneh Rigot says in Can We Build Tech That Is Not Oppressive?
"The details of how highly marginalized communities are criminalized are the key to how we can build robust and even scalable tech that is not oppressive. This is how Design From the Margins truly works....
The experience of the most criminalized in the US and globally shows how power really works. This knowledge, the workarounds, can also be translated into stealthy tech design, build, and engineering choices that help navigate systems."

We need to accelerate work on a few things at once:
Find ways to leverage and improve the current prototypes for mutual aid, organizing, and counter propaganda, hate, and information overload
Help people move from corporate social networks - without losing their support networks, ties to communities, and connections with friends and family.
Build whatever comes next. Structurally, and in terms of applications, what will decentralized social networks, designed from the margins using design justice principles look like?
@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange
if not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere
https://privacy.thenexus.today/if-not-now-when/
Mutual aid. Organizing. Sharing, contextualizing, and making meaning of news and health information to counter propaganda and information overload. The use cases for alternative social networks – not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's working with their cronies in authoritarian governments – practically write themselves in today's world. And with so many talented social scientists, designers, systems thinkers, and developers directly impacted by DOGE, MAGA, et al, there are a lot of people with the right skills for these new networks to make rapid progress.
The good news is there's a lot of promising work happening in the decentralized social media ecosystems known as the fediverses ("federated universes") and the ATmosphere (a fediverse built on Bluesky's AT protocol), including DAIR-tube, Blacksky, the #FreeFediverse, and more.
Still, as promising as these efforts are, there's still a long ways to go.

Fediverse Report #107
Pixelfed raises 138k Canadian dollars for their project, and a new way to connect researchers to the fediverse with an upcoming ORCID bridge.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter campaign has concluded, and the project has raised 138k Canadian dollar (88k EUR/95k USD). The campaign raised money from over 2100 backers, and reached far past it’s original goal of 50k CAD. The campaign has grown significantly in scope, and indicates that the Pixelfed campaign is much more than just about the image-sharing platform Pixelfed. Pixelfed itself has also grown, and there are now reportedly 8 people joining the team. With the money, the team is working on the following:
The amount of money that Pixelfed has raised is significant, especially by fediverse standards. At the same time, this is a lot of different types of projects that the team is undertaking. Pixelfed has a history of overpromising and underdeliving, for example the Groups feature has been announced to be released “soon” for over 2 years now, and this is a feature that they have gotten an NLnet grant for. The new projects that Pixelfed is working on, such as a shared CDN are definitely valuable for the fediverse. But with the attention of the Pixelfed team being pulled in so many different directions, and a lack of clarity on which projects will get focus, it is unclear on which timeline Pixelfed can deliver the planned features.
Encyclia is a newly announced project to make ORCID records available on the fediverse. ORCID, Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a unique identifier for researchers and scientists. Every researcher can have their own unique ORCID, and with it, every publication become records connected to that ORCID. With Encyclia, all these ORCIDS can be followed from your ActivityPub account, meaning that you can always keep up to date with research, even when the researcher does not have a fediverse account. Encyclia is currently still in pre-alpha, and not yet available for use by the public.
This weekend was the SXSW festival, and Flipboard hosted the Fediverse House, with quite some well-known names within the fediverse community, as well as representatives from Bluesky and Threads, as well. There does not seem to be recordings available, but Jeff Sikes was there and had a good live blog if you want to also experience some FOMO.
In my recent updates on Bluesky and ATProto I talk about how Bluesky is increasingly becoming a political actor, due to the presence of various high-profile people who are actively speaking out against the Trump/Musk regime. This impact so far is less visible on the fediverse, as there are no politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using the platform to speak out. But resistance does not only come from high-profile individuals, it comes from people on the ground that organise themselves. To that end, Jon Pincus wrote two articles on organising on the fediverse: If not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses, the ATmosphere, and whatever comes next has an overview of the current state of the networks in relation to organising. Notes (and thoughts) on organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere has a lot more practical details, examening various softwares that can be used in practice. Both articles are great sources of information to get more practical details for people who are considering using decentralised social networks.
Decentralized Social Networks & WordPress with Alex Kirk. The Open Web Conversations has a new Fediverse series, hosted by WordPress ActivityPub plugin creator Matthias Pfefferle. They discuss talk about how a WordPress blog can be build into a full decentralised social networking node with the Friends plugin by Kirk and the ActivityPub plugin by Pfefferle.
Standards War? – Robert W. Gehl. Gehl compares IFTAS’ funding struggles with the Free Our Feeds campaign, who are raising money to build alternative ATProto infrastructure, and describes it as an illustration of the emerging standards war between ActivityPub and ATProto.
A Long-Shot Bet to Bypass the Middlemen of Social Media – John Markoff/New York Times. The NYT interviews Flipboard’s CEO Mike McCue to talk about how the company is using building a new decentralised social web with Flipboard and timeline app Surf.
The Software Sessions podcast did an interview with Hong Minhee. Hong is the developer for ActivityPub framework Fedify, as well as Hollo, a single-user microblogging platform.

There's no perfect way to do "Comment with Mastodon" for external websites, because #Mastodon is not meant for this.
Mastodon is designed to be a social media, not a universal login. The servers are meant to save posts, not comments.
#ActivityPub is not designed to have one universal ID for the whole #fediverse, but more like an ID for each app you use (Mastodon, Pixelfeld, Lemmy, etc.). The ID and the application layers are not separated.
Would separating them be a good idea?

One thing that doesn't get much attention in the EU vs. US jostling over control of the social web, is the huge number of people in Asian countries running fediverse servers.
A huge chunk of the fediverse is writing in Chinese characters, or Japanese or Korean, or in the trade languages of the Indian subcontinent. Yet I've seen no formal participation from those communities in fediverse Dev chatter.
How can we internationalise fediverse Dev? Is it language barriers? Cultural ones?

@fedify@hollo.social
Got an interesting question today about #Fedify's outgoing #queue design!
Some users noticed we create separate queue messages for each recipient inbox rather than queuing a single message and handling the splitting later. There's a good reason for this approach.
In the #fediverse, server response times vary dramatically—some respond quickly, others slowly, and some might be temporarily down. If we processed deliveries in a single task, the entire batch would be held up by the slowest server in the group.
By creating individual queue items for each recipient:
It's a classic trade-off: we generate more queue messages, but gain better resilience and user experience in return.
This is particularly important in federated networks where server behavior is unpredictable and outside our control. We'd rather optimize for making sure your posts reach their destinations as quickly as possible!
What other aspects of Fedify's design would you like to hear about? Let us know!

Regarding when @jasonkoebler was talking about Twitter threads going viral versus writing it as article on web-site —
With the Fediverse, you can make the articles on your web-site appear as a post on the Fediverse.
So, the article on your web-site can be boosted, etc
There are some Fediverse software that already does it — WriteFreely, WordPress, etc.
But, you could also roll-your-own solution.

Moving servers on the Fediverse should be as easy as moving between mobile providers — where all the people who had you in their contact list don't even know, and everything just works.

Oh nice, with the latest Mastodon update (shout-out to @Claire!), we should start seeing proper capitalization of hashtags more often.

🚨 BOOST CHALLENGE! 🚨Ok #Fediverse and #Mastodon. If I tell my Canadian Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, that he will get 2000 followers within one week of creating a Mastodon account, will you make that happen?
I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the #e4769 petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!
Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏

Couple of things regarding paying creators for access in the #Fediverse:
The PeerTube extension allowing Stripe payments: https://github.com/kontrollanten/peertube-plugin-premium-users/
FEP for limiting visibility to authenticated actors: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/7502/fep-7502.md
FEP for Payment Links: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/0ea0/fep-0ea0.md
Theoretically, you could use 2 and 3 together as part of a service. #FediverseHouse

Here's a screenshot from another verifying that @reiver's robin.live -- as demo'ed yesterday at the #FediverseHouse developer meetup hosted by @socialwebfdn
-- ignores consent.
At a session I led at #FediForum last year there was talk about how unfortunate it is that we keep having blowups when developers ignore consent. As I pointed out, fediverse influencers with big platforms could help here by highlighting how many people in the fediverse value consent, and that there are some obvious steps to take to avoid a firestorm -- like, y'know, RESPECTING PEOPLE'S ALREADY-SET PREFERENCES.

Nice!
@techlifeweb@indieweb.social
If I find an interesting post on another instance, say via RSS or someone sends me a link, and I then decide I want to interact with the post (e.g., Like, Repost) I'm greeted with "<snipped nice greeting> You are not logged in to this server. Where is your account hosted?" That's the nature of decentralization but it is a rough edge. Are there any browser plugins or other ideas to smooth that edge? #Mastodon #fediverse

Got an interesting question today about #Fedify's outgoing #queue design!
Some users noticed we create separate queue messages for each recipient inbox rather than queuing a single message and handling the splitting later. There's a good reason for this approach.
In the #fediverse, server response times vary dramatically—some respond quickly, others slowly, and some might be temporarily down. If we processed deliveries in a single task, the entire batch would be held up by the slowest server in the group.
By creating individual queue items for each recipient:
It's a classic trade-off: we generate more queue messages, but gain better resilience and user experience in return.
This is particularly important in federated networks where server behavior is unpredictable and outside our control. We'd rather optimize for making sure your posts reach their destinations as quickly as possible!
What other aspects of Fedify's design would you like to hear about? Let us know!

Is any one looking into / thinking about publishing static site content via #activitypub , as @mapache has described in:
https://maho.dev/2024/11/a-guide-to-implementing-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website-part-7/
- but utilising @fedify ?
Content from static site generators like #faircamp and #hyper8 by @freebliss is easy to host, long term, but while one would be inclined to host more dynamic services, it would be great to have a kind of (general purpose) layer that could pick up newly published, static content and notify the #fediverse

You can set the language for your toot in its settings, usually next to the button for making posts private.
Please always set your posts to the correct language!
This helps us in several ways:
* Allows filtering for posts in languages we do not understand.
* Allows the use of automatic translation software.
* Helps screen reader software select the correct voice engines.

What is Fedify?#Fedify is an #ActivityPub-based federated server framework that helps developers easily integrate their applications with the #fediverse, a decentralized social network. It simplifies the complex implementation of the ActivityPub protocol, significantly reducing development time. Fedify is an open-source project available under the MIT license.
Various projects are already leveraging Fedify:
If you're considering implementing ActivityPub or wish to collaborate with the Fedify project, please get in touch:
We're excited to explore customized collaboration opportunities that align with your requirements and goals.

I don't take what I am about to ask lightly.

I either want something that can make suggestions, or something I can record/review my own stuff and used to remind myself later.
It sort of feels like there should be a fediverse alternative. And don’t say Tripadvisor it’s a pile of tosh.

I find following Lemmy discussions from Mastodon easy on desktop, though it involves a lot of copy-pasting. On mobile, it's even more frustrating.

As much as I love #Mastodon, I know it's not going to be as big as platforms like #Threads and #Bluesky, and that's okay. The #Fediverse has always been more community-focused rather than a shouty megaphone. #Bluesky and #Threads can serve as that megaphone that #Twitter left behind, whereas the #Fediverse can offer an calmer alternative without the pressure of algorithms.

@hongminhee@hollo.social
Just published a post about Hackers' Pub's unique username change policy! Unlike most #fediverse platforms, they allow a one-time username change while preserving your connections and content history. It's all possible thanks to some clever #ActivityPub implementation using UUID-based actor URIs instead of username-based ones. If you're interested in trying it out, the platform is currently in invitation-only beta—check the post for details on how to request access!
https://hackers.pub/@hongminhee/2025/hackers-pub-introduces-flexible-username-changes
@hongminhee@hackers.pub
Hackers' Pub is a community-focused platform where programmers and technology enthusiasts share knowledge and experiences. As an ActivityPub-enabled social network, it allows users to connect with others across the broader fediverse ecosystem, bringing technical discussions and insights directly to followers' feeds.
In the fediverse landscape, your username is typically set in stone once chosen. Most ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others enforce this permanence as a fundamental design principle. However, Hackers' Pub is charting a different course with a more flexible approach to digital identity.
Unlike most fediverse platforms, Hackers' Pub now allows users to change their username (the part before the @ in your Fediverse handle) exactly once during the lifetime of their account. This policy acknowledges that people grow, interests evolve, and the username that seemed perfect when you joined might not represent who you are today.
This one-time change limit strikes a careful balance—offering flexibility while maintaining the stability and reliability that's essential for a federated network.
When you change your username on Hackers' Pub, your previous username becomes available for other users to claim. This recycling mechanism creates new opportunities for meaningful usernames to find their most fitting owners, rather than remaining permanently locked to accounts that no longer use them.
For newcomers to the platform, this means a wider selection of desirable usernames might become available over time—something virtually unheard of in the traditional fediverse ecosystem.
Worried about broken links after changing your username? Hackers' Pub has implemented a thoughtful solution. All permalinks containing your original username will continue to function until someone else claims that username. This approach helps preserve the web of connections and conversations that make the fediverse valuable.
This temporary preservation period gives your connections time to adjust to your new identity while preventing immediate link rot across the federation.
What enables Hackers' Pub to offer username changes while other fediverse platforms can't? The answer lies in how actor identities are implemented at the protocol level.
Hackers' Pub uses UUID-based actor URIs that don't contain the username. For example, a user with handle @hongminhee has an underlying ActivityPub actor URI that looks like https://hackers.pub/ap/actors/019382d3-63d7-7cf7-86e8-91e2551c306c. Since the username isn't part of this permanent identifier, it can be changed without breaking federation connections.
This contrasts sharply with platforms like Mastodon, where a user @hongminhee has an actor URI of https://mastodon.social/users/hongminhee. With the username embedded directly in the URI, changing it would break all federation connections, which is why these platforms don't allow username changes.
This architectural choice gives Hackers' Pub the technical flexibility to implement username changes while maintaining account continuity across the fediverse.
Those familiar with GitHub might recognize this model—Hackers' Pub has adapted GitHub's username change policy for the fediverse context. This approach brings the best of both worlds: the option for identity evolution from centralized platforms and the federation benefits of the fediverse.
For Hackers' Pub users, this policy offers a significant advantage over other fediverse instances:
Hackers' Pub's username policy represents an interesting experiment in the fediverse—testing whether more flexible identity management can coexist with the stability needed for federation. If successful, we might see other platforms adopt similar approaches, creating a more adaptable yet still interconnected social web.
For now, users should consider this policy a compelling reason to choose Hackers' Pub as their fediverse home, especially if username flexibility matters to their online experience.
Hackers' Pub is currently in invitation-only beta. If you're interested in trying out the platform and its unique username policy, please leave your email address in the comments below. We'll add you to the allowlist, enabling you to sign up directly on the website. Note that this doesn't involve sending invitation emails—your address will simply be approved for registration when you visit the signup page.

Good morning #Fediverse friendos! How are you today?
@BjoernBeck@amt.social
Tag 6 im #Fediverse läuft. Ich habe gestern mit Wordpress gespielt und mir eine Instanz unter Digitalstaat.de aufgesetzt. Im Grunde finde ich es schön, meine Beiträge dort auch absetzen zu können, so dass sie öffentlich für jeden über das Web zugänglich sind.
Was mir extrem gut gefällt ist Mastodon mit 3.000 Zeichen. Ich bin eben sehr geprägt durch Linkedin und finde es super, meine Beiträge in beide Netzwerke stellen zu können.
Habe mir auch Testaccounts für X, Threads und Bluesky angelegt. Nach meinen 6 Tagen mit Mastodon muss ich sagen: Ich finde es hier am inzwischen am schönsten, jetzt rein auf die Technik bezogen. Es ist zwar eine steile Lernkurve, aber wenn man mal drin ist, hat man viele Freiheiten.
Vermutlich werde ich jetzt erstmal mit Wordpress, Linkedin und Mastodon weitermachen und dort jeweils dieselben Beiträge verwenden.
Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage, wie wir mehr #Amtfluencer auf #Mastodon bekommen.

Is there a #fediverse version of an event management system?
Where you publish public and/or closed events with the available seat count and people could sign up as long as there are empty spots available, with an optional wait list, and the system would send a calendar invite or offer one to be downloaded.
And ideally send a notification on the fediverse when the even is about to start.
Or anything similar available as open-source or self-hosted for free?
Tagging @jerry in hope of a boost.

Just published a post about Hackers' Pub's unique username change policy! Unlike most #fediverse platforms, they allow a one-time username change while preserving your connections and content history. It's all possible thanks to some clever #ActivityPub implementation using UUID-based actor URIs instead of username-based ones. If you're interested in trying it out, the platform is currently in invitation-only beta—check the post for details on how to request access!

@hongminhee@hackers.pub
Hackers' Pub is a community-focused platform where programmers and technology enthusiasts share knowledge and experiences. As an ActivityPub-enabled social network, it allows users to connect with others across the broader fediverse ecosystem, bringing technical discussions and insights directly to followers' feeds.
In the fediverse landscape, your username is typically set in stone once chosen. Most ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others enforce this permanence as a fundamental design principle. However, Hackers' Pub is charting a different course with a more flexible approach to digital identity.
Unlike most fediverse platforms, Hackers' Pub now allows users to change their username (the part before the @ in your Fediverse handle) exactly once during the lifetime of their account. This policy acknowledges that people grow, interests evolve, and the username that seemed perfect when you joined might not represent who you are today.
This one-time change limit strikes a careful balance—offering flexibility while maintaining the stability and reliability that's essential for a federated network.
When you change your username on Hackers' Pub, your previous username becomes available for other users to claim. This recycling mechanism creates new opportunities for meaningful usernames to find their most fitting owners, rather than remaining permanently locked to accounts that no longer use them.
For newcomers to the platform, this means a wider selection of desirable usernames might become available over time—something virtually unheard of in the traditional fediverse ecosystem.
Worried about broken links after changing your username? Hackers' Pub has implemented a thoughtful solution. All permalinks containing your original username will continue to function until someone else claims that username. This approach helps preserve the web of connections and conversations that make the fediverse valuable.
This temporary preservation period gives your connections time to adjust to your new identity while preventing immediate link rot across the federation.
What enables Hackers' Pub to offer username changes while other fediverse platforms can't? The answer lies in how actor identities are implemented at the protocol level.
Hackers' Pub uses UUID-based actor URIs that don't contain the username. For example, a user with handle @hongminhee has an underlying ActivityPub actor URI that looks like https://hackers.pub/ap/actors/019382d3-63d7-7cf7-86e8-91e2551c306c. Since the username isn't part of this permanent identifier, it can be changed without breaking federation connections.

Fediverse Report #106
IFTAS is shutting down most of their services following a lack of funding, and Tumblr-like platform Wafrn now has its own apps, and a Bluesky integration to boot.
The fediverse trust and safety organisation IFTAS has announced it is shutting down most of its services, following a lack of funding. Last month the organisation said that they would soon run out of funding, and that they’d do a final effort at getting structural funds for the organisation. This has not happened, and now IFTAS will shut down most of their services. The biggest project to be shut down is IFTAS’ Content Classification Service, a service which handled CSAM scanning and reporting for fediverse servers. When fediverse server admins encounter CSAM, most countries have mandatory reporting requirements that admins are obliged to follow. Another project that is shutting down is FediCheck, which provides shared deny lists that server could use to build their own deny lists for their servers.
IFTAS shutting down their services is a double blow to the fediverse. The obvious one is that functions like IFTAS’ Content Classification Service were aiming to provide a service that filled an crucial gap in the operations of many fediverse servers. Scanning for CSAM, and handling the legal requirements on reporting to the relevant agencies is a challenging task for server admins to execute, and many fediverse servers do not have good procedures in place to handle this delicate process. IFTAS’ CCS would have provided a way for smaller fediverse server to handle the legal obligations they have regarding handling CSAM.
The second blow to the fediverse is in that IFTAS fills an important role in building a collaborative structure for moderation across fediverse servers. The fediverse is a network of independent places (servers), and while they are interconnected on a technical level via a protocol, building connections between servers for collaborations is proving to be much harder. Over the years there have been many suggestions and ideas on how fediverse servers could work together, for example regarding on sharing information on which servers to block. These conversations currently take place mainly via admin backchannels or via the #fediblock hashtag, and a more structural interface could help streamline this process. For such a process to work trust is needed between fediverse server admins to participate with such infrastructure. IFTAS, as a grassroots fediverse organisation, is one of the best-placed organisations to have build trust and provide a nexus around which such infrastructure could be build. IFTAS got pretty far with their rollout of FediCheck, which was building such a place for collaboration between server admins. Now that IFTAS will not be the center around which shared moderation infrastructure can be build, will there be another organisation in the future to do so? Especially when IFTAS found out that getting funding for such a project is so difficult?
Fediverse platform Wafrn has announced they now have apps for Android and iOS available in testing. I have not talked about Wafrn much, but it is one of the more interesting fediverse platforms that is currently being worked on. Wafrn is a Tumblr-inspired platform that clearly does not take itself too seriously: the name stands for “We Allow Female Representing Nipples“. It is a reference to a decision by Tumblr to ban adult content, and they used the phrase “Female-presenting Nipples” in their community guidelines which became a target of ridicule. Wafrn has a variety of unique features, such as a place to ask and answer questions for the Wafrn community. The most standout feature of Wafrn however is a native integration of both ActivityPub and ATProto. A Wafrn account allows you to have a full connection with the fediverse, as well as with Bluesky. On the fediverse, your account is visible as @name@app.wafrn.net, while on Bluesky your account is visible as @name.at.wafrn.net. Because this is not a bridge, and instead a native integration, a Wafrn account can interact with any Bluesky and fediverse account, other accounts are not required to opt-in in order to connect. In a real way, this means that Bluesky is now indeed federated, it just took an app called “We Allow Female Representing Nipples” to get there.
Link aggregator platform PieFed has added support for feeds. Feeds on PieFed are similar to how multi-reddits work on Reddit: it allows you to create a custom feed that displays posts from multiple communities. Feeds can also be shared, allowing people to follow a feed that others have created. Feeds on PieFed are somewhat similar to their Topics feature. Topics are also a collection of multiple fediverse communities around a certain theme. The main difference between topics and feeds is that topics are created by the server owner, and set for the entire server. With feeds, anyone can create and share one, and you can also follow feeds from other PieFed servers.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

I have figured out that the only way I can actually move forward with the #fediverse and #digitalsovreignty in #Norway is to write about it.
That is, I am considering making a guide called "The accelerationist guide to digital sovreignty" - in #Norwegian of course, and then in #English.
I think the drip feed of changes that's been going on and that is supposedly "the best approach" is lowballing the situation. The problem is real big, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously.

Just published a post about Hackers' Pub's unique username change policy! Unlike most #fediverse platforms, they allow a one-time username change while preserving your connections and content history. It's all possible thanks to some clever #ActivityPub implementation using UUID-based actor URIs instead of username-based ones. If you're interested in trying it out, the platform is currently in invitation-only beta—check the post for details on how to request access!

@hongminhee@hackers.pub
Hackers' Pub is a community-focused platform where programmers and technology enthusiasts share knowledge and experiences. As an ActivityPub-enabled social network, it allows users to connect with others across the broader fediverse ecosystem, bringing technical discussions and insights directly to followers' feeds.
In the fediverse landscape, your username is typically set in stone once chosen. Most ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others enforce this permanence as a fundamental design principle. However, Hackers' Pub is charting a different course with a more flexible approach to digital identity.
Unlike most fediverse platforms, Hackers' Pub now allows users to change their username (the part before the @ in your Fediverse handle) exactly once during the lifetime of their account. This policy acknowledges that people grow, interests evolve, and the username that seemed perfect when you joined might not represent who you are today.
This one-time change limit strikes a careful balance—offering flexibility while maintaining the stability and reliability that's essential for a federated network.
When you change your username on Hackers' Pub, your previous username becomes available for other users to claim. This recycling mechanism creates new opportunities for meaningful usernames to find their most fitting owners, rather than remaining permanently locked to accounts that no longer use them.
For newcomers to the platform, this means a wider selection of desirable usernames might become available over time—something virtually unheard of in the traditional fediverse ecosystem.
Worried about broken links after changing your username? Hackers' Pub has implemented a thoughtful solution. All permalinks containing your original username will continue to function until someone else claims that username. This approach helps preserve the web of connections and conversations that make the fediverse valuable.
This temporary preservation period gives your connections time to adjust to your new identity while preventing immediate link rot across the federation.
What enables Hackers' Pub to offer username changes while other fediverse platforms can't? The answer lies in how actor identities are implemented at the protocol level.
Hackers' Pub uses UUID-based actor URIs that don't contain the username. For example, a user with handle @hongminhee has an underlying ActivityPub actor URI that looks like https://hackers.pub/ap/actors/019382d3-63d7-7cf7-86e8-91e2551c306c. Since the username isn't part of this permanent identifier, it can be changed without breaking federation connections.
This contrasts sharply with platforms like Mastodon, where a user @hongminhee has an actor URI of https://mastodon.social/users/hongminhee. With the username embedded directly in the URI, changing it would break all federation connections, which is why these platforms don't allow username changes.
This architectural choice gives Hackers' Pub the technical flexibility to implement username changes while maintaining account continuity across the fediverse.
Those familiar with GitHub might recognize this model—Hackers' Pub has adapted GitHub's username change policy for the fediverse context. This approach brings the best of both worlds: the option for identity evolution from centralized platforms and the federation benefits of the fediverse.
For Hackers' Pub users, this policy offers a significant advantage over other fediverse instances:
Hackers' Pub's username policy represents an interesting experiment in the fediverse—testing whether more flexible identity management can coexist with the stability needed for federation. If successful, we might see other platforms adopt similar approaches, creating a more adaptable yet still interconnected social web.
For now, users should consider this policy a compelling reason to choose Hackers' Pub as their fediverse home, especially if username flexibility matters to their online experience.
Hackers' Pub is currently in invitation-only beta. If you're interested in trying out the platform and its unique username policy, please leave your email address in the comments below. We'll add you to the allowlist, enabling you to sign up directly on the website. Note that this doesn't involve sending invitation emails—your address will simply be approved for registration when you visit the signup page.

#Decentralization-wise we should all spin up single-person instances on the #Fediverse, right?
I find that a ridiculous notion. It fits well with this definition of IT:
Turn simple stuff into Rube Goldberg machines.
Want a basic "Hello world" app or website? Just spin up Google-scale infra and an entangled mess of tools and technologies.
"Here, have your own twitter platform clone so you can send 500-char msgs".
Tech complexity 'progresses' to keep our computers slow, and #usability meagre.

Beta Testers!!! Join the #TidySearch network? (No matter how much I want to, TS is not going to censor (filter out) websites, even the corporate ones).
I think #TidyBot is ready for beta testing. I have 2 in house servers and 2 outside servers that are collecting indexes. I'd love to have other versions/program formats but I've got a working system with PHP8.4/ MariaDB10.11.6 on Debian 12 systems.....
Join the real freedom of information and *Take the Internet back* from the corporations!!!!
Update: Fixed a few more bugs including a security issue. Scanning websites, even started indexing up #Fediverse people 😲
Please help find beta testers by boosting this 🤞🤔

Unlike most #fediverse platforms, they allow a one-time username change while preserving your connections and content history. It's all possible thanks to some clever #ActivityPub implementation using UUID-based actor URIs instead of username-based ones. If you're interested in trying it out, the platform is currently in invitation-only beta—check the post for details on how to request access!

@hongminhee@hackers.pub
Hackers' Pub is a community-focused platform where programmers and technology enthusiasts share knowledge and experiences. As an ActivityPub-enabled social network, it allows users to connect with others across the broader fediverse ecosystem, bringing technical discussions and insights directly to followers' feeds.
In the fediverse landscape, your username is typically set in stone once chosen. Most ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others enforce this permanence as a fundamental design principle. However, Hackers' Pub is charting a different course with a more flexible approach to digital identity.
Unlike most fediverse platforms, Hackers' Pub now allows users to change their username (the part before the @ in your Fediverse handle) exactly once during the lifetime of their account. This policy acknowledges that people grow, interests evolve, and the username that seemed perfect when you joined might not represent who you are today.
This one-time change limit strikes a careful balance—offering flexibility while maintaining the stability and reliability that's essential for a federated network.
When you change your username on Hackers' Pub, your previous username becomes available for other users to claim. This recycling mechanism creates new opportunities for meaningful usernames to find their most fitting owners, rather than remaining permanently locked to accounts that no longer use them.
For newcomers to the platform, this means a wider selection of desirable usernames might become available over time—something virtually unheard of in the traditional fediverse ecosystem.
Worried about broken links after changing your username? Hackers' Pub has implemented a thoughtful solution. All permalinks containing your original username will continue to function until someone else claims that username. This approach helps preserve the web of connections and conversations that make the fediverse valuable.
This temporary preservation period gives your connections time to adjust to your new identity while preventing immediate link rot across the federation.
What enables Hackers' Pub to offer username changes while other fediverse platforms can't? The answer lies in how actor identities are implemented at the protocol level.
Hackers' Pub uses UUID-based actor URIs that don't contain the username. For example, a user with handle @hongminhee has an underlying ActivityPub actor URI that looks like https://hackers.pub/ap/actors/019382d3-63d7-7cf7-86e8-91e2551c306c. Since the username isn't part of this permanent identifier, it can be changed without breaking federation connections.
This contrasts sharply with platforms like Mastodon, where a user @hongminhee has an actor URI of https://mastodon.social/users/hongminhee. With the username embedded directly in the URI, changing it would break all federation connections, which is why these platforms don't allow username changes.
This architectural choice gives Hackers' Pub the technical flexibility to implement username changes while maintaining account continuity across the fediverse.
Those familiar with GitHub might recognize this model—Hackers' Pub has adapted GitHub's username change policy for the fediverse context. This approach brings the best of both worlds: the option for identity evolution from centralized platforms and the federation benefits of the fediverse.
For Hackers' Pub users, this policy offers a significant advantage over other fediverse instances:
Hackers' Pub's username policy represents an interesting experiment in the fediverse—testing whether more flexible identity management can coexist with the stability needed for federation. If successful, we might see other platforms adopt similar approaches, creating a more adaptable yet still interconnected social web.
For now, users should consider this policy a compelling reason to choose Hackers' Pub as their fediverse home, especially if username flexibility matters to their online experience.
Hackers' Pub is currently in invitation-only beta. If you're interested in trying out the platform and its unique username policy, please leave your email address in the comments below. We'll add you to the allowlist, enabling you to sign up directly on the website. Note that this doesn't involve sending invitation emails—your address will simply be approved for registration when you visit the signup page.
@BeAware@mementomori.social
Hi, I'm BeAware, sometimes I abbreviate it, BA. I just migrated here from my own instance because Mastodon updates have surpassed my Linux knowledge. Therefore, to save some headache, I decided the best option would be to move to an instance owned by someone I trust. So this is my new home 
I am VERY passionate about decentralized systems like #ActivityPub and #Nostr and tend to discuss these topics at length. Especially the nuances of each and try to keep up with all the things regarding them.
I have #ADHD and #Hydrocephalus, which effects various aspects of my day to day life and how I think. I am also on disability because of it.
I am also very #AI-positive because it helps me with every day life. With my brain disorders, I don't think the same way others do, so AI helps me with describing things accurately and to make sure I get my point across in the way I mean to. I also tend to post #AIart from time to time to realize my creativity.
I'm a #Gamer that primarily plays PC games or games that are Cross Platform. Generally I enjoy #MMORPG, #SurvivalGames and such where I can just "zone out" and vibe without much stress.
Sometimes you'll see me discuss #Technology news as well.
If these seem to be within your interests, feel free to follow and if you have similar interests laid out in your bio, chances are good that ill follow back.
I've been here for a year and this is, by far, my favorite social media platform I've ever been on.
Thank for reading and may you be as federated as you wish!
Sincerely,
B.A.

I used to have Starlink at my cabin. At the time I got it, there was not a lot of other options. This is before Elon went fully rogue.
I cancelled my Starlink subscription last year and I am happier with my decision every day.

@newyorktimes's veteran tech reporter @Markoff interviewed some of #TeamFediverse including @Gargron, @reckless1280 and our CEO @mike for a feature on the rise of decentralized social media. “It goes back to the original principles where the internet started out as decentralized,” Eugen Rochko told Markoff. Here's the full story [may be paywalled].
We're so excited to develop these conversations further at SXSW this weekend — check out the itinerary and sign up to join us at #FediverseHouse at the second link.

I used to have Starlink at my cabin. At the time I got it, there was not a lot of other options. This is before Elon went fully rogue.
I cancelled my Starlink subscription last year and I am happier with my decision every day.
I never have had a Tesla and I never will.

A banality just occured to me. I love when that happens. It often signals something important stirring inside. It is that there's no position from which you can see all of the #Fediverse. Donna #Haraway calls it the god's eye view. Instead, knowledges are "situated" - specific servers from which you see something particular, not everything. It is baked into the protocol. The task now is to unlearn the paradigm of #surveillancecapitalism, care for our worlds and build bridges between them.

The OpenPortability.org platform helps in the collective migration from Twitter to Mastodon.
In a few easy steps you connect your X and your Mastodon account, and the tool helps you reconnect with your contacts. As that's a challenge: find your contacts who were previously on Twitter and reconnect to them at the #Fediverse
OpenPortability started as @helloQuitX by the French CNRS. In many countries collective campaigns are joining to translate this practical tool.
The Great Reconnect!

I have figured out that the only way I can actually move forward with the #fediverse and #digitalsovreignty in #Norway is to write about it.
That is, I am considering making a guide called "The accelerationist guide to digital sovreignty" - in #Norwegian of course, and then in #English.
I think the drip feed of changes that's been going on and that is supposedly "the best approach" is lowballing the situation. The problem is real big, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously.

Can I block or hide an entire instance? I don't think I have the receipts to argue this instance block them entirely, but a specific server full of degenerates is making my corner of the #Fediverse less good. @FediTips

You like the #Fediverse and would like to contribute, but don't quite know where and how to get involved?
Consider coming to #FediForum, where people from lots of interesting projects come together every six months to talk about current challenges and the way forward. A great way to meet people, projects and get involved!
You don't need to be a developer, many challenges have nothing to do with code!
The next FediForum is coming up April 1-2, online. Check it out! https://fediforum.org

Blueskyとも繋がれるActivityPubのブラットフォーム『WAFRN』に登録してみました〜。
https://app.wafrn.net/blog/tukine
カスタム絵文字や絵文字リアクションも使えて、Fedibirdと相互に絵文字リアクションを送れます。
ただWAFRNから送ったリアクションを取り消そうとするとエラーになって取り消せなかったので、これが不具合なのか仕様なのかは未確認。
公開範囲はお馴染みの「公開」「フォロワー限定」「未収載」「DM」の他に、「This instance only」というのがあって、多分これは連合なし投稿みたいなやつかな？（画像1枚目）
Blueskyに反映されるのは「公開」投稿のみ。
Blueskyに流れるようにするには設定の『Enable bluesky』ボタンを押して有効にする必要があります。（画像2枚目）
BlueskyからWAFRNのアカウントを見たスクリーンショットが画像3枚目。
ただBlueskyを有効にする設定ページの説明にもあるように、Blueskyとの連携はまだ開発中なので色々問題はあるけど頑張って取り組んでいるよ！って感じみたいです。

Je suis comédien formateur en #improvisation théâtrale, basé à #Toulouse après quelques années d'activité sur Paris. Je partagerai ici mes articles et réflexions sur l'impro, mais aussi peut-être des témoignages sur ma découverte du #fediverse à l'usage des amis qui tentent de migrer hors des grands réseaux !
C'est bien utile de se forger quelques repères sur un écosystème qui peut être déroutant pour les débutant·e·s.

I made it to Texas for the Fediverse House
Although, the airplane I was on almost crashed. There was a fierce wind at Austin AUS airport when we tried to land
The airplane touched down in Austin, and then almost immediately powered up the engines, and took off again
We ended up landing safely in San Antonio SAT airport. Although I wasn't sure we'd land there either — the wind was fierce there, too
I thanked the pilot of landing us safely

I'm finally unveiling the #ActivityPub project that has been consuming my weekends: Encyclia, an #ORCID bridge that will make ORCID records followable and interactable on the fediverse. 🙂
It's early-stage and the ORCID following function is not publicly available yet. We're seeking community feedback on functionality and safety aspects. Read more at https://encyclia.pub or follow @encyclia for news!

@daedalean Yeah, I haven't watched one painful second of this #sotu nonsense. Thank you to all the #fediverse live posters for shielding me.

Fediverse Report #106
IFTAS is shutting down most of their services following a lack of funding, and Tumblr-like platform Wafrn now has its own apps, and a Bluesky integration to boot.
The fediverse trust and safety organisation IFTAS has announced it is shutting down most of its services, following a lack of funding. Last month the organisation said that they would soon run out of funding, and that they’d do a final effort at getting structural funds for the organisation. This has not happened, and now IFTAS will shut down most of their services. The biggest project to be shut down is IFTAS’ Content Classification Service, a service which handled CSAM scanning and reporting for fediverse servers. When fediverse server admins encounter CSAM, most countries have mandatory reporting requirements that admins are obliged to follow. Another project that is shutting down is FediCheck, which provides shared deny lists that server could use to build their own deny lists for their servers.
IFTAS shutting down their services is a double blow to the fediverse. The obvious one is that functions like IFTAS’ Content Classification Service were aiming to provide a service that filled an crucial gap in the operations of many fediverse servers. Scanning for CSAM, and handling the legal requirements on reporting to the relevant agencies is a challenging task for server admins to execute, and many fediverse servers do not have good procedures in place to handle this delicate process. IFTAS’ CCS would have provided a way for smaller fediverse server to handle the legal obligations they have regarding handling CSAM.
The second blow to the fediverse is in that IFTAS fills an important role in building a collaborative structure for moderation across fediverse servers. The fediverse is a network of independent places (servers), and while they are interconnected on a technical level via a protocol, building connections between servers for collaborations is proving to be much harder. Over the years there have been many suggestions and ideas on how fediverse servers could work together, for example regarding on sharing information on which servers to block. These conversations currently take place mainly via admin backchannels or via the #fediblock hashtag, and a more structural interface could help streamline this process. For such a process to work trust is needed between fediverse server admins to participate with such infrastructure. IFTAS, as a grassroots fediverse organisation, is one of the best-placed organisations to have build trust and provide a nexus around which such infrastructure could be build. IFTAS got pretty far with their rollout of FediCheck, which was building such a place for collaboration between server admins. Now that IFTAS will not be the center around which shared moderation infrastructure can be build, will there be another organisation in the future to do so? Especially when IFTAS found out that getting funding for such a project is so difficult?
Fediverse platform Wafrn has announced they now have apps for Android and iOS available in testing. I have not talked about Wafrn much, but it is one of the more interesting fediverse platforms that is currently being worked on. Wafrn is a Tumblr-inspired platform that clearly does not take itself too seriously: the name stands for “We Allow Female Representing Nipples“. It is a reference to a decision by Tumblr to ban adult content, and they used the phrase “Female-presenting Nipples” in their community guidelines which became a target of ridicule. Wafrn has a variety of unique features, such as a place to ask and answer questions for the Wafrn community. The most standout feature of Wafrn however is a native integration of both ActivityPub and ATProto. A Wafrn account allows you to have a full connection with the fediverse, as well as with Bluesky. On the fediverse, your account is visible as @name@app.wafrn.net, while on Bluesky your account is visible as @name.at.wafrn.net. Because this is not a bridge, and instead a native integration, a Wafrn account can interact with any Bluesky and fediverse account, other accounts are not required to opt-in in order to connect. In a real way, this means that Bluesky is now indeed federated, it just took an app called “We Allow Female Representing Nipples” to get there.
Link aggregator platform PieFed has added support for feeds. Feeds on PieFed are similar to how multi-reddits work on Reddit: it allows you to create a custom feed that displays posts from multiple communities. Feeds can also be shared, allowing people to follow a feed that others have created. Feeds on PieFed are somewhat similar to their Topics feature. Topics are also a collection of multiple fediverse communities around a certain theme. The main difference between topics and feeds is that topics are created by the server owner, and set for the entire server. With feeds, anyone can create and share one, and you can also follow feeds from other PieFed servers.

Eine Frage an die #fediverse Profis:
In pixelfed.social erscheinen alle Beiträge mit Fotos aus einem Mastodon Account, auch ohne das man bei pixelfed angemeldet ist.
Wenn man also einen Mastodon Account nutzt, welchen Vorteil hätte dann ein zusätzlicher pixelfed Account? Man erreicht die Plattform ja schon.

If the Secretary of State promises to act before 17 March, then small sites may well be saved, and more besides as people understand the new duties.
Action is needed – quickly!
If you're concerned, or impacted, then please email your MP (UK), asking that small, harmless sites are exempted from duties under the Online Safety Act, before they're closed down.

Faced with fines under the UK Online Safety Act, dozens of harmless, safe, small websites will shut down by the 17 March deadline. This is a threat to net plurality and federated social media!
The Secretary of State has powers to change the categorisation of sites under the OSA.
The UK government must act quickly to exempt small and harmless sites that don't experience problems.

Hi, I am Mike!
I decided to write a small #introduction, as I take my first steps as an artist on the fediverse.
I am a songwriter and a singer in my 20s. Originally I come from Poland, where I lived for the most of my life and then I made a choice to move to Austria.
Since the school, I've been writing songs and sharing them with my friends. I never had the courage to do anything more - publishing for everyone to listen felt too much and out of reach. I guess I didn't feel ready.
Couple of years ago I got into music production and decided to self-make my songs into what you can find now on streaming platforms. It's really cool nowadays, to have an opportunity to share my work, my music with you.
I've been on the mainstream social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram since always, but last years I didn't feel happy using them at all. I know, that a lot of people feel the same way, but since "everyone is there", they can't escape. Now I am following my fav saying - "be the change" - and making a hop to Fediverse in hope to find some like-minded people, who may enjoy the music and what I write.
I am looking forward to what my future on the Fediverse brings and what people will I stumble upon my journey.
Thanks for reading all of that. I wish you all the best ❤️
Regards,
Mike

An intriguing new project by @raphael provides a pluggable #django app with the models, views and background tasks to let any django application integrate with any other service that uses #ActivityPub
Enabling popular "generic" web platforms like django, laravel etc. to integrate with the #fediverse complements the development of plugins for more specific apps like #wordpress, #discourse etc. and the dedicated "social media" type servers like #mastodon and #pixelfed

Bunch of new followers today, welcome! I guess an #introduction is due, however I prefer to keep some stuff to myself. I'm someone who works with computers and has an affinity towards keeping teams cyber secure in their environments. I toot what I find interesting, I agree with, and once in a while they will be in different languages I speak or have a level of understanding. #FOSS, #OSINT, #Opensource, #fediverse, #cybersecurity #commonsense is something you frequently find here.

I #hashtag within my posts, but try to avoid overdoing it & only strategically to keep it focused. I know the ideal is to tag at the end, but #Mastodon caps at a lame ass 500 characters. So before you HOA ppl on how they're using the #fediverse (& further vindicate Bsky & Threads as hassle-free), maybe instead push for Mastodon to expand beyond 500 characters.

This is one of the problems with centralized social-media — that your entire online existence and self can be deleted, and often, there is nothing you can do about it
That you can be unpersoned.
On the Fediverse (and other decentralized social-media (DeSo)) — you can protect yourself from this. You can self-host, and own and control your online identity & online self.

Fediverse Report’s deep research on Deep Research’s fediverse report
ChatGPT recently released a new feature, called Deep Research, that allows ChatGPT to “use reasoning”, and process large amount of online information. In his newsletter Platformer, Casey Newton reported on the new ChatGPT’s new feature. To judge the quality and functionality of Deep Research, Newton prompted ChatGPT to output a report of 5k words using Deep Research, and compare this to a similar report made by Google’s Gemini. Notably for this blog, Newton asks ChatGPT for a report about how the fediverse could benefit publishers. A Fediverse Report, you could call it. Newton does not spend a lot of time analysing the results, saying that the output hits on the requirements of the prompt, and says that compared to Gemini, deep research “blows it out of the water”. Not all tech writers are as impressed with Deep Research, AI doomer king Ed Zitron wrote another long article, ‘The Generative AI Con’, in which Zitron pushes back against AI hype. He takes a Deep Research by reading through the same report that about the fediverse that Newton has published in Platformer. Zitron is not impressed by OpenAI’s new feature, saying that “the citations in this “deep research” are flimsy at best“, and that “this thing isn’t well-researched at all.“
A report on the fediverse is quite up the alley for a blog named Fediverse Report. So let’s do some deep research on Deep Research’s fediverse report. I’ll go over ChatGPT’s output in detail, analysing what information ChatGPT gives, and which information is missing.
ChatGPT’s output gets quite a lot of information correct, and more importantly, it structures the information well. It pulls in relevant examples, and also manages to find relevant obscure information. Deep Research’s ability to show what information the output is based on gives insight in how an LLM’s output gets constructed. It also allows the sources to be analysed, and it turns out there is a lot of interesting information you can learn by looking at the sources that Deep Research uses for the output. The report is also pretty well structured, and hits on most of the relevant points that publisher who is curious about the fediverse needs to know.
A common critique of LLMs is that they will give factually incorrect information, often simply called hallucinations. This problem is also visible in Deep Research’s output, it contains factual mistakes. The problem of factual (in)correctness of LLMs is well-known, and not a debate I want to rehash here. What I am interested in is the analysis and research part of Deep Research: which sources does the output use? Are those sources any good? And just as importantly: which relevant sources should have been part of the report, but aren’t? Judging if the output of an LLM is correct or incorrect is reasonably straightforward. But judging if the output of the LLM does not include information that reasonably should have been included is much harder. This goes doubly so for emerging fields like the fediverse, where there is no authoritative base of knowledge to rely upon.
In ChatGPT’s output that Newton uses to get a sense of the performance of Deep Research, I find that there are three types of issues relating to data and analysis. There are issues with the quality of the sources that ChatGPT cites, and there are sources missing that I expect to have been cited. But the most intriguing part for me is when ChatGPT cites a source correctly, but the resulting output is still lacking, because the needed information to get to a good understanding is not actually available on the internet.
One issue that Deep Research struggle with is with the quality of the data sources it cites. The clearest example is this specific Reddit post, which ChatGPT cites six different times as a source in the section on monetization in the fediverse. The post is titled ‘monetization’ and posted on /r/fediverse. This specific Reddit post is the second search result on Google, as well as Kagi and DuckDuckGo for the search query ‘fediverse monetization’.
ChatGPT heavily focuses on WebMonetization by Interledger in this section, and how it integrates with Castopod. Interledger is a (non-crypto) payment network that allows people to send microtransactions to creators. There is indeed an WebMonetization integration with Castopod, but ChatGPT’s output gives no indication of how unrepresentative this is for the fediverse. With respect to Castopod and Interledger and what they are building, WebMonetization is in no way any meaningful part of the fediverse. In fact, both organisations presented their integration in 2025 during FOSDEM. The room consisted of the most in-the-know in-crowd of fediverse developers, and as far as I can tell this potential fediverse integration with WebMonetization was new information for most if not all of them. ChatGPT provides a reasonable summary of the position of Interledger regarding monetization in their output, but the complete lack of context of how early in the adoption stage WebMonetization makes that the output does not represent the state of the fediverse, as it is currently used by most people, at all.
An article by TwipeMobile is the prime source that ChatGPT uses throughout the article. TwipeMobile is software development company that builds apps for newspapers. The company also publishes research papers about related topic, and one is called “What is the Fediverse? A guide for publishers and the uninitiated.” With a title like that it is no surprise that ChatGPT likes the article. The quality of the article is mediocre however, and it lives in the twilight zone where it is impossible to tell for sure whether the article is generated by an LLM or written by a human.
The TwipeMobile article has some major issues with factuality, and as a result, ChatGPT’s output suffers as well. This is especially noticeable in ChatGPT’s comparison between ActivityPub and ATProto. The TwipeMobile article describes ActivityPub as ‘widely adopted’ and having an ‘established user base’, and ATProto as early in its growth. The article was published on 6 December 2024, and at that date the fediverse had 1.1 million monthly active users, while Bluesky had around 11 million monthly active users. That ATProto is 10x the size in terms of active users compared to ActivityPub does not seem particularly clear from the language used in the TwipeMobile article, which seems to imply that ActivityPub is more active than ATProto. As ChatGPT’s output relies so heavily on TwipeMobile’s article, this misconception is reflected in ChatGPT’s advice as well, which describes ActivityPub as having an ‘established audience’ and ATProto as being in an ‘early growth stage’.
ChatGPT does miss a few relevant sources, that would help publishers get a good understanding of the state of the fediverse and whether the network is relevant for them. One source that is missing from ChatGPT’s output is regarding monetisation and sub.club. Sub.club was a platform that let fediverse creators offer paid subscriptions and premium content, using existing fediverse infrastructure. It allowed people to set up a fediverse account, to share content with the rest of the fediverse. Creators could then set a paywall on posts if they so wanted, and sub.club provided the payment infrastructure. Sub.club shut down in December 2024, only a few months after launched, and they managed to onboard only 150 people. For publishers that are interested in monetisation on the fediverse Sub.club’s struggle to gain traction is a relevant data point. Sub.club got a fair amount of media attention (1, 2) from well-known outlets, so there was not a lack of sources for ChatGPT to cite from.
Another example of sources that are not included in ChatGPT’s output is not only a matter of not linking to articles, the lines between ‘relevant information that is missing from ChatGPT’s output’ and ‘relevant information that is not covered in well-known news publications’ are thin. Some of the most relevant information that is missing in the output is also missing in articles that rank high in search engines. A notable example is the statistics that Heise editor Martin Holland regularly publishes, which compares traffic to their site from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and X over a longer time period. The original prompt by Newton asks for report on how the fediverse could benefit publishers, and traffic data time series is one of the best ways of showing the concrete benefits for publishers.
As best I can tell this data series is not published in news media, which explains why it does not show up. ChatGPT seems to prefer to use English-speaking sources. For example, there is no information on how ZDF, one of Germany’s largest public broadcasters, has had their own Mastodon server for years. Heise being a German news outlet also likely contributes to the data series is being not being reported on in English-speaking media, and not being found by ChatGPT.
One limitation that ChatGPT’s output has is that it is dependent on available information. But what if the information is not available online, nor a clear indication there is missing data at all? Let’s take a look at how ChatGPT describes Medium as an example for how publishers can use a Mastodon instance to amplify author’s reach. The output cites Medium’s announcement blog post and summarises the point of why Medium started their Mastodon server this correctly. On a surface level ChatGPT’s output is good: it found relevant information and summarised the important points.
What’s missing here is the follow-up: Medium launched their Mastodon more than 2 years ago. So did their plans actually work out? That seems pretty relevant information for a potential publisher to know. In 2024, Medium barely posted about their Mastodon server on their blog. CEO Tony Stubblebine mentions Medium’s Mastodon server once in his ‘State of Medium‘ post, also saying that he finds Threads to be a better place for self-promotion. Those two additional data points suggest that Medium’s experience with launching a Mastodon server is mixed: the me.dm server has 1.7k MAU, so it clearly provides some benefit to the Medium user base. But neither are there signals that it is an overwhelming success.
The issue here is that Medium (or anyone else) has not published an analysis or statement with a follow-up on Medium’s Mastodon server, to ask the question: “are the benefits of running a Mastodon server by a publishing platform good enough that it is recommended for other publishers to do so as well?” Newton’s original prompt asks for “high-level strategic analysis for a digital-native publisher”, and this is the type of analysis that is needed for a publisher to actually make a decision. For a publisher it is only knowing about the existence of a project is not the point, a publisher needs to know if that project is successful and if they should consider it as well. This type of analysis is hard for ChatGPT to properly execute: LLMs are fundamentally about processing data, and it cannot process data that doesn’t exist.
ChatGPT’s output on recommendation I find to be quite good. The first three points of advice – Establish an Authentic Presence, Integrate Your Website with ActivityPub, Engage with the Community- are quite good at a high level, and advice that I would give to publishers as well. The advice to “Stay Adaptive with Protocols” is also good advice, but the description is wrong on some pretty important parts. Then again, this is also because the quoted source (TwipeMobile again) is wrong on this, so at least ChatGPT cited a bad source correctly.
ChatGPT spends another section on discoverability and engagement, writing a comparison between ActivityPub and ATProto. It correctly notes that discoverability on the fediverse happens to community sharing and hashtags, and that ATProto has space for algorithmic discovery. ChatGPT’s tendency to equate both sides is in full play here: it does correctly say the difference between the networks, but refrains from making a material conclusion about it, describing them both as equal but different. Again, the biggest fault ChatGPT here is not in what it writes, but what it does not write. There is no information on that search is opt-in on the fediverse, that around 5% of accounts have opted into being discovered, and that as a result search and discovery works significantly less well on the fediverse than it does on Bluesky.
Finally, ChatGPT offers the advice to use “third-party analytics services to gauge engagement.” There are indeed tools available for analytics, but not all of them are easy to find, or to know which one to use. ChatGPT does not tell you which tools you can potentially use, instead offering very basic advice on tracking engagement. ChatGPT’s output would have been better here with some more ‘deep research’.
Another general note on ChatGPT’s output: Zitron does not like Deep Research’ tone of writing, and I agree with what he writes here: “I don’t like reading it! I don’t know how else to say this — there is something deeply unpleasant about how Deep Research reads! It’s uncanny valley, if the denizens of said valley were a bit dense and lazy. It’s quintessential LLM copy — soulless and almost, but not quite, right.”
Over the last years how you feel about LLMs and generative AI has quickly become an identity marker for many people, with opinions ranging from LLMs being the new way to build machine god to a torment nexus that is designed to strip workers of their power. For this article I am not aiming to argue for a specific position in the debate about the values and impacts of LLMs, and instead I’m aiming for a smaller goal. OpenAI released a new mode that says it can do deep research, and a prominent tech writer used a singular prompt to get a sense of how good this new mode this. This prompt happened to be on a subject field I do know something about. I wanted to know how much ‘deep research’ was in ChatGPT’s output, so to that end, I simply did some deep research of my own.

The first three points of advice – Establish an Authentic Presence, Integrate Your Website with ActivityPub, Engage with the Community- are quite good at a high level, and advice that I would give to publishers as well. The advice to “Stay Adaptive with Protocols” is also good advice, but the description is wrong on some pretty important parts. Then again, this is also because the quoted source (TwipeMobile again) is wrong on this, so at least ChatGPT cited a bad source correctly.
ChatGPT spends another section on discoverability and engagement, writing a comparison between ActivityPub and ATProto. It correctly notes that discoverability on the fediverse happens to community sharing and hashtags, and that ATProto has space for algorithmic discovery. ChatGPT’s tendency to equate both sides is in full play here: it does correctly say the difference between the networks, but refrains from making a material conclusion about it, describing them both as equal but different. Again, the biggest fault ChatGPT here is not in what it writes, but what it does not write. There is no information on that search is opt-in on the fediverse, that around 5% of accounts have opted into being discovered, and that as a result search and discovery works significantly less well on the fediverse than it does on Bluesky.
Finally, ChatGPT offers the advice to use “third-party analytics services to gauge engagement.” There are indeed tools available for analytics, but not all of them are easy to find, or to know which one to use. ChatGPT does not tell you which tools you can potentially use, instead offering very basic advice on tracking engagement. ChatGPT’s output would have been better here with some more ‘deep research’.
Another general note on ChatGPT’s output: Zitron does not like Deep Research’ tone of writing, and I agree with what he writes here: “I don’t like reading it! I don’t know how else to say this — there is something deeply unpleasant about how Deep Research reads! It’s uncanny valley, if the denizens of said valley were a bit dense and lazy. It’s quintessential LLM copy — soulless and almost, but not quite, right.”
Over the last years how you feel about LLMs and generative AI has quickly become an identity marker for many people, with opinions ranging from LLMs being the new way to build machine god to a torment nexus that is designed to strip workers of their power. For this article I am not aiming to argue for a specific position in the debate about the values and impacts of LLMs, and instead I’m aiming for a smaller goal. OpenAI released a new mode that says it can do deep research, and a prominent tech writer used a singular prompt to get a sense of how good this new mode this. This prompt happened to be on a subject field I do know something about. I wanted to know how much ‘deep research’ was in ChatGPT’s output, so to that end, I simply did some deep research of my own.

Fediverse Report’s deep research on Deep Research’s fediverse report
ChatGPT recently released a new feature, called Deep Research, that allows ChatGPT to “use reasoning”, and process large amount of online information. In his newsletter Platformer, Casey Newton reported on the new ChatGPT’s new feature. To judge the quality and functionality of Deep Research, Newton prompted ChatGPT to output a report of 5k words using Deep Research, and compare this to a similar report made by Google’s Gemini. Notably for this blog, Newton asks ChatGPT for a report about how the fediverse could benefit publishers. A Fediverse Report, you could call it. Newton does not spend a lot of time analysing the results, saying that the output hits on the requirements of the prompt, and says that compared to Gemini, deep research “blows it out of the water”. Not all tech writers are as impressed with Deep Research, AI doomer king Ed Zitron wrote another long article, ‘The Generative AI Con’, in which Zitron pushes back against AI hype. He takes a Deep Research by reading through the same report that about the fediverse that Newton has published in Platformer. Zitron is not impressed by OpenAI’s new feature, saying that “the citations in this “deep research” are flimsy at best“, and that “this thing isn’t well-researched at all.“
A report on the fediverse is quite up the alley for a blog named Fediverse Report. So let’s do some deep research on Deep Research’s fediverse report. I’ll go over ChatGPT’s output in detail, analysing what information ChatGPT gives, and which information is missing.
ChatGPT’s output gets quite a lot of information correct, and more importantly, it structures the information well. It pulls in relevant examples, and also manages to find relevant obscure information. Deep Research’s ability to show what information the output is based on gives insight in how an LLM’s output gets constructed. It also allows the sources to be analysed, and it turns out there is a lot of interesting information you can learn by looking at the sources that Deep Research uses for the output. The report is also pretty well structured, and hits on most of the relevant points that publisher who is curious about the fediverse needs to know.
A common critique of LLMs is that they will give factually incorrect information, often simply called hallucinations. This problem is also visible in Deep Research’s output, it contains factual mistakes. The problem of factual (in)correctness of LLMs is well-known, and not a debate I want to rehash here. What I am interested in is the analysis and research part of Deep Research: which sources does the output use? Are those sources any good? And just as importantly: which relevant sources should have been part of the report, but aren’t? Judging if the output of an LLM is correct or incorrect is reasonably straightforward. But judging if the output of the LLM does not include information that reasonably should have been included is much harder. This goes doubly so for emerging fields like the fediverse, where there is no authoritative base of knowledge to rely upon.
In ChatGPT’s output that Newton uses to get a sense of the performance of Deep Research, I find that there are three types of issues relating to data and analysis. There are issues with the quality of the sources that ChatGPT cites, and there are sources missing that I expect to have been cited. But the most intriguing part for me is when ChatGPT cites a source correctly, but the resulting output is still lacking, because the needed information to get to a good understanding is not actually available on the internet.
One issue that Deep Research struggle with is with the quality of the data sources it cites. The clearest example is this specific Reddit post, which ChatGPT cites six different times as a source in the section on monetization in the fediverse. The post is titled ‘monetization’ and posted on /r/fediverse. This specific Reddit post is the second search result on Google, as well as Kagi and DuckDuckGo for the search query ‘fediverse monetization’.
ChatGPT heavily focuses on WebMonetization by Interledger in this section, and how it integrates with Castopod. Interledger is a (non-crypto) payment network that allows people to send microtransactions to creators. There is indeed an WebMonetization integration with Castopod, but ChatGPT’s output gives no indication of how unrepresentative this is for the fediverse. With respect to Castopod and Interledger and what they are building, WebMonetization is in no way any meaningful part of the fediverse. In fact, both organisations presented their integration in 2025 during FOSDEM. The room consisted of the most in-the-know in-crowd of fediverse developers, and as far as I can tell this potential fediverse integration with WebMonetization was new information for most if not all of them. ChatGPT provides a reasonable summary of the position of Interledger regarding monetization in their output, but the complete lack of context of how early in the adoption stage WebMonetization makes that the output does not represent the state of the fediverse, as it is currently used by most people, at all.
An article by TwipeMobile is the prime source that ChatGPT uses throughout the article. TwipeMobile is software development company that builds apps for newspapers. The company also publishes research papers about related topic, and one is called “What is the Fediverse? A guide for publishers and the uninitiated.” With a title like that it is no surprise that ChatGPT likes the article. The quality of the article is mediocre however, and it lives in the twilight zone where it is impossible to tell for sure whether the article is generated by an LLM or written by a human.
The TwipeMobile article has some major issues with factuality, and as a result, ChatGPT’s output suffers as well. This is especially noticeable in ChatGPT’s comparison between ActivityPub and ATProto. The TwipeMobile article describes ActivityPub as ‘widely adopted’ and having an ‘established user base’, and ATProto as early in its growth. The article was published on 6 December 2024, and at that date the fediverse had 1.1 million monthly active users, while Bluesky had around 11 million monthly active users. That ATProto is 10x the size in terms of active users compared to ActivityPub does not seem particularly clear from the language used in the TwipeMobile article, which seems to imply that ActivityPub is more active than ATProto. As ChatGPT’s output relies so heavily on TwipeMobile’s article, this misconception is reflected in ChatGPT’s advice as well, which describes ActivityPub as having an ‘established audience’ and ATProto as being in an ‘early growth stage’.
ChatGPT does miss a few relevant sources, that would help publishers get a good understanding of the state of the fediverse and whether the network is relevant for them. One source that is missing from ChatGPT’s output is regarding monetisation and sub.club. Sub.club was a platform that let fediverse creators offer paid subscriptions and premium content, using existing fediverse infrastructure. It allowed people to set up a fediverse account, to share content with the rest of the fediverse. Creators could then set a paywall on posts if they so wanted, and sub.club provided the payment infrastructure. Sub.club shut down in December 2024, only a few months after launched, and they managed to onboard only 150 people. For publishers that are interested in monetisation on the fediverse Sub.club’s struggle to gain traction is a relevant data point. Sub.club got a fair amount of media attention (1, 2) from well-known outlets, so there was not a lack of sources for ChatGPT to cite from.
Another example of sources that are not included in ChatGPT’s output is not only a matter of not linking to articles, the lines between ‘relevant information that is missing from ChatGPT’s output’ and ‘relevant information that is not covered in well-known news publications’ are thin. Some of the most relevant information that is missing in the output is also missing in articles that rank high in search engines. A notable example is the statistics that Heise editor Martin Holland regularly publishes, which compares traffic to their site from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and X over a longer time period. The original prompt by Newton asks for report on how the fediverse could benefit publishers, and traffic data time series is one of the best ways of showing the concrete benefits for publishers.
As best I can tell this data series is not published in news media, which explains why it does not show up. ChatGPT seems to prefer to use English-speaking sources. For example, there is no information on how ZDF, one of Germany’s largest public broadcasters, has had their own Mastodon server for years. Heise being a German news outlet also likely contributes to the data series is being not being reported on in English-speaking media, and not being found by ChatGPT.
One limitation that ChatGPT’s output has is that it is dependent on available information. But what if the information is not available online, nor a clear indication there is missing data at all? Let’s take a look at how ChatGPT describes Medium as an example for how publishers can use a Mastodon instance to amplify author’s reach. The output cites Medium’s announcement blog post and summarises the point of why Medium started their Mastodon server this correctly. On a surface level ChatGPT’s output is good: it found relevant information and summarised the important points.
What’s missing here is the follow-up: Medium launched their Mastodon more than 2 years ago. So did their plans actually work out? That seems pretty relevant information for a potential publisher to know. In 2024, Medium barely posted about their Mastodon server on their blog. CEO Tony Stubblebine mentions Medium’s Mastodon server once in his ‘State of Medium‘ post, also saying that he finds Threads to be a better place for self-promotion. Those two additional data points suggest that Medium’s experience with launching a Mastodon server is mixed: the me.dm server has 1.7k MAU, so it clearly provides some benefit to the Medium user base. But neither are there signals that it is an overwhelming success.
The issue here is that Medium (or anyone else) has not published an analysis or statement with a follow-up on Medium’s Mastodon server, to ask the question: “are the benefits of running a Mastodon server by a publishing platform good enough that it is recommended for other publishers to do so as well?” Newton’s original prompt asks for “high-level strategic analysis for a digital-native publisher”, and this is the type of analysis that is needed for a publisher to actually make a decision. For a publisher it is only knowing about the existence of a project is not the point, a publisher needs to know if that project is successful and if they should consider it as well. This type of analysis is hard for ChatGPT to properly execute: LLMs are fundamentally about processing data, and it cannot process data that doesn’t exist.
ChatGPT’s output on recommendation I find to be quite good. The first three points of advice – Establish an Authentic Presence, Integrate Your Website with ActivityPub, Engage with the Community- are quite good at a high level, and advice that I would give to publishers as well. The advice to “Stay Adaptive with Protocols” is also good advice, but the description is wrong on some pretty important parts. Then again, this is also because the quoted source (TwipeMobile again) is wrong on this, so at least ChatGPT cited a bad source correctly.

It correctly notes that discoverability on the fediverse happens to community sharing and hashtags, and that ATProto has space for algorithmic discovery. ChatGPT’s tendency to equate both sides is in full play here: it does correctly say the difference between the networks, but refrains from making a material conclusion about it, describing them both as equal but different. Again, the biggest fault ChatGPT here is not in what it writes, but what it does not write. There is no information on that search is opt-in on the fediverse, that around 5% of accounts have opted into being discovered, and that as a result search and discovery works significantly less well on the fediverse than it does on Bluesky.

What are some good examples of individuals or people escaping to the Fediverse (including Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, Lemmy, etc) or some other decentralized social-media (DeSo) platform — from some other social-media platform?
Perhaps because of a "bad" situation or "bad" conditions on their previous social-media platform?

I understand the feeling. In the past I was always like: Oh no, so I have to install an app for this? Cuz I knew it means I have to inform myself and deep dive into the app settings and my DNS filters to hedge my privacy as good as possible.
With FOSS and Fediverse it’s like: Wow, this works so well, let’s check all its potential and tell everybody about it 🤩. And it works FOR me, not AGAINST me 🥰.

So is it just me or are #Mastodon developers completely overdoing their role in controlling content in the #Fediverse?
Making quote posts opt-in basically means that it will be hardly ever used, so why even bother investing all the time to develop it in the first place?
The role of developers imho is to provide the tool, not to shape the network according to their wishes, no? If the feature is actually abused, you can give the responsible moderators the tools to limit this abuse like in every other case. There are also no muted words by default or something like that.
When I sell a radio, I don't just provide the stations I like. Otherwise people will just get another device. Unfortunately, many people do not understand that Mastodon is just one radio manufacturer in the Fediverse and therefore do not join the entire network.

So #fediverse / #mastodon / #activitypub people, what do we have by now that is a usable alternative to facebooks group- & event feature?
I have a number of friends who work in event-related contexts, play in bands, do art exhibitions etc. most of them are still at metas platforms for basically 1-2 reasons. Twatter doesn't really matter at all to them because no feature keeps them there.
The Main reason for most of them to stay with meta is to promote their events & the easiness to invite people to an event or self-subscribe.
The other reasons are groups/channels where people have sub-discussion threads, that "feel a little bit isolated from the rest of the platform".
I'm not 100% convinced, that this can/can't be substituted by something like "only display this toot to people following the #hashtag" or something similar.
Reason number three is network effect at the end of the day, which is not really technically addressable from "our side" imho. Being able to show easy to use alternatives should be doable tho.

I suppose I should do a #introducton since I spun up my own instance even though I'm not entirely new to the fediverse.
My bio says most of what you need to know, but in general I try to advocate for an open, free internet outside of corporate control and share personal advice for navigating this digital landscape.
I run a few different services that are open to people I'm at least acquainted with. Very pro individual liberties when it comes to politics. And I kinda post whatever I feel like. Mostly about the aforementioned internet topics, but definitely can deviate time to time.

Proton is leaving because Proton cannot control the flow of information here on the Fediverse.
Most corporations mimic social algorithms to their advantage, particularly, to suppress news and information that may not paint them in a good light. Proton cannot do that on the Fediverse.
When Proton rebranded a few years ago, which caused some people to lose their accounts with no refund, they silenced any complaints on both Facebook and Reddit. I know, because I was one of those people. Most of you were happy to have the new upgraded accounts, but if you had the original family plan, which they discontinued (only to start selling a new family plan months later), you were not a happy person to find out you lost your service.
Additionally, it has been brought to people's attention that Proton now falls under Us-jurisdiction. Proton would like to argue that is only for Proton Wallet, but our legal system does not allow a company to pick and choose. Plus, even if they could (you cannot), it means they could still be pressured and influence by US Politics and US Laws now. This was another little fact, Proton wanted to suppress, but cannot because the Fediverse is organic, and not centralized.

@liaizon @tomjennings Pawnbroker balls might be reversed in orientation with two at the top, one at the bottom. Reference: fig. 2 Pawnbroker's shop, Islington. Barbara Jones, The Unsophisticated Arts, 1951, p 158. (And while the illustration is too good to go uncredited, fig 1 is a Saddler's shop in Liverpool, and fig 4 a revolving barber's pole, East London.) #balls #asterism #fediverse #pawnbroker #horse #illustration

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

I was just thinking. #fediverse really needs a kind of URL scheme which encodes both the origin URL and the fedi "platform", so fedi clients and browsers (perhaps with extensions) can reinterpret the URL and redirect the user to their own instance. This would go a long way to making federated services in the browser feel like one "app".
Perhaps simply adding ?fediapp=microblog or ?fediapp=threadiverse or ?fediapp=videos to the end might suffice, even though it's a bit ugly in the URL bar.
Or perhaps domains can expose this with a TXT record..? Hmm.

A good file-extension for ActivityPub / ActivityStream files might be:
.activity
And maybe also:
.jsonactivity
Those could be used to trigger a web-server to respond with the Content-Type "application/activity+json".

.json isn't sufficient, since it would produce a Content-Type of "application/json" rather than "application/activity+json".
ActivityPub / ActivityStream files need their own file-extension.

A file-extension for ActivityPub /ActivityStream files.
...
On many web-servers, the Content-Type returned when serving a file is based on the file-extension of the file.
Ex: .txt for text files, .gz for gzip files, .gmni for gemtext files, etc.
I am not aware of a widely used file-extension for ActivityStreams / ActivityPub files.

This needs some testing to see what extant Fediverse software actually does.
For example — with the extant Fediverse software —
Does the avatar image, the (actor) name, etc show up with the post?
Does the post show up?

You could have a post on one server host attribute and account on another server host as its author.
All you have to do is set the "attributedTo" field appropriately.

#PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.
Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.
Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds
It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

#Introduction #Reintroduction Ein hallo von einer neuen Instanz! Ich bin neu auf norden.social, aber nicht neu im #fediverse. Vieles steht ja schon in der Bio. Ich hab mal an Barrierefreiheit mit rumgewerkelt, bin von Geburt an blind, habe zwei Katzen und eine Frau, wir wohnen im schönen Hamburg, ich bin inzwischen Rentner und treibe mich also nur zum Spaß hier herum. Freue mich auf Austausch und nette Gespräche.

Hey #fediverse devs, is there a comprehensive resource for deployed, real-world ActivityStreams vocabularies?
We'd like to make Sockethub somewhat interoperable with whatever is used on the rest of the Web (eventually).
Example: Object for a Web page. There's a simple Page object described in the Activity Vocabulary spec, but it's nowhere near complete in terms of metadata properties. How can I find out what others are doing, short of reading every possible implementation's source code?

I really like the proposed asterism symbol, ⁂, U+2042 to represent the Fediverse. “In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations.”

I might just add it to my fonts, (and perhaps boot the bitcoin, ₿, U+20BF, while I'm at it) Now to see whether I like hexacles (the bestagons) or pentacles..

❌ Anti-Trans
❌ Anti-Reproductive Health Care
❌ Anti-Vaccine
❌ Anti-Intelligence
❌ Anti-American
❌ Poor record for Civil Rights
❌ Poor record for Civil Liberties
SXSW just seems like a big ask for just about anybody on the #Fediverse.

Hey, I'm back on #Mastodon after a few months spent on #Bluesky.
I want to propose a local instance (which was rebuilt from scratch again, sorry!) for people living on, or nearby, the #Jura mountains. Either on the #Swiss or #French sides. With indeed a proper moderation.
After 8 years spent on Mastodon, I know the limits of the #fediverse quite well but I think it's important such spaces exist.

How do Mastodon and Threads actually interact?
Our latest paper on Fediverse sharing is out! We look at how these platforms connect, the impact of integration, and how users perceive it. Some Mastodon servers welcome Threads, while others block it—shaping the relationship between decentralized and centralized social media.
What does this mean for the future of social media? Read our findings here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.17926

A user on the Fediverse has a way of escaping — to someone else's server or their own server — if they feel things have gotten bad on the server they are on.
And, they can take their followers and who they follow with them, etc, to the new account.
And (eventually) they can take their content with them, too.
That is part of the value of decentralization.
You have a way of escaping — and taking everything important with you.

A single server on the Fediverse is vulnerable to manipulation, censorship, spying, and control — whether corporate, gov't, political, or any other type — just like centralized social-media.

ActivityPub & ActivityStreams are based on JSON-LD — a format that is not (non-programmer) human-legible & human-writable
Maybe we need an alternative way of encoding ActivityPub & ActivityStreams in situations where (non-programmer) humans might read it or write it
Maybe the INI file data format? Or something else that is friendly to (non-programmer) humans?

I have seen some (non-aggressive) alt-text advocates write the alt-text themselves, and offer it to the users (who didn't add alt-text).
That is much, much better than yelling at someone (for not including alt-text)!
No nagging. No aggressiveness. No hostility.

But — the aggressiveness of those alt-text and CW advocates was (and probably still is) causing people who newly joined the Fediverse to leave —
Because one of these new users' early experiences on the Fediverse feels like they are being yelled at by these alt-text and content-warning advocates. And, don't feel welcomed. And leave.
There is a better way —

I think one good thing about it is that — it feels like the very aggressive alt-text and content-warning advocates seem less common.

What if a (new type of) Fediverse server automagically created an ActivityPub actor for each hash-tag.
So, for example, if someone on the server used:
⋕banana
(Then if the domain of the server is "example.com") then we would automagically have the actor:
＠banana＠example·com
Probably a group actor.
And it boosted any local post with that hash-tag.
Then you could follow a hash-tag on a server.

A Matrix-Fediverse bridge is needed.
When someone asks something to the effect of "Is there a Fediverse alternative to Discord" —
Sometimes people answer with — "Matrix". But, is "Matrix" really a valid response yet?
I like Matrix, I use Matrix, but —
There doesn't seem to be a Matrix bridge to the Fediverse yet:

I think one is needed.

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:
Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.
Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.
If you're interested in trying any of these projects or contributing to their development, check out:

Fediverse Report #105
While the news in the world is louder and intenser than ever, the fediverse has had one of it’s most quiet news weeks in a long time. But as compensation I’ll have another article out tomorrow, that I did not manage to finish for today.
Some updates for GoToSocial: GoToSocial published the documentation that would also allow other fediverse platforms to implement their Interaction Policies. And Slurp is a new CLI tool to import your posts from other fediverse servers into GoToSocial. A guide to import your Pixelfed posts into GoToSocial with Slurp is available here.
Last week I wrote extensively about Mastodon’s plan to implement quote post. Mastodon CTO Renaud Chaput confirmed in a follow-up that Mastodon will not display quote posts if they are made using another implementation than Mastodon proposes. This means in practice that even when Mastodon has added support for quote posts, it will not display quote posts made by Misskey, unless Misskey also implements Mastodon’s new proposed system for quote posts.
Elgg is an old-school open source social network that started in 2004. It added a plugin for ActivityPub this week.
John Oliver discussed content moderation on Last Week Tonight, quickly promoting Mastodon, Pixelfed, Bluesky and Signal as alternatives.
The Identity Graph Explorer is a simple tool to find out how “identifiers on the Fediverse / Social Web are connected to one another”.
The Hexbear Lemmy community recently lost control of their domain, leading to a bidding war for the domain name for thousands of dollars. The admins now report that they have gotten back control of their domain.

We at Vivaldi are the only browser company with a Mastodon server. We have chosen to support the Fediverse in every way we can. We will continue to do so as we need options away from Big Tech.

Fedifyの関連プロジェクトをご紹介したいと思います。ActivityPubアプリケーション開発をより簡単にするツール群です：
Fedify（@fedify）はActivityPubやその他のフェディバース標準を活用する連合型サーバーアプリケーションを構築するためのTypeScriptライブラリです。Activity Vocabularyの型安全なオブジェクト、WebFingerクライアント・サーバー、HTTP Signaturesなどを提供し、ボイラープレートコードを削減してアプリケーションロジックに集中できるようにします。
Hollo（@hollo）はFedifyで動作するお一人様用マイクロブログサーバーです。個人向けに設計されていますが、ActivityPubを通じて完全に連合化されており、フェディバース全体のユーザーと交流することができます。HolloはMastodon互換APIを実装しているため、独自のウェブインターフェースがなくても、ほとんどのMastodonクライアントと互換性があります。
Holloはまた、正式リリース前の最新Fedify機能をテストする実験場としても活用されています。
BotKit（@botkit）は私たちの最も新しいメンバーで、ActivityPubボットを作成するために特別に設計されたフレームワークです。従来のMastodonボットとは異なり、BotKitはプラットフォーム固有の制限（文字数制限など）に縛られない独立したActivityPubサーバーを作成します。
BotKitのAPIは意図的にシンプルに設計されており、単一のTypeScriptファイルで完全なボットを作成できます！
これら三つのプロジェクトはすべて@fedify-dev GitHubオーガニゼーションでオープンソースとして公開されています。それぞれ異なる目的を持っていますが、ActivityPub開発をより身近にし、フェディバースのエコシステムを拡大するという共通の目標を共有しています。
これらのプロジェクトを試してみたり、開発に貢献したりすることに興味がある場合は、以下をご覧ください：

We'd like to introduce the #Fedify project family—a set of related tools that make building #ActivityPub applications more accessible:
Fedify (@fedify) is a #TypeScript library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other #fediverse standards. It provides type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary, WebFinger client/server, HTTP Signatures, and more—eliminating boilerplate code so you can focus on your application logic.
Hollo (@hollo) is a single-user microblogging server powered by Fedify. While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

#Fedify 자매 프로젝트들을 소개해 드리고자 합니다. #ActivityPub 애플리케이션 개발을 더 쉽게 만들어주는 관련 도구들입니다:
Fedify(@fedify)는 ActivityPub와 다른 #연합우주(#fediverse) 표준을 기반으로 연합 서버 애플리케이션을 구축하기 위한 #TypeScript 라이브러리입니다. Activity Vocabulary를 위한 타입 안전한 객체, WebFinger 클라이언트·서버, HTTP Signatures 등를 제공하여 반복적인 코드를 줄이고 애플리케이션 로직에 집중할 수 있게 해줍니다.
Hollo(@hollo)는 Fedify로 구동되는 1인 사용자용 마이크로블로깅 서버입니다. 1인 사용자를 위해 설계되었지만, ActivityPub를 통해 완전히 연합되어 연합우주 전체의 사용자들과 상호작용할 수 있습니다. Hollo는 Mastodon 호환 API를 구현하여 자체 웹 인터페이스 없이도 대부분의 Mastodon 클라이언트와 호환됩니다.
Hollo는 또한 정식 출시 전에 최신 Fedify 기능을 테스트하는 실험장으로도 활용되고 있습니다.
BotKit(@botkit)은 저희의 가장 새로운 구성원으로, ActivityPub 봇을 만들기 위해 특별히 설계된 프레임워크입니다. 전통적인 Mastodon 봇과 달리, BotKit은 플랫폼별 제한(글자 수 제한 등)에 구애받지 않는 독립적인 ActivityPub 서버를 만듭니다.
BotKit의 API는 의도적으로 단순하게 설계되어 단일 TypeScript 파일로 완전한 봇을 만들 수 있습니다!
세 프로젝트 모두 @fedify-dev GitHub 조직에서 오픈 소스로 공개되어 있습니다. 각기 다른 목적을 가지고 있지만, ActivityPub 개발을 더 접근하기 쉽게 만들고 연합우주 생태계를 확장한다는 공통된 목표를 공유합니다.
이러한 프로젝트를 사용해보거나 개발에 기여하는 데 관심이 있으시다면, 다음을 확인해보세요:

I gave a talk at the Boston WordPress Meetup last night about WordPress and the Fediverse
Slideshare link (You Got Your WordPress in My Fediverse) or embed below:
Went well I think – did not have a ton of time to put it together, and you could spend hours explaining the Fediverse or WordPress, but I tried to make it useful to folks interested in exploring more on their own.

Liebes #Fediverse - ich hätte da aus aktuellem Anlass mal ne Frage:
Wenn #fckmrz und seine #cducsu jetzt eine #kleineanfrage gegen NGOs starten weil es ihnen nicht passt das Menschen sich gegen #Faschismus wehren, wie steht es dann eigentlich mit der politischen Neutralität bei öffentlichen Körperschaften? Soweit ich mich erinnere hatte z.B. der BBV in Bayern die Bauernproteste maßgeblich mitorganisiert.

Fediverse Report #105
While the news in the world is louder and intenser than ever, the fediverse has had one of it’s most quiet news weeks in a long time. But as compensation I’ll have another article out tomorrow, that I did not manage to finish for today.
Some updates for GoToSocial: GoToSocial published the documentation that would also allow other fediverse platforms to implement their Interaction Policies. And Slurp is a new CLI tool to import your posts from other fediverse servers into GoToSocial. A guide to import your Pixelfed posts into GoToSocial with Slurp is available here.
Last week I wrote extensively about Mastodon’s plan to implement quote post. Mastodon CTO Renaud Chaput confirmed in a follow-up that Mastodon will not display quote posts if they are made using another implementation than Mastodon proposes. This means in practice that even when Mastodon has added support for quote posts, it will not display quote posts made by Misskey, unless Misskey also implements Mastodon’s new proposed system for quote posts.
Elgg is an old-school open source social network that started in 2004. It added a plugin for ActivityPub this week.
John Oliver discussed content moderation on Last Week Tonight, quickly promoting Mastodon, Pixelfed, Bluesky and Signal as alternatives.
The Identity Graph Explorer is a simple tool to find out how “identifiers on the Fediverse / Social Web are connected to one another”.
The Hexbear Lemmy community recently lost control of their domain, leading to a bidding war for the domain name for thousands of dollars. The admins now report that they have gotten back control of their domain.

While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

Liebes #Fediverse - ich hätte da aus aktuellem Anlass mal ne Frage:
Wenn #fckmrz und seine #cducsu jetzt eine #kleineanfrage gegen NGOs starten weil es ihnen nicht passt das Menschen sich gegen #Faschismus wehren, wie steht es dann eigentlich mit der politischen Neutralität bei öffentlichen Körperschaften? Soweit ich mich erinnere hatte z.B. der BBV in Bayern die Bauernproteste maßgeblich mitorganisiert.

Fedifyの関連プロジェクトをご紹介したいと思います。ActivityPubアプリケーション開発をより簡単にするツール群です：
Fedify（@fedify）はActivityPubやその他のフェディバース標準を活用する連合型サーバーアプリケーションを構築するためのTypeScriptライブラリです。Activity Vocabularyの型安全なオブジェクト、WebFingerクライアント・サーバー、HTTP Signaturesなどを提供し、ボイラープレートコードを削減してアプリケーションロジックに集中できるようにします。
Hollo（@hollo）はFedifyで動作するお一人様用マイクロブログサーバーです。個人向けに設計されていますが、ActivityPubを通じて完全に連合化されており、フェディバース全体のユーザーと交流することができます。HolloはMastodon互換APIを実装しているため、独自のウェブインターフェースがなくても、ほとんどのMastodonクライアントと互換性があります。
Holloはまた、正式リリース前の最新Fedify機能をテストする実験場としても活用されています。
BotKit（@botkit）は私たちの最も新しいメンバーで、ActivityPubボットを作成するために特別に設計されたフレームワークです。従来のMastodonボットとは異なり、BotKitはプラットフォーム固有の制限（文字数制限など）に縛られない独立したActivityPubサーバーを作成します。
BotKitのAPIは意図的にシンプルに設計されており、単一のTypeScriptファイルで完全なボットを作成できます！
これら三つのプロジェクトはすべて@fedify-dev GitHubオーガニゼーションでオープンソースとして公開されています。それぞれ異なる目的を持っていますが、ActivityPub開発をより身近にし、フェディバースのエコシステムを拡大するという共通の目標を共有しています。
これらのプロジェクトを試してみたり、開発に貢献したりすることに興味がある場合は、以下をご覧ください：

#Fedify 자매 프로젝트들을 소개해 드리고자 합니다. #ActivityPub 애플리케이션 개발을 더 쉽게 만들어주는 관련 도구들입니다:
Fedify(@fedify)는 ActivityPub와 다른 #연합우주(#fediverse) 표준을 기반으로 연합 서버 애플리케이션을 구축하기 위한 #TypeScript 라이브러리입니다. Activity Vocabulary를 위한 타입 안전한 객체, WebFinger 클라이언트·서버, HTTP Signatures 등를 제공하여 반복적인 코드를 줄이고 애플리케이션 로직에 집중할 수 있게 해줍니다.
Hollo(@hollo)는 Fedify로 구동되는 1인 사용자용 마이크로블로깅 서버입니다. 1인 사용자를 위해 설계되었지만, ActivityPub를 통해 완전히 연합되어 연합우주 전체의 사용자들과 상호작용할 수 있습니다. Hollo는 Mastodon 호환 API를 구현하여 자체 웹 인터페이스 없이도 대부분의 Mastodon 클라이언트와 호환됩니다.
Hollo는 또한 정식 출시 전에 최신 Fedify 기능을 테스트하는 실험장으로도 활용되고 있습니다.
BotKit(@botkit)은 저희의 가장 새로운 구성원으로, ActivityPub 봇을 만들기 위해 특별히 설계된 프레임워크입니다. 전통적인 Mastodon 봇과 달리, BotKit은 플랫폼별 제한(글자 수 제한 등)에 구애받지 않는 독립적인 ActivityPub 서버를 만듭니다.
BotKit의 API는 의도적으로 단순하게 설계되어 단일 TypeScript 파일로 완전한 봇을 만들 수 있습니다!
세 프로젝트 모두 @fedify-dev GitHub 조직에서 오픈 소스로 공개되어 있습니다. 각기 다른 목적을 가지고 있지만, ActivityPub 개발을 더 접근하기 쉽게 만들고 연합우주 생태계를 확장한다는 공통된 목표를 공유합니다.

I noticed years ago that some people use Discord as an alternative to what was traditionally done with mailing-lists.
To keep a list of people. Maybe for a community. Many for an audience. And to be able to communicate with them.
Both people and businesses created these.
I see some people doing similar with Telegram.
Sometimes, with read-only Telegram channels. Although sometimes with everyone posting.

I gave a talk at the Boston WordPress Meetup last night about WordPress and the Fediverse
Slideshare link (You Got Your WordPress in My Fediverse) or embed below:
Went well I think – did not have a ton of time to put it together, and you could spend hours explaining the Fediverse or WordPress, but I tried to make it useful to folks interested in exploring more on their own.

One thing about Akkoma that can cause you problems when hosting it is —
It stores media in the databases.
Including caching the profile images and profile headers from random people on the Fediverse.
This can cause your storage-drive to fill up.
I've seen 40% or more of the storage-drive taken up by this caching.

While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. #Hollo implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it compatible with most Mastodon clients without needing its own web interface.
Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.
BotKit (@botkit) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, #BotKit creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).
BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!
All three projects are open source and hosted under the @fedify-dev GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.

Got into a rant yesterday with family bc I cannot understand everyone is still using Meta services, MS, Google etc. Now I am trying to collect alternatives. I saw a good page with EU alternatives, although considering the stand of many EU countries to Palestine I am a bit wary.
Still, first question: if someone wants to set up an instance for the #fediverse - in which languages is that possible? I see English and German - would there be French or best, Arabic available?

Fedifyの関連プロジェクトをご紹介したいと思います。ActivityPubアプリケーション開発をより簡単にするツール群です：
Fedify（@fedify）はActivityPubやその他のフェディバース標準を活用する連合型サーバーアプリケーションを構築するためのTypeScriptライブラリです。Activity Vocabularyの型安全なオブジェクト、WebFingerクライアント・サーバー、HTTP Signaturesなどを提供し、ボイラープレートコードを削減してアプリケーションロジックに集中できるようにします。
Hollo（@hollo）はFedifyで動作するお一人様用マイクロブログサーバーです。個人向けに設計されていますが、ActivityPubを通じて完全に連合化されており、フェディバース全体のユーザーと交流することができます。HolloはMastodon互換APIを実装しているため、独自のウェブインターフェースがなくても、ほとんどのMastodonクライアントと互換性があります。
Holloはまた、正式リリース前の最新Fedify機能をテストする実験場としても活用されています。
BotKit（@botkit）は私たちの最も新しいメンバーで、ActivityPubボットを作成するために特別に設計されたフレームワークです。従来のMastodonボットとは異なり、BotKitはプラットフォーム固有の制限（文字数制限など）に縛られない独立したActivityPubサーバーを作成します。
BotKitのAPIは意図的にシンプルに設計されており、単一のTypeScriptファイルで完全なボットを作成できます！
これら三つのプロジェクトはすべて@fedify-dev GitHubオーガニゼーションでオープンソースとして公開されています。それぞれ異なる目的を持っていますが、ActivityPub開発をより身近にし、フェディバースのエコシステムを拡大するという共通の目標を共有しています。

#Fedify 자매 프로젝트들을 소개해 드리고자 합니다. #ActivityPub 애플리케이션 개발을 더 쉽게 만들어주는 관련 도구들입니다:
Fedify(@fedify)는 ActivityPub와 다른 #연합우주(#fediverse) 표준을 기반으로 연합 서버 애플리케이션을 구축하기 위한 #TypeScript 라이브러리입니다. Activity Vocabulary를 위한 타입 안전한 객체, WebFinger 클라이언트·서버, HTTP Signatures 등를 제공하여 반복적인 코드를 줄이고 애플리케이션 로직에 집중할 수 있게 해줍니다.
Hollo(@hollo)는 Fedify로 구동되는 1인 사용자용 마이크로블로깅 서버입니다. 1인 사용자를 위해 설계되었지만, ActivityPub를 통해 완전히 연합되어 연합우주 전체의 사용자들과 상호작용할 수 있습니다. Hollo는 Mastodon 호환 API를 구현하여 자체 웹 인터페이스 없이도 대부분의 Mastodon 클라이언트와 호환됩니다.
Hollo는 또한 정식 출시 전에 최신 Fedify 기능을 테스트하는 실험장으로도 활용되고 있습니다.
BotKit(@botkit)은 저희의 가장 새로운 구성원으로, ActivityPub 봇을 만들기 위해 특별히 설계된 프레임워크입니다. 전통적인 Mastodon 봇과 달리, BotKit은 플랫폼별 제한(글자 수 제한 등)에 구애받지 않는 독립적인 ActivityPub 서버를 만듭니다.
BotKit의 API는 의도적으로 단순하게 설계되어 단일 TypeScript 파일로 완전한 봇을 만들 수 있습니다!
세 프로젝트 모두 @fedify-dev GitHub 조직에서 오픈 소스로 공개되어 있습니다. 각기 다른 목적을 가지고 있지만, ActivityPub 개발을 더 접근하기 쉽게 만들고 연합우주 생태계를 확장한다는 공통된 목표를 공유합니다.

@atomicpoet @fediverse TBH I think a lot of people (including me) have a very sketchy idea of how the different bits of the Fediverse link together... I'm still a bit vague about how my #Mastodon and #Pixelfed accounts could work better together.
There's a lot of *assumed knowledge* about the #Fediverse ... and people don't want to ask 'stupid' questions because they don't want to 'look stupid'. There needs to be easily accessible and explicit step by step instructions *to get people started*.
Where could I find a group about #ux or #humancentredesign for example? Or #photography ?

That is NOT true.
There is indeed algorithms here — on the Fediverse, used for your home-feed, including the Mastodon home-feed.
It is just a simple algorithm —
I.e., show the posts from those you follow (including boosts) showing the newest stuff first (and oldest stuff last)
That is an algorithm!
What the author should perhaps instead be saying is "RECOMMENDATION-ENGINE" (which is a type of AI) rather than "algorithm"

Would you prefer that YOU ARE HIDDEN on the Fediverse?
That nobody (new) ever follows you?
That nobody (new) ever sees your posts?
I KNOW THIS QUESTION SEEMS WEIRD, BUT — THERE IS A SMALL GROUP THAT IS CURRENTLY ARGUING MOST PEOPLE ON THE FEDIVERSE WANT TO BE HIDDEN IN THIS WAY
They don't represent me. And I don't think they should (even implicitly) speak for me
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HIDDEN LIKE THIS — PLEASE VOTE "NO"
Please boost for reach.

Today @prashere is pondering what to call the #fediverse in #Tamil / #தமிழ்
https://mastodon.social/@prashere/114058809098021155
@prashere@mastodon.social
கேள்வி: #Fediverse என்ற சொல்லுக்கு இணையான #தமிழ் சொல் என்னவாக இருக்க முடியும்?
Fediverse என்பது "Federation" + "Universe" என்ற இரு வார்த்தைகளின் கூட்டுச்சொல். Federation என்றால் கூட்டமைப்பு என்று பொருள், Universe என்றால் பிரபஞ்சம் என்று பொருள். நேரடியாக "கூட்டமைப்பு பிரபஞ்சம்", "பிரபஞ்ச கூட்டமைப்பு", " கூட்டு பிரபஞ்சம்", "பிரபஞ்சக் கூட்டு" என்று எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாம். ஆனால் இது வெகுமக்களை சென்றடையும் என்று தோன்றவில்லை.

கேள்வி: #Fediverse என்ற சொல்லுக்கு இணையான #தமிழ் சொல் என்னவாக இருக்க முடியும்?
Fediverse என்பது "Federation" + "Universe" என்ற இரு வார்த்தைகளின் கூட்டுச்சொல். Federation என்றால் கூட்டமைப்பு என்று பொருள், Universe என்றால் பிரபஞ்சம் என்று பொருள். நேரடியாக "கூட்டமைப்பு பிரபஞ்சம்", "பிரபஞ்ச கூட்டமைப்பு", " கூட்டு பிரபஞ்சம்", "பிரபஞ்சக் கூட்டு" என்று எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாம். ஆனால் இது வெகுமக்களை சென்றடையும் என்று தோன்றவில்லை.

There are times I wish Misskey had an EDIT button.
It has a delete and edit option, meaning to start over.
Really need to find a Cherry Pick instance that is overseas and is OK with someone speaking in English, that also is well federated.

@StefanMuenz Eine Verpflichtung, Inhalte ins Fediverse zu stellen? Klingt nicht gerade nach Selbstbewusstsein, eher nach einem verzweifelten Versuch, Relevanz durch Zwang herzustellen. Öffentlichkeit entsteht nicht, weil Behörden, Unis und der ÖRR gezwungen werden, irgendwo zu publizieren – sondern weil Menschen es nutzen.

Ich suche eine Referent*in in einem Plenumstreffen das #Fediverse und #Mastodon zu erklären.
Die Treffen sind in 71332 Waiblingen.
Ich nutze zwar die Plattform, fühle mich aber überfordert alle Fragen zu beantworten.
Alternativ wäre auch Unterlagen mit möglichst vielen Informationen hilfreich.

If someone boosts your post on the fedi it almost always means they agree with you, so much that they want others to see your post.
To me that’s a possible indication of someone whom I want to follow as they most likely align with my ideas/values/ethics
So I recently adopted an algorithm for following folks
Boost = Follow
Additionally I also started actively organizing my lists, so accounts are categorized.

How well do MP4s and other animation formats work on the various Fediverse front-end client applications — including, of course, the Mastodon web-based interface?
(Both the front-end and back-end could affect it.)
Is there a way to make them repeat playing over and over and over again?
This is a test from the Mastodon web-based front-end client with an attached MP4.

I have some potential dates for this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).
I have been talking to one location about renting a room from them (for the conference). I asked them for 2 consecutive days we could rent a particular room.
This (in the attached screenshot) is what they said.
Given this, I am still leaning towards doing the conference in the month of August.
Maybe on a Friday and a Saturday.

Having said that —
There is a new UI trend to make the displaying of hash-tags more pleasant. Many clients (especially Mastodon clients) are putting hash-tags at the bottom of the post and limiting the space they take up.
That isn't (yet) true for group actors.

But —
Even if you follow a hash-tag, you don't necessarily see all the posts on the Fediverse that mentioned it.
Where, if you follow a Group Actor, you will see all (new) posts that mention it.

For example —
I don't have to do anything to create a hash-tag. I just start using it.
Where, with a Group Actor, not only do I have to explicitly create it before hand, but — it is usually a multi-step process.

Hash-Tags versus Group Actors
Hash-Tags and Group Actors seems to serve similar purposes.
("Communities" in Lemmy are Group Actors.)
I.e., a "place" where many people can post stuff — on a single topic, for a community, etc.
But at least currently, the user-experience (UX) is different.

If someone paints their house blue and you don't like it, it's fine that's your right.
You can even pin a post to your own house expressing clearly that you don't like blue houses if you wish.
But don't post a sign saying you don't like blue houses on someone else's blue house. They clearly like it and it's just rude and unempathetic.
This is also valid for Mastodon posts.

Kicking things off, I thought it would be worth highlighting some bits of the new user onboarding experience with Sharkey.
The onboarding process really seeks to help introduce people new to our fedi platforms, and is also happy to skip the hand-holding if you're already familiar with things.
Initially once you've created your account, Sharkey asks you to go through a few basic steps with setting up your profile, including allowing you to upload your profile picture/avatar/icon, goes over a couple of quick privacy settings that you can set, it brings up recommended and popular users you may wish to follow, and then asks to enable push notifications.
Once that bit is done, there's a small tutorial that it will guide you through, explaining what a note (post) is, explaining what the icons mean. It show you how to put a reaction on to a note, explains the various timelines, how to post a note, and how to mark an image as sensitive (also, Sharkey defaults to reminding users about adding alt text on photos as part of normal operations).
Basically, if one follows through these items, they should be in a not bad beginning position for getting going and getting something useful out of the fediverse.
@_elena@mastodon.social wrote an excellent blog post about Sharkey here, including the onboarding process: https://blog.elenarossini.com/sharkey-a-fediverse-project-that-is-beautiful-inside-out/
I actually hope to keep these posts about Sharkey pretty short and covering single and specific topics. The next one will be shorter.
I hope this is useful and enjoyable! Come check Sharkey out here at https://humanwords.cc or have a look at other instances via https://sharkey.fediverse.observer/list

Dear Friends of diversity,
lobster is my unreal name and I talk to myself, my computers, the birds and animals that come to the garden. I like seeing people's photographs, hearing their opinions and successes, where available.
I like to get up early and when silence is the prevailing norm. All my pets have died, been eaten or are imaginary.
I practice a unique internal martial art, with many unique features.
I recently died... and... wait, sorry, that was a dream. Have been using mastodon and the #fediverse for almost 0.25 of a day and find it excellent, compared to other disservices.
A big thank you to the software writers, kind people throughout, admins of servers. People looking out for us noobs, wer-critters, alchemists and general purpose weirdos...

FediDB respecting robots.txt has resulted in appr. 2M Fediverse accounts no longer being counted.
Prior to this change, #FediDB counted 12,923,233 accounts. Now it counts 10,868,233 accounts.
Now let me be blunt: respecting robots.txt is a good thing. But now when we look at #Fediverse accounts, it must clearly be seen with the acknowledgement that these only count services that haven’t opted out of tracking.
So when people compare user counts of #Bluesky vs. the Fediverse, remember that Bluesky has the luxury of a more complete count because they host all accounts there. In contrast, the Fediverse is actually decentralized, and a good many services simply do not want to be tracked – and are therefore not counted.
@reiver@mastodon.social
A topical or community Fediverse Relays could be very useful (in addition to generic ones).
Ex: a Paleogenetics relay server, or an animal photography relay server, or a company focused relay server, etc
Especially for single-user, community, team, organization, themed, etc server instances
It would also help save storage space on server instances, by the relay being selective in what it shares.

Fediverse Report – #104
Mastodon has announced it will add quote posts to the platform, and some more news.
Mastodon has announced it is adding quote posts to the platform, a long-awaited feature. Mastodon got a grant by NLnet in 2024 to add quote posts, and they are now sharing an update on their work. Mastodon is adding a variety of features to quote posts, such as giving people the ability to opt out of being quote posted. They will publish the technical work to support quote posts as Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, and Mastodon is currently in the process of writing these proposals. The organisation does not say when quote posts will be added, only noting that it ‘will still take more time to develop.’
For a long time, Mastodon had not implemented quote posts because CEO Eugen Rochko saw them as bad. His main concern is that quote posts lead to ‘dunking’ and toxic behaviour. Dunking refers to the behaviour where people use quote posts to ‘dunk’ on other people’s post, often with the intent that this mocking will lead to their followers to also mock and harass the original poster. Dunking was a visible part of Twitter’s culture, and in popular belief dunking and toxicity became linked together. Research showed a more complicated picture. Hilda Bastian analysed over 30 studies on quote tweeting, and concludes: “There’s conflicting evidence on whether QTs [quote Tweets] increase or decrease incivility, and whatever effect there is, it doesn’t seem to be major.“
In 2023 Mastodon changed their opinion, and first started saying that the organisation was open to implementing quote posts. Still, toxic behaviour via dunking continued to be a main concern. This is visible in the accompanying design research that Mastodon has done in their work on quote posts. Mastodon’s view seems to be that quote posts are toxic at it’s core, saying that “the team started out with a shared view that Quote Posts can be misused.”
Mastodon takes a technical approach to dealing to the purported problem of toxicity of quote posts, and the blog posts lists three features to mitigate it: people can choose if their posts are able to be quoted, people get notified if they are quoted, and there will be the ability to withdraw your post from the quoted context. Bluesky also has these features for quote posts, and they’re generally received well. What I find missing here is a take by Mastodon on the effect of these features on Bluesky. Mastodon sees quote posts as being dangerous, and that is why they will implement some features to mitigate the risk. But do they think that quote posts are being used well on Bluesky? Is Bluesky’s behaviour and culture around quote posts something that Mastodon is striving towards? I’m not clear to me what Mastodon’s answer is here.
Mastodon’s design research also says that they will display quotes in a different way to ‘steer away from dunk culture”‘, a feature not mentioned in Mastodon’s announcement blog post. Mastodon is planning to display a quote post by first showing the quote, and showing the reply below it. This is similar to how Tumblr does quote posts. But it differs from how all other platforms that interoperate with Mastodon display quote posts: fediverse native platforms like Misskey, Akkoma and Streams, as well as connected networks like Bluesky and Threads, all display quote posts by showing the reply at the top, and the quoted post below.
Mastodon’s position is that quote posts are a risky feature invite misuse, and thus need a variety of safety features. But Mastodon is not an isolated platform, it is connected to various other platforms that all have their own ideas about quote posts. If displaying quote posts Tumblr-style (quote above, comment below) is preferred over displaying them Twitter-style (comment above, quote below), what is the expectation on how other platforms should interact with Mastodon quotes? Is Misskey expected to display Mastodon’s quote post differently? Meanwhile, Mastodon is planning to display quotes that originate from Misskey not in the way that Misskey does (Twitter-style), but in their own manner (Tumblr-style), saying that it has “very little impact on the semantics”.
I find these statements hard to square: on the one hand, Mastodon says it how quote posts are displayed has little impact on the semantics of a post, but at the same time it is assumed to have enough of an impact in that it can reduce “dunking culture”. But if the manner a quote post is displayed can impact people’s behaviour, it automatically follows that the manner a quote post is displayed impacts its semantics, as otherwise there would be no impact on people’s behaviour either. But if the semantics of a post are altered by using a different display method for quote posts, than it means that Mastodon is taking an active decision to alter the semantics of posts made on other networks like Misskey and Bluesky.
Mastodon’s choice to use a different way of displaying quote posts than the other platforms in their network opens up a new interesting avenue for federated diplomacy. We’ve seen both ways of displaying quote posts be successful, the way posts are quoted is a significant part of how conversations flow on Tumblr. But what is new here is Mastodon is part of a federated network, and that means that their decisions impact other players, and their decisions have impact on Mastodon as well. This interaction between different display types of quote posts is something we have not really seen before, leading to some interesting new types of negotiations: how Mastodon expect Misskey to display Mastodon quote posts on Misskey? How does Threads feel about having their quote posts being displayed differently on Mastodon? What is the expected behaviour of Bridgy Fed, the bridge that connects Bluesky with Mastodon? All those questions are still open, and I’m curious what the answer will turn out to be.
Tumblr is still planning to join the fediverse. I reported this recently, and now TechCrunch got a followup and a confirmation from Automattic, saying that ‘Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”’
The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has announced they are now a formal member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C tends to favour institutional membership, but the W3C Social Community Group that concerns itself with ActivityPub is open to everyone. The SWF is working on various improvements to ActivityPub, such as adding end-to-end encryption and supporting data portability.
Event Federation is a WordPress plugin that extends the ActivityPub support plugin for WordPress by adding support for WordPress events. The plugin is now officially released as a 1.0 version.
Hexbear is a controversial Lemmy server that let domain expire. The Hexbear domain is now for sale, and an avid bidding war has driven up the price for the domain to over 2300 dollar at time of writing.
ForgeFed is an ActivityPub extension that adds federation support to software forges such as Forgejo. It has gotten a new NLnet grant, with the project now focusing on user research and documentation.
A few weeks ago, Fedidb removed fediverse platfrom GoToSocial from the database after refusing to honor robots.txt, and the GoToSocial developer spoofed data as retaliation. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault later decided to properly add support for robots.txt, but stopped crawling for the entire fediverse in the meantime while it was implemented. Supernault now confirms that Fedidb honors robots.txt and has added GoToSocial back to the data set.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has set up their own Mastodon server for all community members, including students.

Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be.
Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀
For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.
Huge thank you to @_elena for getting a photo of the team 📸

We're already working on it, and can't wait to build a sustainable, long term home for our ecosystem of projects!
That being said, if you could help us reach $200k, we can hire more team members.

FediDB respecting robots.txt has resulted in appr. 2M Fediverse accounts no longer being counted.
Prior to this change, #FediDB counted 12,923,233 accounts. Now it counts 10,868,233 accounts.
Now let me be blunt: respecting robots.txt is a good thing. But now when we look at #Fediverse accounts, it must clearly be seen with the acknowledgement that these only count services that haven’t opted out of tracking.
So when people compare user counts of #Bluesky vs. the Fediverse, remember that Bluesky has the luxury of a more complete count because they host all accounts there. In contrast, the Fediverse is actually decentralized, and a good many services simply do not want to be tracked – and are therefore not counted.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org
I wanted to see the current status of group actor support in #Mastodon.
This feature has been requested all the way back in 2016. It’s a feature request that is so old, it’s the 139th ticket. After it was made, @gargron stated shortly after:
I made a decision not to implement groups. They offer little benefit over a cost of added complexity, and the bangtag syntax personally irks me too.
A year later, he re-opened the feature request and said:
Reopening, but not high priority.
No further update since then. Nearly a decade after this feature had been requested, group support has not been added and it’s still not a high priority.
Now the intent of this post isn’t to wag my finger at Mastodon and say, “How dare they!” It’s clear that Mastodon is in a transitional state right now, and their focus is on other things – like quote posts and search.
But it is to say that the development of this feature is so completely out of Mastodon’s control that it now represents an opportunity loss for the platform. Because the truth is – whether or not Mastodon supports group actors – many Mastodon users are using it anyway even though this causes quite a few UI/UX problems along the way. Namely, the common Mastodon user cannot differentiate between a single user account and a group actor.
So now we have two groups of Mastodon users: those who want to make use of services like #Lemmy, #Piefed, #NodeBB, and those who are completely unaware of those services and ask, “Why the hell is Mastodon acting like this when I try to interact with that account?”
More to the point, group actors should be embraced because not only is this a valuable feature, but they’re also critical for community safety. No one can moderate a hashtag, but they can certainly moderate a Lemmy community.
Like I said, though, development of Mastodon is ongoing – whether Mastodon participates or not. And that specific element of the #Fediverse continues to grow, despite the fact that the most used Fediverse service (sans Threads) regards it as “low priority”. As long as Reddit and Facebook Groups users seek out an open, federated alternative, there will be demand for group actors.
Why am I saying all this? Because this is my plea for better interoperability. It is certainly within Mastodon’s right to be picky about what features they implement. However, the Fediverse would be plainly better if Mastodon finally supported this important ActivityPub standard.

@StefanMuenz@social.vivaldi.net ich habe #SaveSocial und #SoSollWeb in sehr vielen Äußerungen bisher so wahrgenommen, das die twitter und co. zurückhaben wollen, ohne ihre Arschlochbesitzer. Oder, was neues aufbauen.
In ganz wenigen Fällen habe ich lesen können, das das #Fediverse unterstützt werden soll oder ausgebaut. Was ich schon befremdlich an der ganzen Aktion finde.
Die Forderungen selbst, sind ja so weit ok und trage ich mit, nur lese ich da kein #Fediverse
Was den Artikle amgeht, der Schreibe unterligt da selber einer Fehlprägung durch KastenNetzwerke. Und das prägt auch seine Sicht auf das Fediverse.
Wer definiert denn was Nische ist? Das ist eine rein subjektive Betrachtung.
"Das Fediverse!" hat, so wie ich hiersozialisiert wurde, nie den Anspruch gehabt, mit den Konzerndiensten in Konkurrenz zu treten sondern hat sich immer als Alternative oder Erweiterung gesehen.
Und,
Die Frage ist also nicht, wie wir uns „alternative“ soziale Räume schaffen. Die Frage ist, wie wir die Mechanismen der digitalen Öffentlichkeit so nutzen, dass sie nicht weiter in die Hände autoritärer Kräfte fallen. Wir brauchen keine Parallelwelten, sondern Strategien für die Plattformen, die existieren.diese Frage stelle ich mir gar nicht mehr. Diese Plattformen sind verloren, weil sie ihre eigenen Spielregeln machen und man in ihnen nicht der Kunde, sondern die Ware ist. Das wird in den ganzen Betrachtungen gar nicht mit einbezogen.

#introduction Hi, I'm Goji! I'm brand new to the #fediverse !
I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in #cogsci
Lately I've been spending my free time less on writing (I do short stories, and I'd like to self-publish a full novel) and more on reading.
I play some video games, but being a linux-boi has pared that back quite a bit.
My other hobbies are mountain biking, music, and succumbing to depression under a blanket.
You can expect me to talk about: #PoliticalReform, #AI, #foss, #books, university, #veganism, my perfect cats, and other interesting things I am learning about.
I will try to balance my emo, millennial nature with wit and well-written posts about things that matter. If I sound like a whiny bitch, stick around for a bit and see if it changes?

@elena BlueSky is not linked to the #fediverse the only way to link those two is to use a bridge service like you used to. If you don't use a bridge you don't need to do anything else, there is no communication or data exchange between the two. As for threads, GotoSocial is incompatible with it (actually the reverse is true, threads doesn't implement Activity Pub correctly) so federation between those two ain't happening. @dumpsterqueer

Na ja, aus den 14 Tagen testen sind erst ein Monat geworden, dann 2 und dann habe ich überlegt, ob ich nicht @Carlos fragen kann, das ich bleiben darf. Ein zurück gab es für mich dann nicht mehr.

I.e., no one actually "owns" their .COM, .LINK, .NET, .SOCIAL, .XYZ, etc Internet domain name
The people behind Mastodon don't actually "own" mastodon.social

Let's be honest, there is no #search feature in #fediverse (#mastodon)...
The absence of a full-text search feature in Mastodon and the broader Fediverse is a multifaceted issue with both intentional design choices and practical challenges.
New users may struggle to find relevant content or communities, hindering engagement and adoption. This contrasts sharply with centralized platforms like Twitter, where search drives content virality.
So Users have to manually tag posts (#) for discoverability, which can feel burdensome but fosters organized, topic-focused discussions.
My thoughts...
Opt-In Search???
Instances could allow users to index their content for cross-server discovery, respecting decentralization while improving usability...
Decentralized indexing protocol???

@LaurensHof@fediversereport.com
Fediverse Report – #104
Mastodon has announced it will add quote posts to the platform, and some more news.
Mastodon has announced it is adding quote posts to the platform, a long-awaited feature. Mastodon got a grant by NLnet in 2024 to add quote posts, and they are now sharing an update on their work. Mastodon is adding a variety of features to quote posts, such as giving people the ability to opt out of being quote posted. They will publish the technical work to support quote posts as Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, and Mastodon is currently in the process of writing these proposals. The organisation does not say when quote posts will be added, only noting that it ‘will still take more time to develop.’
For a long time, Mastodon had not implemented quote posts because CEO Eugen Rochko saw them as bad. His main concern is that quote posts lead to ‘dunking’ and toxic behaviour. Dunking refers to the behaviour where people use quote posts to ‘dunk’ on other people’s post, often with the intent that this mocking will lead to their followers to also mock and harass the original poster. Dunking was a visible part of Twitter’s culture, and in popular belief dunking and toxicity became linked together. Research showed a more complicated picture. Hilda Bastian analysed over 30 studies on quote tweeting, and concludes: “There’s conflicting evidence on whether QTs [quote Tweets] increase or decrease incivility, and whatever effect there is, it doesn’t seem to be major.“
In 2023 Mastodon changed their opinion, and first started saying that the organisation was open to implementing quote posts. Still, toxic behaviour via dunking continued to be a main concern. This is visible in the accompanying design research that Mastodon has done in their work on quote posts. Mastodon’s view seems to be that quote posts are toxic at it’s core, saying that “the team started out with a shared view that Quote Posts can be misused.”
Mastodon takes a technical approach to dealing to the purported problem of toxicity of quote posts, and the blog posts lists three features to mitigate it: people can choose if their posts are able to be quoted, people get notified if they are quoted, and there will be the ability to withdraw your post from the quoted context. Bluesky also has these features for quote posts, and they’re generally received well. What I find missing here is a take by Mastodon on the effect of these features on Bluesky. Mastodon sees quote posts as being dangerous, and that is why they will implement some features to mitigate the risk. But do they think that quote posts are being used well on Bluesky? Is Bluesky’s behaviour and culture around quote posts something that Mastodon is striving towards? I’m not clear to me what Mastodon’s answer is here.
Mastodon’s design research also says that they will display quotes in a different way to ‘steer away from dunk culture”‘, a feature not mentioned in Mastodon’s announcement blog post. Mastodon is planning to display a quote post by first showing the quote, and showing the reply below it. This is similar to how Tumblr does quote posts. But it differs from how all other platforms that interoperate with Mastodon display quote posts: fediverse native platforms like Misskey, Akkoma and Streams, as well as connected networks like Bluesky and Threads, all display quote posts by showing the reply at the top, and the quoted post below.
Mastodon’s position is that quote posts are a risky feature invite misuse, and thus need a variety of safety features. But Mastodon is not an isolated platform, it is connected to various other platforms that all have their own ideas about quote posts. If displaying quote posts Tumblr-style (quote above, comment below) is preferred over displaying them Twitter-style (comment above, quote below), what is the expectation on how other platforms should interact with Mastodon quotes? Is Misskey expected to display Mastodon’s quote post differently? Meanwhile, Mastodon is planning to display quotes that originate from Misskey not in the way that Misskey does (Twitter-style), but in their own manner (Tumblr-style), saying that it has “very little impact on the semantics”.
I find these statements hard to square: on the one hand, Mastodon says it how quote posts are displayed has little impact on the semantics of a post, but at the same time it is assumed to have enough of an impact in that it can reduce “dunking culture”. But if the manner a quote post is displayed can impact people’s behaviour, it automatically follows that the manner a quote post is displayed impacts its semantics, as otherwise there would be no impact on people’s behaviour either. But if the semantics of a post are altered by using a different display method for quote posts, than it means that Mastodon is taking an active decision to alter the semantics of posts made on other networks like Misskey and Bluesky.
Mastodon’s choice to use a different way of displaying quote posts than the other platforms in their network opens up a new interesting avenue for federated diplomacy. We’ve seen both ways of displaying quote posts be successful, the way posts are quoted is a significant part of how conversations flow on Tumblr. But what is new here is Mastodon is part of a federated network, and that means that their decisions impact other players, and their decisions have impact on Mastodon as well. This interaction between different display types of quote posts is something we have not really seen before, leading to some interesting new types of negotiations: how Mastodon expect Misskey to display Mastodon quote posts on Misskey? How does Threads feel about having their quote posts being displayed differently on Mastodon? What is the expected behaviour of Bridgy Fed, the bridge that connects Bluesky with Mastodon? All those questions are still open, and I’m curious what the answer will turn out to be.
Tumblr is still planning to join the fediverse. I reported this recently, and now TechCrunch got a followup and a confirmation from Automattic, saying that ‘Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”’
The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has announced they are now a formal member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C tends to favour institutional membership, but the W3C Social Community Group that concerns itself with ActivityPub is open to everyone. The SWF is working on various improvements to ActivityPub, such as adding end-to-end encryption and supporting data portability.
Event Federation is a WordPress plugin that extends the ActivityPub support plugin for WordPress by adding support for WordPress events. The plugin is now officially released as a 1.0 version.
Hexbear is a controversial Lemmy server that let domain expire. The Hexbear domain is now for sale, and an avid bidding war has driven up the price for the domain to over 2300 dollar at time of writing.
ForgeFed is an ActivityPub extension that adds federation support to software forges such as Forgejo. It has gotten a new NLnet grant, with the project now focusing on user research and documentation.
A few weeks ago, Fedidb removed fediverse platfrom GoToSocial from the database after refusing to honor robots.txt, and the GoToSocial developer spoofed data as retaliation. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault later decided to properly add support for robots.txt, but stopped crawling for the entire fediverse in the meantime while it was implemented. Supernault now confirms that Fedidb honors robots.txt and has added GoToSocial back to the data set.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has set up their own Mastodon server for all community members, including students.

As a direct consequence, the majority of #GlobalSouth users who drift into the #Fediverse get disillusioned, and return/move on to #Facebook or #Twitter or #Threads.
The #GlobalNorth users on the Fediverse never even become aware of this loss; though many of them perceive the monotony of voices/topics, and silently move out; leaving behind a tiny, malnourished social medium.
@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post
That’s it, that’s the mechanism.
Forget #GlobalNorth users, even #GlobalSouth users cannot find fellow users from their regions, or find posts about the global south, even if both exist.
This happens with most global south users, and with an overwhelming majority of the posts on global south topics.
That’s how #Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, invisiblize the global south.

An overwhelming majority of #GlobalNorth users have no interest in #GlobalSouth topics. They neither follow users focussed on global south issues, nor boost or like posts on global south topics.
That’s their prerogative, of course; but that is also the root cause underlying the above dynamic. There is no obvious resolution to it, at least not within the narrow confines of the #Fediverse.

🧵 on how #Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, invisiblize the #GlobalSouth.
I have argued a few times that for all practical purposes, the global south does not exist for Mastodon, and for the rest of the Fediverse. But many people I interact with do not quite understand how this works in practice.
This series of posts is an effort to illustrate that mechanism.

Fediverse Reportが、Mastodonで実装予定の引用機能とその影響について論じてる。
Mastodon CEOのEugen氏は、引用機能が嘲笑や嫌がらせなどの有害行為につながると考えてきた。
一方で、Twitterの引用ツイートに関する30以上の研究を分析した報告では、引用機能が有害行為を増やすか減らすかについては"矛盾する証拠があり、どんな影響があるとしても、それは大きなものではない"と結論付けられてるとのこと。

#FediDB respecting robots.txt has really changed how stats are tabulated.
Prior to this change, there were 997 #Pleroma servers that were counted. Now the count has been reduced to 582.
With #WordPress, the difference is more stark. Prior to the change, there was over 9,000 WordPress servers counted. Now the count is at 3,578 servers.
To be sure, I’m not complaining – privacy is important. But it is to say that #ActivityPub user counts should have a big asterisk: many servers have opted out of being crawled. This means they are not being counted.
FediDB says there are 12,923,059 accounts across the #Fediverse. But this is actually drastically higher.

Fediverse Report – #104
Mastodon has announced it will add quote posts to the platform, and some more news.
Mastodon has announced it is adding quote posts to the platform, a long-awaited feature. Mastodon got a grant by NLnet in 2024 to add quote posts, and they are now sharing an update on their work. Mastodon is adding a variety of features to quote posts, such as giving people the ability to opt out of being quote posted. They will publish the technical work to support quote posts as Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, and Mastodon is currently in the process of writing these proposals. The organisation does not say when quote posts will be added, only noting that it ‘will still take more time to develop.’
For a long time, Mastodon had not implemented quote posts because CEO Eugen Rochko saw them as bad. His main concern is that quote posts lead to ‘dunking’ and toxic behaviour. Dunking refers to the behaviour where people use quote posts to ‘dunk’ on other people’s post, often with the intent that this mocking will lead to their followers to also mock and harass the original poster. Dunking was a visible part of Twitter’s culture, and in popular belief dunking and toxicity became linked together. Research showed a more complicated picture. Hilda Bastian analysed over 30 studies on quote tweeting, and concludes: “There’s conflicting evidence on whether QTs [quote Tweets] increase or decrease incivility, and whatever effect there is, it doesn’t seem to be major.“
In 2023 Mastodon changed their opinion, and first started saying that the organisation was open to implementing quote posts. Still, toxic behaviour via dunking continued to be a main concern. This is visible in the accompanying design research that Mastodon has done in their work on quote posts. Mastodon’s view seems to be that quote posts are toxic at it’s core, saying that “the team started out with a shared view that Quote Posts can be misused.”
Mastodon takes a technical approach to dealing to the purported problem of toxicity of quote posts, and the blog posts lists three features to mitigate it: people can choose if their posts are able to be quoted, people get notified if they are quoted, and there will be the ability to withdraw your post from the quoted context. Bluesky also has these features for quote posts, and they’re generally received well. What I find missing here is a take by Mastodon on the effect of these features on Bluesky. Mastodon sees quote posts as being dangerous, and that is why they will implement some features to mitigate the risk. But do they think that quote posts are being used well on Bluesky? Is Bluesky’s behaviour and culture around quote posts something that Mastodon is striving towards? I’m not clear to me what Mastodon’s answer is here.
Mastodon’s design research also says that they will display quotes in a different way to ‘steer away from dunk culture”‘, a feature not mentioned in Mastodon’s announcement blog post. Mastodon is planning to display a quote post by first showing the quote, and showing the reply below it. This is similar to how Tumblr does quote posts. But it differs from how all other platforms that interoperate with Mastodon display quote posts: fediverse native platforms like Misskey, Akkoma and Streams, as well as connected networks like Bluesky and Threads, all display quote posts by showing the reply at the top, and the quoted post below.
Mastodon’s position is that quote posts are a risky feature invite misuse, and thus need a variety of safety features. But Mastodon is not an isolated platform, it is connected to various other platforms that all have their own ideas about quote posts. If displaying quote posts Tumblr-style (quote above, comment below) is preferred over displaying them Twitter-style (comment above, quote below), what is the expectation on how other platforms should interact with Mastodon quotes? Is Misskey expected to display Mastodon’s quote post differently? Meanwhile, Mastodon is planning to display quotes that originate from Misskey not in the way that Misskey does (Twitter-style), but in their own manner (Tumblr-style), saying that it has “very little impact on the semantics”.
I find these statements hard to square: on the one hand, Mastodon says it how quote posts are displayed has little impact on the semantics of a post, but at the same time it is assumed to have enough of an impact in that it can reduce “dunking culture”. But if the manner a quote post is displayed can impact people’s behaviour, it automatically follows that the manner a quote post is displayed impacts its semantics, as otherwise there would be no impact on people’s behaviour either. But if the semantics of a post are altered by using a different display method for quote posts, than it means that Mastodon is taking an active decision to alter the semantics of posts made on other networks like Misskey and Bluesky.
Mastodon’s choice to use a different way of displaying quote posts than the other platforms in their network opens up a new interesting avenue for federated diplomacy. We’ve seen both ways of displaying quote posts be successful, the way posts are quoted is a significant part of how conversations flow on Tumblr. But what is new here is Mastodon is part of a federated network, and that means that their decisions impact other players, and their decisions have impact on Mastodon as well. This interaction between different display types of quote posts is something we have not really seen before, leading to some interesting new types of negotiations: how Mastodon expect Misskey to display Mastodon quote posts on Misskey? How does Threads feel about having their quote posts being displayed differently on Mastodon? What is the expected behaviour of Bridgy Fed, the bridge that connects Bluesky with Mastodon? All those questions are still open, and I’m curious what the answer will turn out to be.
Tumblr is still planning to join the fediverse. I reported this recently, and now TechCrunch got a followup and a confirmation from Automattic, saying that ‘Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”’
The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has announced they are now a formal member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C tends to favour institutional membership, but the W3C Social Community Group that concerns itself with ActivityPub is open to everyone. The SWF is working on various improvements to ActivityPub, such as adding end-to-end encryption and supporting data portability.
Event Federation is a WordPress plugin that extends the ActivityPub support plugin for WordPress by adding support for WordPress events. The plugin is now officially released as a 1.0 version.
Hexbear is a controversial Lemmy server that let domain expire. The Hexbear domain is now for sale, and an avid bidding war has driven up the price for the domain to over 2300 dollar at time of writing.
ForgeFed is an ActivityPub extension that adds federation support to software forges such as Forgejo. It has gotten a new NLnet grant, with the project now focusing on user research and documentation.
A few weeks ago, Fedidb removed fediverse platfrom GoToSocial from the database after refusing to honor robots.txt, and the GoToSocial developer spoofed data as retaliation. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault later decided to properly add support for robots.txt, but stopped crawling for the entire fediverse in the meantime while it was implemented. Supernault now confirms that Fedidb honors robots.txt and has added GoToSocial back to the data set.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has set up their own Mastodon server for all community members, including students.

As it is now, I think the 'discoverable' flag is broken.
And, I think the whole user-experience (UX) around the 'discoverable' flag is poor.
And, I think Fediverse software treating a 'false' value for 'discoverable' as "not discoverable" (rather than "not discoverable" or "no choice made") has hugely negative consequences for the user-experience (UX) of the Fediverse

So now I have to DM Ben to tell him that his 'discoverable' flag is set to false
He (just like everyone else I contacted) will likely not even be aware that the 'discoverable' flag exists
And (just like everyone else I contacted) wished it wasn't set to false
And then (just like everyone else I contacted) struggle to find where he can set it to true
And then set it

As it is now, the 'discoverable' flag seems broken to me.
Because 'false' doesn't actually mean 'false'.
'false' (in practice) means both "not discoverable" and "no choice made". And this is a very unfortunate situation —
Because the idea of a 'discoverable' flag is a good idea — but this problem with the meaning of 'false' and the UX consequences a big deal.

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.
We could have had so that:
'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.
'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.
And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

With other conceptions, this lack of choice — this lack of setting a value — isn't as muddled.
With optional-types (which are also called "option-types" and "maybe-types") when something isn't assigned a value it is represented as 'nothing' / 'none'.
In relation-databases, this is represented as 'null'.

As it is right now, the 'discoverable' flag does not communicate whether the user actually made a 'true' or 'false' choice.
If it is 'true' we know they made a choice.
But if it is 'false' it either means the user chose 'false' or the user didn't make a choice. BUT WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

Mastodon’s view seems to be that quote posts are toxic at it’s core, saying that “the team started out with a shared view that Quote Posts can be misused.”
Mastodon takes a technical approach to dealing to the purported problem of toxicity of quote posts, and the blog posts lists three features to mitigate it: people can choose if their posts are able to be quoted, people get notified if they are quoted, and there will be the ability to withdraw your post from the quoted context. Bluesky also has these features for quote posts, and they’re generally received well. What I find missing here is a take by Mastodon on the effect of these features on Bluesky. Mastodon sees quote posts as being dangerous, and that is why they will implement some features to mitigate the risk. But do they think that quote posts are being used well on Bluesky? Is Bluesky’s behaviour and culture around quote posts something that Mastodon is striving towards? I’m not clear to me what Mastodon’s answer is here.
Mastodon’s design research also says that they will display quotes in a different way to ‘steer away from dunk culture”‘, a feature not mentioned in Mastodon’s announcement blog post. Mastodon is planning to display a quote post by first showing the quote, and showing the reply below it. This is similar to how Tumblr does quote posts. But it differs from how all other platforms that interoperate with Mastodon display quote posts: fediverse native platforms like Misskey, Akkoma and Streams, as well as connected networks like Bluesky and Threads, all display quote posts by showing the reply at the top, and the quoted post below.
Mastodon’s position is that quote posts are a risky feature invite misuse, and thus need a variety of safety features. But Mastodon is not an isolated platform, it is connected to various other platforms that all have their own ideas about quote posts. If displaying quote posts Tumblr-style (quote above, comment below) is preferred over displaying them Twitter-style (comment above, quote below), what is the expectation on how other platforms should interact with Mastodon quotes? Is Misskey expected to display Mastodon’s quote post differently? Meanwhile, Mastodon is planning to display quotes that originate from Misskey not in the way that Misskey does (Twitter-style), but in their own manner (Tumblr-style), saying that it has “very little impact on the semantics”.
I find these statements hard to square: on the one hand, Mastodon says it how quote posts are displayed has little impact on the semantics of a post, but at the same time it is assumed to have enough of an impact in that it can reduce “dunking culture”. But if the manner a quote post is displayed can impact people’s behaviour, it automatically follows that the manner a quote post is displayed impacts its semantics, as otherwise there would be no impact on people’s behaviour either. But if the semantics of a post are altered by using a different display method for quote posts, than it means that Mastodon is taking an active decision to alter the semantics of posts made on other networks like Misskey and Bluesky.
Mastodon’s choice to use a different way of displaying quote posts than the other platforms in their network opens up a new interesting avenue for federated diplomacy. We’ve seen both ways of displaying quote posts be successful, the way posts are quoted is a significant part of how conversations flow on Tumblr. But what is new here is Mastodon is part of a federated network, and that means that their decisions impact other players, and their decisions have impact on Mastodon as well. This interaction between different display types of quote posts is something we have not really seen before, leading to some interesting new types of negotiations: how Mastodon expect Misskey to display Mastodon quote posts on Misskey? How does Threads feel about having their quote posts being displayed differently on Mastodon? What is the expected behaviour of Bridgy Fed, the bridge that connects Bluesky with Mastodon? All those questions are still open, and I’m curious what the answer will turn out to be.
Tumblr is still planning to join the fediverse. I reported this recently, and now TechCrunch got a followup and a confirmation from Automattic, saying that ‘Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”’
The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has announced they are now a formal member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C tends to favour institutional membership, but the W3C Social Community Group that concerns itself with ActivityPub is open to everyone. The SWF is working on various improvements to ActivityPub, such as adding end-to-end encryption and supporting data portability.
Event Federation is a WordPress plugin that extends the ActivityPub support plugin for WordPress by adding support for WordPress events. The plugin is now officially released as a 1.0 version.
Hexbear is a controversial Lemmy server that let domain expire. The Hexbear domain is now for sale, and an avid bidding war has driven up the price for the domain to over 2300 dollar at time of writing.
ForgeFed is an ActivityPub extension that adds federation support to software forges such as Forgejo. It has gotten a new NLnet grant, with the project now focusing on user research and documentation.
A few weeks ago, Fedidb removed fediverse platfrom GoToSocial from the database after refusing to honor robots.txt, and the GoToSocial developer spoofed data as retaliation. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault later decided to properly add support for robots.txt, but stopped crawling for the entire fediverse in the meantime while it was implemented. Supernault now confirms that Fedidb honors robots.txt and has added GoToSocial back to the data set.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has set up their own Mastodon server for all community members, including students.

Hi, I see that it's customary to make an #introduction post here. I go by jqubed, as in j cubed. I'm not exactly new to the fediverse but this is my start with a federated microblogging service. I've been active on #lemmy for a little over a year and would occasionally see blog posts by @_elena@mastodon.social about the #fediverse and it was her post about Sharkey that pushed me to sign-up on a #sharkey instance. I'm a husband and stepdad, I like playing games (electronic and physical) and watching sports but don't have us much time for either as I'd like, and I'm hoping to start doing some #selfhosting this year. Last year, at age 40, I found out that I have #adhd and am still trying to find a medication that helps (the first did but I built a tolerance to it) so that probably makes that time question more challenging.

As it is now, I think the 'discoverable' flag is broken.
And, I think the whole user-experience (UX) around the 'discoverable' flag is poor.
And, I think Fediverse software treating a 'false' value for 'discoverable' as "not discoverable" (rather than "not discoverable" or "no choice made") has hugely negative consequences for the user-experience (UX) of the Fediverse

So now I have to DM Ben to tell him that his 'discoverable' flag is set to false
He (just like everyone else I contacted) will likely not even be aware that the 'discoverable' flag exists
And (just like everyone else I contacted) wished it wasn't set to false
And then (just like everyone else I contacted) struggle to find where he can set it to true
And then set it

As it is now, the 'discoverable' flag seems broken to me.
Because 'false' doesn't actually mean 'false'.
'false' (in practice) means both "not discoverable" and "no choice made". And this is a very unfortunate situation —
Because the idea of a 'discoverable' flag is a good idea — but this problem with the meaning of 'false' and the UX consequences a big deal.

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.
We could have had so that:
'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.
'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.
And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

With other conceptions, this lack of choice — this lack of setting a value — isn't as muddled.
With optional-types (which are also called "option-types" and "maybe-types") when something isn't assigned a value it is represented as 'nothing' / 'none'.
In relation-databases, this is represented as 'null'.

As it is right now, the 'discoverable' flag does not communicate whether the user actually made a 'true' or 'false' choice.
If it is 'true' we know they made a choice.
But if it is 'false' it either means the user chose 'false' or the user didn't make a choice. BUT WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

We also try our best, to make our toots also in english, but our beautiful dialect doesn't work so well with that. Think the text maybe in an hard accent with a very hard and throaty "K". For some #introduction :
We are "Schwarz Mander" and play "Alte Tiroler Brutalität". Roughly you can say, we play a mixture of #metal, #doom, #rock and #punk. Our lyrics are in tyrolian accent, the #music are played by bass and drums, and yodeling also can happen.
If you want to take a listen, our first concert is online to stream for free here:

Bluesky introduces refined reply controls. This is a tough UI design as there are quite a few ways to combine restrictions. Easy to make it too complex and then no one uses it. This level of control is making its way into the fediverse as well.
Bonfire and GoToSocial both offer similar levels of reply controls.

Comments on Mastodon don't federate as easily along the post itself. I find myself opening the original post in a browser more and more to see all the comments collected and if anyone is challenging the veracity of some news.

I can tell you from experience of hosting many people's Fediverse server instances for a number of years now that —
Many Fediverse software (at least currently) do a poor job of cleaning-up their various caches
Caching other people's profiles, images, posts, etc
And, this often ends up filling up the storage drive
And as a result, this is a very common thing that causes down-time for people. Probably the most common

Adding meaningful alt-text is not only important for everyone using a screenreader and an essential #inclusion and #accessibility requirement. Alt-text is also searchable and used by filters. People who prefer to filter certain people and topics for mental health and other reasons can't filter memes or images without it. Please use alt-text and cw generously 🙏
Added bonus: with added alt-text you can find images in your own posts with "from:me" and people are more likely to boost your posts.

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.
Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.
Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

There we go. #Snac2 up and running with the preferred installation process. Added custom styling to boot. One confusion point with styling is that it does NOT affect the root page (greeting.html) only the profile pages. So I thought I had done something wrong, but finally figured it out.

FediOnFire was a hobby project designed to showcase a firehose of public statuses across the Fediverse. Developed by Roni Laukkarinen (@rolle), it aimed to highlight the diversity of the network. Unfortunately, some community members misinterpreted and discredited the project, which led to ugly backlash and resulted in its shutdown.

Tech is political, yes. Let’s unpack the key *political* concepts behind *technical* features that indicate a good sign (singular because they have to be complete) for platforms:
1. #Decentralization - expression of celebrating multiple cultures. For-profit organizations will do their best to dilute this concept because multiple voices are harder to sell
2. #Federation - the layer on top of decentralization that allows interaction between cultures; it facilitates “crossing borders”
3. #SelfHosting - empowering individuals and communities to have sovereignty on their digital lives

User profiles, posts, images, and other content is cached across the various servers on the Fediverse.
Conceptually, software could access any of that from any server that cached it (and not just the origin server).
You could have a type of Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN) if you did.

I see that in 2025, I've been posting in Finnish 90% of the time and in English only 10%, mainly due to the huge influx of Finnish users this year. In previous years, it was the opposite - 90% English and 10% Finnish.
The best part? It doesn't matter here in the Fediverse. With language filtering and translation features, it's truly a top-tier social media.

But, I now have a ballpark for how much the room rental is approximately going to cost.
So, including taxes, and keeping in mind this is for 2 days and not 1 day (so we have to double it), it is probably going to cost about:
$4,500
... to rent the room for 2 days.

So —
№1: I could change the day(s) of the week I am trying to make the conference happen.
№2: I could try a different room / location for all or one of the days.
№3: I could try a different month of the year.
So, I will follow up with the person to try to figure out something that works.

I am trying to put the conference on a weekend — i.e., Saturday & Sunday.
And trying to put the conference in the summer (because the weather is a lot nicer there in the summer).
I asked them if the room is still available on any weekend (Saturday & Sunday) in August this year.
The room is still available on every Saturday in August, but — the room is occupied every Sunday until 1:30pm.

The person who replied said —
"The room rental for 1 session is: $1,035.00 + taxes"
"The room rental for 2 sessions is: $1,480.00 + taxes"
The person didn't mention what the room rental cost would be for all 3 sessions though. (I.e., for the whole day.) But, I suppose I could guess it is about:
$1,925.00 + taxes
(i.e., $1,925.00 = $1,480 + ($1,480 - $1,035).)

Organizers Log:
I received a reply about the room I am trying to rent for this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon), that I mentioned here:
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114003671300156925
I got back pricing information.
It seems they rent rooms by "session". And there are 3 "sessions" per days:
• 8 am - 12 pm (morning session)
• 1 pm - 5 pm (afternoon session)
• 6 am - 10 pm (evening session)

Could ActivityPub / ActivityStreams be used to synchronize files across separate machines / computers / devices‽
I think the answer is, YES.
❦
The inbox-outbox system could enable you to send messages between separate machines / computers / devices.
The 'messages' transfer the changed 'blocks' / 'chunks' that make up a file, notify about deletions, file creations, etc
Existing Activity Types might be sufficient to do this

We'd like to hear your thoughts on something we've been considering.
As you know, Hollo has always been focused on self-hosting—this won't change, and our source code will continue to be available under the AGPLv3 license.
We're exploring ways to make the project more sustainable, and we're considering offering a hosting service for those who regularly support us with a certain amount through @opencollective.
This would be an additional option for those who want to use Hollo without managing the technical aspects themselves. Of course, you'll still be able to self-host just like you do now.
What are your thoughts on this idea? Please vote below! 📊

Had some fun today installing @hollo because you can never have enough fediverse accounts, right? I'm definitely not avoiding the real world with this distraction. 👀
Hollo is a single / low user platform for the fediverse. It runs on the @fedify framework and supports quote posts, markdown, and emoji reactions.
I went off the beaten path a bit and customized the composer file. Here's my notes on the install process.

Hah! I knew it. I knew the fediverse would pop up as I explore Gemini. Adding this to my collection of platforms to try.

Organizers Log:
I continue to work on figuring out what it will cost to put on this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).
One question —
Should we give out Lanyards?
They are those things people are sometimes given at conferences that they put around their necks and usually some type of "badge" with their name on it, hangs from it
And if yes, should they be "branded"?
I know some people keep them as souvenirs
But they have a cost
@reiver@mastodon.social
Organizers Log:
I am working on figuring out what it will cost to put on this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).
I have reached out to one location to figure out №1 is the room I am interested in renting for FediCon available, and №2 how much will it cost to rent it (for 2 consecutive days).
I am going to try to put the conference on a weekend (Saturday & Sunday). But that depends on availability and price differences.

I'm reading a Finnish book called "Vihainen mieli — Maalittamista ja vihapuhetta" (2024, by Heidi Holmavuo and Sami Sallinen) (roughly translated as "An Angry Mind — Targeting and Shaming Online").
This book is spot-on. My psychotherapist recommended it to me after I experienced a bullying campaign orchestrated by the self-righteous Fediverse police.
The book vividly illustrates the harmful effects of online harassment, emphasizing that it's often driven by a vocal minority seeking to justify their hatred.
A roughly translated excerpt:
"American social psychologist Roy Baumeister has studied the psychology of those who engage in insults. He has examined how insulters function within a group and how they perceive themselves in the moment. Baumeister's research reveals that one of the driving forces behind abusive behavior is a threatened ego or self-image. When someone feels unappreciated or perceives their cherished self-image as being challenged, their instinctive defense is to insult others. The goal is to attack before the other person can - even if that person has no intention of doing so."
What an incredible read so far.

Happy I ❤️ Free Software Day! A day to say a big thank you to all the amazing projects that make our life easier and all those maintainers behind them!
My 2025 thank you goes to @GIMP and of course kudos to my colleagues from the @fsfe. I couldn't be prouder of their work towards #SoftwareFreedom and it is an honor to be part of the :fsfe: team!
@vattuvarg@mastodon.green
Could the different #fediverse services be branches of just one (distributed) repository?
Could the services become modules of a unified fediverse server?
Could that lead to a multi-service app in the future?
@hankg@friendica.myportal.social
@reiver@mastodon.social
Is any Fediverse software using or generating the 'View' activity-type?
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-view
You could create view-counts on posts, profiles, etc, using this.
Of course, there are privacy concerns with this.
And, also, what counts as a "view".
Although, I sometimes use a "Like" to indicate I viewed something. If a 'View' was something manual (such a pressing a button) that could be more semantically clean.

To me, it feels like the Activity Types should have been past-tense verbs, rather than present-tense verbs.
I.e.:
• "Accepted" rather than "Accept"
• "Added" rather than "Add"
• "Announced" rather than "Announce"
• "Arrived" rather than "Arrive"
• "Blocked" rather than "Block"
• "Created" rather than "Create"
• etc
Present-tense verbs feel like commands.
Past-tense verbs feel like events.
Activities are events not commands.

I've been contemplating ways the #Fediverse can and/or needs to expand. I'm working with schools in partnership to use #Mastodon for instructional purposes. I'm also thinking about where my business can lead the way with commercial applications. I understand the historical norms for the community here. However, there comes a day where things must come together. Question is - what do we want that to look like? Brand accounts seem most logical direction from where we are now - but there is more...

Spoke to my friends about the #fediverse and how the services offered (PeerTube, Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed) all require a lot of content to feel worthwhile. No one wants to hang around on a social media platform with no users.
So why isn't there a fediverse alternative to something like Snapchat? Works in a small group of friends. You don't need to convince the whole world or your favourite artist to join - just your closest friends?

Peertube is so cool. I'm watching a recent video from a popular channel and just noticed I uploaded more data to other peers while watching the video than I downloaded from the server. It's a clever and completely frictionless implementation which alleviates some of the load (and cost!) from servers hosting videos.

We'd like to hear your thoughts on something we've been considering.
As you know, Hollo has always been focused on self-hosting—this won't change, and our source code will continue to be available under the AGPLv3 license.
We're exploring ways to make the project more sustainable, and we're considering offering a hosting service for those who regularly support us with a certain amount through @opencollective.
This would be an additional option for those who want to use Hollo without managing the technical aspects themselves. Of course, you'll still be able to self-host just like you do now.

Hallo, wir sind #neuhier
Die Bundesakademie der AWO bietet bundesweit Weiterbildungen und Seminare für alle Mitarbeitenden in Sozialverbänden an. Wir möchten hier über unser Angebot informieren und vielleicht noch über das eine oder andere spannende Thema aus einem großen Sozialverband. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch im #Fediverse 😃
@kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de
»Das Internet zurückerobern« - ein Slogan, der in Petitionen und Initiativen gerne bemüht wird. Der Effekt? Meiner Meinung gering. Das Problem: Viele prominente Unterstützer predigen den digitalen Wandel, nutzen aber selbst keine Alternativen wie das #Fediverse. Statt echter Veränderung gibt es schicke Porträts, griffige Sprüche und eine Unterschrift. Wer wirklich etwas bewegen will, muss Alternativen aktiv nutzen, nicht nur irgendwo unterschreiben.

#Hollo everyone!
We'd like to hear your thoughts on something we've been considering.
As you know, Hollo has always been focused on self-hosting—this won't change, and our source code will continue to be available under the AGPLv3 license.
We're exploring ways to make the project more sustainable, and we're considering offering a hosting service for those who regularly support us with a certain amount through @opencollective.
This would be an additional option for those who want to use Hollo without managing the technical aspects themselves. Of course, you'll still be able to self-host just like you do now.

So you want to fight fascism and make a difference right now? Do this:
Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable and ethical EU-based anti-fascist¹ git hosting alternative that’s under attack by fascists as we speak:
Seriously, do it now.²
Volunteer and/or donate if you can.
Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.
When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

Peertube is so cool. I'm watching a recent video from a popular channel and just noticed I uploaded more data to other peers while watching the video than I downloaded from the server. It's a clever and completely frictionless implementation which alleviates some of the load (and cost!) from servers hosting videos.

Well, this is new.
Mastodon has a new "Who to follow" feature.
Pretty cool.

Right now most #Fediverse applications tightly bundle the back-end server and the front-end client
I think it would be better for the Fediverse if back-end servers and front-end clients were separate projects.
I think it would make Fediverse development easier
(Ex: if you just want a new user-experience, just make a new front-end client. Don't bother with the back-end server.)
And would make it so you can optimize installs easier
(You could pick the back-end server that matches your needs.)

I really wish @openvibe would have hashtag lists.
Mastodon advanced web interface allows you to have a hashtag timeline with up to 4 hashtags populating it.
It's how I browse Fedi a lot and if OpenVibe had it, I might be inclined to use it more.🤷♂️

I created this feed for @surfshop by @Flipboard
and I was, why it adds Machine Learning posts in my soccer feed?
Well, if you see in #SurfDawnPatrol you can add posts about a topic and posts mentioning a specific word. One of my topics is: "MLS" (Major League Soccer), thinking as developer I think if you add "by topic" it should consider synonyms. So if I want to have a feed about "cats", it also includes "cat", so I am guessing "MLS" also includes "ML"
Maybe we can have at least 3 letters or check if they are uppercase/acronyms to avoid that?

I think the one thing you have to be aware of in regards to denizens of the #fediverse is that they are verily fatigued by large commercial platforms because of the #ads, the predatory #algorithms, #darkdesignpatterns, #tracking all stemming from the need to #monetize.
Each of those points are important because something's shouldn't be monetized, like #databrokering.
That's why I am suggesting client side algorithmic discovery, or a private and safe alt.

The real magic of the #fediverse is collaboration.
Many of the largest projects have worked together behind the scenes on compatibility.
It's not that common now that ActivityPub has matured, but you better believe the early days of 2018 had big players like Mastodon and Pleroma working closely on compat.
#ActivityPub = Community + Collaboration
The magic formula that sets us apart!

SOooo.
I'm publishing a video tomorrow on @show that has some linked, downloaded, rescued government files pertaining to the video topic.
I'd like to #share those files using a #Federated system. Since our company #nextcloud server is hosted here at my studio, and we're already getting threats, I'd like to find a #fediverse file sharing system that's remote.
Any ideas? The files aren't big - like maybe 700 MB?

One #Mastodon / #Fediverse tip that I need to follow more often is:
Check out the profiles of people who boost your posts. Consider following them.
If someone is willing to boost what you said, there's a halfway-decent chance you agree on at least one issue and may end up being good mutual follows.

Would you prefer that YOU ARE HIDDEN on the Fediverse?
That nobody (new) ever follows you?
That nobody (new) ever sees your posts?
I KNOW THIS QUESTION SEEMS WEIRD, BUT — THERE IS A SMALL GROUP THAT IS CURRENTLY ARGUING MOST PEOPLE ON THE FEDIVERSE WANT TO BE HIDDEN IN THIS WAY
They don't represent me. And I don't think they should (even implicitly) speak for me
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HIDDEN LIKE THIS — PLEASE VOTE "NO"

Discovering the #fediverse gives me the same feelings #linux did years ago. The endless choice, excitement of discovery, clash of philosophies and a community.
I spent years #distrohopping from #ubuntu , #arch , #voidlinux , #nixos etc and then back to arch. Also spent a long time switching desktop environments and window managers like i3.
I started on #lemmy and #mastodon . What do I try next? #selfhost an #activitypub server? Which one?

For the first time, there was a specific track on the ‘Social Web’ dedicated to the #Fediverse. I also gave a short - rather atypical, because non-technical ;) - talk on ‘Fediverse Fighters - The Role of Public Institutions’ (https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025/talk/review/KVUBHC8SDES8VC3SGTPFP8HYJUWHRHVH).

2) Suspend CCS.
CCS and its CSAM detection and reporting service online is the most expensive project we operate, and will likely close between March 15 and March 30. The core technology requirements to simply operate the service exceed $60,000 per year, and that doesn’t include the legal advisory and content review support we need to bring this service to the #Fediverse in a broader fashion.

It's amazing to think about what a small group of hard-working people can do. From Mastodon to Pixelfed, Bluesky to Ghost, and all the many amazing projects both big and small! Every connected platform has pushed the boundaries of open social media and the Fediverse.

For this Fediverse conference in Canada —
One thing to figure out is — is the conference SINGLE-TRACK or MULTI-TRACK.
SINGLE-TRACK means that — we have a single (large) room, everyone at the conference is in that room, and only one presentation happens at a time.
MULTI-TRACK means that — we have multiple rooms, multiple presentations are happening at the same time, and people are split between these different rooms.

SpaceHost update:
We have been working on making it so SpaceHost hosted Fediverse server instances can be hosted outside of the U.S.
I think our first non-U.S. location is going to be in the EU — I think in Germany.
With the second, maybe Canada.
We have the system built now. And, are now testing it for QA, to make sure everything is working OK.

SpaceHost is a fully managed hosting service for ALL OF THE FEDIVERSE.

LogJam had some front-end code in it.
That has now been moved to another git repo. (The GreatApe front-end has its own repo.)
The only front-end code left in LogJam is a very minimal home-page (and a favicon and an og:image for the home-page).
@reiver@mastodon.social
The GreatApe code is divided into multiple git repos.
Part of the GreatApe back-end is called "LogJam". LogJam is the part of GreatApe for the P2P (tree organized) audio and video rooms.
(GreatApe is an audio & video conversations platform for the social-web and decentralized social-media (DeSo). Which, of course, includes the Fediverse.)
Myself and @muhammadzaidali have been cleaning up the LogJam code.

No. Fuck this. I literally left #Tumblr a few month ago because they have a serious infestation of #CP and child #SA. If you’re an admin, I’d suggest blocking Tumblr. The #Fediverse will have to deal with more and more of this as it becomes increasingly popular. #ActivityPub support or not, we do NOT want an invasion of #CorporateCorruption.

I have looked everywhere, but I can't find this post from 11 February! It isn't showing up in my Sent timeline. So if it is on my profile, and/or if you have seen it, I apologise.
I am not closing my account here, but I need to try something other than Friendica, due to accessibility issues. I am considering Akkoma, but am open to other networks if they are compatible with Mastodon.
I am seeking an instance with the following specifications.
Accessible interface (I use a screen reader called NVDA). If it uses Semantic html and isn't cluttered, that's a great start. I would prefer it to be compatible with Mastodon so that I could also use TweeseCake as a client. I need to easily be able to access things such as notifications, follow requests, my own posts, to be able to search for tags, people, my posts etc.
Posting limit of 5,000 characters or more (more preferred.
Ability to pin, unpin, edit, and delete posts.
Ability to filter content, so that I don't see certain words or phrases. (This doesn't work with TweeseCake, so it's not as important as the rest, unless the site is so accessible that I can use it often.)
Ability to select between seeing all posts of someone or only some, and to choose whether to let someone follow me without my seeing his posts or to follow him completely. (Friend versus Subscriber on Friendica).
Extensive profile with keywords. (Keywords may be a Friendica feature, so can be skipped.)
Most people write in English and are not politically, technologically, or gaming obsessed. No radicals of any pursuasion. (the English bit is just to help me find friends on my particular instance.)
Free speech (nothing illegal or homophobic). I personally avoid obscenities.)
If such an instance exists, please tell me. I found https://akkoma.fediverse.observer/list[7] but that's just a list with no real information about each instance. I would have to go through over 400 of them, choose the ones from the UK, Canada, and America (they're the most likely to have English instances), then go through those to see if they meet my requirements, but that's ridiculous.
I am not a programmer, so please don't suggest I start my own instance or join a network that is not set up with a webpage and/or to accept a client, as I know nothing about these things other than that they run on Linux and I'm a Windows user. I just want something that works. Also, if there are any demonstration instances, please let me know. I heard of one where accounts only lasted five days, but it seems to be gone.

I really really really wish @Mastodon had QTs.
Or at least rich text emedded post function.
I find it extremely limiting to share and comment coming from a small account and it's hard to have sustained engagement.

Is there a way to restrict replies to my posts to only people I follow without making the posts themselves hidden?
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org · Reply to BeAware :fediverse:'s post
@BeAware I’m not so familiar with her because I personally haven’t spoken to her. But it strikes me that the Fediverse itself has an internal conflict that has not been addressed.
One one hand, we need safe spaces where people are protected from harm. On the other hand, we need spaces that are both censorship resistant and redundant. The problem is, one person’s safety is another person’s censorship; and another person’s free speech may also cause harm.
Now the only way to allow these two things to happen is to allow for pluralism, and to stop seeing the #Fediverse as a singular space. This is one reason why I now prefer the term #SocialWeb for what I want to be built because what’s at heart here is that when you build an ActivityPub-enabled service, you are not necessarily building for one singular space.

Tumblr is going to join the fediverse! (Aka mastodon, Pixlr, PeerTube Etc.)
Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today.

@photomatt exciting to see Tumblr get closer to #Fediverse integration! Let us know if you want any help with bridging to #ATProto once it's ready so we can bring it to more folks on the open social web 🙂
@Banur@metalhead.club
Strange question, but why i don't see some toots with hashtags?
For example with #introduction i don't see anything.

Logged into Instagram to be greeted with this very nice announcement from @tainome announcing their imminent departure to the #fediverse... I wanted to highlight how great a way this is to do it. Leave a tombstone so people there know where your going and lay out exactly why it is that you need to leave. If enough people did this we would make some waves.

Last Week in Fediverse #103
This week I’m zooming in on the culture of the fediverse, prompted by the Superbowl halftime show. IFTAS announces they’ll run out of funding soon, indicating the challenges with funding Trust & Safety in the network.
Erin Kissane wrote an excellent article this week, about ‘bridging’ (connecting separate networks), fediverse culture, and why this regularly leads to drama and blowups. Kissane gives three explanations as to why this type of drama keeps happening, of which I want to highlight one: ‘Conflicting models of what the fediverse “really” is’. Kissane focuses on two different cultures on the fediverse regarding how connections between different places on the fediverse should be made, and how they should deal with consent.
I agree with Kissane’s observation, both that these competing models exist, as well as that a lack of acceptance that there are different models leads to conflict. Just last week I wrote about two separate cases of drama between various people about fediverse software that deals with these conflicting models on what the fediverse really is. In general I think that it is highly important to have a good understanding of what the fediverse truly is, and not only what people want the fediverse to be.
This Sunday was the NFL Superbowl, with the halftime show by Kendrick Lamar. Lamar made some powerful visual statements in his show, such as a flag of America that consists entirely of Black men. Browsing both the fediverse and Bluesky this Monday morning served as a good indication of how different the cultures of these two networks are.
On Bluesky, 20 of the most liked 25 posts of the entire network 1 discussed the Superbowl, and of those 20, 12 were specifically about Lamar’s halftime show. Shortly after the end of the show, network traffic spiked to almost double the traffic for a short period as people logged in to talk about the show.
On the fediverse, I had a hard time finding any posts discussing the Superbowl. I saw one post on the trending page of mastodon.social. Browsing through all posts made with the hashtag #superbowl gave me more than five times as much superb pictures of owls as it gave me posts about the halftime show.2 There is a long tradition of posting pictures of owls with the tag SuperbOwl, that far predates the fediverse.
It shows two social networks with very different cultures: one as a place to discuss mainstream cultural events, and one as a place for counterculture and the subversion of mainstream culture. I do not think this difference is an anomaly either, in general I see significantly less conversations about pop culture on the fediverse. This specific example with the Superbowl halftime show is just a clear example of a larger trend
To be clear here: this is not a criticism of the fediverse, nor is it a call for the fediverse to change and suddenly start posting about Lamar. The reason I’m highlighting these difference is to show what the fediverse actually is. There is a significant group of people that have an interest in the fediverse for the potential that it can be. This group frames the fediverse as an alternative to platforms like X, as a way to build social media platforms that are welcoming for everybody. This is a laudable goal to strive for. The ongoing coup in the US illustrates the urgent need for social platforms that are not owned by the oligarchy. But I also think that working towards such goals requires a good understanding what the fediverse currently actually is.
That is why I’m placing this observation in the context of Kissane’s post, who notes that people having ‘conflicting model of what the fediverse “really” is’ leads to conflict, and hampers potential for change in the fediverse. To me, how the fediverse responded to the Superbowl is a good illustration of the current culture of the network. What the fediverse currently is, is a countercultural network with little interest in mainstream pop culture. This is an absolutely fine identity to have! But for the people who are working to bringing the fediverse into the mainstream, it is important to realise that this countercultural identity clashes with with bringing a mainstream cultural identity to the fediverse.
IFTAS has announced that they are running out of funding, and that barring new funding sources that will come through this month, the organisation will have to scale down their activities significantly. IFTAS says that they are currently focused on getting funding for their Content Classification Service (CCS). CCS is an opt-in system which helps fediverse server admins with CSAM detection and reporting. Running a social networking server comes with a fair amount of requirements regarding reporting CSAM, which are difficult to do for fediverse admins. CCS is intended to help with that, but IFTAS describes it as an “a ridiculously expensive undertaking, far beyond what the community can support with individual donations”. If IFTAS cannot secure funding by the end of the month, they will have to suspend the operation of CCS and its CSAM detection service. Other work that IFTAS will have to halt if no funding comes through is giving policy guidance, like their recent work for server admins on how to navigate the new UK Online Safety Act.
Funding Trust & Safety has been a major challenge for the fediverse. Recently, Mastodon tried a fundraiser for a new Trust & Safety lead, where Mastodon only managed to raise 13k of the aimed 75k. It is a concerning situation for the fediverse. One of the selling points of the network is that it can be a safer place for vulnerable people. But it turns out that actually funding the work that can make the fediverse a safer place is a lot harder than it should be.
Tapestry is a new iOS app by Iconfactory, who once made the popular Twitter client Twitterific. Tapestry is a combination of a news reader and a social media site. It allows you to combine many feeds into a single timeline. Tapestry supports social feeds like Mastodon, Bluesky and Tumblr, as well as RSS, YouTube, and more. The app was funded via Kickstarter last year. In a review, David Pierce from The Verge describes Tapestry as a ‘timeline app’, in a similar category as apps like feeeed and Surf. In his review, Pierce describes how timeline apps are about consuming information and new in a different way, and help manage the information overload that social media feeds present us with. I think that is also why I find these types of apps interesting, as they also frame the fediverse in a different way. Most popular fediverse software like Mastodon and Pixelfed are wired around social interaction. However, they follow the same patterns as the Twitters and Instagrams that came before, and over the last 15 years society has reshaped itself so that platforms like Twitter became not only used for talking, but also as a way to distribute news. So far, the fediverse is repeating this structure; Mastodon is used both for organisations that just want to send out a link to their news article as well as for people to chat with their friends. Timeline apps like Tapestry help split out these use cases, and allow people to take one part of the interaction pattern of Mastodon (following news and updates) without the other pattern (chatting with friends).
Some more videos of fediverse presentations that happened at FOSDEM last week were published online:
The Brazilian Institute for Museums, a Brazilian government agency, is hiring two people to expand their integration with ActivityPub.
Flipboard has published more information and a schedule for Fediverse House, a conference about the social web. It will be held in Austin, Texas, on Sunday March 9th and Monday March 10th.

The app was funded via Kickstarter last year. In a review, David Pierce from The Verge describes Tapestry as a ‘timeline app’, in a similar category as apps like feeeed and Surf. In his review, Pierce describes how timeline apps are about consuming information and new in a different way, and help manage the information overload that social media feeds present us with. I think that is also why I find these types of apps interesting, as they also frame the fediverse in a different way. Most popular fediverse software like Mastodon and Pixelfed are wired around social interaction. However, they follow the same patterns as the Twitters and Instagrams that came before, and over the last 15 years society has reshaped itself so that platforms like Twitter became not only used for talking, but also as a way to distribute news. So far, the fediverse is repeating this structure; Mastodon is used both for organisations that just want to send out a link to their news article as well as for people to chat with their friends. Timeline apps like Tapestry help split out these use cases, and allow people to take one part of the interaction pattern of Mastodon (following news and updates) without the other pattern (chatting with friends).
Some more videos of fediverse presentations that happened at FOSDEM last week were published online:
The Brazilian Institute for Museums, a Brazilian government agency, is hiring two people to expand their integration with ActivityPub.
Flipboard has published more information and a schedule for Fediverse House, a conference about the social web. It will be held in Austin, Texas, on Sunday March 9th and Monday March 10th.
And some more links:
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

One thing that doesn’t change much compared to commercial social networks is that some “important” people (perhaps within the Fediverse, rather than in an absolute sense) tend to interact only with other “important” people.
On one hand, I can understand it - no one can realistically respond to thousands of messages. But when you notice that these individuals do engage with comments, yet only from others in the same “important” circle (without even leaving a simple "favorite" on comments), it’s clear that a sort of elite group has formed. In these cases, the dynamic doesn’t feel all that different from the “influencer” culture on commercial platforms.

Okay, #Fediverse experts. I'm still a relative noob here. I want to start a #list, but can I put hashtags in my list, or does it have to be specific accounts?

People who are well versed in the #Fediverse, help me out here.
I currently have web hosting through BlueHost and use #Wordpress.
I would like to set up #Pixelfed hosting for myself. I know there are many servers out there, but since I own my own hosting, I figured I don’t need to be a strain on someone else’s server if I can use my own.
Problem: when I look up how to set this up, I find a wall of code, and I am unfortunately not a coder.
Am I able to set this up myself?

Creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —
From a programmer's POV, for creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —
The client-side app doesn't care how the content gets into a feed
I.e., it doesn't care what algorithm you did or didn't use to create a Fediverse Custom Feed
You (the program powering the Fediverse Custom Feed) provides content — and the client-side app displays it.
Just set Actor type="Feed".

As is typical for any fast-growing social network—especially one with a distinct ActivityPub-powered visual flavor—users have been vocal about the need for advanced content moderation and the ability to enforce safety rules (contrasted with its commercial competition).

It’s interesting to watch alt-right folks try to hijack the #Fediverse like they did with #Reddit. They follow the same strategy:
This strategy, though, only works if they have power over communities and there’s no escape hatch.
Which is why building redundant communities on multiple servers (and software) is so important.
For example, there should be no default video game community.

it's not like it's impossible, tho, since Hubzilla it's fully capable of it, for example.

The lack of an algorithm sometimes makes me lose track of my timeline. And that’s okay.
Because in return, as I scroll, I come across boosts and posts from people I don’t know. Real people - not bots, not paid influencers pushing a product.
I see stunning photos taken by someone with just 10 followers - photos I’d never see on a commercial platform. I read opinions, ideas, and advice from everyday people, like me, passionate and eager to share their thoughts with others.
This is what the Fediverse is about: communication, sharing, dialogue - not numbers.

Mastodon is much less viral than other social networks. This makes it a less attractive target for disinformation and propaganda. This helps foster a more authentic and trustworthy community.

If any form of "governance" is to exist on a decentralized social-media (DeSo) network, such as the Fediverse, then — it ("governance") also needs to be decentralized and localized.

The #fediverse needs to come to terms with one thing: on content platforms, chronological ordering is probably good for your subscription feeds, but for the #discovery feed the average user actually WANTS an #algorithm.
Instead of kicking your feet in anger, release your anxiety and think for one moment.
Wouldn't it be better to formalize #discovery algorithms as #opensource? To create programmable interfaces server side so that the user can define their algorithm client side?

Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust #Fedify foundation.

Heads-up: I updated my #Fediverse stock photo, adding #Friendica (since there have been so many discussions about it as an alternative to Facebook). Here we go: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Fediverse_smartphone_apps_%28photo_by_Elena_Rossini%29.jpg
A routine reminder that this is to illustrate articles about the Fediverse and it shows popular software as alternatives to Big Tech platforms.
special thanks to:

A milestone worth celebrating—#Fedify just hit 100+ releases! From day one, we've been committed to building a robust #ActivityPub framework, and each release has brought us closer to that goal. Here's to many more releases as we continue growing the #fediverse together! #fedidev

Stories are coming to our Pixelfed app, and they are AMAZING!
Not everyone likes them, and they can hide them if they prefer.
But for the rest of us, you will get all the familiar features like Story Reactions, Comments and even who viewed your story/view counts.

If any form of "governance" is to exist on a decentralized social-media (DeSo) network, such as the Fediverse, then — it ("governance") also needs to be decentralized and localized.
Else, that decentralized social-media will cease to be decentralized.

Mastodon is much less viral than other social networks. This makes it a less attractive target for disinformation and propaganda. This helps foster a more authentic and trustworthy community.

The Web has been voluntarily opt-out since the early to mid- 1990s.
Before that, there was no opt-ing out.
The act of putting something onto the (open) Web was (and still is) understood as consent for others to use your data.
This is the norm of the Web — and has been for decades.
I think it is unlikely this norm is going to change any time soon.

Fediverse Report – #102
FOSDEM and the fediverse match well together, some issues regarding data privacy and consent, and multi-network client Openvibe gets 800k in funding.
FOSDEM, the free event for open source software was this weekend in Brussels, with a large presence for the fediverse and the social web. There were three events, presentations by various fediverse software developers in the SocialWeb Devroom, an extra smaller event on Sunday for more presentations, and a more casual event on Sunday evening at Brussels Hackerspace. All the events were fully packed, showing the large amount of interest from the community for the fediverse and the social web. The Social Web Foundation has been the main initiator of these events.
Some thoughts and observations:
Two issues regarding consent and data processing this week. The first is with GoToSocial and fediverse statistics sites like fedidb.org and fediverse.observer. Some GoToSocial servers have blocked statistics sites from indexing their platforms via robots.txt, but the crawlers of fedidb.org and fediverse.observer ignore those. In response, the main GoToSocial server decided to serve up randomised numbers, messing up the statistics of these sites. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault removed GoToSocial altogether from the statistics site, but does not seem to be willing to respect the opting out of crawling via robots.txt. The second is regarding the shutdown of FediOnFire, that displayed public posts from a relay in a format similar to one of Bluesky’s firehose visualisation tools.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter has seen some updates this week. First was the update that setting up a Pixelfed Foundation is now moved to the stretch goal of $200k CAD, and that for $300k CAD the stretch goal is to expand the team to hire additional developers. A few days later, developer Daniel Supernault said that the $300k CAD stretch goal is now to build a Tumblr alternative. That brings the goal of the Pixelfed Kickstarter to build four platforms: Pixelfed, Loops, Sup (an encrypted messaging platform) and an unnamed Tumblr alternative, as well as building a foundation and a developer testing kit with Pubkit. Moving the foundation to a stretch goal that has not been met yet does not feel great to me, as good governance of such large platforms is highly important. Adding a Tumblr alternative to another later stretch goal also makes me concerned that Supernault is taking on too much here, as that is a lot of products to build and maintain.
Openvibe, a client that combines your Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr and Threads account into a single feed, has raised 800k USD in outside investment, with Automattic among the investors. Openvibe is an early mover in the space, and it’s a name I regularly see pop up when people recommend clients. However, open networks and open APIs means that it is hard to build a competitive moat. Still, most apps are hobby projects, and I’m curious how far Openvibe can push their app with the new funding.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Here's something that I previously discussed at length on my main account but wanted feedback on from the wider #fediverse: I'm looking into how to improve limiting/blocking other instances and came up with this idea to let users override instance limits as well as make them a bit more visible.
As it stands right now, #Mastodon treats limited instances as completely hidden—you won't see any posts or users from them whatsoever unless you directly look for them on purpose. This might be fine in most cases, but when more popular instances like mastodon.social get limited for reasons as benign as "currently dealing with spam issues," it creates a lot of friction as a good chunk of the fediverse simply goes missing to the average user.
What I'm looking into is both hiding posts from limited instances under a specialized content warning instead, and providing a panel somewhere to override said instance limits. I've attached a mockup that shows this off.
I don't believe that this will work with blocked/"defederated" instances, nor do I think it's a good idea, but I think it's an important step to take towards user friendliness, which the fediverse desperately needs as of right now.
Let me know if you have any questions, this is what this post is all about!

I'm starting to get the feeling that the Fedi Mafia doesn't REALLY care about anything on Fedi, they're just bored as hell all the time and want to stir up some drama to giggle at.
I don't see harassing developers as something to giggle at, but with their consistent absolute ignorance of the platform and unwillingness to see how harassment is hurting the platform, I can't help but think they're just really bored assholes.
If it's useful to Fedi, they harass and threaten the developer so that others will talk about them. Because any attention is good attention to these assholes.
If it's not useful, they just ignore it and the project doesn't go anywhere cause it's not useful.🤦♂️
Ignore hate. Build useful Fedi tools.
Threats and harassment are ridiculous.

For the first time, there was a specific track on the ‘Social Web’ dedicated to the #Fediverse. I also gave a short - rather atypical, because non-technical ;) - talk on ‘Fediverse Fighters - The Role of Public Institutions’ (https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025/talk/review/KVUBHC8SDES8VC3SGTPFP8HYJUWHRHVH).

@Jerry@hear-me.social
Today, I brought up another server to help people leave the #Metaverse and join the #Fediverse. I created a #Mobilizon server, https://my-group.events, which is a decentralized replacement for #Facebook Events.
You can use Mobilizon to create and organize your own events via a group page. Using it, you can publish out events to members, allow for discussions, collaborate, and share resources. I presume, just like you would with Facebook Events, which I never used.
You can also search for events that you can add to your own agenda.
You can have different profiles for different "you". Like a professional profile and one for your personal life.
Each server federates with other Mobilizon servers via an opt-in mechanism. I wish federating were automatic, though. I'm not a fan of opt-in federation. An Admin has to request a connection to another Mobilizon server, and it has to approve. Then public events become shared between them when approved.
People on Mastodon can follow Mobilizon groups and see published information. I don't know how well it works with other Fediverse applications.
I have not done a thing yet with the server. I have no groups and no events. But, if you would like to try using it and let me know how it works for you, it would be great. If there is another Mobilizon server you'd like me to federate with, I'll be happy to request it so you can see their public events.
There are still things I need to do on the server next week, like set up database backups and monitoring. But, the server appears useable.
You can create an account by going to https://my-group.events and you can start organizing events!
If anyone knows more about Mobilizon, please add to the discussion.
More information here: https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/use/ and https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

The #fediverse needs to come to terms with one thing: on content platforms, chronological ordering is probably good for your subscription feeds, but for the #discovery feed the average user actually WANTS an #algorithm.
Instead of kicking your feet in anger, release your anxiety and think for one moment.
Wouldn't it be better to formalize #discovery algorithms as #opensource? To create programmable interfaces server side so that the user can define their algorithm client side?

I was explaining some aspects of the #fediverse to someone, and how with apps being #opensource anyone could fork&modify and still integrate with other unmodified (or modified differently) servers. And eventually it came up that that's basically what happened with livejournal vs deadjournal. I was never a user there, but IIUC livejournal was opensource but some ppl wanted a darker aesthetic, so they made deadjournal. Same concept, but with federation the two would be able to talk to each other.

This idea is a bit premature but I have decently functioning prototype. What does the #fediverse think of federated gaming? A specific implementation is Club Penguin servers that federate user actions and messages so that separate servers can still have users render on other servers. Allows for full Mastodon integration, i.e. CP conversations show up as threads and a Mas user can respond and appear as a penguin message to CP users. Like CP is the front-end client. #clubpenguin #fedidev #gamedev

However, "orderedItems" is mentioned in the ActivityStreams Core spec:
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/
Maybe the closest thing to a definition is:
"Collection are represented using the 'items' property while ordered items are represented using the 'orderedItems' property."
So, "orderedItems" is just like "items":

Out of curiosity, I'm reading books about social media from 2023-2025. It seems that Finnish book authors haven't done their research properly. The arguments often boil down to: "We have no choice but to use corporate services that spy on us" or "There is no alternative to Google, Amazon, and other big tech companies."
Since when do we not have a choice? Who actually forces you to use Google or Facebook? There is always a choice. Always did. Yes, it means leaving your dopamine and your acquaintances behind, but it's worth it.
This technologist in a certain social media book of his mentions decentralization only once, and even then, he focuses solely on blockchain and Web 3.0 - in his world, an idealistic vision that may never materialize.
It's funny that the problems of today's corporate Internet are directly in your face and clearly people are seeing them, but they close their eyes when it's time to do something.
So, I guess we just can't use social media at all then? If only there were some platform we could use...?
Sigh.

I think on some small level i thought having a lot of followers on X or trolling Threads looking for stuff to like meant genuine interaction.
Turns out, it isn’t and wasn’t and never will be. I have had more actually answers and interaction as I build new communities on BlueSky and Mastodon

RSSリーダーが再び話題になっているな。以前はTwitterの登場でもうRSSリーダーは不要！って言われていたのに𝕏になった辺りから情報収集ツールとしてはゴミと化してきて元に戻ってきた感。
ちなみにRSSフィードをActivityPubで配信するツールがあるお陰で結構な主要メディアに対してRSSフィードを配信するFediverseアカウントが作られているので、FediverseはRSSリーダーとしても使えるのよね。

A few times a day, my phone will buzz or I’ll see an email come through and it’s someone on mastodon who I idolize, or have only heard about, or saw write an article once or I have never met. And they are liking or boosting or following. And it’s not to help feed an algorithm, it because they genuinely like what I said. #feelsgoodman

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

I always get a tiny bit excited when I end up on a random website and it has a link to their fediverse profile on it
@Jerry@hear-me.social
Today, I brought up another server to help people leave the #Metaverse and join the #Fediverse. I created a #Mobilizon server, https://my-group.events, which is a decentralized replacement for #Facebook Events.
You can use Mobilizon to create and organize your own events via a group page. Using it, you can publish out events to members, allow for discussions, collaborate, and share resources. I presume, just like you would with Facebook Events, which I never used.
You can also search for events that you can add to your own agenda.
You can have different profiles for different "you". Like a professional profile and one for your personal life.
Each server federates with other Mobilizon servers via an opt-in mechanism. I wish federating were automatic, though. I'm not a fan of opt-in federation. An Admin has to request a connection to another Mobilizon server, and it has to approve. Then public events become shared between them when approved.
People on Mastodon can follow Mobilizon groups and see published information. I don't know how well it works with other Fediverse applications.
I have not done a thing yet with the server. I have no groups and no events. But, if you would like to try using it and let me know how it works for you, it would be great. If there is another Mobilizon server you'd like me to federate with, I'll be happy to request it so you can see their public events.
There are still things I need to do on the server next week, like set up database backups and monitoring. But, the server appears useable.
You can create an account by going to https://my-group.events and you can start organizing events!
If anyone knows more about Mobilizon, please add to the discussion.

Had some fun today installing @hollo because you can never have enough fediverse accounts, right? I'm definitely not avoiding the real world with this distraction. 👀
Hollo is a single / low user platform for the fediverse. It runs on the @fedify framework and supports quote posts, markdown, and emoji reactions.
I went off the beaten path a bit and customized the composer file. Here's my notes on the install process.

This has been on my weekend project list for a long while. Setup a @hollo instance in my homelab. NGINX Proxy Manager, Portainer, External Storage in the mix. Can’t wait to tinker around with it!

Is there a maintained list of all the instances still federated with #Threads?
I would be interested in understanding how many people are actively interacting with Threads in the #Fediverse, if it’s something measurable.

Wie aktiv sind die Parteien im #fediverse vor der #BTW2025 ? Ich habe da mal was gebaut:

Aufsetzend auf den Daten von https://codeberg.org/open/fedipolitik kann man die Aktivitäten einzelner Accounts erkennen, aber auch wie breit die Parteien insgesamt vertreten sind. Alle Features erklärt dieses Schaubild. Ich erzähle davon auch gestern in der @freakshow
Wenn Accounts fehlen: bei fedipolitik melden, ich mache nur Datenvisualisierung.

In the Fediverse, beyond Mastodon and similar platforms, you can also follow users from:
- Bluesky (search users with: bsky.brid.gy)
- Threads (search users with: threads.net)
- X (search users with: bird.makeup)
However, these connections are often one-way, and not all users are discoverable due to various limitations.
Many people avoid these platforms for ideological reasons, and personally, I dislike bird.makeup because it merely provides X feeds. Some Fediverse instances have outright banned all of these services.
Over the years, my faith in interoperability with services not originally built for ActivityPub has diminished - Meta has shown no real progress, and the Bluesky bridge, with its persistent issues, is unlikely to ever work seamlessly.
I believe in the Fediverse and ActivityPub. They are more than sufficient without external integrations.

2) Suspend CCS.
CCS and its CSAM detection and reporting service online is the most expensive project we operate, and will likely close between March 15 and March 30. The core technology requirements to simply operate the service exceed $60,000 per year, and that doesn’t include the legal advisory and content review support we need to bring this service to the #Fediverse in a broader fashion.

Want to know the benefits of being a publisher in the #fediverse? @caseynewton asked that Q of Chat GPT: "When I asked for a report on a current subject of interest — how publishers can benefit from the Fediverse — the bot asked me four clarifying questions, such as whether I was looking from the perspective of a legacy publisher or a digital-only outlet, and how technical it should get in its analysis of the tradeoffs between using two different federated protocols."
If you haven't seen it, here's the report he got back. Very cool.

Now for making Pixelix available on iOS we have to invest almost all of our profits we ever made from the app into hardware equipment, meaning we got not much back for our hard work. That is not really sustainable. We are currently still experimenting on how to make open source software development sustainable but as we figured that is a widespread problem which is not so easy to solve. (4/4) ->

Now you can say we are already earning some money because we sell Pixelix for 2€ on Google Play Store. And that's true, but the app is also available completely free on F-Droid and Github, which means the vast majority is getting it from there. (3/4) ->

🚀 Hello everyone!
We are working on something pretty exciting. We want to bring Pixelix to Apple devices! Exactly the same app with same functionality, same design and running natively on iOS (Made possible by Kotlin Multiplatform for those who know).
But for that we need to buy at least one MacBook. 💻 (2/4) ->

Outrageous attack on the #fediverse coming from #Ofcom who think they are just doing their best implementing the #onlinesafetyact, but may inadvertently kill the fediverse for the UK.
What's a significant number of UK users? Do you need to age verify? No firm answers, no guarantees, etc etc.
@geo@social.collectivemoo.net
This idea is a bit premature but I have decently functioning prototype. What does the #fediverse think of federated gaming? A specific implementation is Club Penguin servers that federate user actions and messages so that separate servers can still have users render on other servers. Allows for full Mastodon integration, i.e. CP conversations show up as threads and a Mas user can respond and appear as a penguin message to CP users. Like CP is the front-end client. #clubpenguin #fedidev #gamedev

If you know of a post that you REALLY liked that you've boosted before, did you know you can boost it again? Just click the boost button to "unboost" and then you can "reboost" the same post!
This could be used if you have more followers now than you did back then and you want these new followers to see the older post. Happy Federating!

I’m getting worried about #pixelfed.
Raising money without a roadmap - fine.
Lead dev just throwing out ideas for next projects that the money was not for (then deleting the post when there was backlash) - red flag. Also seems like a lot of ego in there.
We should not idealize platforms and people - rather we should look at what we see and ask ourselves if we actually like what is happening.
Especially when it involves one of the biggest projects in the #fediverse.
Hope my worry is unfounded

@dansup depend what you think the #fediverse is on that one. What is "native" what is not? You have a basic test like the #4opens but beyond this you have "culture" and that is a thing :)

If #PhanpySocial were a native mobile app, it would dominate the #Fediverse client segment. Hats off. This is really fine work.
If you’re into #selfHosting, #docker, etc you will find it absurdly easy to deploy. Or just use the flagship instance at https://phanpy.social/

Is there a Fedi equivalent to Pinterest? #fediverse #fedi
@xfts@fuzzies.wtf
You know, I think #GoToSocial would be great for people who are new to fedi and not as tech savvy. Hear me out, I have my reasons.
1. Since there is no posting from the web officially, people could easily just use a mobile app and call it a day. This means there is no need to worry about choosing a frontend except for one app. Most people that aren't tech savvy primarily use a mobile device, so this would be perfect I think.
2. It has most of the bells and whistles of vanilla Mastodon while also being extremely lightweight, so if you really wanted to you could ask someone who you're close to that is tech savvy to host it.
3. Local only posting exists on GTS, so if you just wanted to, you could easily have a private instance that only you and other users on it can really see, and can always mark certain posts as public if you wanted.
Those are my reasons, but overall I think GoToSocial could be a great gateway to the #fediverse if done correctly, and with enough people properly recommending it.

69% Switched a long time ago.
13% Just switched.
15% Are about to switch.
3% Do not want to switch and love Big Tech.
I guess this makes sense. You are here.

I wish I could host my own version of BridgyFed that's actually usable instead of this broken "opt-in" crap that was forced onto us by the Fedi Mafia.🙄
If you want to talk to people on Bluesky and they aren't bridged, just make a Bluesky account cause getting someone to bridge across platforms is next to impossible.

Growing better social media can be hard.
Many of the developers, moderators, and teams behind the projects that make up decentralised social media do it because they believe in what they're building. Projects which are self-funded, both in time and money then shared with you for little to no cost.
So, take some time today to say thank you to the people behind your favourite Fediverse tools and platforms. We're sure they'd appreciate it.

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. 
Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

Just a warning for Fedi devs:
If you plan on building discovery features for Fedi, BeAware of the "Fedi Mafia" that harasses, threatens, and abuses any dev on Fedi that DARES to make an open platform a little bit more usable.🤦♂️
Over the past 2 months, I've seen 4 Fedi projects that were building tools to help people find accounts and servers to make it easier to find content on Fedi, get shut down because people who don't understand that Fedi is OPEN, harassed and threatened the devs until they shut their projects down.🤬
So, if you plan on building these tools, PLEASE just be prepared to block and continue building your tools.
Ignorant people should not dictate how this protocol is built. Don't let the abusers win.

Hello Everyone,
After having a lot messages from people yesterday about why we should not have a block system we are going to refactoring our reports system into a more positive system into the future.
Instead of reporting a negative thing someone has done we might instead add a positive someone done instead.
This will help make the Fediverse more positive instead of negative.

I am (of course) familiar with the Fediverse / Social Web. I am also familiar with Bluesky and Farcaster as well
I can talk in-depth about all 3 of these. Including the technical details
I also have some familiarity with nostr, and lens, too

Listen, I know that a whole lot of you want to leave the #Fediverse due to the shenanigans of the Homeowners Association (#HOA). And no doubt, sometimes you must.
But you should also know that it means a lot to see you stick around. I really am rooting for you.
And many devs and admins are building better tech despite repeated harassment from certain malicious people. Because this movement really is bigger than the HOA – and they hate that.

@atomicpoet I've been such a believer in free network services and the fediverse since identi.ca/laconi.ca and the Franklin Street Statement, and then I lost faith, seeing and experiencing the Homeowners Association sabotaging the Mastodon moment. So many people came, but so few stuck around. Yes, the confusing technology was a key part, but I think you're right that the social challenges were a big barrier too. It's so sad... what a missed opportunity

New: Fediverse Report #102
This week's news:
- a large crowd for the #fediverse at #fosdem

@LaurensHof@fediversereport.com
Fediverse Report – #102
FOSDEM and the fediverse match well together, some issues regarding data privacy and consent, and multi-network client Openvibe gets 800k in funding.
FOSDEM, the free event for open source software was this weekend in Brussels, with a large presence for the fediverse and the social web. There were three events, presentations by various fediverse software developers in the SocialWeb Devroom, an extra smaller event on Sunday for more presentations, and a more casual event on Sunday evening at Brussels Hackerspace. All the events were fully packed, showing the large amount of interest from the community for the fediverse and the social web. The Social Web Foundation has been the main initiator of these events.
Some thoughts and observations:
Two issues regarding consent and data processing this week. The first is with GoToSocial and fediverse statistics sites like fedidb.org and fediverse.observer. Some GoToSocial servers have blocked statistics sites from indexing their platforms via robots.txt, but the crawlers of fedidb.org and fediverse.observer ignore those. In response, the main GoToSocial server decided to serve up randomised numbers, messing up the statistics of these sites. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault removed GoToSocial altogether from the statistics site, but does not seem to be willing to respect the opting out of crawling via robots.txt. The second is regarding the shutdown of FediOnFire, that displayed public posts from a relay in a format similar to one of Bluesky’s firehose visualisation tools.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter has seen some updates this week. First was the update that setting up a Pixelfed Foundation is now moved to the stretch goal of $200k CAD, and that for $300k CAD the stretch goal is to expand the team to hire additional developers. A few days later, developer Daniel Supernault said that the $300k CAD stretch goal is now to build a Tumblr alternative. That brings the goal of the Pixelfed Kickstarter to build four platforms: Pixelfed, Loops, Sup (an encrypted messaging platform) and an unnamed Tumblr alternative, as well as building a foundation and a developer testing kit with Pubkit. Moving the foundation to a stretch goal that has not been met yet does not feel great to me, as good governance of such large platforms is highly important. Adding a Tumblr alternative to another later stretch goal also makes me concerned that Supernault is taking on too much here, as that is a lot of products to build and maintain.
Openvibe, a client that combines your Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr and Threads account into a single feed, has raised 800k USD in outside investment, with Automattic among the investors. Openvibe is an early mover in the space, and it’s a name I regularly see pop up when people recommend clients. However, open networks and open APIs means that it is hard to build a competitive moat. Still, most apps are hobby projects, and I’m curious how far Openvibe can push their app with the new funding.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Am I the only one that tends to use the same hashtags from time to time?
If not, do you type them out every single time? It's what I do and it's getting tiresome.
I've been begging Fedi app devs for a feature I call a "hashtag drawer" where individual hashtags with CamelCase can be saved in the composer for re-use.
The closest I've gotten is Ivory saving CamelCase hashtags that are "featured" on your profile.
I've been begging for this kind of feature for over a year now and still haven't found a suitable solution.
Is it REALLY not possible?🤨😩

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!
Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.
Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

@_elena i have absolutely no idea about film-making but isn't it possible to hire some professional to do the talking? I'm sure the #Fediverse will gladly chip in some $ for this (and other expenses of this project).
@xuv_writes@p.xuv.be
I’m truly in awe with all the amazing apps that populate the Fediverse. I, myself, use a few: Mastodon, Peertube, WordPress and Bookwyrm. And I’m sometimes tempted to expand my portfolio with a Lemmy, Flipboard or Postmarks account. But I’m concerned the people who enjoy following my activities might get lost in this forest.
Currently, the only way to inform my followers of all my Fediverse activities is to boost a post from my Peertube, WordPress or Bookwyrm to my Mastodon followers (because that’s where I have the largest following). And I sometimes see some of my followers then subscribe to these accounts. But the question remains whether that is a good approach or if, as the number of differentiated and federated services grow, we would need some kind of aggregation tool.
Of course, Mastodon allows you to list up to 4 links in your profile and some use that to link to their other Fediverse accounts. It does provide a way sometimes to verify that you are the owner of those accounts, with a verified link back. But this arbitrary limit of 4 is annoying. And the reverse is not always true. You can’t list multiple Fediverse accounts on your Bookwyrm profile.
What I think we need is FediTree, an application with the sole purpose of listing all the Fediverse accounts of one person (or one group) and allowing people to subscribe to the aggregated feed from all these accounts. Maybe we don’t even need to push to create an aggregated feed. Maybe there is a simple way to subscribe to multiple feeds at once and that would be sufficient.
As you can see, this is not a fully fledged idea. There could be an ActivityPub component to it (AP tech folkx need to look at this. I’m not sure you can create an AP aggregator. Is that allowed by the protocol?). And maybe we could already use the multiple LinkTree alternative services that exists like https://linkstack.org/instances/ for example.
I’m putting this out there to create a conversation. Maybe you are already working on this. Maybe you want to also solve this problem and the multi-account problem. Maybe you have a better idea. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Schau dir bitte selber an, was gekommen ist.
Und Herr Ude, der für mastodon arbeitet, sollte nun wirklich wissen was das Fediverse ist und schau dir an was als Info gekommen ist.
So läuft das in der regel immer ab und meist mit noch mehr "Hilfe", wie man Mastodon einrichtet, benutzt usw.

How about no?
You're way overstepping with this, poisoning the entire ActivityPub ecosystem.
Let me break this down for you...
https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/
In short: if you really intend to federate, respect your users and their data.
Implementing federation while keeping these terms is a severe breach of trust, and would poison the entirety of the network in an way which will cripple ActivityPub, and undermine the very foundation of what AP stands for with regard to privacy, data ownership, and control over what we post to the network.
Hopefully that's not your intention. Is it?

Listen, I know that a whole lot of you want to leave the #Fediverse due to the shenanigans of the Homeowners Association (#HOA). And no doubt, sometimes you must.
But you should also know that it means a lot to see you stick around. I really am rooting for you.
And many devs and admins are building better tech despite repeated harassment from certain malicious people. Because this movement really is bigger than the HOA – and they hate that.

Fediverse Report – #102
FOSDEM and the fediverse match well together, some issues regarding data privacy and consent, and multi-network client Openvibe gets 800k in funding.
FOSDEM, the free event for open source software was this weekend in Brussels, with a large presence for the fediverse and the social web. There were three events, presentations by various fediverse software developers in the SocialWeb Devroom, an extra smaller event on Sunday for more presentations, and a more casual event on Sunday evening at Brussels Hackerspace. All the events were fully packed, showing the large amount of interest from the community for the fediverse and the social web. The Social Web Foundation has been the main initiator of these events.
Some thoughts and observations:
Two issues regarding consent and data processing this week. The first is with GoToSocial and fediverse statistics sites like fedidb.org and fediverse.observer. Some GoToSocial servers have blocked statistics sites from indexing their platforms via robots.txt, but the crawlers of fedidb.org and fediverse.observer ignore those. In response, the main GoToSocial server decided to serve up randomised numbers, messing up the statistics of these sites. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault removed GoToSocial altogether from the statistics site, but does not seem to be willing to respect the opting out of crawling via robots.txt. The second is regarding the shutdown of FediOnFire, that displayed public posts from a relay in a format similar to one of Bluesky’s firehose visualisation tools.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter has seen some updates this week. First was the update that setting up a Pixelfed Foundation is now moved to the stretch goal of $200k CAD, and that for $300k CAD the stretch goal is to expand the team to hire additional developers. A few days later, developer Daniel Supernault said that the $300k CAD stretch goal is now to build a Tumblr alternative. That brings the goal of the Pixelfed Kickstarter to build four platforms: Pixelfed, Loops, Sup (an encrypted messaging platform) and an unnamed Tumblr alternative, as well as building a foundation and a developer testing kit with Pubkit. Moving the foundation to a stretch goal that has not been met yet does not feel great to me, as good governance of such large platforms is highly important. Adding a Tumblr alternative to another later stretch goal also makes me concerned that Supernault is taking on too much here, as that is a lot of products to build and maintain.
Openvibe, a client that combines your Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr and Threads account into a single feed, has raised 800k USD in outside investment, with Automattic among the investors. Openvibe is an early mover in the space, and it’s a name I regularly see pop up when people recommend clients. However, open networks and open APIs means that it is hard to build a competitive moat. Still, most apps are hobby projects, and I’m curious how far Openvibe can push their app with the new funding.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Since we can all subscribe from Mastodon: which #PeerTube channel do you think really needs more subscribers?
The server matters less than who is on there, after all. If PeerTube is their primary or only uploading site, all the more interesting.

Will you be in or near Austin, TX, on March 9 and 10? We're gathering people passionate about decentralized social media for two days of panels, networking, learning, and fun during the first-ever Fediverse House.
We’ll be sharing official details soon, but for now we wanted to do a special roll call 📯 for creators, publishers, podcasters, community builders, and developers.
Let us know if you’ll be there as we are currently finessing our programming lineup and looking for expert voices to showcase and partner with. Thank you! 🤙

It wasn’t so long ago that #Mastodon made up 90% of MAUs on the #Fediverse. Hell, it so dominated Fediverse usage that, for most people, Mastodon was the Fediverse.
But now Mastodon’s percentage of MAUs stands at 58%. And it’s probably lower because the second most popular Fediverse software distribution, #Misskey, doesn’t accurately report MAUs. So what happened?
I suspect four things:
Obviously, Mastodon is alive and kicking. It’s not going anywhere. Its continuing development is critical to the success of the Fediverse.
But at the same time, the success of Mastodon led to the success of other federated projects. And it works the other way around too. The success of other federated projects is also Mastodon’s success.
So really, lower MAUs for Mastodon is actually a giant win for the big pachyderm.

Fedi devs are building on an open protocol.
You have options to limit your visibility.
Opt out of search features, and post with "unlisted" or "followers only" setting.
Use them.

Yep, #Fediverse is nice. But it has the same problem as Linux: it is hard to get started with, there's not the same variety of content and people to engage with, and all the messaging just tells you how great it is without acknowledging the flaws.
Adoption is still way slower than the other commercial options people are jumping to like #Bluesky, #Threads, etc.

If you want privacy, go to signal.
I want a USABLE social media platform that isn't owned by a corporate asshole.
Fedi is barely usable without discoverability and ignorance is killing it.
Educate yourself. ActivityPub is an OPEN protocol.
Stop harassing people that are building on that openness. You're killing Fedi.🤬

OK. Am I the only one that is noticing that the official Mastodon iPhone client app does “NOT” notify you of things that show up in the notifications folder?

@GuyDudeman @lavaeolus because the #Fediverse turns out to be a rat nest of people who violate the basic constitutional rights of other users while deplatforming everyone who deviates from a narrow-minded worldview by using _centralized_ blocklists, thereby destroying the federation idea.
In addition, #Mastodon ’s #UI and #UX is so ugly and so badly designed from an ergonomics POV that most people already stay away after first contact.
That’s why.

Hello from (and to) my new home on @SocialCoop! It's great to be here, and I'm looking forward to being a member of this #community and working towards a more #cooperative #internet.
As far as the #Fediverse goes, I'm not exactly #newHere - I've been around on mastodon.social for a while - but I'm new to the concept of cooperatively run instances, so I'm excited to hopefully 🤞 take a more active role in the community here.

Will you be in or near Austin, TX, on March 9 and 10? We're gathering people passionate about decentralized social media for two days of panels, networking, learning, and fun during the first-ever Fediverse House.
We’ll be sharing official details soon, but for now we wanted to do a special roll call 📯 for creators, publishers, podcasters, community builders, and developers.
Let us know if you’ll be there as we are currently finessing our programming lineup and looking for expert voices to showcase and partner with. Thank you! 🤙

I've seen people argue that CWs don't affect your post's visibility, and that people will read it either way. I don't think this is entirely true; on a quick scroll, I don't click every CW'd post, and I'll bet there are others like me.
But when you don't CW, you lose engagement/followers from those who prefer it. So there's a potential tradeoff either way.
It comes down to what kind of fedi citizen you want to be, and which people you want in your community.

@andypiper@macaw.social
Some #MastodonTools I use: Mastometrics @mastometrics and Analytodon @analytodon can be useful for those running project or org accounts, for example tracking popular posts and follower growth.
When I came to the #fediverse I didn’t want to be a slave to metrics, likes, etc - and I don’t think that’s the right reason to use a social platform, overall (community, social sharing and conversation are why I’m social).
These tools are not essential, but you *may* find them interesting and useful.

And it’s a wrap for my first (EPIC) day at #FOSDEM.
It’s hard to put into words how incredible - and energizing - it feels to be around the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol, founders of #Fediverse software, admins of popular instances and developers of tools I use every day.
I took the opportunity to thank them in person for their incredible work 😊
It’s also been amazing to finally meet IRL lots of cool people I had been corresponding with for months on the Fediverse.
The best day 💛

@hello@from.thefedi.wiki
We are delighted to launch The Fedi Forum -- https://thefedi.forum
This is a companion to the Fedi Wiki. Allowing people to ask questions about #fediverse software and also help others. It is community based, so no official support from fediverse software developers. If you can help someone please do.
Best of all, the forum is compatible with the fediverse; you can reply to posts directly from your own fedi account. (You will need a forum account to create new posts).
We'd be delighted if you participated in the form, and also boost this post to spread the good news.
So much knowledge is lost when developers use Discord style support channels. The Fedi Forum is a great place to retain information and allow others to search in the future.

Ich selber bin ja überzeugter Fediverse user, aber ich weiß auch warum es vermutlich nie die breite Masse erreichen wird:
All die content creator, die sich auf tiktok, twitch, insta,YouTube usw die goldene Nase verdienen, haben überhaupt kein Grund, von diesen Systemen wegzugehen.
Und die breite Masse ist da, wo die coolen Leute sind. Und das ist leider nicht im Fediverse.
Solange man hier (zum Glück!) kein Geld verdienen kann, wird es auch so bleiben.

Today at a #NIEWIEDERISTJETZT #protest in #nurnberg I was handed a flyer explaining about the fediverse. I did not shame users and rambled only a little about billionaires and algorithms. It explained decentralized servers and some of the benefits and also had a small how-to-fedi in it.
It was as complete with links to a (local) #mastodon , #pixelfed and #friendica instances.
Whoever did this. Well done and what a great way to disseminate information.

Ready to move away from Big Tech?
There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO
Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own:
1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously.
2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one.
3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time.
4. Office software : Libre Office.
5. Video conference : Whereby.
6. Desktop OS : Linux.
7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general.
As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try.

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.
What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?
The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.
Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

Many people here on the Fediverse learned that when a bunch of Fedi sites which has drawings or photos of women kissing women, or men kissing men, were taken offline.
I try to recommend providers who are open to generally any content, provided it is legal, of course. I am not going to recommend people looking to escape possible censorship or safety concerns, only to further feel unsafe and possibly censored.

For some, joining Mastodon might seem risky because "the server could shut down at any time" or because it's managed by a single administrator. While these concerns are understandable, Mastodon has far more safeguards in place compared to centralized platforms:
1. Admins are typically experienced sysadmins with a strong passion for server management.
2. It's generally recommended to have multiple admins (we have four).
3. Many servers have financial plans in place, such as donation systems. We have my company backing things up.
4. Infrastructure is often cost-effective, keeping operating costs low.
A few additional points to consider:
1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").
2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.
Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.
The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

tl;dr I created an extension for the GNOME desktop on Linux, so that folks can stream and listen to music from The Indie Beat – an online radio station powered by independent musicians sharing music in the Fediverse, via Bandwagon.
Independent musicians, creatives, artists, makers – these are all folk who often struggle to connect with audiences, and where retail and tech platforms tend towards squeezing their ability to make money from their work (see the excellent Chokepoint Capitalism by Cory Doctorow – essential reading for today’s world and understanding how it systematically squeezes creatives). Over the Christmas period, I finally deleted my Spotify account, after reading about yet more awful ways that company is destroying authentic creativity for their own profit.
Cancelled Spotify. One of those things I'd allowed to roll far too long for no good reason (not paying attention), and the "ghost artists" stuff has made me feel particularly unfriendly towards the platform. https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/
I’ve been a huge fan of independent artists for a very long time. Back in the MySpace / MP3 / Napster days I came across folks who I now count as friends, amazing musicians such as Cindy Alexander, and Alex Cornish.
Up until recently there was a wonderful streaming station, RadioFreeFedi, that offered music from artists who had a presence in the Fediverse. Sadly, that has now gone away.
Over the past couple of years I’ve been attending Fediforum, an online conference where people building in the Fediverse gather to share projects and ideas. During the events in 2024, I came across two fantastic people with an interest in making things better for artists and musicians: Ben Pate, builder of the Emissary platform, which has a music-centric edition called Bandwagon; and Kirsten Lambertsen, a multi-talented web creative who runs Patron Hunt, and who spun up an alternative streaming station, The Indie Beat.
Happy New Year fedifriends!
I'm excited to officially announce the launch of TheIndieBeat.fm, a streaming radio station showcasing indie #music from the Fediverse.
The Indie Beat Radio is made possible through a collaboration with Bandwagon.fm / @benpate
Music artists who upload their work to Bandwagon.fm have the option to make tracks available for streaming on TheIndieBeat.fm
Our goal is to use federation to make less work for artists — upload once; distribute infinitely.
The Indie Beat builds on Bandwagon, so artists who share their music in the Fediverse via Bandwagon, can also choose to add them to rotation on The Indie Beat.
I was nerd-sniped, I mean, inspired, to make something with The Indie Beat, in part through a nice blog post shared by Neil Brown (which was apparently prompted by me, so that’s nice and circular!) about how to add the streams from The Indie Beat into Linux music apps such as mpd.
I don’t use mpd, and to be honest I most often live on Apple platforms (but I do keep a Plex server, which I intend to move to Jellyfin this year as I work on improving my self-hosting and homelab situations). I was pretty sure that I’d seen a taskbar music player for GNOME, though. I usually run GNOME on my Linux systems – the exception being my MNT Pocket Reform, which is Sway with a minimal set of other desktop apps.
The player I was thinking of is the SomaFM internet radio extension, which is a menubar app that lists the SomaFM station streams, and allows the user to choose between them.
The first iteration was a straightforward copy/edit hack of the SomaFM extension, replacing the list of channel streams with the equivalent ones from The Indie Beat. Easy!
I excitedly sent a screenshot to Kirsten to show off!
There were quite a few things that I felt I could do better, though. First of all, the artwork was missing. Also, I knew that the whole point of The Indie Beat was to be a showcase for the artists on Bandwagon, and that there was supposed to be metadata in the stream header that contained their link information.
After a lot of poking at the MP3 stream, I realised that The Indie Beat is built on a streaming server called Azura Cast, which has an API – and The Indie Beat API had that data, and a whole lot more that I could use. In order to use it all though, I had to fully re-think how the extension would work.
So, I started over, from scratch.
The Indie Beat is evolving – within a few days of starting work on this side project, Kirsten switched the branding from pink to green, so I updated the artwork. She also added a Bonk Wave channel – and the extension seamlessly picked it up! That was a nice win.
Not What I Call Radio Bonk Wave is a new radio station from The Indie Beat Radio, curated by bonkwave.org and playing music which may be #BonkWave. Or may be #NotBonkWave.
Listen here:
https://not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave.org/

Bonk Wave contributors – did you know you can submit any of your tracks to the station?
https://bonkwave.org/board/index.php?topic=134.0
(Bonk Wave Contributors only – if you're not signed up to the board, create an account and we'll add you to the group)
I’ve posted a short video which covers the basic features: choose between channels, play/stop, open the Bandwagon page of the currently playing artist in a web browser, or directly jump to Bandwagon’s Explore page or The Indie Beat main page. I’ve aimed for simple and clean, as befits the GNOME philosophy.
The extension is available to install here.
You can watch the demo video on my MakerTube.
You can follow development on GitHub.
If you like it, a comment / review on the GNOME Extensions page would be very welcome. If you have issues or ideas, do leave those on the GitHub project.
There is a donation button in the GNOME Extensions page, the use of which is entirely optional.
Don’t forget to click over to Bandwagon, and check out the artists you hear that you like.
The world and the internet are kind of bleak right now, but actually – we’ve got the power to make it better.
Watch Molly White’s talk from XOXO and get inspired.
Also, this:
https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/29/the-web-made-by-humans/
There’s a lot of opportunity for creatives in the Fediverse!
Castopod is a great way to self-host a podcast with native ActivityPub federation. Bandwagon exists, where you can create a Fediverse profile for yourself and your music. You can share it through The Indie Beat. I’ve personally got my eye on Libre.FM (like Last.FM, but free, and with a renewed / reinvigorated interest in building new features like ActivityPub and IndieWeb support – here’s my profile). Beyond those, there is also Faircamp, a static site generator that helps musicians self-host their content and avoid enshittification through other channels and platforms. I’m excited! We can work together to make our spaces better for musicians and other artists!
This has been a fun side project!
I’ve got a few barely-formed ideas for things I can do with this in the future, as both Bandwagon and The Indie Beat evolve. Stay tuned. 📡
Oh, and through making this extension, I found and purchased an album I’m obsessed with, which has inspired me to do some other new things… so watch this space.
Update 26/02 – since posting this, folks have made me aware of some other fantastic options in this space. Hopefully, we can see more collaborations between these platforms / sites / curators, to grow the opportunity for everyone.
Update 26/02 – I wanted a simple app to play The Indie Beat on my MNT Pocket Reform, too, so I made a more basic system tray app, that should work on most Linux desktops (written in Python)
Come find me at FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels next weekend, I’ll have Bandwagon+The Indie Beat stickers to share 👍🏻

@BeAware That’s where you’re wrong. Again, if you actually read my post, I said honest conversations on controversial or non-controversial topics. Honest, as in cordial. That means not being a dick and not even breaking rules. It is #fediverse admins are the worst about this. If they simply don’t like your opinion, even if the person you are talking to agrees or is having a fine conversation, admins will make false accusations and rules that don’t exist.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the right step and joined the Fediverse. But have your friends and family done the same?
On this Global Switch Day, invite people in your circles to leave social media platforms under Big Tech’s control behind and help them get settled in on decentralized, algorithm and ad free services instead.
And why not make their first home Vivaldi Social? We welcome everyone!

And it’s a wrap for my first (EPIC) day at #FOSDEM.
It’s hard to put into words how incredible - and energizing - it feels to be around the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol, founders of #Fediverse software, admins of popular instances and developers of tools I use every day.
I took the opportunity to thank them in person for their incredible work 😊
It’s also been amazing to finally meet IRL lots of cool people I had been corresponding with for months on the Fediverse.
The best day 💛

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

If I wanted to create a #Fediverse account for a #FLOSS project I'm managing, what would be a recommended server? Possibly one with the least drama surrounding it.
(EDIT: the project is a tool with applications primarily in #engineering and #science )

If you want to be a single user admin, block all you want. You have have multiple users, let the users decide. I’m not against users blocking people or servers they don’t want to interact with. I’m against server admins making blanket decisions for their users, especially on large servers. People in the #fediverse claim to hate the big corps that run other centralized platforms, yet they act exactly the same or even much worse.

Why will the #fediverse fail? Users and admins. The #fediverse fails to be a free speech platform. You cannot have honest discussions on controversial topics. You can barely even have honest discussions on non-controversial topics lest you be accused of #hate #bigotry #racism #transphobia etc. One comment and an admin will block all of their users from interacting with you or your server. Admins and users decry echo chambers yet make every effort to create their own.

Oh, more fun #fedidrama for anyone who cares.
Last night, @dansup (creator of #Pixelfed #Loops #FediDB and more...) began bashing @dumpsterqueer (creator of #GoToSocial) for "faking nodeinfo stats" on #GoToSocial servers.
He had at least three posts about it (screenshots from archive.ph snapshot attached) before deleting them. Two of the three posts were, unsurprisingly if you've kept up with Dan recently, pretty insensitive. Also a bit ironic, as Dan is known to boast from time to time about how much he lifts up other fediverse developers.
Another user pointed out they found an update in the GTS repo that added an option to randomize instance user stats to throw off bots from detecting exactly how many users were on an instance, if the GTS server admin chose to enable it. Apparently a few did, thus prompting Dan's posts when his fedidb.org site started picking up crazy user numbers on these GTS instances.
I don't know if Dan decided to delete his posts after finding this out, or if cooler heads prevailed in the end, but either way his posts are now gone. Just like the entry for GTS on the FediDB (https://fedidb.org/software/gotosocial).
At the time I started writing this, the other major fedi server catalog site #FediverseObserver still had GTS servers listed but had instance user numbers all set to 0. However, looking at it again now, they appear to have delisted GTS servers as well.

I know #activitypub is very powerful and most servers only "use" a subset of its features. I'm wondering, is there a #fediverse activitypub server software that tries to use _every_ feature? It doesn't have to look great and deliver a good experience, I'm just curious.
To be more precise, I'm not asking for a library or framework, but a full running server that you can install.

On the PeerTube page, it states: "PeerTube is free, open-source, and created for non-commercial purposes."
Out of curiosity, if someone wanted to transition from producing content on YouTube to PeerTube, how would commercial content be received? Is there a platform within the Fediverse that accommodates commercial video content, or is this generally discouraged?
I'm not a video producer myself - just curious.

At #fosdem @dave of Mastodon dev team presented the next milestone for #Mastodon that will benefit the entire #fediverse
Content is already federated, while search is still confined to the local server. They’re working on search federation through service providers hosting content. #Fediscovery is a project to implement federated search on activitypub federated and decentralised networks. There is already a repository available for the specifications drafts.

⁂ New symbol version!
It is a crazy coincidence that a new Fediverse symbol proposal was advanced exactly one week after I published the first version of the Anti-Fascist Fediverse sticker with the “old” logo on it! No problem, if not that I just printed a thousand 5x5cm version 1 stickers… 🤯
Despite the terrible timing for the stickers printing, I am very happy about this new symbol proposal, I love it! 😍
Even though I am currently boarding a flight to Tallinn, where I will be moving for 5 months (😱). I quickly created with great pleasure a second version with the asterism symbol! 🚀

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

Why I think that #NodeBB's latest release can be a game changer for the #Fediverse
For years, before social media came along, forums were the main place to discuss with others on the internet. Communities were built, thrived, a few survived, most were swallowed by Reddit and Facebook groups.
But there are still many websites/organizations/collectives who need an online space to talk with their members! Newspapers, workers unions, anarchist collectives, football fan clubs - all of those might already be running a forum, or would be open to running one. And now we have a great fedi solution for this, which is primarily a forum, but is also a gateway to the rest of fedi! Especially with the recent crap going on on mainstream social media (Zuckerberg's rightwing turn and Musk openly going full on nazi), I believe there is now an opportunity to suggest this to whatever kind of community you are involved in: "With this platform, we can have a forum for us, but also escape corporate social media!". It is a great idea.
I am a little jealous, to be honest, as this was what I've been saying for years now, what I suggested back in #Firefish, and what we wanted to do with #Catodon - but I'm not a dev and the projects I've been involved in haven't managed to do much in this direction. @julian got there first - well done!
Check out NodeBB, it's very nicely done, and I'm sure it will only get better, since they just released their first version with ActivityPub support. Think of any group/team you're in touch with that might consider hosting a (federated) forum, and suggest it to them! IMO federated communities are far more suitable and make much more sense for the Fediverse, instead of trying to conceptualize it as a kind of Twitter replacement, and they can serve the target of decentralization much better. Let's spread this!

For some, joining Mastodon might seem risky because "the server could shut down at any time" or because it's managed by a single administrator. While these concerns are understandable, Mastodon has far more safeguards in place compared to centralized platforms:
1. Admins are typically experienced sysadmins with a strong passion for server management.
2. It's generally recommended to have multiple admins (we have four).
3. Many servers have financial plans in place, such as donation systems. We have my company backing things up.
4. Infrastructure is often cost-effective, keeping operating costs low.
A few additional points to consider:
1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").
2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.
Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.
The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").
2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.
Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.
The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

I've noticed recently that some organizations that have an account in Fediverse share their Bluesky account here. I wonder why they think this is relevant for us to know?
It looks like trying to convince people to ride a bus while they are comfortably riding one already.

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

If I wanted to create a #Fediverse account for a #FLOSS project I'm managing, what would be a recommended server? Possibly one with the least drama surrounding it.
(EDIT: the project is a tool with applications primarily in #engineering and #science )
@dansup@mastodon.social
I'm now in my congenial era, we're all about progress and ethical growth.
It's about time people had one of their own to help chart the course to the new federated era.

On the train to FOSDEM I quickly but finally bashed out a long-planned post on the Solid app I wrote that allows you to post to the Fediverse from your Solid Pod.
Main takeway: cool experiment, but @activitypods have the more feasible approach for now.

It’s been a year already with @ivory .. and while I’ve opted to lower my paid tier subscription (I simply don’t own a Mac), it single-handedly revolutionized my interactions with Mastodon and the #fediverse at large.
It’s the best app out there. Period.

Similar to what I boosted, I’d also like to ask you all to consider supporting #Bookwyrm, for social reading and book reviews on the fediverse.
https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm
And if anyone has experience doing “Django at scale” work, I’ve got experience in the “Ruby at scale” stuff and would love to collaborate on measuring and improving Bookwyrm for everyone. (And hopefully, lowering server costs for Bookwyrm admins too.) Reach out and maybe we can schedule a monthly call to start.

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust @fedify foundation.

Ok, I can officially say that I don't get #jsonLD. #ActivityPub uses it, #fediverse is built on it. But it doesnt actually give any boost in interoperability. The applications themself must be written with interoperability in mind. It's just fancy aliasing mechanism, am I wrong about it? Maybe that's what it's supposed to be? Was I wrong expecting it to be anything more? It doesn't do any heavy lifting besides the aliasing. It only serves as a reminder to look up the docs of a protocol. You could just as well just get the protocol spec out and it would be equivalent. What's the point?

Vilkaisin nyt pitkästä aikaa Facebookin Fediverse-korvaajaksi kutsuttua Friendicaa, eikä se olekaan ollenkaan niin kökkö kuin mitä muistin. Siinähän on suunnilleen ne ominaisuudet, kuin Facebookilla silloin kun se oli tuorehko ja paskeentumaton.
Sinne näkyy myös tulevan koko ajan suomalaisia.
Nimenomaan suomalaisille suunnattua Friendica-instanssia ei taida olla? Voisi olla kysyntää, jos joku ottaisi tehtäväkseen.

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

I don't think we need billions of people here. I already have all the content I need, and no one can keep up with everything anyway. The idea that social media requires a 'critical mass' is just another false narrative pushed by commercial social media corporations and their users.
I'm happy for everyone who joins the Fediverse, but for me, the value of the Social Web lies in other things - not in sheer numbers.

Hey #Fediverse #Musicians - I'm once again trying to figure out premium pricing for #Bandwagon
I've committed to hosting profiles 100% free forever, but I still believe there should be some paid "premium" hosting as well.
What's the best way to split this? Here are a few ideas I've been kicking around. What kinds of things should be the "extras" that require a paid Premium (but still cheap) account?
You should pay for accounts to…
| Option | Voters |
|---|---|
| Publish Copyrighted Music (but CC music is free) | 3 (38%) |
| Sell Music Online (but free music is free) | 3 (38%) |
| Host Large Libraries (but a few albums are free) | 2 (25%) |
| Need extra features (but basic profiles are free) | 0 (0%) |
@rolle@mementomori.social
I don't think we need billions of people here. I already have all the content I need, and no one can keep up with everything anyway. The idea that social media requires a 'critical mass' is just another false narrative pushed by commercial social media corporations and their users.
I'm happy for everyone who joins the Fediverse, but for me, the value of the Social Web lies in other things - not in sheer numbers.

Showed a friend Mastodon. Linked him my profile.
His response: "Quite sad to see so little activity, no retweets and no boosts?"
Can't argue with it though 🥲
@KazuShuSora@social.tchncs.de
Also, if you're already in the Fediverse, consider donating to the admin of the instance you are using.
Those people are real heroes who use so much time of their lives to create a pleasant and working social media experience for us 💪🏻
Also servers do cost money and every cent matters ❗

@_elena Thank you for the shoutout, and for writing this, I have the same view of the #Fediverse which gives us the opportunity to all be active contributors - at our own scale - rather than passive consumers, I really appreciate how you put it in words with a experienced example and even practical suggestions for contributions.. Bravo! 🙌❤️

A question to my fellow #Fediverse developers: how do you handle if something you have announced changes? For example if gets updated, it gets deleted etc. Do you propagate an update to the followers, so that their targets instances, who might only know about that object because of your announce get informed?

So, bin #neuhier , schaue mich um und bin noch in der Eingewöhnung. Bin gespannt und neugierig aufs ganze #fediverse und darauf andere "versen" doch vielleicht nach und nach hinter mir zu lassen. Der Anfang ist auf jeden Fall gemacht 😉

Does anyone have any experience with Elest.io managed hosting?
Especially Fediverse software?🤔
I'm pretty Linux illiterate. Always relying on VERY detailed instructions with commands and such to get me by.
However, lately, Mastodon's updates have led me more and more into the "uncomfortable" area of running my own instance.
I still want/need more customization than can be offered by options like masto.host or toot.io and Elest.io seems to provide that customization. For example, being able to run a script that clears out certain cached data and hosting my media on S3.
If anyone can let me know their experience with Elest.io, I would appreciate it. If I get good responses, I might spin up a new instance on there and migrate at some point.

We talk a lot about decentralised social media, but not everyone knows what that means.
It's an online space which is not controlled by one company or person. Platforms which are open, allowing information (such as posts) to flow in and out. And, because the open technology isn't controlled by a company, anyone can build a compatible platform and plug it in! 🔌

We'd fork praw and resurrect an old 3rd party app to use. It'd federate with Lemmy.

If I send the bot a username that it already messaged, I'm basically shit out of luck on actually getting them to bridge.
I wish we could destroy these walls already.😩

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

It's wild to me when I see someone say "Fediverse seems dead"
Because at this point, this is one of the most active times I've ever seen Fedi and it feels like they just wanna get attention for some reason.😬

New: Fediverse Report #101
This week's news:
- @pixelfed continues to grow, adding 100k active users in a week. The platform now has grown from 20k active users a month ago to almost 300k active accounts currently
- The Pixelfed Kickstarter smashed its goals, raising over 100k CAD in funding
- Tumblr recommits to connecting to the #fediverse in the future, using the WordPress #ActivityPub plugin
@LaurensHof@fediversereport.com
Fediverse Report #101
Its another massive week for Pixelfed, growing by another 100k active users and doubling their Kickstarter goal, raising over 100k CAD.
Pixelfed continues to grow rapidly, adding almost 100k monthly active users in a week, and has now almost 300k monthly active users. Just over a month ago, Pixelfed had around 20k monthly active users. Developer Daniel Supernault launched a Kickstarter this week for Pixelfed,Loops and Sup. The Kickstarter proved popular, raising 100k CAD, double its 50k CAD goal. The Kickstarter is mainly for to fund the continuous development of the platforms, with the primary goals listed as ‘acceleration development’ for Pixelfed and Loops, and starting the development of messaging platform Sup. Sup is a planned encrypted messaging app that is supposed to compete with WhatsApp and Snapchat. Supernault has mentioned working on the project in the past, but it is unclear how far along the project is.
Supernault says that the operational costs for running all of his projects is now over 4000 USD per month. The large majority of people joining the flagship servers pixelfed.social and loops.video, which are both run by Supernault. Still, it seems like Supernault is not particularly interested in sharing out the load of users to other servers, saying that people unfamiliar with the fediverse want to join a a flagship instance. He also says that “using random servers to register on is very dangerous, because not all of them are as dedicated to this as I am, some of them don’t update frequently or handle mod reports as fast as we do.” Supernault is currently the only moderator for both the pixelfed.social server as well as the pixelfed.art server. He also says that Pixelfed.social needs to establish a mod team. One barrier to adding extra moderators is that Pixelfed does not have a specific ‘moderator’ role in the software, there is only the possibility to give someone full admin rights. Supernault says that he is working on adding such a feature.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter also lists a Pixelfed Foundation as its stretch goal. It is not particularly clear what such a Foundation would entail: the Kickstarter describes it as both a foundation and a corporation, as says that it “hopefully” would be a not-for-profit. Some of the potential work of the Pixelfed foundation would be to grow the Pixelfed and Loops social networks, and also support other developers in the wider fediverse ecosystem.
Tumblr has reconfirmed that it is working on connecting to the fediverse. In late 2022, Automatic CEO Matt Mullenweg said that the site was going to add ActivityPub support ‘soon’. Plans changed for Tumblr, including staff layoffs, and for a long time it was unclear if this plan was actually going to happen. In summer 2024, Tumblr announced that they would be working on moving the backend of Tumblr to WordPress. In an AMA this week, the company said that this migration of Tumblr to WordPress means that Tumblr can also use the plugins of WordPress, including the ActivityPub plugin. This means that people will be able to add ActivityPub to their Tumblr blogs. Not much is known about how this would work in practice.
Editor’s note: I wrote the section below before Supernault published his latest update on Kickstarter a few hours ago. In the latest update the Pixelfed Foundation is now moved towards a new stretch goal of 200k CAD. This changes my analysis, but I currently do not have the time to properly analyse and write about it before this newsletter will go out. I’ll write more about this next week.
Some more thoughts on Pixelfed:
Tumblr saying that they are working on their fediverse integration is great news for the fediverse. For a quite a while it seemed that Tumblr would not actually follow through on early announcements by CEO Mullenweg. The answer by Tumblr that ActivityPub support will depend on a plugin makes it plausible to me that Tumblr blogs will likely have to opt-in to connecting themselves to the fediverse by adding the plugin. So based on the limited information available it seems likely to me it will not be a situation where the fediverse instantly grows by millions of active users.

OK #fediverse - I need to find a replacement for Google Voice that's
1) Cheap - we're a small company that runs on a tight budget
2) Flexible - we're looking for something that works on iOS and Android phones.
3) Secure - we're a small LGBTQIA+ owned company. We don't want snoopers or AI.
4) Callable/Textable from regular phones. - This is primarily so that team members can give out their 'work' numbers without compromising their real (personal) numbers.
We're spending a bunch right now on Google, and Voice is the LAST thing we need to replace.
Note: We already use #Matrix for team communications that don't require a physical number, #Nextcloud for collaboration and a few other #FOSS type things for everything else.
@lig@fosstodon.org
I really appreciate the journey @PixelFed is on. As @dansup said here https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113910761084901138 the entire Fediverse is growing together with them.
The only thing I don't like about Pixelfed is that it is written in PHP.
That is just sad, sorry.
A year ago I was considering self-hosting Pixelfed and this was the only blocker for me personally.
Hope this will change in the future:)

@Gwendolyn_Millhill Hey Hey, die AG Tanztee #neuhier im #Fediverse!
Die AG veranstaltet #prog #experimental #noise #freejazz #punk und was weiß ich nicht für #Konzerte im KuBa #Jena und Schieszhaus Zeulenroda mit absolut furiosem Programm und dem besten #artist #care ever ❤️
Wir hatten einst das Glück mit der Makroplastik für die großartigen Ni! aus #Lyon eröffnen zu dürfen. https://www.kuba-jena.de/veranstaltung/ag-tanztee-ni-makroplastik/

New instance, new #Introduction
I have a couple other accounts out there but I'll keep this one as corporate as possible. Calcul Quebec's comms team has recently moved away from #X and is phasing out #Facebook. They insist on keeping #LinkedIn for quite valid reasons and they want to try #Bluesky, which is also fair. However, I want to prove that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are just as valid for reach.
I'll mostly be talking about the #HPC and #Quantum research in #Quebec and #Canada
Posts will be French, English, or bilingual depending on the topic. Topics will range from #funding and #infrastructure to #research and #cybersecurity , along with possibly government announcements that might impact any parts of my work.

Love photos? Want to browse the #Fediverse from the comfort of #AppleTV?
@CyrstalApp@mastodon.social might be for you!
You can use it with #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #GoToSocial, and more.
Right now, they’re looking for beta testers.

A note on compatibility: I'm calling version 1.0 "Crystal for Mastodon", but it *should* work with other Fediverse servers that have a similar API like #Pixelfed, #GoToSocial, and so on – I just haven't tested these thorougly yet, so I can't promise everything will work.
If you’d like to try the app with a non-Mastodon server without having to buy it first, there are open TestFlight spots available and you’ll get compatibility improvements before anyone else: https://testflight.apple.com/join/NKpHVXt3

For a quite a while it seemed that Tumblr would not actually follow through on early announcements by CEO Mullenweg. The answer by Tumblr that ActivityPub support will depend on a plugin makes it plausible to me that Tumblr blogs will likely have to opt-in to connecting themselves to the fediverse by adding the plugin. So based on the limited information available it seems likely to me it will not be a situation where the fediverse instantly grows by millions of active users.

Two projects we love are currently running a crowdsource campaign. The modular Open Hardware laptop MNT Reform Next is up on Crowdsupply where you can support them by buying a T-shirt or treat yourself to an OH laptop in pre-sale. [1]
And the Pixelfed and Loops team is seeking backers to support the development of these federated social networks with no ads, no algorithms and no tracking. [2]

If #Pixelfed reaches $200,000 in funding a non-profit Pixelfed Foundation will be registered as a legal entity.

Fediverse Report #101
Its another massive week for Pixelfed, growing by another 100k active users and doubling their Kickstarter goal, raising over 100k CAD.
Pixelfed continues to grow rapidly, adding almost 100k monthly active users in a week, and has now almost 300k monthly active users. Just over a month ago, Pixelfed had around 20k monthly active users. Developer Daniel Supernault launched a Kickstarter this week for Pixelfed,Loops and Sup. The Kickstarter proved popular, raising 100k CAD, double its 50k CAD goal. The Kickstarter is mainly for to fund the continuous development of the platforms, with the primary goals listed as ‘acceleration development’ for Pixelfed and Loops, and starting the development of messaging platform Sup. Sup is a planned encrypted messaging app that is supposed to compete with WhatsApp and Snapchat. Supernault has mentioned working on the project in the past, but it is unclear how far along the project is.
Supernault says that the operational costs for running all of his projects is now over 4000 USD per month. The large majority of people joining the flagship servers pixelfed.social and loops.video, which are both run by Supernault. Still, it seems like Supernault is not particularly interested in sharing out the load of users to other servers, saying that people unfamiliar with the fediverse want to join a a flagship instance. He also says that “using random servers to register on is very dangerous, because not all of them are as dedicated to this as I am, some of them don’t update frequently or handle mod reports as fast as we do.” Supernault is currently the only moderator for both the pixelfed.social server as well as the pixelfed.art server. He also says that Pixelfed.social needs to establish a mod team. One barrier to adding extra moderators is that Pixelfed does not have a specific ‘moderator’ role in the software, there is only the possibility to give someone full admin rights. Supernault says that he is working on adding such a feature.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter also lists a Pixelfed Foundation as its stretch goal. It is not particularly clear what such a Foundation would entail: the Kickstarter describes it as both a foundation and a corporation, as says that it “hopefully” would be a not-for-profit. Some of the potential work of the Pixelfed foundation would be to grow the Pixelfed and Loops social networks, and also support other developers in the wider fediverse ecosystem.
Tumblr has reconfirmed that it is working on connecting to the fediverse. In late 2022, Automatic CEO Matt Mullenweg said that the site was going to add ActivityPub support ‘soon’. Plans changed for Tumblr, including staff layoffs, and for a long time it was unclear if this plan was actually going to happen. In summer 2024, Tumblr announced that they would be working on moving the backend of Tumblr to WordPress. In an AMA this week, the company said that this migration of Tumblr to WordPress means that Tumblr can also use the plugins of WordPress, including the ActivityPub plugin. This means that people will be able to add ActivityPub to their Tumblr blogs. Not much is known about how this would work in practice.
Editor’s note: I wrote the section below before Supernault published his latest update on Kickstarter a few hours ago. In the latest update the Pixelfed Foundation is now moved towards a new stretch goal of 200k CAD. This changes my analysis, but I currently do not have the time to properly analyse and write about it before this newsletter will go out. I’ll write more about this next week.

For this week's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank Elena Rossini - @_elena
Elena is an incredibly positive person, one of those people who bring optimism and passion to the Fediverse. She has been a strong supporter of free communication for a long time, detailing the main platforms of the Fediverse and currently working on a video (because yes, she’s also a very talented filmmaker) all about the Fediverse.
Thank you, Elena. You’re one of those people who radiate optimism, positivity, enthusiasm, and passion, and it’s thanks to people like you that free communication thrives.
People are tired of “influencers” driven solely by sponsorships.
Passion, dedication, and genuine belief in a cause make all the difference - and they always will.

@volkris@qoto.org · Reply to Jürgen Hubert's post
@juergen_hubert yeah, I think you're getting this exactly backwards.
#Mastodon/#ActivityPub makes it way too hard to move instances. It's unfortunately a core problem with this platform, but we shouldn't pretend it's not.
Other platforms like #BlueSky make it much easier, but #Fediverse is behind on this one.
We need to recognize that as a rough edge, a legit reason users might choose another platform.
@HPC_Julie@infosec.exchange
New instance, new #Introduction
I have a couple other accounts out there but I'll keep this one as corporate as possible. Calcul Quebec's comms team has recently moved away from #X and is phasing out #Facebook. They insist on keeping #LinkedIn for quite valid reasons and they want to try #Bluesky, which is also fair. However, I want to prove that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are just as valid for reach.
I'll mostly be talking about the #HPC and #Quantum research in #Quebec and #Canada
Posts will be French, English, or bilingual depending on the topic. Topics will range from #funding and #infrastructure to #research and #cybersecurity , along with possibly government announcements that might impact any parts of my work.

"The narratives propagated by these accounts are consistent with previous Doppelgänger activities. They aim to undermine support for Ukraine, sow discord within German politics, and incite gender-based animosity. The operation employs tactics such as bulk account creation, inauthentic commenting, and the use of local personas to enhance credibility."

Stop sharing joinmastodon-dot-org with people interested in the #Fediverse, it will only funnel them straight into mastodon.social.
Share https://jointhefediverse.net/join and https://fedi.garden, instead.

How did this happen?
Encouraged by @nacly I created a Wikimedia account and uploaded the photo here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_smartphone_apps_(photo_by_Elena_Rossini).jpg
And @nclm was super kind to add it to the Fediverse page (English and French). I can't thank you enough!!! ❤️

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to increase Mastodon's userbase? 🤔 People are finally starting to abandon the toxic cesspool formerly known as Twitter, but they seem to be migrating to Threads and Version 2.0 aka Bluesky.
#ActivityPub #Bluesky #Fediverse #Mastodon #MicroBlogging #Threads #Twitter
@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social
One unique selling point of #Mastodon which we need to push more is how easy it is to move servers.
I mean, how often have you heard about people being scared away from Mastodon because they have a hard time picking a server? This is not a condemnation of their hypothetical lack of technical aptitude - it's just that every other social media platform outside of the #Fediverse makes leaving as difficult as possible. You tie up a _lot_ of your online identity with a specific account, especially if you are a heavy user - and if you decide to leave an account, then you have to give up pretty much all of the connections you have made.
Thus, picking "the wrong server" is something that can trigger considerable anxiety for those who've had to abandon social media platforms in the past - what if they pick badly, and need to start over?
But even a lot of long-term Mastodon users don't know how easy it is to move - not only takes the process a mere half an hour or so, but you can also take all of your followers with you - their servers are notified, and they automatically move their subscription from your old to your new account without having to so a thing!
I think this kind of easy account transferral is almost unprecedented with online services (and I can't think of any other examples - can you?), so it's not surprising that people don't think about this when facing the choice of picking a server.

Good morning Fedi friends!
ICYMI yesterday I created a "stock" photo for flagship Fediverse apps* - so that writers could use it to illustrate articles about the #Fediverse.
(*Lemmy is a shortcut to the Lemmy.world website.)
I applied the KISS principle (Keep It Simple) because mainstream media does such a terrible job covering the Fediverse. I didn't want to add extra complexity.
For ease of use / maximum exposure I created an account on #Unsplash for it: https://unsplash.com/@elenarossini

I might be repeating this:
We have quite an influx of people #NewHere in the #Fediverse. Besides obvious stuff like boosting #Introduction posts, consider looking at the seemingly empty new profiles of people who (request to) follow you on their instance (original page). Their posts might not be known to your instance (because federation things). You can search for nice post URLs in your instance to have it discover them and favorite/boost them.
Let’s make sure to welcome all the fresh faces!

Hello! I'm new to #Mastodon and also to the #Fediverse in general. Still setting up shop and figuring out how it all works.
By way of #Introduction, I'm a #Photographer based in #Edmonton, #Alberta, #Canada, shooting primarily #Wildlife and #Nature, with a healthy dose of #Landscapes thrown in ☺️

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!
In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

For the "post only to followers, approve all followers" I'd be concerned they'd have very few followers and not get how to find their friends or make new friends (if they are even interested in new friends).
I come from the publishing world and 99% of my posts are public and open so this isn't an angle I am sure about giving advice on.
@rasterweb@mastodon.social
One question/comment I get from people who think of leaving Facebook for the Fediverse is "How can I just share my posts so my friends can see them? I don't really like to post publicly."
What is the answer to that?
Do you create an account, post only to followers, then approve all followers?
Is Friendica better than Mastodon for this?

We've just moved the #Fedify project and related repositories to our new GitHub organization account, @fedify-dev! 🎉
Here's what moved:
All repositories have been transferred and GitHub's automatic redirects are in place, so existing links will continue to work. Also, the project's core functionality and development process remain unchanged.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our naming poll. Looking forward to Fedify's continued growth under its new organizational home!

The #Hollo repository has moved from @dahlia/hollo to @fedify-dev/hollo! Along with this move, our #Docker image registry has also been relocated from ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo to ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo.
While the old image registry will remain accessible, it won't receive any new tags. We recommend all Hollo users to update their Docker image references to the new registry address.
To update your Docker configurations, please change:

One question/comment I get from people who think of leaving Facebook for the Fediverse is "How can I just share my posts so my friends can see them? I don't really like to post publicly."
What is the answer to that?
Do you create an account, post only to followers, then approve all followers?
Is Friendica better than Mastodon for this?
@rasterweb@mastodon.social · Reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕's post
For the "post only to followers, approve all followers" I'd be concerned they'd have very few followers and not get how to find their friends or make new friends (if they are even interested in new friends).
I come from the publishing world and 99% of my posts are public and open so this isn't an angle I am sure about giving advice on.
@dandylover1@friendica.world
I tried to post this to the Friendica support forum, but it kept timing out when I entered my information. I am now attempting to subscribe to their e-mail list. However, I thought I would write this here so that those who know coding, etc. might be able to offer a solution, or at least, to pass this on to the developers.
I joined Friendica in October of 2024, when Facebook decided to shut down their Basic Mobile site (not app). I am totally blind, and their main page is a nightmare to use with a screen readre (NVDA in my case). I chose Friendica because of the huge character limit, the ability to edit and delete posts, local posting, extensive profiles with keywords, and the ability to connect with all sorts of accounts in the Fediverse. For the most part, I am enjoying my time here. However, I am noticing a lot of inaccessibility on the Friendica page. I am not a programmer, but I'm guessing this is at the core of the software and is not due to the instance I'm using (friendica.world). I am also guessing that the page is not written in HTML5 and does not follow WCAG guidelines, though I may be wrong about that. If not, I strongly urge the developers to review them and implement them if possible. If so, perhaps, some changes can still be made that would make this a more screen reader-friendly site. Note that I tried this with Firefox and Supermium (a direct fork of Chrome).
Mostly, I use TweeseCake to access the site, but there are some things I can't do with that client. All of the following refer to the site itself.
1A. I can't stress how frustrating editing posts is. It sometimes takes over ten minutes. The "edit" option is a link/menu, and it can only be found via another menu. Once I finally find and activate it, I hear the sound indicating that I have entered focus Mode. Usually, this means that I am in an edit box and can type. However, in this case, I am taken back to the main page, as if I never entered the option to edit my post. Using e to try to find an edit box doesn't help, as it just sends me to the replies to different comments. So I am forced to find the post, and start all over again. The only way I can do this successfully is to try to tab through the links/menu at the top of the page (when it works), then through other posts, until, finally, I am placed in an edit box where I can type.
1B. When I go to the Notifications" link, I have to tab to "Mark all System Notifications as Seen". This isn't even a regular link, as I can't copy and paste the text from it. Once I tab to and out of that, I can then read my notifications. But here is what I have to do if I want to see follow requests.
1. Try to get the notifications link to work, then click on it.
2. Tab to marking notifications.
3. Perform a search for the word follow.
4. Click on the link of the notification that someone wants to follow me. I open this in a new window, to try to keep the original one available.
5. Make my choice as to whether to approve that notification, then close that window.
6. Return to the main window. Only now, I am not where I left off. Instead, I am placed back at the beginning of the page and the Notifications menu is not open.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
Ideally, I should be able to go to a normal notifications link, perform steps 3 through 5, then return back to the link, and perform steps 3 through 5 again, as many times as necessary, without having to repeat 1 through 3.
If you want to see a truly accessible site, try this link. I don't work for them, though I do have an account there.
Please, if any changes can be made, I urge you to do so. The site is otherwise a pleasure to use, but my frustration at not being able to easily perform such basic tasks is increasing.

However, in this case, I am taken back to the main page, as if I never entered the option to edit my post. Using e to try to find an edit box doesn't help, as it just sends me to the replies to different comments. So I am forced to find the post, and start all over again. The only way I can do this successfully is to try to tab through the links/menu at the top of the page (when it works), then through other posts, until, finally, I am placed in an edit box where I can type.
1B. When I go to the Notifications" link, I have to tab to "Mark all System Notifications as Seen". This isn't even a regular link, as I can't copy and paste the text from it. Once I tab to and out of that, I can then read my notifications. But here is what I have to do if I want to see follow requests.
1. Try to get the notifications link to work, then click on it.
2. Tab to marking notifications.
3. Perform a search for the word follow.
4. Click on the link of the notification that someone wants to follow me. I open this in a new window, to try to keep the original one available.
5. Make my choice as to whether to approve that notification, then close that window.
6. Return to the main window. Only now, I am not where I left off. Instead, I am placed back at the beginning of the page and the Notifications menu is not open.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
Ideally, I should be able to go to a normal notifications link, perform steps 3 through 5, then return back to the link, and perform steps 3 through 5 again, as many times as necessary, without having to repeat 1 through 3.
If you want to see a truly accessible site, try this link. I don't work for them, though I do have an account there.
Please, if any changes can be made, I urge you to do so. The site is otherwise a pleasure to use, but my frustration at not being able to easily perform such basic tasks is increasing.

The banning of TikTok in the U.S. and the changes of Meta / Instagram / Facebook / Threads ToS brought a new wave of users joining the Fediverse.
And in particular, joining Pixelfed and Loops!
But, did you know that there is a Kickstarter for @pixelfed and @loops happening right now‽
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks
Let's help @dansup continue the development of Pixelfed, Loops, and more
I backed Pixelfed & Loops on Kickstarter.
And, you should, too.

I am working on rebuilding one of my communities. Originally it was a small fanfiction thing but as I have another fan related domain I decided to make this one a Dark Fiction site and community.
Thing is that Dark Fiction can get... Dark.
So while I am working on the ideas and which software to use for community, I need to figure out what is allowed for rules and discussion.
Obviously moderation would need to be far more lax than say Mastodon.art or anything from Europe. You can't start banning everyone who talks about dark topics if they follow that topic to its darker logical conclusion.
Obviously Harrassment, KYS statements, Actual Racism, and a few other things should be banned. But discussion of how a racists bigoted character might address something shouldn't be.
I live in the US so 1st Amendment is pretty open ended.
Figured I would put this out to discuss cause it is such a disconnect between what most people would generally expect from an instance due to the subject matter.

Streamer.bot is a great tool for streamers on the big platforms like Twitch and YouTube (I use it myself!), but it lacks official support for open source platforms like #Owncast and it would be great to see this added.
That's why I've submitted a suggestion for it on their ideas page, and it would great if you could vote as well! It's only got a single lonely vote which I'm pretty sure is mine for suggesting it. 😅

Are there any WP forks with ActivityPub compatibility for example? The AP plugin is FOSS so it should be possible in theory?

EDIT: this post was completely invented! I am so happy that I used the right EU slang words to make this believable, making people privately text me asking if it was true. I wish that the EU actually saw this as an urgent problem to tackle, almost as much as I wish they would call me, of all people, to consult about this.

If some photographers would like to improve it, I could share my original photo and screenshot.
Hilariously, when I opened the tripod my bracelet got stuck in it and I semi-panicked for a few moments because I was home alone... with a tripod stuck to my wrist. Thankfully I managed to free myself 😂

#Peertube is not dead.
It actually has the 3rd most active MAUs on the #Fediverse. It has more MAUs than #Lemmy.
The problem is discovery on Peertube is pretty bad, so it’s hard to see.
But also, Peertube is expensive to operate. And because Peertube is expensive to operate, Peertube admins won’t let just anyone join a their server. Which means it’s hard to join Peertube.
But even then, Peertube’s MAUs are significant.

@noortjevee @RandamuMaki this is why people tell others to stop signing up on .social, it's just another Twitter with another asshole in charge.
They've been censoring people for years based on one guys belief system. You were probably "limited" (that's what it's called in the admin panel) based on beliefs and nothing to do with spam. They just lied in the reasoning cause you won't be able to do anything about it.

Question and/or idea for a more #userFriendly #fediverse
One of my friend is trying mastodon rn, he tried to subscribe to an account and had the message "to continue, you need to follow from your account" (image below in french)
I sometimes have this problem as well when I click on a link to add a new tab, and suddenly I'm not on my server anymore and I am asked the same thing !
Isn't there a way, when you already have an account that you use all the time, to stay connected ?

This is your reminder that if your post is set to "Public", then anyone can and probably will, do anything they want with your posts.
With over 20,000 Fedi instances and 10m accounts, you have no way to tell who or what is consuming your posts and what they could be doing with them.
Consider your public posts as if you just threw them out on the sidewalk for all to see. There's no expectation of privacy on the sidewalk.
See: Awakari for an example of a service that has been on Fedi for over a year now that sells data based on topics discussed.
How do I know they sell it? There's an option on their site that says "Free first 30 days of access", implying that there's a fee after the 30 days.
Do yourself a favor and don't post publicly if you expect privacy.

It just occurred to me that the Forbes article uses a stock photo of a hand holding up a smartphone with a bunch of apps from mainstream, for-profit social media... even if the piece is about the #Fediverse.
So on my to do list for today: recreating a similar photo showing Fediverse software instead. Like, how my actual phone looks like.
As a photographer, I feel it's my duty to do this.
I will give the pic a CC BY-ND license. Thoughts?

Das gefunden... 6.September 2014 #statusnet #quitter #gnusocial #fediverse
Liebe Twitterer,
unser Ansturm auf Quitter(https://quitter.se) hat offenbar den Server ( http://old.quitter.se) arg belastet.
Dadurch wird die Seite langsam, was schon viele von euch bemängelt haben. Es lässt sich jedoch ganz einfach vermeiden.
Wie ich an mir selbst festgestellt habe, ist die ganze Sache nicht so ohne Weiteres für jeden verständlich...
Der Server, also old.quitter.se ist einer von vielen im StatusNet. Eine Liste möglicher Server im Statusnet findet ihr hier:
http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances
...
Ihr könnt euch bei jedem x-beliebigen dieser Server einen Account anmelden. Es muss nicht zwingend old.quitter.se sein. Nehmt bitte einen anderen!!
.... Also, seid bitte so nett, und richtet euch eure Accounts nicht alle bei quitter.se ein, nutzt auch die vielen
anderen! Ansonsten vergeht uns auf Quitter bald allen der Spaß

"A polymath or polyhistor is an individual whose knowledge spans many different subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems."
With my many years and experiences I believe I fit this description.
Please feel free to ask me anything. I shall attempt to answer.

Thanks to @mike, I just had an epiphany about why centralization of the Internet happened:
Web browsers like #Chrome and #Firefox are stuck in an old paradigm of webpages – which is an ancient way of viewing the web.
But that’s not how the actual web works anymore. The real web is no longer about pages but about feeds, and the folks building web browsers – #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, and #Mozilla – still don’t realize this.
Even worse, feed functionality that used to exist natively in web browsers no longer exists. For example, it used to be that when you visited a webpage, web browsers would detect an #RSS feed – giving you the option to subscribe. But starting with #Chrome, this feature was removed from modern web browsers.
However, that doesn’t mean feeds have disappeared from the web. No, many have coalesced into walled gardens like #Twitter and #Instagram. And they’re downright hostile towards access if you do not have an account on their services.
But that doesn’t mean feeds have disappeared. Quite the opposite: they’re more prevalent than ever with forums, podcasts, video, and more. They’re still here, just harder to see simply because web browsers are stuck on that webpage paradigm.
So @surf is essentially a web browser, not with a webpage paradigm, but a webfeed paradigm where – instead of inputting URLs into an address bar – it grabs feeds across from RSS, #podcast, and #socialweb feeds.
And frankly, this approach is brilliant. I use #Surf every day, and it’s literally the first thing I check when I wake up in the morning.
With Surf, we’ve moved away from mere #Fediverse clients. Now we have a genuine web browser for feeds!

@luis_in_brief @atomicpoet @surf @ben Further to this: I think that feeds are to the social web as websites are to the web.
There are a variety of feed categories emerging on the social web which I'm really excited about:
- News feeds
- Hashtag feeds
- RSS feeds
- Podcast feeds
- Photo feeds
- Video feeds
- Group/community feeds
- Q&A/forum feeds
- Magazine feeds from Flipboard
- Personalized algorithmic feeds written by developers like Mutuals, Quiet posters, etc.
On the social web feeds can be public or private. They can have approved contributors or enable anyone to contribute. They can be free or have subscription access. They can include posts from protocols like ActivityPub, AT Proto and RSS and they can be federated outwardly using any of those protocols as well.
And what's truly awesome is that they can be readily mixed together into hybrid feeds to match very specific audiences and communities. For example: FilmFeed from @davidimel shows just photos and videos from curated film photographers.

#Peertube is not dead.
It actually has the 3rd most active MAUs on the #Fediverse. It has more MAUs than #Lemmy.
The problem is discovery on Peertube is pretty bad, so it’s hard to see.
But also, Peertube is expensive to operate. And because Peertube is expensive to operate, Peertube admins won’t let just anyone join a their server. Which means it’s hard to join Peertube.
But even then, Peertube’s MAUs are significant.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

In light of certain #Fedidrama—which I’ll let other people (not me) explain—it’s important to understand that what #ActivityPub offers is an escape hatch for when you want to leave a service.
Also, the best way to ensure you never have to leave a service is to run your own #Fediverse server.

Exciting update on #BotKit: we've introduced a new Repository abstraction layer that provides cleaner data access. While previously data operations went directly through KvStore, they now go through Repository—improving separation of concerns and making the codebase more maintainable. Don't worry though—there are no breaking changes to the public API that BotKit users rely on!
Key benefits:

Liebe Twitterer,
unser Ansturm auf Quitter(https://quitter.se) hat offenbar den Server ( http://old.quitter.se) arg belastet.
Dadurch wird die Seite langsam, was schon viele von euch bemängelt haben. Es lässt sich jedoch ganz einfach vermeiden.
Wie ich an mir selbst festgestellt habe, ist die ganze Sache nicht so ohne Weiteres für jeden verständlich...
Der Server, also old.quitter.se ist einer von vielen im StatusNet. Eine Liste möglicher Server im Statusnet findet ihr hier:
http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances
...
Ihr könnt euch bei jedem x-beliebigen dieser Server einen Account anmelden. Es muss nicht zwingend old.quitter.se sein. Nehmt bitte einen anderen!!
.... Also, seid bitte so nett, und richtet euch eure Accounts nicht alle bei quitter.se ein, nutzt auch die vielen
anderen! Ansonsten vergeht uns auf Quitter bald allen der Spaß

Maybe I am just a bit too sensitive, so #Fediverse, help!

Just a reminder, folks is that while Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed and others are different from Mastodon, if you’re just a casual user, you don’t need to get another client or create a new account.

The problem with the modern commercial social media is that the features that originally made social media powerful are by now completely diluted.
On Meta platforms and X:
- No hashtags are used any more. They used to be used very loosely: Events, hobbies, FollowFridays, TGIF (Thank God it's Friday) etc...
- People no longer care to follow lots of people
- People do not recommend other people or content to follow
- We do not have genuine interactions, it's one way or controversial
This is because of the recommendation algorithms. They do the heavy lifting so the original features are becoming redundant. People think algorithms can be taught to do things, but in reality algorithm is abusing the power and subjecting and conditioning its users.
Hashtags used to be super useful back in the days on Twittter. The time can be pinpointed to the time before any recommendation algorithms.
This is why I'm so elated about the Fediverse and Mastodon. We bring back the free and natural social web.

Exciting update on #BotKit: we've introduced a new Repository abstraction layer that provides cleaner data access. While previously data operations went directly through KvStore, they now go through Repository—improving separation of concerns and making the codebase more maintainable. Don't worry though—there are no breaking changes to the public API that BotKit users rely on!
Key benefits:
Check out our docs for the technical details: https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/repository.

I'm refactoring @botkit to add a Repository interface (aka DAO). I regret that I should have defined the Repository interface in the first place. 😂

My brain is still struggling to unlearn the years of algorithmic social media. I had become fearful of “liking” anything or following anyone, because it would skew my timeline.
Goodness, Mastodon (and the Fediverse in general) is refreshing 😌

I mostly use Phanpy these days but I periodically go back and use @elk. The other day was one of those days. While I was browsing @mjtsai's profile I noticed that Elk supported the new fediverse:creator OG tag but for some reason it was quite borked when viewed from this profile. So I filed an issue in the Elk repo and forgot about it. Today I noticed that @shuuji3 already fixed it and now these badges look great!

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

If you think words like #server, #instance, #federated, or especially #fediverse are intuitive, welcoming, or commonly understood language outside of techie circles,
then I’d like to ask that you pause and consider broadening your empathy.
Most humans don’t know what these words mean. That reduces their likelihood to embrace a nice place like #mastodon, and condemns anyone who has expertise in other fields to ad-based social media.

Ich möchte verstehen, warum sich gute Leute wie Cory Doctorow zu der 30-Millionen-Dollar-Geldsammlung "Free Our Feeds" zusammengeschlossen haben. Damit wollen sie Bluesky dezentralisieren und deren AT-Protokoll stärken, vor allem aber einen zukünftigen Zugriff und Kontrolle durch reiche Dritte verhindern. Für uns hier im Fediverse mit dem Flaggschiff Mastodon und dem W3C-Protokoll ActivityPub muss es unverständlich sein, warum diese Initiative etwas bei Bluesky erreichen will, was es hier schon längst gibt: Dezentralität und ein offenes Protokoll.
Um das zu verstehen, habe ich mir zwei Artikel von Cory Doctorow angeschaut, die er in den letzten Tagen veröffentlicht hat:
- "Defense (of the internet) (from billionaires) in depth" ( https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/23/defense-in-depth )
- "Enshittification isn't caused by venture capital" ( https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/20/capitalist-unrealism )

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!
But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.
#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!
And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

Why I think that #NodeBB's latest release can be a game changer for the #Fediverse
For years, before social media came along, forums were the main place to discuss with others on the internet. Communities were built, thrived, a few survived, most were swallowed by Reddit and Facebook groups.
But there are still many websites/organizations/collectives who need an online space to talk with their members! Newspapers, workers unions, anarchist collectives, football fan clubs - all of those might already be running a forum, or would be open to running one. And now we have a great fedi solution for this, which is primarily a forum, but is also a gateway to the rest of fedi! Especially with the recent crap going on on mainstream social media (Zuckerberg's rightwing turn and Musk openly going full on nazi), I believe there is now an opportunity to suggest this to whatever kind of community you are involved in: "With this platform, we can have a forum for us, but also escape corporate social media!". It is a great idea.
I am a little jealous, to be honest, as this was what I've been saying for years now, what I suggested back in #Firefish, and what we wanted to do with #Catodon - but I'm not a dev and the projects I've been involved in haven't managed to do much in this direction. @julian got there first - well done!
Check out NodeBB, it's very nicely done, and I'm sure it will only get better, since they just released their first version with ActivityPub support. Think of any group/team you're in touch with that might consider hosting a (federated) forum, and suggest it to them! IMO federated communities are far more suitable and make much more sense for the Fediverse, instead of trying to conceptualize it as a kind of Twitter replacement, and they can serve the target of decentralization much better. Let's spread this!

Does ActivityPub have any "livestreaming" functionality built in / something that could be integrated? I'm exploring the idea of Subjam as part of the Fediverse. Its audio broad facilities (Icecast2 backend which uses HTTP streaming) might need to be a completely separate arm of my infra..
The core of Subjam fits well with the Fedi model. It encompasses multiple individual music communities/scenes around the world.

We could all do with more music from independent artists in our lives, so I wrote about how I'm trying to help with that, in my own small way. #Fediverse #TheIndieBeat #Bandwagon #Linux
@andypiper@andypiper.co.uk
tl;dr I created an extension for the GNOME desktop on Linux, so that folks can stream and listen to music from The Indie Beat – an online radio station powered by independent musicians sharing music in the Fediverse, via Bandwagon.
Independent musicians, creatives, artists, makers – these are all folk who often struggle to connect with audiences, and where retail and tech platforms tend towards squeezing their ability to make money from their work (see the excellent Chokepoint Capitalism by Cory Doctorow – essential reading for today’s world and understanding how it systematically squeezes creatives). Over the Christmas period, I finally deleted my Spotify account, after reading about yet more awful ways that company is destroying authentic creativity for their own profit.
Cancelled Spotify. One of those things I'd allowed to roll far too long for no good reason (not paying attention), and the "ghost artists" stuff has made me feel particularly unfriendly towards the platform. https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/
I’ve been a huge fan of independent artists for a very long time. Back in the MySpace / MP3 / Napster days I came across folks who I now count as friends, amazing musicians such as Cindy Alexander, and Alex Cornish.
Up until recently there was a wonderful streaming station, RadioFreeFedi, that offered music from artists who had a presence in the Fediverse. Sadly, that has now gone away.
Over the past couple of years I’ve been attending Fediforum, an online conference where people building in the Fediverse gather to share projects and ideas. During the events in 2024, I came across two fantastic people with an interest in making things better for artists and musicians: Ben Pate, builder of the Emissary platform, which has a music-centric edition called Bandwagon; and Kirsten Lambertsen, a multi-talented web creative who runs Patron Hunt, and who spun up an alternative streaming station, The Indie Beat.
Happy New Year fedifriends!
I'm excited to officially announce the launch of TheIndieBeat.fm, a streaming radio station showcasing indie #music from the Fediverse.
The Indie Beat Radio is made possible through a collaboration with Bandwagon.fm / @benpate
Music artists who upload their work to Bandwagon.fm have the option to make tracks available for streaming on TheIndieBeat.fm
Our goal is to use federation to make less work for artists — upload once; distribute infinitely.
The Indie Beat builds on Bandwagon, so artists who share their music in the Fediverse via Bandwagon, can also choose to add them to rotation on The Indie Beat.
I was nerd-sniped, I mean, inspired, to make something with The Indie Beat, in part through a nice blog post shared by Neil Brown (which was apparently prompted by me, so that’s nice and circular!) about how to add the streams from The Indie Beat into Linux music apps such as mpd.
I don’t use mpd, and to be honest I most often live on Apple platforms (but I do keep a Plex server, which I intend to move to Jellyfin this year as I work on improving my self-hosting and homelab situations). I was pretty sure that I’d seen a taskbar music player for GNOME, though. I usually run GNOME on my Linux systems – the exception being my MNT Pocket Reform, which is Sway with a minimal set of other desktop apps.
The player I was thinking of is the SomaFM internet radio extension, which is a menubar app that lists the SomaFM station streams, and allows the user to choose between them.
The first iteration was a straightforward copy/edit hack of the SomaFM extension, replacing the list of channel streams with the equivalent ones from The Indie Beat. Easy!
I excitedly sent a screenshot to Kirsten to show off!
There were quite a few things that I felt I could do better, though. First of all, the artwork was missing. Also, I knew that the whole point of The Indie Beat was to be a showcase for the artists on Bandwagon, and that there was supposed to be metadata in the stream header that contained their link information.
After a lot of poking at the MP3 stream, I realised that The Indie Beat is built on a streaming server called Azura Cast, which has an API – and The Indie Beat API had that data, and a whole lot more that I could use. In order to use it all though, I had to fully re-think how the extension would work.
So, I started over, from scratch.
The Indie Beat is evolving – within a few days of starting work on this side project, Kirsten switched the branding from pink to green, so I updated the artwork. She also added a Bonk Wave channel – and the extension seamlessly picked it up! That was a nice win.
Not What I Call Radio Bonk Wave is a new radio station from The Indie Beat Radio, curated by bonkwave.org and playing music which may be #BonkWave. Or may be #NotBonkWave.
Listen here:
https://not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave.org/
or here:

Bonk Wave contributors – did you know you can submit any of your tracks to the station?
https://bonkwave.org/board/index.php?topic=134.0
(Bonk Wave Contributors only – if you're not signed up to the board, create an account and we'll add you to the group)
I’ve posted a short video which covers the basic features: choose between channels, play/stop, open the Bandwagon page of the currently playing artist in a web browser, or directly jump to Bandwagon’s Explore page or The Indie Beat main page. I’ve aimed for simple and clean, as befits the GNOME philosophy.
The extension is available to install here.
You can watch the demo video on my MakerTube.
You can follow development on GitHub.
If you like it, a comment / review on the GNOME Extensions page would be very welcome. If you have issues or ideas, do leave those on the GitHub project.
There is a donation button in the GNOME Extensions page, the use of which is entirely optional.
Don’t forget to click over to Bandwagon, and check out the artists you hear that you like.
The world and the internet are kind of bleak right now, but actually – we’ve got the power to make it better.
Watch Molly White’s talk from XOXO and get inspired.
Also, this:
https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/29/the-web-made-by-humans/
There’s a lot of opportunity for creatives in the Fediverse!
Castopod is a great way to self-host a podcast with native ActivityPub federation. Bandwagon exists, where you can create a Fediverse profile for yourself and your music. You can share it through The Indie Beat. I’ve personally got my eye on Libre.FM (like Last.FM, but free, and with a renewed / reinvigorated interest in building new features like ActivityPub and IndieWeb support – here’s my profile). Beyond those, there is also Faircamp, a static site generator that helps musicians self-host their content and avoid enshittification through other channels and platforms. I’m excited! We can work together to make our spaces better for musicians and other artists!
This has been a fun side project!
I’ve got a few barely-formed ideas for things I can do with this in the future, as both Bandwagon and The Indie Beat evolve. Stay tuned. 📡
Oh, and through making this extension, I found and purchased an album I’m obsessed with, which has inspired me to do some other new things… so watch this space.
Update 26/02 – since posting this, folks have made me aware of some other fantastic options in this space. Hopefully, we can see more collaborations between these platforms / sites / curators, to grow the opportunity for everyone.
Update 26/02 – I wanted a simple app to play The Indie Beat on my MNT Pocket Reform, too, so I made a more basic system tray app, that should work on most Linux desktops (written in Python)
Come find me at FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels next weekend, I’ll have Bandwagon+The Indie Beat stickers to share 👍🏻

With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!
And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

It's pretty concerning that for the 2 most popular Fedi softwares, decentralization has basically gone out the window for the sake of popularity.🤦♂️
We are more like Twitter and Instagram this month than ever before.😬
I hope all the new people like Dan and Eugen in the long run. Otherwise I forsee a Mastodon and Pixelfed exodus in the future.
Especially with how Eugen bans/limits accounts that discuss issues that are against his personal beliefs.

Centralized, decentralized social media...😒
@norberteder@graz.social
Wenn sich irgendwelche Tech-Bros wieder daneben benehmen, hoffen viele auf neue Benutzer von Instagram, Facebook, X etc., die ins Fediverse kommen und sich von der Kralle der Tech-Bros befreien. Das ist grundsätzlich gut, aber es gibt Probleme.
Eines der Probleme betrifft die Synchronisation. Erstellt man auf Pixelfed einen neuen Account, bekommt man die Posts auf einer anderen Instanz nicht sofort zu sehen - selbst nach einem Follow nicht. Auch nach 30 Minuten sind sie nicht da. Selbst nach 60 Minuten ist noch nichts davon zu sehen.
Das ist inakzeptable für alle, die wechselwillig sind, aber dann nicht verstehen, warum das so ist.
Da muss unbedingt etwas gemacht werden.
@vinnie@mastodon.gamedev.place
Is boosting too much annoying?
Whenever I like some post I boost to show appreciation.
I also mean to raise the post reach, but that doesn't usually happen because my network is not very big and is quite diverse.
Btw, is there a hashtag for fediverse best practices? In case your in doubt about the etiquette/manners recommended.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

🎥 officially entering pre-production for my video series about the #Fediverse 🎬
THANK YOU for encouraging me to do this. It feels really energizing ❤️
I’m often thinking about this brilliant quote by filmmaker Ava DuVernay: “If your dream is only about you, it’s too small.”
My dream / lofty goal: for everyone to know about the #Fediverse and why / how to join it.
Striving to create an easy to follow, persuasive video explainer.
P.S.: I changed my bio 👀 (I’m no longer a “filmmaker on hiatus”)

Dear #pixelfed admins:
I have a new server.
But whenever someone register new, he/she will not see anything posted before.
I also see zero followers /posts from other instances or anything.
It looks like something is not working as expected
Server https://punk.photos
Pixelfed: v0.12.4 (latest says Github)
This is a hosted service so i can't see logs.

Why I think that #NodeBB's latest release can be a game changer for the #Fediverse
For years, before social media came along, forums were the main place to discuss with others on the internet. Communities were built, thrived, a few survived, most were swallowed by Reddit and Facebook groups.
But there are still many websites/organizations/collectives who need an online space to talk with their members! Newspapers, workers unions, anarchist collectives, football fan clubs - all of those might already be running a forum, or would be open to running one. And now we have a great fedi solution for this, which is primarily a forum, but is also a gateway to the rest of fedi! Especially with the recent crap going on on mainstream social media (Zuckerberg's rightwing turn and Musk openly going full on nazi), I believe there is now an opportunity to suggest this to whatever kind of community you are involved in: "With this platform, we can have a forum for us, but also escape corporate social media!". It is a great idea.
I am a little jealous, to be honest, as this was what I've been saying for years now, what I suggested back in #Firefish, and what we wanted to do with #Catodon - but I'm not a dev and the projects I've been involved in haven't managed to do much in this direction. @julian got there first - well done!
Check out NodeBB, it's very nicely done, and I'm sure it will only get better, since they just released their first version with ActivityPub support. Think of any group/team you're in touch with that might consider hosting a (federated) forum, and suggest it to them! IMO federated communities are far more suitable and make much more sense for the Fediverse, instead of trying to conceptualize it as a kind of Twitter replacement, and they can serve the target of decentralization much better. Let's spread this!

Le message précédent de @dansup concerne l'instance originale de Pixelfed, mais n'oublions pas que nous sommes nous-mêmes sur des instances financées uniquement par les dons, et c'est ce qui fait l'autonomie, notamment politique, du #fediverse. Alors si vous le pouvez, pensez, de temps en temps, à verser quelques euros aux admins de votre instance Mastodon, Peertube ou autre : c'est le prix de la liberté et de l'indépendance !

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust #Fedify foundation.

Quick PSA about https://frequency.app:
1. It's not actually the unique platform it tries to make itself look like. It's a Mastodon fork.
2. *In violation of Mastodon's AGPLv3 license*, Frequency is proprietary, or at the very least does not provide any link to the source code.
3. They paywall signups.
This isn't anything particularly new and interesting. It's just yet another corporate leech on the fediverse...

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.
What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?
The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.
Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

You should really block Threads by now if you haven't done so already as they're going to inject ads into their platform.
https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/24/threads-is-testing-ads-in-the-u-s-and-japan/
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org
So here it is: ads are coming to the decentralized social web.
#Threads is definitely going to do it. And #Bluesky teases that it’s a “possibility” – but let’s be real, they’re totally going to do it.
This is why running your own #Fediverse server is so important: you can completely opt out.

I mostly use Phanpy these days but I periodically go back and use @elk. The other day was one of those days. While I was browsing @mjtsai's profile I noticed that Elk supported the new fediverse:creator OG tag but for some reason it was quite borked when viewed from this profile. So I filed an issue in the Elk repo and forgot about it. Today I noticed that @shuuji3 already fixed it and now these badges look great!

It seems the "three slightly touching buttholes" symbol ⁂ is making the rounds again as people try to change the Fediverse logo that has nothing wrong with it.
The current Fediverse logo shows diversity and interconnectivity, the main features of Fedi.
The "asterism" is already used in writing to denote a change in time. It's a unicode character similar to how a billionaire asshole changed his companies logo to a unicode character and it was told to him many times why that's a bad idea, yet people want to copy him here?😑
Furthermore, it's all white and not connected at all. Which doesn't embody the values of Fedi at all. Last, but definitely not least, it looks like three slightly touching buttholes.
Don't change what isn't broken.
Thanks.

A propos, there is a PixelFed alternative in Beta https://vernissage.photos currently invite only.
I hope PixelFed will get more alternatives. Mastodon having had "competition" from Pleroma, Akkoma, GoToSocial, snack2, honk, Bonfire and so on, was a very good thing imho! 🥳 #fediverse

So #Tumblr is transitioning to #WordPress in order embrace the #Fediverse (there is still no timetable on when that process will be completed).
Also, despite the popularity of #Bluesky, Tumblr has no plans to embrace the #Atmosphere & will stick with support for #ActivityPub for now.

So, #Fediverse: Mastodon is fine and all, and PeerTube and PixelFed have their well deserved fans as well.
But none of these are really good for community organizing.
I'm working on something, but it's taking WAY too much time, and I kind of need something now.
I find Friendica and Lemmy to be... not enough. What I want is federated forum-like threaded conversations - a federated Reddit combined with Facebook thing to get my local schools and stuff off of Facebook.
Suggestions?

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.
What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?
The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.
Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

You are here. That makes you unique. You have made a good choice to take a step away from Big Tech. Now, get more people to join us. Help them with the initial process of setting things up.
If you have not done so already, download an alternative browser, such as Vivaldi as well. Consider whether you can move away from other Big Tech services. At Vivaldi, for example, we use Whereby for video conferences. Many of us have moved to Linux. Many of us use LibreOffice, instead of Microsoft office. There are options if you look for them. It is easy to go with Big Tech, but if you think the world would be better without them or if they had less power, know that you can make a difference.

Keep in mind though, that this project is very much under construction.

Is there some sort of #ActivityPub / #Fediverse matrix website for comparing features, specs and intercompatibility? Kind of like CanIUse but for the Fediverse?
A recent question about DMs in ActivityPub got me looking, but of course including "matrix" in your query returns mostly Matrix protocol results.
It would be really handy to have comparison matrices for:
- ActivityPub server implementations
- ActivityPub client features
So far I've found neither!
[Gah! Sorry for any edit notices but I don't know how I could have missed that stray 'd'.]
@darnell@one.darnell.one
After @zuck changed #Meta’s content policy around offensive content, I noticed that the number of sites that @threads previously blocked have now been unblocked: https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
Sites previously blocked for trolling 🧌, or promoting vulgar content (like Baraag whose existence is evil) are also now unblocked.
Curiously, all #Pixelfed instances are still “muted,” although #Fediverse handles will still show up on #Threads.
@Linux_Is_Best@misskey.de
A friendly reminder,
The Fediverse, the social network you're using to avoid Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Blue Sky, is managed by real people, and not corporations. These real people, your administrator, pay for hosting so that you may share your thought, feelings, or just randomly sh-t post.
If you're financially able, take a moment to reach out to your administrator, and ask if they need help. Even a little bit can help.

The media making a big scene of leaving #Xitter would gain a lot in credibility if they also removed the «share on Xitter» buttons, replacing it with a «share on the Fediverse», doubly more so if they actually had an official #Fediverse presence.
@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.eu
It is massively frustrating that even though #Bluesky and the #Fediverse could be bridged, they leave tons of people in the dark on both sides. Yes, I am aware of the different protocols. But isn't it being decentralised what both networks are aiming and expected to be?

Meine Frau ist jetzt so weit, dass sie das #Fediverse in Erwägung zieht.
Als #Facebook-Nutzerin wäre eigentlich #Friendica die naheliegenste Option.
Aber sie ist heavy mobile-Nutzerin und für iOS gibt es schlicht keinen Client.
Damit ist die Option raus.
Also vermutlich doch #Mastodon. Da gibt es wenigstens Clients, die man vernünftig nutzen kann.
Mal schauen, wie ich ihr das schmackhaft mache ...

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

It's so disheartening to see so many people complaining about boosts.
That means they're fundamentally misunderstanding Fediverse.
If there's no boosts, there's VERY little content because the entire Fediverse's "algorithm" is boosts and follows.
By hiding everyone's boosts, you're doing yourself and Fedi a disservice.

Anyone here use @writefreely?
I've just set up a self-hosted WriteFreely blog as a first experiment with self-hosting instances and using @yunohost (huge thanks to @_elena for your tips! 🥰)
It's visible on the Fedi at @ajsadauskas@blog.sadauskas.id.au (Being a brand new account, good chance it hasn't pulled across to your instance yet!)
At least from initial setup, it looks like only the first line of the post and a link is pulling across to Mastodon.
Is there any way to make the full post text visible on Mastodon?
I can see who's following the blog, but not any comments. Any way to turn on notifications for this?
Also, is there any way to follow an account from WriteFreely? (I'm interested, because it would in theory allow me to follow BridgyFed, and make the posts visible on BlueSky.)
Are these limitations of the platform? Or is there a setting somewhere I missed?

My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃

for people who have accounts on fedi and bluesky - do you cross-post across your accounts? if so, do you have recommendations for automating (or do you do this manually - and if so, why)?
i maintain my accounts on each as an academic/researcher (and havent decided if i want to maintain one more than the other), so it would be nice for them to be in sync...?

Hi guys! I'm a professional artist dipping my toes into the fediverse.
I'm already a bit nervous to start, but I managed to learn the basics of servers on Mastodon and have chosen one that I think is neat!
I'm really interested in expanding my fediverse experience so, if you have any tips or apps to recommend for someone who loves art, nature and the news, don't be shy to let me know!

Similar to Ethereum — Bluesky is decentralized in many ways. But there is an organization that has a lot of influence over everything.
Most people see the organization as, on the whole, benevolent, but —
There is some key infrastructure that is provided only by that organization that, if it disappeared, could severely damage and maybe even kill the whole network.

Those people (involved with the Fediverse) sometimes disagree and even argue.
There is no (explicit or implicit) Emperor, Shahanshah, or God-King of the Fediverse to have the final say.
The various types of people involved with the Fediverse implicitly or explicitly "vote through their choices" on where the Fediverse goes (in terms of how it works, etc).
(Although the "vote" is often "weighted".)

Similar to Bitcoin — No single person or organization controls the Fediverse.
People just get involved with the Fediverse and do stuff.

I'm searching Makertube and have an awful feeling its only searching the server I'm on and not all of Makertube and not all of Peertube? I'm getting no results. Find it hard to believe no one has uploaded a workout to the whole of Peertube! But no results mean its no alternative to Youtube, kinda like Mastodon often yields no results.

I'm on a mailing list for the official ActivityPub specification and everyone is super keen on this idea that ActivityPub is going to start supporting "facts", ie you either agree with the "truth" or you're wrong.
As much as I can't stand the disinformation campaigns, they're not at all taking seriously the idea that demanding everyone have the same "truth" is not only group-think, but far more dangerous.
It's a degradation of the very foundation of fundamental liberal ideas of difference. The idea that all must adhere to the official "Truth" is a tenement of fascism.
And who will control truth? Why, the same people who control moderation of course, meaning that if you're part of a marginalized group within the network then watch out, because they're coming for you, and now they have the "truth" on their side.

So it is decided. Yes, I will make promotional videos for the #Fediverse: explaining what it is, how to use various software... and setting it up in contrast to the current horrors of Meta and X.
Anger and frustration have been building up in me since November. This week has been a hell of a ride. I gotta channel all these negative feelings somewhere and turn them into something positive instead. Promoting the Fediverse and resuming making films seem like the perfect match...

3. Currently watching (for tv shows, maybe general status in case abonded, also progress)
3. Watchlist
4. Events to organize events to watch together (seems to be popular on Fedi already)
5. Recommend tv show/movie (to your followers or someone specific?)

There's a bug in our (new) #mastodon instance. Following hashtags doesn't work properly.
For example, while our server claims there is only one(!) new #fediverse post today (from an account I happen to follow), other instances show there are at least a 110.

A good report as always, and agreed about the importance of @nodebb's release.
With @pixelfed , it's important to highlight that the moderation story is a disaster waiting to happen. @dansup himself has said that he still needs to implement key functionality like moderation roles and a dashboard, and that he doesn't have a moderation team in place. Others have pointed out multiple unfixed bugs related to reporting.
A high-profile Pixelfed fiasco (or worse, blatantly illegal content) could not only destroy the reputation of Pixelfed, but the sharpnel could have an impact on fedi as a whole -- especially at a time when regulators in the UK are clarifying enforcement of the Online Safety Act, and anti-LGBTQIA2S+ fascist oligarch who run social networks that compete with fedi are in power in the US.
It would be great if Dan changes his stance -- turning off open registration on pixelfed.social until he has the moderation situation under control would be an easy first step that could make a big difference.
And also, we really need to think about what we can collectively do to limit the damage to fedi as a whole.

Ich muss die Anfragen bestätigen, deswegen kann es bei kryptischen Benutzernamen, die ich nicht zuordnen kann, clever sein, kurz darauf hinzuweisen, wer wer ist ... ;)

I like that there's a renewed interset in decentralized #fediverse platforms, apps, and content.
Hopefully the trend continues!

#Pixelfed just overtook #Lemmy as the 4th most used #Fediverse software. Here’s the raw numbers in terms of total users:
Pixelfed is moving close towards overtaking #Peertube, which is currently the 3rd most popular Fediverse service.

@chris_e_simpson @phocks people legitimately make mistakes. I do all the time. We are humans and have not yet been taken over by AI. How often does it really happen though?
The ability to edit is a feature of both the #Fediverse and #Mastodon. Many Mastodon users requested it.
@Linux_Is_Best@misskey.de
A friendly reminder,
The Fediverse, the social network you're using to avoid Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Blue Sky, is managed by real people, and not corporations. These real people, your administrator, pay for hosting so that you may share your thought, feelings, or just randomly sh-t post.
If you're financially able, take a moment to reach out to your administrator, and ask if they need help. Even a little bit can help.

I agree that this is what EU should do now.
"#EU [should] ..start seriously addressing our dependency on Big Tech and invest in real alternative models and services."
"public funds.. must be reserved for open digital infrastructure, software, hardware and standards."
"we also need substantial investment into non-commercial, decentralised public interest social media software like #Mastodon, Peertube and other key pieces of the #Fediverse."

So, general questio ngiven I'd taken a long break from the #fediverse are there any good #reddit options aside from lemmy? Any good tutorials? After Monday's display I kinda want to abandon all relevant services.

hey #fediverse what is the current #activitypub server that provides features similar to #mastodon or #pleroma that uses the fewest resources? Is there anything there that is good for single user instances?

The banning of TikTok in the U.S. and the changes of Meta / Instagram / Facebook / Threads ToS brought a new wave of users joining the Fediverse.
And in particular, joining Pixelfed and Loops!
But, did you know that there is a Kickstarter for @pixelfed and @loops happening right now‽
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks
Let's help @dansup continue the development of Pixelfed, Loops, and more
I backed Pixelfed & Loops on Kickstarter.
And, you should, too.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
Some people just like shooting themselves in the foot and then complaining about the pain...🤦♂️
If you specifically ask how to do something in a specific way, I will tell you how to do it that way, if I know how, even if there's an easier way.
If you ask "How do I interact with Lemmy from Mastodon", I will tell you the VERY janky and frustrating way to do it. However if you ask me "how can I use Lemmy just like reddit", I'll simply tell you to sign up to Lemmy and use it like reddit.
Is this why people are so confused about Fediverse?
Some Fediverse softwares don't play nice together and it's very janky cross platform.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot by trying to do things the hard way.

@wjmaggos except #ActivityPub DOESN'T give the people total say over what stories go viral.
We see so much consternation over instance owners censoring what people can see, and that's one of the huge criticisms of this platform that needs to be emphasized.
YES, people can shut down hashtags and links here, and I think that's problematic.
We can't address it by denying that it exists, though.
#Bluesky doesn't just retain that resistance to being shut down. With its relays it does a better job of having the features you're promoting here.
BlueSky comes much closer to giving the people total control over what stories go viral. #Fediverse falls short, empowering instances over people.

My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃

Hey #Fediverse, is anyone else having trouble getting @bsky.brid.gy to work? Earlier today I followed #Bridgy and it worked fine, however on my new (and permanent) #fosstodon account, following Bridgy does nothing. No follow back, no private mention, no indication of a bridged account existing on Bluesky, no nothing. I don't see any relevant issues on Github, and Bridgy isn't blocked by Fosstodon either. I'm stumped, nothing is happening and no explanation as to why.

Hey #Fediverse, is anyone else having trouble getting @bsky.brid.gy to work? Earlier today I followed #Bridgy and it worked fine, however on my new (and permanent) #fosstodon account, following Bridgy does nothing. No follow back, no private mention, no indication of a bridged account existing on Bluesky, no nothing. I don't see any relevant issues on Github, and Bridgy isn't blocked by Fosstodon either. I'm stumped, nothing is happening and no explanation as to why.

Anyways. #Fediverse.
Very serious offer.
Ill trade you all 137 years of my musical experiences, history AND insight as an educated Black Woman with too much historical knowledge of how America was before nazis took over, and all the fun that comes with if you help me get out of Gilead.
Okay. So this took off. Good. What I need to secure is a new secondary job - lost mine in #eatonfire. If we can find any remote job, customer service, ui/ux, or music, I’ll figure out the rest. #getfedihired

Können WIR uns nicht einfach NUR darüber freuen, dass sie ins #FEDIVERSE gefunden haben und ihnen Zeit geben sich hier einzuleben❓
Vielleicht wechseln sie später den Server oder probieren andere Dinge im Fediverse

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 100
Welcome to the 100th edition of Fediverse Report! It’s been a wonderful and strange 2 years to report on all the developers in the fediverse and the wider open social web. The current state of the open social web is nothing like I expected it to be when I started writing. When I first started I expected the fediverse to slowly gain wider adoption over the years. Instead, adoption has dropped compared with 2 years ago. At the same time, the current state of the internet and social platforms make it loud and clear that there is a huge need for better social platforms. I do not know what role the fediverse and the open social web will play in all of it, but I do strongly belief in the importance of helping people understand what is going on in the space. Thank you all for reading and the support over the years!
Pixelfed has seen massive growth over the last week. The photo sharing platform grew from some 20k monthly active users in December to almost 200k MAU right now. The inflow of new people is driven by a combination of three things: people are actively looking for an alternative to Instagram, as well as renewed media attention to Pixelfed as a result of the official app release. Pixelfed’s launch of the official apps has gotten significant media attention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The reviews of the Pixelfed apps show that there are two reasons for people to look for an Instagram alternative: not only are people looking to ditch Meta products due to their alignment with Trump, people are also looking for another photo sharing app that has not gotten as bloated as Instagram has. The title of the Lifehacker review makes that point clear, describing Pixelfed as a “Return to Instagram’s Glory Days”.
Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault says he has gotten multiple offers from VCs to chat about Pixelfed, but that he has rejected them all. Instead he will launch a Kickstarter on January 22nd. Not much is clear yet about the Kickstarter, but in the introduction Supernault makes it clear he has big plans, saying: “We aim to be the first Fediverse app with a billion people by taking on the worlds biggest players using open source standards.” Loops got critiqued for it’s “predatory” Terms of Service, which Supernault responded to a few days later by changing the ToS of Loops to be the same as those of Pixelfed.
Forum software NodeBB has officially launched their 4.0 version, which includes ActivityPub support. NodeBB has been working on adding ActivityPub for almost a year, and been testing it for a while as well. The community.nodebb.org forum has been connected to the fediverse for a while now, showing what a connection between forums and microblogging looks like in practice. Developer Julian Lam says that existing NodeBB forums will have to opt-in to the fediverse connection, while it will be enabled by default for new forums going forward. Lam also says that the work on ActivityPub also helped connect NodeBB with competitor Discourse, saying “NodeBB and Discourse have been vying for the exact same market share (forums, community-building, self-started or enterprise) for over 10 years, and it was only after ActivityPub came around that the dev teams even started talking to one another.” By both working on ActivityPub, these competitors are now also collaborators, and both their forums can connect with each other.
BotKit by Fedify is a new framework for building bots on ActivityPub. It is powered by Fedify, a TypeScript library for building with ActivityPub. Using BotKit allows people to easily build bots for ActivityPub, instead of building bots on Mastodon or Misskey.
The WordPress ActivityPub plugin now gives you the ability to show fediverse engagement on the page itself. I’ve enabled it below as well, go check it out!
Some stray thoughts on Pixelfed’s growth:
One of the fundamental challenges of building a decentralised social network with ActivityPub is in the tension between local and global. The fediverse is a super-network of connected social networks: you can see mastodon.social as its own social network, that has joined the larger fediverse. This theoretically allows for benefits such as local digital communities with local norms and moderation. In practice, most fediverse software is not interested in the local communities part, and actively discourages using the software as such: Mastodon explicitly prohibits posting only to your local server, for example. As such, the fediverse as it currently is, is mainly a singular global network, and less a network made of a plurality of spaces. This current dynamic in the fediverse is what makes forums like NodeBB adding ActivityPub to their platforms so interesting. Forums like NodeBB are understood to be local communities. When you go to a forum, you expect to see only people and posts from that specific forum. Forums are often tied around a specific topic or community, making much easier to define what the local forum community is all about. Now these forums that understand the value of having a clear local community have an additional connection to a wider network. It is effectively the reverse sales-pitch of most current fediverse servers. Mastodon says: join the larger fediverse, and you might have some additional benefits if you join the fediverse via a specific community/server. NodeBB says: join our specific forum community, and you might have some additional benefits by being connected to a larger fediverse network.
TechCrunch checked in with Threads on their plans to add account portability to their fediverse integration, writing: “A Meta spokesperson couldn’t confirm that the topic was even on the Threads roadmap, let alone when it was due to be addressed.” I recently published that I do not have a satisfying answer as to “Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?”. Last week I also reported that the Threads-fediverse connection is seeing incredibly low uptake from the side of Threads; in total at best only a few thousand people on Threads follow someone from the fediverse. As Meta is quickly aligning itself politically with Trump, and applying censorship accordingly, the question becomes louder and louder: why is the fediverse still bothering with Threads? In practice nobody on Threads is interested in connecting with the fediverse, it does not allow for people to migrate their account from Threads to the fediverse, and it is bad optics for the fediverse to boot.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can follow me on the fediverse and subscribe to my weekly email newsletter below.

Does anyone have any experiences with successfully connecting #Fediverse apps with Brid.gy _other_ than #Mastodon and Bookwyrm? I tried but failed to connect my #Pixelfed account earlier, so I am curious about any other possibilities.
I am all for using this possibility, if only to show the fine folks at #Bluesky that we have a rich ecosystem of different apps over here. 😉

@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange · Reply to Fediverse Report's post
A good report as always, and agreed about the importance of @nodebb's release.
With @pixelfed , it's important to highlight that the moderation story is a disaster waiting to happen. @dansup himself has said that he still needs to implement key functionality like moderation roles and a dashboard, and that he doesn't have a moderation team in place. Others have pointed out multiple unfixed bugs related to reporting.
A high-profile Pixelfed fiasco (or worse, blatantly illegal content) could not only destroy the reputation of Pixelfed, but the sharpnel could have an impact on fedi as a whole -- especially at a time when regulators in the UK are clarifying enforcement of the Online Safety Act, and anti-LGBTQIA2S+ fascist oligarch who run social networks that compete with fedi are in power in the US.
It would be great if Dan changes his stance -- turning off open registration on pixelfed.social until he has the moderation situation under control would be an easy first step that could make a big difference.
And also, we really need to think about what we can collectively do to limit the damage to fedi as a whole.

A question to my fellow #Fediverse developers: how do you handle if something you have announced changes? For example if gets updated, it gets deleted etc. Do you propagate an update to the followers, so that their targets instances, who might only know about that object because of your announce get informed?

BotKit by Fedify is a new framework for building bots on ActivityPub. It is powered by Fedify, a TypeScript library for building with ActivityPub. Using BotKit allows people to easily build bots for ActivityPub, instead of building bots on Mastodon or Misskey.
The WordPress ActivityPub plugin now gives you the ability to show fediverse engagement on the page itself. I’ve enabled it below as well, go check it out!
Some stray thoughts on Pixelfed’s growth:
One of the fundamental challenges of building a decentralised social network with ActivityPub is in the tension between local and global. The fediverse is a super-network of connected social networks: you can see mastodon.social as its own social network, that has joined the larger fediverse. This theoretically allows for benefits such as local digital communities with local norms and moderation. In practice, most fediverse software is not interested in the local communities part, and actively discourages using the software as such: Mastodon explicitly prohibits posting only to your local server, for example. As such, the fediverse as it currently is, is mainly a singular global network, and less a network made of a plurality of spaces. This current dynamic in the fediverse is what makes forums like NodeBB adding ActivityPub to their platforms so interesting. Forums like NodeBB are understood to be local communities. When you go to a forum, you expect to see only people and posts from that specific forum. Forums are often tied around a specific topic or community, making much easier to define what the local forum community is all about. Now these forums that understand the value of having a clear local community have an additional connection to a wider network. It is effectively the reverse sales-pitch of most current fediverse servers. Mastodon says: join the larger fediverse, and you might have some additional benefits if you join the fediverse via a specific community/server. NodeBB says: join our specific forum community, and you might have some additional benefits by being connected to a larger fediverse network.
TechCrunch checked in with Threads on their plans to add account portability to their fediverse integration, writing: “A Meta spokesperson couldn’t confirm that the topic was even on the Threads roadmap, let alone when it was due to be addressed.” I recently published that I do not have a satisfying answer as to “Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?”. Last week I also reported that the Threads-fediverse connection is seeing incredibly low uptake from the side of Threads; in total at best only a few thousand people on Threads follow someone from the fediverse. As Meta is quickly aligning itself politically with Trump, and applying censorship accordingly, the question becomes louder and louder: why is the fediverse still bothering with Threads? In practice nobody on Threads is interested in connecting with the fediverse, it does not allow for people to migrate their account from Threads to the fediverse, and it is bad optics for the fediverse to boot.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 100
Welcome to the 100th edition of Fediverse Report! It’s been a wonderful and strange 2 years to report on all the developers in the fediverse and the wider open social web. The current state of the open social web is nothing like I expected it to be when I started writing. When I first started I expected the fediverse to slowly gain wider adoption over the years. Instead, adoption has dropped compared with 2 years ago. At the same time, the current state of the internet and social platforms make it loud and clear that there is a huge need for better social platforms. I do not know what role the fediverse and the open social web will play in all of it, but I do strongly belief in the importance of helping people understand what is going on in the space. Thank you all for reading and the support over the years!
Pixelfed has seen massive growth over the last week. The photo sharing platform grew from some 20k monthly active users in December to almost 200k MAU right now. The inflow of new people is driven by a combination of three things: people are actively looking for an alternative to Instagram, as well as renewed media attention to Pixelfed as a result of the official app release. Pixelfed’s launch of the official apps has gotten significant media attention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The reviews of the Pixelfed apps show that there are two reasons for people to look for an Instagram alternative: not only are people looking to ditch Meta products due to their alignment with Trump, people are also looking for another photo sharing app that has not gotten as bloated as Instagram has. The title of the Lifehacker review makes that point clear, describing Pixelfed as a “Return to Instagram’s Glory Days”.
Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault says he has gotten multiple offers from VCs to chat about Pixelfed, but that he has rejected them all. Instead he will launch a Kickstarter on January 22nd. Not much is clear yet about the Kickstarter, but in the introduction Supernault makes it clear he has big plans, saying: “We aim to be the first Fediverse app with a billion people by taking on the worlds biggest players using open source standards.” Loops got critiqued for it’s “predatory” Terms of Service, which Supernault responded to a few days later by changing the ToS of Loops to be the same as those of Pixelfed.
Forum software NodeBB has officially launched their 4.0 version, which includes ActivityPub support. NodeBB has been working on adding ActivityPub for almost a year, and been testing it for a while as well. The community.nodebb.org forum has been connected to the fediverse for a while now, showing what a connection between forums and microblogging looks like in practice. Developer Julian Lam says that existing NodeBB forums will have to opt-in to the fediverse connection, while it will be enabled by default for new forums going forward. Lam also says that the work on ActivityPub also helped connect NodeBB with competitor Discourse, saying “NodeBB and Discourse have been vying for the exact same market share (forums, community-building, self-started or enterprise) for over 10 years, and it was only after ActivityPub came around that the dev teams even started talking to one another.” By both working on ActivityPub, these competitors are now also collaborators, and both their forums can connect with each other.

As we welcome new people to the #fediverse we need to help teach them (and ourselves) that this is a public forum (mostly) and that private conversations are better protected by tools such as #Signal. I'd say this is especially true for people fleeing #Facebook who are used to the illusion of privacy based on the audience controls on that platform.

💬 Was mir hier wirklich auf den Zeiger geht:
NEUE Menschen kommen ins #Fediverse und es gibt schon wieder Diskussionen darüber, ob DAS oder JENES gut ist. Ob sie nicht besser auf einem anderen Server besser aufgehoben wären, oder,
oder, oder...
Können WIR uns nicht einfach NUR darüber freuen, dass sie ins #FEDIVERSE gefunden haben und ihnen Zeit geben sich hier einzuleben❓
Vielleicht wechseln sie später den Server oder probieren andere Dinge im Fediverse
ICH FREUE MICH, DASS IHR HIER SEID 🎉

#Mastodon #fediverse Disappointed about the interoperability of platforms using open standards. To beat proprietary bluesky popular appeal, anterograde compatability is my recommendation. It's a computer. Everythings a file. sharing files should not be complicated.

A reminder to folks who cross-post on the #Fediverse and on #Bluesky :
https://fed.brid.gy/ is a very, very useful tool. It is saving me a lot of time for me.
What I typically do with it, is first to post on #Mastodon (aka the fediverse) and then to share the mastodon post on Bluesky using the bridgy app.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
With this wave of migrations comes more people to complain that Fedi is confusing...
I still don't see how.
Email exists and it's not even as simple. You can't "migrate" emails. So the "lock-in" is permanent, where on Fedi, picking an instance is important, however, you CAN migrate fairly easily.
There's some learned behaviors from other social media platforms that needs to be re-learned like following. Following people is how Fediverse goes around. Follow vigorously and follow often.
You can always unfollow.
It takes time to learn. Be patient and ask. Complaining and saying things are confusing won't do any good...

Question and/or idea for a more #userFriendly #fediverse
One of my friend is trying mastodon rn, he tried to subscribe to an account and had the message "to continue, you need to follow from your account" (image below in french)
I sometimes have this problem as well when I click on a link to add a new tab, and suddenly I'm not on my server anymore and I am asked the same thing !
Isn't there a way, when you already have an account that you use all the time, to stay connected ?

In my impression, one notable difference in the current X-odus compared to 2022 is the significantly higher number of profiles linked to social movements. This shift seems tied to the excellent work being done by initiatives like #helloquitx (France), #juntas (Spain), and #ByeByeElon (Germany). It's also fueled by the growing European discontent with the influence of a dangerous oligarch.

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust @fedify foundation.

Bulletin boards (a.k.a., “forums”) have never gone away. Actually, they’re more popular than ever.
Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.
Facebook Groups are forums – bolted onto Facebook itself – and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.
Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.
And the reason why @nodebb federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 – which was just released today.

Bulletin boards (a.k.a., “forums”) have never gone away. Actually, they’re more popular than ever.
Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.
Facebook Groups are forums – bolted onto Facebook itself – and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.
Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.
And the reason why @nodebb federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 – which was just released today.

NodeBB has reached an important new milestone — the latest version of NodeBB (version 4.0.0) now connects to the Fediverse!
#SpaceHost will add support for NodeBB, for fully-managed hosting.
@reiver@mastodon.social · Reply to @reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman:'s post
SpaceHost actually integrated NodeBB back in May 2024, but NodeBB didn't connect to the Fediverse yet.
So, we held off in making it available.
But now, NodeBB Fediverse support is there.
So, after we update to the new version (NodeBB 4.0.0) and do some quality-assurance (QA) testing, we will make it available on https://spacehost.one/

Looks like he’s put up demands and ngl, these are pretty great (im a lil timid about following him myself, so ill just boost and if you’re brave enough you can view it).
bsky.app/profile/bayscholarbae…
For those who don’t wanna view Bluesky, my interpretation is: He’s basically trying to wildcat the big social company’s tech ops people, asking for:
- US fed to uphold the #tiktok ban because the president just throwing out a ban that the congress passed/the SCOTUS upheld is unconstitutional in the US, and for the congress to defend its constitutional authority (and i think we all know how the congress is gonna react. They’ll do nothing if no one holds them accountable)
- relevant to our interests on #Fediverse, points out that now that a US political party has essentially done a hostile takeover of the 4 big microblogging/short form video platforms, they’ll start laying off more workers from all 4 because they’re redundant to them now. Hence the call for wildcat (ironically on inaug day lol)
- also relevant to our interests, points out how difficult it is for big social platforms to run without the tech workers behind the scenes, which i think we’ve all learned out here in federated social lol. Even if you’re conservative they’re gonna lay you off because they don’t need to pay you for 4 different microblog platforms.
- In some of his other discussion SUPER relevant to our interests: he says that if Bluesky squelches the non-violent call to action for the workers of their competition to strike (because it looks like it’s just focused on the 4 microblogs), it demonstrates that Bluesky is just a holding tank to “kettle” people. I speculate that he’s actually hoping that he’ll get blocked so he can say “see, Bluesky is in on it! Why would they help their competition?”
He also gives a bunch of tips for malicious compliance and other direct action for admins who want to participate that aren’t walking off the job or holding signs, so they can participate … well … in a decentralized way lol. This dude is doing old school labor tactics in digital form, this is some “checkerboard strike” level stuff. Mad props to this dude for trying some direct, non-violent, targeted action to uphold democratic norms and worker rights. There’s the *real* masculine energy in the tech workforce. 👀
Like I said lol, toss a coin to your admin Witchers these social spaces really can’t function without them.

Has anyone figured out what they do with long Mastodon threads vs blog posts?
Due to the chronology effect (I post in one time zone and many of my Mastodon friends in another don't see them), and search issues, I have friends who urge me to try to turn more things I post here into blog posts. (ahem @wynlim)

@evanprodromou@socialwebfoundation.org
I loved this video that the Daily Show‘s Desi Lydic posted on Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. Give it a watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv-X1E71RGo
Lydic talks about the dizzying changes that are happening in social media these days. Internet users over the last decade have gotten used to a small number of huge social platforms. But political changes, content policy issues, and legal platform shutdowns have upended that formerly stable structure. People can no longer count on their friends, family, colleagues and neighbours all being on the same social networking system, much less news outlets, politicians, and celebrities. So they’re racing around, trying new applications (including, as Lydic notes, the awesome Pixelfed), and seeking a place to be social again.
Why should anyone have to do this? After all, you and I didn’t change our political outlook or our content policies or our legal ownership structure. We have governments and companies changing all around us that interfere with how we can interact with the people that matter most to us. Regardless of how you feel about these changes, why do everyday users have to be the ones to scramble to adapt?
The Fediverse is based on the simple belief that your social connections and your published content are yours. They belong to you. You should get to decide where to set up your home on the social web, based on your own priorities — technical, political, financial, romantic, whatever. And once you have that place on the social web, you can connect to anybody else, on any Fediverse platform, as easily as if they were on your own.
So when your friends are all trying a new Fediverse-enabled app from the app store, you can follow them from your own Fediverse home, see what they’re posting, like, comment, and share. You don’t have to scramble to install yet another application, go through the complicated signup flow, set up your profile, and alert everyone you know about yet another identity you have. You can stay put, keep all your current connections, but still stay connected to your restless friends and bleeding-edge influencers.
And if you get tired of the place you’ve set up your Fediverse home, you can move completely — taking all your social connections (and, soon, all your content) to the new platform you’ve chosen. You won’t have to make a series of announcements, like Lydic does, about all the different places your Internet presence is scattered. It’s handled automatically by the Fediverse platforms. Your followers, family and friends might not even notice the difference.
Social media is fun; we get it. And there’s nothing wrong with trying new apps. Being a pioneer on the cool new platform is invigorating. But if it’s not fun, and you’re feeling the whiplash of multiple platforms rising and falling weekly, please consider setting up your long-term homebase on a Fediverse-enabled platform. You might be surprised how many platforms are already Fediverse-enabled, and more are coming online every day.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live · Reply to Dr. Sarah Pohl's post
@LilithElina on Fediverse, only "requested" posts are sent to the instances that requests them, either by having followers on that instance or someone from the instance boosts the post. Also, even if you follow now, the posts won't backfill, you have to copy the link from each post and input it into your instances search bar. Hope that makes sense.👍
If you have any questions, let me know.
@raphael@post.lurk.org
hm something is missing to inform when a post is from another fediverse software. Like a stamp on the profile picture or a notice on the post itself. I mean, if I receive a post from a Pixelfed on my Mastodon timeline from a friend who have both account, how should I know quickly where does it come from? Looking at the instance name is not a solution (all PF instances doesn’t contain “pixelfed”). My attempt to solve that a couple of years ago was to slightly change my profile picture, and name «Raphaël’s image, Raphaël’s videos» as my pixelfed, peertube account names. But it doesn’t solve the problem, it just adds noise imo. #fediverse #issue

Welcome to Vivaldi Social, Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If you are coming from a place like X, Facebook or TikTok, this place is different. The good thing is that you only see things in your feed from people you follow. The content is shown reverse chronological.
This means that you will likely see a lot less misinformation, hate speech and AI crap.
But if you do not follow anyone, your feed will feel empty. So go ahead and find people and organizations that you like and follow them. Make things interesting. There is a lot of interesting people out there.
The search is great for finding content and who to follow. Hashtags are useful when searching as well.

There is something incredibly freeing about being able to like a post on Pixelfed without fear of screwing up your algorithm. I find myself just liking cool photos way more frequently now.

@pixelfed @EUCommission Politicians across Europe complain about desinformation and adress the need for safe and possibly European alternatives to the likes of X, Meta and TikTok. Here we got one! We need more funding and recognition for #mastodon, #pixelfed and the #fediverse as a whole! This is a matter of security, this is a matter of survival for democracy! Thank you!

2025 kicks off with A Modest Divestment, a deliberate effort to reduce my reliance on US-based big tech. Canceling 365, switching to #Startmail & #Internxt, and exploring #OnlyOffice. Saying goodbye to #Meta and tightening up #privacy protections. Here's to a secure, private, and independent year ahead.
@stefano@social.stefanomarinelli.it
Ciao, sono Stefano. Sono Barista del BSD Cafe e della relativa istanza Mastodon: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe
Il mio utente Fediverse principale è dunque @stefano
Sono nel Fediverse da molti anni, prima su istanze più grandi, poi in una delle mie. Questa è una mia vecchia istanza, online dal 2022, che ho deciso di ricominciare ad usare come piccolo “diario” delle piccole cose di tutti i giorni. Pubblicherò principalmente sia in inglese che italiano - anche foto o altro. Continuerò a pubblicare dal mio account del BSD Cafe come prima e qui pubblicherò quelle cose in più che sul BSD Cafe non ho fino ad ora pubblicato. Come un diario, un flusso di pensieri. I post scadranno - non so ancora quanto lunga sarà la loro vita, ma non credo li lascerò troppo a lungo. I flussi di pensieri, dopo un po’, finiscono per essere obsoleti e dimenticati.
Per maggiori informazioni su di me e su cosa faccio, ci sono riferimenti sia sui miei blog (linkati al profilo) che sul mio profilo del BSD Cafe.
@stefano@social.stefanomarinelli.it
Hello, I’m Stefano. I’m a Barista at the BSD Cafe and its Mastodon instance: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe
My main Fediverse account is @stefano
I’ve been part of the Fediverse for many years, starting on larger instances, then eventually moving to one of my own. This is an older instance of mine, online since 2022, that I decided to restart as a small “journal” for the little things in everyday life. I’ll mainly post in both English and Italian, including photos or other content. I’ll continue posting from my BSD Cafe account as before, and here I’ll share additional things that I haven’t posted on BSD Cafe. Like a journal, a stream of thoughts.
The posts will expire - I’m not sure how long they’ll last, but I don’t think I’ll leave them up for too long. After a while, streams of thoughts end up becoming outdated and forgotten.
For more about me and what I do, there are links to my blogs (linked in the profile) and my BSD Cafe profile.
@rolle@mementomori.social
The Web has always been social. It's a network people use and communicate with. When I created my first website in the 90s, it had visitors. I didn't know who they were, except for those who sent me email. There has been forums, BBSs, IRC, since the 1980s.
So from the social perspective it does not really matter where your "instance" is, because it's already a part of a huge network. Your "instance" can be a website, a social media platform, or anything of a sort. It's a presence online.
The ActivityPub protocol that Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed and many other platforms online use, actually has endpoints called "inbox" and "outbox". The logic is very similar to email, but more real time.
So for those who criticize Mastodon or Fediverse as "difficult" or something that has no "reach" I want to say that any form of communication online (be it a normal website or Mastodon or whatever) has all the reach potential in the world. You just need to make yourself heard. We're too used to corporate platforms, money making machines and algorithms to do the work for us. It distorts the whole picture.
Centralized platforms have no future, but the social web is eternal.
@maj@cosocial.ca
@maj@cosocial.ca
Maybe dumb question?
How do I find the fediverse address for a pixelfed account? i.e. my own, so I can follow me there, here...
The url in the address bar is "https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/783389617653661133" and the username under my avatar is just "@maj" ...
I'm going to guess it would be maj@pixelfed.social but 1. that has no results when I search from mastodon and 2. kinda a PITA in general for people to easily /quickly share their profile and/or fediverse findable username?

I joined the Fediverse on May 30, 2023, and throughout my time on the Fedi, I have always believed in transparency. I even published my follow and block list, regularly on GitLab.
Tomorrow, January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will be President, and the future is uncertain. To prevent anyone from possibly becoming a target, I have switched my follow and followers to private. I would suggest others to do the same.

I'm not a developer, but for those of you who are, how close does Mastodon's official Groups feature look to being finished?
The pull request is here:

Asking as a lot of new people have said they want to leave Facebook but can't find a direct Fedi equivalent to Facebook Groups.

@box464@mastodon.social
One of the best things about the fediverse is choice. There are all kinds of apps available, and each one fills a niche and presents your feeds to you in different ways.
There are alternative Pixelfed apps, and on iOS, @impressia stands out. I know @PixelDroid is available for Android users as well. Don’t be afraid to check out non-default apps!

#TikTok goes on black, #Instagram changes layout - two examples that upset a lot of users.
Therefore the #Fediverse is so great: #freedom for the users.

Free Software is a philosophical point of view.
Please learn about this as understanding #software freedom is essential in repressive times where the users loose more and more freedom.
@yuliyan@nahe.social
One of the hurdles for new fediverse users is historic discoverability of content. For example, if we view someone's profile from a remote instance, we only see the posts dating back to the first federation with our home instance. If you are on a large instance this might not be a big deal. It is for smaller instances like mine though.

@gyptazy@gyptazy.com
I just started my Fediverse relay service which is a powerful way to support smaller instances, especially single-user setups, by boosting their visibility and enabling them to connect more easily with the wider network.
You can find more information at:
https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com
The instance is reachable on IPv4 and IPv6.

You will need a Pixelfed but single-user, like forking Hollo (for the backend) for its ease of installation and its lightness and Phanpy (for the frontend) by improving the view for the images a little.

I think Phanpy probably has the best UX/UI when it comes to image posting, it's simple, everything is at your fingertips without having to click fifteen times everywhere.

Une chose que je trouve intéressante sur Hollo et que j'ai vu nul par ailleurs :
## The number of recent public posts to fetch from remote actors when they are encountered first time.

So ... The #Fediverse. I get that the Fediverse is not *one* thing but many things that use #ActivityPub. Much as the internet is not *one* thing but many things that use TCP/IP.
Mastodon is still, I think, the largest fraction of the Fediverse but as a Mastodon user, what powers does ActivityPub grant me? Do I magically have a "free account" on a Pixelfed instance? (yes, pretty much everything in the Fediverse is free, but you know what I mean). Does that other service "know" me?

#Instagram から恣意的に「危険なリンクとして」ブロックされた、#Fediverse の写真共有 SNS #Pixelfed が #Meta の #MarkZuckerberg にあてたオープンレター、いいじゃん
以下、意訳
> マーク様
お元気でいらっしゃることを願っています。今日、興味深いことに気付きました。Instagram が私の小さなオープンソース プロジェクトへのリンクをブロックしているようです。ご存知のとおり、個人データを収集したり、アルゴリズム フィードを強制したりすることなく、人々が写真を共有できるプロジェクトです。
正直に言うと、光栄です。ボランティアの小さなチームが、皆さんの注目を集めるようなものを作れるなんて、誰が想像したでしょうか。私たちは、人々にオンラインでの思い出の共有方法の選択肢を与えようとしているだけです。ベンチャー キャピタルも監視資本主義もありません。コードとコミュニティだけです。
Facebook が始まったときのことを覚えていますか。それは、エンゲージメント メトリックを最大化することではなく、人々を結びつけることでした。私たちのプロジェクトは Instagram に比べると小さいかもしれませんが、私たちはソーシャル メディアの本来の精神に忠実であり続けています。つまり、人々にオンラインでの存在を製品化することなくコントロールできるようにすることです。
あなたは私たちを無視することもできました。その代わりに、私たちのリンクをブロックすることで、私たちが望む最高の支持を私たちに与えてくれました。あなた方は、私たちがずっと言ってきたことを裏付けてくれました。つまり、大手テクノロジー企業は、真のイノベーションを促進することよりも、自分たちの囲い込まれた庭を守ることに関心があるということです。
私たちのプラットフォームへのリンクをブロックするたびに、私たちがそもそもなぜそれを作ったのかを人々に思い出させてくれます。あなたの行動は、人々に、検討する価値のある代替案、つまりプライバシーと主体性を尊重する代替案があることを伝えています。マーク、ありがとう。あなたは私たちの小さなプロジェクトを、デジタル独占に対する抵抗の象徴に変えてくれました。

(yes, pretty much everything in the Fediverse is free, but you know what I mean). Does that other service "know" me?

Une chose que je trouve intéressante sur Hollo et que j'ai vu nul par ailleurs :
## The number of recent public posts to fetch from remote actors when they are encountered first time.
REMOTE_ACTOR_FETCH_POSTS=10@KazukyAkayashi@social.zarchbox.fr
Vous aller dire que je suis chiant mais quand je vois le nombre de nouveaux•elles arrivant•e FR (ou Francophone) qui débarquent avec une adresse en mastodon.social ...
Mastodon c'est vraiment le Google du fediverse (en plus d'être le soft le moins interessant de tous
, ça c'est gratuit mais quand même vrai)

Do you have a cooI open-source / Fediverse project that is ideologically usercentric?
I am offering my help in the marketing/PR department to projects like this that don't have regular funding (read: passion projects).

@mosseri@threads.net Adam,
You need to know that the changes in your moderation policy announced by your leadership is putting your relationship with the #Fediverse in serious jeopardy.
From the moment #Meta announced #Threads there was strong debate within the community on whether you could be a trusted actor in this space. I, against my own initial gut reaction (having deleted my FB profile in 2020 and never joined Insta due to family that have been harmed by it), decided to give the benefit of the doubt solely because I thought Thread’s entrance into the #ActivityPub universe gave that effort instant credibility with people and entities that would never have considered it important before.
But now, on the eve of the ascension and return of the most dangerous President the United States has ever produced, at the height of a rise in regressive action and policy that puts people in direct danger, your company has chosen to double down.
No amount of earnest sounding words or tented, pensive, hands can mask what is going on here.
And the majority of the Fediverse is seeing it. Threads.net will reach blocking thresholds by @iftas soon, if it hasn’t already.
You are decidedly part of the problem, and always have been.
And that is why today, after giving you and the handful of people on Threads that I like and follow a chance ( @jakebroe@threads.net @gtconway3@threads.net @karaswisher@threads.net @stonekettle@threads.net @realjuddlegum@threads.net among others) I have to again cut away from Meta not because of them, but because of leaders like yourself who refuse to put the well being of all people ahead of political and ideological ambition.
I believe you and I agree on one thing, the #OpenSocialWeb is the future because it *is* freedom and that will always draw people away from oppressive spaces.
Long live the #Fediverse.
Cheers
Chris

#Instagram から恣意的に「危険なリンクとして」ブロックされた、#Fediverse の写真共有 SNS #Pixelfed が #Meta の #MarkZuckerberg にあてたオープンレター、いいじゃん
以下、意訳
> マーク様
お元気でいらっしゃることを願っています。今日、興味深いことに気付きました。Instagram が私の小さなオープンソース プロジェクトへのリンクをブロックしているようです。ご存知のとおり、個人データを収集したり、アルゴリズム フィードを強制したりすることなく、人々が写真を共有できるプロジェクトです。
正直に言うと、光栄です。ボランティアの小さなチームが、皆さんの注目を集めるようなものを作れるなんて、誰が想像したでしょうか。私たちは、人々にオンラインでの思い出の共有方法の選択肢を与えようとしているだけです。ベンチャー キャピタルも監視資本主義もありません。コードとコミュニティだけです。
Facebook が始まったときのことを覚えていますか。それは、エンゲージメント メトリックを最大化することではなく、人々を結びつけることでした。私たちのプロジェクトは Instagram に比べると小さいかもしれませんが、私たちはソーシャル メディアの本来の精神に忠実であり続けています。つまり、人々にオンラインでの存在を製品化することなくコントロールできるようにすることです。
あなたは私たちを無視することもできました。その代わりに、私たちのリンクをブロックすることで、私たちが望む最高の支持を私たちに与えてくれました。あなた方は、私たちがずっと言ってきたことを裏付けてくれました。つまり、大手テクノロジー企業は、真のイノベーションを促進することよりも、自分たちの囲い込まれた庭を守ることに関心があるということです。
私たちのプラットフォームへのリンクをブロックするたびに、私たちがそもそもなぜそれを作ったのかを人々に思い出させてくれます。あなたの行動は、人々に、検討する価値のある代替案、つまりプライバシーと主体性を尊重する代替案があることを伝えています。マーク、ありがとう。あなたは私たちの小さなプロジェクトを、デジタル独占に対する抵抗の象徴に変えてくれました。

@dansup I’m setting up #fediverse accounts for my psychedelic trance record label right now.
We used to share lots of videos on instagram
Pixelfed doesn’t support videos, and Loops doesn’t show accounts outside to the fediverse yet…

This exchange doesn't bode well...

Things I have learnt this week:
1. trying to migrate your #Pixelfed account to a new server will go horribly wrong and if you migrate back again you'll find you've lost all your followers.
2. Using Pixelfed is going to make you feel that the #fediverse naysayers might have a point re ease of use.
Anyway if you were previously following @snaprails@pixelfed.social you might want to check because I'm not sure you are now.

Was watching the firehose of people posting their "hello worlds" on @PixelFed and noticing how diverse the demographics are. Mainly not white dudes, and seemingly much younger then the average around here. So great if we can attract new people to the #fediverse that are much different then those who use it today.

Have you done your #fediverse duty and welcomed any of the new people? It is easy to do and it makes the whole experience of joining the fediverse much more rewarding!
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
It's always VERY confusing to me when people try to advocate against Fedi being an open platform. (which is and always was the goal)
If you want a walled garden, there's MANY options for you to choose from, yet you chose the option that is specifically NOT that.

I think the #fediverse needs a safety net.
We started from the bottom up with developers creating things themselves and others adopting it, but this makes us susceptible to bad agents.
With a single developer, there is a clear point of attack. Also, the individuals running instances can run out of money.
We should have a non-profit that will pay for server fees when moderators are short on cash to keep the network up.
We should have a site that tells us when vital programs go down.
Thoughts?

@jerzy.pilch welcome! search is a bit hard across the fediverse but I see you are already hashtagging it up so you are half way there. Pixelfed is part of a larger network called the #fediverse so if you find info about how to search the fediverse in general it mostly applies to pixelfed

@Flaky@furry.engineer
If you block a domain on Mastodon, does that also block even people you follow? Not at the admin level (i.e. fediblock) but rather the user level.
On Bluesky I saw people trying to push its users onto fedi saying to use domain blocks as a solution to the Reply Guy problem that plagues this network, and AFAIK, the user-level domain block is nuclear and Mastodon makes that clear, so I literally cannot do that for some of the instances these lot frequent. (also, good fucking luck blocking mastodon.social lmao)
I think those lot just want people off of the platform they hate while dismissing every concern about the platform they love.
@phil@fed.bajsicki.com
Of public interest:
At least 15,000 people fully, without limits, irrevocably, licensed their personal information, public image, name and all data that reached loops.video infrastructure... to @dansup@mastodon.social 's loops.video platform.
Had they known they're entirely losing control of everything, would they be using the platform?

RE: https://fed.bajsicki.com/notes/a349itz9il
@phil@fed.bajsicki.com
How about no?
You're way overstepping with this, poisoning the entire ActivityPub ecosystem.
Let me break this down for you...
https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/
In short: if you really intend to federate, respect your users and their data.
Implementing federation while keeping these terms is a severe breach of trust, and would poison the entirety of the network in an way which will cripple ActivityPub, and undermine the very foundation of what AP stands for with regard to privacy, data ownership, and control over what we post to the network.

Was watching the firehose of people posting their "hello worlds" on @PixelFed and noticing how diverse the demographics are. Mainly not white dudes, and seemingly much younger then the average around here. So great if we can attract new people to the #fediverse that are much different then those who use it today.

I loved this video that the Daily Show‘s Desi Lydic posted on Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. Give it a watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv-X1E71RGo
Lydic talks about the dizzying changes that are happening in social media these days. Internet users over the last decade have gotten used to a small number of huge social platforms. But political changes, content policy issues, and legal platform shutdowns have upended that formerly stable structure. People can no longer count on their friends, family, colleagues and neighbours all being on the same social networking system, much less news outlets, politicians, and celebrities. So they’re racing around, trying new applications (including, as Lydic notes, the awesome Pixelfed), and seeking a place to be social again.
Why should anyone have to do this? After all, you and I didn’t change our political outlook or our content policies or our legal ownership structure. We have governments and companies changing all around us that interfere with how we can interact with the people that matter most to us. Regardless of how you feel about these changes, why do everyday users have to be the ones to scramble to adapt?
The Fediverse is based on the simple belief that your social connections and your published content are yours. They belong to you. You should get to decide where to set up your home on the social web, based on your own priorities — technical, political, financial, romantic, whatever. And once you have that place on the social web, you can connect to anybody else, on any Fediverse platform, as easily as if they were on your own.
So when your friends are all trying a new Fediverse-enabled app from the app store, you can follow them from your own Fediverse home, see what they’re posting, like, comment, and share. You don’t have to scramble to install yet another application, go through the complicated signup flow, set up your profile, and alert everyone you know about yet another identity you have. You can stay put, keep all your current connections, but still stay connected to your restless friends and bleeding-edge influencers.
And if you get tired of the place you’ve set up your Fediverse home, you can move completely — taking all your social connections (and, soon, all your content) to the new platform you’ve chosen. You won’t have to make a series of announcements, like Lydic does, about all the different places your Internet presence is scattered. It’s handled automatically by the Fediverse platforms. Your followers, family and friends might not even notice the difference.
Social media is fun; we get it. And there’s nothing wrong with trying new apps. Being a pioneer on the cool new platform is invigorating. But if it’s not fun, and you’re feeling the whiplash of multiple platforms rising and falling weekly, please consider setting up your long-term homebase on a Fediverse-enabled platform. You might be surprised how many platforms are already Fediverse-enabled, and more are coming online every day.

Willkommen im #Fediverse @HumboldtUni! 🎉
https://www.hu-berlin.de/de
Ich wünsche Euch gute Gespräche und viel Inspiration.
@shellsharks@malici.ous.computer
In a recent post, I made the case for why the Fediverse, with it's many thousands of instances would be impractical for billionaires to 'take down', in the same way that billionaires have successfully bought-out, or otherwise taken down other centralized social media/news platforms. This I think is true, in terms of the Fediverse's resiliency to the power of just money being thrown, but vulnerability remains. Specifically, I am concerned about recent government regulation that has already proven to be effective in closing down Fediverse instances and deterring others from even spinning up an instance.
I'm no legal professional, so excuse me if I say anything that is wrong or doesn't make sense. Anecdotally, I've seen a bunch of posts across the Fediverse about how they are closing down an instance thanks to the UK's Online Safety Act (2023). Similarly, it seems like the US bill (KOSA) could have similar effects? From what I understand, there is some new liability if your server hosts certain content and given how many Fediverse servers operate, caching content locally from other servers, there introduces a vulnerability by which a malicious actor could spam the Fediverse with something "bad"/illegal which would then be stored/cached across a large swath of the Fediverse which could expose these instance admins to legal liability.
Not good. And as someone who runs an instance themselves, I certainly don't want to open myself up to legal attack / prosecution just because some A-hole out there decides to spam me with illegal pictures or w/e.
So my question to the Fediverse, and to those that build the platforms we use here is, how can we re-architect the platforms and protocols to better protect ourselves? What do instance admins need to know about this threat? Someone smarter than me, please weigh in! 😅

If you start looking at the people behind this excellent article, there's plenty of support for the #fediverse, although the article itself focuses on the #bluesky AT protocol.
Curious to hear from coauthor @elipariser why the fedi isn't part of the conversation. My understanding is that bluesky is significantly larger - is it simply name recognition?

How about no?
You're way overstepping with this, poisoning the entire ActivityPub ecosystem.
Let me break this down for you...
https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/
In short: if you really intend to federate, respect your users and their data.
Implementing federation while keeping these terms is a severe breach of trust, and would poison the entirety of the network in an way which will cripple ActivityPub, and undermine the very foundation of what AP stands for with regard to privacy, data ownership, and control over what we post to the network.
Hopefully that's not your intention. Is it?

If I look up my @jgxvx profile on pixelfed.social, the profile is found, but none of my images are found.
Conversely, if I view any @pixelfed.social profile here on the Mastodon UI, the profile is found, but no images are found. It just says "Some posts from this profile may be missing. See more posts on pixelfed.social"
I don't get it. Isn't the whole point of the Fediverse that everything can be viewed anywhere? And an image-centric client like Pixelfed basically does a SELECT FROM @user@instance WHERE PostType = Image? 😅
@mho@social.heise.de
You know, what the community on #Mastodon should do know?
In the past few days, many thousands of users started flocking to #Pixelfed. The main instance is growing fast and there is much activity, but compared to #Instagram (where they're coming from) it's still quiet. If you stumble upon a a nice picture from Pixelfed, share it to your followers here all over the #Fediverse. We can show, how big the audience is already.

thing is, since this is federation, anyone worried about that can keep their niche communities separate and never encounter "the normies"
and, like erin said, we want "the normies" here
otherwise they get mindwiped by plutocrat agendas on centralized #socialmedia
to do that we have to make the process of getting into the #fediverse dead simple

Dear #Fediverse, is there something #Pixelfed does which #Mastodon does not?
It seems like it's just a different UI + filtering out all ActivityPub posts that don't contain images?

#マストドン や #Bluesky では添付できる画像が４枚？だから、画像をたくさん添付したければ、#Instagram の方が良いだろうなと思っていたので、#Fediverse で画像をたくさん添付したければ、マストドンよりもPixelfedの方が良さそう。
ただ、Instagramでは20枚まで投稿できるようになっているとか…。そこまでのニーズがあるのかどうかは分からないが、Pixelfedを利用する理由として画像の添付枚数があるなと思った。
それで、マストドンでフォローした場合、タイムラインには４枚までしか表示されなくて、それ以外の添付画像は元の投稿を表示して確認するのかな？

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 99
A major news for governance this week on the open social web, with Mastodon shaking up their organisational structure and more.
Mastodon published plans for their new governance structure, with control of Mastodon moving to a new non-profit organisation, and moving ownership away from CEO Eugen Rochko. Mastodon will set up a new top-level non-profit organisation. This new organisation will become owner of various Mastodon related assets, including names and copyrights. These assets are currently still held by Eugen Rochko, and Mastodon says that this is not the intent of Mastodon. Rochko and the Mastodon organisation believe that “Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.”
Rochko has been a major driving force in growing Mastodon into the platform and product that it is today. While his singular ownership in his name of Mastodon does not fit with the current state of the platform, it is indicative of the outsized influence and impact his work has had over the years. In a thread, Rochko also explains his own perspective, writing about how Mastodon has become tightly integrated with his own identity. He also says that the last two years have taken a toll on him, both mentally and physically. Stepping away from a leadership position that has become so tightly integrated with a sense of self is an incredibly difficult thing to do, and Rochko deserves recognition for both his work, and knowing when to take a step back. Rochko will focus on his original passion of product strategy for Mastodon.
Even for the Mastodon organisation, there are still multiple unknowns, and the organisation is still in the process of figuring it all out. The short summary of what the organisation of Mastodon will look like: There will be a new top-level organisation for Mastodon. This will be a non-profit organisation that is based in Europe. Mastodon does not know yet which European country. The organisation will be led by a new CEO. The new CEO has already been picked, but Mastodon is waiting for a few final practical details before they will be announced. Under this top-level organisation will be 2 other organisations, the US-based Mastodon non-profit and the current Mastodon GmbH organisation. For the US-based Mastodon non-profit nothing will change, this organisation is mainly for fundraising purposes. The current Mastodon GmbH organisation has become a for-profit organisation due to unclear German bureaucracy. This organisation will involve itself with the daily operations, both of running the mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers as well as development of Mastodon software.
404 Media reported this week that Meta is blocking links to Pixelfed on their apps, after various fediverse users reported that links on Meta platforms to their Pixelfed account immediately got taken down as spam. Meta later admitted to Engadget that “removing the posts was a mistake and that they’d be reinstated.” Meta’s actions have been beneficial for Pixelfed, which has been at the centre of a news cycle. Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault said that the pixelfed.social was seeing “unprecedented levels of traffic“, and according to fedidb.org (also created by Supernault) monthly active users for Pixelfed jumped from 20k in December to 27k as of right now. Supernault also reports that pixelfed.social had 11k people joining in the last 24 hours, which also is validated by fedidb.org. I’m not clear on what the correct statistics are here, but a sudden jump in interest after all the media attention is clearly happening. Pixelfed also got the official apps finally out of testing and available in the Android Play Store and iOS App Store. The move has been announced and teased for a long time, and the app has been available in testing for a while.
Meta and Zuckerberg decided this week to go fully mask-off, making significant changes to their platforms and rules around hate speech. Most notably are the rules around hate speech, where Meta is now explicitly allowing hate speech against various minorities. The move sparked a wide backlash, and various Mastodon servers who previously federated with Threads decided to cut defederate from Threads. Notable examples include Hachyderm and mstdn.social. Other servers such as mastodon.social and indieweb.social condemned the move by Meta, but refrained from defederating from Threads.
In last week’s email introduction I wrote that I was unhappy with the state of governance of both the fediverse as well as the ATmosphere. This week’s news regarding Mastodon is a great step in the right direction. Mastodon has clear ambitions and values about decentralisation, and having a self-styled dictator-for-life who runs the software just does not fit at all with the stated values. The Mastodon Operations organisation now being a for-profit organisation is also interesting. While this happened outside of the control of Mastodon GmbH as a result of opaque Germany bureaucracy, I think it is potentially a good thing. Running a social media server with 250k monthly active users costs real money. Having servers be financially sustainable is an integral part of having fair and equitable social media platforms. So far, the fediverse has struggled making this happen on a donations model.
It is the next moves that are the real important ones: what form of governance will the non-profit holding organisation take? Will it allow for real community ownership, as implied by the title of the blog? Who will be the new CEO? What new sets of strategic priorities for Mastodon will be set? Many things are still up in the air, even for the people at Mastodon itself, and those aspects will be where we will see the most impactful changes. Still, this is a great step in the right direction.
I do find the contrast between the moves that Rochko has made and how Supernault approaches Pixelfed and Loops notable. Rochko has been aware of the downsides of his model of governance for Mastodon, and has made the necessary changes, while Supernault seems determined to go at it alone. Supernault has a wild number of projects on his plate: building the Pixelfed platform as well as mobile apps, as well as video platform Loops with it’s mobile apps, running the pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art server, running fedidb.org and more. It is incredibly impressive what Supernault has managed to build, all by himself in his spare time. Supernault has high ambitions, explicitly positioning his platforms as competitors to Instagram and TikTok. But as the looming TikTok ban in the US shows: one of the most important aspects of social media platforms these days is how they are governed, and by whom. Having a single developer governing the development of two different types of platforms, as well as their flagship servers, seems like a form of governance that is not particularly sustainable.
Rochko shared some more statistics about the connection between Threads and mastodon.social in a conversation on the Mastodon Discord, writing: “For some context, 81,745 people follow at least one Threads account from their mastodon.social account (and we are aware of 25,042 Threads account that federate), with some of the most followed accounts being MKBDH, Barack Obama, and Nilay Patel.” He also noted that only 811 Threads accounts follow at least one mastodon.social account. These statistics only represent mastodon.social, not the entire fediverse. But considering mastodon.social is by far the largest server and many other servers do not federate with Threads at all, it does provide a good indication of the actual usage of Threads. Hachyderm also shared some statistics on the connection between Threads and Hachyderm: “There were 2033 unique Hachyderm accounts following 919 unique Threads accounts and 26 unique Threads accounts following 22 unique Hachyderm accounts.”
Last month I wrote an article ‘Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?’, going through the various reasons for Meta to add federation to Threads. I did not have a clear single answer to that question. The data above provides at least an indication that users are also not clear on why Threads should have fediverse interoperability. It turns out that in practice, marginally few people are interested in the two-way connection between Threads and the rest of the fediverse.
In conversations last week regarding whether or not servers should defederate from Threads, one argument that got brought up repeatedly that connecting with Threads allows people to migrate away from Threads to Mastodon, while still keeping connections with people on Threads. Seeing the statistics on how few people actually use the Threads fediverse connections this argument rings hollow to me.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

That #Pixelfed is now in the Top 10 of most downloaded APPs in the USA, also means that we, as a Fediverse community, have to come together.
If you see a link somewhere, PLEASE support your PIXELFED server. Even when it is just with $2, $10 or $50.
Their operational costs are surely skyrocketing and we have to make sure that this does not become a Fediverse debacle but a Fediverse success story.

I've never got into instagram (although I did create an account years ago). Didn't really like anything about it, even more so once Facebook acquired it.
But @pixelfed is something I can get on board with and I'm going to give it a shout for something because I believe in it and want to encourage others to do so. Leading by example is the way we can win people across to the #Fediverse #pixelfed

You know, what the community on #Mastodon should do know?
In the past few days, many thousands of users started flocking to #Pixelfed. The main instance is growing fast and there is much activity, but compared to #Instagram (where they're coming from) it's still quiet. If you stumble upon a a nice picture from Pixelfed, share it to your followers here all over the #Fediverse. We can show, how big the audience is already.

For example —
If the "username" is part of it, then there is a straightforward unique ID for this user as an acct-URL:
acct:joeblow@example·com
But there are many ways an HTTP-URL as an ID gets represented. Ex:
• http;//example·com/users/joeblow
• http;//example·com/user/joeblow
• http;//example·com/api/users/joeblow
• http;//example·com/api/user/joeblow
• http;//example·com/~joeblow
• etc

If ActivityPub and ActivityStreams used acct-URI rather than HTTP-URL to identify users, then there would less problems with switching between different Fediverse software.
(Different Fediverse software represent users with different style HTTP-URLs — which creates the problem.)

Tokodon supports services that implement the Mastodon Client API. This includes most popular Fediverse software, such as:
Mastodon (and its forks)
Misskey (and its forks)
Pixelfed
GoToSocial
Pleroma and Akkoma
Other services may work in Tokodon, although keep in mind it's not possible to support every extra feature.
Available on Android, Linux packages, Flathub, and Snap. Developed and hosted by the good folks over at KDE Plasma.

I can't even seem to do an export of my statuses because I think it hits the same API endpoint and HTTP errors (I can export other stuff okay). Not sure what to do -- could try to re-create it on another #pixelfed instance with a shorter path to the admins? Curious if anyone else is experiencing this (but hard to tell cause there are various weirdnesses due to the number of people joining up). Any #fediverse experts have any ideas?

I'm actually kind of frustrated.
Once more we see a #socialmedia exodus and not a single one of the fun content creators I love from say #Instagram make their way over to #Mastodon, #Pixelfeed or #Loops. Why?
BECAUSE NO DIRECT #MONETIZATION!
Do you understand what weeks or months of labor looks like? If no #ad revenue, if no #superchat, if no #donate button, then why even make the effort?!
The #fediverse needs to grow up and carve out direct paths to monetization.

Here's some other stuff I like... #apple #sports #travel #battlestations #food #starwars #lotr #pokemon #gaming #space #fitness #nba #basketball #hiking #camping #music #coding #programming #cybersecurity
So what's going on with this instance? Is this my "main" presence or am I still on shellsharks.social? Fair question. The answer is, yes! This is a #GoToSocial instance, on a new fun, shiny, vanity domain. If it works out, I might end up moving all my activity over here and shutting down the Mastodon instance I have at shellsharks.social. Until then, I'm operating out of both spaces. This also means that for now, I haven't migrated my followers (or followed accounts) over here, so don't be offended if I haven't followed you back yet! I don't want to knock this fairly low-spec'ed instance over so I'm taking it slow with how I am using it.
Why am I doing this? Well for one main reason really, I wanted an instance where I could post more than 500 characters at a time. GtS gives me that, and much more. Bonus points for A. being less resource intensive than Mastodon (so cheaper to run), B. more customizable and C. I could get an even more ridiculous vanity domain.
So don't be surprised to see a lot more from this account than my usual @shellsharks account. If you'd like, you can follow me here for now. No worries either way.

@serge@babka.social
One area of Mastodon safety that doesn't get much attention is the way that the reporting interface is abused.
When a report is forwarded to another server, it doesn't say what user created the report.
That allows hateful accounts to report people as a means of harassment, as in our case, Babka Social has users reported simply for being Jews.
The reports are blank, or else contain an either false or inflammatory statement about the user.
The users don't see it, but the admins and moderators do, and there's nothing we can do other than disable reporting from an instance- which we don't want to do because we want to ensure our users *are* good Fediverse citizens and we want reports when they're not.
This causes emotional strain on moderators and yet I've never heard anyone talk about this issue in a serious way.

At least leaving these corporate sites is getting easier as my expectations are consistently lowered.
@dploeger@mastodon.social
Mal ehrlich. Dieses "Man muss ja vorher Server wählen!!1!11!" der Personen, die deshalb das #Fediverse meiden ist doch vorgeschoben, oder? Die haben doch bestimmt alle auch eine E-Mail-Adresse.
Wenn ihr nicht herkommen wollt, ist das ja okay, aber seid doch bitte ehrlich.

Social media is becoming the great social filter.
1. Ignorant, immoral douchebags populate #X
2. Ignorant, but well intentioned people populate #Bluesky
and
3. Well informed and morally upright people populate the #Mastodon and the #fediverse.
And with that, I'll say this ...
You, my friends, are awesome. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the #Fediword

Has anyone built a #Fediverse alternative to Dribbble yet? 🤔
In a daydream, I imagined a sort of (opt-in) aggregator called “Puccck” which collects posts with at least one image and some specific hashtags in a neatly designed UI that replicates some of Dribbble’s features around finding design inspiration. 😅

@serge@babka.social
One area of Mastodon safety that doesn't get much attention is the way that the reporting interface is abused.
When a report is forwarded to another server, it doesn't say what user created the report.
That allows hateful accounts to report people as a means of harassment, as in our case, Babka Social has users reported simply for being Jews.
The reports are blank, or else contain an either false or inflammatory statement about the user.
The users don't see it, but the admins and moderators do, and there's nothing we can do other than disable reporting from an instance- which we don't want to do because we want to ensure our users *are* good Fediverse citizens and we want reports when they're not.
This causes emotional strain on moderators and yet I've never heard anyone talk about this issue in a serious way.

#FreeourFeeds is just #FeedOurPockets
It's a SCAM to allow the vulture capitalist cryptobros who factually own #bluesky to expand it, without having to spend their own money.
The expansion funded by the scam campaign will still be a centralized, corporate-owned, proprietary/NOT FOSS, walled-garden #DTBO socmedia platform, which owns your accounts, your data and WILL sell it, along with "tier" subscriptions so you can have the rented *privilege* of remaining there, and using its features.
Consider, instead, donating to your #fediverse instance. The returns are much better; a truly FREE FEED, NOT CORPORATE OWNED, #FOSS, TRULY DE-CENTRALIZED, PEOPLE OPERATED AND OWNED communities of the Fediverse.
No, it does NOT matter that some people who wrote a couple good books or said things you agree with supports them. That will be a bloody nose on them, and here is hoping that eventually they will realize the scam, or will be exposed as a wanton part of it.

#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram.
Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?"
Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 99
A major news for governance this week on the open social web, with Mastodon shaking up their organisational structure and more.
Mastodon published plans for their new governance structure, with control of Mastodon moving to a new non-profit organisation, and moving ownership away from CEO Eugen Rochko. Mastodon will set up a new top-level non-profit organisation. This new organisation will become owner of various Mastodon related assets, including names and copyrights. These assets are currently still held by Eugen Rochko, and Mastodon says that this is not the intent of Mastodon. Rochko and the Mastodon organisation believe that “Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.”
Rochko has been a major driving force in growing Mastodon into the platform and product that it is today. While his singular ownership in his name of Mastodon does not fit with the current state of the platform, it is indicative of the outsized influence and impact his work has had over the years. In a thread, Rochko also explains his own perspective, writing about how Mastodon has become tightly integrated with his own identity. He also says that the last two years have taken a toll on him, both mentally and physically. Stepping away from a leadership position that has become so tightly integrated with a sense of self is an incredibly difficult thing to do, and Rochko deserves recognition for both his work, and knowing when to take a step back. Rochko will focus on his original passion of product strategy for Mastodon.
Even for the Mastodon organisation, there are still multiple unknowns, and the organisation is still in the process of figuring it all out. The short summary of what the organisation of Mastodon will look like: There will be a new top-level organisation for Mastodon. This will be a non-profit organisation that is based in Europe. Mastodon does not know yet which European country. The organisation will be led by a new CEO. The new CEO has already been picked, but Mastodon is waiting for a few final practical details before they will be announced. Under this top-level organisation will be 2 other organisations, the US-based Mastodon non-profit and the current Mastodon GmbH organisation. For the US-based Mastodon non-profit nothing will change, this organisation is mainly for fundraising purposes. The current Mastodon GmbH organisation has become a for-profit organisation due to unclear German bureaucracy. This organisation will involve itself with the daily operations, both of running the mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers as well as development of Mastodon software.
404 Media reported this week that Meta is blocking links to Pixelfed on their apps, after various fediverse users reported that links on Meta platforms to their Pixelfed account immediately got taken down as spam. Meta later admitted to Engadget that “removing the posts was a mistake and that they’d be reinstated.” Meta’s actions have been beneficial for Pixelfed, which has been at the centre of a news cycle. Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault said that the pixelfed.social was seeing “unprecedented levels of traffic“, and according to fedidb.org (also created by Supernault) monthly active users for Pixelfed jumped from 20k in December to 27k as of right now. Supernault also reports that pixelfed.social had 11k people joining in the last 24 hours, which also is validated by fedidb.org. I’m not clear on what the correct statistics are here, but a sudden jump in interest after all the media attention is clearly happening. Pixelfed also got the official apps finally out of testing and available in the Android Play Store and iOS App Store. The move has been announced and teased for a long time, and the app has been available in testing for a while.
Meta and Zuckerberg decided this week to go fully mask-off, making significant changes to their platforms and rules around hate speech. Most notably are the rules around hate speech, where Meta is now explicitly allowing hate speech against various minorities. The move sparked a wide backlash, and various Mastodon servers who previously federated with Threads decided to cut defederate from Threads. Notable examples include Hachyderm and mstdn.social. Other servers such as mastodon.social and indieweb.social condemned the move by Meta, but refrained from defederating from Threads.
In last week’s email introduction I wrote that I was unhappy with the state of governance of both the fediverse as well as the ATmosphere. This week’s news regarding Mastodon is a great step in the right direction. Mastodon has clear ambitions and values about decentralisation, and having a self-styled dictator-for-life who runs the software just does not fit at all with the stated values. The Mastodon Operations organisation now being a for-profit organisation is also interesting. While this happened outside of the control of Mastodon GmbH as a result of opaque Germany bureaucracy, I think it is potentially a good thing. Running a social media server with 250k monthly active users costs real money. Having servers be financially sustainable is an integral part of having fair and equitable social media platforms. So far, the fediverse has struggled making this happen on a donations model.
It is the next moves that are the real important ones: what form of governance will the non-profit holding organisation take? Will it allow for real community ownership, as implied by the title of the blog? Who will be the new CEO? What new sets of strategic priorities for Mastodon will be set? Many things are still up in the air, even for the people at Mastodon itself, and those aspects will be where we will see the most impactful changes. Still, this is a great step in the right direction.
I do find the contrast between the moves that Rochko has made and how Supernault approaches Pixelfed and Loops notable. Rochko has been aware of the downsides of his model of governance for Mastodon, and has made the necessary changes, while Supernault seems determined to go at it alone. Supernault has a wild number of projects on his plate: building the Pixelfed platform as well as mobile apps, as well as video platform Loops with it’s mobile apps, running the pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art server, running fedidb.org and more. It is incredibly impressive what Supernault has managed to build, all by himself in his spare time. Supernault has high ambitions, explicitly positioning his platforms as competitors to Instagram and TikTok. But as the looming TikTok ban in the US shows: one of the most important aspects of social media platforms these days is how they are governed, and by whom. Having a single developer governing the development of two different types of platforms, as well as their flagship servers, seems like a form of governance that is not particularly sustainable.
Rochko shared some more statistics about the connection between Threads and mastodon.social in a conversation on the Mastodon Discord, writing: “For some context, 81,745 people follow at least one Threads account from their mastodon.social account (and we are aware of 25,042 Threads account that federate), with some of the most followed accounts being MKBDH, Barack Obama, and Nilay Patel.” He also noted that only 811 Threads accounts follow at least one mastodon.social account. These statistics only represent mastodon.social, not the entire fediverse. But considering mastodon.social is by far the largest server and many other servers do not federate with Threads at all, it does provide a good indication of the actual usage of Threads. Hachyderm also shared some statistics on the connection between Threads and Hachyderm: “There were 2033 unique Hachyderm accounts following 919 unique Threads accounts and 26 unique Threads accounts following 22 unique Hachyderm accounts.”
Last month I wrote an article ‘Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?’, going through the various reasons for Meta to add federation to Threads. I did not have a clear single answer to that question. The data above provides at least an indication that users are also not clear on why Threads should have fediverse interoperability. It turns out that in practice, marginally few people are interested in the two-way connection between Threads and the rest of the fediverse.
In conversations last week regarding whether or not servers should defederate from Threads, one argument that got brought up repeatedly that connecting with Threads allows people to migrate away from Threads to Mastodon, while still keeping connections with people on Threads. Seeing the statistics on how few people actually use the Threads fediverse connections this argument rings hollow to me.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

2〜3 年前まだ #X が #Twitterで、#Threads も始まってなかったころに比べて、
アメリカはまもなくトランプで、イーロンとザッカーバーグがメッタメタのマガマガしい今となっては、
#Fediverse と #OpenSocialWeb の重要度って、次元が違うと言ってもいいくらい高まってきていると思う
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe
I've had a #Pixelfed account for some time, but I admittedly didn't do much with it.
But now that it is getting some positive buzz as an alternative to #Instagram and the scummy new policies of Meta, I decided to install the new app and do more with it.
Remember, the #Fediverse is more than just #Mastodon - and we can help it grow by celebrating its diversity!

➡️ BotKit enables the creation of standalone ActivityPub bots, free from platform constraints.
➡️ It is user-friendly and written in TypeScript, ensuring type safety.
➡️ BotKit is easy to deploy with minimal dependencies on various virtual servers.
➡️ Powered by #Fedify, a robust #ActivityPub framework.

This organisation will involve itself with the daily operations, both of running the mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers as well as development of Mastodon software.
404 Media reported this week that Meta is blocking links to Pixelfed on their apps, after various fediverse users reported that links on Meta platforms to their Pixelfed account immediately got taken down as spam. Meta later admitted to Engadget that “removing the posts was a mistake and that they’d be reinstated.” Meta’s actions have been beneficial for Pixelfed, which has been at the centre of a news cycle. Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault said that the pixelfed.social was seeing “unprecedented levels of traffic“, and according to fedidb.org (also created by Supernault) monthly active users for Pixelfed jumped from 20k in December to 27k as of right now. Supernault also reports that pixelfed.social had 11k people joining in the last 24 hours, which also is validated by fedidb.org. I’m not clear on what the correct statistics are here, but a sudden jump in interest after all the media attention is clearly happening. Pixelfed also got the official apps finally out of testing and available in the Android Play Store and iOS App Store. The move has been announced and teased for a long time, and the app has been available in testing for a while.
Meta and Zuckerberg decided this week to go fully mask-off, making significant changes to their platforms and rules around hate speech. Most notably are the rules around hate speech, where Meta is now explicitly allowing hate speech against various minorities. The move sparked a wide backlash, and various Mastodon servers who previously federated with Threads decided to cut defederate from Threads. Notable examples include Hachyderm and mstdn.social. Other servers such as mastodon.social and indieweb.social condemned the move by Meta, but refrained from defederating from Threads.
In last week’s email introduction I wrote that I was unhappy with the state of governance of both the fediverse as well as the ATmosphere. This week’s news regarding Mastodon is a great step in the right direction. Mastodon has clear ambitions and values about decentralisation, and having a self-styled dictator-for-life who runs the software just does not fit at all with the stated values. The Mastodon Operations organisation now being a for-profit organisation is also interesting. While this happened outside of the control of Mastodon GmbH as a result of opaque Germany bureaucracy, I think it is potentially a good thing. Running a social media server with 250k monthly active users costs real money. Having servers be financially sustainable is an integral part of having fair and equitable social media platforms. So far, the fediverse has struggled making this happen on a donations model.
It is the next moves that are the real important ones: what form of governance will the non-profit holding organisation take? Will it allow for real community ownership, as implied by the title of the blog? Who will be the new CEO? What new sets of strategic priorities for Mastodon will be set? Many things are still up in the air, even for the people at Mastodon itself, and those aspects will be where we will see the most impactful changes. Still, this is a great step in the right direction.
I do find the contrast between the moves that Rochko has made and how Supernault approaches Pixelfed and Loops notable. Rochko has been aware of the downsides of his model of governance for Mastodon, and has made the necessary changes, while Supernault seems determined to go at it alone. Supernault has a wild number of projects on his plate: building the Pixelfed platform as well as mobile apps, as well as video platform Loops with it’s mobile apps, running the pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art server, running fedidb.org and more. It is incredibly impressive what Supernault has managed to build, all by himself in his spare time. Supernault has high ambitions, explicitly positioning his platforms as competitors to Instagram and TikTok. But as the looming TikTok ban in the US shows: one of the most important aspects of social media platforms these days is how they are governed, and by whom. Having a single developer governing the development of two different types of platforms, as well as their flagship servers, seems like a form of governance that is not particularly sustainable.
Rochko shared some more statistics about the connection between Threads and mastodon.social in a conversation on the Mastodon Discord, writing: “For some context, 81,745 people follow at least one Threads account from their mastodon.social account (and we are aware of 25,042 Threads account that federate), with some of the most followed accounts being MKBDH, Barack Obama, and Nilay Patel.” He also noted that only 811 Threads accounts follow at least one mastodon.social account. These statistics only represent mastodon.social, not the entire fediverse. But considering mastodon.social is by far the largest server and many other servers do not federate with Threads at all, it does provide a good indication of the actual usage of Threads. Hachyderm also shared some statistics on the connection between Threads and Hachyderm: “There were 2033 unique Hachyderm accounts following 919 unique Threads accounts and 26 unique Threads accounts following 22 unique Hachyderm accounts.”
Last month I wrote an article ‘Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?’, going through the various reasons for Meta to add federation to Threads. I did not have a clear single answer to that question. The data above provides at least an indication that users are also not clear on why Threads should have fediverse interoperability. It turns out that in practice, marginally few people are interested in the two-way connection between Threads and the rest of the fediverse.
In conversations last week regarding whether or not servers should defederate from Threads, one argument that got brought up repeatedly that connecting with Threads allows people to migrate away from Threads to Mastodon, while still keeping connections with people on Threads. Seeing the statistics on how few people actually use the Threads fediverse connections this argument rings hollow to me.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Other types of labels can exist — image labels of different types, virtual object labels, space-time labels, etc.
And labels can have different use-case (in addition to human-readable text) — more on that later.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 99
A major news for governance this week on the open social web, with Mastodon shaking up their organisational structure and more.
Mastodon published plans for their new governance structure, with control of Mastodon moving to a new non-profit organisation, and moving ownership away from CEO Eugen Rochko. Mastodon will set up a new top-level non-profit organisation. This new organisation will become owner of various Mastodon related assets, including names and copyrights. These assets are currently still held by Eugen Rochko, and Mastodon says that this is not the intent of Mastodon. Rochko and the Mastodon organisation believe that “Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.”
Rochko has been a major driving force in growing Mastodon into the platform and product that it is today. While his singular ownership in his name of Mastodon does not fit with the current state of the platform, it is indicative of the outsized influence and impact his work has had over the years. In a thread, Rochko also explains his own perspective, writing about how Mastodon has become tightly integrated with his own identity. He also says that the last two years have taken a toll on him, both mentally and physically. Stepping away from a leadership position that has become so tightly integrated with a sense of self is an incredibly difficult thing to do, and Rochko deserves recognition for both his work, and knowing when to take a step back. Rochko will focus on his original passion of product strategy for Mastodon.
Even for the Mastodon organisation, there are still multiple unknowns, and the organisation is still in the process of figuring it all out. The short summary of what the organisation of Mastodon will look like: There will be a new top-level organisation for Mastodon. This will be a non-profit organisation that is based in Europe. Mastodon does not know yet which European country. The organisation will be led by a new CEO. The new CEO has already been picked, but Mastodon is waiting for a few final practical details before they will be announced. Under this top-level organisation will be 2 other organisations, the US-based Mastodon non-profit and the current Mastodon GmbH organisation. For the US-based Mastodon non-profit nothing will change, this organisation is mainly for fundraising purposes. The current Mastodon GmbH organisation has become a for-profit organisation due to unclear German bureaucracy. This organisation will involve itself with the daily operations, both of running the mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers as well as development of Mastodon software.
404 Media reported this week that Meta is blocking links to Pixelfed on their apps, after various fediverse users reported that links on Meta platforms to their Pixelfed account immediately got taken down as spam.

I can search for users, see profiles and follow them, but it looks as if their following / follows are 0 and that they have never posted. Plus my own follow count remains at 0 and my timeline empty.

Have you ever wondered if there’s a #Fediverse alternative to platforms like #GoogleScholar or even publishers and hosts like Academia.edu? I believe the academic world is overdue for a revolution, which necessarily requires a move toward #decentralization and #openaccess to knowledge. Imagine a search/indexing engine that’s not just a tool for finding research but part of an entire ecosystem that replaces profit-driven publishers and centralized repositories.

Das ist eben der Unterschied zwischen digitaler Souveränität und einer Abhängigkeit von z.B. #BlueSky.
Eine #Fediverse-Instanz kann man bei Bedarf auch hosten lassen.
Zur Zeit ist #BlueSky mehr oder weniger genauso zentral wie bekannte andere Plattformen... mit den bekannten Abhängigkeiten und fehlender Souveränität.
Und meine Vermutung: Das wird sich auch nicht wirklich ändern.

Good morning Fedi friends!
All eyes are on #Pixelfed this week, as #Meta censored all mentions and links to it.
Last year I wrote about the superb interoperability between Pixelfed and #Mastodon - it was one of my first articles for #TheFutureIsFederated, which inspired me to try out more #Fediverse projects.

Because we are building better solutions here and elsewhere in the #Fediverse and a lot of that work is done outside of the US and, by definition, cannot be concentrated at one single country anyway. Advantage of decentralisation and Open Source :)

The #fediverse has a problem, and I’m going to be very unhelpful in not having an idea how to fix it.
Once an instance gets popular, it’s processing, storage and traffic costs get prohibitive for the people running it.
I regularly see reports of #mastodon instances shutting down because the admins can no longer afford the hosting costs. This will only be worse when #pixelfed and #loops spin up.

@aliceif@mkultra.x27.one I only stated facts, not opinions.
Fact is, they are deleting post. Period.
Fact is, they have been using the same account this whole time, until now. Period.
Fact is, "new" management is as toxic as old management. The trolling, Doxing, and false anti-LGBTQ+ statements came from the so-called "new" management.
I have no reason to lie or embellish. Sharkey is bad enough without anyone adding to their nonsense.

More on Fediverse Labelers —
Here is how text-labels from multiple Fediverse Labelers could appear in an application on a person's profile.
...
In this example, the application pulled in 7 labels from 4 different Fediverse Labelers.

これは面白い動きだな、Blueskyとは別にAT Protoベースのサービスを運営する本格的なやつが出てきそうだ（個人レベルとかでやっている人はいる）。リレーは独自に運営すると言っているな。AppViewはどうするんだろう？今のbsky.socialのPDSにも接続するのかな？
そしてActivityPubとの接続についても先日発足したSocial Web Foundationと協力してサポートしていくと言っているな。

@Linux_Is_Best@misskey.de
On while the topic of Sharkey, for a development that has nothing to hide, they're doing a lot to hide sh-t.
1st, they recently changed account in the past 24 hours. I suspect because people kept finding post and references they hadn't yet deleted (I still have some links, read on)
Old Account: https://shonk.social/@Sharkey
New Account: https://eepy.moe/@sharkey@sharkey.team
This is the post showing the server they finally got https://shonk.social/notes/9qsw4nie0j3b00aj
They seem to have removed the post thanking everyone and detailing how many people contributed. They have also removed the post asking for more money, so they could form an LLC (not a non-profit, but a business). And they removed the post, where they attempt to troll me in public.
They may be deleting some things via the database, because a few of their old post, remove details and replace it with "nulled" (see screen). I'm guessing someone performed a SQL search and replace.
But I did something no one expected. I made every post I ever made from May 30, 2023, through December 21, 2024, publically downloadable into the public domain, including my interactions with Sharkey. https://kitty.social/notes/a21e0nsgbe9z2mj8

@dansup @mastodonmigration it is to their advantage to block any links to #PixelFed #Mastodon or really anything on the #Fediverse
I am very surprised they opened #Threads to #TheFediverse

Looking for a new server. Any recommendations?
There are a few reasons for the transition, one of them being that graphics.social is federated with Threads.net. I have the domain blocked for the time being, but I feel like one last move to a community that aligns more with my values is the right choice.

Okay, any recommendations of good instances on the #fediverse? I'm okay trying different systems; I did like Sharkey but it was missing stuff (account alerts for example) that I use.
I'm a bit like, spicy sometimes, I post CWed NSFW, I mostly talk games and life and biting ppl who annoy me. I am secretly not terrible at tech stuffs.
No fashy, no terrible ppl, transparent admins. Heavy handed is a no thanks.

Hat irgendwer auf dieser Welt schon mal einen #Friendica #Server unter #Yunohost zum Laufen gebracht? Die Installation ist bei mir einwandfrei durchgelaufen, aber ich kann mich nicht mit meinem Administrator Account anmelden. Das scheint wohl ein sehr verbreitetes Problem zu sein, aber eine Lösung habe ich nicht gefunden. So klappt das nicht mit dem #Fediverse 😭
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
Assholes in this world have made me very cynical.
I feel that every time I login to Fedi these days, there's yet another scheme to get people to dump money into a project for "the growth of the Fediverse" yet we have yet to see any results and the things they're doing seem shady as fuck to me. Yet people keep parading around like it's the best thing ever.
SWF forms and is funded by major companies like Meta and Auttomatic. Not sure how that could be a good thing. That means SWF will be financially influenced by these companies and there's nothing anybody can do to change that.
Now, Mastodon is being given to a new non-profit. They say this is to "give the power back to the people" but obviously giving ownership to a non-profit doesn't do that...it gives ownership to the non-profit and allows them to hide your donations via shady legalities to enrich themselves.
Money hungry fucks ruin everything. Change my mind.

I saw this about Free Our Feeds today. I'm genuinely surprised they decided to go down the AT protocol route when the Fediverse seems like a much better & battle tested protocol. Seems to tick all of their boxes, including app development by third parties. Why are people so afraid of the Fediverse as an alternative? #fediverse #atprotocol #freeourfeeds https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/13/24342799/free-our-feeds-social-media-ecosystem-at-protocol-bluesky

Note that even in this example, that there are different types of labels!
I have some examples of text labels.
But I also have some examples of Icon labels.

The "describes" field would point to the thing being labelled.
The "attributedTo" field would point to the person or machine that create these label.
And the "attachment" field would be a list of labels.
The (top level) "icon" field would be an icon that would be shown next to the label in the user-interface (UI).

A Fediverse Labeler would output a separate ActivityStreams "Profile" Object for each thing it wants to label.
Each of these should be at a separate URL.

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu #Threads, und ziehen jetzt wegen #Zuckerberg weiter zu #Bluesky. Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.
Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?
Und tut es wirklich so weh, einfach mal auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte (#fediverse) zu stehen? 🤷🏻♂️

I'm kind of obsessed with the #fediverse
I've been working on @pixelfed almost every day since April 2018
I've learned a lot, and am still as dedicated to, and excited for the fediverse as I was when I first started Pixelfed
I know I've made some mistakes along the way, but y'all have been quick to point em out and help me grow and fix issues accordingly
This really is a labour of love, for the people.
Y'all keep me energized with your feedback and positive vibes. I really appreciate it. ❤️

The plan is for me to be using Mastodon for my random weird gibbering and meeting new people to gibber to. Then Pixelfed for posting my random weird artwork, graphic designs, and comic book things.

Even, in my case, people with a background in experimental art and political activism. I'm currently involved in endless online discussions about Mastodon vs. Bluesky, and people just don't understand what it's about and why one is preferable to the other.
The language of "instances" and "decentralisation" completely confuses them (and it would be much more helpful to use more understandable, jargon-free language such as "globally interconnected community servers").
Everyone thinks that in Mastodon/the Fediverse/a decentralised network you can only communicate and connect with people on your own instance, and doesn't understand that you can also post, read and connect globally across instances.
I am afraid that after 25 years the cultural hegemony of internet platforms is irreversible. Mastodon confuses people because it looks like a platform.
@matlfb@mastodon.design
im absolutely convinced that creating a googleplus alternative in the fediverse would have an insane potential. I would totally love to design and iterate on it, I would just need frontend & backend devs 🙌
if you wanna talk abt that, please reply to this post or email me at contact@matlfb.com
boost appreciated 🚀

All of them comply with the Mastodon Covenant PLUS they all defederate Threads and they are smaller than 50k registered users (vast majority are far smaller than that). Also, they aren't just Mastodon servers.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 98
Welcome back to Fediverse Report! I’ve had a great holiday break spending time with family and friends, and that has given me some more time to think about why I care about the fediverse, the open social web and why I spend all this time writing Fediverse Report. Explaining to family members what I do was helpful to make this clear: telling an uncle that I write about decentralised technology mainly leads to confusion. But even extremely offline family members easily understand and agree with the idea that having all of our big social platforms being owned by billionaires leads to significant social problems.
As such, it has helped for me to make it more explicit that I care about decentralisation insofar it is a tool to get somewhere else: I care about better forms of governance and ownership of the social web. I want a social web where people are in control, not a few billionaires (nor nationstate governments, for that matter). Building social networks with decentralised technology is a way to get there.
The idea that the value of alternative social networks is in governance is far from new. I’ve regularly posted hot takes on my Mastodon to the same effect as well. But for 2025 I want to bring this more into focus for this newsletter. Writing a newsletter that is a weekly update tends to amplify shiny new software that has recently been released. In contrast, explaining how governance works on the fediverse does not align well with ‘this happened in the last 7 days’, as it involves more structural and slower moving forces. I’m experimenting with ways to bring coverage of governance in the fediverse better into focus. Expect more like this newsletter, where I zoom in on an offhanded comment by Misskey developer Syuilo as an illustration of the issues that come with interoperability between different places on the open social web.
Mastodon has belatedly published their Annual Report for 2023. The organisation acknowledges the delay, and says that the Annual Report for 2024 is planned to be released in Q1 of this year. Mastodon had a total of 545k euro in donations in 2023, with 476k in costs. The large majority of costs go to personnel expenses, in total 343k was spend on salaries, 72% of the total budget. The popularity of Mastodon’s own servers also come with significant costs, in 2023 they spend 75k on servers and hosting. With a rough estimate of averaging around 250k active users on mastodon.social, this means mastodon.social costs roughly 30 cents per active user per year. The Annual Report also looks at the updates Mastodon has made to the site and apps. Mastodon also shares more about their hiring process, and in a great move for transparency, also published all the salaries of everyone in the organisation.
Back in the present, Mastodon is hiring again, this time for a senior front-end developer. The organisation also held a crowd-funding campaign in late last year to fund and hire a Trust and Safety lead. The community seemed to have had little appetite for funding such an endeavour, with funding barely pushing past the 12k after a month. It is an indication of the difficult spot the organisation is in; the community has been asking for more safety features in Mastodon, but is not funding a Trust and Safety Lead. The organisation could clearly use someone who writes clear policy and design goals for the direction the software should go in. Currently, not even a Mastodon employee can explain why a safety feature for Mastodon that is fully developed and waiting to be approved has been waiting for approval for over 2.5 years. It turns out that writing the code is often the easy part of making changes in the fediverse, and navigating the social structures to get the code used by people is much harder, and a dedicated Trust and Safety Lead could have certainly helped here. Instead, even after large community outcry we still do not know why Mastodon has not merged this safety feature developed by their own employee.
Surf is a new app by Flipboard for the open social web. It is a beautifully designed app that allows people to build their own custom feeds. The power of Surf is in that it supports many networks, and you can combine posts from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube and Flipboard all into a single custom feed. How Flipboard markets Surf is interesting, describing it as a ‘browser for the social web’. The way Flipboard CEO Mike McCue sees it, Surf pulls in content from the social web, and gives you the possibility to display that content in custom feeds of your choice. Surf also allows you to filter a custom feed by content: for example, you can scroll through an entire feed, or switch over to a different tab that shows only videos in that feed, for example.
For more info on Surf, WeDistribute has a closer look at all the features, and The Verge has more context and comments by McCue. Custom feeds on Bluesky have mainly gone in the direction of the power user and community builder: tools like Graze offer an huge potential in programmability and flexibility. This is especially useful for those who want to build custom feeds that other people will also use. Surf takes a different approach, by instead prompting people to build their own feeds as much as possible. It’ll be interesting to see which approach will gain traction, and if there is space for both ways of building custom feeds.
Misskey developer Syuilo made some comments contemplating breaking federation with Mastodon. Misskey is mainly used in Japan, and has a wide feature set that differs notably from Mastodon. The main reason that Syuilo gave is that she feels Misskey development is constrained by having to meet the needs and requirements of maintaining federation with other (types) of software. That Misskey is considering letting federation between Mastodon and Misskey break is an indication of one of the downsides of how ActivityPub is designed: You can send out anything you want with ActivityPub, but it is exceedingly difficult to know how other software will actually receive and display the things you send out with ActivityPub. There is a significant freedom for fediverse software in how they implement and support even more basic functions. For example, see this comparison table for how the different platforms support hashtags, and how many variations there are.
Personally, I think it would be healthy for the fediverse as a whole if more fediverse software would start publishing what they deem as necessary for other software to federate with them. The fediverse mainly currently works on the assumption that any form of federation between projects is fine, even if that means that another federated platform will stripping out all markup and images of a post. It might be healthy for a platform to state minimum functional requirements, such as ‘we only want to federate with software that also shows the emoji reactions as we view this to be an integral part of a message’. For now, Syuilo’s post mainly seems to be to vent some frustrations, so it remains to be seen where any of this will actually go.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Right, it is time to move away from Facebook.
I need some advice on how to get on to friendica (or a different alternative).

Can I migrate content, contacts or images from other social media sites to friendica?
Don't just want to register without understanding the basic setup first.
Any recommendations? Suggestions? Links?

@zkat interesting. IMO once the instances are widely federated, anything one posts into the fediverse, it's out there propagating all over the place, and the OP has no control over what's going to happen to that post, does it get into a search database? Meta's AI tools?
The best we can is be mindful of that before hitting the Post button, on the globally federated instances.
For private and safe spaces one probably nees to limit federation to pre-approved instances.

Counter recommendation:
If you are thinking of deleting your #Facebook / #Threads account over the recent #Moderation policy changes around #HateSpeech and other #misinformation, consider instead posting a few messages telling people to follow you on Fedi, using your account as a way to call out the policies that are making you leave and bring people here. Post some links to JoinMastodon.org and turn your account into an ad for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon and #Friendica.
Don't just walk away, take some other users with you, make yourself a nuisance they have to ban to get rid of. See if they are even up to the task.

Dear god people, look at what Meta is now saying:
"We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation"
...look at it. This is 1930s stuff 😞
If you haven't defederated Meta/Threads yet, now is absolutely the perfect time to do so.
@ajsadauskas@vivaldi.net
The past few days, I've been toying with the idea of setting up a single-user Mastodon instance.
I'm currently looking at Masto.host as a hosting provider. The prices seem reasonable?
First, for those who have rolled their own instance: How has the experience been? Any advice you'd share with a self-hosting newbie? Any pitfalls or downsides?
Have you gone with a specialist managed prover like Masto.host?
Are there any major advantages or disadvantages over a vanilla cPanel web hosting provider that supports Mastodon?
Another option I'm toying with is using a single instance of Friendica as my Fedi home, and consolidating everything there, including photos.
Are there any managed hosting providers that support Friendica?

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 98
Welcome back to Fediverse Report! I’ve had a great holiday break spending time with family and friends, and that has given me some more time to think about why I care about the fediverse, the open social web and why I spend all this time writing Fediverse Report. Explaining to family members what I do was helpful to make this clear: telling an uncle that I write about decentralised technology mainly leads to confusion. But even extremely offline family members easily understand and agree with the idea that having all of our big social platforms being owned by billionaires leads to significant social problems.
As such, it has helped for me to make it more explicit that I care about decentralisation insofar it is a tool to get somewhere else: I care about better forms of governance and ownership of the social web. I want a social web where people are in control, not a few billionaires (nor nationstate governments, for that matter). Building social networks with decentralised technology is a way to get there.
The idea that the value of alternative social networks is in governance is far from new. I’ve regularly posted hot takes on my Mastodon to the same effect as well. But for 2025 I want to bring this more into focus for this newsletter. Writing a newsletter that is a weekly update tends to amplify shiny new software that has recently been released. In contrast, explaining how governance works on the fediverse does not align well with ‘this happened in the last 7 days’, as it involves more structural and slower moving forces. I’m experimenting with ways to bring coverage of governance in the fediverse better into focus. Expect more like this newsletter, where I zoom in on an offhanded comment by Misskey developer Syuilo as an illustration of the issues that come with interoperability between different places on the open social web.
Mastodon has belatedly published their Annual Report for 2023. The organisation acknowledges the delay, and says that the Annual Report for 2024 is planned to be released in Q1 of this year. Mastodon had a total of 545k euro in donations in 2023, with 476k in costs. The large majority of costs go to personnel expenses, in total 343k was spend on salaries, 72% of the total budget. The popularity of Mastodon’s own servers also come with significant costs, in 2023 they spend 75k on servers and hosting. With a rough estimate of averaging around 250k active users on mastodon.social, this means mastodon.social costs roughly 30 cents per active user per year. The Annual Report also looks at the updates Mastodon has made to the site and apps. Mastodon also shares more about their hiring process, and in a great move for transparency, also published all the salaries of everyone in the organisation.
Back in the present, Mastodon is hiring again, this time for a senior front-end developer. The organisation also held a crowd-funding campaign in late last year to fund and hire a Trust and Safety lead. The community seemed to have had little appetite for funding such an endeavour, with funding barely pushing past the 12k after a month. It is an indication of the difficult spot the organisation is in; the community has been asking for more safety features in Mastodon, but is not funding a Trust and Safety Lead. The organisation could clearly use someone who writes clear policy and design goals for the direction the software should go in. Currently, not even a Mastodon employee can explain why a safety feature for Mastodon that is fully developed and waiting to be approved has been waiting for approval for over 2.5 years. It turns out that writing the code is often the easy part of making changes in the fediverse, and navigating the social structures to get the code used by people is much harder, and a dedicated Trust and Safety Lead could have certainly helped here. Instead, even after large community outcry we still do not know why Mastodon has not merged this safety feature developed by their own employee.
Surf is a new app by Flipboard for the open social web. It is a beautifully designed app that allows people to build their own custom feeds. The power of Surf is in that it supports many networks, and you can combine posts from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube and Flipboard all into a single custom feed. How Flipboard markets Surf is interesting, describing it as a ‘browser for the social web’. The way Flipboard CEO Mike McCue sees it, Surf pulls in content from the social web, and gives you the possibility to display that content in custom feeds of your choice. Surf also allows you to filter a custom feed by content: for example, you can scroll through an entire feed, or switch over to a different tab that shows only videos in that feed, for example.
For more info on Surf, WeDistribute has a closer look at all the features, and The Verge has more context and comments by McCue. Custom feeds on Bluesky have mainly gone in the direction of the power user and community builder: tools like Graze offer an huge potential in programmability and flexibility. This is especially useful for those who want to build custom feeds that other people will also use. Surf takes a different approach, by instead prompting people to build their own feeds as much as possible. It’ll be interesting to see which approach will gain traction, and if there is space for both ways of building custom feeds.
Misskey developer Syuilo made some comments contemplating breaking federation with Mastodon. Misskey is mainly used in Japan, and has a wide feature set that differs notably from Mastodon. The main reason that Syuilo gave is that she feels Misskey development is constrained by having to meet the needs and requirements of maintaining federation with other (types) of software. That Misskey is considering letting federation between Mastodon and Misskey break is an indication of one of the downsides of how ActivityPub is designed: You can send out anything you want with ActivityPub, but it is exceedingly difficult to know how other software will actually receive and display the things you send out with ActivityPub. There is a significant freedom for fediverse software in how they implement and support even more basic functions. For example, see this comparison table for how the different platforms support hashtags, and how many variations there are.
Personally, I think it would be healthy for the fediverse as a whole if more fediverse software would start publishing what they deem as necessary for other software to federate with them. The fediverse mainly currently works on the assumption that any form of federation between projects is fine, even if that means that another federated platform will stripping out all markup and images of a post. It might be healthy for a platform to state minimum functional requirements, such as ‘we only want to federate with software that also shows the emoji reactions as we view this to be an integral part of a message’. For now, Syuilo’s post mainly seems to be to vent some frustrations, so it remains to be seen where any of this will actually go.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.

I get asked very often "how do you keep up with all the posts because you follow thousands of people?"
Well, I don't. And you shouldn't either. It's a general misconception that you should always be up to speed with the world.
Nobody can keep up with anything online. And we are not supposed to. If my mom calls me or I receive a traditional letter by mail, that's something I can keep up with. Not feeds or stories online. That is not the place of FOMO, every nanosecond we miss something.
I try to live in the present, I check my social media whenever I feel like it. I add the core folks to a list, but I don't try to keep up with them either. It's life.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't follow people or the followed folks don't matter. On the contrary. I follow anything or anyone that I show even tiniest bit of interest, that's the best way to make my feed most alive.

I’ve begun sourcing testimonies, thanks, and kind words from community members that have said things. All added with permission, of course! But, I really think it’s important that we show just how many lives this project touched.

Fediverse suggestions request: I'm looking for platforms and likely hosting for blogging. I've heard of #ghost and I know WordPress is also supported.
I'm looking to do two things: first, write about likely tech politics and open source. This will likely be a conventional old school blog.
Second, possibly separately, I'm looking to write up notes from my physics studies. This will necessitate solid LaTeX support.

Halloooo, das Jahr nimmt langsam Fahrt auf und die Vorbereitungen für die Infoveranstaltung zum Fediverse an der Uni Münster laufen auf Hochtouren.
Freut euch unter anderem, auf ein Interview mit @ghooffacker zu Perspektiven aus der Wissenschaft zum Thema Fediverse und Mastodon. Wenn ihr mehr dazu erfahren wollt, kommt am 13.01. vorbei oder habt noch etwas mehr Geduld bis das Ganze auch online landet :)
@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange
If you just joined the Fediverse
in search of a more inclusive community, welcome 
While the Fediverse also has its challenges, it is a community constantly trying to improve for its people, and away from the danger of the monetization of hate.
If you feel lost and are in need of advice:
1. I wrote these tiny tips to help you feel at home in no time: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323504324459171
2. Feel free to ask questions around! People will be happy to help. Hashtags are important here. If you have a question related to Mastodon for example, use #Mastodon
3. Be patient. Be you. Explore. Follow many to build a full feed (it is more important here because there is no algorithm).
Make yourself at home 🏡💚

Just updated my list of tools:
- Added Fedipact list
- Added Fedi on Fire
- Removed Combine.social

Because of X and Meta fucking things up once again, people are talking about abandoning social media, because there are no corporate free alternatives. Right.
@hobbsc@social.sdf.org
Good #tzaf, #fediverse! I hope you're all happy and safe!
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
We intend to publish the @radiofreefedi article sometime next week. One thing I would like to do for the #Fediverse music community is to offer the opportunity to put up something at the bottom of our article.
I’ve begun sourcing testimonies, thanks, and kind words from community members that have said things. All added with permission, of course! But, I really think it’s important that we show just how many lives this project touched.
If you have something you would like to put up, please DM me.

今回のMetaの方針転換を見て、「ThreadsのFediverse対応は多様性の臭いがするからやめまーす」とか言い出さないかと不安になってきたのだが

The good thing with federation is that I as an individual can make decisions about who I federate with - be it an individual or an entire instance. There's even some middle ground to customize your choice (silence vs block).
And now, the "federated islands" concept is kicking up, which is really cool. We have many choices - the decision is not mandated for us.

Yes, enabling for #DataSovereignty. But, also some properties of #Fediverse imply others can do with (their copies of) the data what they want, too; which is in tension with that sovereignty.
@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social
2 questions for the #PeerTube experts out there,
1. Is there a way I can migrate my account? I think my server disabled downloading videos but this is also causing issues for the people that follow me in their podcast apps.
2. What good PeerTube instances exist that are not tied to Crypto, AI, any right wing thing?

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 98
Welcome back to Fediverse Report! I’ve had a great holiday break spending time with family and friends, and that has given me some more time to think about why I care about the fediverse, the open social web and why I spend all this time writing Fediverse Report. Explaining to family members what I do was helpful to make this clear: telling an uncle that I write about decentralised technology mainly leads to confusion. But even extremely offline family members easily understand and agree with the idea that having all of our big social platforms being owned by billionaires leads to significant social problems.
As such, it has helped for me to make it more explicit that I care about decentralisation insofar it is a tool to get somewhere else: I care about better forms of governance and ownership of the social web. I want a social web where people are in control, not a few billionaires (nor nationstate governments, for that matter). Building social networks with decentralised technology is a way to get there.
The idea that the value of alternative social networks is in governance is far from new. I’ve regularly posted hot takes on my Mastodon to the same effect as well. But for 2025 I want to bring this more into focus for this newsletter. Writing a newsletter that is a weekly update tends to amplify shiny new software that has recently been released. In contrast, explaining how governance works on the fediverse does not align well with ‘this happened in the last 7 days’, as it involves more structural and slower moving forces. I’m experimenting with ways to bring coverage of governance in the fediverse better into focus. Expect more like this newsletter, where I zoom in on an offhanded comment by Misskey developer Syuilo as an illustration of the issues that come with interoperability between different places on the open social web.
Mastodon has belatedly published their Annual Report for 2023. The organisation acknowledges the delay, and says that the Annual Report for 2024 is planned to be released in Q1 of this year. Mastodon had a total of 545k euro in donations in 2023, with 476k in costs. The large majority of costs go to personnel expenses, in total 343k was spend on salaries, 72% of the total budget. The popularity of Mastodon’s own servers also come with significant costs, in 2023 they spend 75k on servers and hosting. With a rough estimate of averaging around 250k active users on mastodon.social, this means mastodon.social costs roughly 30 cents per active user per year. The Annual Report also looks at the updates Mastodon has made to the site and apps. Mastodon also shares more about their hiring process, and in a great move for transparency, also published all the salaries of everyone in the organisation.
Back in the present, Mastodon is hiring again, this time for a senior front-end developer. The organisation also held a crowd-funding campaign in late last year to fund and hire a Trust and Safety lead. The community seemed to have had little appetite for funding such an endeavour, with funding barely pushing past the 12k after a month. It is an indication of the difficult spot the organisation is in; the community has been asking for more safety features in Mastodon, but is not funding a Trust and Safety Lead. The organisation could clearly use someone who writes clear policy and design goals for the direction the software should go in. Currently, not even a Mastodon employee can explain why a safety feature for Mastodon that is fully developed and waiting to be approved has been waiting for approval for over 2.5 years. It turns out that writing the code is often the easy part of making changes in the fediverse, and navigating the social structures to get the code used by people is much harder, and a dedicated Trust and Safety Lead could have certainly helped here. Instead, even after large community outcry we still do not know why Mastodon has not merged this safety feature developed by their own employee.
Surf is a new app by Flipboard for the open social web. It is a beautifully designed app that allows people to build their own custom feeds. The power of Surf is in that it supports many networks, and you can combine posts from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube and Flipboard all into a single custom feed. How Flipboard markets Surf is interesting, describing it as a ‘browser for the social web’. The way Flipboard CEO Mike McCue sees it, Surf pulls in content from the social web, and gives you the possibility to display that content in custom feeds of your choice. Surf also allows you to filter a custom feed by content: for example, you can scroll through an entire feed, or switch over to a different tab that shows only videos in that feed, for example.
For more info on Surf, WeDistribute has a closer look at all the features, and The Verge has more context and comments by McCue. Custom feeds on Bluesky have mainly gone in the direction of the power user and community builder: tools like Graze offer an huge potential in programmability and flexibility. This is especially useful for those who want to build custom feeds that other people will also use. Surf takes a different approach, by instead prompting people to build their own feeds as much as possible. It’ll be interesting to see which approach will gain traction, and if there is space for both ways of building custom feeds.
Misskey developer Syuilo made some comments contemplating breaking federation with Mastodon. Misskey is mainly used in Japan, and has a wide feature set that differs notably from Mastodon. The main reason that Syuilo gave is that she feels Misskey development is constrained by having to meet the needs and requirements of maintaining federation with other (types) of software. That Misskey is considering letting federation between Mastodon and Misskey break is an indication of one of the downsides of how ActivityPub is designed: You can send out anything you want with ActivityPub, but it is exceedingly difficult to know how other software will actually receive and display the things you send out with ActivityPub. There is a significant freedom for fediverse software in how they implement and support even more basic functions. For example, see this comparison table for how the different platforms support hashtags, and how many variations there are.
Personally, I think it would be healthy for the fediverse as a whole if more fediverse software would start publishing what they deem as necessary for other software to federate with them. The fediverse mainly currently works on the assumption that any form of federation between projects is fine, even if that means that another federated platform will stripping out all markup and images of a post. It might be healthy for a platform to state minimum functional requirements, such as ‘we only want to federate with software that also shows the emoji reactions as we view this to be an integral part of a message’. For now, Syuilo’s post mainly seems to be to vent some frustrations, so it remains to be seen where any of this will actually go.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

(1/2) Dear supporters,
yesterday our petition for #Unis4Mastodon ended with more than 2,070 signatures.
Yesterday alone, another 114 signatures were collected
https://openpetition.de/Unis4Mastodon
This shows how pressing the issue of using truly #socialmedia is for many people.
We have managed to get a number of #universities to shut down their X-accounts. And we know that many are considering taking this step as well.
Furthermore, #SciComm is no longer conceivable without the #Fediverse, as the steadily growing number of followers on #Mastodon channels shows.

It might be healthy for a platform to state minimum functional requirements, such as ‘we only want to federate with software that also shows the emoji reactions as we view this to be an integral part of a message’. For now, Syuilo’s post mainly seems to be to vent some frustrations, so it remains to be seen where any of this will actually go.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 98
Welcome back to Fediverse Report! I’ve had a great holiday break spending time with family and friends, and that has given me some more time to think about why I care about the fediverse, the open social web and why I spend all this time writing Fediverse Report. Explaining to family members what I do was helpful to make this clear: telling an uncle that I write about decentralised technology mainly leads to confusion. But even extremely offline family members easily understand and agree with the idea that having all of our big social platforms being owned by billionaires leads to significant social problems.
As such, it has helped for me to make it more explicit that I care about decentralisation insofar it is a tool to get somewhere else: I care about better forms of governance and ownership of the social web. I want a social web where people are in control, not a few billionaires (nor nationstate governments, for that matter). Building social networks with decentralised technology is a way to get there.
The idea that the value of alternative social networks is in governance is far from new. I’ve regularly posted hot takes on my Mastodon to the same effect as well. But for 2025 I want to bring this more into focus for this newsletter. Writing a newsletter that is a weekly update tends to amplify shiny new software that has recently been released. In contrast, explaining how governance works on the fediverse does not align well with ‘this happened in the last 7 days’, as it involves more structural and slower moving forces. I’m experimenting with ways to bring coverage of governance in the fediverse better into focus. Expect more like this newsletter, where I zoom in on an offhanded comment by Misskey developer Syuilo as an illustration of the issues that come with interoperability between different places on the open social web.
Mastodon has belatedly published their Annual Report for 2023. The organisation acknowledges the delay, and says that the Annual Report for 2024 is planned to be released in Q1 of this year. Mastodon had a total of 545k euro in donations in 2023, with 476k in costs. The large majority of costs go to personnel expenses, in total 343k was spend on salaries, 72% of the total budget. The popularity of Mastodon’s own servers also come with significant costs, in 2023 they spend 75k on servers and hosting. With a rough estimate of averaging around 250k active users on mastodon.social, this means mastodon.social costs roughly 30 cents per active user per year. The Annual Report also looks at the updates Mastodon has made to the site and apps. Mastodon also shares more about their hiring process, and in a great move for transparency, also published all the salaries of everyone in the organisation.
Back in the present, Mastodon is hiring again, this time for a senior front-end developer. The organisation also held a crowd-funding campaign in late last year to fund and hire a Trust and Safety lead. The community seemed to have had little appetite for funding such an endeavour, with funding barely pushing past the 12k after a month. It is an indication of the difficult spot the organisation is in; the community has been asking for more safety features in Mastodon, but is not funding a Trust and Safety Lead. The organisation could clearly use someone who writes clear policy and design goals for the direction the software should go in. Currently, not even a Mastodon employee can explain why a safety feature for Mastodon that is fully developed and waiting to be approved has been waiting for approval for over 2.5 years. It turns out that writing the code is often the easy part of making changes in the fediverse, and navigating the social structures to get the code used by people is much harder, and a dedicated Trust and Safety Lead could have certainly helped here. Instead, even after large community outcry we still do not know why Mastodon has not merged this safety feature developed by their own employee.
Surf is a new app by Flipboard for the open social web. It is a beautifully designed app that allows people to build their own custom feeds. The power of Surf is in that it supports many networks, and you can combine posts from Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube and Flipboard all into a single custom feed. How Flipboard markets Surf is interesting, describing it as a ‘browser for the social web’. The way Flipboard CEO Mike McCue sees it, Surf pulls in content from the social web, and gives you the possibility to display that content in custom feeds of your choice. Surf also allows you to filter a custom feed by content: for example, you can scroll through an entire feed, or switch over to a different tab that shows only videos in that feed, for example.
For more info on Surf, WeDistribute has a closer look at all the features, and The Verge has more context and comments by McCue. Custom feeds on Bluesky have mainly gone in the direction of the power user and community builder: tools like Graze offer an huge potential in programmability and flexibility. This is especially useful for those who want to build custom feeds that other people will also use. Surf takes a different approach, by instead prompting people to build their own feeds as much as possible. It’ll be interesting to see which approach will gain traction, and if there is space for both ways of building custom feeds.
Misskey developer Syuilo made some comments contemplating breaking federation with Mastodon. Misskey is mainly used in Japan, and has a wide feature set that differs notably from Mastodon. The main reason that Syuilo gave is that she feels Misskey development is constrained by having to meet the needs and requirements of maintaining federation with other (types) of software. That Misskey is considering letting federation between Mastodon and Misskey break is an indication of one of the downsides of how ActivityPub is designed: You can send out anything you want with ActivityPub, but it is exceedingly difficult to know how other software will actually receive and display the things you send out with ActivityPub. There is a significant freedom for fediverse software in how they implement and support even more basic functions. For example, see this comparison table for how the different platforms support hashtags, and how many variations there are.
Personally, I think it would be healthy for the fediverse as a whole if more fediverse software would start publishing what they deem as necessary for other software to federate with them. The fediverse mainly currently works on the assumption that any form of federation between projects is fine, even if that means that another federated platform will stripping out all markup and images of a post. It might be healthy for a platform to state minimum functional requirements, such as ‘we only want to federate with software that also shows the emoji reactions as we view this to be an integral part of a message’.

I’m a born and bred optimist. I think that with the #fediverse we are collectively building solutions that replace money with empathy and real connections as the main motivation. For this to work, decentralisation is key. Decentralisation works and grows with open standards and open source. But it’s more about de-egoing than about demonetisation. Open standards and open source DO allow for making a good living of serving your community. Ego kills community. Beware of the psychopaths. Sermon over

I analysed the #Mastodon posts I've made over the last 2+ years for the clients I've been using, and created some charts.
The first one is the pie chart of the post count by clients. @ivory for Mac is the winner here, with 30% posts made using it. @phanpy and the default Mastodon web client are seconds at 22%. @trunksapp is third at 12%, and @elk comes fourth at 10%.
The second chart shows the post count split by clients over time. It shows that I started with using the web client for the first few months, tried Ivory, trunks and Elk for the next few months, and then settled on using Ivory on my laptop and trunks on my phone. Few months later, I replaced trunks with Phanpy, and then continued using the Ivory-Phanpy combo consistently for over a year, with few posts being made from Web, Elk and trunks. The last bar shows me trying to replace Ivory with Phanpy as my sole major client.

The thing that people see an issue with, is the fact that a lot of people use it to "harass" others in front of their followers as if to say "laugh at this fool". However, if this is truly the "open" web, that's just gonna be a thing.
I hope they eventually make it an official feature as well, but for now, most third party apps have it built-in.

One year ago I published Fediverse tech roadmap for year 2024. How did we do?
- Data portability. FEP-ef61 has advanced significantly. Compatible IDs were introduced, which make portable objects fully compatbile with existing ActivityPub implementations. Identity can be represented using any DID method, not just did:key. Security of the protocol has been studied extensively. And most importantly, there are now two interoperable implementations: Streams and Mitra.
- End-to-end encryption. An end-to-end encryption system is being developed for social networking platform Enigmatick. It is based on the Olm protocol, which is also used by Matrix.
- Connectivity. A big improvement came from Mastodon, which now notifies its users when relationships are severed by moderation actions. ActivityConnect AP-to-AP bridge was developed, but it didn't see much use, indicating that the problem it attempts to solve is not serious.
- Moderation / spam resistance. Two different conversation moderation mechanisms emerged: Conversation Containers (implemented by Streams and Hubzilla) and Interaction Policies (implemented by GoToSocial).
- Scalability. The number of platforms implementing FEP-8b32 is slowly increasing but the biggest ones still don't sign their activities (or use non-standard LD signatures). Some preliminary work on optimizing media delivery was done in FEP-1311: Media Attachments.
- Plugins. Lemmy developers are discussing WASM plugins in an RFC. A WASM-based MRF was implemented in Kitsune.
- Discovery. Mastodon introduced fediverse:creator OpenGraph tag. Relay protocols were documented in FEP-ae0c, and ActivityPub Discovery report was published. Several projects are working on Starter Packs similar to ones used by BlueSky platform.
- Developer experience. Fun Fediverse Development project continues to improve, and now provides support tables for many protocol features. ActivityPub and WebFinger and ActivityPub and HTTP Signatures reports were published, as well as FEPs about Origin-based security model and various features such as OpenWebAuth and Emoji reactions. FEDERATION.md is becoming more popular, the number of projects using it nearly doubled in 2024.
- Groups. Conversation Containers were implemented in Streams and Hubzilla, and FEP-171b: Conversation Containers was published. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers have many similarities, and the work on further alignment is ongoing.
- URL handlers. No significant progress.
- Synchronization of replies. Both FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers naturally lead to synchronized conversations.
- Markets. No significant progress.
- Quoting. FEP-e232 is now supported by 8 platforms.
- Forge federation. Forgejo implemented federated stars, and the development of other features has started.
I think the work on these problems should continue in 2025, especially in the following key areas:
- Conversations and groups. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers are good solutions and may eventually become one because their differences are mostly superficial.
- Data portability and Nomadic identity. A lot of work still needs to be done. Some aspects of FEP-ef61 are underspecified, for example media storage. A fully featured nomadic client (FEP-ae97) has not been developed yet and migration of data between implementations has not been demonstrated. I would also like to see experiments with peer to peer networking (FEP-ef61 is designed to be transport agnostic, this means HTTP transport can be replaced with something else, such as Iroh) and cross-protocol interop (identities created for Nostr and ATProto are compatible with FEP-ef61).
- ActivityPub C2S API. Although standard client-to-server API is not popular among developers, the work on it should continue because nomadic client-to-server API (FEP-ae97) is very similar.
- End-to-end encryption. I think that adoption of solutions developed for other protocols is a good idea. A custom solution may take many years to develop.
- Developer experience. Code reuse in not common in Fediverse: most developers implement ActivityPub primitives themselves. Libraries for all programming languages need to be created, along with online validators, testing tools and good documentation.

So, what does New Social mean?
To us, it's a vision of open social media - free from the control of a single person. It's not a single platform (or protocol) but a new way of thinking.
A place where you can post, build community across multiple platforms, and move if you ever need to.
It's a one stop solution to the closed networks that only serve the billionaires who own them.

Halloooo, das Jahr nimmt langsam Fahrt auf und die Vorbereitungen für die Infoveranstaltung zum Fediverse an der Uni Münster laufen auf Hochtouren.
Freut euch unter anderem, auf ein Interview mit @ghooffacker zu Perspektiven aus der Wissenschaft zum Thema Fediverse und Mastodon. Wenn ihr mehr dazu erfahren wollt, kommt am 13.01. vorbei oder habt noch etwas mehr Geduld bis das Ganze auch online landet :)
@BjornW@mastodon.social
Does anyone have any info on the estimated collective investments on Fediverse technology currently?
The definition for Fediverse in this case may include Threads & Bluesky & possible others.
Any papers, hints, links etc are very welcome. Feel free to boost & share this question

My #fediverse server is running the #Sharkey software platform, a fork of #Misskey, to post messages via the #activitypub protocol. You can see my post, even though you may use another platform to participate in the fediverse, like #Mastodon or #Pleroma. So, without using the same platform, we can share messages because we use the same protocol. We have to move from platform-based networking to protocol-based networking. Get rid of the lock-ins, be self-sovereign!

Week 3 of #selfhosting thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial ✨
This morning I successfully bridged my account to #Bluesky via #BridgyFed 👀
@elena.aseachange.com.ap.brid.gy
What's fascinating is that I had tried before but it didn't work... because BridgyFed has some rules, where you need to have a profile pic and an account older than 2 weeks in order to successfully bridge 
As you all know, I FAR FAR FAR prefer the #Fediverse to Bluesky, but many non-technical friends of mine are now active there, so it's a good opportunity for me to stay in touch with them while posting on the Fediverse. Special thanks to @snarfed.org for making this possible 🙏

- Conversations and groups. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers are good solutions and may eventually become one because their differences are mostly superficial.
- Data portability and Nomadic identity. A lot of work still needs to be done. Some aspects of FEP-ef61 are underspecified, for example media storage. A fully featured nomadic client (FEP-ae97) has not been developed yet and migration of data between implementations has not been demonstrated. I would also like to see experiments with peer to peer networking (FEP-ef61 is designed to be transport agnostic, this means HTTP transport can be replaced with something else, such as Iroh) and cross-protocol interop (identities created for Nostr and ATProto are compatible with FEP-ef61).
- ActivityPub C2S API. Although standard client-to-server API is not popular among developers, the work on it should continue because nomadic client-to-server API (FEP-ae97) is very similar.
- End-to-end encryption. I think that adoption of solutions developed for other protocols is a good idea. A custom solution may take many years to develop.
- Developer experience. Code reuse in not common in Fediverse: most developers implement ActivityPub primitives themselves. Libraries for all programming languages need to be created, along with online validators, testing tools and good documentation.

One year ago I published Fediverse tech roadmap for year 2024. How did we do?
- Data portability. FEP-ef61 has advanced significantly. Compatible IDs were introduced, which make portable objects fully compatbile with existing ActivityPub implementations. Identity can be represented using any DID method, not just did:key. Security of the protocol has been studied extensively. And most importantly, there are now two interoperable implementations: Streams and Mitra.
- End-to-end encryption. An end-to-end encryption system is being developed for social networking platform Enigmatick. It is based on the Olm protocol, which is also used by Matrix.
- Connectivity. A big improvement came from Mastodon, which now notifies its users when relationships are severed by moderation actions. ActivityConnect AP-to-AP bridge was developed, but it didn't see much use, indicating that the problem it attempts to solve is not serious.
- Moderation / spam resistance. Two different conversation moderation mechanisms emerged: Conversation Containers (implemented by Streams and Hubzilla) and Interaction Policies (implemented by GoToSocial).
- Scalability. The number of platforms implementing FEP-8b32 is slowly increasing but the biggest ones still don't sign their activities (or use non-standard LD signatures). Some preliminary work on optimizing media delivery was done in FEP-1311: Media Attachments.
- Plugins. Lemmy developers are discussing WASM plugins in an RFC. A WASM-based MRF was implemented in Kitsune.
- Discovery. Mastodon introduced fediverse:creator OpenGraph tag. Relay protocols were documented in FEP-ae0c, and ActivityPub Discovery report was published. Several projects are working on Starter Packs similar to ones used by BlueSky platform.
- Developer experience. Fun Fediverse Development project continues to improve, and now provides support tables for many protocol features. ActivityPub and WebFinger and ActivityPub and HTTP Signatures reports were published, as well as FEPs about Origin-based security model and various features such as OpenWebAuth and Emoji reactions. FEDERATION.md is becoming more popular, the number of projects using it nearly doubled in 2024.
- Groups. Conversation Containers were implemented in Streams and Hubzilla, and FEP-171b: Conversation Containers was published. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers have many similarities, and the work on further alignment is ongoing.
- URL handlers. No significant progress.
- Synchronization of replies. Both FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers naturally lead to synchronized conversations.
- Markets. No significant progress.
- Quoting. FEP-e232 is now supported by 8 platforms.
- Forge federation. Forgejo implemented federated stars, and the development of other features has started.
I think the work on these problems should continue in 2025, especially in the following key areas:
- Conversations and groups. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers are good solutions and may eventually become one because their differences are mostly superficial.

Bluesky is so far a failed experiment in terms of moderation. Spam, bots and people trying to scam is rampant, and delegating tagging/curation to users has not been enough to avoid that.

I used AI to generate my hashtags. I am looking for ways to use AI in a resposible way. At first I did not like it that it also throwed the style (e.g. cynical) but the more I think about it the more I like that people could choose to hide, ban or follow posts in certain style or tone.

We are still learning how to use this platform, social networks is not our strong point. We welcome advices and ideas!
Still, we are very happy to see this amazing ecosystem in #fediverse
We will report from #NES, aka #Rojava.
Feel free to spread our updates and graphics and #defendrojava !

- Forge federation. Forgejo implemented federated stars, and the development of other features has started.
I think the work on these problems should continue in 2025, especially in the following key areas:
- Conversations and groups. FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers are good solutions and may eventually become one because their differences are mostly superficial.
- Data portability and Nomadic identity. A lot of work still needs to be done. Some aspects of FEP-ef61 are underspecified, for example media storage. A fully featured nomadic client (FEP-ae97) has not been developed yet and migration of data between implementations has not been demonstrated. I would also like to see experiments with peer to peer networking (FEP-ef61 is designed to be transport agnostic, this means HTTP transport can be replaced with something else, such as Iroh) and cross-protocol interop (identities created for Nostr and ATProto are compatible with FEP-ef61).
- ActivityPub C2S API. Although standard client-to-server API is not popular among developers, the work on it should continue because nomadic client-to-server API (FEP-ae97) is very similar.
- End-to-end encryption. I think that adoption of solutions developed for other protocols is a good idea. A custom solution may take many years to develop.
- Developer experience. Code reuse in not common in Fediverse: most developers implement ActivityPub primitives themselves. Libraries for all programming languages need to be created, along with online validators, testing tools and good documentation.

Well, not really "very different". Nobody is talking about the truly different social media - The Fediverse and Mastodon, that is.

Flipboard is embracing the Fediverse to become a "Fediverse browser." This shift aims to provide users with more content and creators with greater independence from major social media platforms. By integrating ActivityPub, Flipboard intends to enhance content discovery and curation, offering a more open and equitable social media experience.

@stefano@bsd.cafe
Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?
For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.
BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.
Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.
Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:
- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.
For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe
The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.
Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

I analysed the #Mastodon posts I've made over the last 2+ years for the clients I've been using, and created some charts.
The first one is the pie chart of the post count by clients. @ivory for Mac is the winner here, with 30% posts made using it. @phanpy and the default Mastodon web client are seconds at 22%. @trunksapp is third at 12%, and @elk comes fourth at 10%.
The second chart shows the post count split by clients over time. It shows that I started with using the web client for the first few months, tried Ivory, trunks and Elk for the next few months, and then settled on using Ivory on my laptop and trunks on my phone. Few months later, I replaced trunks with Phanpy, and then continued using the Ivory-Phanpy combo consistently for over a year, with few posts being made from Web, Elk and trunks. The last bar shows me trying to replace Ivory with Phanpy as my sole major client.

Pretty neat. I've now seen three examples of fediverse bots that run as independent fediverse servers, rather than using some platform's (most commonly Mastodon's) API.

I’ve just stumbled into another annoyance in the #Fediverse architecture: thread continuity is broken when an item in the chain is broken.
Suppose there is this thread of posts/replies, made by three users, and I wrote the last reply (C).
A → B → C
Suppose I wanted to find post A. Sadly, I don’t remember what post A contained (or A’s post is not searchable), but I do remember what I wrote in response in C. I look for my reply and find it, but much to my dismay, the poster of B has deleted their post. So now I have:
A → ✵ → C
Since B is missing, I can no longer find A.
I was under the assumption that ActivityPub provides for a tombstone in place of B, which allows the reply chain to continue to be traversed, but I don’t think that’s the case—the tombstone contains no reference to A at all.
This is particularly annoying because the longer the thread, the more likely this is to happen. I wonder if anyone is already looking at this issue?

One of the advantages Microformats and (small "s") semantic-HTML has over HTML, XML, JSON, etc, is —
It is easy to mark a piece of data with multiple semantics.

I think using "live" URIs for JSON-LD contexts (that parsers are expected to download from) — are probably a bad idea.
Maybe even a security-hole.

This Fediverse bot @FediTree has tried to adopt a social-norm around which people and accounts on the Fediverse to include.
@FediTree generates an image with a (Christmas?) tree in it, with the (Christmas?) tree ornaments decorating the tree being the accounts you recently interacted with the most.
@FediTree adopted social-norm is: it doesn't include accounts that have the #nobot hash-tag on their profile, or have set their account to NOT be "discoverable".
@reiver@mastodon.social
What is the motivation for encouraging LitePub implementors to "supply a locally hosted version of the LitePub JSON-LD Context"?
Is it just for people using full-out JSON-LD parsers?
Won't this create problems for people using parsers that do NOT go download and interpret context-URIs? And instead just hard-code the vocabulary in their code?

@Raccoon@techhub.social
While it probably won't be an issue for 99% of users, just wanted to post another reminder that #TechHub will be moving our server (on which this #Mastodon instance is hosted) from the #US to #Canada, in response to the hostile administration of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This was planned back in October, contingent on the election results, and will be completed by the 20th.
We will be stationed in #Quebec, where the admin lives, so expect more options for #French speakers, which will be implemented alongside #Espanol and #Portugues as we work to cater better to #CentralAmerica and #SouthAmerica (including #Brasil). We will also be subject to #CanadianLaw, which should not be an issue, as the main difference would be hate speech, which we already explicitly don't allow.
Just letting the #Fediverse know what's happening here. Otherwise, expect business as usual: we will remain committed to providing an open and friendly large-server option for #Tech workers and enthusiasts in #America.

@dansup @vidzy hmm I've been learning #Rust & want to start a project I can list on my resume before applying to Rust jobs.
Was thinking a #Fediverse #GTK / #Libadwaita client would be perfect. Was leaning toward #Lemmy since the backend is also Rust, but the UI for that would be more complex & is daunting for my zero exp w/ UI (outside of React)
#Loops would probably need a lot less UI complexity, so maybe I'll make that instead.

Happy New Year, everyone! Just for fun — and to inject a bit of sunshine 🌞 in your day — here’s a peek at the aesthetic that inspired the Surf brand. We’re going for retro-modern vibes, featuring 70s surf nostalgia and a dose of @Flipboard's Bauhaus DNA.

Here’s a tip for our Dawn Patrol #surfers: Add an interesting title and description. Not only does it help people understand what’s in your feed and why they should care, but also we’re looking for rad feeds to feature and this is a prerequisite. Thanks! 😎
@Raccoon@techhub.social
While it probably won't be an issue for 99% of users, just wanted to post another reminder that #TechHub will be moving our server (on which this #Mastodon instance is hosted) from the #US to #Canada, in response to the hostile administration of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This was planned back in October, contingent on the election results, and will be completed by the 20th.
We will be stationed in #Quebec, where the admin lives, so expect more options for #French speakers, which will be implemented alongside #Espanol and #Portugues as we work to cater better to #CentralAmerica and #SouthAmerica (including #Brasil). We will also be subject to #CanadianLaw, which should not be an issue, as the main difference would be hate speech, which we already explicitly don't allow.
Just letting the #Fediverse know what's happening here. Otherwise, expect business as usual: we will remain committed to providing an open and friendly large-server option for #Tech workers and enthusiasts in #America.

The Fediverse makes me anxious sometimes. It's not always pure joy and bliss, especially as an admin.
Top 5 things that make me anxious here:
1. When people can't just agree to disagree, but have to crucify others or report them because they didn't like what they said - or even start a hateful campaign for it
2. When people endlessly nitpick and dissect otherwise good post
3. When the obscure and dark instances or nostr users find your posts and start posting hateful content because of "free speech"
4. When you get judged if you use the wrong word or even hint towards something that someone doesn't agree on
5. When you make a decision in moderation and any decision pisses off someone - lose-lose situation
It's not daily or often times even monthly, but it happens. I'm glad we mostly get along though.
Blocking, fediblocking, reporting and muting are the most important features here.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!
UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!
UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com
Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

One of the great unresolved questions of digital society is the degree and patterns of (de)centralization in a stable long-term horizon.
In physical geography the trend is unmistakable: urbanization is growing everywhere. The city is the building block.
In digital geography the extreme centralization of today feels like an unstable, transitory phase but there aren't many hints what a future distribution might look like
Distributed, decentralized or maybe something else altogether?

Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!
I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).
I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.
I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.
Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.
What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.
I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!
So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.
This is a really magical, special place.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Oaken is a vision to help make running untrusted code on this new frontier safe, opening up far more possibilities. It doesn't exist yet... but now there's funding to build it!

The Fediverse is the real world collection of platforms, apps, and services that implement ActivityPub. They constitute a “federated universe” of interconnected social networks and can freely communicate with one another.
The #Fediverse is considered to be the “next big thing” in social media. Usage has roughly tripled from 2022 - 23, and as larger platforms begin adopting we can expect a tenfold increase in adoption in 2024.

Short videos on TikTok, YouTube (Shorts), Vidzy, Loops, etc.
Could short content create a better user-experience (UX)?

Hello Fedi friends!
Hope you've had a lovely start of the year so far.
It should come as no surprise that the next issue of my newsletter/blog #TheFutureIsFederated will focus on #selfhosting and #GoToSocial. LOVING it so far.
I’d like to propose a vote for the February issue, since I like to start my explorations early, to thoroughly test-drive #Fediverse projects.
So, in February, what would you like me to cover?

Pretty neat. I've now seen three examples of fediverse bots that run as independent fediverse servers, rather than using some platform's (most commonly Mastodon's) API.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!
UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!
UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com
Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

So, 2025 is going to be a huge leap forward for the #Fediverse in general, and #Bandwagon specifically. I've finally made enough progress on the search engine that it's finally worthy of sharing a screenshot.

@elena@aseachange.com
Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!
I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).
I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.
I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.
Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.
What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.
I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!
So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.
This is a really magical, special place.
Happy New Year, everyone!

@stefano@bsd.cafe
Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?
For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.
BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.
Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.
Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:
- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.
For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe
The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.
Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

#WordPress & @wordpressdotcom allow people to insert ads, but most people do not turn that feature on.
When you launch @loops on #iPhone, #iPad & #Android in the various App Stores, make sure you include a donation link so folks unfamiliar with the #Fediverse can support you (factor in the #Apple & #Google in-app tax when you do).

Gleichzeitig das #Fakenews und #Nazi Netzwerk von #Musk bespielen, und die demokratischen, freien Alternativen zu ignorieren ist falsch.

Navigating both the #fediverse and #ATmosphere, I think having community is just as important as having discovery.
We need the communities the focus, not the feed. 😅
The aggregator will help on discovery, but the networking of the community and keeping context is where these networks can shine. 😄
@zeab@fosstodon.org · Reply to Alejandro Baez's post
I don't have strict opinions on either.
But I definitely see the #fediverse with the exclusive isolationist ideologies.
Enough so that we may get further away from people joining because they simply don't know where to join. 🫠 It stays highly community based, but very silo.
On the other hand, if we adopt inclusion to aggregators, we get scenarios that personal content becomes feed for the mass. Be it AI model training or feed generators. Not community based, but social by discovery. ⚰️
@zeab@fosstodon.org
Interesting, #Flipboard making an aggregator client called #surf.
I see two paths for the social splits happening. 🤔
One is where aggregators become mighty important. Due to #fediverse and #SocialWeb becoming silos but still inclusive. So aggregator theory can shine. Not only work.
The other is to exclusivity, while being isolationist. It's the whole block a indexer or a server because reasons. In this path, very little can become of aggregators.

If you're in the #Fediverse social network your profile is "cloned" in every instance that has seen your content at least once.
If someone is following your account on a specific instance, every single post from that first follower are also "cloned" (sometimes it fails too).
If someone searches for your old post—those you made before someone followed you on that instance—it will also be "cloned".
Even the Mastodon® software itself works that way.
Some Fediverse software also have a public Atom/RSS feed for the entire instance and for each account where PUBLIC content are, well, viewable publicly.
By having an account on the Fediverse social network, you actually gave permission to be "cloned" because that's how it actually works.
You don't like how it works? You have the following options:
a. Go back to any walled networks like Twitter and Facebook.
b. Move to Threads but do not turn-on Federation (it's an opt-in feature).
c. Build your own social network software and platform.
d. Fork whichever Fediverse software you like and delete the ActivityPub features.
e. Live with it.
f. Try to suggest an opt-in feature for your favourite Fediverse software, like how Threads is doing it. (Or, just move to Threads, see option B above)
g. Instead of opt-in, suggest an opt-out feature and ensure it is available during the on-boarding process.
h. An allowlist feature where an account can select which instances they want to federate. (Which will probably make it less taxing on instances, too?)
I think options G and H are the best.
The default is 100% federation. Accounts can choose to opt-out entirely from federation (option G), or create their own allowlist (option H).
Yeah, both options G and H is win-win-win. But that's up to the software your instance is using if they want to implement it.
(I think there were a few forks before with option G? Not sure what happened to them, it's a rarely talked feature because it defeats the purpose of an Open #SocialWeb.)

@berniethewordsmith Explain it to me like I'm five: How does Person A using the bridge endanger Person B not using the bridge? I mean, Jesse Singal will still be over there, and we'll still be over here, so if I don't feel like blocking everyone from Bluesky, how does that put someone else over here at risk?

@feb du weisst ja, wie ich das sehe (das #Fediverse ist auch technisch vielfältig) und trotzdem wäre mein Rat, das großzügig zu ignorieren. Es gibt eben diese Layer an Nutzern. Das ändert sich auch erstmal nicht.
90% denken ja auch mastodon.social wäre #Mastodon.

To people complaining about the Nostr bridge today, (the one that's been here for years now) you DO know that there's no way to tell what anyone is doing with your public posts, right?
There's even a RSS feed that cannot be turned off for EVERY Mastodon account that anyone can read and you'd never even know...
If you want privacy, post privately. If you're posting publicly, you have no expectation of privacy.

One thing I like about the #Fediverse and the larger #DecentralizedSocialMedia space that private companies will never be able to fully replicate is how some people find their own calling inside this environment and share their work with others. Platform and client developers are obvious example of this, but specialized accounts like @FediTips (ran by @FediThing ) is regularly dispensing helpful meta information about the space even though there’s no material incentive for them to do so.
Thanks to them for their continued efforts to bring everybody who is ready to follow them up to speed with the latest and the little known!

Fedi Dev Tip:
Develop features that you say you would for some time instead of implementing crap nobody wants or asked for.
Any Fedi Dev that implements privacy ruining age verification crap will not succeed. I promise.
Do better.

By the way, where's that "Mastodon API" feature that you've advertised for the past year?🤨

I didn't like the idea of a HARD-CODED "/xrpc" path for Bluesky's API.
I also don't like the idea of HARD-CODED "/api/v1" path for the Fediverse, due to Mastodon's API.
Actually, I probably dislike the latter ("/api/v1") even more than the former ("/xrpc") since "/api/v1" is so common for web-based APIs in general.

The image that (I assume) @darnell used to represent Threads is interesting.
Threads doesn't (currently) have a mascot.
So, a humanoid made out of threads seems like an interesting idea.

✨ Celebrate the magic of social media from real people - no ads, no algorithms, no influencers.
Explore platforms like #Mastodon, #PixelFed, and #Lemmy. It’s social media the way it should be. About you.
Come see our communities holiday cheer for yourself:

Really hoping it really is "for you" as in based on the user and the interests they've shown, as opposed to "for boosting the already popular boosted accounts" which just snowballs into the usual social media two caste system of .1% megastars and 99.9% nobodies.
We have a unique opportunity to do things better.

Looking back on the indie projects I developed in 2024
✨SoraSNS: An iOS client for Mastodon, Misskey, Bluesky, and Nostr in the Fediverse, featuring an AI-powered "Recommended" timeline
✨Neo: A decentralized chat app built on Matrix
✨Spatial Escape I: A phone booth escape game for Apple Vision Pro
✨Spatial Boxer: A boxing game for Apple Vision Pro
Other apps I launched:
🦊URL Passport: Check domain ownership details
🐙Octo Notes: Note-taking app for iPad with Pencil support
🤖Smart AI: Chat with local LLMs like Phi and Llama
🦊Kyoto Shrine Guide: A guide to Kyoto's shrines
Next month, I’m launching a new indie app about ✈️. Stay tuned!

Interesting. PeerTube content (in their "application/activity+json") can be Markdown.
(Reference: curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://tube.archworks.co/videos/watch/7d1d5c2f-6d13-48d0-addd-ea99e9e9c967 )

@reiver@mastodon.social
It seems to be common now to put JSON-LD in the HTML source code.
ActivityPub and ActivityStreams files (application/activity+json) are JSON-LD files.
You could put ActivityPub and ActivityStreams in the HTML source code.
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #FediDevs #Fediverse #HTML #JSONLD
@reiver@mastodon.social
I wish Mastodon handled ActivityStreams "type":"Video" as well as "type":"Note" with a Video attachment.
They could be rendered the same. But they (currently) aren't.

Since aiui fediverse servers do a lot of caching .. surely there is some way of retrieving all my data from the network if my local copy goes pop.
Like what do I need.. my subscribers/subscribed list and maybe some keys?

@_elena Yeah, I am not surprised #ElonMusk did this, as he is trying to increase engagement on #X.
I initially put my account in private mode, then embraced the #Fediverse. I am now back to using X as it is the fastest way to contact my political leaders (Mayor, government officials, Senators, Congress representatives, state legislators, etcetera) who are mostly #Republicans (the #GOP dominated my area).

ActivityPub-compatible CMSs should work out a way to “reprint” stories across different blogs
Like how newspapers will reprint a story, and the author and original publication get credit
I think it would be interesting
Obviously there would need to be some sort of two-way handshake where the author/publisher authorizes the “reprint” so to say

I just had a Thought. Obviously, we can't simply pass a law banning #X specifically from operating in the #EuropeanUnion . It would set a terrible precedent, likely wouldn't pass the courts, and wouldn't be very effective since X could just rebrand itself or something.
But we _could_ introduce, say, the "Social Media Transparency Act" which would require all social media systems operating in the European Union to either use a strict timeline, _or_ publish the precise algorithm they use to show content to their users. And if there are any variables specific to the user, their profile, their region and so forth, then users must be able to request the values of these parameters as they apply to them at any time.
And if any social media companies in the European unions do not comply... well _then_ we can fine and/or ban them!
Does this sound like a plan?

Good morning Fedi friends!
Now that my VPS is set up correctly with #YunoHost, all I have to do is select the first app to install.
I was certain I would go with #Sharkey (as I'm totally smitten with it) but I'm now having a case of cold feet and wondering if I should pick #Friendica instead.
Do I select something beautiful and fun to use... or the most advanced software (with an old UX/UI)?
I'm currently the embodiment of the hard choice meme 😅

I was going through my media presence for 2024, and got totally suprised that the interview I did with Framtida got published in March this year! I had the feeling it wasn't happening and I did not get any notification that there came any of it. 😅
I think this one goes the best into the politics of the fediverse.

Framtida is a Norwegian newsorganization that cover young culture and politics in "New-norwegian".
@jglypt@social.lol
imo if #threads want to still partake in the #fediverse, they’re going to need to allow 3rd party clients. I know they won’t since it’ll stop them from tracking, showing ads, and serving the for you algo, but I’m just reading more and more about Surf, OpenVibe, and all of these apps which need it..
@Raccoon@techhub.social
Literally do not care what people's #politics look like beyond "not a literal fascist". I don't care if you're an anarchist, a communist, a neoliberal, a member of the #DemocraticParty establishment, whatever.
As long as you are active on the #Fediverse, rather than being exclusive to #Twitter and/or #BlueSky and/or #Threads, you are taking things in the right direction. Anyone who's on here is my ally in that sense, even the people who never say anything about politics at all.
Edit:
This is also something to keep in mind when considering whether or not to block other servers or push people out of the network: we are all here to not be elsewhere.

My follows/follower ratio makes it seem like a typical Twitter fake account. FYI, it's the result of me jumping servers. My bad. Slowly unfollowing inactive accounts. So far, over 300 of them!
PS: Do check your #followers list regularly. Many re-follows have appeared way down the list, though apparently recent; perhaps their follow was slow to propagate across the #fediverse

I have been arguing similar — that the issue isn't that recommendation-engine based feeds are the problem — but that the problem is whose interests has it been designed to serve‽ — yours‽ or someone else's‽
A recommendation-engine that serves YOUR INTERESTS can be useful and desirable.

For context —
3rd party apps seemed to be part of the reason why Twitter originally became a success.
The golden-age of 3rd party app development on Twitter was (I think) from the 2006 to 2012 — when they had their open API, and freely shared the Twitter data.
Twitter started pushing out 3rd party developers after that. Twitter qualitatively changed after that.

And, hey, for the record, I left my current instance when there were reports of racism between admins and mods at Eldritch.Cafe. It sucked in many ways. I moved several times after that, and was never quite satisfied with my new servers. Insufficient federation, or old software lacking features that I liked, and so on. BUT, it also showed me what didn't suck about moving around, notably, most of my links to my followers and followees remained intact, and unexpected new connections showed up too. And then, Eldritch got their act together, admins who had fucked up apologized publicly, and those who were harmed by their actions also explained why they were cool with the apologies and the planned, announced changes. And I was able to come back!
So my advice to you, tech.lgbt mufo, is to bite the bullet and pick a new instance. Learn to be portable, that's the source of your power as a person who isn't running a fediverse server yourself! It's totally possible that tech.lgbt admins can figure themselves out too. And if not, well, you've overcome that first hurdle, you've gained a new perspective on the fediverse, and you've helped put pressure on fellow community members to do a bit better by all of us. The whole process of porting an account takes less than 10 minutes easy, 5 minutes more typically.
@reiver@mastodon.social
This is something I have seen a lot of, too.
But this is a trade-off —
Have a large set of other people's content to browse, but (potential) use up a lot of drive-space.
Or, save your drive-space, but not have other people's content to browse.
The challenge is that if you store other people's content indiscriminately from the broader Fediverse — it can be A LOT of data and take up A LOT of drive-space.

Led by @quillmatiq and @snarfed.org - A New Social is a nonprofit focused on growing people's networks, not platforms.
With a big focus on the power of connection between platforms on the open social web, A New Social's mission aligns very closely to our own.
We can't wait to work alongside Anuj and Ryan as we help more people understand the benefits of open networks and get them bridging! 🌉

Interesting story from @tedium about an extortion scheme targeting prominent personalities on Bluesky who don't own their own domain.
"Cybersquatting is not a new issue, of course, but Bluesky’s decision to tie verification to domains as social proof shows the limitations of the strategy."

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 97
A new non-profit for governance of Bridgy Fed, PeerTube releases their yearly update with a complete redesign, and the organisation behind Mammoth and sub.club winds down due to a lack of funding.
Editors note: I’ll be on holiday break for the next two weeks. The next edition of Last Week in Fediverse will be out on January 7th. Thank you for reading and supporting me in 2024!
A New Social is a new non-profit that launched today. The goal of A New Social is to build cross-protocol tools and services for the open social web. The organisation consists of Anuj Ahooja (CEO) and Ryan Barrett (CTO). The main project that they will be focused on is Bridgy Fed, the service that lets people connect their social accounts across a variety of networks and protocols.
Barrett wrote in early November about the possible futures for Bridgy Fed. Up until now, Bridgy Fed was his personal one-man side project. Conversations with other organisations like Flipboard and Meta gave Barrett a sense of urgency that the project was quickly trending towards becoming critical infrastructure for the open social web. Heated conversations earlier this year about how people should interact with the bridge (opt-in versus opt-out) also made it clear that such a tool should have cohesive governance, where Barrett writes: “it is about who makes those decisions, and how they should be made.”
Ahooja has come in as the new leader, to help build a structural organisations that can deal with the conversations around governance and decision making. Ahooja describes his vision as that of the ‘last network effect‘, which is worth reading in its entirety. In his view, the current state of the open social web is that of the exploratory phase, where neither ActivityPub nor ATProto have yet fully proven themselves at mass scale yet. Protocol bridges such as Bridgy Fed can bridge the gap: not only allows it for compatibility between platforms, it also bridges the gap in time. It allows us to commit to a platform now, without knowing for certain it the protocol that platform uses will be an important protocol in the future. This is possible because with bridged platforms and networks, you can take your own social graph with you.
In a conversation with Ahooja and Barrett, they say that people have rallied around A New Social very quickly, and that people have been very supportive of the organisation. The organisation has the support of Mastodon, Meta, Bluesky, IFTAS, SWF and Flipboard. It shows that there is a broader awareness that the open social web needs more organisations that are concerned with governance. The ATProto project of lexicon.community (not affiliated with A New Social) is another such example of people starting to work towards governance of internet infrastructure.
A New Social is looking to recruit a Board of Directors, as well as reaching out to developers to collaborate on tools and services that are needed for cross-protocol platforms. For development work, the main focus is on making the bridge more accessible and easier to understand: Barrett and Ahooja will be working on making the bridge easier to user with a cleaner UX, as well as on awareness and education what Bridgy Fed actually does. Ahooja is also clear on separating a protocol network from the platforms that make up a network. Each platform has its own culture and policies, and A New Social will be working with each individual platform on what approach to bridging fits their specific platform best.
Personally I think the fediverse has struggled for a while to make a clearer distinction between the fediverse as a single place and the fediverse as a network of different platforms. For me, the value of the fediverse is in the ability to build connecting platforms that each have their own culture, governance, moderation, and sense of place. A New Social is aware and mindful of this, and their approach of treating each platform as its own space can help further the fediverse towards a true super-network of interconnected digital places.
PeerTube v7 has officially been released, and the update brings a major redesign. Framasoft has been working on two major projects this year for PeerTube: mobile apps for Android and iOS (released last week), and a complete remodeling of the PeerTube interface. Framasoft has worked with designers for a thorough UX research, with tests and user interviews. Based on this the interface of PeerTube has been redesigned from the ground up. Framasoft has prioritised accessibility, they completed a full accessibility audit and used the findings to create the improvements and changes to the interface. Menus and pages have also been remodeled and simplified, to counteract some of the organic growth of all the options that has been build up over the years. The interface also looks a lot cleaner and calmer, with a more modern look.
As a sidenote: Framasoft says that they now refer to PeerTube servers as platforms, not instances. They give inclusion as a reason, saying that this term is easier to understand for people who are less well-versed in technology and the fediverse. I think this is a great change, and something that other fediverse software should consider as well. Platforms better communicates that each fediverse server is its own social network, that can have its own culture and governance. The value of the fediverse is that each platform can be its own separate digital space, and I find that the term platform communicates this better than instance does.
The BLVD, the organisation behind three fediverse projects, has announced that they are shutting down due to a lack of funding. The BLVD has created the Mastodon iOS app Mammoth, fediverse creator payment platform sub.club, and the moth.social Mastodon server. All three projects will be shut down at the end of January 2025. The BLVD depended on Mozilla for their funding, and Mozilla announced in September that they are shutting down their fediverse projects. In November the organisation already said that they were now operating without any funding. Any community member that is interested in taking over the maintainance of one of the projects can get in touch. Bart Decrem, the founder of BLVD, said to The Verge that sub.club had more than 150 creators on the platform.
Nomadic Identity is a mechanism that allows people to have their fediverse identity to be separate from the fediverse platform that they are using, which results them in being able to seamlessly switch their fediverse account to a different platform. The mechanism has been available in fediverse software Streams for multiple years, but it uses the fediverse protocol Nomad. The Nomad protocol has undergone some renaming (orginally Zot) over the years. Recently a new documentation website was launched for the Nomad protocol, which gives some more background information. The site also published an article explaining the concepts of Nomadic Identity.
There has been a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal for bringing Nomadic Identity to ActivityPub, and that proposal is now seeing it’s first implementation: fediverse software Mitra and Streams recently announced the first form of communications between them using the new nomadic implementation of ActivityPub. Account portability is a feature that is regularly used as an example of the valuable features that an open protocol such as ActivityPub enables, but using the actual implementation currently comes with frictions. Early adopters like the new product Weird are already thinking about offering Mitra as their fediverse platform of choice due to the new abilities that Nomadic Identity bring.
IFTAS just published their Needs Assesments report, that gives a detailed overview of the state of moderation on the fediverse. They published this report just before I send out this article, but I want to include it because I think it’s important. So here are the key findings, in IFTAS’ own words:
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!

You can't assume that when you mark a #post for #deletion that it will be #deleted across the #fediverse. Whether a post gets deleted on a remote #server is entirely up to that server.
I guarantee you there are organizations and individuals here on the Fediverse right now that are running their own #ActivityPub servers and are #archiving and #cataloging every post, and they are #ignoring any #Delete #requests.
Because when you mark a post for deletion, that's all you're doing. You're requesting the remote server to delete the post from its #database.
And nobody is required to do that.
(Though the vast majority of ActivityPub servers do.)

If you accidentally post something sensitive that you want to keep private, don't edit the post, just use "delete" or "delete & re-draft" instead.
Editing has a safety feature to prevent bait & switch abuse tactics: when a post is edited, people will still be able to browse all previous versions of it by clicking on the "edited" label.
⚠️ Deleting a post breaks all its replies, boosts, direct links etc, so only use deletion if there is a privacy issue. Editing is better otherwise.

Just announced: "A New Social", a new non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web, is now leading development of Bridgy Fed.
https://www.anew.social/hello-social-web/
Exciting stuff! Bridging is an important approach that hasn't gotten enough attention, and this work really complements the other multi-polar efforts. Original Bridgy Fed developer @snarfed.org is CTO, and @quillmatiq is the CEO and Executive DIrector.
The press release has supportive comments from @mike, Emily Liu of Bluesky, the Threads team at Meta, @andypiper of Mastodon, Evan Prodromou of @swf, and @jaz of @iftas.
Bridgy Fed has set an important precdent here by prioritizing consent with their opt-in model, and it's really paid off. In fact the threats from Bluesky's current tolerance of anti-trans harassers and the multiple datasets of scraped Bluesky data are exactly the scenarios that advocates of an opt-in approach warned about -- an opt-out approach would have left people on fedi exposed by default. So let's hope that this focus on consent doesn't get lost as things more forward!

Creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —
From a programmer's POV, for creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —
The client-side app doesn't care how the content gets into a feed
I.e., it doesn't care what algorithm you did or didn't use to create a Fediverse Custom Feed
You (the program powering the Fediverse Custom Feed) provides content — and the client-side app displays it.
Just set Actor type="Feed".

The UI/UX part of a Fediverse Custom Feed is making apps understand what to do with a Actor type="Feed" actor.
For example — when the user "Follows" an Actor type="Feed" actor, then the app could make the content from that actor show up next to the home-feed, as an alternative feed.

We already have Actor Types:

• Group
• Organization
• Person
• Service

Do you want a feed of just mutuals — you can do that with Fediverse Custom Feeds.
What about a feed showing just people you follow who do NOT post very often — you can do that with Fediverse Custom Feeds.

- Octobre 2024
Le mois du #MastoLivre puisque c'est la sortie des livres de @ploum et de @loevenbruck, deux auteurs bien présents sur le #Fediverse, chez @Alivrouvert tenu par @bookynette.
Les deux livres parlent de vélo, et rejoignent ma pile à lire tandis que je peine à avancer dans mon #veloctobre que je finis par terminer en décembre.
Depuis, j'ai déjà bien entamé #Bikepunk et j'ai sérieusement besoin d'un attrape-rêves en forme de cassette et chaîne de vélo vu le nombre de cauchemars que je fais en ce moment.
Mais je remonte la pente, à l'image de ce sticker conçu par @SuperTibaldoBike et remis par @tsadiq.

The Fediverse is unique.
My survey asked what your favorite search engine is.
51% said DuckDuckGo, 12% Startpage, 9% Ecosia and 4% Qwant. Only 6% said Google and 1% Bing. 17% said they preferred another search engine, with many mentioning Kagi and Mojeek.
This is quite different from what the market share out there is, which shows how unique you all are here in the Fediverse. You make your own choices and do not follow everyone else. Be proud.

Phanpy and GoToSocial is a killer combination.
GoToSocial has some great privacy controls, but has no front end by default. https://gotosocial.org
Phanpy, the alternative Mastodon web client, looks really sleek. https://phanpy.social
And it seems pretty easy to run them side by side.

@_elena@mastodon.social Basically, you're saying to Sharkey what I've been saying to all Misskey-type services for 2 years, only in German.
It's nice to have another comrade-in-arms who likes these services.
There's one fear I'd like to allay: that Sharkey will cease to exist. Because Sharkey is compatible with Misskey, but also with the other services of the Misskey family.
you can also import all your posts from mastdon and have them visible in your timeline again (at least this is possible in the Firefish line)
my favourite tools, apart from the antennas, include Drive, where I can also sort my images/files by folder, but also Clips, which I use as a bookmark folder and also sorts everything nicely into folders.
All great things that make life in the #fediverse easier

How long have you been using computers for?
I remember back when I was a little kid my first actual experience on a computer was on the janky XP machine I still own.
I’d play flash games and all before getting my own laptop running Windows 7 that had to get reset constantly because I don’t think anyone in my family know how to use an antivirus…

So it looks like Fediverse got its ‘starter packs’ too, similar to Bluesky’s (thanks to Anže and others).
Starter Packs are curated lists of fediverse accounts and you can follow them all at once or the selected ones. Like this one (Webcomic Artists):
I think starter packs save a lot of time, especially at the start of someone’s fediverse journey. Discovery of account and search is still somehow clunky in 2024. And there is no algorithm on fediverse to suggest you accounts to follow.
Functions I like:
I’m not sure how consensus work in the starter pack, but as it seems, it uses opt-out principle at the moment.
I quickly created 2 packs:
They’re small packs at the moment.
Re: 1. EU institutions had many more accounts half a year ago (until Apr. 2024), but they ‘successfully ended the experiment‘, only a handful of them remained. Nobody wanted to take over the management of the ‘experimental’ servers and the domain (social.network.europa.eu/@XXXX). All 20-30 or so accounts of EU institutions vanished.
Nevertheless, European Commission set-up a new server (xxx.social-network.europa.eu) and it continues its presence on fediverse.
Re: 2. EU projects is a pack of EU funded projects. Currently it includes a few Erasmus+ KA2 projects that I know firsthand.
If you think some accounts should be added to these packs, please contact me.
‘Fediverse starter pack’ is a very fresh service and I hope it will remain functional and mature over time. I hope it will be integrated in various signup pages like ‘joinmastodon’, to make fediverse experience for new users more frictionless.
Thanks to @jkmcnk, there is also a slovenian starter pack that contains various local obscure celebrities, weirdos, introverted influencers and similar fine people, created approx. 22 min. ago before this blog post:

If one is to get into blogging these days and would like to use a blogging system with Fediverse/ActivityPub integration (including commenting via Mastodon account for example)…
Which one do people currently recommended to use?
I have found Plume, which looks nicest and has quite a few instances available. but is currently not developed very actively.
There is also WriteFreely, which is similar but lacks in public instances.
Maybe Lemmy?

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the issue of #Fediverse sustainability.
Thank you @stefan for writing a superb article about this topic! (for reference: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/the-ways-we-keep-the-fediverse-sustainable/)
A question for #FediAdmins: in addition to regular donations, is it a recommended thing to set one's posts to auto-delete (after a specified time) to keep server costs down?
I'm thinking of setting my toots to auto-delete after 2 weeks for this very reason...
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe · Reply to Jürgen Hubert's post
8/ To sum it up, this is why I think that the #Fediverse as it is now is far more oligarchy-proof than #Bluesky - which, due to the current rise of #fascism around the world, is of extreme importance to me. If human civilization is to have a chance of survival in the long run, we _must_ learn how to circumvent the systems the oligarchs have control over.
And right now, the #Fediverse seems to have the best chance of doing that as far as I am concerned. So whatever we can to make it more attractive and increase its userbase, we should do.
And if you want to understand the technical details better, read @cwebber 's article which explains it far better than I ever could.
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe · Reply to Jürgen Hubert's post
7/ In contrast, the #Fediverse (including #Mastodon ) uses a "Decentralized" approach. Each node is more or less equal in function, and even if one or more of the major nodes goes down, the rest could still go on without any interruption.
(For example, I currently follow 3496 accounts, of which 555 are on Mastodon.social, the biggest instance. So losing my connection to Mastodon.social _would_ be painful, but I would still be able to maintain my connections to 85% of all the accounts I am following.)
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe
1/ Thanks to @cwebber for helping me understand the differences between the "decentralized" approach of #Bluesky and the "distributed" approach of the #Fediverse .
As it happens, I see some parallels between this and my own field - the German power and utility sector.
@jglypt@social.lol

@KinocKayfar@dragonchat.org
I think what happened with blue sky demonstrates why any platform run centrally will always fail. Since when you have a structure that's only run by a few people their likely to make decisions that go against everyone else. It's why it's better when you have more decentralized platforms like Mastodon where people can govern themselves and run their own groups, allowing the people to make the best and most glorious safe spaces imaginable rather than relying on a a group of people to do it, when they often fail.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net
The #fediverse shows that we can build a better world by ignoring clickbait, billionaires, venture capital and the growth mantra. Decentralisation leads to a better world. When you care about your neighbours, things change. I am tipsy, but I believe we are building better things, the Open (Source) Way. It'll take time. Patience and stoicism will win. There's a book hiding here, but I won''t write it. I'll continue to do. When enough people do, we win. Thanks for listening!

Back in 2022, I wrote this rather grumpy post on Mastodon, the federated social media platform.
' d='M317 381q-124 28-123-39 69 15 149 2 67-13 72-80 3-101-3-116-19-49-72-58-98-10-162 0-56 10-75 58-12 31-3 147 3 32 9 53 13 46 70 69 83 23 138-9'/%3E%3Cpath d='M360 293h-36v-93q-1-26-29-23-20 3-20 34v47h-36v-47q0-31-20-34-30-3-30 28v88h-36v-91q1-51 44-60 33-5 51 21l9 15 9-15q16-26 51-21 43 9 43 60'/%3E%3C/svg%3E)
When you click on this link - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news - your browser says "Hey! BBC! Please can I have your /news page? BTW, I was referred here by shkspr.mobi. THANKS!" This is called the "Referer" and, yes, it is mispelt.
One the one hand, sending the referer is good; it lets the linked-to server know who is linking to it. That allows them to see where traffic is coming from. On the other hand, this could be bad for much the same reason.
If you run a server anarcho_terrorists.biz, you probably don't want the FBI knowing that your members are sharing links to their pages. If you run a small personal server, you may not want anyone knowing that you personally linked to them. If you run a server for a marginalised community, you may not want a hate-site to know your members are linking to you.
But if you're a large-ish, general purpose, non-private site - like Mastodon.social - where's the harm in allowing referer headers?
Anyway, for historic reasons, Mastodon blocked the referer header. This, I believe, was sensible for smaller servers but a miss-step for larger servers. As I pointed out last week:
Two years later.
Want to know one of the major reasons Mastodon didn't catch on with journalists and large website owners?
It is *invisible* in referrer statistics.
Here's my blog from the last month.
BlueSky now sends me more traffic than Bing.
How much traffic does Mastodon send? It is impossible to know due to the "noreferrer" header in all links.
(I'm not saying your privacy isn't important. But you can't grow a community if no-one knows you exist.)
I'm not the only one to make this point - it has been a popular complaint for some time.
A few days ago, Mastodon changed to allow this to be configurable.
This is excellent news. Website owners will be able to (somewhat) accurately see how much traffic Mastodon sends them. That way they can determine if there is a suitably large audience to engage with on the Fediverse.
It is, of course, slightly more complicated than that!
Nevertheless, I'm delighted with this change. Hopefully it will allow the Fediverse to grow and attract more users.

https://wirelesswire.jp/2024/12/87795/
これ、気持ちわかるなあ。
（自分はもっと前の「サードパーティー開発者に対して予告無しに API を遮断した」あたりからもう折れていたけど）
イーロン・マスクのこのリンク含む投稿についての表明よりずっと前（買収前？）から、仕組み上はリンクのある投稿の優先順位は下げられていたみたいな話も見たような気もするけど、そもそも Web のプラットフォームで外部リンク推奨しないなんてはっきり言われると「ああ、やっぱり #X なんて、もはやそういう場所だよねー」という気持ちはより強くなるよな…
広告目線とかで見れば #X に限らず自分のドメインから離脱させたくないのはある意味では当然なんだけど、この記事にも書いてある通り政治にも大きな影響を持つようになった #SocialMedia #SNS に対して、そういう広告ビジネス的な発想で「外部リンク非推奨もまあ仕方ないというか当然だよね、無料で使ってるわけだし」みたいにプラットフォームのビジネスに妙におもねった理解をユーザーが示してしまうのも問題なんじゃないかと思ってて、とくに #SocialMedia みたいな性質のものは、ビジネス的にそのプラットフォームが成り立つかどうかって話の前にユーザーがそこでどんなコミュニケーションをとってどんな気持ちになって何を得るのか、みたいなことが先にあるべきのような気がするんだけど、最近はそれが逆転して、プラットフォームの存続のためにユーザーは課金して対戦型コミュニケーションを勝ち残るための武装するのである！ネガティブであろうがなんだろうがインプレッション至上主義、群雄割拠の対戦型マーケティングプラットフォーム！みたいになっちゃっているように見える。
そういう意味で、オープンな技術の上で小さなプラットフォーム同士がつながる #Fediverse は、#BlueSky のように過去の #Twitter やいまの #X の規模のプラットフォームにそのまま取って代わる力はなくても、「次の #Twitter」ではないなにか、になる可能性はむしろ #BlueSky よりあるんじゃないかと個人的には思っているけど、この記事は全くもって #Fediverse や #Mastodon への言及もなければ #Threads の 連携の話もなくて、この文脈の記事としてはとても残念（書き直し！

New Instance!!!!!!
People on Mastodon seem to like introductory thingys so:
- I use Fedora 41
- I am the kind of person who self-hosts a Mastodon instance
- I code in my free time (I am the kind of person who self-hosts a Mastodon instance)

I like the Actor-Model.
A friend who is a Scala programmer introduced it to me.
I used it when programming in — Erlang and Scala. Later, I implemented the Actor-Model in Go. I even implemented Erlang's supervision-tree in Go.
ActivityPub is maybe better understood through the lens of the Actor-Model — rather than a HTTP REST API.
However —

Mastodon should NOT count hash-tags towards its character-limit.
Doing so — counting hash-tags towards its character-limit — discourages the usage of hash-tags.
Which makes posts less searchable and discoverable. And hinder ad-hoc community formation.

Ob das jetzt "Follower-Vorschläger", "Starter-Packs" oder "Hier, schau mal her!" heißt, ist mir ziemlich egal.
Und nein, ich halte das nicht für ein Problem von #Mastodon, sondern für ein generelles #Fediverse-Problem, insbesondere auf kleinen oder single-user-Instanzen.

Starter-Packs im #Fediverse sind Klasse.
Aber sie kommen oft zu spät.

Last week I installed a Bluesky Personal Data Server on a VPS and made an account.
Having a PDS on Bluesky gave me a different domain for my handle than the default, but you can do that anyways without a PDS.
Unlike having a Mastodon server, a PDS on Bluesky has no rules, no moderation, no trends, no space for community to happen. It felt like I was hosting a black box on my own server for no reason.
So I deleted my account and also the PDS.

The Fediverse is vast. It's like a space with planets and keeps on expanding. Here's the thing, even if it would stop expanding and all the planets and stars and other magnificent things were to disappear, I'd still be happy on my own piece of rock, shouting to the void.

The fediverse has no central authority — which brings both challenges and opportunities for how it's governed. For Dot Social, @mike spoke with @kissane and @darius, two of the smartest people working on this, about the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on fediverse work, the "Xodus," what needs to be done next, and how to fund and sustain better networks for humans.

A de-centralized, federated network, using a common, NON-COMMERCIAL, #FOSS protocol, such as the #fediverse can actually save lives and fight the onslaught of dezinformatsiya.
#Meshtastic #GMRS devices were used to keep people connected, sending messages through #ActivityPub based clients, during catastrophic weather events which knocked standard comms networks down.
#DTBO socmedia (such as #BlueSky, #Threads, #Telegram, etc) were actively used to disseminate #dezinformatsiya, during those catastrophic events, and other emergencies.
Taking the internet back from walled-garden, corporate, proprietary networks can mean the difference between life or death for many.
Government should not be owned, operated or focused on corporations, but be by People, for People.

This is a nice new Mastodon feature —
An article written off of the Fediverse can credit a Fediverse account as its author.
With this, the author's Fediverse account would show up and be linked to when the URL to the article is posted on the Fediverse.
But there is a challenge — people can lie about who the author is.
Mastodon's approach to dealing with this is — you can create a list hosts that you let this auto-linking work with.

Hi #Fediverse, I've got myself into a bit of a bind 😊
I have been working with a local primary school to try to get them to adopt the fediverse either through Pixelfed or Bookwyrm.
However it's become clear that this exposes the users to too much risk if I use an existing instance.
So....if you were to be setting up a fediverse instance for a class in a primary school, what would you choose (Pixelfed, Bookwyrm, Mastodon etc) and has anybody done this before?
Many thanks for guidance!

A Starter-Follow-Pack of people who make the technology of and for the Fediverse.

Although, only speculation, I notice this individual seems less like a prospecting journalist, and more like an advertising placeholder.
They made a similar post two (2) months ago, even starting it as their introduction to the Fediverse (see screenshot).
I am not a journalist, or inspiring blogger, but I would presume in two (2) months time, the article would have enough shared options to go to story. I also find it odd that they praise Sharkey in both post, as oppose to giving no opinion, and just asking people what they think.
That said, when I was confronting Sharkey, while still hanging out in their Discord Server, I learned they do use alternative accounts to help paint their narrative.
Again, my theory is only speculation, based on my experience and dealings with Sharkey. It just seems to fit their track record. And if in this instance, I am wrong, I apologize, but would again, point out that this is something they (Sharkey Development) have done in the past.

@_elena@mastodon.social @phaedral@mastodon.social I invite you to check my post history.
In it (my post history), you will discover I once sounded much like yourself, praising and even promoting Sharkey. I would go so far as to say, I once used to talk about Sharkey, more than the Sharkey Development Team.
Then I learned, from experience, the downside of Sharkey.
For example, the development tricked its user base to donate 2,000+ for their own dedicated server, only to use that server as their personal computer (playing Minecraft), and four (4) months later taking that server offline, and brining it home as their personal PC. The "Join Sharkey" website was never brought back online, and remains offline, even today (except for an out of date Wiki hidden in a subdomain).
You will also note how toxic and hateful the Sharkey Development can be. Often spending a good portion of their time trolling users (especially anyone who calls then out on their nonsense or past exploits). You may even discover, whenever they are backed into a corner, they will claim you are homophobic. I again, invite you to see my post history, going as far back as May 30, 2023, when I first joined the Fediverse (I have always supported, equality and human rights).
There are many Fedi developments that embody the spirit of the Fediverse, and Sharkey is not one of then.

Did you know you can get more low quality content, more unoriginal content, more sensitive content and more misinformation? If you feel you are not getting enough of it?
The problem with algorithmic content is that it tends to promote stuff like this. I would like no low-quality content, no unoriginal content and clearly no misinformation.
If I was getting only what my friends write, I would get very little of this stuff. Would that not be nice.

New: Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?
Threads' most recent update allows people on Threads to follow people on the #fediverse, albeit with some significant caveats.
But one simple question has bugging me for a long while: Why? Why is Meta adding interoperability to their platform?
https://fediversereport.com/why-is-meta-adding-fediverse-interoperability-to-threads/
@LaurensHof@fediversereport.com
Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?
Threads has taken a significant step towards their fediverse integration this week: people can now follow fediverse accounts from Threads. Although caveats apply, it marks a milestone in the process, and it has taken Meta over a year and a half to get here. This milestone provides a moment to reflect on what and why Meta is working towards.
When Threads first announced that they would implement ActivityPub, one of the crucial questions was: ‘Why?’ Why does the company that mastered the concept of ‘walled gardens’ suddenly care about decentralisation and interoperability? Why does one of the world’s richest companies that has made a gazillion dollars by keeping people locked onto their platform suddenly care about giving people freedom?
The Verge asked this of Mosseri, ‘why are you doing this at all?’ Mosseri spends almost his entire answer on account portability for creators, saying that Threads will be a more compelling place for creators if they have the safety of knowing they are able to take their audience with them if they decide to leave Threads one day. A short sentence at the end of his answer is more pragmatic, saying that Threads is ‘trying to lean into where the world is going’. Still, Mosseri is clear in his answer: the reason for Threads to implement ActivityPub is so that they can implement account portability and people can leave Threads more easily if they want to. In another interview, Zuckerberg is also asked a similar question, and he gives a similar answer, saying: “So, in a way, that actually makes people feel more confident investing in a system if they know that they have freedom over how they operate.”
So here we have a clear answer by the two top people of Meta. Why does Threads implement ActivityPub? Because they think that people are more likely to choose Threads when they know they have the freedom to move to a different platform.
Reality is quite different, however. It’s been a year and a half since Threads first started working on implementing ActivityPub, and only just this week they finally released the first version of an implementation that even remotely resembles two-way federation. The amount of exceptions and barriers to actually using federation between Threads and the rest of the fediverse are significant however. Most importantly, you cannot search for people on the fediverse from Threads. So while you can theoretically follow fediverse people now, you immediately run into the problem of finding the people you want to follow.
If you want to follow someone on the fediverse from Threads, you first have to enable fediverse integration and click to a scary warning. Then you have to find a post that has a like or reply by a fediverse account, click on that account and hit follow from there. This means that interaction between the fediverse and Threads is completely serendipitous, depending on which fediverse accounts you happen to come across on Threads.
But this is not the only strange thing about Threads’ fediverse integration: there is a 15 minute delay before posts from Threads appear in the fediverse, preventing any real-time communication between the network. It also kills off the potential to use the connection for sport events or breaking news, where the delay of 15 minutes is highly impactful.
Meta does not provide statistics about how many people use the fediverse integration on Threads, nor does their implementation of ActivityPub include the common NodeInfo endpoint. NodeInfo is used by most ActivityPub software to provide more information about the server. However, we can get quite some information about the actual usage of Threads’ fediverse integration, and that is by looking at the mastodon.social server.
Mastodon.social ‘knows’ about 21k Threads accounts, as per early Nov 2024. For a Mastodon server to ‘know’ about a Threads account, it means that any post of that Threads account has appeared on a timeline of a mastodon.social user, or someone on mastodon.social has searched (not necessarily followed) for that Threads account.
Mastodon.social is not the entire fediverse, but does account for a quarter of all active users on the fediverse. It stands also in contrast with other fediverse servers, who regularly block access to Threads: 9 out of the 20 most active fediverse servers have cut connections to Threads.
So while we cannot know the exact number of Threads accounts who use the fediverse connection, we can make an educated guess based on the Mastodon.social statistics. Personally I think it is likely that less than 50k Threads users have enabled federation. The Threads-fediverse connection is not particularly popular either in the other direction: Barack Obama is the most popular account on Threads, and only 3400 followers of his 6.2 million total followers come from the fediverse.
The fediverse integration for Threads is not available for EU users. Meta has been slower to roll out Threads to European users in general. Threads launched in July 2023, and only became available to people in the EU in December 2023. News reports blame the delay of launching Threads in the EU on the complexities of the DMA, with Mosseri blaming “the complexities with complying with some of the laws coming into effect next year”.
But that is for Threads in general. For the fediverse integration, to the best of my knowledge (please share sources) Threads has not given a direct explanation as to why it is not yet available. During an AMA in August 2024, Threads simply stated: “We’re working on bringing a federated Threads experience to the EU as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience with us 🫶”.
While compliance with European regulation is surely not easy, ActivityPub and the fediverse are also not incompatible with compliance either. The European Data Protection Supervisor was the first European agency to launch a fediverse platform for EU organisations with EU Voice. When their pilot project ended in spring 2024, the EDPS concluded: “The EDPS’ pilot project of EU Voice and EU Video proves that community-driven and decentralised social media platforms may prioritise users’ fundamental rights to privacy and personal data, and foster the EU’s digital sovereignty.”
Just to point out the obvious: Meta is a company with an incredible amount of resources, and employs highly talented people. When the company feels competitive pressure, they are capable of moving incredibly quickly. Threads now feels competitive pressure from Bluesky, and it took Threads less than two weeks to build Starter Packs, Custom Feeds, a better search tool, shift stance on default feeds, and mimic Bluesky’s UI. That is all to say: the speed at which Meta delivers a product is deliberate. It is not an accident, and Meta is certainly not a company that is resource-constrained. If Meta wants to do something, it will do something.
The European Union has made a big deal of their Digital Markets Act (DMA), that aims to increase competition in European digital markets, and targets the Big Tech platforms. The DMA takes aim at gatekeepers in a variety of markets, from search engines to browsers to communications platforms. It gradually rolled out in 2023 and 2024, to much hype about how we could totally have interoperable communications platforms when WhatsApp would become interoperable.
It is now the end of 2024, and WhatsApp is now compliant with the DMA. There are zero apps that people in the EU can use that natively interoperate with WhatsApp. This is not for a lack of technology: I have seen demos this year that showed this capability, fully functional, I’ve held the phone. The technology exists. There is a simple reason why it is not available in the EU, and that is because Meta does not want it to be available.
A blog post by Matrix explains the situation in detail, but the crux of the matter is: Meta has interpreted the DMA in such a way that every other app that wants to connect with WhatsApp has to show proof for each user that they are physically geolocated in the EU. It goes against the mission of Matrix to track their users like that, and the same goes for other chatting apps. So we end up in a situation where the DMA is in effect, Meta is compliant, and nothing has changed. Meta applied the rules in a way that people could theoretically interoperate with WhatsApp. However, the practical barriers are significant enough that Meta is comfortable knowing likely nobody will be able to implement the interoperability in practice.
To summarise:
Based on the above, I do not believe Mark Zuckerberg when, talking about decentralised social networks, he says that he has “always believed in this stuff.” I think there is another explanation as to why Threads is building a fediverse integration, but not rolling it out in the EU.
My take is that Threads is likely using the fediverse integration as a future bargaining chip with the EU. The EU is pushing towards more interoperability with the Digital Markets Act, and on the matter of social networking has designated Meta as a Gatekeeper with Facebook and Instagram (but not Threads!). Meta has shown that they are not a particularly huge fan of the additional interoperability requirements, to put things mildly. When the EU will push harder on the DMA interoperability requirements for Facebook and Instagram, Meta now has something to show the EU: “Look at how difficult this is! Give us more time, and make the requirements less stringent. We can totally do interoperability, look Threads in the rest of the world, just not in the EU with all your complicated regulations”.
I’ll be the first to point out that this is speculation. But I have a hard time coming up with a better answer as to why Threads is building the fediverse integration. There are few people who make use of the feature, and it does not seem to be contributing to growth. Threads is not even bothering to build it in such a manner that aligns with their stated goal of providing account portability. So why does this feature exist? Until I have a clearer answer, I personally find it hard to cheer on Meta and celebrate the Threads-fediverse connection as a win for the open social web.

They help new users find people to follow — so they don't have an empty home-feed. But they also help existing users find more people to follow.

I have good news and bad news. Our Call for Participation for the Social Web track at FOSDEM 2025 was extremely successful; we had almost 40 submissions of great talks about Free and Open Source software for the Fediverse.
The bad news is that we’ve got only a 4 hours of time at FOSDEM, and we’ve been unable to allocate more time for the track.
So, right now, I’m looking for space in Brussels for additional space for an offsite event — “Social Web After Hours”, let’s call it — to run on Friday night Jan 31 or Sunday night Feb 2.
If you’re aware of a meeting space in Brussels, close to the centre or to the FOSDEM venue, that would accommodate an audience of 50-100 people and has screens for presentations, available for maybe 2 hours, please let me know. It would be great to have some Social Web discussions on the FOSDEM fringe.

Hi all. Do you have $25 for my local shelter that helps people fleeing gender-based violence (Sage Haven Society dot org)?
Last year I only used #Mastodon and email for fundraising and my Mastodon friends alone raised over $200 of my $1000!
I'll just be using Mastodon and the #Fediverse for social media! Please consider donating $25 (CAD) at the link:

If you can't donate right now, #PleaseBoost!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

I'm *finally* starting to understand what people mean when they say picking a server is difficult. Unfortunately, you won't find these explanations in blogs and otherwise because people can't articulate the below. Why? I dunno, but after years of hearing the below, it *finally* clicked after someone *finally* explained it to me instead of saying fuck you all nerds!
Firstly, there isn't enough info about servers on the Join Mastodon pages. It gives barely any information and doesn't give a preview of the server, just a small and tiny space to learn about a server and even then that is incomplete. For example, how many polls can we have? How many poll questions can we have? What's the character limit? Can I preview the local timeline before joining? Not unless you're using an app like Mona or something. If you can do this on desktop, how do you do it?
If Join Mastodon isn't providing the information you need, how do you find out where to go to get better server information since Join Mastodon doesn't link to other directories.
You *can* get a lot of info about a server but you'd have to know to use a URL like https://<instance>/api/v1/instance and that's nowhere on Join Mastodon, at all.
Secondly, if a person decides to shut down their server, exports aren't emailed to users. A user would need to know when a server was shutting down and then they have to back it up. How can you move all your followers if you wake up one morning and your server is just shut down?
Since servers are shutting down, how do I know what server to pick before it shuts down? How will I know it's shutting down and where do I go to find this information logged out?
Third, how do you know how well your moderators act on requests? Where do you get this information? If so, how do you get it while logged out?
There are more, but that's just only some of the problems that haven't been addressed yet, if even at all that was **finally** explained to me, after years of telling us it's hard without explaining *how* it's hard!

If you see this on Bluesky, could you make some sort of reaction?
Ditto, if it hits your feed on Mastodon

The #Fediverse plugin for #WordPress is rather annoying.
If you update a picture in a blog entry on WP, it will just post this picture as a new post on the Fedi account.
I mean: It would make some sense to post the whole blog entry anew.
Also, to do nothing at all.
But just an image without context? Seems weird to me.

@developerjustin I'd keep it simple:
A Verizon subscriber can make a phone call to a T-Mobile subscriber.
An Outlook user can send an e-mail to a Gmail user.
A Bank of America customer can withdraw cash from a TD Bank ATM.
So isn't it weird that on social media sites you can see posts only from other users on the same site?
ActivityPub and the fediverse fix that.

I’m doing a training next month on decentralized social media, #fediverse, etc. for a group that isn’t entirely tech-focused. Some tech, some creative, some finance, etc.
What are the best #Mastodon and #ActivityPub explainers or resources you’ve seen on the web?
If you could hand someone a single resource to explain the idea of federation to someone who is not technical and has no prior knowledge, what would it be?
@onepict@chaos.social
I really enjoyed reading this @APC interview with @Pouhiou .
@peertube is an enormous undertaking. The team is very small, yet many of us post video and livestream on the #fediverse using Peertube.
I find myself in agreement with many of the points brought up in the interview about politics and the mechanics of community with how we appeal to the general public. Also that we need to listen to their needs.

#Fediverse とか #Mastodon の技術的なイメージをわかりやすく説明するのに、よくメールに例えた例があるけど、技術的な意味だけじゃなくユーザーにとってもこういう#SNS #SocialMedia って、いまのメールくらい個人的なものなんじゃないか、というかそういうプライベートなものでいいのでは、みたいな気持ちが自分の中でだんだん強まってきている。
もちろん、公開設定で投稿すれば投稿は誰でも見られるものになるしそういう意味でプライベートではないし、公共スペースみたいな側面はあるんだけど。
なんか、#Fediverse とかってよく、収益性が低いから永続性がないとか、設計的に規模が大きくなったら無理が出てくるとか、そういう将来不安みたいなことがネガティブに言われがちな気がしていて、それはたぶん指摘されていることは間違いではない（んだろう）と思う反面、なんかモヤモヤした気持ちにもなって、それってもしかしたら「収益性がなくても、規模が小さくても、そこにいる人たち（自分も含めて）がハッピーなら良いんじゃない？ #SNS なんてそんなもんでいいんじゃない？ 」という気持ちが自分の何処かにあったのかも しれない:tony_normal:
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net
最近（というほど最近でもないかもしれないけど）#VivaldiSocial に日本語アカウントが増えてきてる気がしてて、個人的に興味のある方とかをフォローさせていただいて、おかげさまで自分のホームタイムラインもいい感じに賑わってきて、たのしい
#Twitter からこっちをメインにしてから 2 年経った今、ふと思い返すと、最初はなんとなく当時の #Twitter にくらべて人が少ない感じがあって「もっと #Mastodon #Fediverse にみんな来てくれればいいのに」という気持ちがあったけど、よく考えたら自分が #Twitter やり始めた時だってみんながみんな #Twitter やってるわけじゃなかったし、ただそこに面白い人とか興味のある話題があったから楽しかったわけで、なんでいつの間にか自分は場所の大きさ・人数の大きさにこだわるようになったんだろう、とおもった。
プラットフォームとしては、大きければそれだけ影響力持っていると周りに誇示できるし、そこで広告ビジネスをやるならなおのこと、人数が多いに越したことはないんだろうけど、自分のようなモチベーションで #SNS やりたいユーザーにとって、人数が大きいことってそんなにメリットないのではないかとすら思えてきた。

Hey all..
What's the best way to fund a service like #Bandwagon?
I strongly believe that the #Fediverse needs a sustainable funding model to be competitive with BlueSky, Xitter, and Facebook. More than just donations and mutual aid, people should be able to make careers on the Fediverse.
I'm reevaluating how I'll pay for bandwagon.fm in the long term. And I want to make something that's still "free forever"
Do you think there's a place for the #Freemium Fediverse?
@Thelonious08@mastodon.social
Some on Mastodon really want Quote-Tweet capability.
Others say "No! Never! That feature is used for abuse!"
Bluesky's nuclear block however makes the whole discussion moot.
There's even a milder "detach my post from this quote-tweet" option.

My bio says mostly what I'm about I'm a dad, #devops engineer turned #sre manager. Still trying to figure out what flavor of #neurodivergent I am. Definitely #ADHD, maybe #AudHD...I'm still figuring this out. I always refer to my kiddo as The Zergling as I want them to have a choice about whether their life is on the internet or not. I generally write about #technology, #bigotry, #ttrpg, etc. I play #ffxiv in my free time, which unfortunately is in limited supply. Anyhoo, welcome to my new profile and new instance!

@box464@mastodon.social
Threads takes another step forward today and allows you to follow fediverse accounts...with some major stipulations.
There's no search capability. Instead, you have to find a reply or like that a federated account created, view their profile, and follow from there.
So sure, you can follow fediverse accounts, but this greatly reduces the scope of discovery.
Curious if fediverse accounts can be included in their upcoming public lists feature (starter kits)?
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
Threads is mocking AP users at this point.😒
Threads users can now "follow" Fediverse users that have replied to a post already existing on threads.
-Cant search for Fediverse users and follow them normally.
-Cant see Fediverse posts if they're not a reply, even if you follow.
-Cant reply or mention a Fediverse user

Having to make one HTTP to WebFinger to resolve a Fediverse ID (such as "＠joeblow＠example·com"), and then make another HTTP request to get the activity document ("application/activity+json") — adds an extra HTTP request.

Their reason (for wanting to replace WebFinger):
“While useful, Webfinger is not part of the ActivityPub specification”
Why does that matter?
Having said that, (I do think) there some issues with WebFinger that could motivate one to replace it.
But that would mean that — any replacement MUST address these issues.

Time Travel: obscure & cryptic little ad in Artforum Magazine from 45 years ago proves more relevant today than back in 1980.
#Scientific #research, #spiritual #quest, or #conceptual #art, it's an invitation to make contact with Time Travelers — or Visitors from the Future(s) — at what some call a landing reception. Today, the ongoing work of The Krononaut Moon Project continues at full steam on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.
🌠 🐘 🛸
The historic ad appeared in the magazine's 1980 Jan issue, announcing a gathering to occur two years later on 1982 Mar 09, inviting #Krononauts or #TimeTravelers to beam down to #Baltimore #MD #US. The hundreds of attendees at the night's festivities were documented by a #NYTimes #newspaper reporter. Later, others would organize their own inter-dimensional meet-ups in #Perth #AU, #MIT #US, and #Cambridge #UK. (All were landing receptions of type-1.0. See links below & on our other @KronoMoon pages for details.)
The Artforum ad can be found in #library collections and on the "Time Travel" page of #Wikipedia.

Baltimore's event was timed for a full #Moon & a rare #planetary alignment in 1982, known to #astronomers as a #syzygy. It was the prototype for today's more evolved type-2.0 "experimentations, observations & celebrations" taking place under the shadow of the #TotalLunarEclipse — the night of the #KrononautMoon. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in 2025 & 2026, with the next one coming up on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, barely months away.
❛❛ On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse,
Time Travelers descend in their space-time ships. ❜❜
All sentient beings are welcome to join us in connecting with the #cosmos, the #multiverse, and your #past & #future #selves. Even folks who gripe that this is utter absurdity are invited (despite the #thinking of a few enlightened #quantum #physicists). Or, you might choose to spend a peaceful evening by yourself under the #stars, on a #sacred #mountaintop, at the #beach, or in your own #backyard. The more diverse are these experimental approaches, the greater the likelihood of meaningful contact. Or, you could bring along your friends & colleagues, your grandparents & grandkids, your #CatsOfMastodon & #DogsOfMastodon (and don't forget a #camera for lots of @KronoMoonPhotos). Watch the skies for #UFOs, #UAP, or a #signal from the #beyond. Who can know who might show up? The #fullMoon will be shining bright on that night, before it goes dark, and then shines bright again, all in an hour or so. Participants will be contributing to the greater body of Community Time Travel Research. Become a fellow #MoonWatcher on 2025 March 14, wherever you are.

Yes, I know.
"Pleasantville" was a sarcastic comment on the steady drip of posts I see daily remarking how the #Fediverse feels oh so pleasant, cozy, intimate, etc. Many of them routinely get a good number of boosts and likes. And most of them get multiple replies repeating the same sentiment in different configurations of words. It feels incestuous.
Seems too many people here feel the pressure to cosplay "pleasantville". That itself is a form of thought policing.

Yes, I agree with both of you.
Will the #Fediverse ever grow into a vibrant, scintillating organism of overlapping communities, each with a diversity of voices? Seems very unlikely to me.
The existing Fediverse is no dream, but I can sense the life draining out of even this variant.
It will soon turn into a tiny suburban pleasantville of clannish white people.

December 3, 2024 is #GivingTuesday, one day during the holiday season for contributing to non-profits as “an expression of mutuality, solidarity, and reciprocity.” For those of us who benefit from the hard work of volunteers and non-profits on the Fediverse, it’s a great day to give back and support their work.
Donating to the server that your account is on is always a great choice, but there are plenty of other organizations working to support the Fediverse. This is a starter list of possible places to apply your donations; please comment with suggestions for orgs or people to donate to (including your own or yourself!).
Finally, donating to the Social Web Foundation is easy and tax-deductible. Your donation supports our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.

Someone created a list of all the JSON-LD properties used in the Fediverse:
(I haven't tried confirming the accuracy of this list. But, it is interesting.)
@reiver@mastodon.social
GoToSocial has a JSON-LD namespace:

@apzpins@mstdn.games
Back in the days when I first looked at joining the #fediverse and Mastodon, I was considering on setting up my own instance, but before I got around to it, I found mstdn.games and that pretty much took care of the problem.
I've been looking for a place to stash my #pinball videos as Mastodon, Instagram and the likes are great for showing what's current but not that great for a history of stuff that stays relevant.
That got me into looking at #Peertube and similarly to Mastodon, looking at existing instances but couldn't really find something where I belonged. Fine, I'll run my own then since I have a place for it.
Setting up the software was pretty trivial and now my still largely unthemed instance is finally up and running.
My aim is to store all the actually produced videos there, so all the explainer series shorts and hopefully upcoming deep dive videos too. It's going to be interesting to see how this thing works in the long run.
Anyway, it's live and you'll find it here:

This is brilliant, it distills a lot of socio-technical (and political) problems with #Mastodon. Thank you so much for sharing.
I looked at Naunihal Singh’s timeline, he seems hardly active nowadays.
I too have practically given up on the #Fediverse. I mostly lurk, very rarely I post. For a while, I used to prolifically boost and like. Now even that seems pointless.
(Had forgotten to boost/like your replies to Elena, you were blunt yet remarkably polite and kind, done now.)
@reiver@mastodon.social
How much Fediverse software can read the expanded form of JSON-LD?
Or are they making hard-coded assumptions about what the JSON names will be?
I.e.,:
"indexable" : true
Versus:
"http;//joinmastodon·org/ns#indexable" : true
@reiver@mastodon.social
In some ways, I think it might have been "better" if the Fediverse didn't use JSON-LD and instead just used URLs as key names.
I.e., if it didn't use the "＠context" stuff.
"＠context" adds a certain type of complexity.

や の弱いところを肯定的に捉えすぎてる偏った意見かもしれない。
自分自身、いまは #X アカウントも削除してしまったし #BlueSky も今のところアカウントは作らずに見送って、をこの #VivaldiSocial だけをほぼ唯一のメインの #SocialMedia アカウントとして2年近く使っていて、#Threads もアカウントは作ったものの 連携を有効にしているアカウントだけ（それももう100アカウント以上はフォローはしている）をここ からリストにまとめて覗き見しているくらいなので、見方によっては偏っているんだろうなという自覚もある。
でも、ユーザー数の多い場所でたくさんの意見をみていたら偏っていないということになるのか、どんな規模のサービス常駐していようが、そもそも世界には国の検閲をかいくぐって特定の Web サービスにアクセスする必要がある人もいれば、自分から Web サービスに距離を置く人だっているし、#SocialMedia みたいなものを見たり投稿したりしている時点で偏りのないスタンスなんて存在しないんじゃないか、という気持ちもある。だったら自分の偏りに自覚的になった上で自分とは違う景色が見えている人の意見とかを目にするほうがまだ健全なんじゃないか、みたいなことも思っている。極論かもしれないけど
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net · Reply to GENKI's post
自分も #Mastodon な #VivaldiSocial に 2 年前に移り住んでから、#Mastodon というか #Fediverse 全体を対象に検索できないこと、心理的なハードルを感じていて。
その時はいま以上に の検索は機能が貧弱で、もうちょっとどうにかならないかなーと思っていた んだけど、
その後、 の検索がオプトインとはいえ機能が向上したり、逆に #Twitter は恣意的なスパム判定（ など当時の代替サービスのドメインが危険なアドレスとしてフラグが表示されたり投稿できなくなったり）、サードパーティーのアプリが何の通告もなしに急に API 止められたり、検索とかインプレッションのアルゴリズムもいろいろと個人的には好意的に捉えられないことがいろいろあった（単純なインプレッション数がマネタイズできてしまう仕組みは特に #X みたいなプラットフォームにとってはほんと良くないと思っている）というなかで、
そもそも #SNS で検索するだけで世の中の意見やトレンドを全文検索できているような感覚そのものも、幻想だったなーというふうに思うようになったところがある。
逆に、自分がいるサーバーが知る範囲の投稿しか見えない は、必然的に自分のアカウントから見えてるユーザーやクラスターの属性に意識的になるし、特定のサーバーを見に行けば雰囲気の違いを楽しめるという点で、むしろ適度に連合して適度に分断しているのは良い面もあるなと思うようになった、というのがここ最近、という感じ。

The Fediverse's usage of rel-self in WebFinger, to point to an ActivityPub Activity file (application/activity+json), seem different than how Atom feeds uses rel-self.
The semantics seem different.
(I am assuming ActivityPub borrowed rel-self from Atom feeds.)

The disgusting attitude comes through even in the choice of analogies. There is no awareness of their own privilege. Their contempt, for people who cannot afford “organic, homemade food”, and whose palates “have been trained on a diet of junk food”, is palpable.
That these kind of posts routinely get enough boosts and likes to go viral on the #Fediverse tells us what kind of userbase dominates the discourse here.
@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post
To this #brown person from the #GlobalSouth, the blog's take is nauseating. (That the global south is entirely absent in the "explore" sections on Mastodon servers is the context for my feeling.)
The "culture of the fediverse" blog linked in the above post is worse. There they actually talk about finding "my people" on the Fediverse.
#Fediverse posts like these two are white people high-fiving "no darkies here" among themselves.

Mastodon (possibly) getting a dedicated Trust and Safety role restores some of my hope for the future of the fediverse.
I think the team has been pulled into too many directions by people asking for some really great and important features, but if you build a network where people don't feel safe, there soon won't be anyone to use those features.
This is a step in the right direction

Regarding:
“I hope that Mastodon itself leans into a more plugable architecture: enabling alternative UX to plug in, allowing alternative services to plug in and offer other functionality across servers. That could enable faster evolution of key parts of Matodon while also allowing the core product to evolve at its own pace.”
I strongly agree with this. And have been arguing this for years now. But for all Fediverse software.
@reiver@mastodon.social
“So in one way it is a “format war” like VHS/Beta and for now Threads/Mastodon/etc are on one side, BlueSky on the other. But I actually think and hope that ATProto and Activitypub build out more and more interoperability, so it all becomes like open email: and no-one much cares if it is pop3 protocol or imap protocol and eventually it all just works as one big “open social web.”

If you take a closer look at one of the bots and want to know, for example, who its 5 followers are, then after two clicks you will come to such a page https://activitypub.awakari.com/actor here you then follow the link under the category " following: https://activitypub.awakari.com/following " Oh I see the first 10 users, interesting isn't it? With nice links to click on and then I can browse through your profile. The 10 users are arranged numerically and alphabetically upwards and if I now go under the category "next: https://activitypub.awakari.com/following?cursoru003dhttps%3A%2F%2F15-15-15.social%2Fusers%2Fcasdeiro {ooops obviously the tenth (9:) user account on the list} click here are the next 10 in numerical/alphabetical ascending order Users and so on If you follow this a little further and browse through the followers of the listed users you might notice that there are many politically left-leaning and Democrats as well as gay communities and LGBT+ friendly accounts You're probably happy that there are so many friendly people here in the Mastoversium... but is there something ringing? Are they Christmas bells or more of an alarm? "https://activitypub.awakari.com/actor (the starting page of this 'search-machine')" There are two references given above "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" and "https://w3id.org/security/v1" on their Pages in turn contain information about apparently alive people. Do they know that? And are they committed to what is happening? And if they really allow Awakari to do this, will they watch closely what is happening? Maybe you'll take a closer look now and tell me what you think about it. So far I'm still missing the transparency on the part of Aktivaitypup and Mastodon why awakari/akurilov in moments of relative silence namely, on Thanksgiving appears suddenly at the door with an expanding fleet .
Are we worthy of a decent answer?
If you know more please reply.
I will dig deeper on.

what is going on #activitypup ? can anyone tell me something about it? What's up with the number of automated accounts that are using the bot software "Awakari", which is suspected of scraping, crawling, snooping, #awakari and which I couldn't find an entry for in our search mask just 24 hours ago, which is increasing every hour now .. ?
If you have an open account and don't have new followers to request, then please count on one of these "Thanksgiving guests" and let's assume that after digesting your posts, replies and following turkeys and pies they will multiply in the #Fediverse
I would be very happy to receive well-documented answers. So far I have found that the name Awakari and the unannounced approach by #Mastodon and via activitypup are causing some users considerable discomfort. So far I can't find any transparency here, what is Aktivitypup actually doing? Does anyone of you know that? and by you I don't mean the developer of this software! But you. .. .

Gigabrain idea: Fork #bluesky client app (which is a single codebase for web and mobile) so that it fetches and shows #fediverse #Mastodon posts as well.
No bridging would be necessary. This would be like using single email client app to handle multiple inboxes.

@davidbisset@phpc.social
I enjoyed https://mastodon.social/@_elena take on #Bluesky. Most agree on its weaknesses - “it’s like the Impossible Burger” vs fast food of Twitter, TikTok, etc. is apt in context.
“I wouldn’t want tens of millions of new people suddenly landing in the #Fediverse and changing its culture.”
It is the most… tactful… way I have heard so far of the superior mindset I’ve seen expressed here and that has given #Mastodon its bad reputation. 1/2

Anyone know if Sharkey has properly implemented the Mastodon API yet so that apps like Ivory and IceCubesApp can be properly used?
I tried back in May and despite their advertising of the feature, it was basically non-existent and I haven't been keeping up with development.
@DavidBHimself@firefish.city
I'm hearing that a bunch of new people have arrived on Mastodon and the Fediverse these past few weeks.
Well, hello and welcome. I guess I'll make my own post of advice if anyone cares.
1. First and foremost, complete your profile before anything else.
2. An #introduction post usually helps getting seen during the first few days and sometimes even beyond.
3. Remember, here, you craft your own experience, which means:
4. Follow and unfollow liberally. Nobody cares about your follows/followers ratio here.
5. Follow hashtags, it's a great way to populate your timeline with content you care about. It's one of the best function of a lot of Fediverse platforms, and newcomers don't know this exists.
The corollary is: don't forget to use hashtags.
6. Mute keywords and hashtags that regularly show up in your timeline and that you don't care for. Remember, you're the one crafting your experience.
7. Learn about the #Fediverse, it extends well beyond #Mastodon. I think it's important to understand what this is all about and how this place works. It's very different from all what you've been used to.
8. Ignore, mute or block (depending on the offense) anyone who tells you what you must and must not do here (above are pieces of advice, ignore them if you wish, I wouldn't dare telling you what you should do or not do). There's a pretty nasty Home Owners Association here that gives us a bad name everywhere else. They're just a loud minority, give them the attention they deserve: None.
9. Apart from the people mentioned above, most people are very nice here and passionate about many things.
10. Have fun.

Tatsächlich könnte dieses von @afelia gelaunchte 37-Minuten-Video, das im wesentlichen aus einer scharfsinnigen Analyse des Zusammenhangs von Medienversagen und Demokratieversagen besteht, am Ende die bislang großartigste Hymne auf das #Fediverse sein, die es voraussichtlich bis in die Etagen der versagenden Medien schaffen wird.

Gonna buckle down on that whole "Get Fedi more connected" thing I've been talking about this weekend. Gonna see if we can get any of these mainstream servers that had issues with each other during the election to deescalate and reconcile in some way, especially on the MastodonForHarris / MutualAid stuff.
We want this network to be unified in January.

#Threads がここ最近全然 #Fediverse 周りの対応について新しい更新情報が出てこないので、「やつらは EU に便宜をはかるために 対応進めてるだけ」みたいなことを言い始める人（英語）が流れてきてる…

Threads keeps building new features and they seem to have completely forgotten about the Fediverse integration. I wonder if Threads folks are ever able to use it in the EU and whether we will be ever fully interact with them both directions.

Hey. Ich bin Matthias und #neuhier. Ich lebe und arbeite mit meiner Familie auf einem Biohof mit solidarischer Landwirtschaft im nördlichen Emsland.
Neben der normalen Arbeit auf dem Bauernhof kümmere ich mich um unseren Social Media Auftritt, fühle mich auf Insta & Co. jedoch schon lange nicht mehr wirklich wohl.
Deshalb versuche ich nun (langsam) im #Fediverse Fuß zu fassen. Das passt eh viel besser zur Philosophie der solidarischen Landwirtschaft.

This is an article that everyone should read by Tim Berners-Lee.
It is written in 2010. It talks of the importance of the Web, open Web standards and fighting silos. It is as true today as it was then.
It applies to the work we are doing here in building the Fediverse. Based on W3 standards, open and distributed.

Seems like a Fediverse ad model is developing. I'm ok with that but there needs to be a general purpose, filterable, marketing/advertising hashtag
I don't mind people posting affiliate and commission links, like to Amazon or wherever using their revenue generating link, with commentary on a product or sale item, but I wished they would use some kind of general-purpose marketing or advertising hashtag so those could be filtered to a list and stay out of my timeline.
Several popular accounts are doing it now, inserting these kinds of posts throughout a stream of posts.
I know ppl need to make money and some of the ad posts have sparked my interest but even @Mastodon is hawking its novelty merchandise without one #IFTAS
This model has worked well with RSS feeds. I really don't mind it but they should be tagged. #MastoAdmin
I think we are going to be tested over this holiday season with this practice and instance owners and moderators need to setup some boundaries other than NO ADS and enforcing a general purpose marketing tag would put the power back in users hands what they see. #Fediverse
@jon@vivaldi.net
When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.

"The Bluesky features we covet are almost always built on structures that were designed in anticipation of eventually treating the network’s users as a resource to be mined for profit. The question we should ask before incorporating any given feature is not: Can we do that here? but rather: Can it be done without replicating the exploitative structures it’s built on there?"

Phanpy の場合、モバイル（タッチデバイス）だとパーマリンクに該当する投稿以外（リプライ投稿）の本文のテキストを選択するには、そのリプライ投稿のパーマリンクに移動する必要があるのが、ちょっと面倒なのと、その読み込みもちょっと余計に時間かかってしまうから、という結構ニッチな理由だけど、久しぶりに UI が変わるのは気分転換としていい。

As a simple follow-up, as well as a request, I have NOT found a suitable scratch for the itch of the communities on #Reddit. I know, I know, the "communities" are mostly independent of each other as "subreddits," but I miss those subreddits in a major way. I follow the hashtags, but they're not nearly as active as the alien site. But I'm open to suggestions that are on the #Fediverse. Here are the ones I'm interested in:

Mathew Duggan has a brilliant post called "Self-Hosting Isn't a Solution; It's A Patch". In it, he (correctly and convincingly) argues that compelling people to run their own computer services is a complex and distracting crutch for the current problems we face.
It's expensive to self-host, there are moderation problems, and the difficulty level is too high for most people.
But, in my opinion, I think he misunderstands something about self-hosting because, as a term, it is both misleading and unhelpful. When people say "Defund The Police" what they mean is "Move funds away from miliary style policing and give it to trained mental health professionals" - what people hear is "Abolish the police and let anarchy reign".
The ability to "Self Host" doesn't just mean "run this on a Raspberry Pi in your cupboard and be responsible for constant maintenance". Yes, you can do that if you're a masochist, but it isn't restricted to that.
To me, "Self-Hosting" means "I am in control of where I host something". I currently pay a company to host this blog. It has previously been hosted on Blogger, WordPress, my own VPS, and a variety of other services. Tomorrow I could decide to host it with a big company, or I could run it from my phone. I get to choose. That's what "Self-Hosting" is - a choice in where to host.
Similarly, Mastodon allows me self-host my account. I can have my content on one of the big servers and let them do moderation, storage, and maintenance for me - or I can move my account anywhere I choose. To a server in my cupboard and back again.
Email is similar. I know people who've gone from CompuServe, to HoTMaiL, to Gmail, to their own domain, then to OutLook. Their address-book moves with them. Forwarding rules ensure incoming email is routed correctly. They can choose to actively moderate spam, or outsource it. They can pay a company to host, keep backups in their basement, or watch adverts in return for services.
I agree with nearly everything Mathew says in his post. It is absurdly privileged to think that running your own services is something normal people want to do and are capable of doing. Strong regulation helps everyone, people want simplicity, and ecosystems can be fragile.
But witness all the people moving over from Twitter to new networks. Do they care where their data is hosted and how it is maintained? No! But they want to move their social graph with them. And when BlueSky and Mastodon collapse, people will want to move again.
In the UK, I have the ability to move my phone number between hundreds of providers. If I'm particularly techy, I can even run my own infrastructure and route the number there. People love the fact that they can leave crappy service providers and move somewhere cheaper or with with better customer service or whatever it is they value. I think that's a form of self-hosting; I get to choose who provides my services.
Similarly, I believe people have a desire for "self-hosting" which is difficult for them to articulate. They want to move their data around - be it old photos, a social graph, or a username. Most of them don't really care about the underlying technology (and why should they?) but they do care about continuity of service and being able to escape crappy service providers.
So, that's my reckons. Self-Hosting means you can choose where to host, and I think most people can find value in that.
What do you think?

ActivityPubの共同著作者であるChristine Lemmer-Webber氏によるAT ProtocolとBlueskyについて論じたブログが昨日Blueskyで話題になってた。
現在のBlueskyはリレーとユーザー情報管理が集中化されているため、分散化しているとは言えず（ちなみにActivityPubは "message passing" アーキテクチャで、AT Protoは "shared heap" アーキテクチャと分類している）。全ての情報がパブリックであることも問題点として挙げている。
それでもBlueskyは優れたTwitterの代替プラットフォームを提供しようとしているし、AT Protoの目標である "credible exit" を実現するための取り組みにはとても価値があると評価している。
後半ではコンテンツやユーザーアイデンティティーのポータビリティ性の欠如という現在のFediverseの問題にも触れ、そこに関する研究を氏は行っているみたい。

The work #ghost is doing to their #fediverse integration is pretty interesting. 😎 Like having long and short distinction, for consuming content, on the UI. It sounds obvious, but not as wide use. Maybe #Substack does this? 🤔
Ghost versatility may make it excellent for single user instances.
Example, same thing you use for publishing long form content is same tool you use to spam about pugs. 🐶 All without polluting the streams. Very nice. 😄

Privacy here shouldn't come with such a painful social cost. You shouldn't have to either choose social isolation, or be forced to accept that your posts will be ingested by shady web scrapers or risk helping a known dangerous stalker identify your physical location.
You should be able to create posts that can be interacted just like the completely public ones, but which are only visible to your followers and maybe their followers, or other group of your choice.

Two years ago I wrote an article with a tongue-in-cheek title prophesizing that the fediverse will "win".
https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/yes-the-fediverse-will-win/
Yes, I still stand by that, I think we just hit a bit of a speed bump.
To get back on the track, we have to double down on what makes the fediverse great: it's grassroots, it's DIY, it works because of all the effort we all put in.
So consider this a reminder to donate to your server admins and to the developers of your platform.

Heads up Canadian Fedi! There are rumblings that the Gov of Canada, or at least large numbers of politicians/politicos are soon ending their presence on #Twitter to move to #Bluesky.
Now is the time to push for them to consider the #Fediverse including #Mastodon. Whether they choose an existing server, or do (imo) the right thing and create their own presence, now is when you need to be talking to your political contacts about why they should choose this space!
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online
Recently came across @vmstan's bot @mergebot, which is great if you want to stay on top of Mastodon's development.
Pairs well with @mastodon_mobile_apps, which keeps track of latest updates to Mastodon's official mobile apps.
I also made @mastodonroadmap, which is a bit less useful these days as the Mastodon roadmap hasn't been getting updated much lately, and the no longer active @mastodonmilestoneprogress, as the team has moved away from using GitHub milestones.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al
Introducing Streamiverse… a simple Mastodon-compatible streaming API of curated posts from the fediverse.
https://streamiverse.small-web.org
Consume the public API curated/hosted by Small Technology Foundation (for non-commercial and educational use) or host your own.
Mastodon had a public streaming API but it was locked down this year. This gives you back that useful feature (for demos, teaching, etc.) plus you know exactly what you’re getting.

Since people asked, here's how to make a Lemmy/threadiverse post from a microblog. Note that this might not always work, depending on your instance.
@admin@hear-me.social
I just built and deployed the latest #Phanpy version to https://phanpy.hear-me.social.
If you haven't tried Phanpy, you ought to. It is a superior UI for Mastodon and other Fediverse applications.
@paula@test.paulatothepeople.eu
Hey,
I'm testing #IceShrimp here.
Its a cool #Misskey fork and quite a different experience to enter the #Fediverse than Mastodon.
Give me some interaction so this tiny server sees some action. #Introduction
@daniel@social.dhelonious.de
This blog post by @rolle about how he found his way into the #Fediverse and created IMO the best #Mastodon #theme #BirdUI is well worth a read!

I don't want to take anything away from Jay Graber. She is an effective leader that has steered her company to massive growth,
But I feel like she needs to work on her elevator pitch for what it means for a system to be "decentralized". Note: no one says the word "federated" in this interview.
Of course, it would be nice if #bluesky was *actually* decentralized. Maybe that is why she struggles with the question?
@newsmast@newsmast.social
"Decentralised social media is more than just a technical shift; it's a step toward restoring autonomy and trust in our digital lives, empowering individuals and communities to connect without compromising their values or privacy."
A study by the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford finds that decentralised social media leads to citizen empowerment.

Hi @_elena, I came across your interesting account yesterday! I'm really impressed by your #fediverse ideas and "powers". I read your post yesterday about system federation, and it got me wondering: is it possible to use a #mastodon account to join other social networks? Or am I misunderstanding something?

A poll: how do you feel about the general idea of starter packs (or some equivalent) on fedi? (1/7)
Bluesky's "starter packs" make it easy to follow a bunch of accounts all at once. Anybody can create one or more starter packs, and they're used for a lot of different things; the Blacksky starter pack, for example, is great for newcomers from Black Twitter, and Newsmast's FediSky starter pack is helpful for finding folks you might know from the fedivere.
But Bluesky's implementation has some major problems: people can be added to starter packs without their consent, aren't even notified when it happens, and it's not obvious how to opt out. And any mechanism like this potentially creates "rich get richer" dyanamics and risks magnifying existing biases -- guys tend to mostly add guys to starter packs, white people tend to mostly add white people to starter packs, etc. Still, despite the problems, they're very helpful for onboarding.
I've had discussions with multiple people working on ideas for fediverse starter packs or the equivalents, and similar questions keep cropping up. So I figured I'd do a series of polls to get feedback on what people think.
To start with, the basic question, how do you feel about the general idea of starter packs (or some equivalent) on fedi?
the Mastodon iOS app cuts off long text in the polls, so I'm including it here as well
No, Bad idea for fedi, don't do it
Maybe, depending on how it's implemented
Yes, this is important functionality - get something out now, we can fix it later!
Not sure

そういう #Fediverse のよいところ、 にいない人にはなかなか理解されづらいところもあるけど、他の場所から人が増えることよりも、いまここにいる僕たちで、ここをよりいいかんじのやさしい・たのしい場所にしましょう！みたいな気持ちも強いので、スパム報告とかは見つけ次第やっていく
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net · Reply to GENKI's post
ちょっと追記、
この観点でいうと、自分から見ると #BlueSky は結局「#BlueSky へおいでよ」にしか見えないんだよな…
その点、 #Mastodon は 「 においでよ」とは言ってない。
あ、いや、言ってるかもしれないけど、それだけじゃない。
別に じゃなくてもいい、#Misskey でも #Pixelfed でも #Threads が #ActivityPub に完全対応すれば #Threads だっていい。
「#X から #BlueSky に大移動！これからは #BlueSky の時代！」とか「いまこそ #Threads でインフルエンサーになっておくべき！」みたいな「どこの #SocialMedia にいくべき」みたいな語り口をみると、たとえるなら「いつまでメールのプロバイダーはどこがいい、みたいな話するつもりなのか。全部メールなんだからメールでいいじゃん。」みたいな気持ちになる…
この「メール」という上位の言葉にあたるのが #Fediverse なのであって、いまは便宜上それに対応しているサービスとしてないサービスがあるから #Fediverse って呼んでるだけで、つまりは汎用的な相互に連携できる #SocialMedia のことだし、しかもその仕様は ちゃんと #W3C で #ActivityPub という形で標準化もされてるわけで、さらに実際にそれで連携したいろんなサービスやソフトウェアが存在している（#BlueSky の #ATProtocol とはちがって）んだから、これからはそういう「標準化されたソーシャルメディア」の時代にしようぜ！という気持ちのほうが強い。
全然追記がちょっとじゃなかった…
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net
やっぱり「#X から引っ越す」ということになると #BlueSky が選ばれやすいんだろうなー
分散型といいつつ実際には 1 つのサーバーに集中してるし、そうなってることで #X から引っ越してくるユーザーにとっては分散型がどうとかプロトコルがどうとかそういう #Twitter 時代にはなかった概念を覚える必要もなく使えるし、なおかつ UI も #Twitter にかなり寄せてある。
リアルな引っ越しでも、言葉とか習慣が違う慣れない土地より、土地勘のある場所のほうが気楽だろうし。
#BlueSky にいまひとが増えてるというのもまた「人が多いところにだったら行ってもいい」みたいな、誰もが持ってる「群にはついていきたい」という気持ちが背中を押すところもあるんだろうな…
そう考えると、自分は #Fediverse という夢をみているのかもしれない。その夢を重ねてこの場所を見ているから素敵な場所に見えているのかもしれない。
でも #Fediverse は夢としてはなかなか悪くない夢だし、実際のところ現実に今存在する というこの場所は、なかなか良い場所なんだよ、少なくとも自分にとっては。
たとえ人が集まらなくたっていい、なぜなら #ActivityPub でほかのサーバーとも繋がれるんだから！というのは、なんというか、すごく肩の荷が降りる世界観なんだよな…
もう、どの #SocialMedia に登録してる・してないということを気にしなくていいんだ… みたいな気持ちになるんだよ。
それこそ、#X にいこうが #BlueSky にいこうが #Threads にいこうが、それぞれにいるアカウントはどこからでもフォローできるんだ、という世界観。
分散型がどうとかプロトコルがどうとか、本当は自分もそういう話をしたいわけじゃなくて（そもそも自分もそんなに詳しくないし）、そういう #SocialMedia 同士の壁が無くなる世界観の話がしたいんだよな、きっと。

If the top 10% posting on #Threads and #Bluesky federate/bridge, you can basically get all the content on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.

We need citizen-powered social media to break the incentives to ignore poor moderation which ignores our concerns, and to be able to tackle hate-based networks.
Continuing to depend on monopoly capitalism to bring this change simply cannot work.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
There are challenges to the federated model.
This includes an increase in bubbles that can foster hate, where platforms are self-selecting and exclusionary of marginalised communities who are underrepresented in the tech world.
But hate-based networks thrive best when they can infiltrate and attack wider society that they seek to undermine.
Hate-based networks are hard to protect against, but depend on poorly-moderated, big tech platforms to spread their bile.

The fediverse is threatened by onerous legislation, such as the Online Safety Act that’s forged in the idea of monopoly owned social media platforms.
Competition to engage consumer choice needs to be strengthened instead.

Open Source technologies let everyone participate and bring social media to their own communities.
Governments, real communities and organisations can control their own publication and data.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
Open standards for social media gives the potential to promote better standards of moderation.
Third parties are able to repurpose, filter and represent content in ways that users want according to community principles of engagement.
Open standards mean third-party developers can experiment to build new tools, apps, platforms and feeds that can connect to an interoperable network.
Consumer choice is given meaning, where the platform sets the floor and users raise the ceiling.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
Where we have digital land barons, they can algorithmically dictate the terms of debate.
Interoperability means we can choose differently without losing access, forcing providers to think differently with the interests of its users in mind.

A decentralised model of social media gives us, the consumer-citizen, the right to leave.
This portability of our account fights against the network effects of users congealing around one provider that can begin to act with impunity.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
Without competition, there’s no consumer choice and therefore voice.
The disincentive to leaving a platform is losing your investment in networks.
Interoperability lets you migrate your account between platforms without losing followers.

With water companies, there's capitalism in theory through privatisation, but no choice over provider.
The sewage crisis is a fitting parallel to social media. Owners have a captive consumer base, so there’s little incentive to improve the service.

We value the ability to switch providers in services like utilities.
Much has been done to ease the barriers in the name of consumer protection and to drive up quality through competition.
But monopolies pervert this model.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
Federated social media offers competition and choice.
As with email or mobile phones, your account should be able to work across any provider regardless of the network.
This is interoperability and it’s key to improving standards.
@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
In the current walled garden model of social media, users are locked-in to a particular platform.
People can't move accounts without losing networks they've developed.
Under tech oligarchs, users have no influence over how content is prioritised or the platform's algorithms.

Is it time to leave that toxic X? Or are we flogging a dead bird?

While #Mastodon is the giant of the #Fediverse , I am curious if any of the other projects have made better strides with onboarding, moderation, UX and so forth.
How is #Friendica on these issues? Or #Misskey ? Ideally we should have a number of _different_ #ActivityPub -based systems which all compete to make their user experiences better. I mean, isn't tying ourselves too closely to any single platform how we got ourselves into this mess in the first place?

I’m curious about a couple of things and answers to this question will surely provide insights. What is decentralisation as defined by a social protocol and social network(s)? #fediverse #ActivityPub #Socialweb #Mastodon #Askfedi
@stefano@bsd.cafe
This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.
I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.
So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

Let's speedrun the XMPP-alike death of ActivityPub, sure. Let's sacrifice our freedom to corporate overlords all over again, because stuff like that worked out so well in the past. Nothing bad ever happened when projects began using a fundamental technology controlled by a VC-funded, profit-driven company.
In the end only a small userbase will remain vigilant while the majority gets fucked all over again. As always.
I want to scream.
#Bluesky #Pixelfed #Fediverse
![Re: [pixelfed/pixelfed] Bluesky Support (Issue #5348)
I for one think this would be an excellent idea. Making Pixelfed available for Bluesky users, and for the rest of the fediverse to get a lot more content, would benefit everyone. If done right, it could help introduce the idea that more fediverse projects implement the AT protocol.

How I instruct people to join Mastodon. First I don’t mention instance anything ! Secondly i provide them a link. Either Mstdn.social or my instance if they like gaming … tell them to follow the prompts to sign up. Give them a few suggestions to follow. And boom they are generally hooked ! Once they are familiar I mention instances I mention federated vs local. Once they’re comfortable they seem to grasp it way better.

AcitivityPub isn't the only protocol used by the Fediverse.
NodeInfo is another protocol that makes up the suite of protocols that the Fediverse is based on.
https://github.com/jhass/nodeinfo/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md
NodeInfo is used to discover various information about the server node.
Such as:
• the software it is running (ex: Mastodon, PIxelfed, etc)
• the server node's total number of users,
• the number of posts on the server node,
• the number of active users,
• etc.

#Moderator Issues.
New #report comes in.
No description.
Posts are all part of a thread criticizing the Mainstream Media, with focus on slanted reporting of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
Nothing advocating any violence, nothing racist, nothing that seems like blatant misinformation.
No description.
Report was from another server so can't ask for one.
Forced to move on because there's no information about what is being reported.
Perhaps some ability to send internal messages in response to #reports, regardless of server, should be added to #ActivityPub? I know I've seen people talk about adding the ability to share moderator notes, and it would really help with moderation between servers on the #fediverse to be able to ask these questions and see what other #moderators are thinking...

@jon@vivaldi.net
In the early days of the Web, research institutions and Universities were some of the first to join.
Has your research institute or University joined the Fediverse as yet? How about suggesting to do so? Maybe set up a server yourself, with their permission? We can all contribute to building the Fediverse. This is the best way to build a true social web.

🦋 Maybe Bluesky has “won” - Gavin Anderegg

@sublimer あ、やっぱり #Mastodon 独自の機能なんですね〜 💦
おっしゃる通り、より汎用的な仕様として、例えば #Fediverse #ActivityPub 側で同様の機能を取りこんでもらうとか、そもそも使う人が増えてくれると良いですよね
@reiver@mastodon.social
Bluesky (and the other alternative decentralized social-media networks: Farcaster, Lens, Matrix, Nostr) are not our rivals — they are our friends.
And, keep in mind that software that is considered Fediverse software (ex: Mastodon) has already changed protocols in the past.
We shouldn't get attached to any particular protocol.
The means we are seeking is — to decentralized social-media and to federate with each other. Not any specific protocol.
@caesar@indieweb.social
Here's a few things you can expect when there's a #Fediverse outage:
- oh wait, there's no such thing, the Fediverse is actually federated
- there are over 30k totally independent servers
- if one of them goes down the rest of the Fediverse works just fine

実際のところ、日本での SNS マーケティングという文脈で #Fediverse とか #ActivityPub が話題に上がることなんてほぼないんだろうな…
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net
SNS エキスパートという肩書があるのか…
オレは絶対にそんな肩書き背負えないなあという感想と、
* 「SNS」の「エキスパート」なら、#ActivityPub とか #Fediverse についても詳しいのか！？

というか、自分にとっては #Fediverse が眩しすぎて、#BlueSky とか霞んでよく見えない、みたいな感じかもなー
#BlueSky の界隈の盛り上がりはよく知らないけど、#Fediverse は #ActivityPub がすでに標準技術としてあって複数のソフトウェアとそれを使ったサーバーが建っている（実際に分散運用されている）というだけじゃなく、最近は
* いろんなクライアントがある（#PhanpySocial 推し
* #Flipboard みたいなメディアも #Fediverse に積極的にコミットしてる
* 企業がサーバー立てる例もふえつつある（一方で #Mozilla とかは閉じちゃったりもしてるけど）
* テック系のアカウント（特に英語圏）は結構いる
* 推しの #Vivaldi もサーバー建ててる
みたいに、#Mastodon の中の人だけじゃなく、いろんな人や企業が参加・コミットし始めてて、そこに広告的メリット以上の何か（そもそも #Fediverse は広告的なメリットは既存の SocialMedia に比べれば大きくない）意義を見出して関わっている感じがあって、そこに自分の理想みたいなものを重ねて応援している部分もあるので、あんまり他の場所に興味を持ててない。
そういう意味では全然フラットじゃなくて #Fediverse 贔屓な意見だし、そういう自覚もある。

We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.

Recommendations for accessible fediverse software?
I'm working on a blog post for people thinking of joining the fediverse and want to include this information!
Here's what I think I know so far (although might be wrong) ... other suggestions welcome
Mastodon's web UI is pretty good from accessibility perspective, but has some issues.
Pinafore used to be the most accessible web UI but isn't maintained anymore. Semaphpore is a fork doesn't seem to have had any updates in the last year, so I'm not sure of its status. Enafore is another fork but it's described as "somewhat unstable".
I haven't seen anything about what Mastodon mobile apps are better or worse from an accessibility perspective.
For Lemmy, OurBlind says that moderators have and continue to work with the developers to improve accessibility; Thunder, a Lemmy app for iOS and Android, performs well; and Mlem developers are implementing native accessibiity.

It is so funny that people consider Bluesky decentralized. Yes, in theory it could be, but no, it is not decentralized now at all since most users are on the same server. Let's call it what it is, Bluesky is just a Twitter clone with some optional decentralized sparkles on top of it.
Why would anyone go back to what we all ran away from?

If you run a Mastodon server you probably already know about some of the existing tools for collectively managed domain blocks.
As an alternative, I created a simple Python script that lets you copy public domain blocks from servers you trust for an easy import.

das Bistum #Würzburg hat X verlassen: „Die Algorithmen des Dienstes dienten mittlerweile als Werkzeug zur Verbreitung von #Falschinformationen, populistischer und #antidemokratischer #Propaganda.“ 😡
https://pow.bistum-wuerzburg.de/aktuelle-meldungen/detailansicht/ansicht/x-keine-stimmige-heimat-fuer-das-bistum-wuerzburg/
Gleichzeitig bekennen sie sich zu ihrem #Mastodon-Kanal 🐘 im #Fediverse.
📣 Bravo, @bistumwuerzburg ! Eine gute Entscheidung. 👏
Helft bitte mit, auch noch die Hochschulen zu überzeugen und unterschreibt die Petition

まあ #Threads が #Fediverse 完全対応したら、 #Threads でいいんじゃない？という気持ちはある。
#BigTech とか #Meta イヤ！みたいな意見はとくに #Fediverse #mastodon に長くいる人とかにはあるのかもしれないし、そういう考え方もわからなくはないけど。
「まあ、細かいことはいいから、とりあえず #Fediverse おいでよ 」みたいな気持ちのほうが勝っている

The Fediverse and Decentralized Social-Media (DeSo) needs more developer tools.
Dan ( @dansup ) has already done a lot of good work with this with PubKit. And we should all be grateful to him.
But, more people need to get involved.
More needs to be done (by others). More tools. More programming-languages supported. More tutorials. More documentation. Etc.

I'm not sure if there's a term that exists for what I'm doing in this age of technofeudalism. There probably is. But a term I use in my mind is "digital homesteading." And I'm surprised how many people seem actually interested. It's, of course, all about making it accessible to non tech people.

I guess it is not a surprise. Most of you think that social media platforms that utilize algorithmic feeds are inherently anti-free-speech. So do I.
You have made the choice to join Mastodon, where the content you see is chronological and not decided by algorithms. IMHO, you have made the right choice.
I remember a time when we all viewed the Web with optimism. The more people we could get to join, the better for the world. Now it is a bit more mixed, but IMHO social media companies that utilize algorithmic feeds are to blame. We can move towards a better Web together by getting more people to join us.

If you add all the #TwitterAlternative s, they have been in the lead for a while now.
If you add @Flipboard and sum it up wit #Mastodon (because #Fediverse 😉), then #Facebook ist not far.
But, if you have a look on the numbers since the beginning of 2022, then it's clear, that this is mainly a story about the decline of #Twitter.

@tante this is a golden opportunity for the #Fediverse & #Matrix to emerge as the communications hubs for government, academia, non-profits, transportation and alert system… if only admins inside these orgs started a big wave of adoption. Fediverse for social, Matrix for private messaging.
At the Matrix conference, people from the French gov talked about how they had ALL French civil servants (some 500,000 people) move their internal comms to #tchap, built on the Matrix protocol. It is doable!

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social
So to all others in the #Fediverse desperately trying to get people to understand the benefits of a non-corporate infrastructure without improving the very infrastructure, you will fail. Case and point, email. People still don't understand why someone would prefer email and forums to, say, Facebook, for example, so use your energy to make this place better. This means working on making things better for marginalized people exclusively, trust me. I mean, look at the alt text culture here. Average non-fedi people whined about using it for years but suddenly figured out it helps them, too! Apply this to *every* other marginalized user asking for a feature. Then, eventually, when another rich person takes over #Bluesky and people will be looking for alternatives, we have something better. #Mastodon

@jon@vivaldi.net
Are social media platforms that utilize algorithmic feeds inherently anti-free-speech?
In normal discourse, we all have a voice and we all have the choice whether to listen. In the algorithmic space, formulas are used to decide which voices to amplify and also which voices to de-amplify.
Here on Vivaldi Social (Mastodon), I see posts that people I follow post, including posts they choose to boost. No formulas needed. This is, IMHO, the closest to free-speech you can find, although there are some hate speech rules, which is IMHO a good thing. Basically the same as in normal, social discourse.
On Facebook I see posts Facebook thinks I want to see (and boy do they get it wrong), as well as a lot of AI generated nonsense. There are some posts in there that I am interested in, but most are not.
Twitter has turned into amplification of what Elon wants to amplify, mostly hate speech and misinformation. There are still interesting voices in there, but they are harder and harder to find.
What do you think?

As you may have read, BotsIn.Space is closing down, I have lots of automated bot accounts living on the Fediverse - and I want them to continue posting. Installing and maintaining an entire Mastodon instance sounds like hard work. Paying people to host my stuff feels like putting my fate in someone else's hands.
Say… didn't I write my own ActivityPub server? Why, yes! Yes I did!
I took the code and stripped it down to the bare essentials. All you need to do is upload two files0 - index.php and .htaccess - fill in your details, and you're done.
Get the ActivityBot source code on GitLab.
There's no database, no containers, no caching. It is as simple as I could make it
This bot can do the following:
That's it! Here's what it doesn't do:
Grab a subdomain (don't buy a whole new domain name!) and stick this code on it. You'll have an ActivityPub bot running in minutes.
Feedback very much welcome.
You can also upload a .env file for your configuration if you want. ↩︎

The Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) in general needs to be more than just an online social-network.
It also needs to be a developer platform where people create things.
@suzannealdrich@hachyderm.io
I just want to pause for a moment to appreciate the fact that we have this distributed #socialnetwork and don’t need to fear it being taken away or monopolized. I think that is the best outcome out of the last several years. I am excited by the potential of the #fediverse to help communities weave together patchworks of resistance and subversive thinking, and eventually swarm together to foment societal transformation. We have barely scratched the surface of this capacity.

I have for the last 11 years talked about the problem with user profiling and algorithmic content. Creation of echo chambers and the ability to easily manipulate what people see for marketing purposes and worse. Even made a cat video to try to make the point. I wish more would see this.
The point is not for political parties to see the potential here, but rather to see the risk. The only way to fix this is to ban user profiling.
You have made a good choice to move the the Fediverse. It would help for more of your friends to join us.

The deeper I dig into the #Fediverse, the more I realize that we aren't building a "federated" group of individual apps. It's a single, integrated system. Something like a digital hive-mind, and everything is connected.
Those once isolated websites and services are like individual cells in the body whole, making connections between (API's, protocols, etc) even more important than the individuals themselves.
@rolle@mementomori.social
Each party that is building the "new era of social media" have their own agendas.
Bluesky states literally "Bluesky is an open network. With one account, you can access both an easy-to-use social network and a shared identity across the entire social internet."
Nostr states: "Nostr is a simple, open protocol that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media."
Threads says: "Threads is part of the fediverse, also known as the federated universe. The fediverse is a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world."
But they are still more or less separate and not "easy". It's this fantasy of having interoperability, but years go by and everyone are still developing their own protocols and apps. Bluesky and Threads can be partly connected to the Fediverse, but limited to one-way or opt-in setting. It's not "across the entire social internet", nowhere near.
As of right now I can reach most platforms via ActivityPub and I can fully have the control to myself with my own server on the Fediverse. That can't be achieved with Bluesky or Threads, with them you are always dependent on someone else's servers. I hope some day we'll get the bigger players fully connected too, somehow, better and easier.

Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109314036284496776
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

I tried out @hollo and it looks like a promising project. It was relatively easy to get up and running with docker on my own server, but I don’t think I can make the switch to it yet.

Is this a Mastodon server setting or why do external accounts (that likely haven't been "synced" to the current instance) not have profile pictures (and header) showing?
It's not that they are on a completely new instance or that their instance is blocked.

Just moved here so it's #introduction time again? On the #fediverse since 2017. Recovering, possibly recurring, academic, but that's another account. Avid #ttrpg person, but that's another account. Cranky purveyor of unpopular opinions, but that's another account.
I'll try to focus on #retrocomputing and #electronicmusic here. Those things tie together my love for #synths, #chiptunes, and #demoscene productions. Not much of a musician myself, but I enjoy noodling around.
Und weil's ein Deutscher server ist:
Gerade eingezogen also mal wieder #introduction Zeit? Seit 2017 im #fediverse. Genesender, möglicherweise rückfällig werdender, Akademiker, aber das ist ein anderer Account. Begeisterter #ttrpg Mensch, aber das ist ein anderer Account. Entnervter Anbieter von unpopulären Meinungen, aber das ist ein anderer Account.

@nilesh@fosstodon.org
Digital communities (like #Fediverse instances) - where discourse about new knowledge happens - need to think seriously about their stance on conversation data being used for training large language models.
A few possibilities:
a) Ban it altogether. This will require closing down our communities and implementing proof-of-humanness, reputation scores etc.
b) Exclusively license the data to #AI companies and use that to pay for server costs.
c) Change nothing. Allow anyone to use the data.

Hmm I can't start Hollo with systemd, I don't really understand why.
I've tried the example given on the Bun website, I think the problem comes from this line :
ExecStart=/home/my_user/.bun/bin/bun run index.ts

I do want to remind people that some of us aren't the normal scum and villainy you see on the #Fediverse and would love to help you deploy services that you can host and maintain yourself to help you remove anything you might not want on centralized infrastructure.

Trochu jsem zabředl do toho, jak vlastně funguje #BlueSky, konkrétně jejich #ATProto protokol, na kterým to celý stojí. Některý věci jsou fajn, např. jednodušší oddělení identity (klidně na vlastní doméně) od dat (a jednodušší přenos účtu, kterej je možnej i v případě, že server zanikne). Z toho by si #ActivityPub (AP) protokol (pohání #Fediverse/#Mastodon) mohl vzít příklad. Problém AP je taky to, že se uživateli kolikrát nezobrazej všechny komentáře, lajky apod. Na BlueSky tohle funguje. Proč?

Like many, we are devastated after the result of the US election.
We will be taking some time as a team to regroup, process, and understand how we can better support diverse and marginalised communities as we head into a new period.
As a charity, we have always believed in supporting these communities. Our thoughts are with them and the many people who worked hard in their attempt to prevent this result.
Our mission is more urgent than ever. Onwards, always.
@Gargron@mastodon.social
I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

@ChristianKrebel@ohai.social
I like the idea of providing paid content on the Fediverse (even though I do not pay for such anywhere currently). https://sub.club/ implements it via premium accounts and DMs but I wonder if we could (and should) enhance the protocol to allow for payment.
At the start only two clients will support it natively because of that.
@aud@fire.asta.lgbt · Reply to Asta [AMP]'s post
It's true that a lot of servers in the fediverse are probably run by cool people, but remember that everything you say is copied many, many times over to many, many different databases. For example, my single user instance here federates with like, 11,000 fucking instances, I am not joking. That means this little post could be copied into 11,000 databases, give or take, depending on the nature of the instances I'm federated with.
So in theory, let's say I posted something, like, I dunno, "fuck dtolnay". Any one of those servers could take offense with that and be shitty to me about it. And I don't control their retention policies.
So! While we don't have to worry about Mark "My Cold Dead Eyes Are The Mark of the Beast" or Elon "I fucked my own cybertruck and liked it" being shitty about our stuff here, it's not a bad idea to consider the nature of the fediverse when writing spicy things that could be prone to misinterpretation.

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Hello English-speaking #filmfans and cineasts in the #fediverse. I could need some #mastohelp.

Asking for a friend. ;) All hints are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I want to talk about some of the comments I made towards @evan last week. We had a heart to heart yesterday, and talked for almost two hours in a safe space where we could both vent and express our frustrations, sorrows, and dreams.
First and foremost, my objections came from a heated place. While I think there’s still amazing things happening at the grassroots level for the #Fediverse, the reality is that a lot of projects and institutions that are keeping the network going are really struggling right now.
For a lot of people, morale is at an all-time low: there’s burnout, infighting, and a profound amount of negativity to contend with. Loads of people are effectively locked-in to performing free labor for years and years on end, and it’s hard to see whether this amazing movement can hold it together.
@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social
Is the #Diaspora social network still alive?
Some people list it as part of the #Fediverse but others do not. I'm not sure if it has an #ActivityPub protocol plugin or not, which tends to be the litmus test for being part of the Fediverse.

The Fediverse MUST grow to encompass all websites and apps that want a future without centralized gatekeepers that are soft targets for authoritarian takeovers.
The protocols are TOOLS for doing this they are not ends in themselves, and they MUST be SECONDARY to the goal of an interconnected, open social web. To do that, we need to find ways to work together and stop yelling at each other so much.
We'd better, or we are all screwed.

Do you love blobcats? Are you a fan of free culture? Then you’ll be happy to know there’s been a brand new blobcat pack made specially (but not exclusively) for the Fediverse! Now also available in English! 
Designed from scratch for a neater look, these new blobcats try their best to preserve and emphasise the original’s fuzzy feel. Bold, yet lean. Refined, yet silly. Blob, yet cat. 
And best of all? They’re all free! Not just free of cost, but free to use, share, and change in whatever way you see fit! Possibly the first truly original blobcat pack released under a free culture licence. What’s a blob if not malleable? Make them yours today! (Or tomorrow. No pressure.)

I keep reading about how Mastodon is dying, or at least on the decline. But while it's had some growing pains, and has some inherent (though fixable) flaws that discourage many new users and drive some away, the COMMUNITY here just feels to me like it grows stronger every day!
I don't know if it's real, or if it's just my own experience, but things are feeling vibrant, alive, and interactive in a way that was pretty rare my first year or so here. So thank you all! #mastodon #fediverse

I've been testing a federated classified ads server, flohmarkt ("Flea Market") which I think is a promising idea for promoting a circular economy among friends. Details on my hub.
It raises quite a few questions for me though - it's going to need more trust & safety features than other #Activitypub applications for example.

Last night I added a setting to my glitch-mastodon instance that lets you save your atproto did:plc value alongside your account since I didn't want to have to go through and add an individual TXT record everytime I make a new bot account. Then, I added an endpoint to my instance at username.domain/.well-known/atproto-did which retrieves that DID value. And since @snarfed.org recently updated BridgyFed to let you set custom domain handles on bridged accounts, I can set the DID:PLC in the account settings and then dm the bridgy account and get the handle updated on the bluesky side.

It makes me sad that some #fediverse and #activitypub
advocates don’t believe a pluriverse of social web protocols is possible;
that’s literally all the web has ever been. Additive, composable stacks.
It was never that *one* protocol. It’s the mixing and matching of multiple protocols - like http+html ad infinitum - that makes the World Wide Web so resilient.
Plurality is the web’s superpower; the more you fight it the more the pluralists will route around you instead of with and through you.

Are there any ActivityPub projects that do anything with Location? I think Pixelfed lets you assign a location to a post and I'm sure Flohmarkt needs to use location for a lot of what it does.
I ask because when I went to get lunch today the whole road was shutdown about a quarter mile away from where I work with a dozen police vehicles surrounding the area- it'd be interesting to have location based news articles when a local news org has the exact location of an event that could just show up on my maps or something.
Even outside of the news space, Google maps uses their restaurant reviews and places those on their map, I'm not sure if we have a yelp-like service on the fediverse yet but it'd be neat

I am publishing a small #ActivityPub / #fediverse project: https://fietkau.software/webfinger_canary and @canary 🙂
It is a tiny bot showcasing a split-domain WebFinger setup, where the handle domain is different from the ActivityPub server domain. This is supported by Mastodon and some other ActivityPub implementations, but not all of them.
So this project, aimed at devs and power users, is part test case, part feature recommendation/advocacy. The bot's website at https://correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software/ has all the details.

"The thing with building in a decentralised space is that it's constantly changing. That can be hard to keep up with but, personally, I love it.
Instead of one omnipotent platform, multiple projects build, launch, grow, fail, side-by-side. It's kind of romantic."

I have to stop posting active links to our content on Mastodon.
Every time I do so now, it brings down our website for up to 5 minutes.
We've tried pretty much every claimed fix, including third party caching (which in turn breaks other elements of our website's dynamic display abilities), code changes and such on our back end code, and more stuff I don't understand at all (but have spent money paying our WP developer to implement). None of it has worked.
The #fediverse powers that be need to fix this growing problem of the #MastoDDos effect on websites. The more followers and more servers your followers are from, the more impact this has on literally bringing a website to its knees with all the DB calls.
For instance, this morning, I posted the lovely article our creative writer Ethan wrote, which ended up only getting 2 boosts and one "favourite" here, but it brought down our website for 4 minutes and 12 seconds.
That's not sustainable.

Setting up my federated fleamarket with flohmarkt
Yesterday, I set up an instance of flohmarkt on a Raspberry Pi, to experiment with a self-hosted, federated "fleamarket" system, for advertising some old tech stuff that really needs a new home.
It's alpha, and has a few rough edges, so perhaps my notes will help:

@ajsadauskas@vivaldi.net
Plenty of posts recently questioning whether BlueSky is actually a decentralised, federated social network like the Fediverse.
(Yes, the following description of ATproto is a gross oversimplification. I realise this. Bear with me a moment.)
Basically, under BlueSky's AT Protocol, you can opt to have your data hosted on your own personal data server (PDS). But these servers all need to connect to a central relay, and at present the only central relay is BlueSky.
Any account that follows Bridgy Fed @bsky.brid.gy also gets federated into the Fedi.
Now.
Let me introduce you to WhiteWind. https://whtwnd.com/
What's WhiteWind?
It's a longform blogging platform, where all your blog posts are saved to your BlueSky PDS.
So right now, today, you can set up your own PDS. Allow BSky access and store your BSky posts in it. And also grant WhiteWind access and allow WhiteWind to store its files there.
And any BlueSky posts replying to your WhiteWind blogs are visible — on WhiteWind.
So potentially, in the future, you could be storing data from multiple social networks and apps — including photos and videos — in your PDS.
In effect, federating across multiple networks doesn't happen at the level of BlueSky. It happens at the level of your account.
@lowrah@gaypirates.club
Here's why we need #AltText for profile pictures on the #fediverse!
"AI" alt text is notoriously unreliable and can't give context, so even when it isn't wrong, it's still not helpful: "Appears to be: Taika Waititi" makes no sense when my name is Laura and you don't know who Taika is or that my picture is from a TV show. If fedi had let *me* describe the pic, this wouldn't have been an issue, but as it is, @fastfinge was understandably confused!
@nick@norden.social
Die öffentliche Wahrnehmung wird durch Erwähnungen beeinflusst.
Was bei einigen zentralen Diensten ständig passiert. Früher "twitterte er oder sie", jetzt "wie er/sie auf X schrieb". Oder auch "wie er/sie in einem Facebook-Post" erwähnte.
Da wäre es schön, wenn z.B. der Bund, ARD, ZDF zuerst auf ihren Instanzen veröffentlichen.
Dann heißt es vielleicht mal "wie die Regierung via #Fediverse verlauten ließ" oder ähnlich.

Growing tired of comments like "but Mastodon is so difficult and only nerds are there" and "it has no future or numbers" and other meaningless nonsense 😩
For me it sounds like "Internet is difficult, only nerds are there" or "I can't see myself bookmarking a website" or "I prefer the commercial, social and paid services instead the free ones".
People also still dislike "the rules" without realizing the endless Terms of Service exist literally in every single thing you use.
I mean, it's not hard, but if is, nobody forces you to use it, right? Why twist the narrative to something it does not fit?

@jdp23 I don't see how partial relays would be possible in atproto. say some catastrophic event happens where people were dead set on splitting off from bsky the corporation. assume it's truly the top priority and nothing else goes until it happens. assume further still this is some unimaginable proportion of the userbase acting in concert - hell, say 25% want to go all at once. best case scenario for making an independent relay.
you create a new relay, migrate data to new PDSes, get that new relay to crawl the PDSes, so far so good. Now what tho? everyone on the new relay is invisible to everyone on the old relay and vice versa. you are back to 0 appviews and 0 feed generators because they all are listening to the main relay. every single appview and feed generator now needs to choose to listen to the new relay. but why would they? you're still responsible as an appview or feed generator for the content you distribute, and you don't know who this new relay is. that's assuming there's no ill will in such a massive split.
so you set up a new basic set of appviews and feed generators. do they also listen to the main relay? do you mirror the old relay in the new relay? do you let the old relay crawl the pdses too? if so, what was the point of the split? now you need to redesign all the existing appviews and feed generators in flight to deduplicate records, which is possible since they're content addressed, but i would doubt they're designed to handle multiple relays because none have existed before now.
what about DIDs? most of the existing infrastructure is designed to just use PLC, which is just a lookup table that bsky also owns. shoot. but we're saved by magic here, because remember there is no acrimony in this enormous network redefining split! So say bsky the corporation is kind enough to keep letting people register DIDs with PLC. we didn't quite make the clean break we were after, but hey it's only the fundamental ability to exist on the network that we were unable to leave behind, and we'll always be reliant on bsky's goodwill for that until someone makes a DID method that works and then we redesign all the appviews and feed generators again.
So now after all that... we're still invisible to most people on the main relay?! oh right because bsky the corporation also provides the default feeds, and despite the high numbers claimed in the press releases, alternate feeds are actually only sparsely used and as a rule very simple hashtag/account feeds because doing anything else is ridiculously expensive. Bluesky the appview is provided by bluesky the corporation, and that's what's actually fetching and hydrating the feeds for us anyway, so even if the feed generators swap over, we'd still be invisible to everyone still on bsky the app. More magic! bsky the appview chooses to crawl and hydrate our posts. We're pretty far from our initial intention of a clean break, but what choice do we have? Now we're partially viewable, some of the time, on some non-default feeds, and there's no way at all to tell within the interface which those are. All it took was totally redesigning most of the network and an enormous amount of goodwill.
What about labels? What about all the automated content moderation bsky the appview does like scanning images and etc? Who moderates? How? Who's paying for all this anyway? The new relay is bound to be extremely expensive - either it's too small and you don't have the critical mass to make any of the above happen, or it's very large and you run into exactly the same problems of scale that necessitate bsky the corporation to need seed funding and eventually make a revenue model on. Where on fedi people pay for servers and donate to their instance because it's a visible part of their experience with moderators they know and like, now all that labor is diffused among a bunch of anonymous service providers - this is by design! It was supposed to depersonalize the network and make it so everyone is just an interchangeable part that you can shop around between. What keeps people donating to the new PDSes, the new relay, the new appviews, the new feed generators? How would they even know how to do that?Meanwhile the network is continuing to tack on features with some combination of bsky corporation fiat, behind the scenes server magic, and so on, so the best we can hope for is partial compatibility and an always-inferior experience.
And that's just to get to 2 relays. what about 3? Remember how much people complained about how hard it was to find an instance? That's absolutely nothing to the combinatoric complexity of PDS * relay * feed generator * app view. How on earth will anyone know how to follow and talk to their friends? To see your friend's post, if they are not on the main relay, you need to get just the right combination of parameters. Even in this perfect scenario with unlimited resources, attention, goodwill, and organization, we couldn't even manage to make a clean break and still have to be reliant on bsky for basically the entire stack, at least partially.
So maybe some small, closed group could make subnetworks, and that is lovely! i'm glad that tech is out there. There's no such thing as privacy on those networks unless they redesign indigo, but hey it's a start! But that looks nothing like the interoperable paradise that's on the label.
In reality we don't get perfect conditions though, and so we'll get stuck at step one: new relay, zero appviews, zero feed generators, zero visibility, and zero people. Again I don't think alternate relays are possible with atproto -- if they were, then there would be no reason to invest $13 million dollars in bluesky.

Die Bibliothek der Universität Groningen hat einen sehr interessanten Erfahrungsbericht über ihren Wechsel von X ins #Fediverse veröffentlicht.
Demnach hat sie bisher nur sehr positive Erfahrungen damit gemacht.
Sie haben unter anderem festgestellt, dass kommerzielle Plattformen oft Engagement über Genauigkeit stellen und damit möglicherweise die für die offene Wissenschaft zentralen Grundsätze von Transparenz und Objektivität untergraben.
In dem Artikel berichten sie jedenfalls:
- warum es zum Wechsel kam
- Planung und Durchführung
- Die bisherigen Auswirkungen des Wechsels
- Neudefinition ihrer Content-Strategie
- Zurechtfinden im Fediverse
Insgesamt ein sehr spannender Einblick.

@FediTips @manyfold Maybe @subclub which is a project trying to monetize #fediverse contents for creators relying on decentralized social networks. It's still in beta stage but I think that to be tested further, to see its strong and weak points, it needs to be known. I also ping @_elena for the purpose - she's a long-time fediverse explorer and reviewer.

And that's not all! The last section of the article briefly touches on @kissane's work on revealing the fediverse's gifts, Weird and the Leaf protocol, @newsmast's Channel.org and the Patchwork fork, @Flipboard bringing @19thnews and hundreds of other publishers to the Fediverse, Bandwagon, a proof of concept integration of Faircamp into Hubzilla, Mastodon 4.3 ...

Vorhin haben @ueckueck, @korporal und ich uns wieder zusammengeschalten, um gemeinsam den Workshop und Ergebnisse nachzubereiten. Bedingt durch Erkältungen und andere Verzögerungen mussten wir das leider recht lange aufschieben.
Wir alle haben spannende Punkte daraus mitgenommen, über die es sich weiter zu sprechen lohnt und wir wollen Inhalte daraus für das #Fediverse aufarbeiten. Wir sind da also weiter dran, es wird aber noch ein bisschen dauern.

Bluesky & the Fediverse: How 3 + 0 adds up to more than 1 + 2
Building a different web and bringing back its magic means choosing what matters. Making the most of the bridge with Bluesky. Turning people first, post once social media - Fediverse 3.0 - into a reality. And nurturing communities through small and medium sized servers, feeds, hashtags and Fediverse 0.0.

@mho@social.heise.de
The most recent #update for #Mastodon has reached three fourth of the followers from @heiseonline, patching the #preview-bug for them. So we should see most of the traffic coming from here again. Yet, the number of visits from the #Fediverse to heise.de hasn't really grown that much.
At least, the three #Twitter-alternatives are again bigger than #X, which keeps declining.
In sum, the four networks deliver half as much traffic than #Twitter alone in the beginning of 2022.
@mho@social.heise.de
Das jüngste Update von #Mastodon hat etwa drei Viertel der Follower von @heiseonline erreicht und damit auch der Patch für den #Preview-Bug. Wir sollten also wieder so ziemlich alle Klicks sehen, die aus dem #Fediverse zu heise.de führen.
Aber so richtig zugenommen hat die Zahl der Zugriffe trotzdem nicht wirklich.
Wenigstens lagen die #Twitter-Alternativen in Summe vergangene Woche wieder mal vorn (was sie immer öfter tun). Das liegt auch am Sinkflug von #X.

@melroy Agree with you, #Bluesky will never be as decentralized as the #Fediverse.
I decided to choose functionality over decentralization though.
Having a working search feature feels good for a change, something that will never be possible here due to this stupid opt-in obsession.
Also all threads are complete. I no longer have to visit remote instances to see all comments or use hacks such as fedifetcher.
Discord approval was only required for the first few months. Anyone can spin up PDS and it just works.

Wow! I'm making #Bandwagon -- an open source, community-focused alternative to #Bandcamp that anyone can self-host.
As of this morning, there are 99 #Musicians and #Bands who have set up #Fediverse profiles on https://bandwagon.fm -- and half of those already indexable on search engines.
So I'm humbled by the number of people who are giving it a go. There's obviously lots of people out there looking for something new.
I promise to do my best to give y'all the tools you deserve.

Online Safety and the “Great Decentralization” – The Perils and Promises of Federated Social Media
By @samlai.bsky.social and @yoyoel
On Bluesky, Lai summarizes their recommendations:
Here’s how we fix it:
(1) Larger platforms can fund tool development efforts and share info on their moderation decisions
(2) A multi stakeholder structured hub curating pooled data to identify threat actors
(3) Tool builders can create platforms for mods to share information with each other

So... is Mastodon inherently anti-accessible? I feel like there's some weird sorta "undiscoverable by design" sentiment on here sometimes. Is there a way to find out, for instance, if a specific real life person is on mastodon using their given name, without already knowing what instance they're on? Some sort of tool to search like, all the top public instances at once? I don't want to stalk people but it'd be cool to like... look up a band or an artist and see what they're up to.
@nycki@bark.lgbt
you know what mastodon desperately needs? LISTS. there should be a system where you can make lists of people and then follow/block a whole list at a time.
right now there's a problem where I want to be in a bunch of cool local feeds but I don't want to make a ton of duplicate accounts. if those worked like lists instead this would be a non-issue.

On second thought, an even better way to welcome Bluesky, the ATmosphere, BTS Army, and millions of Brazilians to the fediverses is to write a series of posts about it ...

So jetzt mal ehrlich ihr #Fedinauten da draußen, die ihr #Misskey, #Sharkey oder #Iceshrimp nutzt! Wieso nutzt ihr das, was ihr nutzt und was findet ihr besser im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Fedi-Möglichkeiten?
Bin auf der Suche nach einer weiteren Fedi-Software, die ich mir genauer anschauen möchte und muss mich zwischen den dreien entscheiden.
Gerne darf dieser Beitrag zur Entscheidungsfindung geteilt werden. 😜

guter beitrag, wie ich finde.

This is the weirdest rule I have seen so far on a #fediverse server.
@ferdiffz@beige.party
Just to summarize again for my own personal notes:
◾ Hachyderm IO: can follow Threads dot Net, has 500-character post-length limit
◾ Beige Party: cannot follow Threads dot Net, has 11,001-char. post-length limit
◾ Mastodon Social: can follow Threads dot Net, has 450-char. post limit, defederated by many indie Mastodon instances because of dislike towards Gargron (whether ethical or personal etc.)
◾ Mastodon Cloud: cannot follow Threads dot Net, has 450-char. post limit, defederated from many instances because of various distrust issues (large number of registered accounts, crypto/blockchain associations, refuse to be explicitly an anti-Nazi safe-space, etc.)

I know #UX improvements aren’t really always… welcomed in #FOSS (at least, as a UX guy, it feels that way) but I do think a lot can be reconfigured to make Mastodon/the #Fediverse more popular. Side note — I don’t really care if you don’t want fedi to become more popular, I do, because I have an interest in decentralized social media. So this is how I would do things:
@bergmeister@mountains.social
I'm happy to announce, that starting now, mountains.social is open for registrations! 🎉
The instance has a focus on hiking, mountaineering and the outdoors in general.
You can register via https://mountains.social. I have an approval setup, so I can ensure the performance of the instance.

Greetings,
I’m new to the #fediverse, having recently fled from the bird site. I was there for a long time, but almost entirely as a follower and not an active participant. I hope to find more engagement here.
I work and play in the technology realm, where I’m somewhat of a generalist. I’ve been around *nix operating systems since the 80’s. Xenix anyone?
I enjoy #woodworking, #travel, and spending time #outdoors.
Raised in #Oregon now living in #NewEngland
Thanks!

I've been on the #fediverse since the beginning of Nov 2022, actually. This is a new profile on a new instance for me because I've been having a rough go of it lately, with instances run by #bigots and #islamophobes.
@InayaShujaat@paktodon.asia
It’s not enough to simply block bigots. I’m tired of folks telling me to just do that, as if that makes the problem go away. Would you close your eyes when you’re under attack, and pretend that the attack has stopped?
Telling a #minority to block their online attackers is no different. Stop telling us to ignore our attackers.
All other forms of bigotry get handled here in the #fediverse. Start handling #islamophobia the same way.

If you're reading this, please #boost so I can get back to being federated with the #fediverse. Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more #blind folks off #reddit. I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the #NVDA #screenreader, loves #accessibility and works in the field, and reads tons of #fanfic, #litrpg, and #sciencefiction and #fantasy in my spare time. Nice to meet you!

Hey @smallcircles, it just occurred to me to wonder, why is Fediverse Ideas a Codeberg repo? Couldn't it just as easily be a SocialHub category, like Fediversity?

Thoughts?

@matt@writing.exchange · Reply to Matt Baer's post
Maybe it's devs implementing the C2S side of #ActivityPub, or a multi-protocol client, or built-in browser support for the #fediverse. Maybe we need a single entry point to the fediverse, with a smooth interface, easy setup, and a server behind the scenes.
Either way, making "decentralization" central to the user experience here is keeping a ton of people off the network.
@matt@writing.exchange
Reading (on Threads) about why people like #bluesky over #mastodon, and most seems to boil down to usability / wrestling with servers.
Have to agree. And it's why I still think we need a good #fediverse client as an entry point.

Quick fediverse question: as a Mastodon user, how can I interact with content on a Lemmy instance? For example, if someone has posted over at lemmy.ml, how can I use my Mastodon.online account to post a reply to their post? Or is this even possible?

A lot of the criticism of the fediverse focuses on how hard newbies find it to discover accounts to follow, posting stuff they're interested in. Despite all the downsides of recommendation algorithms, semi-random discovery is one thing people find them useful for.
Last year I came up with an idea for a separate app with a range of opt-in discovery algorithms, just for finding people to follow;

Inzwischen haben fast zwei Drittel der Follower von @heiseonline #Mastodon mindestens in Version 4.3.0 und ich bilde mir ein, erste Folgen zu erkennen. Wir sehen womöglich wirklich wieder mehr #Traffic – heute liegt das #Fediverse bislang bspw. vor #Twitter.
Ist natürlich eine Momentaufnahme und X macht immer große Sprünge, aber noch bekommen ja auch viele auf Mastodon weiter jene Vorschaukarten zu sehen, bei denen wir einen Klick darauf nicht zuordnen können. Das behebt das jüngste Update.

Taking a second to really appreciate all that have made the #fediverse what it is here, and empowered the likes of #mastodon. Rarely do I go peek my head at the other sites, but when I do, I’m immediately inundated with ads or garbage shared posts.

Natürlich gibt es hier im #Fediverse auch Arschgeigen und natürlich schauen auch Trolle aus anderen Netzwerken vorbei und versuchen zu stressen. Aber wenn ich mir nur mal die Blocks anschaue, sagt das viel aus: 250 sind's mit dem heutigen Tag... nach 2 Jahren auf #Mastodon. Das ist lächerlich wenig. An jedem dritten fliegt mal jemand raus und kann seinen Hass woanders abladen, aber nicht bei mir. Je nach rechten Trollattacken blockierte ich im Shithole #Twitter nicht selten 250 schon am Morgen zwischen Weckerklingeln und Aufstehen. Und das war noch VOR der Übernahme von #ElonMusk Ende Oktober 2022. Klar, das ist *ein* Indikator für ein gesundes Klima hier von mehreren, aber dennoch beachtenswert. Welche Erfahrungen habt ihr gesammelt? 🤔

#Threads のタイムラインがいろいろ荒れていて #Meta がハンドリングに苦しんでるみたいなニュースを見たので久しぶりに #Threads の自分のタイムラインを眺めてみてるけど、とくに変に悪化した印象はなかった。アカウントによるのかな。
#Fediverse #Mastodon みたいに時系列・自分が明示的にフォローした人だけ見える Following タイムラインだけ見てればよいのではという気もする。
おすすめされることに慣れすぎてしまうと、その仕組みに乗っかろうとする変なアカウントとか、ネガティブ感情を煽ってその仕組みをハックしてインプレッション稼ごうという人が出てきちゃうので、自分のタイムラインは自分でお掃除して、自分の心の安定は自分でつくる！守る！という気持ちとアクション（自分にとってよくない情報は積極的に Block & Mute とか）が大事な気がする
#Threads が #Fediverse に完全に対応しちゃえば、自分はおそらく #Fediverse 側からしか #Threads を見ないだろうし、#Threads が For You タイムラインの取り扱いに苦しんでても、じつはあまり自分にはそもそもあまり影響なさそうな気はしている。
ただ、#Threads からは #Fediverse はまだ見えないし、 For You タイムラインがデフォルトで表示されるそこにいると、たしかに居心地はあまりよくないんだろうけど…（つまりは、#Threads もいいけど居心地悪いならみんな #Fediverse においでよということなんだけど

Please, don't just block/suspend bad accounts; report bad actors whenever possible.
Of course, this isn't always safe. But it really helps us admins if you check the rules of the server the offending user is from and, if they are violating those rules, forward a report to that server.
It's the only defense we have in many cases. We don't see private messages. We can't monitor all accounts' profile contents. Even with 100 moderators, continually auditing all old accounts is unsustainable.
So help us out by making sure we know about the bad stuff before we get defederated.

You may have heard that @Flipboard brought 250 publishers to the Fediverse this week. Here are just a few news outlets you might want to follow:

The #fediverse has been better than other social media options for following info on the #hurricane. Follow hashtags like #HurricaneMilton, #Milton, #Tampa, #Florida, #flwx.
#Threads & #bluesky are pretty useless since they lack good support for search and hashtags. #Twitter & #Facebook are full of misinformation, even about the hurricane.

I really think there needs to be an implemention of shared blocklisting where we can federate blocks from sources we choose. Apparently Bluesky has some features related to this, and I think it needs to be revisited to help for some of these spam attacks. This is the second wave of spam attacks. It's still small, but it may amplify and become as problematic as a few months ago.

Mitra Q&A with @silverpill
Web
In your own words, what is Mitra?
> Mitra is a social media server for the Fediverse.
Why that logo? How did you come up with it?
> The outer shape is known as Rub el Hizb,
>it's an Islamic symbol. There is no deep meaning, I just saw it somewhere and decided to use it as a starting point. I experimented with many different designs and selected one that seemed most interesting and pleasing to the eye. You can spot a bunch of "M"s inside.
Why should more people become familiar with and use federated social media?
> You can have your own Twitter, Facebook or YouTube, connected to thousands of other small networks. Isn't that great?
>I think federation is the best architecture for a decentralized social network. The user experience is decent and the network can scale without compromising on decentralization, as was demonstrated by Email, XMPP and Matrix.
Why did you decide to build Mitra?
> Before Mitra I was working with blockchain technology. At some point I realized that decentralized financial infrastructure needs a social layer, and that existing solutions are inadequate. After doing some research on decentralized social protocols I picked ActivityPub because it was mature, well-designed and had a strong developer community with values similar to mine. The missing pieces were decentralized payments and decentralized identity, so I started working on these problems.
What makes Mitra unique compared to other Fediverse servers?
> So, one of my original goals was integrated payments. I tried several ideas and eventually settled on paid subscriptions. This feature provides a way to accept payments in Monero and publish premium content for paying subscribers.
> The second goal was decentralized identity, or "nomadic identity", as we call it in the Fediverse. This turned out to be a very difficult task, but I've made significant progress. Nomadic identity mechanism allows people to have an account that is not tied to any single server, but exists on many servers simultaneously. My implementation of this mechanism is not complete yet and currently can be used only by developers.
>Mitra also can federate over Tor and I2P networks.
>Besides that, it is very lightweight and easy to host, so it might be a good choice even for those who are not interested in subscriptions and nomadic identity.
What other Fediverse software would you recommend? (Servers, Clients, etc)
> My favorite server is Pleroma.
>I borrowed many ideas from it when Mitra was in the early stages of development.
>Streams
>is also very interesting. It implements nomadic identity in the same way as Mitra, and has many other nice features.
>Among web clients, my favorite was Soapbox, but its developer quit Fediverse (there is now a fork called Mangane).
>For Android devices, I recommend Husky.
In your opinion, what features are most important for censorship resistance?
> In my work I prefer to focus on the positive side of censorship resistance: digital sovereignty. A server that runs on your own hardware and that doesn't depend on any external services is practically unstoppable. This is already possible today with Tor and I2P, but requires specialized technical knowledge, and even if you have it, you can communicate only with a very small number of people.
>So the most important features are those that make this experience more accessible. Ideally, everyone should be able to send messages to millions of followers from a personal social media server that runs on the phone with unstable internet connection.
What are the biggest threats to online free speech, and what do you believe has kept them at bay the best?
>The biggest threat is centralization. It occurs on multiple levels, both technical and social, and every time there is a bottleneck, someone tries to use it to censor their opponents. What keeps it at bay are all those people who invest resources in building decentralized networks and circumvention tools, and those who make information about these tools accessible to the general public.
Are any of the alternative protocols (like nostr) meaningful competition from a censorship resistance perspective?
> Nostr seems to be the only meaningful competition, although it is still not big enough to matter. Other networks are even smaller, or not really decentralized.
>The current situation is really unfortunate because so much effort is wasted in technological dead ends. Fediverse is the biggest decentralized network and is perfectly capable of supporting decentralized identity, the purported lack of which is often used as an excuse to create a competing protocol.
How does a person, or even a small group directly oppose online censorship?
> Use decentralized networks and open source software. Educate others. Ultimately, this a collective action problem, and only together we can make censorship prohibitively expensive and therefore ineffective.
What are your short, medium and long term goals for Mitra?
> In the short term, I'll be working on several basic features that are still missing, such as polls, audience controls and moderation tools. Medium term plans include finishing nomadic identity system, improving premium subscriptions and implementing groups. I'm also planning to release a Rust library for developing ActivityPub applications. In the long term, I want to build a powerful social media server that has everything you need, costs nothing and can run in your pocket.
What motivates you to continue building Mitra into the future?
> I think a tool like Mitra is necessary, an no one else is working on that, so I have no choice but to build it myself.
Outside of just Mitra, how are you working to make the Fediverse even better?
> I proposed a number of standards for the Fediverse, covering message signing, quote posts, federated payments, data portability and other things. I also help maintain a platform for publishing those proposals (Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, or FEPs).
>Every Friday I publish a newsletter about the Fediverse: @weekinfediverse
What's the best way to support your work?
> Try Mitra. If you like what I'm doing, you can help by suggesting improvements, testing different clients, reporting bugs and spreading the word.
>If you're a developer, you can contribute to Mitra or implement my FEPs in your own project.
>I also accept donations. My Monero address is 8Ahza5RM4JQgtdqvpcF1U628NN5Q87eryXQad3Fy581YWTZU8o3EMbtScuioQZSkyNNEEE1Lkj2cSbG4VnVYCW5L1N4os5p

Another thing to highlight:
"While other social media platforms have teams of hundreds of engineers working on them, we operate on less than 500K USD annually with a team of only 4 full-time employees, and a number of contractors."
This is very important to know and remember.

@stefano@bsd.cafe
In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!
Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

"our focus for the next release will be on implementing the highly requested features of quote posts, as well as the ability for server operators to subscribe to managed blocklists"

I know a lot of the #fediverse likes to poop all over #ChatGPT, but I did just spend the past 30 mins getting it to code something that I would not have been able to do otherwise with A LOT more time (and research).
A simple flash card plaything, so that I can toggle between Norwegian and English words.
On a computer; up/down arrows switch card, left/right toggle languages.
On mobile; tapping switches language, swiping up changes the word.

そそ、ActivityPubにおける「グローバルビューの欠如」は不必要な文化の衝突を防ぐための意図的なものであるのよね。最初から全ての人がつながっているとそれだけ衝突が発生しやすくなる。 
@nibushibu@vivaldi.net
#Bluesky は #Fediverse の課題点を技術的に克服し得るものとして #ActivityPub に変わる新たな #ATProtocol を作ったという流れは理解してるけど、その #Fediverse の課題点がそもそも従来のように「SNS はグローバルビューをもつべき」という世界観から見たときの「課題感」だと思っていて、#Fediverse はそもそも「適度に分断し、適度に繋がる」ということを前提として設計されていて理想像がそもそも違うし、それを「#Fediverse には投稿の無断収集に文化的抵抗がある」という話だけでなんとなく「ネガティブで保守的な文化がある」という感じにしか書かれていないのが少し残念だった。
なぜ #Fediverse にそういう文化があって、なんでそれが一定数そこで支持されてるのかということまで深堀りしていくと、そこにはもうちょっとポジティブな見方もできることもあるはずなんだけどなーと。
ただ、どこにでも原理主義的な考えはあるように、たしかに #Fediverse には「勝手にクロールされる」ということに強烈に拒否反応を示す人がいたり、そういう人の声で串刺し検索サービスが「もう無理ー」と潰れてしまったことは、事実、自分が #Mastodon #VivaldiSocial 始めたあとにもあったし、#Mastodon に現状の検索機能にも結構強く反対している人がいたのは見ているので、確かにそういう文化的「傾向」というのはあるとは思うし、対抗する #BlueSky が目指す理想もわかるところはある。
じゃあ #Bluesky が「良い」のか？といえば自分にとってはそんなことはなくて、現状ではむしろ #Bluesky こそ稼働しているインスタンスはほぼ中央集権だし、結局「技術的に分散可能というだけで実質中央集権」みたいな「分散型という傘をかぶっただけの存在」になる可能性はあると思う。
その点、標準化団体が標準技術としてすでに定めている #ActivityPub に対応した複数のソフトフェアがあって、またインスタンスの大小があるにせよ、それらのソフトウェアが使われた複数のサーバーを個人や企業が運用していて、それがすでに連合しているという実績も #Fediverse にはあって、それを無視して従来の SNS の視点でみた「グローバルビューがない」という観点だけ（※）で過小評価するのはフェアじゃないような。
※
アカウントポータビリティは少なくとも にはあるし、スケーラビリティーについても、理論的限界はそうであっても、実際には時間が改善・解決していく部分もあるし、今必要なスケールに対応できているのであればそんなにクリティカルな問題じゃないと個人的には思っている

I've been using Saturn for iOS for a bit now and ever since the most recent updates, it seems very enjoyable.
It has most of the same features as other third party Mastodon apps, but with its own look and feel.
I think the only thing that could make it better for me, would be if it had a "Hashtag Drawer" type feature for the composer so that I could save individual hashtags with CamelCase for re-use.
It's something I've been wanting in a Fediverse app for SO long.
But if you want a new app to mess around with, Saturn is very good from what I've seen with it.👍

"Let’s make it trivial to connect all the things, while also making it easier for people to control who they connect with using the things."

What I was getting a false binary, which I suspect is underlying the arguments on both sides of ongoing debates around social web federation. Like the pros and cons of federating with Meta's mega-server, or bridges to Nostr and BlueSky.

So here's a crazy thing.
Four years ago—only four!—I was very excited to have *finally reached* a personal milestone on the birdsite of…
900 followers. 😅
It would eventually grow to nearly 2,500…and then I walked away completely. (You know why!)
I eclipsed that number a while back here on Mastodon, and I suppose my next goal is to reach 3,000.
All just vanity metrics of course… but wow, what a difference four years makes! 😃 #fediverse #ftw

There's not a shred of compassion/empathy for what Mozilla is trying to do! At all!

Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!
#LibreFM #LastFM #Fediverse #SocialWeb #IndieWeb #ActivityPub #GNU #GNUProject #Music #FediMusic
![Screenshot from the linked article reading:
"Next steps
• I [Matt Lee] want you to have a personal website and have your listening habits on your own website, not my website. But I know some people won't want that, which is fine but Libre.fm is effectively a silo (other than Last.fm which it talks to, although federation with other instances has been possible for a long time) and has over 372,000 registered users and 302 million scrobbles.

Use specific hashtags to make your posts easier to find by search. Use general hashtags to make your posts easier to ignore by people who are not interested. Here are some general hashtags followed by specific ones they might cover:
From now on I will also try to only boost properly marked posts, since followers will see what I boost as well. If I really want to boost your post and it isn’t hash-tagged, I will link your post.
What prompted me to do this was that I was just talking with one of my online buddies, and she was saying how difficult it is on Mastodon to filter-out computer and tech-related posts. She wants to follow people like me and many others, but we have a tendency to post mostly about tech and computers. And since Mastodon is unfortunately still fairly niche and used mostly by tech-lovers, it is nearly impossible for her to filter out all the tech-related posts, no matter how many hashtag filters she sets up.
So what I am going to do, and I recommend you (dear reader) do the same, is always include very general hashtags that make it easier to filter out my post, along with more specific hashtags so people interested might find it.

What is the future of identity on the social web? Could it span federation protocols and be baked into the internet itself? What could it look like to everyday users and how would it be used?
There’s no better person to ask than @jay.bsky.team CEO of Bluesky. Jay's extensive experience and deep knowledge about the promise, products and protocols underlying the fediverse is legendary.
If you’re building for the #fediverse this conversation will get you thinking and inspired. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts or watch it on our PeerTube instance:

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Boosts !
First, yes! You should absolutely boost the posts that you like on Mastodon! 
Boosting (reposting) is a very important feature on Mastodon! Because there are no algorithm to push content in your timeline, it is what others post and repost that you see chronologically.
Boosting keeps Mastodon alive!
Do it! Boost it!
That being said,
if you personally get annoyed by someone else's boosts, know that you have options:
1. Everyone should enable the "Group boosts in timelines" option. You can find it from the browser interface in "Preferences" > "Other" at the very top. This will hide new boosts for posts that have been recently boosted 
2. You can hide all of someone's boosts without hiding their original posts. Go to the person's profile, select the 3-dot "Menu" button (in the browser interface, this will vary per mobile app), and select "Hide boosts from [handle]" 
3. You can mute someone's posts temporarily (boosts and originals). On the same "Menu", select "Mute [handle]" then "Show options." You can select between 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days 🤐
4. Know also that you are more likely to notice someone boosting a post repeatedly if you follow few people. Because there are no algorithm here, it is also a good idea to follow more people. Especially if you find your timeline too quiet 
5. Don't forget to boost the posts that you like! ✨

Want a piece of PieFed? I'm now running a PieFed instance: https://feddit.online
A long time ago I had a #KBIN instance, feddit.online. KBIN is part of the "threadiverse", a Reddit replacement.
When KBIN was abandoned, I shut it down. KBIN became #MBIN and Jerry Bell opened a fantastic MBIN instance, fedia.io, to go along with the mother ship instance. I didn't see a reason to open yet another MBIN instance. So feddit.online remained parked ... until now.
Ending its time in beta, there is a new #Reddit #Fediverse replacement, #PieFed, which is similar to MBIN in how it works, but is built with different technology.
While MBIN is mainly written in PHP and Node, and uses RabbitMQ for queuing, PieFed is written using Flask/Python, with Celery for queuing.
I'm much more familiar with Python than PHP, and so PieFed is particularly interesting to me. I might even be able to contribute to the project someday when I get through learning the codebase and learning Flask.
More information about PieFed is here: https://join.piefed.social/features/ and https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-4-lemmy-piefed-mbin/
Want to play with PieFed?
https://feddit.online is available now. Registration is immediately available while I'm available to watch, but restricted when I'm not watching. If restricted, you just need to give a quick reason for joining and then be patient.
Also, some email providers have an issue with email addresses ending in .social, especially that come from a mail server hosted on Digital Ocean. If joining, check your spam filter and white list notitifications@feddit.online
Remember, it's beta. So there may be issues and there may be downtime at times to address upgrades and what not. Also, I've been so busy bringing up the server that I haven't had a chance to learn everything yet about it, so I may not have answers to questions.
It seems to run efficiently, but I'm unsure if I sized the server optimally. I will grow it if need be.
Welcome to anyone interested in checking out PieFed!

My hill is that on the fediverse, if you think something is worth showing to others, you should boost it.
Even if it looks mainstream. "It's a comic strip, it's a meme, I bet people has already seen it". That only works for the large places like mastodon.social, but not if you're being followed from smaller instances.
On the edge of the network, receiving popular posts is harder. I like to boost things in case it helps someone out there discover cool things and accounts.

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink
Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.
In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.
It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.
For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Well, considering leaving #Reddit
After moderating and building up my sub-reddit there ( reddit.com/r/SteamDeckPirates ) from 6K members to nearly 28K: for just under a year I find Reddit's new stance where they say they won't allow moderators to make their OWN subs private just...makes me angry
The idea that I do so much, and am not in control (they have done this to prevent further protests) leaves me soured.
#mastodon might just be my whole world now, the #fediverse might be it!

Ugh. Threads keeps adding Fediverse features that are only benefitting themselves.
They can now see our usernames if we follow them and if we like their posts.
Still can't mention us or follow us back...which is the main part that's keeping their integration from being functional.🤦♂️😩

#die5sprints von zum ersten mal was mit elektronik bis zum eigenen stueck sozialem netzwerk. -- eine private bastelinitiative geboren auf dem #scrumday 2024 ;)
dafuer ein paar deutsche defaults, die hilfreich sind:
keine angst, wir beginnen ganz langsam. vorher noch ein paar abmachungen:
jede woche gibt es eine neue, asynchrone "sprint-einladung". wir sind jedoch kein scrum team. wir orientieren uns an den scrum events (nicht #scrum-events ;) und haben jedesmal ein funktionierendes inkrement als sprintziel.
zu jedem start werde ich einen post absetzen und nach und nach den thread dazu fuellen. das mache ich im #fediverse und nicht auf #linkedin, denn sonst waere es ja wieder "nur geborgt".
allgemein geht eine grosse macht von einigen wenigen konzernen aus. "digital literacy" ist teil der future skills, verkuemmert aber dank konsum weitverbreiteter, fremdbestimmter plattformen.
ich bin der meinung, dass soziale netzwerke unter demokratischer kontrolle und mit gruenem strom laufen sollten.
total gespannt bin ich drauf, ob dieser inkrementelle wissenserwerb wirklich zu mehr in wohnungen betriebenen inhalten fuehrt.

To all you #developers implementing #SSRF protections in your #fediverse applications...
We are all in favor of those protections. But!
Have a setting that lets projects like #FediTest override it. Otherwise how can anybody test interop on anything other than on the public internet?
Mastodon has a ALLOWED_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES setting, which is one way of doing it. Or just have a setting with a default value of what's disabled, and let people override it. Or whatever.
But we need something ...

@pfefferle I look forward to seeing this federated future! Ironically, the main reason I signed up with @wordpressdotcom was because of the #ActivityPub plugin.
I think with a few tweaks, #WordPress could become the super app within the #Fediverse.
I do hope the #BuddyPress & #bbPress teams jump on board, as greater ActivityPub integration could help rejuvenate these social WordPress “projects” (as they would provide competitive balance against #Facebook & #Reddit).

I remember the back and forth about it when they rolled it out, and personally not being that bothered by it.
Most of the time, tags are used within a sentence so it isn't noticeable. However when added to the end of a post like this example and pushed to the Fediverse, the result can seem confusing.

A Fedi-Coming-to-Jesus:
More than even the threat of #Meta, if the #Fediverse does not address its anti-Blackness in the general populace, it will rot the community from the inside out.
You can hate me for mentioning it if you want, but you know it's true. Deep down, you can feel it, too. Sometimes, we’re afraid to admit a problem we don't immediately know how to fix.
And that's fine—it's human. But history is clear about what happens if we don't figure this out.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think the #Fediverse needs to *brace* for when Musk removes muting and blocking.

About to give Saturn another go for a few days hopefully.
The dev has removed the post limit for free users, which is definitely good.
Paying to post on Fediverse where everywhere else is free, is wild.
They also said they fixed the crash bug with notifications. Those two things immediately killed my motivation with wanting to use the app so hopefully it's better this time.🤞

Hello everyone!
I use Xubuntu and try to go the #foss way as much as possible :duckduckgo: :gimp: :firefox: :xubuntu: :fdroid: :nextcloud:
I've been using Diaspora and the Friendica for a while—now decided to give Mastodon a go! #introductions #newhere
Also trying to get my friends to join the #fediverse (though that's a slow process 😕).
@suguru@mstdn.progressiv.dev
It is a right movement that discussions about proper moderation of a #fediverse instance started to take place. I do understand its seriousness but the elephant in the room is that anyone can theoretically and practically fork implementations and their protocols to create "free" instances where no moderation and governance exist, and it is those moderations where serious and outright illegal abuses tend to happen without being noticed.

There's something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile.
Quote posts, limiting of quote posts, and how those features might be added to core AP.
As it is now, the way Threads does quote posting is when a person adds a link to another Threads post, it automatically turns into a "quote post".
They also have the option to limit posts from being quoted, which in turn completely stops anyone on Threads linking to that post.
To me, that is wild, but I can see it making sense on a closed platform.
However, given the way Fediverse works and a ton of people have their own instance/website, I think it would be absolutely asinine to attempt to stop someone from simply posting a link to another post.
Links have been part of the internet for awhile now and there's no other platform that stops people from using links, AFAIK.
So, to those working on AP, please consider another route for quote posts because if I cannot link to something on my own website, I'll be pretty livid honestly.

Notifications crash the app, that's about all I can say....😬
@JPEGuin, I would definitely remove the limit on posting. I'm a poster, if I can't post without paying, I'll use something else.
Also, the app crashed several times in the short time I've had with it. The most consistent being when I tried to open my notifications, it crashed every time.
Overall, I can't say much more because I was very limited by the paywall.🤷♂️

The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @evan @mallory and @tomcoates.
The foundation's focus is educating the public and policy makers about the social web, enhancing and extending the ActivityPub protocol, and building tools and plumbing to make the social web easier to use. “With this program, The Social Web Foundation can catalyze more growth on the Fediverse while improving user experience and safety,” says Prodromou. “Our goal is to unblock users, developers and communities so they can get the most out of their social web experience.”
We are proud to support the work of the foundation. Read more about the it here:

So... Has anyone on here actually talked with the people from the #SocialWebFoundation?
I can tell the #Mastodon Organization has, but #Threads is also listed there, while I don't see any other names that aren't some corporate entity. I'm all for groups that want to expand the #Fediverse, even for-profit ones, but it's a red flag when an organization that purports to be for a general movement doesn't have an open line of communication with rank-and-file server-runners and volunteers...
Edit:
I just realized that it was founded by @evan who is actually very active in mainstream Fedi, and one of the maintainers of the actual protocol. While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou

I'm intrigued by some posts I've seen saying that Mastodon, or more generally the Fediverse, has the same problem with minorities that we find widely on traditional social media platforms, especially the big tech ones like x and meta. I disagree if you compare it to the cases where constantly outrageous posts appear on your timeline harming minorities.
How could technology solve a problem that is inherently caused by human beings? If, at the moment, this federated social media is still not a safe space for minorities, isn't this a good time and a great opportunity to solve the moderation problems while we still have far fewer people active here? Offenders will not cease to exist, and technology can only mitigate the damage they can cause.
We have a big challenge if this is really going to scale.

A few very quick questions on something I'm troubleshooting.
I'm trying to use @bsky.brid.gy to make my BlueSky account visible from the Fediverse, and also make this Mastodon account visible on BlueSky.
Here's the link to my BlueSky account on the Fediverse: @ajsadauskas.bsky.social
Unfortunately, at least from @Vivaldi Social, I'm having a couple of issues. Namely, only a couple of posts are visible, and I seem to be unable to follow that account.
So just a few questions for people (especially on other Mastodon instances):
1) Can you view @ajsadauskas.bsky.social?
2) If so, roughly how many posts are visible?
3) Can you follow that account?
4) If you click follow, go to another page and come back, does it still say following?

The #Fediverse is truly the best form of Social Media we have so far. Sure it isn't perfect, but it is better than Facebook, Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, etc... BECAUSE it is decentralized and open-source.
Also there is no AI presence on the Fediverse, so that is definitely a plus

I read that the official Mastodon instance of the Swiss government will be closing down.
They say there are few active users, low engagement, and minimal interaction, which seems quite plausible. Additionally, they claim that "on platforms like X or Instagram, the Federal Council and the Federal Administration have many more followers." I believe that too, of course.
However, I do not agree with their decision. I think a government shouldn’t be overly concerned about follower counts and interactions, but rather about providing free, autonomous communication that is independent of third-party companies. In my view, a government shouldn’t operate like a business focused on "numbers."
Still, I appreciate their experiment - many governments, like the Italian one, haven’t even tried.
Regarding costs and management effort: an instance with 5 users and 3,500 followers (numbers provided by them) can run on a VPS for €3 a month and doesn't require heavy moderation. The cost for them is nearly zero. Yet, the freedom of information and discussion, especially for a Neutral Country, should always be a priority.
I believe that maintaining control over one’s information channels is crucial, especially in today's world. But, I fear that decision-makers only consider the numbers, which often favor the flashiest - but worse - solutions.
Encouraging citizens to use closed platforms is, in my opinion, a wrong choice.
Thanks to the Swiss government for at least giving it a shot.

So I have some questions about the state of the #fediverse on #WordPress.
Is it possible to migrate this account’s followers/following to my WordPress site (assuming I’m using it as an #activityPub source)
Is it possible to actually follow people and get some kind of feed, interacting with that account with other users?
I think the answer is still solidly “no” to both of those, but it would be good to get some context on how people are dealing with this today.
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
i am personally more in favor of a "social Web" than a "social network".
what i want to do is make it easier for anyone to make a website, and to manage that website.
i want those websites to be able to link to each other in well-defined and clearly-understood ways.
i want to make friends and express myself to the fullest, in varying contexts on various websites, without context collapse.
but it feels like #fediverse is more interested in replicating the "social network" paradigm.

@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
it's like... you literally just told me "knows" = "is familiar with", but because of your own ignoring of your own context, you can't handle me saying "is familiar with"?
in this way, as long as the #fediverse remains ignorant of context, they will remain fragile and without any sort of robustness in their "protocol".
the alternative they have is to extend the only context they share, which is the AS2 one. but this doesn't solve the problem. it just officially blesses a single term.
27/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
which is to say: #fediverse software generally expects LD-aware producers to compact against their own "implicit context", but they don't always define that context. it's left undeclared and undefined. or it actually *is* declared, but if you give them their own expanded form then they'll not understand it.
it's like someone saying hey, when i say "knows", i mean "is familiar with"
and then you say "john is familiar with sally"
and they respond WTF? what does "is familiar with" mean?
26/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
this is because #fediverse is ignoring context. the implicit context is that `discoverable` means `http://joinmastodon.org/ns#discoverable` but they don't know that. so they can't actually handle the extension in its fullest form.
what AS2 calls out as "full support for extensions" requires being able to identify this equivalence and handle it. again, fedi does... let's call it "partial support".
the "implicit context" is now a hardcoded but unstated requirement of this "protocol".
25/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
so what do you actually lose out on when you ignore json-ld context?
you first have to fall back to the "implicit context", where AS2 terms are generally agreed upon, but nothing else is guaranteed.
take something like `discoverable` from mastodon. what does it mean? well, it means whatever is defined in the mastodon codebase and documentation. so we could represent that as http://joinmastodon.org/ns#discoverable or shorten that with a prefix. but if we do, then most #fediverse will choke on that.
24/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
are these things part of the "protocol"? how far does the "protocol" extend to cover? because, as we established, #ActivityPub is not enough to build a fully functional #fediverse -- and a lot of extensions and additional specs are things that ought to be included in this "protocol", insofar as this "protocol" is desirable.
the other thought:
if you ignore things, that means there are cases you're not handling, losing out on robustness. ignoring context is to ignore shared understanding.
23/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
now there's a few thoughts i have here:
#fediverse culturally seems to ignore a lot of other things as well. they ignore http caching for example. they ignore http status codes like 301 Permanent Redirect. these requirements are arguably more important than context, and they *still* get ignored.
in fact, most fedi software is mostly just reimplementing Web browsers, but with what they consider to be the "bare minimum" of compliance. and the web they let you browse is smaller than the Web
22/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
but it's not like AS2 didn't think of this. they wrote in this requirement: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#extensibility
> Activity Streams 2.0 implementations that wish to fully support extensions MUST support Compact URI expansion as defined by the JSON-LD specification.
note, you aren't required to implement all of json-ld. you just need to handle the bit where you can identify the equivalence between a uri and some arbitrary string.
but #fediverse mostly decided this is too hard, and ignore context.
21/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
what json-ld does, or what it allows you to do, is explicitly declare a `@context` that is equivalent to your "implicit context".
this works fine if there is only one declaration that is shared exactly between two parties, but it gets complicated when the "implicit context" differs or isn't an exact match.
this means that there cannot ever be a singular #fediverse network, because the "implicit context" differs between each software project. the only guaranteed overlap is the AS2 one.
20/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
indeed, the #fediverse is more closed-world than open-world. you see this in the so-called "rejection" of json-ld among presumably the majority of fedi implementations. because for the most part, AS2 lets you ignore json-ld. it only matters for extensibility, and (specific criticisms of json-ld aside) json-ld also mostly allows you to ignore it.
so why do people still complain about it?
well, there is the concept of "context" in json-ld, which represents shared understanding.
13/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
the challenge in closed-world systems is how to scale communication and coordination as the number of implementers grows. without a central authority, it almost inevitably leads to power coalescing in the hands of the few most popular or largest implementations, who become the "de facto" standard and get to mostly do what they want, and everyone else mostly has to follow if they want to be compatible.
sound familiar? it should, because this is the model that the #fediverse follows today.
12/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
the way extensibility works in a closed-world #fediverse is that "every implementer talks to every other implementer". or maybe there is a central registry of extensions that everyone submits to their authority, as stewards of the "protocol" that is used to build the "network". this trades out the n:n relation between implementers and other implementers, for an n:1 relation between implementers and the central registry.
the way extensibility works in an open-world #Web is you just do it.
11/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
to build the #fediverse as its own "social networking protocol" then seemingly requires that we instead go with the closed-world assumption, contrary to the #Web
it requires ahead-of-time communication and coordination, where implementers need to be willing and available to talk to any other implementer, and this load grows with every new implementer.
it requires you to be aware of other extensions, present and future, because your extension might conflict with someone else's extension.
10/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
this is the fundamental divide between #fediverse thinking and #Web thinking, where #ActivityPub straddles the line between both.
i've seen it said that the "open-world assumption" at the foundation of the Web is actually an undesirable thing for a "social networking protocol", and as a consequence, specs built on that open-world assumption are "completely unsuitable" for that "protocol".
but do we need a "social networking protocol"? do we even need "social networks" in the first place?
9/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
but before you build a "protocol" for a "network", consider: what even is a "network", in this context? and, here's the hot take: do you even *want* that kind of "network"? do you want a separate reified #fediverse network?
because the answer that #ActivityPub gives is actually a different one. There is no "AP network", because AP as a protocol is not enough to build a concrete network. it is intended to provide, and exists in context of, the larger #Web.
8/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
but beyond that, what does #ActivityPub actually do for #fediverse as a "network" "protocol"? basically nothing. you have a basic mechanism for delivering activities directly to subscribers, but no specified shape or structure for that payload. and you still need a lot of other specs to end up with something that talks to the "network". even with AS2 vocab, you need more vocab extensions to express things you want to.
simply put, AP is not enough for a "protocol" to build a "network".
7/?

when #ActivityPub was being standardized alongside AS2 it basically had two compelling reasons for what would become the #fediverse to adopt it:
- it was built on AS2, which was an evolution of AS1, which was already being used. so it wasn't hard to make the jump.
- it made followers-only posts possible, because while atom feeds *could* do this, it was wildly inconvenient to actually do it that way. posting something private to an inbox is a lot simpler, no juggling access control tokens.

@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
which is to say: the primary reason that #ActivityPub is used (to the extent you can say it is being used at all) in the #fediverse is mostly historical.
fedi grew out of a long line of open protocols, and before AP was adopted, it was at the point where people primarily used "activity streams" as their vocabulary and data model, stuffed into atom feeds. atom feeds don't do private posts unless you make an entirely new access-controlled feed, possibly with a token of some sort. hence, AS2.

@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
but this assumption starts to break down when you look a little closer.
first, consider #ActivityPub C2S. why is there close to zero usage of this in #fediverse software? simple: it doesn't solve any needs for building a "network" "protocol".
now consider S2S. why are there zero compliant impls in fedi? because AP as specified doesn't address the needs of fedi. what does fedi need? well, i find it telling that the "real" reason AP was adopted was... to implement followers-only posts.

@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
i think this disconnect between #ActivityPub and #fediverse honestly goes a lot deeper than people might realize. and that is because the problem AP tries to solve is actually completely different from what fedi is trying to do.
the concept of a nebulous but mostly singular "network" or "protocol" (made up of partially overlapping parts) is core to what i'll call "fedi mindset". the assumption is that you can join the fedi "network" by implementing the fedi "protocol". and that AP is this.
3/?
@trwnh@mastodon.social · Reply to infinite love ⴳ's post
the main contention is a disconnect between #ActivityPub as a spec and #fediverse as a protocol/network. a lot of problems cited were with the fediverse as implemented, wishful thinking about what could be changed in spec, many backwards-incompatible, mostly in service of making fediverse impl less painful.
there is a recurring refrain about implementers deciding they don't care to implement AP as specified, and that this indicates a problem with the spec, not a problem with implementers.

Look, I’m going to be completely honest. Some aspects of today’s events, and some elements leading up to it, have given me bad vibes. I’m not trying to assasinate Evan’s character or make him look like a bad person, but I want to characterize some of the dynamic problems I’m seeing from coopting “The Social Web” as a term, and equating it, #Fediverse, and #ActivityPub as all one-and-the-same.
I might get flamed for sharing this, but I have to be honest about what I really think, and why I have some problems stomaching how things are happening.

My friendica account was deleted months ago. Yet I continue to see my posts floating around mastodon servers.
It appears to me if I want to delete a fediverse account, I'm going to have to send delete requests for every message on that account first, wait a week or three, then close out the account.
And it still probably won't fully work.
It shouldn't be like this, and normal users should be made aware of the risk.
@jon@vivaldi.net
Really sad to see Mozilla give up on their Mozilla.Social server. We all need to work together to grow the Fediverse.
Should any of you need a new home, you are welcome at Vivaldi.social.
@trwnh@mastodon.social
idk where to really put this (might turn into a blog post later or something). it's what you might call a "hot take", certainly a heterodox one to some parts of the broader #fediverse community. this is in response to recent discussion on "what do you want to see from AP/AS2 specs" (in context of wg rechartering) mostly devolving into people complaining about JSON-LD and extensibility, some even about namespacing in general (there was a suggestion to use UUID vocab terms. i'm not joking)

One thing I'd like to see more of in the fediverse are creative and gimmicky (in a good way!) instances, like https://oulipo.social, where you can't use the letter E in your posts.

Corporate social media locks you in to their platforms, but projects like the Fediverse put you in control to build a more free, more private, and better moderated web. It's exciting to see more people working to make independent social media even better.

The Social Web Foundation is launching today. It's a non-profit for the W3C standard, ActivityPub.

Hi Fedi. I've been here for a few years, but allow me to re-introduce myself.
I'm a 40+ year old Dad with 4 kids, a Christian, an enviromancer, and a huge, leftist nerd who loves him some manga and Animal Crossing.
I always enjoy a Dad Jokes and post constantly about ACNH. Feel free to judge, I embrace any cringe.
Other interests include:
Music (most genres, but especially talk about K-Pop), NFL Football (Ravens), US Politics (leftist)

✅ It simplifies the admin panel of a server with a selection of plugin switches
🧡 It's completely FREE for server admins
🎁 It comes packed full of features which an admin can choose to activate, including topical Channels!
Interested? Get in touch. We'd love to hear from you and add you to our early access list!

After being off the the #fediverse for some time I'm struck with how many reposting and adbots there are. Or maybe it's just me going overboard when subscribing to #relay servers?
In any case, it's like the smog of the industrial revolution - It's a very noticeable sign of progression and people jumping on to the steam wagon, but we could still do without it.

The issue of pronouns keeps coming up, and it makes me wonder if there might be a way to ease that. While yes, there are idiots who purposely misgender, how often does it come down to just being a little lazy? Most of us list our pronouns in our profile, and when we're replying to something unless we've interacted with someone before, we have to leave the thread to determine proper pronouns. My suggestion would be for app makers like @IceCubesApp and others to pull pronoun info for accounts that are @'Ed and display it off to the side. If web interfaces adopt a similar strategy, I would hope it would help diminish much of the misgendering.
@murdoc@autistics.life
Trying out this #introduction thing (finally).
Unemployed computer tech and aspiring novelist. Came to Mastodon because of the #foss and #fediverse thing, as I'm quite fond of open standards and non-corporate media (and well, anything really). I wasn't quite sure how to use it since I had never touched xitter, and didn't get the whole micro-blogging thing. I was always more of a forums/Reddit kind of person (I'm on Lemmy now instead BTW). But I found this place to be a great source of information, support, and community regarding autism and #NeuroDiversity since I am a late-self-realized #actuallyautistic and #ActuallyADHD (a.k.a. #AuDHD ) Turns out that "neurodiversity" has been a "special interest" of mine for a long time, before I even knew the word for it. So I spend a lot of time here, probably more than I should. 😛
I'm also working on several projects that I guess can only be collectively referred to as "social benefit" projects. I'll talk about those occasionally and even asking for help, because they are big projects that will need many people and I don't work so well by myself.
And I'm also one of those progressive, lefty, pinko, equal rights, social justice, digital freedom, privacy advocating, LGBT+ ally type people. I grew up on Star Trek ok? They debated whether a cloud of gas or a big rock was actually a person or not. Makes the crap we have to deal with right now IRL seem pretty stupid.
So if you like talking about that kind of stuff, or any of my copious other SpIns (many of which are in my profile), I'm game.

I was a huge fan of @mozilla@mozilla.social and #Firefox for years – to me, they always stood for #openness, #privacy, and a free #internet.
But ever since Laura Chambers took over, it feels like Mozilla is completely losing its way. 🤔
Instead of focusing on the #browser, they’re starting projects that have little to do with their core mission. Commercial partnerships are on the rise, and now they’re even shutting down their own #Mastodon instance. That was the perfect opportunity to push #decentralization and openness in the #Fediverse. 🌐
#Firefox used to be my go-to recommendation for privacy – but sadly, I can’t say that anymore. 😕
💬 Do you have any recommendations for a #browser on #macOS and #iOS that focuses on privacy, syncs easily, and is still customizable?

Damn it, #Mastodon subculture has a crap reputation and it’s honestly mostly deserved. The HOA nickname tracks. I just can’t figure the space out. There’s anger that people are using #bluesky and #Nostr , there’s a strong hostility toward content creators and influencers. They call people too stupid for calling #Fediverse & Mastodon too confusing. People attack and criticise those that remain on Big Social. A popular minority ran instance was shutdown due to the insane harassment, devs that do anything the people don’t like are relentlessly viscously attacked. Black and Brown people were told to CW their lives racist experiences and when sharing about their #fedi harassment they’re told to digitally segregate and that it can’t be true as others haven’t seen it nor experienced it. Yet, Mastodon is supposedly the nicest of social networks, that’s as big as lie any Trump told this week. I honestly, don’t want any Black and Brown people to come here, not yet anyways

To me, #Mozilla shutting down mozilla.social is just a part of the #fediverse evolution; It's consolidation.
It's a natural part of any ecosystem in a capitalist economy. It's rarely feasible for a large number of small players to be commercially viable, so seeing instances disappear is just part of the cycle of grow, consolidate, repeat.
What would be great would be if the folk at @MastodonEngineering would release a method of allowing users to move their entire message history around.

Dear #fediverse ,
may I suggest you double check you're using the correct #language when posting/replying?
Because if you don't and, say, write in #German while having #English as declared post language instead, people won't be able to use the built-in "#Translate" function.

これ、#Mozilla の :mastodon: #Mastodon 単体で考えればべつにアカウント引っ越しもできるし、ユーザーには逃げ道があるという意味で（その手間がかかるとはいえ）それが :fediverse: #Fediverse ⁂ で良かったね、という話も出来るんだけど、
いかんせん、それ以前に「 #Mozilla 大丈夫？」という印象のほうがネガティブな意味で大きい。
どっちかって言うと #MozillaSocial よりも #Firefox のユーザーへの心象というか影響を心配してしまう。
世間的にも冷遇されつつある #Firefox をユーザーがどういう気持ちで応援して使ってるかということを考えると、こういうふうに #Mozilla がどこに向かってるかわからないフラフラした動きをしている（ように見える）のは、結構心が折れるきっかけになりかねないんじゃないかな…
自分も今はあんまり最近は #Firefox 使う機会がかなり減ってるけど、それでも歴史あるブラウザーエンジンが健全な Web のために #Firefox の中で生き続けてほしいと応援はしているので、色々心配になってしまう。
本分である #Firefox の改善に注力するんだと思いたい。（がんばれ

For the new folks joining #Mastodon and the #fediverse overall, welcome! It's good to see you filling out a short bio and an avatar to get to know you, but be sure to *engage* with those you follow and remember to "be excellent to each other" when you do. Use CWs if you wonder if your post/toot/whatever is appropriate (better safe than sorry), and provide image descriptions to aid the visually impaired on the fedi.
For the most part, everyone is mindful of others on the fedi ("Do unto others...", that ol' chestnut). Be sure to do the same. :flan_heart: ✌🏻
@claudiom@bsd.network
For all of the newcomers from the #TwitterMigration and #RedditMigration, welcome! That being said, please make sure to engage with those you wish to follow. I understand that some might be a bit apprehensive to do so given the experience whence you came, but most of us won't bite and are pretty friendly.
Personally, I'm more willing to accept, and follow, folks who not only provide an #introduction or multiple #introductions, but also show engagement with others on the #fediverse. Even if you don't have an avatar configured but are positively and constructively engaging with others, I'll accept and even follow.
However, if all I see when I visit your actual page for more information is a blank avatar, no posts, and no basic info about you even after a number of days, chances are that I'll be very hesitant to accept. 👁️ #psa

@darth They've been holding #Fediverse back by not implementing interoperability standards. Been seeing too many instances of it. They come across as another wannabe-twitter kind of organization.

Ok #Fediverse, my 7yo son wants to be a 'YouTuber' 🤮 😢
I am telling him that #PeerTube and #Pixelfed are the way.
After a year of posting @arthen he has 11 followers.
After a few months on @tremytwr he has 2 subscribers (both are me).
Make a little boy happy and give him a follow 🙏 let's show him the future is federated!!

As I've been having some difficulties in life this year I though it's finally time to establish a proper administrative edge on our Mastodon server. Our 292 users deserve it. This ensures the continuity of everything and most of all gives me a peace of mind, because no longer need to handle everything alone.

Das Fediverse bietet einen ganz neuen Weg, wie wir unabhängig Dinge digital veröffentlichen und uns darüber austauschen können. Egal ob das jetzt Kurznachrichten, Bilder, Videos, Podcasts, Artikel, wissenschaftliche Papers, Open Educational Resources oder Events sind.
Mastodon ist ideal für Kurznachrichten, für passives lesen, oder für kurze Interaktionen. Entsprechende Software spezialisiert auf #OER oder Wissenschaftliches wird auch noch kommen!

I discovered the FediForum unconference on Mastodon and spent the next three days learning about ActivityPub, web fingers and hooks, and the history and politics of federated social media from some of the originators. I’ll have to level up my technical skills, again. I spent a few hours finding, learning about, and following folks across Mastodon instances and then closing scores of tabs.

@Raccoon@techhub.social
Reminder that donating to the Harris campaign through #MastodonForHarris isn't just about the total amount of money raised, it's about the number of donations.
Of course we aren't going to outraise these billionaires, but what all these people who are willing to throw even $5 at this thing are showing the political world is that this is a network full of people who are engaged enough in politics to put our money where our mouth is. You can't say Harris doesn't have any supporters here, nor can you say we are just sitting on the sidelines, when over 100,000 people have given her money.
And you know, if someone is willing to give you $5, they are most definitely going to vote for you. You might even be able to get them to volunteer, or strategize around what this large group is doing.
This is a show of power.
This is proof that, if they give this network a chance, it could be a good place to get support from.

@clacke@libranet.de
"Microblogging lets people share short status messages with their social network. Public Web sites like Twitter, Jaiku and Plurk are wildly popular with consumers, but Open Source programs allow a distributed social graph and implementation inside the enterprise firewall. Evan Prodromou, founder of Identi.ca, will describe the Open Source microblogging tool Laconica and its uses in the workplace and on the Public Web."

Hey Mastodon,
ich möchte euch alle einmal mitnehmen und uns gemeinsam eine kleine Challenge geben:
Ihr kennt bestimmt alle die wichtige Kampagne @AfDVerbotJetzt, oder? Wie ihr seht, ist der Mastodon Account der Kampagne derzeit von allen ihren Plattformen der größte (aktuell ca. 2.600 Follower).
Aber Instagram holt auf (aktuell 1.900 Follower).
Lasst uns doch mal schauen, wie lange wir es schaffen, dass der Mastodon Account der größte bleibt?

J'ai des demandes d'abonnement en suspens régulièrement. Je traite ça par vagues quand j'ai l'énergie. Des fois, ça met du temps…
Ce qui s'ajoute au relou de gérer ça, c'est les problèmes d'accessibilité que ça me pose parce que la plupart des instances (oui, je dois généralement regarder votre profil sur votre instance sinon ça m'affiche pas toujours des choses à jour) ne sont pas accessibles pour moi : contrastes trop faibles, mode sombre forcé par défaut au lieu de prendre en compte mes préférences…
Bref, Fediverse (ouais c'est pas que Mastodon), tu ferais bien de te mettre à l'accessibilité (si tu me dis que j'ai qu'à contribuer, je te bloque !).

Was ist eigentlich das Fediverse?
#MatteosMiniWebPage (Thread 3/8)
Das Fediverse (vgl. aktuelle Statistik FediDB) ist ein quelloffenes, datenschutzfreundliches, dezentrales, soziales Netzwerk, in dem die Konten (Accounts) der Nutzer von föderierten Instanzen (Servern) diverser, - soweit vertrauenswürdig: nicht kommerzieller - Fediverse-Dienste (Socialmedia-Plattformen) z.B. für Micro-/Macro-Blogging, Websites, Blogs, File-Hosting oder News-Sharing miteinander ggf. pseudonym über verschiedene offene Kommunikationsprotolle z.B. ActivityPub - soweit vertrauenswürdig: ohne Tracking - miteinander interagieren können.
Die geposteten Kommunikations-Beiträge werden mithilfe der Fediverse-Dienste z.B. Mastodon (vgl. Software Ranking FediDB) in öffentlichen und persönlichen Timelines (Streams) abgebildet und können so gelesen, archiviert, weitergeleitet (netzweit boosten) oder wiederum öffentlich oder geschützt kommentiert werden. In der selbstbestimmten Gestaltung der persönlichen Timeline - ohne Hintergrund-Algorithmen - ist jeder User frei, in dem er Follower und ggf. Hashtags nach Belieben abonniert oder später ev. wieder entfolgt. Der strukturierten Organisation der persönlichen Timeline in Listen (selbst gestaltete Sub-Timelines) kommt mit wachsender Anzahl abonnierter Follower eine zunehmende Bedeutung zu, wenn man beim Lesen oder Auswerten, die Übersicht behalten möchte. Eine hierarchische und möglichst vollständige Thread-Darstellung ist ein wünschenswertes Ausstattungsmerkmal, um vermeidbare Missverständisse, insbesondere in komplexen, plattformübergreifenden Diskussions-Abläufen, tunlichst auszuschließen.
Wenn man seine eigene Instanz - z.B. in Ermangelung eines entsprechenden Fachwissens - nicht selbst hosten und betreiben möchte, dann muss man - um loslegen zu können - sich eine öffentlich zugängliche Instanz frei wählen, was am Anfang eine gewisse Hürde für einen Neueinsteiger darstellen kann. Jede Instanz kann sich auf bestimmte Themen oder Interessen spezialisieren, wie Kunst, Wissenschaft, Politik, Religion oder spezielle Hobbys. Das ermöglicht es Nutzern, einer öffentlichen Instanz beizutreten, die ihren Interessen entspricht und Gleichgesinnte zu finden, mit denen sie sich austauschen können (vgl. z.B. Mastodon Server FediDB). Daten, Listen und Follower können beim Verlassen und Wechseln zu einer anderen Instanz und/oder Plattform innerhalb dieses Fediverse-Ökosystems vom User mitgenommen werden.
Denkbare Usecases für das selber Hosten einer eigenen Instanz wären z.B.: Vereinsarbeit, Bürgerinitiative, Projektarbeit, Familien- und Freundeskreis, Idealismus, um die Idee des Fediverse "ehrenamtlich für jederman" mit offen zugänglichen Fediverse-Instanzen voranzubringen oder Einpersonen-Nutzung, um die eigenen Kommunikations- und Föderations-Regeln selbst zu bestimmen und keinem fremden Administrator vertrauen zu müssen usw.
Für die absehbare Zukunft scheint das Fediverse, Potenzial für weiteres Wachstum zu haben, insbesondere für User, die auf technische Interoperabilität mit Kommunikatiosmöglichkeiten zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen über Filterblasen hinweg Wert legen, denen Datenschutz und werbefreie Socialmedia-Umgebungen wichtig sind. Die Zukunft hängt jedoch stark von der weiteren technischen Entwicklung, zivilisierter, demokratischer Nutzerakzeptanz und der Fähigkeit ab, gemeinnützige, möglichst werbefreie Finanzierungsmodelle zu etablieren, z.B. durch Spenden und auch durch vermehrte öffentliche Förderung, insbesondere aus der EU zur Bildung von Medienkompetenz, kritischem Denken und der Stärkung demokratischen Bewusstseins. Die ausgewogene Balance zwischen Meinungsfreiheit und Schutz vor Missbrauch, Bekämpfung von Hassrede und Desinformation, funktionsfähige Mechanismen zur Selbstregulierung des Netzwerks sowie das Risiko einer Verwässerung der werbefreien und datenschutzfreundlichen Prinzipien oder gar eine feindliche technischen Übernahme durch große kommerzielle Tech-Konzerne, bleiben bisher ungelöste Herausforderungen, die uns alle betreffen und uns interessieren sollten.
Insgesamt könnte eine reflektierte Praxis im Fediverse die Weiterentwicklung eines nachhaltigen, inklusiven, entschleunigten und demokratischen Netzwerks födern, das den Bedürfnissen der Nutzer entspricht - Klasse statt Masse - und gleichzeitig innovative technische Lösungen - weitgehend auf freier Open-Source-Software basierend - vorantreibt. Es liegt an uns, das Fediverse konstruktiv zu unterstützen und partizipativ mitzugestalten.

#MatteosMiniWebPage (Thread 1/8)
Diese ausbaufähige Mini-Web-Page (einfaches Posting) ist eigentlich so etwas wie meine kostenlose Homepage auf Mastodon, sogar mit einer simplen Blog-Funktion. Beitrag öffnen (einfacher Klick), zeigt und navigiert den Mini-Blog (Thread-Darstellungen mit einfachen Antworten). Es wird hier niemand von mir getracked.
Ein weiterer Vorteil gegenüber anderen Homepages oder Blogs ist, dass jeder Beitrag dieser Threads als Link meines Profils, als angepinnter Post oder als Hashtag über jede andere Social-Media-Plattform des Fediverse, die ActivityPub unterstützt, gefunden, direkt kommentiert und gerne auch von mehreren Lesern kontrovers diskutiert werden kann. Klar doch, bleiben wir immer nett zu einander 😀
Diese Seite ist unabhängig davon im Internet aufrufbar und kann in jedem Web-Browser mit folgendem externem Internet-Link zu dieser Mini-Web-Page gebookmarkt werden. Dieser rein lesende Zugriff setzt nicht einmal voraus, dass der Internet-User überhaupt im Fediverse z.B. mit Mastodon unterwegs ist:

Moderation is a denial of service problem.
When you're a minority, or you're being hounded by a group of people, a single share by a bad actor creates an overwhelming amount of DMs and replies.
The tools we have today are aimed at blocking single messages, but when you receive a thousand messages it's a denial of service.
Fedi abuse is real, because abuse on all websites is real.
In my mind, the moderation we need includes the ability to attribute where a reply came from, to say all those replies and DMs were via those few shares, and to block every subsequent thing. Replies are a graph/tree and you want to block everything that belongs to a node/branch.
It still wouldn't be perfect, but it would be better than what we have... It would make moderation effort by the victim become sublinear to the amount of abuse they receive.
The issue I see though, the current protocols don't share this type of attribution, and the federated nature means some tools might purposefully not participate in it.
Moderation is a denial of service problem.

Hoping these ideas can be shared further and duplicated to support more non profit ecosystems. Seeing the potential growing here online and in real life to help connect more people with more resources!
@mountainmindset@mountains.social
What is the Mountain Mindset? For me its the idea of recognizing as we charge into this future online, we can still develop our own culture. As I have traveled, my observations between city culture & mountain culture was fairly consistent around the world. Mountain culture required living more in tune with nature, more aware of the seasons & surroundings. Community more shaped around connection and sharing. Looking in practice like how the Hawaiian’s live Pono, a lifestyle inspired by values to do the right thing; living in harmony with the land & people. In this present moment of globalization, we can collect ideas that will be needed for the future. Culture will outlive us. We can individually, in our own unique way, create this concept of culture here on Mastodon. Thank you for being here!

In my quest to learn more sustainable regenerative ways to support free open source software and the fediverse together I found an example worth sharing. For the past 15 years, Bigstock Fundraiser has been on a mission of raising funds through philanthropic events, for local charitable and benevolent causes. A team of volunteers has created a festively fun experience to enjoy two days of music in the mountains as a fundraiser!
Hosted at Hoodoo Ski Area in Central Oregon. The fundraising benefits two local non profits; Oregon Adaptive Sports & Cascadia Wildlands. This success can be replicated around the world. Truly a fun way to help other people supporting great causes! It also creates a thriving ecosystem of jobs for the vendors & support staff. Small groups of people can do big things together. Band shown is Greensky Bluegrass.

Was there any talk or discussion at the #FediForum about the banning of #X in #Brazil, and the massive migration of Brazilians to #BlueSky?
I've heard more than once today the question why Brazilians went to Bluesky. I've heard some ideas like Bluesky resembles Orkut, an old social network platform of Google that was very poorly in Brazil 20 years ago. I think that's false.
I don't have a clear answer to this phenomenon, but it would be very interesting to listen to what other people think.

#Fediforum has a Saturday schedule, and it's starting in less than two hours. You can still register to attend, with some (almost) free tickets available at $1.99 if the regular rate is too high - a bargain for attending a single day of the event.
My favorite part is the demos - you get to see the people behind the sites and apps you use (or will be using), demoing their latest fediverse related projects!

We just shipped partial Account Migration support!
This means:
- You can migrate from other servers to Pixelfed
- Accounts that migrate between servers will be updated (even if you mute/block them)
We say partial, because we are missing one final piece to support outbound migration to Pixelfed, Mastodon or other platforms.
That final piece will be shipping later today!

Btw Mastodon is the best because folks actually use and follow hashtags. The posts attract people who are enthusiastic in things. In other places the hashtags feel pointless, nobody ever looks at them. They are just fuel for algorithms.
@BjornW@mastodon.social
Most #bigtech social media platforms allow personalisation: like a profile picture or a header image for example.
What if we'd use these to advertise the #fediverse? Help those unaware of the existence of the fediverse to explore it & experience the Internet as intended.
Use those in-active Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram etc accounts for some good!
What do you think? Could we organize something like this?

We've seen hints of how the #Fediverse can have a positive impact on newsrooms, but this is the most tangible proof I've personally seen so far.

@mho@social.heise.de
Now with more and more #instances upgraded to version 4.2.0 of #Mastodon, you can compare full text #search on different ones: Having multiple accounts, I did – and yes, the differences are rather big.
Once again it seems clear, the bigger your instance the better for finding content in the #fediverse. Especially for journalists, this also implies, that an instance by your organization might not be the best idea. Something like journa.host could make more sense.

英語圏の :fediverse: #Fediverse の投稿を眺めていると、ちょくちょく「日本語勉強中」とかプロフィールに書いているアカウントを偶然見つけることがある。
自分自身も英語を読むのがなんとなくここにいるモチベーションにもなっていて、言語交換というほど積極的にそういう方々と交流している訳では無いにしても、そういう出会いは日本語話者としても英語勉強中の身としてもうれしい。
:mastodon: #Mastodon の特性上、そういうアカウントが特別自分のタイムライン上でレコメンドされているわけもなく、本当に偶然の出会いだと思うとなんかそれもうれしいなと思うし、同時になにか他の要因があるのかなと考えたりもする。
もともと #Twitter 好きという日本人の国民性みたいなのが影響して #Fediverse #Mastodon には比較的日本人・日本語話者が多いという状況とかがあるんだろうか？

(a) I kind of like the theme of my current instance.
(b) Moving to another Mastodon instance would not solve the hard 500 character limit of @bufferapp , which I use for scheduling.
I've looked at other #Fediverse projects, but I haven't found a good solution for the scheduling problem.

@dangillmor: "Shaming people into moving over (to the Fediverse) doesn’t work".
Well said. And I've said this myself in the past, folks who want to get people to join the fediverse have to actively work towards making it a safe and inviting space, for everyone.

A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.
In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:
Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.
GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.
Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.
Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.
Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.
In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!

If you are a fan of Sharkey, may I suggest Misskey. They're the upstream provider of Sharkey. You may be missing a few minor tweaks, but it comes with less drama, and more honesty.

Imagine what if every website implemented HTTP/TLS themselves. There would be so much fragmentation that we wouldn't see the #interoperability we see today.
To me, that's what the #fediverse looks like today. Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. have their own implementations of #ActivityPub, WebFinger, HTTP Signatures, etc. and each one behaves slightly differently, which leads to poor interoperability. Adoption of new standards is slow.
I wish each major programming language had something like #Fedify.

Patchwork will help server admins keep their community safe by keeping it real.
With a string of unique and customisable filters, sign-up challenges, and federation settings there are more ways to ensure that the posts washing up on your servers shores don't break the rules.

GoToSocial, an ActivityPub platform, is adding better support for audio. Mastodon has had that for years, you say? GoToSocial will support up to 6 audio attachments!
Mastodon unfortunately will only show one of them - a cassingle. Similar to how it only shows the first 4 images attached to a post.
I do give credit to Mastodon Web UI for having a really nice audio player for that one attachment, tho.

Unless I tell you an unfollow (or even a block) is personal, it isn't personal.
I wish I had 1:1 mutual follows, but I'm balancing feed length with content that satiates (but doesn't flood) my #ADHD dopamine production circuits. On the #BirdSite, I have a finely honed beep boop machine. Over here I'm sitting in a pile of #Lego.

hello @liaizon So I've found your awesome #fediverse icons. Now I do have a question, I hope you don't mind. I would like to import them into custom icons for a font awesome kit. But when doing so it throws an error about "strokes" I'm gessing i have to flatten??? the object, will that make them importable?
@newsmast@newsmast.social
Community is at our heart, that's why we built 62 topical Communities in the Newsmast app, before sharing them across the Fediverse with Community Feeds.
Now we're going even further, alongside Patchwork, we're introducing channel. org. An exciting new way for organisations, publishers, and more to get started on the Fediverse and wider Social Web.
Server admins can benefit too 👀

If you want a symbol that can (possibly) be used in a domain name, this is a good starting point. Many of these will still not render in address bars however, especially those that are Latin look-alikes, so a lot of trial and error is required.

Strategies for the free fediverses
https://privacy.thenexus.today/strategies-for-the-free-fediverses/
EDIT (March 19): I updated the definition of "Meta's fediverses", and added to the list of strategies
The fediverse is evolving into different regions
""Meta's fediverses", including Threads, instances using services from Meta such as automated moderation or ad targeting, and instances harvesting data on Meta's behalf
"free fediverses" that reject Meta – and surveillance capitalism more generally
as well as many instances that don't fall into either of these categories.
The free fediverses have a lot of advantages over Meta and Meta's fediverses, some of which will be very hard to counter, and clearly have enough critical mass that they'll be just fine.
Here's a set of strategies for the free fediverses to provide a viable alternative to surveillance capitalism. They build on the strengths of today's fediverse at its best – including natural advantages the free fediverses have that Threads and Meta's fediverses will having a very hard time countering – but also are hopefully candid about weaknesses that need to be addressed. It's a long list, so I'll be spreading out over multiple posts; this post currently goes into detail on the first two.
Opposition to Meta and surveillance capitalism is an appealing position. Highlight it!
Focus on consent (including consent-based federation), privacy, and safety
Emphasize "networked communities"
Support concentric federations of instances and communities
Make it easier to move between (and create) instances
Work together with people and instances in Meta's fediverses and on Bluesky whose goals and values align with the free fediverses
Consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta
Reduce the dependency on Mastodon
Start moving beyond ActivityPub
Build a sustainable ecosystem
Prepare for Meta's (and their allies') attempts to paint the free fediverses in a bad light
Prioritize accessibility, which is a huge opportunity
Commit to anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and pro-LGBTQIA2S+ principles, policies, practices, and norms for the free fediverses
Organize!
Consider "transitively defederating" Meta's fediverses (as well as defederating Threads)
Consider working with people and instances in Meta's fediverses (and Bluesky, Dreamwidth, and other social networks) whose goals and values align with the free fediverses'
Build a sustainable ecosystem

Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default – and instance blocking is a blunt but powerful safety tool
Part 1 of "Golden opportunities for the fediverse – and whatever comes next"
https://privacy.thenexus.today/unsafe-by-design-and-unsafe-by-default/
Over the course of this multi-part series, I'll discuss Mastodon and the fediverse's long-standing problems with abuse and harassment; the strengths and weaknesses of current tools like instance blocking and blocklists; the approaches emerging tools like #TheBadSpace and #Fediseer take, along with potential problems; paths to improving the situation; and how the fediverse as a whole can seize the moment and build on the progress that's being made; . At the end I'll collect it all into a single post, with a revised introduction.
This first installment has three sections:
- Today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default
- Instance-level federation choices are a blunt but powerful safety tool
- Instance-level federation decisions reflect norms, policies, and interpretations

Happy Pride! From last year, here's "A (partial) queer, trans, and non-binary history of Mastodon and the fediverse" on
@news
As @cwebber says “Queer people built the Fediverse.”
But also ...
"Despite all the major contributions they’ve made, queer, trans, and non-binary people of all colors have also been marginalized in Mastodon. The stories of their contributions are rarely told and when they are it’s rarely from a queer perspective, leading to the erasure I talked about above. And Mastodon and the fediverse have gotten big enough that there’s more and more money and other opportunities floating around. how much is going to queer, trans, and non-binary people? This is something that really needs to change going forward. "

Flickr, Instagram, 500px, Unsplash and BeReal are ok photo sharing platforms
But, they are walled gardens, aren't open source and don't federate
@pixelfed is in the perfect place, at the right time, to be able to disrupt this status quo
We don't have investors, all we have is people, and together we can fix this
The fediverse is a revolution, empowering the people, and reclaiming the digital landscape from the walled gardens
No more settling, it's our time now ✨

Das schöne am #Fediverse ist, dass Instanzenwechsel (gut) möglich sind. Ich bin von digitalcourage.social zu tech.lgbt migriert. Der Grund liegt darin, dass sich ein Großteil der #Digitalcourage Ortsgruppe #Kiel - inklusive mir - nicht mehr unter dem Namen Digitalcourage treffen möchte.

Schmunzel weiter - aber lass mich einfach in Ruhe.
Werdet glücklich in eurer Blase. Bestärkt euch selber, was für tolle Typen ihr seid und wie blöd die Welt um euch herum ist. Aber überlegt euch gut was ihr da anrichtet, wenn ihr wieder Rudelweise über arglose #Mastodon User herfallt, die ja vielleicht ganz andere Interessen und Probleme haben, als euren Dogmatismus o.ä.
Zum Glück dürfen wir im #Fediverse ja noch frei die Meinung äußern und dafür Danke ich ausdrücklich und aus tiefsten Herzen allen Mastodon Entwicklern, Admins und Usern.
Das magst du jetzt für deine #Friendica Blase verwenden, damit ihr alle was zu lachen habt :-)
@matteo@mastodon.bayern
Respektiere bitte die Meinungen und die Erfahrungen anderer #Mastodon User und führt euch hier nicht auf wie die besseren #Herrenmenschen im #Fediverse.
Bevor ich dir demnächst auch noch meine Dankbarkeitspostings an meine Admins vorlegen muss, um mich vor deinen frechen Unterstellungen zu schützen, sollten wir uns einfach in der Zukunft aus dem Wege gehen!

@GrahamDowns Yeah or re-post. I've done it multiple times, but for some reason people are not very into enabling it. Opt-in is a very limiting thing and seems to not work in practice. What's the point if only 0.1% enables sharing?

As most announcements cover demonstrations and events in German, I'm changing the post language. Most #fediverse apps have a translation feature, I'll try to post in such a way that the transition works well.

I gotta say, #BlueSky’s alternate timelines/algorithms feature is pretty cool. I can choose which algorithms to use and usually see how they work. I remember discussion of this concept for #Mastodon/the #Fediverse back in the day. Is it ever coming? There’s still too much friction when trying to find fresh accounts to follow.
@matteo@mastodon.bayern
Jetzt ist es also raus: #Firefish ist nun doch sehr wahrscheinlich am Ende. Damit sieht man nun wieder wie unsicher und mit welchen Unzulänglichkeiten das #Fediverse zu kämpfen hat.
Tja, nun bin ich froh mit meiner zurückliegende Entscheidung pro #Mastodon als Glitch-Variante (5000 Zeichen-Limit) und #Phanpy als graphischer Oberfläche. Dieses Chaos ist mir nun erspart geblieben.
Insgesamt haben die neuen #Misskey Forks m.E. die in sie gesetzen Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Die Entwicklungen laufen nicht so wie erhofft. Ich werde deshalb jetzt nicht nur die Beobachtung von Firefish einstellen, sondern auch die von #Iceshrimp, #Catodon und #Sharkey.
@matteo@mastodon.bayern · Reply to Matteo (Writer)'s post
Was ist eigentlich das Fediverse?
#Fediverse (Sub-Thread 2/4)
Das Fediverse ist ein quelloffenes, datenschutzfreundliches, dezentrales, soziales Netzwerk, in dem die Konten (Accounts) der Nutzer von föderierten Instanzen (Servern) diverser, - soweit vertrauenswürdig: nicht kommerzieller - Fediverse-Dienste (Socialmedia-Plattformen) z.B. für Micro-/Macro-Blogging, Websites, Blogs, File-Hosting oder News-Sharing miteinander ggf. pseudonym über verschiedene offene Kommunikationsprotolle z.B. ActivityPub - soweit vertrauenswürdig: ohne Tracking - miteinander interagieren können. Kommunikationsinhalte und Daten, Listen und Follower können bei einem Verlassen und Wechseln zu einer anderen Instanz und/oder Plattform innerhalb dieses Fediverse-Ökosystems mitgenommen werden.
Die geposteten Kommunikations-Beiträge werden mithilfe der Fediverse-Dienste (z.B. Mastodon) in globalen, föderierten und persönlichen Timelines (Streams) abgebildet und können so gelesen, archiviert, weitergeleitet (netzweit boosten) oder wiederum öffentlich oder geschützt kommentiert werden. In der selbstbestimmten Gestaltung der persönlichen Timeline - ohne Hintergrund-Algorithmen - ist jeder User frei, in dem er Follower und ggf. Hashtags nach Belieben abonniert oder später ev. wieder entfolgt. Der strukturierten Organisation der persönlichen Timeline in Listen (selbst gestaltete Sub-Timelines) kommt mit wachsender Anzahl abonnierter Follower eine zunehmende Bedeutung zu, wenn man beim Lesen oder Auswerten, die Übersicht behalten möchte. Eine hierarchische und möglichst vollständige Thread-Darstellung ist ein wünschenswertes Ausstattungsmerkmal, um vermeidbare Missverständisse, insbesondere in komplexen, plattformübergreifenden Diskussions-Abläufen, tunlichst auszuschließen.
Wenn man seine eigene Instanz - z.B. in Ermangelung eines entsprechenden Fachwissens - nicht selbst hosten und betreiben möchte, dann muss man - um loslegen zu können - sich eine öffentlich zugängliche Instanz frei wählen, was am Anfang eine gewisse Hürde für einen Neueinsteiger darstellen kann. Denkbare Usecases für das selber Hosten einer eigenen Instanz wären z.B.: Vereinsarbeit, Bürgerinitiative, Projektarbeit, Familien- und Freundeskreis, Idealismus, um die Idee des Fediverse "ehrenamtlich für jederman" mit offen zugänglichen Fediverse-Instanzen voranzubringen oder Einpersonen-Nutzung, um die eigenen Kommunikations- und Föderations-Regeln selbst zu bestimmen und keinem fremden Administrator vertrauen zu müssen usw.

Matteos Mini Homepage (Top-Thread)
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Linux #VollaOS
Diese ausbaufähige Mini Web-Page (einfaches Posting) ist eigentlich so etwas wie meine kostenlose Homepage auf Mastodon, sogar mit einer simplen Blog-Funktion. Beitrag öffnen (Klick), zeigt den Mini Blog (Thread-Darstellung mit einfachen Antworten). Es wird hier niemand von mir getracked.
Ein weiterer Vorteil gegenüber anderen Homepages oder Blogs ist, dass jeder Beitrag dieses Threads über jede andere Social Media Plattform des Fediverse, die ActivityPub unterstützt, direkt kommentiert und gerne auch von mehreren Lesern kontrovers diskutiert werden kann. Klar doch, bleiben wir immer nett zu einander 😀
Diese Seite ist unabhängig davon im Internet aufrufbar und kann für sich in jedem Web-Browser gebookmarked werden: Externer Internet Link zu dieser Mini Homepage

Hallo, ich bin kein smarter Geschäftsmann, der ein Interesse daran hätte, seine Mitmenschen übervorteilen zu wollen. Auch aus diesem Grunde habe ich um Twitter, X, Facebook und WhatsApp immer einen großen Bogen gemacht. Ich bin ebenfalls kein professioneller Informatiker, der etwas vom Programmieren versteht oder ein IT-Administrator, der über Fähigkeiten verfügt, einen Server zu verwalten. Ich bin einfach nur ein normaler Ruheständler, technisch interesseriert, der jetzt private Zeit übrig hat, Dinge zu tun, die Spaß machen, freilich mit den üblichen gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen, die das Alter jetzt so allmählich mit sich bringt.
Mit dem Fediverse bin ich erstmalig über #Lemmy in Berührung gekommen. Dann habe ich #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Akkoma, #Firefish, #Iceshrimp und #Catodon ausprobiert. Jetzt bin ich wieder bei Mastodon gelandet, weil man Manches eben nur mit Mastodon machen kann und es fehlerfrei, ohne Bugs, stets zuverlässig funktioniert. Die Mastodon Glitch Edition hier auf mastodon.bayern mit seinem 5000-Zeichen-Limit für Postings gefällt mir sehr gut.
Täglich dringen Großkonzerne, staatliche und private Akteure, ungefragt und von den meisten unbemerkt, in die digitale Privatsphäre ein, durchleuchten und bewerten uns anhand der von uns produzierten Daten. Dass sich noch immer kein Widerstand in der Bevölkerung gegen die Vermessung unserer Person regt, ist auf eine ganz besondere Eigenschaft von Daten zurückzuführen: Man kann sie weder fühlen noch schmecken oder riechen. Nach meiner Auffassung kann informationelle Selbstbestimmung aber nur dann gelingen, wenn wir das Wissen darüber haben, wer, wie, wann und wo unsere Daten im Hintergrund abgreift, speichert und verarbeitet.
Für die gemeinnützige Gestaltung einer digitalisierten Welt braucht es digital souveräne Menschen, die über ein Verständnis von digitaler Kultur und Technik verfügen, die die selbstbestimmte Nutzung von Daten voranbringen, die Privatheit und IT-Sicherheit als schützenswerte Güter achten. Genau deshalb interessiert mich das Fediverse so sehr.
Folge mir einfach @matteo. Oder wenn nicht, dann schreibe mir eventuell nur mit einer Erwähnung, zum Beispiel über mastodonshare. Wenn sonst niemand mitlesen soll, gerne auch als private Direkt-Nachricht.

Bridgy Fed (https://fed.brid.gy) has temporarily slowed down (https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1295) in the direction from Bluesky to Fediverse because of all the new Brazilian accounts on Bluesky. Apparently a lot of the new Bluesky users have opted in to sharing with the Fediverse – another good sign for the open social web. #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Bluesky

@Jerry@hear-me.social
I opened a #Friendica server (https://my-place.social) because I became inspired to try it out based on this blog post by Elena Rossini: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica
If you have any interest in checking out Freindica, read her blog post first.
My early experiences with Friendica are similar to hers and were the reasons that my interest, at the time a couple of years back, didn't last more than a few hours.
I've been using Friendica for over a week now, and I do very much prefer it to Mastodon, after having gotten used to it.
Friendica is like 2 applications in one. Yes, it is a Facebook replacement. I don't use that part. I can't tell you much about it.
The other application is like Mastodon with extras. If you're interested, read more about this further down.
What I really like about Friendica:
Groups! This is really fantastic. There is, for example, a group for Friendica Support, Friendica Admins, and Friendica Developers. I had questions and problems getting the server going. I posted questions in the Friendica support group and I got help directly from the Developers.
You can't get this on Mastodon. Sure, you can use hashtags, but they will only be seen by people who happen to log in at the right time for them to appear on their timeline, or if they happen to search for the hashtag. With groups, the conversations are all there waiting for you when you enter the group.
Interestingly, there are a couple of Mastodon groups. They aren't very active, but that they exist shows that they would be helpful if Mastodon had it.
Circles. These are very similar to Lists in Mastodon where you can create circles of people.
#Phanpy works with Friendica! This is a big plus. I love that I can use the Phanpy catch up feature with my Friendica feed. Catch up is a wonderful Phanpy feature, BTW.
But, there are a few rough edges with its integration with Friendica. While threaded posts work perfectly for Mastodon, they don't always display well when using Phanpy with Friendica.
RSS feeds are built in. You can follow RSS feeds like you follow other accounts. On Mastodon, I use the RSS-parrot bot to do it. But RSS feed posts look much nicer in Friendica since they are part of it.
Bluesky integration is built in. Your Bluesky timeline is right inside your Friendica timeline. This feature I can't test because there's a bug when using a Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server). However, it will be fixed in the next release of the add-on. I was able to reach the developer in the Friendica Support group.
Can automatically post to WordPress.
Tumblr integration is built in. You can see your Tumblr feed in your Friendica timeline. I'm not much of a Tumblr user so haven't used this much.
Diaspora integration is also built in, but I've not used it.
I can see a post preview before sending a post, so I can see exactly what it will look like. I like this very much!
What I really don't like about Friendica:
The UI takes getting used to.
You can filter messages by selecting a number of different criteria to hone what you want to see. But so many choices makes it all confusing and a little overwhelming.
No translation option. But when using Phanpy, translation is available via Phanpy.
No way for Admins to make announcements like in Mastodon. I miss this.
Can't limit servers, can only block them entirely. I like being able to just limit some servers and I wish I could do this as well in Friendica.
Can't make a post reply private. In Mastodon, I can reply to a post privately. I don't see the option in the Friendica UI. However, if I reply via Phanpy, I can do it.
It works with Tusky, but I need to keep logging in. I need to try other apps.
I can't set a notification to tell me when someone posts.
By default, new accounts are locked. When you open a new account, you have to approve followers. In Mastodon, it's the opposite. I like the Mastodon default better.
Fewer moderation tools. Mastodon has better moderation tools.
Fewer tools to see what is happening with the server. However, it is does support Zabbix which provides a lot of server information if you're willing to set up a Zabbix dashboard, which is on my to-do list.
Anyway, this is all I can think of for now.
Curious? Try Friendica at https://my-place.social

@joaopinheiro not from the instance, (and not calling myself an anarchist) but would love to talk about anarchy.
What do you want to talk about in anarchy?
Easy topic suggestion: what is the link between anarchy and the fediverse?
The fediverse, as a network of small self-organized communities strikes me as a very anarchist practice, but I would love to hear from people knowing better.

Two million Brazilians joined Bluesky over the weekend. Here’s why that’s good news for the #Fediverse.
By moving on from the clone wars, embracing multiple protocols and injecting a big dose of politics, we can expand Fediverse 2.0 and start to build Fediverse 3.0 and the open web: the “paradise to which we may all yet escape.”
@newsmast@newsmast.social
With #FediForum coming up next week, we thought we'd give you a little more info on our new service for server admins - Patchwork.
Patchwork servers won't just benefit the admins who run them, but also the people who use them. For example, admins can choose to add complex post types to their server, including:
- Long Posts
- Post Scheduling
- Rich text
- Local Only Posts
We're happy to chat to server admins about what Patchwork can do!
@newsmast@newsmast.social
"For Fediverse 2.0 to be a meaningful hub, pulling different platforms and protocols together, we can’t just be providing plumbing for Meta and Google. Going beyond a debate about people vs protocols, we need to add in a third “p” that’s definitely not plumbing: politics."
Going beyond recent migration and into the future, take a look at what @michael thinks the next steps are: https://www.blog-pat.ch/brazil-bluesky-fediverse/

For the last several months I've been working on making a federated app.
I just finished migrating it to use the latest iteration of our new #leafprotocol data format on top of the #willowprotocol and so far it's going really well.
In this post I share some of the concepts and rational behind the Leaf Protocol:

How many domain names your government needs to block in order to censor an entire network?
Bluesky: 1 domain name
Nostr: 680 domain names, but blocking 10 most popular relays and hosted clients would probably be enough to kill it
Fediverse: more than 20000 domain names

Revised version of **Creating a city for all of us: a role for the Fediverse in archiving civic urban memory**. Accepted to Digital Society journal, so should be published fairly soon I hope.
I discuss the Fediverse as a solution to civically owned urban memory archives. I use Mastodon as an example to highlight a few key tech challenges as well as to illustrate moderation approaches.

I wrote a post about us, the Internet people. All of our hacky piratey DIY fixing and code snippet *borrowing*. I'm an ex muso and I think a lot of us from that early gen x generation did the tech pivot from the mid 90s on so we all built the Internet, it's ours. The Fediverse is so much a part of that alt culture, and so much a part of where at least some of the Internet future is headed.

I love not having analytics here. I mean no idea who will see this post, who has boosted the already boosted post and how far it will reach. It's like a digital message in a bottle, once it's sent, it will be received by people, some pass it on, or not... This is how the Internet should be.
In other places I sometimes get a notification like "your reply got 1000 views, congrats!" and I don't know what I'm supposed to think about that any more.

Just uploading another public domain film to my PeerTube instance, it really is an amazing bit of software!
It lets you make your own little YouTube and join it up with other people's little YouTubes so you can watch each other's uploads, but there are no adverts and no Google or any other corporations.
Seriously, if you're at all interested in making your own instance, highly recommend you give it a go. Non-techies can use @fedihost, moderate techies can install through @yunohost, hardcore techies can install it manually.

So this is another instalment of #fediverse support, and it's a big one.🎆🎇🎆🎇🧨
We are expanding our platform to have full feature support for #Mastodon, you can now publish, analyze and discover all in one place.
This launch also includes analytics support for Instagram and Facebook, but obviously we can do a lot more with the Mastodon API than we can with the rest.

It's probably time for another #introduction! I've been on #Mastodon for many years, but switched to this server last year and love Todon and everything they do. I'm keen to utilise the #Fediverse to develop a radical media network inspired by the French #ReseauMutu model and have had useful conversations with the activists behind that. Recently I've been helping to launch #Sheffield Mask Bloc. What my bio on here doesn't cover, my website surely will if you want to know more: https://www.mediaactivist.com/about/

Benvindos ao #Mastodon #Fediverse, #Brasileiros. 🇧🇷
Parabéns, você chegou ao um lugar MUITO MELHOR.
Dicas:
- Complete seu perfil. Ajuda a encontrar contatos, e ter pedidos de follow aceitos.
- MASTODON NÃO É TWITTER/X, nem tão pouco os usuários querem que seja similar. É muito melhor aqui. Esperar similaridade com #Xitter é guarantir uma experiência ruim.
- AQUI NÃO EXISTE ALGORITMO. Você só verá posts de quem seguir e os que eles fizerem um "boost". Siga profusamente; quanto mais gente você seguir, mais posts você verá.
- "Boosts" e "Likes" NÃO funcionam como em twitter. "Like" não dissemina posts, meramente diz ao usuário que você gostou do post. "Boosts" disseminam posts.
- Mensagens diretas (Direct messages, "DM") NÃO SÃO PRIVADAS.
- Aqui NÃO existem ads, comerciais, ou posts empurrados por algoritmo. Nenhuma corporação é dona, nenhum bilionário controla o que você vê, ou diz.
- Mastodon é parte de Fediverse, mas não é a única plataforma. Recomendo @Pixelfed / @loops como alternative a Instagram.
- Utilizem hashtags, quanto puder. Sempre use iniciais em maiúscula, nos hastags. Facilita em MUITO achar posts. #MaisFácilAssim
- Ajude sua instância. Use imagens e files menores (em byte size), quando possível. Isso reduz custos de hosting/storage Os adminsitradores provavelmente paga do bolso deles, para manter a instância. Curtindo a instância, considere doar um troco. Ajuda, horrores.
- Caso você NÃO esteja satisfeito com a instância que você usa, faça download da sua informação, e mude para outra instância. Eu não particularmente recomendo as maiores instâncias de Mastodon. Procure nichos e instâncias que interessem a você, com temas focados em assuntos preferidos seus.
- SIM, você pode ter mais contas em outras instâncias, ao mesmo tempo.
- Seja polido; as instâncias menores são controladas por comunidades menores, e MUITA atenção é prestada a comportamento de usuários. Divirta-se, respeite os outros usuários.
- SIGA AS REGRAS DE SUA INSTÂNCIA.
- Não, #Threads e #BlueSky NÃO SÃO #Fediverse, estão meramente ligados a este. Existe como interagir, mas é muito limitado, e controlado por corporações que são donas de Threads e BlueSky.
Sigam #FediTips ( https://fedi.tips/ )

@paula@social.fairphone.community
Hi,
Another account of @PaulaToThePeople.
This is all about #Fairphone.
The story:
Do you remember back in the days when #Apple installed the suicide nets in "their" factories?
That's when I decided I'll no longer buy any Apple products.
When my iPhone died I looked around for a more sustainable and/or free (as in freedom) option.
So I stumbled upon Fairphone and bought the #FP1 or rather the #FP1u.
Soon afterwards I joined the first Fairphone meeting that took place in Vienna, Austria and we founded the @AustrianFairphoners.
So I joined the Fairphone community on Dec 9, '14 and it was like a family for me for a long time.
In 2018 I was actually introduced to the #Fediverse via the Fairphone forum.
In 2019 I joined #FridaysForFuture and ever since, I'm less active with Fairphone, but I would still never buy another phone and if I get the chance to help setup a Fediverse instance for Fairphone of course I will take it. 🙂
Who else owns a Fairphone here? I'd love to read your Fairphone origin stories. 😉

@subclub is a new way to add a paid subscriber link to your fediverse profile, allowing you to create subscriber only content! You get a really nice "Subscribe" button on the Mammoth and Ice Cubes app.
If you are a fediverse app developer and interested in adding this to your app, reach out to subclub directly and they can get your started!
Here's a walk through of how to get it setup.
@Rycaut@mastodon.social
Social feature idea (including the #Fediverse)
Cache people’s bios when I follow them (name, account name, bio, links)
Make visible to me when viewing their bio which parts have changed since I followed them w/versions also clearly showing when I followed them (and if they follow me - when they followed me)
If I mute or block and the later unblock or the mute expires also show that history from the profile view. Perhaps also make it a simple one click to see any past interactions with them
@quillmatiq@mastodon.social
If you're wondering how to set up and use a @subclub to get premium subscribers in the #Fediverse, it's this easy:

Fediverse pro tip: Re-boost your own content.
There is no algorithm. Posts are equal like they should be. It doesn't matter what you like, how many followers you have or how prominent you are as an "influencer". The time, moment, content, frequency and boosting are the only things that help your visibility here. It's a good thing.
It's funny that sharing function is almost obsolete in other places. Here it still serves a purpose.

re-#introduction time I guess!:
Hi! I'm Pablo, a software engineer from #ElSalvador but now living in The #Netherlands! I'm also the author of https://felte.dev, a "framework agnostic" form management library.
I work mainly as a front-end developer with #ReactJS, but I love keeping track of the new things such as #SolidJS and #WebComponents!
Looking forward to see more people around the #fediverse ❤️

Current situation possibly demands a temporary pinned post from me. I'm planning to update my #introduction although in the meantime I'm busily moving away from Big Tech and moving all of my shit onto the #fediverse. This means the web site may be down temporarily. More soon.

Bonjour ici :) je cherche une appli cliente pour le #fediverse, au moins #mastodon et #lemmy qui aurait une "boite de réception" / #inbox pour tout les postes et qu'on puisse les archiver ou les cacher.
Mon point frustrant c'est qu'avec le fonctionnement actuel je revois plusieurs fois les mêmes postes alors que je les ais deja lu ou que le sujet ne m'intéresse pas.
Des idées ???

We’re very proud to announce that we’ve worked with @tchambers & team to build a new membership-only group on the Fediverse!
@KamalaHarrisWin is a group dedicated to organising and discussing Harris’s 2024 campaign. With better moderation controls the people there can focus on what matters, like protecting democracy, rather than having to fight through trolls and bots.
We hope the members are enjoying it! 🥥🌴

So some bad news regarding our account here on Mastodon and the #Fediverse
I'm going to have to suspend, at least for now, posting any links to content on our website on this platform. The #MastoDdos effect is only getting worse, and it now brings our website down for a solid 5 to 7 minutes everytime I post a URL. We've tried to fix this on our end, without any real luck. Caching, Cloudfare, etc etc. None of it works.
What I'll do instead is post links to our Threads account when new content is posted on our website. A bit of a weird fix, but until the infrastructure in the fediverse evolves to deal with this growing problem, I can't have our website go down that often. It has further unintended side effects (like harming our SEO ranking).
Of course, I'll still be participating here daily on coffee subjects!

⚠️ Wichtig für #NeuHier: Humor, Ironie und Sarkasmus sind im #Fediverse nicht gerne gesehen und müssen gekennzeichnet werden (§ 14 Abs. 2 DatAutBahnG).
In der Regel ist es aber völlig ausreichend, wenn dem Posting jemand mit einer orangen Fahne und einer läutenden Glocke voranläuft und dem Posting unmittelbar eine unlustige Erklärung des Witzes folgt.

#bcki24: Ich überlege, was für eine Session ich halten möchte.
Aktueller Pitch:
"Die Power des #SocialWeb: Mastodon wird oft als Soziales Netzwerk mit X verglichen. M aber basiert auf ActivityPub - einem Protokoll für fast beliebige Dienste.
Stellt Euch vor, Twitter könnte nicht nur mit Insta & YouTube sprechen, sondern auch mit Ebay, Eurem Blog, der Website der Tageszeitung, der Stadtwerke und der Stadtverwaltung."

I just realized for the first time that #fediverse is being translated to #聯邦宇宙 in Chinese. This is in contrast to #聯合宇宙 in Korean.
@wjmaggos@liberal.city
At a personal level, maybe using algo-driven & ad-supported social media seems fine. That's really what most media is. Radio & TV have always done this, deciding what comes next. Most streaming options will auto play something now too. Fine.
The problem is at the collective level. A world where a few corporations have so much control over what everyone pays attention to is not a healthy society. It's bad for democracy. Breaking this cycle is why the #fediverse matters. Here, we decide together.

This is just a gentle reminder: we are testing out an Events system to promote events across the Social Web. This includes the #Fediverse, #Bluesky, and #Nostr.
It’s not quite ready for prime-time yet, but we are looking for everything from game jams to talks to conferences and beyond. If you have anything that you would like to be added, please reach out.
There’s some upstream development in the WordPress ActivityPub space that will make it possible for our events calendar to federate with platforms like Mobilizon and Gancio. It’s not ready yet, but our hope is to make events across the network easier to discover in the short term.

⁂ New symbol version!
It is a crazy coincidence that a new Fediverse symbol proposal was advanced exactly one week after I published the first version of the Anti-Fascist Fediverse sticker with the “old” logo on it! No problem, if not that I just printed a thousand 5x5cm version 1 stickers… 🤯
Despite the terrible timing for the stickers printing, I am very happy about this new symbol proposal, I love it! 😍
Even though I am currently boarding a flight to Tallinn, where I will be moving for 5 months (😱). I quickly created with great pleasure a second version with the asterism symbol! 🚀

I’ll be in New York next month, from September 16-30th.
So first of all I’d be delighted to meet fellow nerds in the #opensource #fediverse #indieweb community if anyone wants to meet up 👋
Secondly, although I’ve booked a place already: If anyone’s got a spare bed or couch for me, kindly reach out! Would gladly cover some of the rent/food for the duration.
Staying in NYC for two weeks is 2x more expensive than the flight there from Norway, lol…

@clacke@libranet.de
I just read infosec.exchange/@jerry/112887… again and it just hit me that "new kid on the block" Mastodon has been around for over 8 years already! The "Mastodon Network" era is now most of Fediverse history!
The Fediverse is 16 years old since May[1] and Mastodon has been up for 8 years since March[2], so 2024 marks the year when Mastodon has been on the Fediverse for the majority of the time the network has been around.
Of course, for the vast majority of fedizens, Mastodon has always been around and their first server was a Mastodon server, and for many, the part of the Fediverse that runs on Mastodon is the #MastodonNetwork , but as of this year we have passed a milestone where that perspective is not entirely objectively wrong by yet another measure.

So I tried making a Fediverse logo! :gutkato_kontenta:
Most people seem to be using the rainbow-coloured pentagram (by Eukombos & al.), which I like well enough myself, but since I read somewhere that it looked a bit busy, I tried making something simpler yet familiar. Instead of different nodes, I put the colours in different spaces/communities formed between the interacting nodes; sorta inspired by the origami boat logo (by DSFGS).
I don’t think the result is particularly striking or much improved, but since I already made it, here it is anyway! Hereby dedicated to the public domain using CC0. I’ve put together a comparison with some pre-existing logos, too; which ones do you like the best? :gutkato_flucerba:

Again, thanks to @alain@jase.social, this release features a ton of improvements to the ActivityPub federation layer of Socialhome, but also upgrading Django to 3.x, which is a major achievement in terms of keeping up to date with dependencies. In regards to upgrading Django we also decided to take a deep dive and ditch uWSGI in favour of Daphne and ASGI. This does mean admins running Socialhome need to change their reverse proxy configuration.
Highlights:
This release also pairs with a v0.24.0 release of the federation library. The changelog for that can be found here.
Socialhome is best described as a federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols (Matrix maybe coming up one day :))!
Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself.

@hq@socialhome.network
Given the recent development activity on #Socialhome and several people requesting the possibility to signup for an account, we've now added the possibility to sign up for an account again at https://socialhome.network, the project official instance.
There is an extra approval phase however due to previously receiving lots of spammer signups. If you want to test Socialhome and want an account, please fill in a few sentences so you don't look like a spammer.
Note however that Socialhome is a very small project with only two developers working on it. There are absolutely no guarantees of anything working (although things probably mostly might), and there is absolutely no user support (but you're welcome to ask questions in the chat room - just don't have expectations). The main reason for opening the signups is for #fediverse interested people to look around and for potential #developers to find an interesting project. Should you be a #Django / #VueJS developer looking for a fediverse project to contribute, please do take a look :)
Socialhome is a platform which federates with #Mastodon and other #ActivityPub platforms, but also the #Diaspora protocol (with some ideas around #Matrix federating as well). The UI is something between Pinterest and Tumblr, though trying to stay friendly to the microblogging world of Mastodon and friends. There is code available at https://gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome
@hq@socialhome.network
After over a year, a Socialhome release is out again! The main thanks for this release goes out to @alain@jase.social, who has pretty much re-written the whole ActivityPub federation layer for this release. Not a small job at all, and without any noticeable regressions too.
Initially, when the ActivityPub layer was added for Socialhome, it was a quick JSON only job, with federation only really ever tested with Mastodon. Now we have proper JSON-LD based inbound/outbound federation that not only adds a lot more supported platforms but also support for various new objects like video and audio.
Highlights:
And many more fixes and tweaks. Full changelog.
This release also pairs with a v0.23.0 release of the federation library. The changelog for that can be found here.

Alain ( @alain@jase.social ) has been hard at work during 2023, making Socialhome a better citizen in the Fediverse. The releases of Socialhome v0.18.0 and federation library v0.25.0 bring a ton of fixes and compatibility improvements when talking to other platforms on the network.
Additionally there are improvements to how Socialhome renders content, fetches missing profiles and work on reducing database load, among other items to mention.
For the full changelogs, see:
federation: https://gitlab.com/jaywink/federation/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.mdWe recommend using the Docker images:
registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.18.0registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.18.0-arm64Notes on how to use the Docker images can be found in the docs. They're a bit minimal, we're looking on getting better example Docker based install instructions in place soon.

@kissane and @darius have published a major new report about governance on the fediverse:
https://fediverse-governance.github.io/
I had the pleasure of seeing an early draft -- the final result is even stronger! It's going to be a key document for fedi admins and moderators.
@josemurilo@mato.social
"…our interviews with people who run #Mastodon and Hometown #servers proved so fruitful that we wrote about twice as much analysis and documentation as we’d intended to do, and then spent the summer working through peer feedback.
…in the DIY spirit of the #Fediverse, we wanted to get the findings out as quickly as possible so that they can start finding their readers."

@announcements@mastodon.bsd.cafe
Friends of the #BSDCafe and of the #Fediverse,
initially, for just over a year, BSD Cafe's media was stored in a FreeBSD physical server jail with an outgoing bandwidth of 250 Mbit/sec. To address bandwidth congestion, I had integrated Cloudflare with a tunnel, serving media (and only media) through Cloudflare.
In line with the principles of self-hosting and data ownership, I’ve decided to remove Cloudflare. This has led to some bandwidth congestion when media was posted and slower download speeds for users, particularly during peak times. This is because as soon as content is published and federated servers are notified, they will rush (depending on how full their queues are) to download the newly published content - media included.
I’ve now revised the setup (currently in beta) by moving DNS management to two personal nameservers run with PowerDNS. The media server remains the same, but I’ve added two reverse proxies, one in the USA and one in Germany (the media server is in Poland). They're connected to the Media server via WireGuard.
I’ve installed the excellent Varnish and created a custom VCL. Media requests will be directed by the PowerDNS LUA scripts to the caller's closest reverse proxy. Nginx will pass requests to Varnish, which will serve data from the cache if available. If not, it will fetch from the original server, but request volume has decreased significantly.
I’m analyzing the results, and they look very promising. I may expand this home-made CDN by adding more VPSs, potentially closer to Asia and Oceania.
A detailed blog post will follow.
Stay tuned!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
some of you have expressed the desire to offer a bit of support to BSD Cafe.
In response, I've set up a Ko-fi page and a LiberaPay account for the project.

@mastodonmilestoneprogress That's a bit of a bummer.
No more milestones, and https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap is no longer up to date.
Completely understandable, as the team is very small and has a ton of higher priorities to focus on.
At least we have the Trunk and Tidbits series https://blog.joinmastodon.org/categories/trunk-and-tidbits/, but I will miss having a more "real-time" overview of what's coming in the next few releases.

The Fediverse is often referred to as a decentralized "social network", but I think that misses some of the bigger ways that ActivityPub can make the web more open and user friendly.
Today I talked to @pfefferle about his ActivityPub For WordPress plugin and the advantages of connecting your site to the #fediverse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DhK8uSKIdE&list=PL6nDc7ACvovJMt8MEiebpsXnlBuKp158j&index=1 #ActivityPub #WordPress

Me 2 weeks ago: oh I will just do a post about #Lemmy interoperability with the rest of the #Fediverse for my blog series #TheFutureIsFederated.
How hard can it be? I already federated my Wordpress blog and figured out #Friendica.
Me today: I now have accounts on #Lemmy PLUS #PieFed AND #Mbin because my initial federation tests had mixed results. Reading my notes makes me go 😵💫😅
Despite all this I still LOVE the #Fediverse and I’m in awe of #Mastodon’s interoperability (it comes out shining)

Hello Fedi Friends!
I've been running lots of #interoperability tests between #Lemmy #PieFed #Mbin and the rest of the #Fediverse and I've been learning so many interesting things! I cannot wait to write about all this for #TheFutureIsFederated. (For the record these are content aggregators, the Fedi’s answer to #Reddit).
I may have to resort to hand-written graphs because some of the stuff is a bit convoluted 😅
Spoiler alert:
#Mbin ↔️ #Mastodon ✅🥳
#Mbin ↔️ #Friendica ❌😵💫

I just realized you can’t “follow” a post, and get notified of any new replies to it.
Yes, I know all the blah blah blah about not getting all replies on my instance. It would still be a nice feature for some threads like “follow me as I make progress on this macrame quilt of the great puppy war of 1782” type threads posts.

So Threads has now been operational for over a year and it recently crossed the 200M user mark (ref: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C-I-3ynvHmq). Has there been *any* update on when Mastodon users (and those from other fedi apps) will be able to be followed by Threads users? Because they still are only 1/2 of a fediverse app. Maybe I missed an update, or maybe they're just hoping nobody notices? I honestly have no idea at this point... Anyone have an update? #Fediverse #Threads
@darren@c.im · Reply to Newsmast's post
@newsmast #Mastodon user and activity count bots, and there are several, seldom agree. I always cringe when I see this reported, as they generally seem to undercount users and activity. For example,
@mastodonusercount would likely exclude counting any server and user and activity that has been blocked by Mastodon social. And it doesn't to my knowledge aggregate any stats from other federated networks.
Focusing on Mastodon only, rather than the entire openly federated AP powered network, sells the broader #Fediverse and its potential far short.
@newsmast@newsmast.social
"With more and more influential users on platforms which are a part of, or can connect to, the Fediverse we've taken a giant leap towards a better connected social future."
Did the exodus from X / Twitter actually happen in the UK? What does it all mean for the Fediverse?

Totally!
Here’s one more idea: Governments should ask to self-host Threads.
I.e. @POTUS@whitehouse.gov on Threads
In the short term, many govs will have an easier time making a commercial arrangement with Meta as opposed to either a bespoke solution or a collab with a tiny fedi upstart.
The govs know Threads can federate, and this sovereignty-requirement would force Threads’ own network to fragment more within itself, thus curtailing some of their network power.

Happy to see that my translations for #activitypub #WordPress plugin have been approved and I'm now trying to cover the readme file, in order to have plugin description translated as well. My 2 cents to help people discover #fediverse - I can't deny I sometimes feel discouraged, having just a couple followers on blog's profile but patience rewards me, I can't be in a rush.
@arcadetoken@autistics.life
Taking a peek at Friendica, out of sheer curiosity as a former Facebook user driven out by the platform quality. It simultaneously looks nice yet maybe overengineered for the amount of volume and users, and more anonymized nature of it? For those who use it, what do you like best about it?

Wird das Fediverse erwachsen?
Das Fediverse ist aus einer IT-Bewegung heraus entstanden und hatte und hat deshalb eine Grundstruktur, die zu dieser Entstehungsgeschichte passt.
Die nächste Gruppe, die sich für das Fediverse interessiert hatte, sind Menschen, die die kapitalistischen Netzwerke ablehnen und deshalb auf der Suche nach Alternativen waren.
Nach dem offensichtlichen Verfall von Twitter gab es einige Wellen von Menschen, die auf der Suche nach einer Kopie von Twitter waren. Da das Fediverse aber keine Kopie von Twitter ist, haben viele dieser Accounts relativ schnell zu BlueSky oder Threads gewechselt. Bestes Beispiel dafür ist die Instanz det.social von Jan Böhmermann, die mal über 10.000 aktive Accounts hatte, jetzt aber wieder unter 3.000 gefallen ist.
Das Fediverse hat es also nicht geschafft, für die eigentliche Mitte der Gesellschaft relevant zu werden (PS: Was für mich persönlich auch nicht zwingend notwendig ist).
Relativ neu, zumindest in meiner Wahrnehmung, sind Accounts wie @BlumeEvolution@sueden.social. Klar gab es hier auch schon vorher einige eher konservative Accounts, aber die sind in dem hier dominierenden linken IT-Umfeld meist untergegangen.
Was neu ist, sind intellektuelle konservative Accounts mit vielen Followern, die es geschafft haben, ihre Trolle aus den kapitalistischen Netzwerken mitzubringen.
Diese Accounts sollten wir bei ihrem Kampf gegen Trolle unterstützen (PS: Alle alle anderen netten Accounts natürlich auch)
Diese Accounts brauchen wir unbedingt hier im Fediverse, um ein breiteres Spektrum der Gesellschaft abbilden zu können. Deshalb ist es aus meiner Sicht, im Sinne des gesamten Netzwerks, sinnvoll, diese Accounts besonders zu unterstützen. Wir sind hier ganz offensichtlich eine linke IT-Blase (bitte nicht zu sehr darüber aufregen :-), aber genau das ist in diesem Fall eine große Chance. Denn hier sind wir die Mehrheit und können deshalb die Trolle ganz klar in ihre Schranken verweisen.
Deshalb möchte ich euch alle dazu auffordern, solche Accounts zu unterstützen (PS: damit meine ich natürlich nicht die Trolle!), auch wenn ihr nicht inhaltlich der gleichen Meinung seid.
Antwortet den Trollen einfach freundlich und inhaltlich, dann verlieren die schnell das Interesse, weil sie nur gewinnen können, wenn sie die Diskussion richtig Wut und Hass lenken können.
Dazu haben sie im Fediverse nur ihren jeweiligen Account; es gibt keinen Algorithmus, der aggressives Verhalten unterstützt.
Noch ein Hinweis zu solchen Trollaccounts. Oft legt eine Person mehrere solcher Accounts auf verschiedenen Instanzen an und antwortet dann sehr ähnlich auf Posts bestimmter Personen. Da kann man dann durchaus auch mal erwähnen, dass einem das aufgefallen ist. Darauf gibt es dann natürlich sehr empörte Rückmeldungen, dass das eine Unterstellung wäre, aber falls man es hinbekommt, die zu ignorieren, verläuft das schnell im Nichts. Am besten deshalb bei der Antwort das Wort Vermutung einbauen, dann hat man später nicht so stark den Impuls, sich zu verteidigen.

Here's something everyone needs to understand: I make the rules regarding how others are permitted to interact with me.
If you come at me out of nowhere raging at me, that conversation is going to end immediately. I honestly don't care why you're mad. It doesn't matter. And I don't care if you're progressive, liberal, conservative, or fascist. That conversation is not happening.
This holds especially true if you're raging at me for nothing other than an accident of my birth. I didn't pick my ancestry. I didn't select my sexual orientation. They are what they are, and if that makes you angry, well too bad.
You're entitled to your opinions of course. But you are not entitled to interact with me.
Again, I decide who gets to interact with me and how that interaction is permitted to commence. Chances are if you're able to behave like a nominally civilized human being we'll be fine. If you can't, then it's going to be a very short conversation punctuated by the block button.

Hello fellow citizens of the free and open web, it is me, Ben Brown. You may remember me from that social network from back when social networks were cool, or maybe from that one open source project that blew up.
Hi, it is great to see you again.
First off, corporate owned social media always sucked, we always knew it. It is past time for us to have better options.I am so glad for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub and Mastodon and other projects for breathing new life into the indie web, where it is possible for us to own what we post and use whatever tools we want. I couldn’t resist building something!
My new project is called SHUTTLECRAFT. It social media server … FOR ONE.
What does that mean?
It is very small and lightweight open source app that runs nicely on services like Glitch, but it has most of what you need to host your own personal social media account.
It’s got a microblogging tool, to make posts. You can customize the design with HTML and CSS. You can follow people on Mastodon or other services and interact with posts and send messages. People can follow you on Mastodon, or with RSS. You run it on your own server so you own and operate the data and the code and the whole service. And you can hack the code and make it weirder so that we can all be part of a better, more diverse and more interesting web.
No billionaires or mega-corps required!
I made a 3 minute video showing how it works:
https://www.loom.com/share/a6441bcebdc64f54b5010c95eae1e180
Though this a personal project and only a few weeks old, with tons of stuff still unfinished and yet to build... you can get the code right now and run your own right now! The official site also has a 3 minute walk through of setting up an instance on Glitch. It is pretty easy!
Or go straight to for the code:

Thanks to everyone who has already tested this or sent feedback or contributed code. Y'all rule.

My reply to a GitHub discussion on why WordPress should have their own Mastodon account:
Well, the first thing what I'm a bit bummed about here is that why is WordPress.org seeking only a commercial, wide-as-possible-reach type of platform in social media when the other major foot is obviously in the open source world? Mastodon and the Fediverse is full of WordPress and PHP people and influencers, WordPress itself connects to ActivityPub and Threads.net connects to ActivityPub as well. So the reach is not any absolute metric here as it's not just one platform. It's the whole web.
For the second question, just see how much WordPress is talked about between instances, I've seen numerous folks of missing the official WordPress account there, including the community folks.

So, kbin.social (and likely #kbin itself) is dead.
I only joined the #fediverse in the "twitter migration" and *already* have 2 accounts that died on instances that were "flagships" but just disappeared (kbin & firefish).
No blame or shame for the devs or anything. They tried which is much more than most of us.
But whoever "decided" that true mobile identity isn't a priority for #activitypub / fediverse, probably fucked up.
Why hasn't the fediverse grown more? Instances & immobile accounts!?

My favorite #Mastodon feed? The Local feed of my instance, indieweb.social
Why? Because with about ~1300 monthly active users, and ~10 posts/hour, or less, it is actually possible to check *everything* that was posted today in a reasonable time!
And, I automatically have something in common with everyone here; the instance's focus: #openweb, #indieweb, #fediverse & #humanetech
It feels like the good old days of being a regular on a bulletin board forum around a topic I really enjoy.

Also, how likely is it looking that we'll get federated groups that are compatible between both Mastodon and a Misskey derivative? Or ideally compatibility between a whole bunch of ActivityPub implementations.
I'm pleased to see some progress at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19059 and I can appreciate it's not something you would want to rush.

This release contains some important performance fixes to some background jobs that had previously caused a lot of database load. Additionally, we queue less jobs that don't make sense.
Full changelog:
We recommend using the Docker images:
registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.20.0registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.20.0-arm64Notes on how to use the Docker images can be found in the docs. They're a bit minimal, we're looking on getting better example Docker based install instructions in place soon.
Socialhome is best described as a federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols.
Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself.
If you want to try Socialhome first before trying to install it, register at https://socialhome.network and then ping us with a comment on the user name chosen, and the account can be activated. You can also request account approval in the chat room. Unfortunately due to spammers accounts on the project instance need to be separately activated.
Want to work on a Django and VueJS powered social network server? Join in the fun! We have easy to follow development environment setup documentation and a friendly chat room for questions.

I discovered today that @prologic has added #ActivityPub support to their twtxt server software https://yarn.social and its largest instance https://twtxt.net essentially bridging the #fediverse and twtxt networks together.
If you are unfamiliar with #twtxt, it is a different take on decentralized microblogging that has been around for many years, and it is quite interesting to see it now bridged between this side and that one!

I don't think many folks here in the English speaking side of the fedi know about #Juick (juick.com) but its another part of the #fediverse that is already federating. I just discovered that they are also open source and the code is all available at https://x.juick.com/Juick/ licensed under AGPLv3. #ActivityPub

Could we get #Altmetric to incorporate #Mastodon / #Fediverse mentions? If yes, how?
It’s really annoying to still see twitter there and not even Masto. I’m sure that’s one of the reasons why some scientists are still on twitter. It seems a detail but it is really useful to check out “attention” towards a specific paper and different discussions of it.

#Musk can't believe he drove advertisers away from #X / #Twitter by turning it into the #hellscape he saw as a risk and promised to avoid.
So he's suing them. Their departure must be an illegal conspiracy.

I'm new to Mastodon and I gather it's conventional to write an #introduction.
I have wide-ranging interests from #judaism to #tech_writing (my profession) to #music to #cooking to #science_fiction to #history. I love to learn. I tend to follow tangents.
I've been online for (*cough*) a while. I believe communities work best when they put community members first (not stockholders) This is one of the reasons I helped found #Codidact and why the #fediverse attracts me.

People complain about UX issues, search problems, and other addressable minutiae on the #fediverse. They are missing the fact that billionaire oligarch assholes aren’t controlling your speech. You are distressingly close to losing your voice forever. Get serious and understand that things will improve here, but there is also a material difference between this and other platforms.

@reiver@mastodon.social
Right now most #Fediverse applications tightly bundle the back-end server and the front-end client
I think it would be better for the Fediverse if back-end servers and front-end clients were separate projects.
I think it would make Fediverse development easier
(Ex: if you just want a new user-experience, just make a new front-end client. Don't bother with the back-end server.)
And would make it so you can optimize installs easier
(You could pick the back-end server that matches your needs.)

We, the Aktionsbündnis neue Soziale Medien (New Social Media Action Alliance) today appealed to #universities in Germany to shut down their #X (formerly #Twitter) accounts as soon as possible.
Signatures for the appeal, written as an open letter, are now being collected on the #OpenPetition platform 📝
https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/open-letter-to-the-german-rectors-conference-hrk-on-the-use-of-social-media
The appeal points out that the presence on X/Twitter does not do justice to the universities' remit to provide information because of the #disinformation and political agitation practised there. At the same time, presences should be established on #Mastodon and other services in the #Fediverse, whose decentralised and moderated design is much more compatible with the rules of democratic and sustainable coexistence.

Hey everyone!
I'm a 19-year-old from Bangladesh, part of the Gen Z generation. I’m passionate about privacy, FOSS, and freedom of speech. As a practicing Muslim, I find balance and peace in my faith.
I love programming, mainly in Python and C for now, and I'm an avid reader. Recently, I fell in love with chemistry after reading "The Disappearing Spoon."
I stand firmly against any forms of racism and genocide. As an introvert, I grew up feeling a bit lonely because I didn't find many people like me.
Looking forward to connecting with like-minded folks here!

@stefano@bsd.cafe
Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, until now, I have taken an approach to moderation where I engage in dialogue with users to find suitable solutions. However, for some colleagues, this approach has not seemed sufficient, so I will be adopting a different strategy. From now on, as soon as an issue is reported to me, I will take immediate action and then discuss it with the user. Fortunately, these situations are very rare, but they do occur, and I want to ensure that no one feels attacked or harassed. For this reason, I am adding a new rule:
Promote Positivity:
BSD Cafe is a supportive environment. Pro, not against.Any kind of attacks are strictly prohibited.This is a place for relaxation and serenity. Violations may lead to immediate account suspension. Negative behavior risks our server being isolated by others, affecting all users

Today feels like a proper milestone for #Aardwolf-Social. One that makes me smile with pride, but also one of regrets.
Unfortunately I no longer believe that the project will be at MVP status by the time #Veilid launches. I genuinely wanted that because it gave me a target to reach for. Something that drove me to #TryHarder. While I feel that I have made huge personal gains in my #Rust dev knowledge, it simply isn't enough.
However.
Today also marked the first time in many years that I was able to share the Vision of what Aardwolf-Social is meant to be. Right now, we are two developers, but right now, we are in sync.
Aardwolf-Social was never -JUST- about building an alternative to Facebook. That's why the project rapidly went from #Fedibook to Aardwolf-Social. It has ALWAYS been a COMMUNITY project. Something to be built by everyone. An application that will help to unify the #Fediverse. This vision, still stands.
The other dev, and I have come to the agreement that we are going to expand the modular nature of the project. In its current state there is still some rigidity that neither of us like. That will need to be remedied. While this means that we have to delay MVP-status... it is what we both want.
Aardwolf-Social will be built like a web-app version of (Mx.) Potato Head.
In practical terms...
We will -ALSO- provide a map for how to build your own modules.
The only answer to all of those questions is "Do it".
We will provide a method to do all of that. In other words, you should be able to "Build your own Aardwolf-Social"
This is the Vision I have dreamed of for this project. Devs, system administrators, and users should all be able to participate from within their own comfort zones.
This... will be Aardwolf-Social.

The first screenshot is @algernon (a Forgejo account able to be tagged in this post!) commenting on the issue: https://shoes.forgejo.madhouse-project.org/algernon/federation-test/issues/4 as seen in @phanpy while logged into my Mastodon account!

Jumping on the #introduction bandwagon: Hi I'm Nick!
I'm an #infosec professional who started off in #pentesting and #appsec many years ago. Now I'm a CISO at a Norwegian #SaaS company looking at things more and more through a GRC lens.
I've spent several years in the USA and UK, and now live in #Norway just outside #oslo with my wife and two #cats. Sometimes I'm inspired to dabble in #photography. Other times I enjoy #bicycling, #hiking, #chess and #reading
Hoping to find less of a dumpster fire of negativity over here in the #fediverse :)

I would like, first up, to pay lip service to the principle of positivity begetting positivity. In a perfect world I guess we'd all just sling emojis around and good vibes would just shine upon us and permeate the fediverse.
In reality though, there is what seems like a sizable contingent of folks who kick around as though they're kitted out in riot gear, pepper canisters poised to blast anyone they deem to be somehow outside their idea of right and proper discourse.
Just remember, ACAB is an acronym beginning in A and that A represents a collectivity that is inclusive of these fediscolds. I know you think you are righteous and your path is ever glorious but acab, brothers and sisters, acab you tedious fuckin wankers.

Hello #fediverse!
As it's my first post here, allow me to do some kind of an #introduction!
I’m Luca, a drummer and an IT professional from Italy, currently based in the Czech Republic 🙃
I make music and I do nerdy tech stuff! 🎶:crt_monitor:

👋 I'm excited to finally say hello to all you amazing folks of the #Fediverse 🌐 with my #Introduction post! Calling the southeastern U.S. home, my life is a vibrant mix of #graphicdesign, #3dprinting, #3Dmodeling, and delving into the fascinating intricacies of technology. I'm in the thick of my graduate studies in #cybersecurity leadership, focusing on integrating cybersecurity with product management processes for more resilient software and services.
I passionately believe that breaking down the cybersecurity silo in organizations means leveraging #userexperience concepts, making cybersecurity practical and understandable for every role.
I'm a sponge for knowledge, and I'm building my tech understanding in #python, #networking, cloud, and machine learning concepts. I'll be the first to admit I have much to learn.
Reading is my haven 📖 - you'll find me lost in the spellbinding worlds of #NealStephenson, #WilliamGibson, the Dune series, and The Expanse 🚀. I also have a soft spot for #InfoSec books like 'The Cuckoo's Egg,' 'Spam Nation,' and 'Sandworm.' I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations! 📚
As an out #nonbinary individual, I'm committed to building inclusion around gender and feminist issues. I aim to help dismantle "male defaults" and foster more equitable work and community environments for a better future for everyone.
The camaraderie and shared learning in the #Fediverse echo the Linux User Groups and Hackerspaces culture I cherish. It's an absolute joy to be a part of a community that upholds these principles.
If you love dissecting the latest in #tech, exploring #opensource software, or immersing yourself in a gripping #scifi or #cybersecurity book, let's connect! Follow me and drop a comment about your favorite tech trend, current read, fediverse tip, or your efforts toward a more inclusive tech community. Can't wait to hear from you!
I'm eager to learn, share, and grow with you all.

Hello,
I’m deeply touched by the support I’ve received from the Fediverse community. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing now. Thank you for your humanity.
Recently, Bangladesh lifted its ban on major social media sites like Facebook and WhatsApp, but only after they agreed to comply with the government’s demands. You know what that means.
ISPs and IIGs have been instructed (unofficially, as far as I know) to continue DPI operations and block all VPN traffic. However, I’ll keep playing this game of hide and seek to avoid speed throttling. For now, changing protocols and ports is working. I’m using Shadowsocks, AmneziaWG, Xray with Reality, and Wireguard. I also plan to run Tor bridges.
Some people have expressed interest in a Tor-enabled Fediverse instance for the Bangladeshi community to reduce reliance on Facebook and Twitter (X). I’ve decided to use Akkoma with the Mangane frontend.
Unfortunately, I need more funds than I currently have to continue my operations. If you can, please consider donating. Every dollar counts.
Here’s a brief update on the current situation:
The police and ruling party members are conducting house-to-house searches for students, similar to Nazi tactics. Anyone who participated in peaceful protests or voiced support is likely unable to sleep at night.
The government is trying to portray the movement as an anti-government conspiracy by political parties. So far, all their plans have failed. Yesterday, they banned Jamaat-e-Islami. The government expected a violent response to use as a distraction from the ongoing student movement and massacres committed by law enforcement. Fortunately, Jamaat recognized the trap and only issued a statement opposing the decision. Most opposition parties immediately voiced support for Jamaat-e-Islami, increasing their support. It’s also unconstitutional to ban such a large party without a public vote, but I’ve never seen a fair, non-rigged election in Bangladesh in my lifetime.
For those wondering, the student movement was about reforming the quota system in government jobs, not about hunger or food. However, the government had other plans. They decided to kill and arrest as many students as possible. Nearly 89% of those arrested (over 2000 people) by Dhaka Metropolitan Police have no political affiliation. Consider it a form of civil disobedience.
That’s all for now. I need your support to continue helping people in need, providing tools to protect their privacy, and helping them bypass censorship. We would also be grateful if you could help the Bangladeshi community join the Fediverse.
Please help us fight surveillance and censorship.
Donate here: https://bio.link/mitexleo
Thank you.
Edit:
To everyone participating in today’s mass protest, please be aware that social media sites may be blocked, as some users have already reported. There is also a possibility of an internet shutdown. The police, BGB, RAB, and Army have taken positions, and there are reports of protestors being shot from helicopters last time. Regardless, stay together, even in the face of violence. Do not leave anyone behind. If you have internet access, please use our proxies and livestream on social media. I am prepared to deploy more servers if needed. Together, we will prevail, InShaAllah.
Edit: The instance is live! Feel free to join Buddyverse.one

#blogging bloggers of the #fediverse! I come seeking advice!
Really enjoying writing my new #tech culture blog but really have no idea where to post links to get more eyes on it. The #blog hashtag here doesn’t seem to get a lot of traction. Any advice? That isn’t SEO sleazy crap?
My gut tells me there’s a thriving subculture of blogs out there but not sure if/where there’s an on-ramp.

Yesterday was tougher than I expected it to be. My wedding day anniversary 60 years ago. If Alberto (my husband) still had been alive it would have been a major celebration). I'll keep that in mind when it comes to friends in similar situations. For the one left behind the event is still significant, yet it seems as if it is no longer so relevant is other's eyes or they are afraid it will cause upset. It might, but the right sort of upset. It is important. #Loss #Mastodon #Fediverse #celebration

As we approach the U.S. election, misinformation and abuse are on the rise and more people are fleeing X in search of something safer and more trustworthy. This is an incredible opportunity for the #fediverse but only if we are able to maintain and expand the effectiveness of our #moderation as we scale.
In this latest episode of Dot Social I go deep with two well known trust and safety experts who are advancing decentralized moderation for the fediverse: @samlai.bsky.social and @jaz. We discuss strengths and weaknesses today as well as what the future could hold.
Check out the conversation on our PeerTube instance or wherever you get your podcasts.

Wenn wir uns doch so sicher sind, dass das #Fediverse die geilere Alternative zur Empörungsbewirtschaftung auf classic Social Media ist, wieso sind wir dann so Wenige?
Auf der #BildetNetze Konferenz von @netzpolitik_feed wollen @pneutig , @ueckueck und ich mit euch gemeinsam Wege erarbeiten, wie wir hier solidarisch und nachhaltig Social Media für Alle ermöglichen können.
Der Workshop wird in etwa so wild wie das von mir gebastelte Sharepic, sei besser dabei!
@pneutig@eupolicy.social
Bald ist #BildetNetze von @netzpolitik_feed!
@ueckueck, @korporal und ich bieten auch 1 Workshop an: „Katzenvideos, radikale Antifafluencer*innen und du: 1 Fediverse größer als die netzpolitische Bubble“.
Was uns eint sind u.a. Erfahrung mit #Fediverse und das Bedürfnis, da noch mehr draus zu machen. Gleichzeitig haben wir teils sehr(!) unterschiedliche Perspektiven, wie das von Markus gestaltete Teaserbild verdeutlicht (#SorryNotSorry). Und ich glaube, genau deswegen wird das richtig spannend!

You get annoyed by having to enter your #Mastodon handle each time you want to follow/interact with someone on a "foreign" page?
I got that too, so I've made a little add-on to solve this "problem". 😃
It automatically "redirects" you to your own instance.

Entgegen aller Unkenrufe muss ich zugeben, dass ich obwohl ich Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), diaspora*, Akkoma am Laufen hatte, doch mit Mastodon irgendwie am besten klar komme. Steinigt mich, #fediverse

Currently trying out #Friendica for a new issue of my newsletter/blog #TheFutureIsFederated and this GIF speaks louder than words. I’m OBSESSED 😍
I’ve spent an hour adding #Bluesky accounts and #RSS feeds of my favorite blogs (in addition to a selection of #Mastodon and federated #Threads accounts). It’s SOOOO COOL…
Thank you #Fediverse and #ActivityPub for making this possible 🪄✨

I respect and appreciate all the work the Mastodon team and all the various volunteers have done, no question about that. This is not about calling out any particular individuals.
But I hope that in light of the ongoing conversations, the Mastodon team will reevaluate their priorities, with input from folks most impacted by the platform's deficiencies.
@newsmast@newsmast.social
We’re committed to helping people find their place in the Fediverse and wider Social Web.
We’ve helped hundreds of people, across multiple platforms, understand the idea by stripping down the tech and reimagining it.
We’ve put that learning in a video. It won’t answer all the questions, but it’s a strong starting point to help explain the Fediverse to outsiders.
Please share it to help educate others.

Makes me smile warmly when I come across a new web dev expert, perhaps via a link from someone, and it goes to their Twitter/X page, but then I see they've stopped posting on X and are pointing to their Mastodon page. So I follow them on Mastodon, also knowing X doesn't get to access that person's thoughts anymore. Slowly but surely, the brains of the web dev community are shifting to the decentralized web — where of course they truly belong. #CircleOfLife #Fediverse

🎶 “Mastodon is not the fediverse” 🎶
@FinchHaven@infosec.exchange
To the new wave of #Mastodon / #Fediverse #HallMonitors / #HOA nags jumping people who are supporting #Harris2024 / #HarrisForPresident because they do *not* support your #MutualAidRequest at the same time
1) How do you know they don't?
and
2) You don't see a palpable difference between contributing financially to a nationally-known political campaign and giving money away to some completely unverifiable "person" on Venmo or Cashapp or whatever?
Really?
Really?
Or is it really that you just don't like #KamalaHarris or the #Democrats?

Es wäre wunderbar, wenn Inhaltsersteller ihre Werke nicht nur auf #YouTube, sondern auch parallel auf #PeerTube veröffentlichen würden. Dies würde eine echte Alternative zu YouTube schaffen und somit ein Gegengewicht zu dessen Marktmacht darstellen.
Gerade bei ÖRR (ARD, ZDF usw) wäre meiner Meinung sowas pflicht.
Aber auch andere Youtuber spreche ich damit an!

A word about algorithms.
What I dislike the most in commercial recommendation algorithms in social media are that they actually LABEL you. I've seen a study about this, but for the death of me can't find it anymore. However, I've also read books by Jaron Lanier and other folks who helped create the original social media algorithms so I feel like I have a tiny bit of competence to talk about this.
What this "labeling" means is that in the eyes of an algorithm Roni Laukkarinen, the user nicknamed rolle (that's me) for example is:
- A Finnish person from Finland
- White male
- A technical person
- More to the left politically than right
What this often means by the actions of the system (especially on Threads, X and other similar commercial social medias):
- Let's not show Posts in English or other languages, let's not give them visibility, he's Finnish so it's useless!
- Let's lean towards more familiari perspectives to him as a white male
- He is a techie, let's show him more tech side stuff and ignore the ordinary life things, okay maybe memes, everyone loves memes
- He's a leftist so let's polarize his political opinions more strongly against the right and just show him far-right views he despises or the most popular leftie updates
This is just an example but you get the point. I often see either my post visibility or what I see exploited by the algorithm, in ways that I lose. It's amazing that most people don't even realize they are being controlled this way.
All the while, I'm definitely not against algorithms alltogether. I'm against algorithms that have a commercial or policital gain. I wish there would be a healthier algorithmic option available on the Fediverse. We have the "Explore" tab, but we should get even more choices and go forwards towards a modern "For you" feed where the user is in control.

Rather than a #FollowFriday #ff recommendation, I'd like to propose that those of us outside of the #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi community on here broaden who we follow.
Even if for just a few days, and then unfollow later on. Just to get a sense of what is going on outside of our usual bubbles.
I seriously don't want to see another "show me an example of racism" comment.

Hello, fediverse community 👋
We're excited to share that the Flipboard community team is kicking off this new account to celebrate and amplify Magazines curated by passionate enthusiasts and experts, publishers, and organizations on Flipboard.
Follow along to get recommendations for Magazines to follow in news, tech, science, history, culture, travel and more. A Magazine is a curated feed of posts about a specific topic or interest that is followable, just like a profile.

Local news matters, now more than ever. So a few weeks ago, we asked you for your thoughts on federating local papers in the USA — where you're located, and the specific publications you'd like to see. You responded, with ideas, suggestions, and an education on American geography. Now, we've federated 64 publications. Here's a blogpost with more details, plus a spreadsheet with a list of all the federated profiles, which include everyone from @AlaskaBeacon to @SunSentinel. If you spy a profile you like, search for it in the fediverse and you should see all its Magazines (topical feeds). Follow the profile to see everything in your feed, or just Magazines if you're only interested in, for example, South Florida Sports (@south-florida-sports-SunSentinel) or Texas Barbecue (@texas-bbq-TexasMonthly). If we've missed something or you have a suggestion for us, just let us know in the comments. Follow our @FlipboardMagazines account for regular updates on federated Magazines.

Has anyone written a good “Fediverse for Politicians” post?
I want to encourage my representative to include the #Fediverse in their communications strategy. I think the meaningful fundraising demonstrated by #mastodonforharris will be more convincing than technical arguments.
I’d rather not write yet another introduction to #Mastodon and #ActivityPub post, so show me what you’ve got!

Wir haben den Blog auf einstieg-in-wp.de mit ActivityPub fedifiziert, sodass man ihn hier auf Mastodon abonnieren kann:
@blog (at-einstieg-in-wp.de)
Einfach auf den Link klicken und folgen.
ActivityPub kann man sich wie interaktives RSS vorstellen, denn Kommentare zu Beiträgen erscheinen sowohl auf Mastodon als auch im Blog auf unserer Website.
Bin gespannt, ob und wie das in der Praxis funktioniert.

Somebody should just code and replicate #tumblr’s exact user interface/experience and then port it over to the #fediverse. #activitypub
@floppy@fosstodon.org · Reply to [moved] Floppy 💾's post
And I think that leads me to a concern I have been brooding over in the last few weeks:
👉 The #Fediverse is not a drop-in replacement for #Twitter.
And it shouldn't be, because that would undermine the added value that comes
1) from local communities, connected by shared values, that also federate,
2) from empowering individuals to be in control of their identity and data, and
3) from the open standards that allow extending the "language" of the network.

As we start to get ready for the debates and energy of the #FediForum, I'd love to collect all of your thoughts on:
What are the most pressing issues for the #Fediverse right now and in the next 6 months? What challenges are different from those a year ago? What did we solve in the past 6 months and what didn't we? What help do we need to move the Fediverse forward?

I've gone through the specification and believe me it isn't well documented.
There are blogs which are far better than the official specification.

I'm working on a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated that aims to show what interoperability looks like on the #Fediverse.
As I said before, it feels like ✨ magic ✨
I logged in @phanpy for the first time using my @pixelfed credentials and I used its incredible catch-up feature to see posts I had missed. Mind = blown 🤯 😍

Although I haven't used this poor abandoned blog much, it is not because I dislike the MicroBlog.pub software that I am using to self-host it. It actually helped me to learn about the IndieWeb.org and MicroPub.net communities, as well as practice work with the ActivityPub.rocks protocol (which is the engine of the #Fediverse).
Sadly, as I got excited about MicroBlog.pub, I realized that the creator had abandoned the project for more than a year. Issues, requests, and pull requests have piled up. The excitement of users faded away as I found forks close doors. But it is #opensource, right?
Yep!
Hence, I decided to contact some other users and start a collective effort to keep this cool project alive. Here is where it will live: https://github.com/microblog-pub
Let us hope I will be able to put together a good crew. 🤞

It's kinda funny that I don't even care anymore that "not everyone is on Mastodon". It is definitely a good thing. The same happened in the past with IRC and Telegram. You know they still exist, lots of people like me use them and I still will not use the popular ones that much or at all.

We’re supporting @Mastodon through #FastForward because @Gargron, @renchap, and the entire #Mastodon team are doing important work and we want to help them scale it with integrity.

I know what you mean.
Every time there's a mass exodus from somewhere like TwitterX or Reddit, we receive a glut of new users who want to remake the fediverse in the image of the dysfunctional site they just fled.
Most of them give up and leave for a new dysfunctional site within a few months (hello, Threads and BlueSky!); but there are always some who get it and stick around.

I don't understand why so many folk on #mastodon are recommending against running your own #mail server.
The fundamental premise of the #fediverse is distributed diversity yet when it comes to email apparently centralising the whole planet to @gmail is the preferred outcome.
This is broken and dangerously wrong.
Running your own mail server is equally as valid as running your own #mastodon instance.
@nicemicro@fosstodon.org · Reply to FOSS Post's post
@fosspost frankly it doesn't matter how good your operating system is.
The problem is, that everyone using the same software means everyone is vulnerable to the same issues.
This is why #SelfHosting and #Fediverse type services are so so important. If the Mastodon server I'm on goes down, it might effect me and my server-siblings, but won't affect everyone.
So. thank your #FreeSoftware developer today for having your interest in their focus, instead of just making the most amount of money.
@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz
Looks like the #fediverse has champions at the Verge;
"But all of this stuff only works if there is a standard, and I’d bet $10 that ActivityPub is going to be that standard. It’s the one that’s overseen by the World Wide Web Consortium, it’s the one with the most momentum, it’s the one Threads is supposedly going to support — it’s just kind of clearly winning."

i woke up today thinking about something thats been bothering me a lot about :butterfedy1: :butterfedy2: :butterfedy3: fedi, the timeline, it gets drowned by ultra shortform discussions, i dont want to mute anyone because many discussions are great, but i just want something that rotates through everyone i follow in a given time period, eg "give me one post from everyone in the past 6 hours".
the difficulty is coming up with a good "interval time" ie. what if the last "hour" is the most important or, "2 hours" or past "day" ....how to pick this meaningful intervalTime. i'm still in bed thinking about this. Then i realize that the interval time is WHATEVER MY AVERAGE POSTING RATE IS over the day. So if in the past 24 hours I post 1 post per 4 hours then the intervalTime ought be 4 hours. So give me one post from everyone i follow in the past 4 hours.... after that is exhausted? 8 hours, so excluding the posts already shown, cycle through every person i follow who has posted in the past 8 hours, then 12 etc
this way, when i return to :butterfedyC: #fediverse after a break, i can quickly see the latest from everyone i follow, but as i post on :butterfedyA: fedi the interval time will shorten and i'll see things in a more compressed timeframe. The key is to get these intervals right.... maybe 1day.... POST.... 15hrs.... POST.... 9hr POST.... 5 POST.... 3hrs this seems like a good way to go.... after 4 posts the interval is down to 3hrs???
i dont believe likes should affect the intervalTime, boosts maybe can be taken as if the booster made that toot at that time, so if the post ur boosting is from 2 years ago, then it doesn't affect intervaltime.
do you like this idea? what to call this sort of timeline....? Rotary....? Rounded? Cyclic.......??? who knows but i def think i'd benefita lot from a timeline like this.

As the #Fediverse embarks upon a well-deserved round of holidays, our dev team are hard at work on the basic building blocks of Patchwork. Here's a round-up of what we've achieved and what we're working on - a Dashboard, a Posts plugin, a new domain for channels, and a spec for app-hooks. On track for release at #FediForum !

@newsmast@newsmast.social
This week we want to talk to you about Patchwork, an upcoming project, using technology we developed for Newsmast to make new and existing spaces on the social web more safe, more connected and more fun!
Here’s an update from our Foundation Ambassador @FreddieJ 👇
#SocialMedia #Fediverse #FediDev #FediAdmin #Technology #Tech
@JohnMFlores@kolektiva.social
Let's talk governance. On #Twitter and #Reddit, the communities we built were subject to the whims of ownership. As long as we had a benevolent dictator, were were cool. That's obviously changed for both of those sites in the past year, so many of us are here on #Mastodon and the #fediverse
The model is distributed (good) and open source (great) but as the community evolves, it faces growing pains and existential questions like, "What happens if Meta joins?"
Each instance is independent and can do what they wish (cool) but what if the mod(s) of your instance make a decision that does not align with your values? Switching instances can be done but it's a non-trivial task, and you are still subject to the policies enacted by the instance that you switch to. The admin that you _thought_ was cool may hold a viewpoint on an issue that you're not aligned with. You still are looking for a benevolent dictator.
We could of course, each launch our own instance that 100% reflects our values, but that flies in the face of community. My hope is that this is a place that doesn't agree 100% but does disagree thoughtfully and respectfully.
This is where governance comes in - are there any instances with a well defined organization and well-defined processes for how decisions get made? Are there any instances where policy decisions are made by a group (hopefully representative of the users) instead of a single/small group of admins that may or may not be in touch with what the members of that instance want? I'd be much more at ease with an instance like that.
I know that this sounds all corporate bullshit hierarchy and all, but maybe the Fediverse needs some of that in addition to the communal spirit that we have here. I'm kind of tired of benevolent dictators.
Thoughts?

First - on the #Fediverse everything is found by hashtags — & you can follow hashtags on most #fedi platforms! This adds messages coming into mstdn.ca with your chosen hashtags to your feed.
Second, I am in some of your streams - science/health/disability (partner is a public health scientist, so very adjacent.) #Knitting / #fibrearts / #tricot is a huge community, & there is a 'group' you can follow: @knitting
Happy to help find answers if you have questions!

Hier mal ein paar Tipps zu inklusivem Posten im #fediverse. Diese helfen euren blinden Followings, eure Inhalte noch besser zu verstehen.
1.Fügt euren Bildern und Videos #Bildbeschreibung hinzu, in der ihr euer Bild und ggf. Dessen übersetzte Bedeutung hinterlegt. Dafür habt ihr 1000 Zeichen zur Verfügung. Funktioniert in @Mastodon, @pixelfed (Inkl. Übernahme in Mastodon o.ä.) und anderen ActivityPub-Implementationen. Bei Pixelfed versteckt sich die Funktion derzeit noch hinter „Advanced“.

Thoughts on making a "Web of Data" instead of a "Web of Pages", and how that might let us take a step away from the dominance of large, complicated browsers.

Can someone who knows more about how Mastodon/the fediverse works help me understand something?
I've seen this happen with a few accounts now where I'd be trying to search for a post by its URL and it would not show up on some servers, but it would on others. I'd think these accounts might've been suspended, but the accounts themselves are found, and so are some of their older posts. I'd expect a suspended account not to show up at all, but maybe this is how it works?

From @ghost, which is implementing #ActivityPub and joining the #fediverse: "The way to truly understand ActivityPub is to examine the idea, not the technology. It's a way for people to interact without algorithms, independently, at scale. If that isn't something worth fighting for, I don't know what is."

Is there an emoji pack of ONLY fediverse icons and mascots?
@abelio@mastodon.social
Abelio supports couple of ways of posting your content. One of them is a block-style editor (something like on Medium) for those of you who needs to post articles in a convenient, non-markdown way.
@teledyn@mstdn.ca
#mobilizon is version 4.7.0, yet offers no facility to change the heavily branded homepage? The docs do say customization is not-yet-implemented, and to be fair, for the primary purpose (organizing activists?) cosmetics are unimportant. The docs say you can edit files directly, but no hints as to which files, and most are elixir and javascript…
But it otherwise looks like a potential #Fediverse escape route from Facebook Events and Group pages. Are there any other #ActivityPub kits like this?

Kurz vor dem großen Update für #Mastodon, das die fehlerhafte Preview korrigieren sollte nochmal ein Blick auf Trafficquellen für @heiseonline: Demnach hat #Mastodon #Twitter überholt, auch ohne einen Teil des Traffics aus dem #Fediverse. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass das automatische Posten auf #X Probleme macht (wenn es geht, ist X vorne).
#Flipboard und #Facebook wachsen leicht. #Bluesky unten konstant hinter #Threads, obwohl dort alle und bei letzterem nur wenige Links geteilt werden.

My mom expressed a potential interest in the Fediverse, and I'm looking for instance suggestions!
She's a lactation consultant, and going back to school for public health. She's also interested in social justice and neurodiversity. I'm thinking probably a mid to medium large instance, and a general purpose one might be good to start, but any suggestions would be welcome.

Last Week in #fediverse and #bluesky - ep 77
The news this week:
- Dutch government plans to expand their #Mastodon project
- Nomadic Identity (decoupling user identity from servers) over #activitypub comes to the fediverse
- @openvibe combines Mastodon, #nostr and now Bluesky into a single app and a single feed.

Hey the #Fediverse!
Today, I have released the version 0.1.0 of my new project, f2ap, an application that adds a compatibility layer for #ActivityPub to your website thanks to your #RSS/#Atom feed!
You can see a running example at @blog! 🤩
Currently, only the support for Mastodon is guaranteed, but there are a lot of other platforms out there. If you are on another social platform, please help me document the platforms support! 🙏

My instance is down I think.
I was feeling out some new servers. This one and retro.pizza. Maybe for migrating, maybe just for an alt. I'm thinking that having alts is just a basic necessity given the structure of the #Fediverse.
Anyway strangeobject.space was scheduled for down time. I guess it's going longer than expected. Tired of waiting. So! I'm here to reconnect and get (yet) another perspective on this place. Which is, so far, always refreshing. #boost #introduction

As a media organization that receives one third of its funding from the French government -- your taxes, if you're French -- you'd think AFP would embrace open networks like the #Fediverse to spread the news. Alas, they're only adding value to closed American platforms running on business models of #surveillance. Why?
@fromjason@mastodon.social
My last post about #Meta received some unexpected reactions. People are rightfully tired of what feels like inaction within the #Fediverse. Perhaps they're correct.
I wrote about something I call the "information loop", why I think it's broken, and how we might fix it. Spoiler: it takes all of us writing, sharing, and compiling.
I may have hard opinions, but I'm a softie for good faith objectors. Let's keep talking in #2024 #PostsFromJason #FediSeriesFJ

@fromjason@mastodon.social
The Medium is The Message is part one of a series (probably). In it, I argue that #Threads is not the assumed victory for the #fediverse it appears to be.
Longterm interpolation with Threads sends the wrong signal— not that Meta and Mastodon use #ActivityPub, a protocol the average user doesn’t understand, but that both share the same beliefs for the #openweb.

@fromjason@mastodon.social
For Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta ( #GAMM ), the old cloud sync-and-share business model wasn’t working anymore.
So what did they do?
They convinced us that our notetaking apps require an internet connection and forty thousand dollar GPUs located on a server three hundred miles away. That's the future they've made for us.

@louis@emacs.ch
It breaks my heart 💔 to see the way the Fediverse is discussing the issues arising from some FOSS projects like #Hyprland, #NixOS, and now the #Ladybird project. The divisiveness and lack of empathy in these discussions is truly sickening.
Our enemies are not individuals who spend their entire free time to contribute to FOSS and make mistakes along the way, but corporations and unhinged capitalism that take away our freedoms.
Let's resist the urge to condemn entire projects based on the actions or decisions of individual contributors. It's counterproductive. The beauty of this space is that we have the opportunity to engage in factual, nuanced, and compassionate discussions about these challenges. There's room for diverse perspectives and healthy debate here.
Isn't that what should set us apart from the toxicity and polarization found on platforms like X/Twitter? We're better than that.
The world is not binary. Just because someone isn't pro-something doesn't mean they're anti-something. And not being interested in a particular topic, how important it might be, doesn't make someone subject to be "purged". Life is complex and multifaceted, and we all have our own priorities and experiences that shape our views.
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7) This verse serves as a guiding principle for me, and I believe it should be a cornerstone of any progressive community.

Newsletter platform and Substack rival @ghost announced earlier this year that it would join the fediverse, and now it has made good on that promise by federating its first newsletter.
Writes @Sarahp
for @TechCrunch “By offering a federated version of the newsletter, readers will have more choices on how they want to subscribe. That is, instead of only being able to follow the newsletter via email or the web, they also can track it using RSS or ActivityPub-powered apps, like Mastodon and others.”

We've heard about these horrible right-wing conspiracy theorist extremists and their online "manifestos." How about a manifesto to make sense of everything, but with peace, care, and facts? How about a manifesto that tries to make sense of the current crises we are faced with, and suggests #RadicalMedia, even powered by the #Fediverse, to help change the world for the better? Here's my humble (if lengthy) attempt: https://www.mediaactivist.com/manifesto/

About 1y ago I decided to leave Xitter and focus my social media on the #fediverse.
Never ever would I have dreamed to meet so many nice people over here.
I think it is time for a 2nd #introduction:
Hi, I'm Ilu, a weird human being tooting mostly in English, but when it gets to German politics, day to day news or retweeting stuff you will notice German toots as well.
I collect old computers and I toot about my collection from time to time as well as nerd stuff related to that hobby...

I think the Fediverse needs easier ways for people to extend it, enhance it, and improve it.
You shouldn't have to write a whole front-end or a whole back-end to do that.

@benx@kolektiva.social
Made a web based protocol handler for a custom activitypub link URI scheme.
The aim of this is to demonstrate a method for allowing users to follow other people's accounts and interact with other people's posts in a much easier way.
Installing the handler allows you to open up special links anywhere on the internet that will load other people's posts and profile directly into your own instance's web client automatically (no more copy and paste).
Looking for folks to test it out and send feedback.

Two big pieces of news in Ghost's progress on ActivtyPub integration:
1. You can now follow their newsletter from the Fediverse at this address: @index
2. They've open sourced their ActivityPub work!

Hallo #Fediverse!
Wer hat Lust, das Fediverse bekannter zu machen?
Wie das geht? Ganz einfach:
Gebe bei der Wahl zum Jungendwort des Jahres "Kanister mit Puls" an.
https://www.langenscheidt.com/jugendwort-des-jahres
Wichtig: Auswählen, dass ihr nicht älter als 20 seid.
Warum hilft das?
Über das Jungendwort wird immer viel berichtet. Wenn ein Begriff durch das Fediverse gepusht wird, wird man sich fragen müssen, wo der Ursprung liegt.
@rolle@mementomori.social
I would like to know how many users there are in the Fediverse from a certain country. To get this information an app is needed, maybe an interface for it later.
Trying to figure out how to code a daemon that would poll the streaming API and fetch the username and language; If new user found with post language set, save to database. Hmm.

Somebody recently used the term "permissionless" to describe the innovation that is possible in the open social network called the #Fediverse. (I forgot who, sadly.)
That term might be borrowed from the crypto crowd, but it appears applicable.
Any thoughts on adopting this term for the Fediverse, too? I'd like to, I think it's apt.

👋 Hello #fediverse ! Abelio is a new work-in-progress federated media publishing platform aiming to become a #tumblr and #photoblog alternative for #artists and any sort of #creators (#writers included).

I post in both in English and in Finnish. On commercial algorithm-driven social media services I feel like because I’m a Finn my international posts won’t be seen or shown interest in anywhere.
However, on algorithm-free Fediverse it’s on the contrary, like-minded people from all over the world interact with the post. It’s unsurprising but still so very strange.

#Mastodon "pushed out a small change that might, in the medium term, prove important [for #news & #journalism]: clickable author bylines.
Yup, no matter who shared the link, there's a little button that allows you to follow the jorunalist's #fediverse account. Here's how they explain it:
'To reinforce and encourage Mastodon as the go-to place for journalism, we’re launching a new feature today'."

I'm a game release specialist working on the Anvil Pipeline at Ubisoft Montreal. I've been working in #gamedev since 2005 on consoles/PC and mobile platforms. I've been a gamer and playing #videogames my entire life and actually doing a lot of #retrogaming and #emulation. Very interested in #gamepreservation and #arcade games and arcade culture. Just started learning some #nesdev as well recently.
Other things I'm interested in include #hockey, #football, #wrestling, #ProWrestling, #linux, #FreeBSD, #OpenSource, #StreetFighter. Big Montreal Canadiens fan #GoHabsGo, New York Giants fan #GoGiants, #AEW wrestling.
I've also recently became interested in #WeightLoss as I've lost 250 pounds in the last year. Feel free to poke me if you're interested in how I've done it or want to know about #BariatricSurgery. I've added a link to my bio to the documentation I received when I had the surgery so that you can get an idea of what to expect: https://cloud.zerojay.com/s/BariatricSurgery
I'm also really interested in everything having to do with the #fediverse.

Given there is a single-site multi-user app based on #activitypub (single domain blogging platform with multiple users posting) - should an Application type represent entire site and Person types posting to it? Or Group type instead of Application? Or entire site should be one single Person type? What's your take on that? #needhelp #development #fediverse

A feature set like this will never be available in anywhere else than the Fediverse. Mark my words.

Right now the #Fediverse is in Field of Dreams mode: "If we build it, they will come."
It’s a lovely sentiment, but we're up against the hard reality of network effects. How to onboard people, engage and keep them? One word: Storytelling.
That's the real secret of Field of Dreams. It's not about a baseball pitch. It's about a story.
To reach the full potential of the Fediverse we need storytelling to become as important as technology.
@limebar@mastodon.social
Basquiat famously said that "music is how we decorate time.”
I have made a habit of listening to @radiofreefedi while scrolling the #fediverse. I am finding that this "soundtrack" really helps to give this place a distinctive sense of "place".
After listening over a period of time, I have developed a collection of "old favorites". But #radioFreeFedi also adds new music all of the time. As a result, the "time decor" around here feels familiar AND fresh at once.

The latest beta of the Relatica mobile and desktop Friendica client (v0.11.0) has just been released. This has some big updates including: better support for Bluesky and Threads content, the ability to limit yourself from sharing/commenting on/liking content from specific networks (like Threads, Diaspora, etc.), spellcheck on mobile platforms, showing network data for all posts/comments and federation delivery status for your posts/comments, and lots of other bugfixes and smaller features. It is in review in the Apple Testflight for iOS and macOS as well as in the Google Play beta system. Downloads for Android, Linux, and Windows are on the install page of the main project. See the CHANGELOG on the project page for more information about this release too. #relatica #friendica #fediverse

Adam Mosseri is tamping down #fediverse expectations for Threads. As a UK user, I've certainly noticed that things haven't happened very fast! But I also sense frustration on their part re European rules especially -> "The fediverse is a long-term bet. It isn't driving a lot of Threads growth. It is proving very difficult just to do the basics, particularly from a compliance and a privacy perspective. The standards we're held to are just different, based on our scale." https://www.platformer.news/threads-175-million-users-adam-mosseri-interview/

Question to #Fediverse #dev friends: In recent years, many developers seem to find #Sentry necessary - a heavyweight both in terms of resource usage and data processed.
Within days, up to hundreds of GBs of data accumulate, contrasting their CMSes that are small, fast, and efficient, only a few GBs in size.
The question is: Do you think it's truly beneficial, or is it one of those things everyone does just because "everyone else does"?

Are fond of the #fediverse …
How do you feel about the fact that the fediverse can and is being scraped (try searching Google)?
It’s in the nature of the technology (right?) which is arguably only a minor step toward decentralised internet participation.

Like the desktop computing experience. That’s what #socialmedia should aim for.
Choice of platform/OS doesn’t matter too much.
Plenty of apps to choose from and mix and match.
Plenty of user control but also convenience.
General functions and paradigms have settled.
Data is transferable over time and between computers.
Pick performance specs for your needs.
Connect to whichever networks/protocols you like, or just work offline mostly.
Your computer belongs to you.

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb
The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around
@donncha@mastodon.ie
View at Home 0.1
View at Home is a simple Tampermonkey script to make interacting with Mastodon (and probably other Fediverse services) easier. When you open a Mastodon post, it’s not possible to comment or favourite it unless it’s on your own home instance. The usual way of dealing with this is by copying the link into the search box of your own instance and clicking the resulting link.

A 9.7% user retention rate is concerning.
I also suspect that the MAU numbers might be artificially high, as they may not differentiate between real users and bots.

ICYMI: Last week saw a new episode of Dot Social, the fediverse podcast hosted by Flipboard CEO
@mike, in which he interviewed @ghost's @johnonolan. Here's a taste of their conversation; you can listen to the whole episode here or wherever you get your podcasts:
https://flipboard.video/w/sQCNmXx332xi3Y3dVVjd37.
“We’re at a very grassroots stage of a mix of hackers and enthusiasts collaborating to make the thing they want, not the thing that has the most funding, and I love that. That speaks to my heart.”

I'm still finding verified #accounts from #news sites and #media organizations on #Mastodon for my list:
Now it contains more than 270 accounts in 16 languages. #German is still far in front, but #english is growing fast. And there are accounts in #italian, #spanish, #swedish, #dutch, #french, #catalan, #basque, #welsh, #turkish, #slovakian, #portuguese, #finnish, #danish & #czech.
The majority is very active.
Have a look:

Darauf habe ich lange gewartet 😉 :
Auf die Artikel von heise online der vergangenen Woche kamen jeden Tag mehr Zugriffe über #Mastodon als über #X bzw. #Twitter!
Da sind ein paar Effekte drin (das nochmalige Teilen am Wochenende bringt erneut Zugriffe, am Freitag ging der Twitter-Bot nicht), aber die Tendenz ist deutlich: Während Mastodon/ das #Fediverse stabil bleiben, geht es bei X abwärts.

I have been thinking about the discussion so much that last night I dreamt of @liaizon telling the story of how they built their whole self hosted #ActivityPub instance in one single #PHP file.
This is not true and I have no idea how my unconscious could have conceived this ahahah

Welcome to @Mastodon and the #fediverse! Are you aware of the rights you should have over software?
You should be allowed to:
• Use a program for any purpose - without any restrictions on place and time 🌍
• Understand the full code – and know exactly what it does 🔍
• Share and copy the program – developers can collaborate and share publicly their improvements 🎁
• Improve the code – e.g. for personal or local needs 📝 (1/4)
@XLCChelt@mastodonapp.uk
As it's my birthday (38) and I didn't do an #introduction when I came to the #Fediverse during the Big Bird Exodus, I guess I'll do one today.
So yeah, hey everyone, I'm Paul. I'm an ex-'liberal', but after working out the world, realised I'm a Leftist.
I mostly toot about LGBTQ+ issues, social (in)justice, climate change and weather, capitalism, and the Right's discourse against minority groups.
I'm anti-capitalism, anti-status quo, and anti police and military.
Thanks for reading! Peace.

Yup. I did it. Inspired by Kevin Rose's big engagement bait post on Threads, me and my big mouth said "if I get 200 likes yada yada, poof Twitter account". And y'all in the #fediverse ended up doing over 350. ;)
In all seriousness though, I was already considering doing this. Feels like a bit of a cleansing.
BTW, one cannot "delete" a Twitter account. One can only deactivate it. Then you have to wait 30 days for it to be fully, completely deleted. I've got a calendar mark set for my own 30 days, to follow through on that.

I wish #Mastodon supported the kinds of "starter packs" just launched by #Bluesky. They're a great way to invite people to join a new platform and quickly find people and organizations that meet their interests.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2024-starter-packs
I'm committed to Mastodon, but I'm on Bluesky to explore and experiment. While I like these starter packs, I won't be using them. I want to invite new people (working on my topics) to join Mastodon, not Bluesky.

@stefano@bsd.cafe
Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, good morning and happy Sunday!
I've made some changes to our setup. Last week, there were some slowdowns in the services at BSD Cafe, especially in the #Mastodon instance. After investigating, I discovered that the issue was with the DNS resolution (it was the DNS! 😆 ).
I’ve now installed two jails with unbound on the two BSD Cafe VPSs. This allows us to perform all DNS resolutions locally with caching, so we don’t have to rely on external services.
This way, services like Mastodon or Matrix, which make extensive use of name resolution, can benefit from local caching and resolve domains autonomously.
@stefano@bsd.cafe
It's time for an #introduction.
I'm glad to meet you! I'm the main administrator of the bsd.cafe instance (and other projects), a computer science enthusiast who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.
I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.
Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse
@stefano@bsd.cafe
🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟
Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.
BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.
The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.
The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.
Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.
Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.
The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.
Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.
Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.
A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
some of you have expressed the desire to offer a bit of support to BSD Cafe.
In response, I've set up a Ko-fi page and a LiberaPay account for the project.
You can now buy a coffee for BSD Cafe at this link: https://ko-fi.com/bsdcafe or https://liberapay.com/bsdcafe

15 million users in the Fediverse, now.
No ad-blocker needed.
Zero ads.
My data stays on my server.
Interactions are genuine, driven by people's desire, not an algorithm pushing for conflict to boost engagement (and ad sales).
Nobody's here just because it's trendy. If you're here, you want to be here.
The best social media experience I've had in years.
Thank you to all of you, among these 15 million accounts, who have helped make this a wonderful place to be.

@josemurilo Fortunately, the #Fediverse wasn't built by Mastodon and is not Mastodon! And the owner of mastodondotsocial is not the owner of any of the protocols the network relies on! That's the beauty of the Fediverse: it belongs to everybody!

Brazilian #Museums Rock the #Fediverse: by stitching two #WordPressPlugins, #Tainacan & #ActivityPub, #Brasiliana has managed to provide a framework for "digitally sharing #museum cultural heritage collections with indigenous communities."

In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.
"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."

Anfangs waren hier im #Fediverse nur wenige Accounts aktiv, die etwas zur #CMHH gepostet haben. Unsere Followeranzahl war klein.

If you enjoy long-form content and the ramblings of an #ADHD #stoner that's in love with #AIart and #Videogames, you can #follow my blog @BeAware@blog.beaware.live
Thanks to all the wonderful people who already follow me here on #Mastodon and interact with my content. I hope to bring some unorganized, not very thought out content to the #Fediverse very soon!

Threads implements #Misskey's `_misskey_quote` standard and gives them a shutout in the Facebook Engineering blog and then *blocks them* for "No publicly accessible feed" which is a completely baseless reason for blocking a server.
"We chose _misskey_quote because its naming makes it clear that it’s not an official ActivityPub method, and because we know that it’s supported by Misskey, Firefish, and potentially other servers that use quote posts." https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse #fediverse #threads

Its title is Knitting Our Internet, and it is quite messy and ugly, but I consider it the essence of what I have been studying/working on for the past couple of years.
I am very grateful to @zelf, who hosted the zine making workshop at #p4p, stimulating me to create this.
I am thinking non-stop about next steps. For sure I will be creating a website for the homonymous workshop I have been hosting in many different occasions.
Then maybe a little story/novel about the history of the #Internet and the current #DWeb, #hacking, #FreeSoftware movements?

Threads released a public list of blocked instances:
👉🏾 https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
Many #Mastodon & #Misskey instances are mistakenly blocked for not having a publicly accessible feed.
I wanted to appeal on their behalf, but #Threads requires admins to appeal.

@sesivany Why I think that the #fediverse should be a collection of many, many "not many users" instances with a close connection between users and admins instead of an oligopoly of a few big instances with glorified admins that operate in the dark, reason #4711 ;)
@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net
#Decentralisation does NOT mean the whole #Fediverse should block #threads. Decentralisation means that every instance (and user) decides for themselves with whom to exchange communication. While this might look like chaos and a non-deterministic way of sharing information, it reflects the true nature of decentralisation. If you think it should be a binary decision of The Fediverse to not talk to Threads, you are still in the centralised mindset ...

This is actually some big news: a lot of folks originally joined the Tweeter because of #Diggnation and #TWiT hyping up Twitter in its earliest days. I know I joined because of them (esp. Leo talking about it all the time)
Well Kevin Rose, founder of #Digg, said if he got 1,000 likes to a post he made on Threads, he'd delete his Tweeter account.
He got them, and he did.
Makes me think - if I get 200 likes here in the #fediverse on this post, pointing out Kevin's post, I'll delete CoffeeGeek's Tweeter account too. (I promise, this isn't likebait lol!)

I love when Fediverse scrapers get Fediblocked MULTIPLE times then start making new instances under obscure domain names to hide their data stealing...🤬
Awakari created a new instance on Indy.rest on June 24. 4 days after I called for Fediblock on their other attempt at ban evasion (awakari.app)
Indy.rest seems to be down at the moment. However, given their track record, this is a required block if you value your data not being sold.

⚠️Warning to all Fediverse Admins: the data scraper @Awakari@activitypub.awakari.app is back!🤬
Not sure how many times we have to teach them this lesson!!
I am once again calling for #Fediblock for this data scraper. This is the 4TH TIME they've created a new instance because of our blocks.
So I am making this the 4th time they'll be blocked. Don't let folks sell your data without consent!!! Block them ASAP!
Urgent Edit: They are now using fake names that don't include Awakari but the profile is the exact same. The new domain is Indy.rest and the profile is @indy.rest@indy.rest 😒🤬

Posts made with the Threads API don’t federate. I’m a little surprised by this. One of the replies is from a threads engineer so I assume it’s true.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
It's kinda gross to see these corporate walled gardens intentionally misrepresent their Fedi integrations and just start using Fediverse in their PRs like their a genuine Fedi participant.
Looking at you, BlueSky and Threads. BlueSky lied about being decentralized and uses Brdigy Fed, a third party bridge to Fedi made by one man, to say they're decentralized. Threads keeps adding fake Fediverse interactions and promoting them as legit Fediverse interactions. They "added" replies from Fediverse without mentioning that they're private and can only mention 1 person or it won't be federated...🤦♂️
If you intentionally misrepresent your integrations for clout, you're doing nothing but harboring mistrust here on Fedi.

@SDF I’ve been geoblocked from trying this so far no direct experience. But Threads has reciprocal problems to mastodon. Too many voices all yelling into the void. Deaf to conversation.
Here it’s too few voices to build any larger conversation. You can work hard on some fun and it goes out to the desert and dies. Symptoms include seeing 11 posts in a row from one user today!
I’m not exactly sure what would happen. But if the bridge was optional I would turn it on to find out. #fediverse

@jan I think, funnily enough, that this is Facebook following ActivityPub more closely than Mastodon - specifically the parts around Inbox Forwarding, which Mastodon doesn't do.
It's the reason people invent things like #FediFetcher
@nityan@infosec.exchange
I think we need to stop looking at the various software in the Fediverse as systems, rather Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla... should eventually be seen as access points to the Fediverse built around a protocol. #fediverse
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
As with most things, my opinion of Threads integration to the Fediverse is very nuanced.
On one hand, I enjoy the idea of being able to engage and interact with the wider social web. On the other hand, the sheer amount of Threads users makes me worry that Fediverse will soon be just like corporate social media sites.
I don't want to be lost in the mix of millions of posts, with hardly any engagement.
Also, Mastodon will be adding "limit replies" soon enough and that's bad for a number of reasons, the biggest being misinformation...😬
I am still VERY cautiously optimistic. However, if I start noticing my engagement fall off a cliff, I'll be immensely sad.😔
@shellsharks@shellsharks.social
I know #threads is a polarizing subject here on Fedi but news is news…
Threads has enabled #Fediverse-bourne replies. i.e. you can now reply to federated Threads posts and those replies show up actually on Threads.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/25/24185226/meta-threads-fediverse-likes-replies
Kinda neat to see my Fedi profile show up natively on that platform. It even creates a clickable handle on the reply post that links to my Masto profile.
You can see my reply post (and the Threads-bourne post I replied to) here https://shellsharks.social/@shellsharks/112678293741616415
@Linux@kitty.social
The 1 thing unusual about the Fediverse is it has both mute and block. Blocking just means, they can no longer tag your or replying to you. Muting means you never see their comments.
In my opinion it is best to do both.

Over the last few months I've slowly been gravitating to the #Fediverse from #Xitter. The more time I spend here, the more I notice and appreciate the spontaneity and incredible variety of the people who frequent this slice of online. And when I log on to X all I see is a lot of nasty politics, hate and fear. So glad this space is around! May it grow from strength to strength.

This thread (on threadiverse) reminiscing about 2000s era internet made me think:
A paradox with the current #fediverse:
it's driven, partly, by nostalgia and longing for the "early internet".
And yet, is built in imitation of modern big-social.
I was struck by the thought "does the fedi capture any of these structures, feelings and vibes?"
I don't think so, at all.
The fedi is balkanised big-social, not new-old-internet, and you can feel it, there's unmet longing.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live
New to Mastodon and confused about why you don't see anything on your home feed and nobody interacts with your posts?
1. Follow people. Fedi has no algorithm beyond the "explore" tab. It works completely by follow relationships. The more people you follow with similar interests, the more likely they'll follow you back. Not to mention your home feed will be filled by their toots.
2. Hashtags. Full indexed search is EXTREMELY new and some instances haven't upgraded yet. Even then, some users don't want EVERY toot of theirs to be discoverable so they turn that feature off. However, Hashtags are always searchable for public toots. Litter your posts with relevant hashtags so people can find your toots!

“Growth” as a concept does not have to be viewed solely through the lens of Silicon Valley, venture capital firms, or capitalism in general. In the context of the network: some people here, myself included, want to see the network develop along enough to sufficiently challenge the status quo, and dethrone mainstream social networks.
For the #Fediverse to thrive, we inevitably have to bring in more people, new communities, and new ways of doing things. We need to build towards better concepts for user agency, privacy, and control. We need to also embrace the fun stuff that brought us here in the first place.

Ghost has some exciting news in their latest #ActivityPub progress update:
"The other thing we're now working full-speed towards is open sourcing the new ActivityPub Service GitHub repository. That means the code will be available for anyone and everyone to see, use, follow-along-with, or contribute-to."
This is dope! Looking forward to tracking the development live 👀

Hey friends, from July 1st I'll be available for freelance work again (primarily on a part-time basis so I can also work on my NLNet grant + open source)
I'd prefer to work on something #Fediverse related, and usually work with Node.js and Ruby.
emelia@brandedcode.com if you'd like to hire me.
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online
I'm hoping that my latest project, #FediverseExplorations, will inspire people to ask questions about how the fediverse works, and what is possible.
@auschwitzmuseum@mastodon.world
We are very close to reaching 100k followers on @Mastodon.
Can you help us get there?
@MrBerard@pilote.me
Hey Mastodon,
I'm looking for a well put together written case for institutions (academic, professional) to set up their own Mastodon instance.
Something that not only highlights the obvious benefits, but also that the technical costs are within the capacity of most places that have a decent IT department.
Please do not make the case here, I'm looking for links. 😜
Boost for visibility, plz?

Threads API is the big news of the week. Credit to the Threads team for pulling it off.
But what if Mastodon's fedi:creator footnote tells a bigger story? While the Threads API takes us down a well worn path, re-centring the #Fediverse on blogs, podcasts, forums and curation takes us somewhere new. See you there! We can meet around @johnonolan 's campfire.

🚨 INTRODUCING: a new in-progress #rubyonrails #activitypub engine that aims to make it able to add AP features to any Rails app.
It's still a work in progress but i would really love to hear your feedback and ideas on that! Feel free to message me here or open a discussion on github repo.
See README for more details:

PS: A new kind of AP service/app will be based on this, more info soon :)

I'd like to see the fediverse celebrate this year's #juneteenth by lifting up Black voices, and making Black people feel more welcome here.
To people who feel really strongly about quote boosts, putting content warnings on people's lived experience, and denying all the evidence of racism being prevalent here, maybe take a break for just one day.

Don't post anything as publicly marked on the Fediverse if you don't want Reactions created by it in the first place.
Seems obvious but occasionally I get the feeling that some People don't understand that Concept.

As part of our mission to bring more high-quality journalism to the fediverse, we’re federating today the profiles of nine U.S. media sites, bringing their content to Mastodon and other platforms. We think this is especially important now as the world faces serious crises like Ukraine, Gaza and climate change — not to mention pivotal elections coming up this year in several countries.
We’re delighted to welcome this next wave of trusted publishers:
Bloomberg: @bloomberg
Bloomberg Law: @BloombergLaw
Bloomberg CityLab: @citylab
The Kyiv Independent: @KyivIndependent
Politico: @politico
Quartz: @quartz
Salon: @Salon

ANN: FediTest 0.2 is out. This is our first release, even if early as you can tell from the version number.
feditest is now in the python repos, so you can say "pip install feditest", and the documentation is current on https://feditest.org
You can currently use it to run your own WebFinger server tests similar to https://feditest.org/assets/2024-06-05/webfinger-server-all-wellknown-saas-imp.testmatrix.html Obviously much more to come.
Feedback appreciated!

Patches open the door to the space. Hubs populate it. Channels deliver content in refreshing ways. And Hooks give any app access to this space. Follow the blog to see how the #buildinpublic goes.

Discovered this morning that Maven https://heymaven.com (a social media startup who's CEO is ex OpenAI "Ken Stanley: leading the Open-Endedness Team at OpenAI") is mass importing public posts from the #fediverse with no links back to the original and no way to delete them. It seems there is no Opt-out or Opt-in mechanism at all. It also has posts from #Bluesky pulled in via @bsky.brid.gy that are also not linked back to the original.
Here's an example: https://app.heymaven.com/profile/66927
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online
Heads-up: The CTO of an "AI-powered social network" startup Maven, Jimmy Secretan, confirming that his app has "ingested about 1,120,000 posts from Mastodon".

Should #Shadertoy have #ActivityPub / #Fediverse support? 🤔
I have an account there, containing a dodgy old raytracing experiment. But I like looking at other people's stuff.
The site already has profiles, posts, likes, follow mechanics.
It's fun to think about how one would federate Shadertoy posts. HTML iframe with a fallback animated GIF somehow?
The site lets high-tier Patreon supporters make feature suggestions. Any Shadertoy enthusiasts interested in asking?

I've found an excellent podcast series about how online companies use your data. The second episode of the new season is all about how social media giants gather data to keep you engaged, enraged and staying in their apps looking at ads.
It's presented in a pleasantly approachable way. The fediverse is mentioned (Flipboard), along with a new platform I haven't heard of, Small Town and the idea of the Pluriverse.

Post.news closes down tomorrow. What can we learn from it?
Monetizing posts, with profits going to the author, is difficult but possible without relying on crypto. Kudos for the attempt!
Focusing on one aspect - news - diminishes your user base to a specific interest group.
And, being a closed instance without an API or federation to other platforms made survival difficult.

The two main developers use a picture of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro as their profile pictures. (Dessalines also uses a picture of Mao Zedong as banner for his Lemmy profile)
join-lemmy.org lists lemmygrad.ml, which is a tankie instance.
u/parentis_shotgun, one of the developers of Lemmy, is/was active on r/communism and r/DebateCommunism on Reddit, which are tankie subreddits.
dessalines, who is the same person as u/parentis_shotgun, has a repository on GitHub called "essays", which contains a bunch of tankie shit: Soviet Union, China, etc apologia and other ahistorical bullshit.

📢💰We will run an experiment of drastically reducing the price of our monthly subscription from $4.99/m down to a mere $1.99/m. That's a 60% price reduction! Of course, the 30-day free trial remains, too.
To make the lower price stick, we'd need to get as many people to try Murmel as we possibly can.
Please, help us spread the word throughout the #fediverse. We'd love to get a boost from you. Please, smash that 🔁 button! 🚀🙏

🚨 BOOST CHALLENGE! 🚨Ok #Fediverse and #Mastodon. If I tell my Canadian Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, that he will get 2000 followers within one week of creating a Mastodon account, will you make that happen?
I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the #e4769 petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!
Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏

I'm kind of obsessed with the #fediverse
I've been working on @pixelfed almost every day since April 2018
I've learned a lot, and am still as dedicated to, and excited for the fediverse as I was when I first started Pixelfed
I know I've made some mistakes along the way, but y'all have been quick to point em out and help me grow and fix issues accordingly
This really is a labour of love, for the people.
Y'all keep me energized with your feedback and positive vibes. I really appreciate it. ❤️
@FlipboardDE@flipboard.social
Wir haben von einigen aus der Community das Feedback erhalten, die Artikelanzahl sei für einige föderierte Publisher sehr hoch. Daher möchten wir einen Überblick dazu geben:
Die Anzahl der Beiträge bezieht sich auf die Gesamtbeiträge bei Flipboard und damit i.d.R. auf einen Zeitraum von mehreren Jahren.
Folgendes ist aus unserer Sicht die beste Möglichkeit, sich auf dem Laufenden zu halten und dabei spezifischen Content eines bevorzugten Publishers zu bekommen: den Flipboard-Magazinen zu folgen, um kuratierte Artikel zu bestimmten Themen zu erhalten.
Was bedeutet das konkret? Wenn du dich für Wirtschaftsnachrichten oder Klimapolitik interessierst, kannst du den Magazinen eines Publishers ausschließlich zu diesen Themen folgen, oder wenn du alle Inhalte sehen willst, kannst du dem Profil des Publishers folgen – so hast du mehr Möglichkeiten, die Art der Inhalte, die du in deinem Home-Feed siehst, anzupassen.
Das föderierte Profil eines Publishers ist nur eine weitere Möglichkeit, seinen Inhalten zu folgen und mit ihnen zu interagieren.
So folgst du einzelnen Magazinen über Mastodon:
1) Verwende die Suche, um nach den Magazinen eines Publishers zu suchen (Die Liste an bisher föderierten Publisher haben wir in unserem Profil angeheftet).
2) Wähle "Alle ansehen" bei den Suchergebnissen aus.
3) Folge nun den thematischen Magazinen, die dich interessieren. Wir haben hierzu einen Screenshot von ZEIT ONLINE als Beispiel hinzugefügt.
🇳🇱@freemo@qoto.org
**I want to apologize to the whole #fediverse community, sincerely, for my recent behaviors over the last 4 months.**
If i have been rude or even short tempered with any of you my apologies you likely did not deserve it. Read on if you'd like to know the story and you can decide if I should be forgiven or not.
I know several months ago I made a similar apology, and this may fall on deaf ears, but I hope some of you will hear me out.
First off my last apology came at the face of an Israeli mob death threat on both me and my family. That added a lot of stress at the time and certainly led to me being a bit rude with some people, not an excuse but I do want to rehash it a bit for context. Many of you have noticed since then I do not go out without an open-carry weapon on my hip, this is why.
That said that is not the source of this apology but it is loose related.
I have been dealing with some health issues that, while not life threatening they have severely limited me in some ways. Specifically a very severe sleep disorder. The sleep disorder, and a brain fog that made it very hard for me to think and function normally. In and of itself these werent the root cause, there were underlying issues. But my attempt to treat the symptoms (since the underlying causes we unknown) actually led to a worsening of symptoms long term despite providing some help in the short term. I will explain.
Most of my life I had ADHD as a diagnosis, but it had never been a hindrance to me, in fact I saw it as something that improved my intellectual abilities overall. However this diagnosis allowed me to receive an adderall prescription to try to address the sleep disorder and brain fog, not to treat the ADHD directly, which I have been on for about the last 4 months. It was a low dose (20mg once a day in the morning to wake up). At first it addressed my symptoms with amazing results, but over time it led to a cure to my sleep issue but the brain fog got much much worse. In addition to that my irritability when interacting with people was worse and I have been quite dis-tempered with some of you, and I am deeply sorry for that if this describes you. It certainly continued to cure the sleep issue however and since normal sleep is needed for me to do my work i felt i needed to continue.
Recently however I decided to take matters into my own hands and stop relying on doctors. Instead I got labs through shady means to test for things doctors were dismissive of and wouldnt in the past let me get authorization to have tested. Namely my testosterone levels, thyroid hormone levels, and various blood sugar indicators. These tests revealed three underlying issues: 1) A severely low T-level (so low the tests couldn't even register trace amounts) 2) An extremely high Thyroid-stimulating hormone, 3x above the maximum normal range 3) metabolic disorder causing blood sugar and insulin irregularities (which likewise led to extreme runaway hunger).
At this point I found a doctor who was finally willing to listen to me, armed with a mountain of ill gotten blood tests and managed to convince her to test me properly for verification and finally treat my underlying diseases.
As of about a week ago I started treatment for my underlying diseases, needing to take injections of about 3 drugs, soon to be 4. Knowing that the root cause could finally be addressed I figured around the same time last week I could quit both the adderall and the sleeping medication entirely. Now that the underlying treatments are starting to work, and the old treatments out of my system I feel the best I've felt in years. I already lost 16 lbs, my brain fog has mostly evaporated, and while my sleep is still recovering it was quite improved last night... So while i have a ways to go to be 100% I am already back to my old self, how I used to be before the brain fog began. and certainly doing better than I was doing even 6 months ago.
I will do my best, going forward to treat you all with the respect and due consideration you deserve. Again my apologies.

An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads

Why do you care about the #fediverse #SocialWeb? I want to talk about that in one of the #fediforum sessions tomorrow.
For me, it's #DemocracyOfReach. Adding an attention layer to the open web, so that now we can not only post anything to the world, but it can earn eyeballs. That we all decide what info, ideas and art should go viral, not money. It's so huge and only possible here. I fear that the failure to see this potential, or the pursuit of other goals, will impede us from getting there.

@rolle@mementomori.social
My experience so far with microblogging services:
Threads: I'm in a wrong party and don't know what to say. I feel awkward, everyone is so happy with their gym selfies. Everyone asking endless questions and asking things from the algorithm. Lots of people use it like Instagram, every post is a selfie with a meaningless caption. Some are copy-pasting the same sentence over and over again for each line. Endless quote-post memes... What the fuck is this shit I don't even...
Bluesky: A Twitter clone, but still very barebones. Notifications are still not working, there are no hashtags and I don't find any relevant content to me in any of the feeds. It's mostly Facebook-like what's up in life, furry scene and AI photos. No news, no tech/web scene, no nothing. Not to mention it's still invite-only and won't support ActivityPub (yeah I know the reasoning behind that but for me it's mostly bullshit, I look forward to trying bridgy fed).
Mastodon and the Fediverse: Here I'm at home on my own server. Most content, most features. A community is friendly but has also lots of nitpicking, some angry dudes. Still the most safest, most healthy and most customized, but somehow the most hated network elsewhere. "Too techie", they say. "Too difficult", they say. "No algorithm", they say.
Nostr: Kinda promising, but way too obscure, strange and even techier than Mastodon. Too much crypto shit.
Well, that's that. Sometimes I feel like Internet is ruined. But I believe in the open social web movement and I want to see this grow.
In no other place I can write a status update as freely as this, as long as this or with a low bar as this. I LIKE this 100%. The same can't be said in those other places I'm experimenting with out of curiosity. There I'm the weird kid. Here I feel like myself.

May as well move my #introduction here
Hi I'm Vasilis! I like to call myself a self-learning programmer and sysadmin, I also am an inspiring #furry and #PokeFur artist. While I pretty much never used Twitter either I will try to use the #fediverse more, matrix is pretty cool even though it still needs improvements imo. As for stuff I develop I currently like game development, especificly working on @spacestation14. An open-source multiplayer game based on Space Station 13. I however have made other projects such as discord bots even though I never had a chance to publish those.
It is probably already obvious I'm a furry. I like pretending to be a Pikachu or Avali on the internet.
I'm not sure what else to add here. I guess I'm glad to be part of the fediverse at last.
@rl_dane@alpha.polymaths.social
I'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as #Mastodon is in fact the #Fediverse.
Mastodon is not a network unto itself, but rather another open component of a fully functioning network made useful by #ActivityPub.
Every Mastodon user is in fact a user of the fediverse without realizing it.
There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the greater whole. Mastodon is one example of a service using the AcivityPub spec, and is an essential part of the Fediverse, but of limited utility by itself; it is best understood and functions at its greatest when used in combination with other Fediverse services.

There are a lot of different types in the ActivityStreams Vocabulary.
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/
But because Mastodon only supports 8 of them (with only 2 of them being supported properly), there is "pressure" on other Fediverse software to restrict themselves to these 8.
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#payloads
Because they want to be compatible with Mastodon.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

After a few discussions today, I wrote a guide to the #Fediverse and #Mastodon tailored to the #UmbracoCommunity, please share with those not already here!
@reiver@mastodon.social
For Fediverse software —
In some ways, you could think about Fediverse front-ends and Fediverse back-ends separately.
This is easiest to see if you consider web front-ends versus mobile front-ends.
But you also see this with front-ends within the same class.
For example — Elk is an alternative web front-end to Mastodon's web front-end.
...
If there was a defacto common API for the front-ends to use — you could swap back-ends based on your needs.
Mastodon API may become that.

PSA for #Peertube instance owners:
Block/ignore the peertube.se instance immediately. This is run by and used by Nordfront, the media division of the Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen organization for spreading Nazi propaganda.
Of course, this being the #Fediverse, make sure to block it on all platforms, such as #Mastodon.
It's the first match on Google if you're located in Sweden, which is problematic.
Please boost for exposure.

Queen of the Skies, Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926), was the first female of African and Cherokee descent to become a pilot in the U.S. She made up her mind one day to try. She tried and she succeeded.

So, I discovered that it's customary to give an #introduction on #mastodon so here I am.
I'm @shalien , a computer enthusiast as #dev as #network .
Disappointed with Twitter / X , I resurrected my #mastodon instance and here I am.
I hope to discover something else, something healthier and more relaxing than the permanent chaos of Twitter.
Looking forward to seeing you in the #Fediverse!

Alors, j'ai découvert qu'il ai de coutume de donner une #introduction sur #mastodon donc me voilà.
Moi c'est @shalien , passionné d'informatique aussi #dev que #reseau .
Déçu de Twitter / X , j'ai ressusciter mon instance #mastodon et me voilà.
J'espère découvrir autre chose, quelque de plus sain, de plus reposant que le chaos permanent de Twitter .
Au plaisir de vous croiser dans le #Fediverse !

Nach neun Monaten bin ich nicht mehr wirklich #neuhier, habe aber damals irgendwie meine Vorstellungsrunde verpasst. 😉
Ich liebe #Livemusik und #Konzerte, schreibe darüber im @gigblog und veranstalte manchmal selber welche im @indiewohnzimmer in #Stuttgart. #Radfahren und #Bahnfahren, #Architektur, #Kunst und #Literatur sind auch meine Themen, ebenso die #Verkehrswende.

Tekst powstał bardzo spontanicznie, poza "harmonogramem" i wynika z... irytacji. Ilekroć widzę "nie wiem, co się tutaj robi, lol, ale to głupie", to miałem ochotę nagrać film, ale skończyło się na tekście.
Może ten PROSTY tutorial komuś się przyda. Przekazujcie go sobie śmiało, gdy zobaczycie, że ktoś nie do końca radzi sobie z Mastodonem lub zastanawia się, dlaczego to takie trudne i "tu nikogo nie ma".
I tak - ten tekst dotyczy tylko Mastodona. Specjalnie o Fedi wspominam na końcu.

If you think words like #server, #instance, #federated, or especially #fediverse are intuitive, welcoming, or commonly understood language outside of techie circles,
then I’d like to ask that you pause and consider broadening your empathy.
Most humans don’t know what these words mean. That reduces their likelihood to embrace a nice place like #mastodon, and condemns anyone who has expertise in other fields to ad-based social media.
@DeeGLloyd@mastodon.world
A 🧵 about how I got blocked by @kevinrothrock, managing editor of @meduza_en on not 1 but 2 social media platforms. This will be a familiar tale for other #fellas in the #Fediverse, but isn't just a story of a #NAFO #ShibaInu piling on someone for an unfortunate post.
Rather I'm sharing this as a lesson for other folks who are here to follow #news about #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine. This isn't an attack on Kevin, even if I say some mean things about him, but about bias expertise & trust 1/n

Dear random #fediverse user, if you create n accounts on multiple platforms and then post the same content to all of these accounts, it will appear n times in my timeline. Which will result in me muting n - 1 of your accounts if this happens a few times. Then, if you post smth important / smart / funny exclusively to one of those muted accounts, I won't see it.
So yeah, that toast looks tasty, but maybe don't post it to 2 Mastodon, 1 Pixelfed and 1 Calckey account? :-)

Hi infosec.exchange, (and hi again #mastodon + the rest of the #fediverse )
I have successfully infiltrated your server and will load subsequent toots here for the foreseeable future.

I am the same Avoid The Hack from #birdsite and run the website https://avoidthehack.com
Most of this feed is related to #cybersecurity and #privacy - generally for the individuals, families, and the super small organizations out there. I often focus on the intersection between the two.
Sometimes I post advice. Sometimes I share tools. Sometimes I share articles I have written. Sometimes I share articles featuring Avoid the Hack. Sometimes there is humor and memes.
Stay safe out there.

2. Not in IT field nor having such backgrounds but a tech lover. Love UNIX/Linux and the great #Vivaldi browser.
3. Read/write in traditional Chinese and understand basic Japanese, but I guess I will focus on English contents here. Not quite an anime/manga fan as many of you think but do watch a few of them.
4. Studied political science so yes I follow news/political issues but usually don’t want to dig deep into it.
Nice to meet you :)

#introduction post!
Stay at home Dad, variety streamer, and amateur game dev.
I came to the #fediverse thanks to Reddit's implosion. After trying a few different platforms I've landed on Mastodon. Which is funny since I never used Twitter.
I'm normally a lurker but want to try being more active here.
Hobbies:
#gaming (mostly #Nintendo or #indie)
#crochet
#digitalart
#reading (mostly #fantasy + #lightnovels)
#boardgames
#anime (Though I haven't watched anything in a long time xP)
@wedistribute@mastodon.social
Our project is staffed entirely by volunteers, producing the best coverage we can for the development of the #Fediverse. We don't paywall our articles, sell advertising space, or collect personal data.
Here are some ways you can help us keep the lights on!
@skobkin@lor.sh
От себя тоже поприветствую всех пришедших и дам несколько советов.
✅ Заполните профиль и поставьте аватарку. Неплохой идеей будет указать там ваши увлечения или вид деятельности.
✅ Напишите что-нибудь: приветствие, пост о себе (тут используют тег #introduction)
✅ Листайте ваши локальные и глобальные ленты, и подписывайтесь на тех, кто интересен - тут нет алгоритма, который будет подсовывать вам контент. Набрать свою ленту нужно будет самостоятельно. Также возможно вам будет полезно зайти в настройки и установить языки контента, которые вы хотите видеть в ленте.
✅ Общайтесь с людьми.
✅ Не бросайте как только Twitter опять даст заднюю - дайте свободным соцсетям шанс, они могут вас удивить.
Эти простые советы могут помочь вам не заскучать и заинтересовать других людей подписаться на вас.

@mjohanning@birds.town
It's been a while since I wrote my introduction and since I've gotten a lot of new followers in the past few days and weeks, I've decided to re-write my old #introduction to reflect what I mainly do with my account now.
My name is Marvin, I currently live in Bielefeld and I earn my money as a sysadmin at a small company in Halle (Westf.)
I have a lot of hobbies, but my main hobby is, and has for a couple of years, been #photography and, more recently, birding.
I have begun mainly doing #birdphotography, #wildlifephotography and sometimes also #landscape, #macro or just other random stuff. I generally post at least one #bird #photo per day on my account and sometimes other photographs I've taken that I think are worth sharing.
I am also a great fan of the #Fediverse and have started my own #PeerTube and #Mastodon instances (birdtu.be and birds.town respectively).
tl;dr You'll find mostly birds on my account, sometimes other wildlife, insects or other general photography and also random musings from time to time as well.

"The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom. People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms... We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it."

Hello and welcome to my #fediverse profile!
I've spun up my own #GoToSocial instance as a way to teach myself #docker and server administration, but also to finally have a **forever** home in the federated universe.
Won't 'toot' much, but when I do, I'm probably rambling on about something related to #cars, #technology, #music, or just life in general.
Feel free to drop me a follow and see you around!

We're very excited to be joining the #fediverse, so here's our #introduction post:
We are the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR), an archive preserving materials from the entertainment industries. We are home to over three hundred collections from playwrights, television and movie writers, producers, actors, designers, directors, and production companies.
Housed in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Library-Archives Division, the WCFTR is one of the world’s most accessible #archives and is regularly visited by researchers from around the world. Research undertaken in its collections has revolutionized the scholarship of American #cinema, #theater, and #television.
We provide in-person and remote access to our collections. Learn more here: https://wcftr.commarts.wisc.edu/index.php/access-materials/
We use social media to share news about new collections, upcoming events, interesting materials we've found, and projects that we're working on -- as well as learning about what you're working on!

The real magic of the #fediverse is collaboration.
Many of the largest projects have worked together behind the scenes on compatibility.
It's not that common now that ActivityPub has matured, but you better believe the early days of 2018 had big players like Mastodon and Pleroma working closely on compat.
#ActivityPub = Community + Collaboration
The magic formula that sets us apart!

When there is a user in another instance whose posts are not all reflected in the instance that I use, does anyone know how to (or if it is ever possible right now) boost some older post?
It seems to me that even the id of some post is different when I open it from my instance website, and from the original instance website. I was trying to think I could maybe just copy the id and try to force it to load somehow.

Some of the #Fediverse software is not setting #CORS headers for their #Atom & #RSS #WebFeed
They should. But they aren't.
...
Adding #CORS headers makes it so Atom & RSS WebFeeds can be pulled at the client end (and doesn't have to run through a server).
If you care about #privacy , you should care about this. As not having it have to run through a server protects privacy more.
...
For example, the Atom & RSS WebFeeds should have this CORS header:

#Intro #Introduction Well, here I am posting about #BookishThings. I joined a #Mastodon instance back in April of last year, when the threat of Muskification of Bird began looming on the horizon. By January of this year, I began thinking about the overabundance of material-topics I had for potential posting.
Three projects also came to mind. 1) A #TarotCard layout based on #Narrative #PlotLine. I've explored this idea using the #CelticCrossLayout, and will try to take it a bit further.
#KelticLayout #SelfExploration #Jungian #CreativeWriting
https://impliedspaces.wordpress.com/the-keltic-layout-for-the-tarot-plot-structure/
2) I've acquired too much material for my #ScannedCollages. I'm branching out with #AlteredBook #AsemblageArt. #Collage #CollageArt #Assemblage #Books #AlteredBookArt
3) "Try to motivate my reading by using the #PicturePromptBingo #2023 to give me as much flexibility in choices." My #BookPile needs to get a small dent (at least). 😂 Picture Prompt bingo card a loosey-goosey#ReadingChallenge in which you match books that you’ve read to one of the pictures on the bingo card. The key thing is that you be as #creative in your #interpretation of the picture as you like. #BookChoice #Book #Prompt
https://bookforager.wordpress.com/2022
So here I am - even more #SocialMedia activity as I fill time and a small part of the #Fediverse with talk #OfBookishThings.😉

A reminder to all the new friends on the #Fediverse and #Mastodon! USE HASHTAGS! It's the best way to be discovered, otherwise the only people who see it are people who already follow you. If your instance has updated to Mastodon 4.0+ you can also follow hashtags like users and get all posts with that hashtag in your home feed. Basically a #DIY #algorithm!

Das #Fediverse ist "Social Media" in unseren Händen.

#Introduction. Been exploring the #fediverse since November 2022 - feel free to ask me for help.
IT systems professional. Love #classicMovies & #discGolf. Intellectual curiosity about everything, really! #Louisville Kentuckian, Italian heritage. Check out my ongoing 10 Years 10 Films series of #cinema history since 1888 https://zepfanman.com/10y10f/ #cinemastodon
Also, I love #dogs

Hewwo~ I'm Cushee_Foofee. I finally made it onto the Fediverse!
I'm a femboy that likes to research about topics that interest me, and I condense the information into one place, a document, that is hopefully readable to the average person.
I like art, and sometimes try out a little bit of art. I hope to get good at 3d modeling and making a Vtuber model to try streaming with.
Also, I was curious if there was a Fediverse website that could allow me to upload a text document (Such as a .odt file) as a post of page, that will show the titles, headings, colored highlights, hyperlinks, lines, tables, etc.
For example, I can already do that with Google docs
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m3qqlzWughiAFKF7PV1LeES4Gehm2PR0fZjh8V--jjQ/edit?usp=sharing
but of course I do not respect Google. If I could do that with Fediverse that would be cool.
Also, I am on Mastodon, can I upload videos to PeerTube with this account?

🆕 blog! “How much decentralisation is too much?”
Twitter's over, my dudes! And now everyone is on Mastodon! But Mastodon isn't a site, it is a federated network running an interoperable protocol! Yay for ActivityPub1! Anyway, that means there isn't one Mastodon website. There are many. There is only one Twitter. There is only one Facebook. There is only one In…

@opaquemass@metalhead.club
Hello fellow metalhead.club inhabitants of the #fediverse, here's an #introduction of Opaque Mass.
This is a #Dutch one-man #metal band that released its first album on #bandcamp in December 2021 at https://opaquemass.bandcamp.com
It's inspired by 90s death metal. Songs are a lament and a warning for mankind's destructive behavior.
All musical and lyrical content is made by @kerfuffle
I'm looking for an illustrator for the next album & book in the #horror, #demon and #fantasy genre.

ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔᜶ (Mabuhay!) I'm 스노 (雪亮 Yuki), a #Filipino #ASEAN.
I'm an #OpenlyAutistic #INFP person. #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo (#이상한변호사우영우) and #InnocentWitness (#증인) gave me the courage to say enough with the discrimination, prejudice, about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistics.
I believe in #FreeCulture, #Privacy and #Security.
My first #Fediverse was in 2008. I used to run a #Friendica instance for the #Philippines, and had a solo #Hubzilla instance.

Flickr CEO Don MacAskill (@d0n) is currently running a poll to decide whether to add #ActivityPub to Flickr to join the #fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc.)
Make your voice heard:
https://sfba.social/@d0n/109422647995225732
Poll on Twitter too:
https://twitter.com/DonMacAskill/status/1597256480519966720
Remember this has good and bad repercussions whether you use Flickr or not, it would be the first time an old giant joins us but also would bring many many new issues we would have to face together. Please boost for reach!
@RobCubbon@mastodon.art
I never did write an #introduction post when I first joined, I think that was during an exodus from Facebook.
So, to make up for my feral human level social skills, I'm Rob originally from North Wales now living in Leeds. I'm an artist and graphic designer with an interest in #Gardening #Permaculture and #WoodWorking
I like #Punk and #Powermetal as well as various other acousti-nonsense. I'm really looking forward to using Mastodon and exploring the #Fediverse

Bonjour la #Ludosphère et le #Fediverse !
J'aimerais beaucoup vous proposer un petit tag hebdomadaire dans l'esprit de mon instance : le #JeuJeudi .
Le principe ? Chaque jeudi partager une recommandation de jeu de société, jeu vidéo, jeu grandeur nature, jeu de figurines, bref un jeu qui vous plaît.
Le but ? Se partager nos meilleures recommandations et favoriser les discussions à caractère ludique.

I’m part scientist🔭🥼 (in another life), part maker🔩🪛, part runner🏃🏽♀️🏃♂️, part climber🧗🧗♂️… the list goes on.
I’m also super curious about how #ActivityPub works and the #Fediverse, so now that I’ve been afforded some time off I may take a deeper look 👀
Nice to meet you, let’s chat! 🗣️

1) How do I get my own #mastodon /server? I am not a sysadmin. There is 2 routes to this.
a) a managed hosting like masto.host.
➕ very good for no technical experience. web server cost is built in. somebody else is doing all the maintenance
➖ it does cause a bit of a centralization, very few reputable options so limits the options to move.

Da mir gerade ein 15 posts langer Twit... erm Mastodon-Thread in die TL gespült wurde, folgender Hinweis:
Es gibt Plattformen im #Fediverse die kein Zeichenlimit haben. Auf #Friendica / #Hubzilla / #WriteFreely könnt so viel schreiben wie ihr wollt. Auch #Misskey mit dem 3k Limit ist besser geeignet.
Wenn ihr öfter ans Limit stößt, dann holt euch doch da einen Zweitacc. Den könnt ihr dann boosten und ich muss mir nicht 15 einzelne posts durchlesen.
Nutzt die Möglichkeiten des Fediverse.

help your friends to phase into the #fediverse
they are trapped in their #socialmedia patterns. confused about #mastodon
...it is too hard for them to grasp. seriously;
"mastodon is wired and complicated"
"am i now an instance?"
"is this a cult of some kind?"
"i will join #elonmusk on mars"
help them, as this pic has helped so many middle schoolers.

あー、この件だけ書いとくか。
先日fosstodon.orgから流れてきた投稿で、
どこから #fediverse に参加してる？
っていうアンケートがあって、たくさんサンプル欲しいからブースト歓迎！ って呼びかけてたんだ。それ自体はなんの問題もなかった。
でもfosstodon.org、実はmstdn.jpとPawooをサーバごとブロックしていて、
一見投票できたように見えるんだけど、集計に反映されない（投票がブロックされちゃう）状態になってたんだ。
FOSS / FLOSS（Free/Libre and Open Source Software）って自由で開かれたソフトウェアをテーマに掲げたサーバだから、これマズイよねって思ってたら、
ガッツリ批判されてて
https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1589188383376834560
その後の流れはちゃんと追ってないからわからないんだけど、fosstodon.orgのmstdn.jpとPawooのブロックが解除された。

Weiß nicht ob ich das durchhalten werde, aber bisher schaue ich im #Fediverse noch ziemlich oft in andere Profile und scroll die Timelines durch. Auch bei Accs denen ich schon folge.
Man lernt sich einfach besser kennen so.

@heracles@mastodon.social
Since I never got to do a #fediverse #introduction…
My name’s Heracles, I am an architect engineer, turned aspiring startupper, turned creative producer and digital strategist.
I’ve been working with web tech to make tools, prototypes, communities and sites since the age of 24k dialup, and still do, albeit as a recreational activity.
I enjoy works of art that argue about and shift our perception of digital technologies and society, and the occasional game, usually things Nintendo published.

After a few days of poking around I think I like it in the #fediverse. Thus, a short #introduction is due:
I’ve been programming computers for more than four decades and it’s still one of the most fulfilling activities I know - at least sometimes. As far as I know I was the first person calling themselves a „Software Therapist“ (around 2012).
In my private life I tend to get upset about lots of things: unsocial politics, climate change deniers, cars, failing at basketball, you name it…

@OneiricBotcelot@digitalcourage.social
Ich bin seit Sommer 2021 auf Mastodon, aber nach meinem Umzug von social.tchncs.de #neuhier auf dieser Instanz. Nachdem ich schon seit längerem Fördermitglied bei @digitalcourage bin, war es einfach an der Zeit.
Beruflich und von den meisten Interessen her bin ich in der #IT beheimatet. In den letzten Jahren stelle ich vermehrt die Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft im digtalen Zeitalter in Frage und habe für mich einige Schlüsse daraus gezogen. So besitze ich weder ein Konto bei #Microsoft und #Google noch nutze ich irgendeinen Service aus dem Universum des Konzerns #Meta. Die Nutzung von #Amazon habe ich weitestgehend eingestellt.
Themen für die ich mich u.a. interessiere: #Netzpolizik, #Mainframe, #Datenschutz, #FLOSS, #Security, #Privacy, #Selfhosting, #Linux, #CSGO, #OpenStreetMap, #Wandern, #GrapheneOS, #Klima, #Überwachungskapitalismus, #Hardstyle.
Bleibt nur noch zu sagen: Ich freue mich auf (weiterhin) einen tollen Austausch im #Fediverse!

Aus der Reihe #Fediwesen, heute:
Das #Moin
(Fedi Nordicus Moin)
Das #Moin ist überwiegend in Norddeutschland beheimatet. Im Laufe von Auswanderung gibt es Abwandlungen wie das #Moin Moin, welches im Norden schon als Kurzgeschichte gilt. Vereinzelt taucht auch ein genmanipuliertes Guten #Moin auf, das meistens geheilt werden kann.
Auch wenn das #Moin als Wortkarg und kühl gilt, kann man mit ihm doch viel Spaß haben, wenn man sich darauf einlässt.
@dsw28@norden.social
Aus der Reihe #Fediwesen, heute:
Das #Guckuck
(Fedi Claunicus Guckuck)
Das #Guckuck taucht oftmals gern ohne Vorankündigung in Konversationen auf. Wie der neuseeländische Kea (Nestor notabilis) ist er offen, interessiert und immer für einen Spaß zu haben. Ein #Guckuck ist ständig auf der Suche nach einer Konversation, an der er mit humorvollen Beiträgen teilnehmen kann.
Wenn man das #Guckuck pfleglich behandelt, kann man viel Spaß mit ihm haben.
@dsw28@norden.social
Aus der Reihe #Fediwesen, heute:
Das #Huhu
(Fedi Symphaticus Huhu)
Das #Huhu ist ein scheues Wesen, welches sich hier und da aus dem Dickicht der Toots herauswagt um freundlich und zurückhaltend an Konversationen teilzunehmen.
Nähert euch vorsichtig und umsichtig um es nicht zu verschrecken, dann wird es oftmals zutraulich und eure #Timeline verschönern.
@coloco@mastodon.social
Esto es lo que viene siendo la esencia de #mastodon y las redes del #fediverse.
Mostrar seguidores no disponible....por que no importan aquí, aquí valen otras cosas, me quito el sombrero ante esta cuenta.
@peron@mastodon.sdf.org
@SDF I'm an 🇦🇷 individual interested in historical operating systems, synthesizers, anonymity-respecting and telematic communities.
I'm looking for fair and cooperative Data Networks, and Free, Fair and Sovereign software.
While challenging the monotonous discourse of corporate social media, I commend the Hacktivist Movement known as #Fediverse.
I envision positive social, ethical and political considerations intertwined in teaching, research, and implementing libre computing.
@meejah@mastodon.social
To #fediverse #newcomers: you need to put in effort to find and follow people.
I recall Mastodon feeling "empty" when I first tried it -- I think you kind of get out what you put in. You can't just do nothing and scroll forever like that other site...
@Wintermute_BBS@oldbytes.space
Okay, so I guess I still owe the #fediverse an introduction - well, here it comes:
like probably most people on #oldbytes (that's the instance I'm on) I'm into classic-computing and everything "retro computing". I was a teen in the 1980s and grew up with several computers of the era, namely the VIC-20, ZX81, C64, Amiga and Atari ST before moving to the PC and eventually being enlightened by the FOSS and Linux community.
For a living I'm working as a Linux platform engineer, for fun I delve into the depths and mysteries of 8 and 16 bit computing.
I also run two classic bulletin board systems #bbs, a Linux based MBSE system named "Wintermute BBS" and the infamous "RC-BOX", the world's first and (currently) only bulletin board to run on a #rc2014 homebrew computer.
I'm not a political activist but consider myself 'old fart left' since I am an old fart and have a left-wing opinion - it's been this way all my life.
So hello, #fediverse - my name is Wintermute_BBS and I'm a nerd!
@dsw28@norden.social
Ein Hinweis an alle #neuhier:
Das Fediverse verkauft keine perönlichen Daten und verdient auch kein Geld mit Werbung. Der Betrieb der Instanzen kostet jedoch. Bei kleinen Instanzen ein paar hundert Euro im Jahr, bei großen teils wesentlich mehr. Von dem unentgeltlichen Arbeitseinsatz der Admins und Mods ganz abgesehen.
Wenn ihr also vorhabt länger am #Fediverse teilzuhaben, dann macht euch Gedanken eurer Instanz etwas zu spenden. Angaben dazu findet ihr bei den Infos zu eurer Instanz.

Greetings, people! I am a software developer. Outside of work, I use free/libre software almost exclusively. I am pained that we continue to allow nature and community to get degraded by crony individualism. We can do much better, e.g. the voluntary refugee concept.
I have been chuffed with the #Fediverse almost all of the time I have been on it. There is plenty of food for thought in many a toot out there. I am having to move off @wyatwerp now, and really happy to find a Fediverse instance that ... uh ... federates.

Она решает две базовые задачи:
- Балансировка регистраций между различными инстансами
- Лендинг для входящего пользователя, который одновременно и позволяет зарегистрироваться на случайном сервере, и получить более подробную информацию, если он хочет ответственно подойти к миграции в Федивёрс.
У всего этого, естественно, открытый код и лицензия MIT:

Там же на гитхабе есть инструкции для тех, кто хотят предложить свой сервер для добавления в список или другого контрибьюта.
Дополнительно - в дочерних постах.

Hello #fediverse 👋
@imacrea@mamot.fr
Chère #fediverse il y a environ deux ans je me suis mis en tête de quitter le monde des startups et de soutenir le mouvement vers un numérique libre et respectueux des citoyen.es du mieux que je pouvais. Réalisant que de nombreuses solutions et de forces vives étaient déjà à l'oeuvre, j'ai déduis que le mieux que je pouvais faire en l'état c'était d'encourager d'autres à faire aussi cette même transition. Aujourd'hui je suis heureux de vous annoncer la sortie de #Déclic https://declic-lelivre.com

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS
Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.
The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.
It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)

Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!
@liaizon@social.wake.st
was at #npdev summit all day in #oakland and told so many people about the #fediverse my brain hurts.

I'm so excited to present my work on #Fediverse-wide hashtag federation, search, and subscription at #ActivityPubConf.
The recording will be available later, but if you're interested in enabling a global consistent view on hashtags, know stuff about DHTs or #ActivityPub relays, you can have a look at the paper: https://git.orlives.de/schmittlauch/paper_hashtag_federation/src/branch/master/paper_hashtag_federation.pdf
Please contact me about any questions, remarks or other feedback!
So here's a TL;DR:
@noellabo@fedibird.com
分散SNSでユーザーが特定のサーバに縛り付けられる要因としては、
ソフト（人間）の面ではLTLなどのコミュニティの繋がりがある。
ソフト（技術）の面では、署名と、UID、到達性の問題がある。
・個人の秘密鍵をサーバが預かっており、新しい鍵との交換をサーバに依存せずに実行する手段が確立されていない
・Actor、ActivityのユニークIDが、サーバのドメインに依存している
・オブジェクトのURI、inbox、outboxなどの重要なエンドポイントが、サーバのドメインに依存している
LTLなどのコミュニティについては、サーバから分離するスタイルが一般化することで解消できる可能性がある。
ハッシュタグタイムラインとリレーなどの手段があるが、ハッシュタグは中央管理されないので管理が不可能である。
Group Actorを活用した管理可能で連合するコミュニティが期待されるところである。
技術面では、個人が個々にドメインを保有し、サーバがそれを預かって運用するスタイルが一般化することで、解消が可能と期待されるところである。 #distsns #fediverse

J'ai bien des profils LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Viadéo, mais bon, le #fediverse c'est différent...
