If you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.

> welcome to The Mastodon Network™ Development Process, itsfoss!
There are so many poor engineering decisions leading to this problem. But it could be worse; each client could generate its own unique link preview, instead of each server creating one for the people using it.
Maybe this points to a solution for @Gargron and co? What if the account posting the link generated the link preview, and sent it as part of the post metadata?

Hi fellow Mastodonians.... just wanted to check something;
my feeling is that there is a lot more activity on Mastodon at the weekends than during the week (by which I mean re-posting, liking & replying) ... is that just me or a more general impression?
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.
https://framtida.no/2024/03/10/fodiverset-eit-godt-alternativ-til-instagram-og-tiktok
Framtida is a Norwegian newsorganization that cover young culture and politics in "New-norwegian".

I'm so excited to finally have this.

Question for all the #mastodonadmins out there - I recently found out that my media s3 storage is sitting at 4.8TB worth of data lmao.
I updated the system settings to purge them after 14 days - about 14 days ago and nothing has been purged yet. How do I force it to purge any media thats older than 14 days?

“Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project.”
The history of Mastodon is tied to GNU Social.

When we first set up over here, we struggled to keep up with all the little bits of news from across the Fediverse and open social web.
We've got a grasp of it now (thanks mostly to @fediversereport ) but we were wondering, is keeping up with the Fediverse something you struggle with?

Mastodon.social alt text analysis report! 🧐
Me and my friend Cristal just published a report on image description usage on mastodon.social, as a group project for the Introduction to Data Science course of the Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Societies Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome 💕
A huge thanks to @stefan for publishing the dataset on which we based our analysis!
NOTE: We are absolutely aware that the report has very little actual relevance, as the dataset contains a super limited amount of posts from one instance only. It was mainly an experimentation to test our data analysis skills.

yup, that about summarizes it.
constantly worried about #eternalseptember (spoiler, at colleges you're SUPPOSED to get new users, be nice damnit)
not listening to new users' UX, safety, and usability concerns, (which leads to frustration, "why not just use a TTY? it's only a little speed bump")

Quite some tech journalists and "influencers" out there keep on telling us that #Mastodon (and the whole #fediverse, because they typically don't know that there is more than just one service ;) is losing users after the last wave of newcomers.
Weird thing is: I keep on getting more followers and my timeline is getting better and more diverse with a lot of inspiring content and respectful discussions.
So, I guess, smaller is better :) Thank you all for being awesome!

- @peertube released #PeerTube v7, their yearly update with a complete redesign
- The organisation behind #Mastodon app Mammoth and @subclub shuts down due to a lack of funding, as Mozilla has shut down their fediverse investment

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.

My mum (who is also a grandmother) joined #Mastodon:
• Most M. intros are for people familiar with social media. I wrote one for newbies and it helped her: https://gist.github.com/rauschma/15bf55cd2015ab29d7c3bbfb0805c18d
• I collected a few German-speaking accounts for her to follow (a.k.a. a starter pack) so that her timeline wouldn’t be empty. These post positive global news and are a good counterbalance to the negativity in even mainstream newspapers.
• The German hashtag `NeuHier` worked well: She already has 27 followers.

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:

@rolle Even though not a logged in user, I tested out the search operators and that looks awesome. Now, a mastodon instance can be used for true searching, even browser address searching an instance. #MastoAdmin
Changing the search url and adding query ability is one of the best advancements that #Mastodon software has done in a while. Easy to setup in browsers, too, for address bar searching

The holiday season is great for some and not so much fun for others. Keep that in mind during your interactions this time of year. 🙂

Wow, as a #Mastodon front-end this is pretty sweet so far. (And it can be self-hosted, if you like.)
We have now successfully upgraded to v4.4.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2024-12-15.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 115 commits ahead from the last version which was v4.4.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2024-12-02
As usual, please tell me or our other admins about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.

Est-ce que c'est vrai que #Mastodon c'est compliqué ?
Ou est-ce que c'est juste une illusion chez les gens qui ont utilisé les 3 mêmes applications ces 10+ dernières années et ont donc, d'une part, l'habitude de leurs interfaces, et d'autre part, vu lesdites interfaces évoluer graduellement vers des choses pas nécessairement intuitives non plus, sans s'en rendre compte ?
Oh wait so BlueSky has just discovered that stackable moderation doesn't work either because when you bring and accept a TERF, you bring all of his followers too, so no matter tagging them as "intolerant" the network still fills up of an army of TERFs. What a suprise!!!
...not.
Oh well.
Anyway.
If only Mastodon could copy the good parts of it like starter lists or shortened clearer user handles with domain aliases. IF ONLY 🤔

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.)
Found just the app I needed!
https://www.mastodonlistmanager.org/manager allows you to easily manage #Mastodon lists!
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.

Hey, I'm back on #Mastodon after a few months spent on #Bluesky.
I wanted to propose this time a local instance 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.
For those who don't know me already, please see the following post!

If https://mstdn.social falls off the #fediverse all of the sudden, we'll know what happened: #hetzner. Here's hoping Hetzner is not going to react in a knee-jerk fashion.
BREAKING: #Mastodon hits the big time, Russian government apparently attempting to censor a large Mastodon instance.
resharing this again.
if you are a frequent user of both #Bluesky and #Mastodon, Sill is a useful website which collects all the links from people you follow and allow you to filter it!
Users of #Mastodon and the #fediverse, ensure you do not use the Bluesky bridge. Kiwifarms is pouring in on Bluesky using Jesse Singal as a Trojan horse and the company just handed them the golden ticket. I will not use the bridge myself, will not endanger my friends here

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.

Alright, so on the web, #Mastodon has elk.zone and #Lemmy has phtn.app. Does #Pixelfed have a fancy web alternative that people like?
Also still on the hunt for a good Pixelfed Android app, and I'd take Linux desktop apps for either Pixelfed or Lemmy. I'm already using Tuba for Mastodon, and I like it a lot. It's sort of incredible how good this ecosystem already is.
Remember, everyone you're communicating with on #Mastodon is a human being with human feelings. Unless they're a soulless bot.
> リンクを含む投稿の優先度を下げる「リンクはメインではなくリプライに入れろ」というマスクの表明に、（自分の文章の告知を含む）リンクの共有こそがSNSの利用意義であるワタシも心が折れたところがありました。
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！

And inspired by Chinese word threads by @chu I have been thinking about 業
This is how the #Buddhism concept Karma was translated into Chinese.
業 has its original meaning as "work" or "achievement".... in this translation Karma becomes one's work that cannot be shaken off and needed to complete before one reach nirvana. I'd tried but failed find whoever linked this meaning to Karma? Would appreciate any tip #mastodon #hivemind

Anyone else in my #HCI & #Visualization academic communities on https://hci.social/ and https://vis.social/ planning on sticking it out on #Mastodon? I've personally quite enjoyed the community and interesting content here.
Inspired by @filippodb I have tried MARL aka #Mastodon Archive Reader Lite (https://s427.github.io/MARL/) to browse my Mastodon archive. It's absolutely brilliant! ✨
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.
@gruber Is it just me or is Mozi's logo remarkably similar to the logo of @mammoth, the #Mozilla sponsored #Mastodon client? Seems ripe for confusion since Mozi sounds like it *should* be affiliated with Mozilla...
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.

Hello #Mastodon! Moving to a new server, so here's my #introduction.
I'm a technologist, urban planner, and a #PhD student based in #Toronto, with #Luddite tendencies. I research municipal climate action plans and the role of computational modelling in shaping them. Particularly of the emancipatory potnetial of modelling.
I also think and write about #anticapitalist climate futures of #Palestine and the #Levant.
With @bothness, I co-founded Palestine Open Maps https://PalOpenMaps.org
I wish there was a way to subscribe to or follow posts on #mastodon. That would make following interesting conversations a lot easier.

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.

I literally do not care about social media posts that I cannot directly interact with.
I do not see the point.
The next big VC idea just dropped at #bluesky:
1️⃣ Build a social network with 20M+ users managed by a tiny staff of 20.
2️⃣ Let everyone in - trolls, hate groups, and the worst corners of the internet.
3️⃣ Make users handle moderation with endless blocklists.
4️⃣ Sell it to the highest bidder and bail.
Sound familiar? Don’t settle for chaos.
The #Fediverse is ad-free, decentralized, and community-run. No billionaires, no hate-filled spaces, no drama.
Twitter (x) API v2 documentation is crap, the API has a very HIGH price and is just not worth it. #Mastodon, #BlueSky and #Threads are MILES ahead, I am not sure why people keep using Twitter, honestly, I don't see a future.
People may say Elon did great with all the cutting costs and layoffs, but it is going to be his slowly demise.

I am still looking for a new #Mastodon instance I can migrate to early next year. I am looking for:
- Should make an honest effort to keep up with the latest software updates.
- Be friendly to writers (since my main focus will be on folklore writing)
- No known major problems with the moderation of the admins.
- A character limit of at least 2000 (you can check it via the api, by adding /api/v1/instance to the instance name)
I have evaluated and discarded:
- pagan.plus (limits mastodon.social - understandable, but since I am a self-published author who wants reach it's not ideal for me)
- c.im (geoblocks entire countries, which I am not a fan of)
- infosec.exchange (seems to be for people who are primarily interested in IT Security topics, which doesn't fit my profile)
Can anyone give me any other recommendations? #Fedihelp
Good morning. Buongiorno. Bore da.
Buenos dias. Guten morgen.
#SarlaccPit is a word #game similar to the classic #Hangman & also inspired by #HangTrek as played here on #Mastodon. One user hosts by choosing a word or phrase from #StarWars & then runs polls with choices of letters. The winner of each poll is used as a collective guess from those playing. The results are revealed & then a new poll is run until someone guesses the result.
Suppose the host chooses “The Force” as the answer to the puzzle. The puzzle would initially start as:
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Choices might be:
A as in Alderaan
E as in Endor
O as in Onderon
U as in Utapau
If E wins the poll, the result would be:
_ _ E / _ _ _ _ E
Then a new poll would run. This repeats until someone guesses. Then that person runs the next puzzle.

Hi @micr0!
In the first place, thx for creating @altbot @ fuzzies.wtf!
The profile states that to unfollow the #BOT we have to MANUALLY force that:
> Due to the way the #Mastodon API works #altbot WILL NOT be able to unfollow you automatically if you change your mind, please manually force an unfollow
How do I do that?
Also, can you please add a pinned comprehensive toot how to unfollow the #BOT, as well as explaining which #LLM it uses and what that implies from "our" point of view?
Is Mastodon abandoning the policy on noreferrer?
Remember the discussion here on #Mastodon about forcing a NoReferrer on all links from some days ago?
Today I suddenly found mastodon.social as traffic source and would you look at that: The same link over there hasn't got the NoReferrer but on our own instance it still has it.
Did I miss something? Is this deliberate?
Did you know Facebook has settings like this?
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.
This is why I spend a lot more of my time on Vivaldi Social and Mastodon...

Therefore, I will move all my future papers to Elsevier from now on and completely ignore all the non-profit journals that exist" #twitterMigration #blueSky #Mastodon #socialMedia #academics
Sur le blog récemment :
Mon ressenti après 2 ans passés sur le Fédiverse et en particulier sur Mastodon.
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!

Did my #mastodon instance just shit itself?
If you see this on Bluesky, could you make some sort of reaction?
Ditto, if it hits your feed on Mastodon
I’m not sure what I’m trying to prove. Maybe I’m just being self-indulgent. Humour me.
Precisazione importante: Threads e Bluesky usano una federazione parziale ed entrambi i social non federano i loro utenti di default, solo una piccola minoranza è federata, nel caso di threads addirittura nessun utente europeo può federarsi.
Gli utenti federati per entrambi i social sono meno di 5000, per fare un confronto, solo su mastodon.social vediamo ben 180mila utenti!
Quindi si tratta al momento di un evento marginale al #fediverso che potete seguire o bloccare come volete
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?

I just queried #Wikidata how many institutes and universities have Mastodon account, and seems most of them are in Germany (103). We need to thank the @neuSoM effort to convince universities to migrate from Twitter to #Mastodon.
However, I don't find how to query how many institutes hare integrated with the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. For example, the CS department where I studied has a #PeerTube channel (https://pt.dcc.uchile.cl).

#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:
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。

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.

@BeAware Sometimes I sit to pee.
Look, something new appeared between my followers: #Threads has arrived – at least a little bit.
But don't forget to appreciate the variety: I'm counting 24 (!!) services from where someone follows me here at #Mastodon. If that's not cool, I don't know. 😎
If you're wanting a human-curated list of nice, reliable servers that do not federate with Threads, here you go:
All of the servers are listed on the site with the permission of their admins, and are compatible with the rules detailed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site
(If you run a Fediverse server that is compatible with these rules and would like to be listed, send me a message!)
I wish there was a way to filter out posts that use tags that are unrelated to their post.
There's WAY too much random bullshit in all the Fediverse related tags.
Barely anyone actually talking about the Fediverse itself.😒🙄
Pay for it Friday! Use this toot as an excuse to support your #Fediverse instance home. Perhaps that's #Mastodon, #Pixelfed or any of the other wonderful software projects enabling us all to communicate across platforms.
Setup a recurring donation, anything and everything really counts. I'm personally supporting Mastodon with a $20/monthly donation (and have done so since 2023!). In addition to running a Swedish cybersecurity instance.
Boost if you believe in the fediverse ideal. 🙂

I am still looking for a new #Mastodon instance I can migrate to early next year. I am looking for:
- Should make an honest effort to keep up with the latest software updates.
- Be friendly to writers (since my main focus will be on folklore writing)
- No known major problems with the moderation of the admins.
- A character limit of at least 2000.
Can anyone give me any recommendations? #Fedihelp
Is #Bluesky decentralized? How does it compare to #Mastodon and #X?
A technical overview of the current state of the network, and how it might shape up the future:
https://softwaremill.com/blueskys-decentralized-architecture-compared-to-mastodon-and-twitter-x/
Of course #BlueSky will have ads. It’s not a nonprofit like #Mastodon. It’s funded by VC and crypto who expect a return on their investments. Most users won’t pay for social media. If they were willing, Mastodon wouldn’t have to do a go-fund-me for a trust and safety role. People impugn BlueSky for their incentives while not supporting Mastodon whose incentives align with their one. 🤷♂️

Masto admins: how do you contact your users? Do you just use server announcements, or do you have a way to send bulk emails?
So, as frightening as this tsunami warning is, the one thing it has shown is that the #fediverse now has enough citizens making instant real-time news a reality.
After #Threads made a small step in to the #Fediverse a reminder for all here on #Mastodon #SocialMedia #Decentralized

It's interesting. There's all this celebration about #Threads.net connecting to the #Fediverse …
Am I missing something obvious (very possible) or are people celebrating that Meta/Facebook is now sucking up #Mastodon user data?
A little late, but here are the last numbers for traffic from #X / #Twitter (where we're stopped posting) and its competitors to heise.de.

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/12/hashtag-standards-part-deux/
What is a hashtag?
Fifteen years ago (fuck, I'm old) I started documenting what Twitter's nascent hashtags could and couldn't do.
Back in 2010, this is how the official Twitter site linked hashtags.
Notably, punctuation symbols didn't "count" as part of a tag.
How does modern social media handle something like #Fish&Chips?
What about normalisation?
Should #Romeo link to #ROMEO and #rOMeO?
On all three of the major social networks, case is insensitive.
But what about the vagueries of Unicode normalisation?
Is #Ŕöméø&Jülíèt the same as #Romeo&Juliet?
Both Threads and Mastodon do some form of decomposition - turning the various accents into their accentless versions.
But BlueSky links to the literal version.
Is that the right thing to do? I don't know.
This literal interpretation of the text in hashtags allows for some interesting steganography - which can be fun, but I wonder if it is what users expect?
And that's what it comes down to. What is technically correct isn't always the same as what users need.
Perhaps most users prefer #ROMEO to link to the same posts as #romeo. Perhaps they think #Romeó should link there too. But no social network, as far as I am aware, has done any user research into the behaviour that users want when interacting with hashtags.
I'd love someone to do some actual research on how people expect a folksonomy to work.

Hi there #fediverse and #mastodon people, here I am doing my #introduction post!
Here I will post images, video, articles and accounts of how much the #NHS (the #UK #healthservice) has deteriorated in recent years and problems that are happening as a result.
I aim to be honest and objective as a former NHS worker myself. I love this service and am disappointed we couldnt do better for many, many people.
#Follow me if this is of interest to you. Thanks!!!

Today is the International Day of People with Disabilities.
Whilst we know that this space is progressive, we still have a lot of work to do to improve accessibility for many disabled people.
We hope that with more funding, we will be able to take more action to support the needs of disabled people on New Social.
If you're interested in the issues faced by disabled people, feel free to follow our @disabledvoices Community Feed.
I am starting to consider hack of #Mastodon #UI, which would enforce formatting of anything starting with "#!" (or #include or any usual type of comment, like /*, // or ; ) as fixed font, not wrapped, scrollable window (maybe with a link to popup fullscreen version)
Most of Mastodon users seem to be Linux users anyway and it would be cool to be able to share fragments of code. Maybe with some kind of CW (maybe specially formatted CW?)
Most Fediverse instances mimick mainstream social media, focused on sharing images and videos... but it it would be cool to be able to include fragments of code, mostly the same way mathstodon.xyz incorporated mathematical notation (except it doesn't make sense to do this on single instance...)
(I know, that this goes ahead the basic idea of providing tools for nerds to "socialize", but I figured out I followed huge number of programmers, much more than I ever did before on Twitter, but without any practical way to share share fragments of code if needed...)
Well, this was a fun surprise!
In December 2021 I set myself a goal: Add a year-in-review feature to #Mastodon before the next December. It's December 2024 and it's finally, slowly rolling out. It's not all that it was meant to be, because we couldn't prioritize it over all the other things we work on, but I didn't want to miss another year.

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.)
#mastodon question I should probably be able to answer myself, but I'm not terribly good at ruby 
when sidekiq/streaming does it work, do the workers talk through the API or directly to the database?
i remember having this convo with @thisismissem but I totally forgot what we concluded.
#fedihelp Ich möchte eine #Mastodon-Instanz stellen und suche Anleitung zu folgenden Themen: Hoster, Installation, ggf. Hosting-Dienstleister, Haftungsrisiken (MStV, Presserecht, Datenschutz, ...), Best Practice Betreiber-Rechtsform (Einzelperson, Verein, Genossenschaft, UG), Erfahrungen mit monatlichen Betriebskosten/Personalstundenaufwand Maintenance, Personalstundenaufwand Moderation. Wo finde ich dazu Material?
#Fediverse では、英語圏とか日本語以外の投稿も、翻訳でもなんでもとりあえず読むのにストレスなくなると読めるものが増えて楽しくなった漢字は（自分は）あった
まあでもあらかじめとくての言語だけ表示できるという の機能も、単純に便利でいいよね！
Ah, wild shot, but is anyone using the fairly outdated mastodon-api node.js library?
https://github.com/vanita5/mastodon-api
Seems like the "streaming/user" endpoint no longer works?
Maybe it's really time to switch to something else.
After seeing so much great currated content from @Flipboard on the #Fediverse, I finally downloaded their app and connected it with to #Mastodon account. Really enjoy how well #FlipBoard and Fediverse go together.
I see a real opportunity for them to enhance interactions and reach even further for publishers with a tight #Lemmy #Threadiverse integration.

Both Mastodon and BlueSky have the concept of "self-verification". Rather than trust a central authority to assess your notability and then bless your account (as Twitter used to do), they let anyone self-attest using Domain Verification0.
What does that mean?
On Mastodon, that gives you a green tick next to your link. On BlueSky, it gives you the ability to change your username to your website's name.
This is reasonably strong proof that you are the owner of that website. I don't have the ability to add the secret file I've been given to bbc.co.uk, so I cannot impersonate them.
But it isn't all sunshine and roses. There are some important issues with this process.
Let's say an employee has validated alice.big_company.com - what happens when Alice leaves2?
Well, you just delete the secret code from your website, right?
In theory yes. But in practice, no.
From BlueSky:
We're working on adding the ability to revalidate these handles periodically.
And Mastodon:
Verified links are currently verified at each time the profile is updated, but they will only be verified once, when initially entered.
So, at the moment, there is a risk that revalidation isn't completed and revocation never happens3. Accounts which were once trusted may stay trusted, even when they're no longer trustworthy.
You're chatting with your credit card company's social media account. You see that they've verified the domain.
Wait?! Are they really mastercrrd.info ✅?
There are several practical attacks against humans trying to validate a domain name. A simple misspelling is easy to overlook. There are thousands of top level domains, and you may not be sure if your bank uses .com, .uk, .tech, or something else. It only costs a few quid for an attacker to buy a domain which contains a politician's name.
International domain names mean that homograph attacks are possible.
Recently, several prominent journalists on BlueSky embarrassed themselves by pronouncing fake accounts to be real. The journalists - with all their resources and contacts - didn't bother to actually verify if the person who registered @KemiBadenoch was really the Leader of the Opposition.
They could have checked her website to see if it linked to the new account. They could have rung up the Tory press office. They could have checked to see if she have verified her account. Or they could have done a dozen other things to verify the facts before posting. They didn't.
These aren't random users blindly reposting. These are highly educated, thoroughly trained fact-finders. Their mission is accuracy and their livelihood depends on being able to report the truth. And yet they just assumed that no one would lie on the Internet.
Would a journalist be able to spot that tailer-swift.fartotron.xyz was an impersonator? I highly doubt it4.
Even when Twitter was validating celebrities correctly, it didn't stop the accounts getting hacked.
An attacker might compromise your social media account or your domain name registrar.
Just because an account and domain appear verified, it doesn't mean they're legitimate. Is that politician you follow really posting about dietary supplements?
I've written An Easy Guide To BlueSky Verification. It can be as simple as uploading a single file to your website. Although I have some sympathy for claims that managing the process for hundreds of employees might be difficult.
Based on my calculations around 5% of active BlueSky users have verified their domain.
Verification is hard. Can an over-worked verification team spot that I've photoshopped a passport so that it looks like someone else's?
There are hundred of famous people called John Williams - which one do you verify?
Also, what are you verifying? In my post on Rethinking Twitter Verification, I pointed out that the ambiguity of verification leads to some weird and non-obvious outcomes.
There are no simple technological fixes to complex social issues.
But I'm naïve enough to believe that, with time, we can train people to be better at assessing the information they are given.
It is a lot more complicated than that - as per this essay by Christine Lemmer-Webber. ↩︎
Secret in the sense that they only generate it for you. It isn't private. Nothing bad will happen if other people see it. ↩︎
Let's assume she's naughty and doesn't remove the validation herself from her profile. ↩︎
It appears that it takes BlueSky around 2 hour to detect and revoke verification. ↩︎
Prove me wrong. Seriously. So many journalists seem utterly credulous. ↩︎

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

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。
#Mastodon は検索弱いとか良く言われるし事実なんだけど、
全ユーザー発言を検索したいっていう欲求って、そもそも「勝ち馬に乗りたい」みたいな動機と繋がっている気がしてそういうことをもうちょっとちゃんと言語化したい気持ちが出てきた

There are many contributors but not as many developers we need for faster contributions. Frankly I think the steady pace is way to go, let's not move fast and break things. I have a day job but have plans. Then there's @thisismissem among others who do contribute a lot more. You should also point these ideas and concerns to @renchap.
Personally for now I'm focusing on my own Mastodon fork and #MastodonBirdUI. Maybe some day getting more done in a form of core contributions as well.

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
The Mastodon team is launching a crowd-funding campaign for a new Trust & Safety Lead role!

收到这个用户的关注请求，感觉怕怕的……:BlobCat_Googly_Sweating:是正经人吗……
I was scared when I received this user's request for attention...:BlobCat_Googly_Sweating:Are you a serious person...
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.
“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.”

Oh! Is the #fediverse the reason I see posts that are longer than the #mastodon character limit? Am I seeing posts from other systems that implement #ActivityPub or do I misunderstand what is happening?
Been checking out more of Fediverse recently, initial thoughts:
#Mastodon: Like a lot, esp the UI/UX. Waiting for Quote Posts. Needs better Sign Up experience on mobile. Main App is basic. Tusky on Android is great.
#Pixelfed: Lots of fun, UI/UX is amazing, even the beta app is amazing. Looking forward to checking out Loops.
#PeerTube: Concept is neat, like being able to watch videos & comment from Mastodon. But main site UI/UX is really bad. Really needs an Android TV app.

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.

Ich hatte dieser Tage mal versucht, ob es nicht Sinn macht, einen Bsky-Server selbst zu hosten. Mittels DDNS war das nicht möglich, da ich die notwendigen Ports bereits für Mastodon verwende.
Also das Thema in Ermangelung von Wissen, ob es hier andere Möglichkeiten gibt, erst einmal zu den Akten gelegt.
Dann erst einmal einen normalen Bluesky-Account angelegt und den Namen auf einen eigenen Server umgebogen. Das hat auch soweit geklappt.
Dann wollte ich meinen ersten Eintrag testhalber absenden. 300 Zeichen???? Ernsthaft? Halloooooo? Mir sind die 500 von Mastodon schon zu wenig.
Also auch erst einmal zu den Akten gelegt. Tja. War ein Satz mit x, das war nix.

Hello World :)
I am pleased to present you a small project that I have been working on these last weeks:
MARL (Mastodon Archive Reader Lite) is a small web app that allows you to explore in detail the content of your Mastodon posts archive, including attached files (images, videos, sounds), and with different search options.
🙏 Boosts welcome! 🙏
(More info in the post below 👇)
Salut les Mastonautes ! :)
J'ai le plaisir de vous présenter un petit projet sur lequel j'ai travaillé ces dernières semaines:
MARL (Mastodon Archive Reader Lite) est une petite web app qui vous permet d'explorer en détail le contenu de votre archive de posts Mastodon, fichiers joints inclus (images, vidéos, sons), avec différentes options de recherche.
🙏 Boosts appréciés! 🙏
(Plus d'infos dans le post suivant 👇)
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.
Too wild?
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.
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.
#TwitterMigration
people here who use #bluesky if you want you can #DM me here (or DM me on bluesky). so we can #discuss on many #topics.
I try to #grow an #account for 2 reasons (#backup) and also to make later #starter #pack to help #mastodon user in case where backup must be activated.
Edit : also in #infosec having access to a #network is useful for #finding #information.
I'm going to try using #bluesky in addition to #mastodon. I don't think I'll setup a bridge to do cross posting. My mastodon instance allows for a lot more characters to be posted and I just don't like the idea of automating blasting posts.
I'll be finding cool people to follow on various topics I like and posting my adventures as I learn things. Over the last year I've learned about #pkm and that has helped me prioritize learning about #selfhosting and #linux! I've got so into these topics that I've starting getting back into #productivity too. I like taking systems, connecting them, and seeing what I frankenstein together!
Why can't I quote a #Mastodon user's post? Please add this feature.
One thing #Mastodon should urgently copy from #Bluesky are starter packs: curated lists of people you can follow to get kickstarted on a topic you're interested in.
On the face of it, it doesn't sound too complicated to implement.
If someone is willing to implement this, I would be happy to compensate them for this, in part. Money or expertise, you choose.
For way over a year now I'm sharing data on #traffic from #Mastodon, #Twitter etc. to heise.de, always hoping someone else adds another perspective. Turns out, #Bluesky had to come along 😉 :
Both at the #BostonGlobe and #TheGuardian Bluesky already easily beats #Threads.

https://phanpy.social/#/catchup
Nice!
![Catch-up (BETA): downloads several hours worth of your home feed and then provides multiple ways to sort, group and filter them.
Choose what kind of posts to show:
All / Original / Replies / Boosts / Followed tags
Sort them by (each can be reversed):

Group them by:
None / Authors
On the top the page also displays various statistics, such as number of posts per followed account. (I have censored most names and profile pictures.)](https://media.mementomori.social/media_attachments/files/113/554/497/490/578/580/original/b00a56b26e70c0b6.png)

A thing like this [fedialgo] should be built-in to Mastodon. An algorithmic feed YOU can customize to YOUR liking in settings, and then it will just be there in the Explore tab. Heck, we could even have custom feeds like Bluesky and Threads, but USER driven.
I could just try and create to my Mastodon fork here at #MementoMoriSocial as a christmas holiday project.

@404mediaco @root42 to ba fair, #mastodon is not there either. Your instance admin can do the same.
If it was possible to federate with truth.social (Donald Trump’s personal Mastodon fork) would you?
(This is hypothetical-only because Truth.Social has had its federating abilities deactivated)
| Option | Voters |
|---|---|
| I would federate with the whole domain | 1 (3%) |
| I would do magic so only Trump’s posts Federated | 1 (3%) |
| What the H are you smoking to even ask this?? NO! | 32 (94%) |
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.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/long-live-the-web/
Some midnight thoughts: why don't patches for the main Mastodon tree exist? People have been asking (sometimes for years) to have loads of basic features, like:
- Quotable posts
- Setting your max chars for a post directly from the settings.
- Native markup support.
- Starter packs / block lists.
And the list could go on. Development is slow which would be understandable, yet then I see people like @dansup work on Pixelfed, Loops, or indeed Starter Packs (this guy is a miracle).
So, why aren't there people doing *patches*? A fork might be a bad idea as it would leave out many admins unwilling to migrate software. But patches are easily added and could increase the experience for millions of users.
I'm not a developer so I'm probably thinking too easy about this.
Thank goodness for filters on Mastodon.
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.
Ilahduttavan paljon tullut uusia suomalaisia Mastodonin puolelle! Mastodon on radikaalin erilainen some. Muutamia eroja muihin:
1. Tätä ei omista miljonääri. Toimii kuin Internet tai sähköposti, eli palvelimia on monta ja kaikki pelaavat yhteen.
2. Algoritmeja ei ole, eikä tietojasi kerätä kaupallisiin tarkoituksiin.
3. Täällä on väliä sillä ketä seuraa, joten seuraa paljon porukkaa!
4. Merkkirajoitus 500, mutta esim. meillä #MementoMoriSocial:ssa 10000. Kirjoita siis niin pitkiä päivityksiä kuin haluat!
5. Alkuun pääsemiseksi voit poimia suomalaisia listalta: https://mementomori.social/suomalaiset-mastodon-kayttajat/
6. Voit seurata myös hashtageja!
7. Ominaisuuksia on kattava määrä, ilahduttavia mm. postauskohtainen näkyvyys (voit postata vain seuraajillesi vaikka profiilisi olisi julkinen jne.) ja reaaliaikainen pääseinä
8. Appeja löytyy monta, koska niitä voi kehittää kuka tahansa. Suosikki-Mastodon appini iPhonelle on Mona ja Androidille Moshidon.
Kysy, jos on kysyttävää! Autamme mielellämme alkuun.

I might have mentioned several times that all logs will disappear in 15 days. Well, it's been 10 days, so I spent a good part of the morning trying to save the record. The apache logs was easy: made a semi-permanent copy on my desktop. #Mastodon record was more difficult. In the end I managed with the `mastodon.py` client and disabling 2FA, but boy was this a ride...

Question #Mastodon : est-il possible de modifier le niveau de confidentialité d'un message après l'avoir posté ?
Ça me semblait naturel comme fonctionnalité, mais apparement c'est impossible ?
Did I get this right? The federation timeline on my local server is populated by posts of users followed by someone on my server or replying to someone on my server? #Mastodon
#Threads blocks #EU residents from posting using #activitypub / #mastodon protocol.
ここ最近はずっと #Mastodon #Fediverse クライアントとして Phanpy をつかっていたけど、今日は #Mastodon の Web UI に戻してみてる。
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。
最新の の Web UI は アプリに寄って大分良さげになったし
Hello everynyan! I am moving my Mastodon account to Mastodon.social. Social.Vivaldi.net is a really good instance and i can recommend it, easily one of the best out here. My switch is based on certain personal needs, nothing else. I also never used Vivaldi browser so i always felt a bit- off place if i can be honest.
#RaccoonForFriendica is the new app developed by @dieguitux8623 to manage your Friendica account but also allows Mastodon accounts to view ActivityPub groups in an intuitive way like for Friendica users. Now it is finally available on the alternative store most appreciated by the #OpenSource community
Well, @Mastodon has started closing stale bugs on their tracker telling me to reproduce on a newer version and resubmit, even though the ticket invites them to a theoretical discussion rather than being a technical problem. It's clear to me that the dude that closed it hasn't even read the issue.
A good time to link Drew's wisdom about bug tickets: https://drewdevault.com/2021/10/26/stalebot.html
> ...a different way of thinking about issues:
> a place for motivated users to collaborate on narrowing down the problem and planning a potential fix.
> A space for the community to work, rather than an action item for you to deal with personally.
UIの分かりやすさは完全に好みの問題だと思うので、始めてFediverseに来る人はMastodonとMisskey両方試してみて欲しい。
私はMastodonが分かりやすい！とは言わないが、Misskeyの方が分かりにくいので…
・MastodonとMisskey
・LTL有りとLTL無し
サヨナラは最低でもこれだけは両方試してからでも遅くないので…！！
Greetings,
Heard about this platform and thought I'd give it a go. I hope that everyone is having a good day.
It seems that #Bluesky is at the moment not allowing the creation of more bridges from #Mastodon. I created mine on Friday (at night), and it's still not available. It could be due to the great demand they're experiencing or it could be more permanent. We'll see...

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.
I’ve been on #Mastodon for two years now, and I have to say, again, that it scratches the same itch that #Hellsite used to ten years ago.
So, thank you to all you fine folks! *We* are the ones who make this #community wonderful!
people aren't going to hang about and wait for approval to try out the fediverse
its about time other measures are embedded into the software to allow admins more tools to combat bad actors rather than just closing all the doors
#Mastodon だと For You タグのかわりにハッシュタグをフォローするとなんとなく自分の指向に合ったポストがホームタイムラインに流れてくるのでおすすめしたい。

“BlueSky is just like old Twitter.”
Yeah, I loved old Twitter, too, but doesn’t that give you cause for concern? What’s preventing it from becoming the version of a Twitter we hate?
Also, repeat after me: Just saying it’s decentralized doesn’t mean it’s actually decentralized.
I'm going to have to apologize a bit for the BlueSky slander I've been spreading. I did not realize it's actually open source and federated too. It just has its own protocol instead of ActivityPub.
I'm sticking with Mastodon, but I'm a little less upset now about BlueSky's recent prominence
Updated #BlueSky my handle!

Aww yiss. No worries, though. #Mastodon is my primary home. But it's good to diversify. Let's not put our eggs in one basket ever again. :P
(I'm not putting much effort into #Threads though. Already has that corporate stink about it. 🤢)
After using #Mastodon for a little bit now, I decided to actually press the mysterious "Bookmark" button to see what it did. I was nervous, hovering the pointer over it for a moment, feeling my heart beating faster, and then.. "click". I did it! ... Suddenly... a portal opened up in front of me. These weird alien chicken like creatures came out of it, which then jumped out of the window, and the portal disappeared. Everything was silent again. I still don't know what that button is actually for.

@soaproot @eliotlash.com It's actually been really refreshing getting a first-hand experience of #bluesky. They have some nice QoL features lacking in #Mastodon like quote posts (with opt-out), reply controls, portable data, thread composition, and community-generated feeds you can subscribe to. But more importantly I am reconnecting with a lot of people I knew from birdsite/IRL that never made their way over here (or I never found them here at least.)
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!
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.
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.
On Mastodon, a newly introduced feature allows you to link your blog articles to your Fediverse account. I recently added this feature to my Hugo Blog and wrote down the necessary steps: https://kotthoff.dev/posts/2024/mastodon-tag/

One of the worst misfeatures of #Mastodon from a safety angle: If you get an abusive reply to your post, you can't remove it even by blocking the person. Even after blocking, your server still shows the abusive reply to everyone else.
There has been a patch ready to fix this for 2 years, 6 months, and 1 day. @Gargron has not approved it, and has provided *zero* explanation for why he will not allow it to be merged.
I don't really like BlueSky. There are weird things that don't work. If I post a GIF it isn't animated. Labels/tags don't seem to work well. I can't even figure out how to copy my BlueSky profile link.
I wish I liked Mastodon more because it's probably the most independent of all of the social networks. It's a bit clunky in places though. I wonder why people fleeing from billionaires didn't rush here though, and help improve it?
#bluesky is not decentralized like #email. that's the federated model of #ActivityPub.
the mediated model of #ATproto for email would be "all emails going thru gmail servers, while you could store your inbox/outbox elsewhere with a domain name you choose, but if gmail servers go down, absolutely no one would be able to send an email".
exactly what we saw with the bluesky outages. this doesn't happen to actually decentralized email or #mastodon servers. #SocialWeb
Hi folks! Would you benefit from image and video editing built into Fediverse Web apps like Mastodon, GoToSocial and Pixelfed?
I'm a Web developer working on media editing tools with funding from @NGIZero, and I'm looking for feedback.

Friendly reminder, if a cable is cut somewhere in the world, #mastodon will not go down.
Why? Because it is truly decentralized.
The #bluesky marketing doesn't hold up when compared to the facts.

"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?

Mastodon’s weaknesses and how to fix them
https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html
Aujourd'hui, ça fait donc 2 ans que je me suis installée sur le #fediverse ! 🎉
J'y ai rencontré des gens formidables, dont certains sont devenus des amis IRL.
Même si les réseaux sont avant tout un outil de travail pour moi, je viens ici avec joie pour discuter de tout et de rien.
Merci à Piaille.fr de m'avoir accueillie et à vous tous.tes pour nos discussions ❤️
C'est reparti pour une nouvelle année !

Heya @jerry, a good friend of mine is asking about what it'd take to host a Mastodon instance for ~1000 users. Since you've been through it all do you have any advice/resources/etc... I could pass along to help set him up for success out of the gate?

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…
On Mastodon, you never see all replies, especially if you host a small instance.
GoToSocial and IceShrimp.NET do a fetch all replies when you open the detail of a post.
This feature may finally be on its way to Mastodon!
Hoping it gets a UI indicator showing the reply retrieval progress. Right now, that is lacking in other software, you have to refresh the screen after a bit of time has passed and then see them, not ideal.

There is also a tonne of work that goes into trying to improve the moderation tools and make them clearer and more usable. Like, it can easily be hours of making small tweaks in one direction or another, sharing work, discussing it with people, implementing feedback, etc.
You can see a bit of that in the original post's linked pull request, where you can see my initial work, and then work after I've had someone reviewing it (they did so privately)
Okay, really starting to get happy with where my idea for redesigning the Instance Details page in the #Mastodon Moderation tools is going: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/32948#issuecomment-2484509344 (there's screenshots!)
I think this makes a lot more sense as far as how information is organised on these pages.
Opened two new Mastodon issues with ideas that could improve moderation processes, would be interested in hearing what people think:
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/32962
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/32963
I've also been working more on other admin/moderation pages more too, and work is hopefully able to move forwards and land soon-ish.

If the top 10% posting on #Threads and #Bluesky federate/bridge, you can basically get all the content on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.
Maybe with a certain follower number you could get bridged auomatically, @snarfed.org? Could be a middle ground between all opt-in vs. all opt-out?
On the #Vergecast @imdavidpierce said something like: On every #SocialNetwork 90% of the users read, 9% post a bit and 1% post almost everything.
This does sound right, and for #Mastodon, #Threads and #Bluesky it would mean, that they don't need to be connected fully. 👇🏼

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?
It's time #Mastodon supported multiple domain names per instance, allowing the users to use their own domain name for identity.
The issue has been open for 7+ years now: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/2668
I'm still against quote posts on the Fediverse.
I have never seen a quote post that would not have been better as a reply, where original author can be included in the discussion.
Sigh. I'm happy to mark #spam as such and tell everybody who is also affected, but if it takes 10+ clicks in two different dialogues I guess I'll soon stop.
Does anyone know if somebody submitted a RFE to improve this #mastodon behaviour or if some improvements in that area are in the works already?
A warm welcome to some of our newest members!

@[email protected] · Reply to Mister Dave's post
if you want to understand what's wrong with #mastodon, listen to some black people. listen to some women. listen to some queer people. I'll post some links in a bit for those who don't know, but I'm not here to convince mastodon apologists. I'm interested in joining the conversation on how (if?) #ActivityPub can be used in a way that overcomes mastodon's problems.
What does a safe, inclusive microposting protocol on top of #ActivityPub look like? #mastodon is very clearly not it; there are flaws baked in, and the questionably-BDFL is not interested in feedback from marginalized people.
Which just means that we'll have to build it ourselves, without him.
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.

We’re getting it wrong when we tell folks that #Mastodon is just like “Old #Twitter”. If you want that, that’s #Bluesky. Mastodon is a different kind of place.
This is a more intimate community that discourages “influencing” because there’s no profit motive for eyeballs. The microblogging approach may look similar to Twitter but the way the communities form and conversations evolve is fundamentally different.
It’s no uptopia; we’ve got a shitload of work to do to make it safer.

We need to lead which sometimes results in needing to slow down feature development to ensure all aspects are considered.
Yes, sometimes big regressions make it in, but they're usually something to be avoided at all costs, and we prioritise fixing a bunch of bugs & performance issues.
And yes, there's our own internal issues with how we work that slows us down, but there's a lot of work going into improving that situation too.
@[email protected] · Reply to Emelia 👸🏻's post
Being responsible and careful is a necessity when you carry 70% of installed software by user count.
If we roughly implement things or release stuff without properly testing it and finding rough edges, we risk breaking or making worse, the Fediverse experience for 70% of all its users — that's a huge responsibility.
Trust and safety *must* be considered, protocol design and interoperability with other software is a must, not a nice to have.
When you consider relative install sizes of various Fediverse software, it becomes clear why #Mastodon often needs to move in ways that ensure we don't break things and do right by all to ensure interoperability and trust & safety in the new things we put out — move fast and break things isn't an option.
I find it utterly unfair that Bluesky is now booming, the press is talking about it a lot, while Mastodon _is_ decentralized, older, provides more features, and is based on standards. Why people keep rejecting these techs? Why the choice is rarely made in favor of simple, standard-based, open, community-driven solutions?
This isn’t my project but I think it is an interesting question. What makes these solutions appealing or not?
Sending this out to #Bluesky from #Mastodon.
I hope this of you on Bluesky would consider following https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy over there so that your posts are bridged over to the #Fediverse so we can interact with each other without changing platforms.
People here are all bemoaning what #Mastodon is doing wrong to not be gaining all these millions of new users. We're not doing anything wrong. We're being Mastodon. We aren't Walmart, we're those little shops in the sidestreets owned by all kinds of people doing interesting, wonderful stuff. We're doing exactly the right thing by just carrying on being ourselves.
#Bluesky are like Walmart. Maybe some people think it's Waitrose, but let's settle on Tesco.
Just a reminder: everything you do on social media is public. Even if you delete a post on your instance, it can still exist on other instances, in the cache of search engines or private databases.
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.

#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。

Ahora que está sucediendo la enésima migración masiva desde #twitter hay una cosilla que me viene a la mente.
¿Por qué los organismos gubernamentales de #espana no están todos en #mastodon ? y no digo que se creen una cuenta, digo que por qué no tiene una instancia oficial.
¿Por qué el gobierno de #España no crea una instancia oficial donde tenga las cuentas de todo lo relacionado con el gobierno y autonomías?
Solo para ellos, sin posibilidad de crear cuentas de usuarios.
Sería una forma fiable de tener información oficial real, actualizada y que puede ser consumida y distribuida a cualquier otra red que se quiera.

Obviously, being on #Mastodon chimes with a lot of the impulses of the #radio activists to build an #infrastructure over which people, not corporations, have control
But also, there are tensions between a roll-your-own-tech answer to problems of democratic control over communication, & the fact that a lot of everyday people, myself included actually, may want to participate on equal footing without having to know enough technically to spin up our own servers or build our own transmitters 6/?
For anyone who wants less US politics in their timeline these next four years, here's a list of accounts you might want to mute or block. (I blocked a few of them.) Of course, filtering keywords is another approach that may work better for you — or you could do a bit of both.
The problem is that many of the accounts listed cover more than just politics — and 404 Media (which is great) is more about tech than politics. But some are pure politics!

¡Bienvenida a la gente nueva que estáis probando esto de #Mastodon!
Aquí os dejo una pequeña guía de protocolo que espero que os pueda servir:
- Rellenad vuestro perfil, poned vuestra bio y fijad un mensaje de introducción para presentaros. Si seguís a alguien con un perfil vacío, no se despierta mucha confianza.
- Poned ALT en todas las fotos. Para describir lo que hay, hacedlo como si se lo estuvierais contando a alguien por teléfono.
- ¡Usad hashtags! Así es más fácil conectar por un tema.

From my interactions with Mastodon users, all of these facts aren't accepted by them at all, they really start to strongly defend their beliefs, starting to talking about either reputation or behavement of a person/company, or either their past actions. Guess what? I don't care about anything of that; I just need a good product that worth to use.
I'll add more to that list, if I'll think of any.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!
But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.
Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

📊First results from our #research project on the role of #Mastodon in #academia are in. n=346
1️⃣94.7% say they would increase their professional use of Mastodon if more academic peers from their field joined the platform
2️⃣71.4% report a lack of institutional support for using Mastodon
3️⃣66.1% indicate their professional Mastodon use would increase if their organizations were present on Mastodon
Stay tuned for more results.
You want to promote #Mastodon / the #Fediverse? The Guardian searches opinions for a feature: "have you migrated between social media platforms recently? We would like to hear from people who have recently switched social media platforms about their reasons why." https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/13/tell-us-have-you-migrated-between-social-media-platforms-recently (*everything* is explained in the link, also the possibility to use SecureDrop).
So, when #Bluesky get's its first big problem and subsequent exodus, will #Mastodon be ready and have #StarterPacks by then? Because, they are really a gamechanger in #onboarding and when migrating en masse.

#Mastodon is not an alternative to Twitter!
It is not and should not be. Because Twitter is a social network that makes money with the data of its users, promotes hate speech, violence, aggressiveness, selfishness, individualism, competition for likes, rt and followers.
#Twitter does not generate social relationships based on empathy, solidarity or collective effort.
For all these reasons, Mastodon should not be another twitter. It is another social network for better social relationships

@Orca @arvindv @tintvrtkovic @danilo @thisismissem I haven’t purchased any stupid landfill-bound #Mastodon merch, but I *am* personally funding @thisismissem because she is the *only* #Fedi developer I have encountered who actually cares about building good software that works for real people. What little I have heard from this Gargron character hasn’t been very good. He doesn’t seem to be much concerned with anything that actually matters to the folks trying to build community here.
Murmel doesn’t rely on ads or hidden fees, and we aim to keep it that way. By requiring a credit card at signup, we’re building a sustainable, user-funded service that values you, not ad revenue. Cancel anytime, no hassle! #mastodon #murmel https://murmel.social
Is it really the case that just one person decides of what modifications go into the main Mastodon code? Is that how open source projects generally work? That doesn't seem great. But it would explain why Mastodon is so slow to improve.
Is the decision structure the same for Mastodon forks like glitch-soc? If so it seems maybe we should all use that instead? Works pretty well on our server. :)
PS: I am ignorant of how all these things work but always happy to learn.
@thisismissem thank you for speaking out in such a polite manner and thank you for your contributions to #Mastodon!
If you leave X or Twitter (or however you choose to refer to it), what should you do with your account? Is it enough to simply delete it? @Gizmodo has tips. #X #Twitter #Bluesky #Mastodon #Threads #SocialMedia #Tech #Technology #ElonMusk https://flip.it/GrBbNC

Hello Bluesky here from Mastodon 👋
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.

I note some accounts have a huge amount of followers, but barely follow anyone back. Can I just give my perhaps unpopular take that these people don’t fundamentally understand how the fediverse works?
The way ActivityPub works is you follow people and have followers. This strengthens the federation communication, making the wider community more accessible for everyone.
If you come across an account that remotely posts interesting content, follow them.
If you follow a lot of people and have an overwhelming timeline: use lists. Put people on lists that you can index in whatever way you like. I organise mine based on subjects people post mostly on.
That’s all. Carry on ☺️

@thisismissem @Gargron This public callout is brave and not baseless, thank you Emelia for bringing up the issue and especially for your hard work... This is actually something that I've seen and last time when @renchap was wondering about why I'm hesitant writing some UI work or sending SVG stuff ideas to your way in a form of a PR, this is one of the reasons. If the huge time invested goes unnoticed or even exploited, its better to put your efforts to a fork or a mod instead.
The Mastodon core team should have a serious internal conversation about this. Doesn't really welcome anyone to contribute.
Got a .mp4 file sent to my #mastodon instance that caused very high CPU load and prevented all further processing. The file was 6MB. I couldn't get the file out of the container before it was eventually killed by kubernetes.

Over the past few days a series of miscommunications between @Gargron, the @MastodonEngineering team, and myself occurred. These did push me to a point of outrage, leading to the original version of this post.
I'm happy to continue spending the time, money, and effort contributing to #Mastodon, and wish to work with the team and Eugen to find better ways to work together.
The team is super busy, need more funding & staff to achieve the full potential.
Let's work on working better together.
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.

For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

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
Why Mookie does what he does.
Just rediscovered:
https://followgraph.vercel.app
If you're looking for more people to follow, this tool scans who you follow and has suggestions. Neat!
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?

Yes. #Mastodon should adopt the kind of "starter packs" developed by #Bluesky.

Wie ich jetzt sehe, bei Zugänglichkeit und Nutzerfreundlichkeit, könnten paar Dinge anders gemacht werden. Im Beispiel, neuer Nutzer Dieter kommt auf Mastodon, und interessiert sich hauptsächlich für Sport, egal von welchem News-Outlet. Und nun kann er zwar hashtags folgen, bzw. Sportsektionen der News-Bots folgen - aber diese muss sich erstmal raussuchen. Und schneller wäre für Dieter, wenn er innerhalb von Klick einer Sammlung an Sport-Accounts folgen kann.
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.

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.

As more people are abandoning X, again, perhaps my short introduction to Mastodon might be of use, if you'd like to share it with your friends?
Two years ago today, I wrote my first post on #Mastodon after lurking for months. I was welcomed in torrent of kindness, and am pleased to report my initial impression has held true.
I've found community among people who love #Running, #Cycling, #Ottawa, #Horror, and #FilmMaking here (among others).
We still have so much work to do to make this a better, safer place for all.
I have learned so much from so many.

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.

What I love about Mastodon is that how open it is. I am a very open person, too. As long as I remember I have loved transparecy in things I do. Back in the early 2000s I wrote a diary online (still do!) and some older Internet user sent me an email: "I wonder why you are openly telling about these things, isn't it dangerous?". I didn't tell my secrets. It was an ordinary day of a school boy nerd. Yes, sometimes I do worry about my data online. The things I expose, in a sense. However, I think I have the IQ for not telling something that I wouldn't write on a billboard. Openness has more pros than cons. With great power comes great responsibility.
I believe openness and open source brings safety and increases trust. To be clear, transparency and openness does NOT reduce privacy or data protection. On the contrary.
Mastodon's code is out in the open, its users are scattered on their own servers and the mentality generally is open and sincere. It makes me feel most at home.
@rolle I only seem to get these large scrollbars that won't go away when my computer is connected to some large, high resolution displays. Is there any way to make them go away, like they do on ordinary displays?
was finally asleep when the smell of burning wood hit me. woke up, ran to the kitchen, checked my heated blanket, checked all the rooms.
apparently there are fires in some New Jersey forests and the wind is blowing so hard we are getting hit by the smoke.
a 2025 #fediverse #Mastodon priority should be to rebuild the PSA megaphone we lost with #Xitter. not just for USA but the world over. look at happened in Valencia. we need country channels.
ok, back to sleep.

В Mastodon можно создать свой инстанс со своими правилами: длина постов, сжатие медиа, форматирование - всё настраивается. Да, это дорого и не всегда эффективно (особенно часть с видео), но возможно.
Bluesky же полагается на централизованный реестр AT Protocol, что делает создание своих инстансов (и своих правил) невозможным (ваши PDS значат не так много в данном случае). В плане устойчивости #Mastodon выигрывает, плюс #Bluesky еще предстоит решить вопрос монетизации в рамках протокола.

Mastodon is notoriously a difficult place for new users to establish themselves and learn their way around. Now, of all times, it is important for us to throw our doors open and welcome newcomers. Bashing them about transgressions of rules they don't yet understand isn't helpful. Friendly reminders to help them understand may be. And most of all help them find their People. Finding some folks have a very incorrect impression of #Mastodon.

#Mastodon, we have a troll problem.
Increasingly I discover Russian sympathisers and trolls who reply to my posts with content I cannot see. I only discover these replies because other users react to them.
Attached is an example where @Gurre replies to a troll (pic 1), but I cannot scroll upwards and see the troll's post.
This seems to allow an attacker to attach content to my posts, without me being able to see it and block him.
I have seen this exploit a number of times.

I joined Twitter in 2008, making 7,500 posts through the years. I deactivated my X account today.
I greatly curtailed my usage of the platform since November 2023, when my employer @Flipboard pulled back from engagement. And I haven't posted since April but kept it open for work reasons (to monitor news, etc.).
Why today? The U.S. election made clear how many of my fellow Americans live entirely in "alternative facts" ecosystems. I no longer wish to participate in such a platform — so rife with unchecked misinformation and disinformation ... basically an outrage machine where the algorithm rewards lies and conspiracy theories.
If you're still on X, why?
I screenshot my profile for posterity. And here's also Flipboard's 2023 announcement.

Our mission is more urgent than ever. Onwards, always.

It's a long road to write a book, but I got word that, assuming the production goes as planned, Move Slowly and Build Bridges, my book about Mastodon and the ActivityPub-based fediverse, will be out from Oxford UP around August of next year!
Still a lot of work to do behind the scenes: editing, proofing, indexing. But I'm already giving book talks and would be happy to do so if you want me to visit your class/university to talk about the fediverse!
Hello #Mastodon!
I am new and curious with lurker tendencies. Occasionally, I'll share a thought or image. This is my lovely Coleus. It's called "Autumn Sunset", I believe.

Jeg har en tilståelse å komme med. Jeg skjønner fortsatt ikke dette med føderasjon og instanser helt. Jeg har ryddet litt i følgelistene mine og ser at noen brukere har skiftet instanser opptil flere ganger, og jeg lurer på hvilke erfaringer de har. Hvis man allikevel (gjerne via serverinstillinger på instansen) fødererer inn poster fra andre servere, hva er det som endrer seg bortsett fra tidslinjer>på denne serveren?
Hva søkte dere, og fant dere det?

🎉 Big News: Threads are now in Openvibe! 🐙 Your most requested feature has arrived – cross post directly to Threads.
More amazing features are on the way as the Threads API evolves.
Openvibe - #Mastodon #Threads #Bluesky #Nostr in one iOS and Android app 🐙
After a good question another chart:
This one shows the #traffic to heise.de via #X/#Twitter (as a whole), (only!!) our account @heiseonline on #Mastodon (so also from the #Fediverse), our account on #Bluesky and #Threads (as a whole again) – weekly since the beginning of 2022..
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.

"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."

Hello everyone!
I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.
I would be gratful if you would participate in my survey:
(The link is deactivated now)
It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.
Thank you!

Another week, another increase for @heiseonline
#Mastodon keeps growing (the last time, we got this much #traffic, was at the beginning of the year), #Bluesky, too. No big jumps, but we'll see, where it leads.
#Threads still brings very little, #Twitter stays weak.
As always, this is the traffic to heise.de via the different social media platforms.
Edit: In the graph, Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads are stacked together (as they are they biggest Twitter-alternatives).
2nd Edit: Graph added.

Uff. Während das Anpassen der erlaubten Zeichenzahl mittlerweile äußert simpel ist, nein, noch nicht so simpel, dass man das einfach in der Administrationsoberfläche machen kann, ist das Aktualisieren auf Mastodon 4.3.0 bzw. 4.3.1 von einer unter 4.3.0 liegenden Version nicht ganz so trivial. Insbesondere wenn man nebenbei auch Node.js, ruby etc. auf eine höhere Version bringen will.
Auf unserem Server, Illyachan, läuft Debian 11, Bullseye.
Ich halte die Pakete dabei mit den Bordeigenen Mitteln möglichst aktuell.
Trotzdem war Node.js und Ruby schon recht alt.
Die folgenden Schritte habe ich ausgeführt um am Ende bei Mastodon 4.3.1, Ruby 3.3.5p100, Yarn 4.5.1, Node.js 20.18.0 und npm 10.4.0 zu erhalten.
(Ich möchte nicht garantieren, dass die untenstehenden Befehle wirklich so bei jedem das Gleiche ergeben werden. Wenn es so einfach wäre, hätte ich inkl. Deinstallationen, Nachlesen und Fehler beseitigen nicht alles in allem 4 h gebraucht. Immerhin hat hier jemand im System herumgestochert, der eigentlich von nix ne Ahnung hat.)
Das "git stash" war notwendig, weil ich wegen der Zeichenbegrenzung Änderungen am Code vorgenommen hatte.
```
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable
sudo npm install -g [email protected]
sudo su mastodon
cd /home/mastodon/live
which ruby-build
ls "$(rbenv root)"/plugins git -C "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build pull
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.3.5
rbenv local 3.3.5
yarn init -2
yarn set version 4.5.1
exit
sudo reboot
sudo su mastodon
git fetch --tags
git stash rm .yarnrc.yml
git checkout v4.3.0
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
bundle install
yarn install --immutable
RAILS_ENV=production bin/rails db:encryption:init
```
Die drei ausgegebenen Variablen mit den Werten in die .env.production kopieren.
```
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true
SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec
rails db:migrate
exit
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming
sudo reboot
```
Die Installation war ein "voller Erfolg": Mastodon quittierte jeden Aufruf mit dem sicherlich jedem bekannten Fehlerbild. Ich hab das einfach ignoriert und mit der Installation von 4.3.1 weitergemacht.
```
sudo su mastodon cd /home/mastodon/live
git fetch --tags
git checkout v4.3.1
bundle install
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
exit sudo
systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming
```
Ein kurzer Test: Huch? Läuft. Dann ging es nur noch an die Aufhebung der Zeichenbegrenzung. Die hat übrigens Johannes Mirus sehr schön auf seiner Seite dokumentiert: https://1ppm.de/2024/07/zeichenlimit-bei-mastodon-erhoehen/
```
su - mastodon
cd /home/mastodon/live/app/validators/
nano -w status_length_validator.rb
```
--> 3. Zeile: aus 500 mach 50000 (oder halt was anderes)
```
exit
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming
```
So. läuft wieder.

Twitter’s decline has sparked interest in alternatives like #Bluesky, #Threads, and #Mastodon. In my latest video, I dive into what these platforms offer and how they stack up after a year away from Twitter. Watch here: https://youtu.be/lKnMtZTI_9E?si=C4-UaBI1IQBM7VG6 #Youtube #Fediverse #opensource
Still getting used to the little ALT button moving from the lower left to the lower right on the Mastodon web interface with the move to V4.3.1. (That's not a problem at all — just something my brain isn't quite used to yet.)
But I really like that you can now click on the ALT button to see the alt text!
On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:

Fediverse quo vadis?
.
.
Die Idee des #Fediverse’ ist gut.
Die Idee von #Mastodon ist gut.
Die Idee der #ActivityPub ist gut.
.
.
Dennoch fliegt die Kiste noch immer nicht.
Kulturschaffende, Politiker usw. ziehen sich zurück, sind Cross-Pister, bridgen.
Die inhaltliche Vielfalt nimmt ab.
.
.
Stattdessen werden commercielle Datenschnüffler (Threads u.a.) angeflanscht u Plüschtiere (Merch) verkauft.
Die Strategie ist gescheitert. Kein quantitatives o qualitatives Wachstum.
.
.
Was fehlt?
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?
Firstly, I want to say thank you so much! --
Everyone's been SO wonderful to speak with, generously sharing opinions and tips about Mastodon, and kindly helping me feel welcomed in this community so far! Since I’m still new, I wanted to again share that I’m an Art and design student from he University of Michigan, using Mastodon as my social media platform to study for my UI/UX class.
If I can gather some feedback from whomever would like to share, I am curious to find out if you feel more free to share your opinions with the Mastodon community vs other social media platforms? And why you think that might be?
#socialmedia #art #MastoArt #mastodon #introduction
"Your platform can do all the right things for users, and I think Mastodon does a lot right. But none of the good things will stick if you can't show them where the people are. People, not platforms. People."
In this issue of Human-Generated Content, I discuss the waves of migrations to Bluesky from X & Threads, Bluesky's latest funding round, and why #Mastodon isn't seeing a similar uptick of users.
Read here: https://www.augment.ink/human-generated-content-8/

What exactly does this right-left graphic mean and claim?
Mitra, honestly, isn't a bad social network.....the problem is, as well as with Friendica, that Mastodon killed Fediverse.
Which means small amount of users for other social networks that use Activity Pub protocol.

Small update for DuckDuckSocial
Added the ability to customize date (either absolute date or relative to current date)
Added ability to automatically filter out words before performing search (probably only useful to me but someone else might have a purpose for it). And I probably posted about this before but I couldn't find it so just so you're aware you don't need an API key for the web version (still required for Android extension)

#Linux #Infosec #Cybersecurity
My takeaway I'm getting right now from Bluesky after having more conversations and reading more documents is that it's a lot like Mastodon if only mastodon.social existed.
It's a network with some very cool ideas that could be (maybe even easily) federated and decentralized, but in practice I don't think it is (this is not to say that nothing is decentralized, just that the main network isn't).
Am I the only person left on the planet who doesn't want their #browser in #fullscreen mode?
Thanks @stefano for upgrading the instance obviously without any issues! But a little boo to #mastodon for the new appearance that needlessly consumes even *more* horizontal space than before (using the "advanced" UI), which now prompted me to show it scaled to 90% in chromium 🙄

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.
@[email protected] · Reply to Martin Holland's post
Trotzdem sind wir damit wohl eine riesige Ausnahme, bei @mediapart bspw. liefert #X/ #Twitter noch etwa 100 Mal so viel Traffic wie #Mastodon. Obwohl deren Account hier in etwa genauso groß ist, wie @heiseonline.
Und noch etwas anders: Zusammen liefern die vier sozialen Netze heise.de etwa halb so viel Traffic, wie Twitter noch Anfang 2022 ganz alleine.
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.

My mind has been whirling all night so therefore I'm tired. I wrote this when I gave up trying to sleep.
Good morning. Bore da.
Buenos dias.Guten morgen. Buongiorno.
Recently, I've noticed - and I know others have as well - fewer people posting on #Mastodon. It's also possible they are hard to find when they do post. And some of the more prolific #cybersecurity folks have also stopped posting here. So the question is why?
Some have suggested the search engine doesn't work for them. This might not be the only answer, but let's start here:
Does Mastodon's search function work for you?
| Option | Voters |
|---|---|
| Yes | 8 (38%) |
| No | 6 (29%) |
| Well, it's like this ... | 7 (33%) |

So Mastodoners, I have been here for about two years and generally like the quality of conversation here much more than the other place. However, I am curious to know your opinions on which #instances to join. Do you prefer a large instance with many users or a much smaller one?
Quality is better than quantity, but silence isn't always golden.

if i have a mastodon page open, lets say @[email protected] and go to favorite a post or follow the user, itll prompt me to pick my instance (and subsequently to log in, if I am not already).
but when i have a video for peertube (like this super cool music coding one https://vid.pretok.tv/w/4e899b56-20ec-405b-8dfd-39e1bcc6fcc1 by @luka ) and i want to give it a thumbs up, or better yet, to follow the channel i cant seem to figure out how to login since my account is on a different instance. it takes me to a login page, but when i put in my full handle, with instance and everything, it doesnt go through as if it expects a login on that particular server.
so are peertube instances simply unfederated?
One thing #Mastodon (and other Fediverse server software) could do to combat spam from abandoned instances is improve the invite system. Currently it's all or nothing. Users can either create infinite invites that never expire or none at all.
Why not implement more granular invites? Eg each user can invite x users after x time? Moderators can issue more invites on request or bar certain users from creating invites.
Invites should also bypass the moderation when sign ups are moderated.
From @pluralistic: "You should be using an #RSS reader."
https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/#read-receipts-are-you-kidding-me-seriously-fuck-that-noise
One of the best arguments for RSS you'll ever find.
I was a heavy user of #GoogleReader until G pulled the plug. I haven't found an adequate replacement since then. And I've tried many.
I'm excited by the possibilities of #Mastodon as an RSS reader. If you want to follow a site with an RSS feed, you can follow it on Mastodon with @birb.
I follow dozens of RSS feeds on Mastodon & add new ones almost every day.
I know that follower count doesn't really matter on the #Fediverse, but still, I am so grateful that 1,000 people have found my shenanigans entertaining enough to follow me. Thank you all!
I am excited to announce that Input Objects, the parent company of Wide Angle Analytics @wideangle is yet again top-tier corporate sponsor of Mastodon!
Go for freedom.
Go for privacy.
Go for being social.
People of Mastodon!
I am leaving Twitter. Forever.
There's one problem. I would like to re-follow all of Twitter accounts that had joined Fediverse.
Do you know any third-party services that would let me do so? Any browser extensions? Help welcome.

If you'd like to share a concise, beginner-friendly introduction to #Mastodon with your friends considering to leave X, give this a try!
Hey everyone! 
If you’re looking for a community of gamers which is also dedicated to the Fediverse, then look no further than #TheGamersTavern!
We welcome everyone to our community, and love to talk about gaming, tech, and everything inbetween.
We currently self-host instances of these services:
#Mastodon
#PeerTube
#Owncast
#Matrix - (bridged with #Discord)
You can find all the links here! - https://linktr.ee/thegamerstavern
We’d love to see you there. 💜
Version 4.0 of my #introduction toot, as time flies and things change, a lot.
Hey everyone! I'm Alex, an italian 39 years old IT Architect (see personal account: @ItsMeAlex), deeply in love with #Videogames
I'm the innkeeper of The Gamer's Tavern, a cozy #gaming #community fully committed to the #Fediverse, but most of all, safe and full of amazing people.
We're self-hosting these services:
- #Mastodon
- #Peertube
- #Owncast
- #Matrix

#Twitter: "Gonna be pwning n00bz on my Twitch channel in 20 minutes! Follow or die!"
#Mastodon: "I am a nuclear biologist, gardener, writer, and developer. I recently rewrote the code to the entire web, baked a lovely shepherd's pie, forged a Damascus steel sword for my wife, and wrote an entire book of prayers in Old English for my children."
I hope everyone's enjoying the new features and improvements of Mastodon v4.3 that we deployed yesterday on Vivaldi Social.
A huge thank you to @Gargron and his small, but hard-working team who I know have spent a lot of time on this one!
Personally I'm particularly enjoying the grouped notifications, along with the totally revamped and redesigned compose form. 
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.
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.
Hello #Mastodon!
Found out some friends I want to keep in touch with but aren't on Facebook are here, so I'm trying it out.
Hello #Mastodon! This is my 2nd attempt here because I've heard good things and I want to get rid of Twitter tbh
Hooray, Elon! #Mastodon or #Fediverse as a whole really needs to copy this revolutionary blocking feature from #Twitter.
Does a link become trending on #Mastodon if only *one* account posts it, but hundreds of others boost it?
@[email protected] · Reply to The Many Voices of Anne Ahlert's post
You also cannot base your data only on the Mastodon app user count. There are multiple apps to access #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, including #Tusky #Moshidon #Megalodon and #Tooot. Not everyone accesses Mastodon through the same doors.
@[email protected] · Reply to Sarah Perez 💙's post
FYI...
At last count, #Bluesky has around 5 Million users and #Mastodon has around 15.5 Million users. Unlike #Xitter, none of the Mastodon accounts are bots created merely to build the follower counts of celebrities, manipulate voters, and bring in ad dollars.
Almost all of the accounts here are real people engaging in positive, uplifting feed. Trolls have no algorithm to help them build a following. Ads are not allowed.
There is no "competition" for that.
https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/113270983367781353
Why #mastodon, why? A mastodon.social reply to a comment in one of my #lemmy posts federated only to its originating instance but not to the main instance. This means that only people in one lemmy instance can see it, but no other instance can! Including me, the person who created the main post and the damn community moderators! This means that someone on mastodon can post something bannable and we can't see it to react to it!
The mastodon - lemmy interaction really needs to be fixed
Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?
Context: this is for publishing posts.
Mastodon currently doesn't support alt text for profile avatars and headers, if you've some rails experience, and you'd like to work on this, this is a good first issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10313
(See Renchap's comment)
I’ve been using #Mastodon and #Bluesky for a while now and I gotta say, the mobile app experience in Bluesky is superior!
I took a look under the hood and Bluesky is built using React Native while Mastodon has native applications, although native experiences can be great, Mastodon’s isn’t.
I’m guessing that being able to write once run everywhere is a big factor here and probably the main reason why Bluesky feels so consistent.

Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.
We've updated Vivaldi Social to the latest Mastodon version 4.3! 
Fresh out of the oven we have:
🔔 Grouped notifications and detailed options for accepting, filtering and ignoring notifications from specific user groups (for example, people you don’t follow or who don’t follow you).
🖌️ Design and usability updates for the post composer, better looking link previews and more informative confirmation dialogs.
👤 Improved follow recommendations that will now additionally appear in the Home feed.
📝 Easier way to follow writers and journalists on Mastodon.
You can read the full release blog from the Mastodon team here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/.
Additionally we have:
🎨 Two new color options (Cherry and Lagoon) for the TangerineUI theme by @nileane as well as updates to the Bird UI theme by @rolle
🎖️ Recently added badges embellishing the avatars of Vivaldi supporters (more info on https://login.vivaldi.net/profile/donations).

もうすぐ #VivaldiSocial にも #Mastodon 4.3 が、、、くる。。。！！
After nearly two years of actively participating in the fediverse, I figured I'd put together my own guide for Mastodon, the platform I'm the most familiar with as a user.
I'm going to be honest, I don't work in computers, I have no idea what most people on #Mastodon are talking about. So many abbreviations, I'd need a glossary to even start.
Apologies I just post pretty lights and fancy dress costumes.
Why aren't the links on the @Blender account verified? Isn't it the official Blender account on Mastodon? Same for the @BlenderStudio account.
#blender #blender3D #3D #mastodon #mastodonverification #BlenderStudio
I'd love to hear something that you like about #Mastodon 4.3. It's been a long time in the works and I think our whole team could use some dopamine 🙂
Can I change my #mastodon username?
Steam now allows to add Mastodon links to game pages, if you are in one of the following instances 😮 🤯
Workaround for other instances: setting "https: // mastodon.gamedev.place/" + your user, for example "@ eibriel @ sigmoid.social" (without the spaces)

Another spam wave!
Mastodon filtered most of the notifications.
Here’s my problem with #Mastodon and the broader #Fedi. I follow amazing folks who fill my feed with countless awesome stuff.
I can’t keep up, and also have to show a ton of restraint to prevent flooding my own timeline with gobs of boosts.
Anyway, good problems to have, and I wish this abundance of awesome for you folks, too.

Installed both Tangerine UI and Bird UI as optional themes on my test mastodon instance. It's worth it just for the cute little animations when you boost, like or bookmark things. :)
I checked some newer #Mastodon clients such as #Kaiteki and #Meowstodon, and I got some quick impressions about them... Day 26 of #100DaysToOffload
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.
Reddit: Why is Mastodon struggling to survive?
The whole narrative is wrong here. My server is not struggling and will survive as long as I live.
Ladies and gentlemen - power is back!

Hell yeah.

Last night, I started creating a screenshot generator for #Mastodon, similar to Re: Toot on iOS. It's still in the alpha stage and needs some polish.
GitHub: https://github.com/Kvanrooyen/masto-img
Demo: https://masto-img.governorkeagan.com/
You can input a Mastodon post URL, and it will generate a downloadable image of the toot. As I'm not a #UI or #UX designer, it may not be the prettiest (for now).
Also, I'm open to name suggestions for the project!

#Mastodon4.3 - Mehr #Sicherheit und ein frischer Look
Wie der #Mastodon-Gründer #EugenRochko am Dienstag mitteilte, steht jetzt die Version 4.3 der #Microblogging-Anwendung im #Webbrowser zur Verfügung. Die Version 4.3 wurde während der letzten 11 Monate entwickelt, weshalb ihr vielleicht schon einige der Neuerungen gesehen habt. Mit der stabilen Version steht die Weiterentwicklung nun allen Anwender:innen zur Verfügung, sofern euer Serverbetreiber ein Update ...
https://gnulinux.ch/mastodon-4-3-mehr-sicherheit-und-ein-frischer-look
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.
I "caved" although I really like #Mastodon a lot.
I need eyeballs people and although I really distrust what X has become Lindsey Pelas is not ever coming on Mastodon and neither would her fans.
When I saw that it's possible to make 4000 character posts and keep able to edit posts with longer videos (passed the 100 mb Mastodon limit) I have to be honest about why I create on the internet.
When the new #Mastodon update came out, I did not like the UI change to the Content Warning container.
Now that I've had a chance to get used to it, I've decided I *really* don't like the changes.
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. Here I’m grateful to have my little calm feed of planes, geeky tech, fish, and funnies. Thanks to ya’ll for making this a reality for me!
#SocialMedia のモデレーション、最近はほとんどがユーザーのためというより、サービス側の都合が色濃く反映されてるケースが多い気がする。
発言するユーザーの母数を多くして、その中からスパムとかノイズを排除してユーザーがより興味のあるものを優先して見せる、というやり方は、実現すればサービスの強みになるし実現させたいのはわかるけど、仕組みがハックされやすいし、最近あんまりうまく機能してない印象。
#Threads はそもそものノイズのフィルタリングに苦労してるみたいだし、#X なんかはもう金を餌にノイズを集めてるカオスな感じだし。
だったらもう #Mastodon みたいに、インスタンスごとにクラスタの属性をはっきりさせて、そこから適度に分断したまま、同じインスタンスにいるユーザーとかフォローしあってるユーザーとのつながりを軸にゆるく他のインスタンスと連合している状態で時系列で流れるタイムラインを眺めていたほうがよっぽど平和だと感じる
スパムアカウントをみんなで報告・ブロック・ミュートするのが #Mastodon #Fediverse
スパムアカウントじゃないのに何故か BAN されちゃうのが #Threads 🧵
スパムアカウントと共にインプレッションと金を奪い合うのが #X ✖️
ということか…
the business model for good tech/media services is #value4value. you use it, you support it so that it sticks around and improves. we must make that easier, more direct, more automatic and normalized, but it's the obvious way forward. paywalls and ads both greatly lessen the personal and social value otherwise provided by internet services. #mastodon and other projects built on #ActivityPub embrace this. we still don't know what the #bluesky business model is. that worries me. #SocialWeb

lol, oh look, a load of stuff that doesn't happen on Mastodon...
Is anyone else having trouble accepting the changes to the #mastodon look? Why is this bothering me so much? I just don't think I can take one more thing right now.🤪 😁
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? 🤔
A new version is out!
Thanks for using Sabertooth!
In this release we:
- Added the ability to hide title bar on scroll.
- Added the ability to hide tabs on scroll.
- Fixed the bug with picking time for scheduled posts.
- Added moderation activities for admins.
- Updated the aspect ratio of server images.
- Updated theme settings.
- Updated accent color settings.
#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
The new deck mode in the #Mastodon WWW UI is awful.
How they've gone for collapsing various things to make them consume less real estate, and narrowing scrollbars, and yet ended up with being overall *wider* than before, is ridiculous.

I'm not a programmer or developer, but I love to program.
🧐 So, uh…why has the mood changed so suddenly on #Threads? How has Meta dropped the ball at this pivotal moment for the nascent social network?
Meanwhile, other social networks and the #Fediverse as a whole are kicking some serious ass. It’s a real shift in a short amount of time from just earlier in the summer, and I’m here to talk all about it…and how much I just love #Mastodon 4.3 + @TangerineUI 2.0. 😍

#PSA #Feditip #feditips #infrastructure #Mastodon #HowItWorks
Mastodon is built differently. Just like the birdsite, you won't see every toot in existence but the 'why' is different. On birdsite, an #algorithm decided. Here, it's your #social connections that truly, organically determine what you see.
It works because it gives you control over who you interact with, and the people you interact with shape the timelines of you and all your neighbors.

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.
Going into #Mastodon 4.3 I thought grouped notifications would be my favorite new feature, now I'm pretty sure Filtered Notifications is.
Well well well. I guess I should introduce myself a bit :-)

I discovered Mastodon back in April 2021, but then left, because at the time I was (and still is unfortunately) a Twitter user, when it was still called Twitter, when it felt like Twitter, when was Twitter's API used to be free and not paid.
And one of the things that I always wanted is to get verified, to get that blue checkmark badge, you know? Never got it.
I wanted to verify my identity so people would know that it was me and of course - who wouldn't want this, huh? - I wanted to be and look famous.
Of course I never got that many followers on that place, and never got verified :-(
At the time, one of the things that were popular on Twitter was #100DaysOfCode and I started using it at the time to get more discovery from people (I was interested in programming at the time and quite experimented with practicing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc, but then I understood it's not my cup of coffee and left that interest)
Plus, I started using the #followback challenge (which means that if you follow some people who participates in that trend, they will follow you back) and after I found out it worked, I started crazily follow insane amount of people and got 200 followers.
Of course, at the time, it was smart Twitter's moderation and not Elon's stupid moderation, so I got my account suspended very quickly.
I then applied to their form (if you've been a Twitter user you know what am I talking about and you're indeed aware) and they unbanned me. Then I got banned 2 more times and after getting banned for 3rd time, I finally quit Twitter. Nope, I didn't switched to Mastodon instead, I weren't aware that it will soon become popular, I just quit Twitter without looking for alternatives. Could you believe that, huh?
Well, ok, back to my story. When I quit Twitter, it was April 2021. They banned my account with no reason right on my birthday, on 14 April 2021, when my parents gifted me an Alexa device, I logged in to my Twitter account on it, and then, apparently Twitter suspected it was a suspicious login, so after getting suspended for the 3rd time, I had quit Twitter because I got tired of its stupid bans of my account.
So, 1 year had passed. It's April 2022, and, as I was browsing YouTube (I recently became privacy focused at that time, but that's another story that I will tell the other time), I started hearing more and more rumors that Elon Musk is about to buy Twitter. Unlike people like you, who prefer to freak about him being idiot, I didn't knew Elon that well, although I was aware of his existence, and I - guess what? - believed that he is going to save Twitter and give it the freakin' edit button I needed for years!
Well, he bought it. I don't know if anyone of you, as Twitter users remember that, but at the time, the first thing I noticed that he had implemented was the down button which looked like this -> ⬇️
The second curious thing I noticed is the "Twitter Blue" thing. I looked it up but it didn't interested me.
Then, you know, Elon had "unbought" Twitter, getting rid of his deal, but then he re-bought it.
Anyways, my story is, that at the time I was using an amazing app - have no idea if anyone of you used it back in day - which was kizie.co due to the fact I needed a better Twitter app since 2019.
I will not share my eventual reaction to Elon's stupid changes as he implemented them, but will say this: in May 2022, as I heard rumors people were leaving Twitter for Mastodon, I re-joined Mastodon this time at mstdn.social .
Sure, I liked it, but still preferred Twitter because the main 3D community was there and Blender artists, like Gleb Alexandrov and Captain Disillusion (both are here now BTW, although CD had stopped being active on Mastodon and still prefers Twitter. He is on Threads as well) and else artists.
BTW, if you can name please, what 3D artists and 3D news can I follow on here, I would very much appreciate it, because that was the reason I liked Twitter, and that's - yes that's - what gave me the Twitter vibe that I miss on here. If you know anyone on here who posts news about 3D artists (example: 80 LEVELS on Twitter) , is a 2D animator artist, is a 3D Artist, let me know, because I damn need that much to follow people like these and would be very grateful for this, thank you in advance!
But back to my story. So, in May 2022, I joined Mastodon, and then....when Elon started banning many accounts, - mstdn.social former and current probably remember - many Mastodon servers started becoming unavailable to use, and even Elon made fun of it.
I don't remember, but somewhere around in 2023 (probably after rebranding, oh yeah, probably after that), I started becoming more active on Mastodon now, switched a few Mastodon servers, and now I'm on here.
Here are a few facts I noticed:
On Twitter, you're not allowed to have the "expert" username. That's ridiculous, because nobody can have that username on on there. Also, you can't have username more then 15 characters which isn't great right?
Mastodon has most of the issues fixed. Edit button weren't on both Mastodon and Twitter, although Elon promised he would implement it, and Mastodon implemented it first (Friendica actually implemented it first long before all of that Elon-related stuff happened), and only then Elon did.
So!
Now I'm on here, have better engagement, most but not all, of my Twitter followings has been restored on here, on Fediverse, and now what?
Well, I recently switched to this Mastodon server. I used to have 140 followers before, now since I switched, it's 117. With your help, I hope I will hit 200 followers soon.
I learned how Mastodon's engagement works, I posted a few viral posts on my previous account, and hope, will post on here as well.
Oh and BTW. Guess what? The username that I have on this server is already taken by an inactive Twitter Russian account. I tried contacting anyone who was related to it, but never got any response back :-(
Anyways, hi :-)
Hope I will be welcomed on here :-)
P.S, Actually, if anyone interested, no, I didn't removed my Twitter account yet. There are still people who are my favorite (not Elon actually, I hate him and block him) who refused to joined ANY Twitter alternatives. Are you familiar with Mutahar? Mutahar, who is known as SomeOrdinaryGamers? Well, he is one of these guys who haven't joined ANY Twitter alternatives, although, back in day, he did made a video about Mastodon's Twitter account suspension and the Twitter Migration itself.

If you are behind these spam attacks on the fediverse... Your mom's a ho!
All you #Mastodon sysadmins who upgraded to Mastodon 4.3.0: Have you noticed that after you dutifully upgraded the #Yarn dependency to version 4, a message like this scrolled by:
$ yarn install --immutable
➤ YN0065: Yarn will periodically gather anonymous telemetry: https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry
➤ YN0065: Run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0 to disable
I for one almost missed this. You may want to do what I did (as user mastodon in /home/mastodon/live):
yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0
I'm sure the Yarn people think their telemetry is perfectly harmless, but I hope we all agree that telemetry should not be used in the fediverse.
According to the Activity Vocabulary specification, the summary property should be HTML encoded, but #Mastodon is putting plain text in the summary property. #Hollo is putting #HTML in the summary, but should I change Hollo's behavior?

#Mastodon 4.3 がついにリリース 🎉
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/
全体的な UI の雰囲気が先にリニューアルしていた #Android 
とかモバイル 📱
アプリと統一する感じでアップデートされて、ずっと気になってた UI アイコン周りのダサさも解消された
今回の目玉機能のひとつ、同じ投稿へリアクションをまとめて表示できるようになった通知欄のアップデートは、素晴らしい改善ではあるんだけど、自分がメインで使ってる クライアントの #PhanpySocial ではもう結構前から実現されてた機能だから、個人的にはあまりお得感がない 💦
（そもそも素の の Web UI をあまり使ってないのでアップデートのおトク感を感じられるケースはそんなに多くないんだけど）
個人的に一番嬉しいのは、外部から見える投稿のパーマリンクの UI が新しくなることかな
ここ #VivaldiSocial の投稿をメインに他の #SocialMedia #SNS に投稿を共有すると、外からは前バージョンまでのあんまりイケてないデフォルトの見た目で見えてしまうことに残念感があったけど、新バージョンからは自信を持って外部共有できる見た目になりそう。
ここ にはまだ v4.3 来てないんだけど楽しみに待ってる🦒
Mastodon 4.3 has launched with new content recommendations and grouped notifications
FYI, if you're updating to Mastodon 4.3 and want to increase the number of poll options, the process changed slightly.

X rival Mastodon rolls out revamped notifications, a refreshed look and more #News #Mastodon https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/08/x-rival-mastodon-rolls-out-revamped-notifications-a-refreshed-look-and-more/
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.

If you want to hide the current deluge of Mastodon spam, either create a filter for krsw-wiki.org in the Mastodon admin interface and/or, if you’re using Mona, mute the keyword.
#Admin #IndiewebSocial - OK we updated the version of #BirdUI again to nightly build, and I think we should be all in sync with the new #Mastodon 3.4 functionatly! Let us know if you see any user interface bugs!
It sure would be nice to have some automated reporting by keywords right about now....you know, the thing I was explicitly told was NOT gonna happen...🤬

Never knew how much I missed "hovercards" over user profiles here until I saw them working now on #Mastodon 4.3.
Bravo.
Hey sysops who updated to Mastodon 4.3 with Mastodon Bird UI enabled: Please use the nightly branch of the Bird UI (2.0.0rc!). Stable is not yet there for 4.3. I'll update it soon.

Finally got my hands on the latest version, and grouped notifications are a huge improvement!
(This version is still being slowly rolled out, so if you can't wait either: https://www.patreon.com/mastodon)
Oh nice, a new Mastodon release on Android. With some really good updates!

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.

Oh and for 4.4:
"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"
Really can't wait!

Lots of great updates in the latest Mastodon release, but I am particularly excited about this.
"We’re also bringing two new major features to help people deal with unwanted attention. Notification grouping [and] a brand new system for filtering unwanted notifications."
Hoping this will improve everyone's experience on here!

This #Mastodon account just surpassed our old #Twitter / #X account!! Thank you, to all our 718 followers, and more to come! :D
As an #OpenSource Software project, our community is what defines us, and that is you!
So far we have never experienced any negativity here, unlike stories from other social media platforms... Let's keep it that way, be happy and constructive with each other and make cool things with #Vala !!!

Wie kann es sein das der Mastodon Server auf https://elbmatsch.de/api/v1/instance und https://elbmatsch.de/api/v2/instance unterschiedliche Eigenschaften über die Instanz ausgibt. Jemand eine Idee zum Fix? #Mastoadmin #mastodon
#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.👍

Update of my test instance to Mastodon 4.3 RC 1 is complete. My server has a miniscule amount of memory, so there are some panic inducing moments as the CPU spikes to 100% for a bit.
Stopping all mastodon services first, then installing does the trick.

Is there a reason to check out #BlueSky ? I feel like #Mastodon is a more robust Twitter clone with added elements. Going to BlueSky feels redundant. Though I hear it's more normie coded #indieweb #openweb #fediverse
#Mastodon "feels" empty because you have to put effort into finding people to interact with. Profiles and content aren't served on a silver platter. Though it can feel frustrating at times, it makes interactions with other users a lot more enjoyable and authentic. It's made me realize how much my internet use is otherwise determined by ads, bots, and algorithms #fediverse #indieweb #openweb #feditips
Still kind fighting to get the main Mastodon frontend working. SO far it doesn't seem to stop me from using the server, just not from that spot which makes sense.
MIght just give up and switch back to regular Mastodon here in a bit. But could really use some advice since it won't build the precompile phase.
Anyone know how to reduce the size of my Mastodon database? It's 37gb and the ceiling is 40gb.
Tried to move my Mastodon serve to SOC-glitch.
Right now I can't access anything from the website. Fedilab and the listing of notifications from Nextcloud seem to work.
Had to do a distro update in place.
Thoughts?
It's easier to sell a lie in 500 characters than the truth.

Tiny Mastodon Tip For Spoilers 😵:
On Mastodon, there is a wonderful
feature for when you wish to talk about a tv show, movie, game, or book without spoiling it for others.
For this you should use Content Warnings 
Content Warnings can (and in some cases should) be use for a variety of topics, but here I want to remind everyone it is a wonderful feature to use to prevent media spoilers as well 
HOW TO❓
1. This will vary for mobile apps but in the web interface, click on the ⚠️ button labeled "Add content warning" at the bottom of the Post composing window.
2. In the "Content warning (optional)" field, add a warning and specify it is a spoiler and a spoiler of what. For example:
"Star Trek Discovery Season 5 SPOILER:"
3. In the "What's on your mind?" field, write your post as usual. You can add hashtags as usual there too.
4. Click "Post" at the bottom.
5. When people will see your post, it will first be hidden and only show the warning you have composed. People can then choose to click on it to see the full post. Here is an example in the wild: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/110652584147994614
6. Magic! ✨
I'm excited to re-introduce myself from my own #Mastodon server: MOULE.WORLD! #Introduction

In 2022 I released my first #album Enjoy the Ride (https://hyperfollow.com/moule/enjoy-the-ride-3) preview below!
My work's all on https://LINKTR.EE/MOULE, looking forward to sharing my #art with even more amazing people on the future of social media 😉 #Fediverse #ElectronicMusic #EDM
The hate against Mozilla currently wafting through fedi is perhaps the best example I've seen of toxic open source/free software religious fervor on mastodon
There's not a shred of compassion/empathy for what Mozilla is trying to do! At all!
Even if you think they're doing the wrong thing, why do you think being mean to them is going to get them to do the right thing?
I don't agree with their recent decisions either! I'm not awful about it!

PLEASE BOOST - I mistakenly blocked Mastodon.social again!
I needed to block someone who was cheering on the Lebanon attack on mastondon.social and instead made the mistake to block the entire domain
There is no warning (bad design) when you block a domain.
Anyway, if you where following me on there, please re-follow.
If you have problems on why I was blocking someone cheering a terrorists attack, you can move on and away from me.
!!! Please boost !!!
I accidentally (and stupidly) blocked the entire mastodon.social domain, removing around 100 followers/following. If I was following you or you were following me, please just let me know: hit the follow button and I'll follow you back.
What for a #FollowFriday post, does it show that my brain is not fucntioning properly?

Why can't #Mastodon let you mute hashtags like users?
Why always the extra step to go into the filter setting and add them manually?
Pro-tip: if you move to a new #mastodon instance, make sure you disable email notifications for new follows before you move your follower list over 😂
Stop trying to make #Mastodon happen.

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! ✨

Dear Fedi friends,
Can you please join me in giving a warm welcome to @laurenlopes?
Lauren and I interacted on Threads, where she stumbled upon some of my posts from #TheFutureIsFederated and became curious about the #Fediverse (please Lauren correct me if I'm wrong).
Well, earlier this week Lauren joined #Mastodon 🥳
It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I see someone climb over the walled gardens of Big Tech platforms to explore the Fediverse.
Welcome Lauren!!!
¿En #Mastodon existe algo como el like automático? Ya me ha pasado varias veces, que escribo un post y recibo el me gusta nada más pulsar el botón de enviar. Es imposible que la persona haya podido leerlo, si no me ha dado tiempo a mí de levantar el dedo del botón... 🤔

@stefano Maybe I fundamentally misunderstood how the home feed works in #mastodon? I expected it would show me *every* toot from people I follow. Yet here's another one that doesn't appear:
https://snac.bsd.cafe/zirias/p/1727886222.245670
Yes, it's an answer again, without tagging anyone, but I wonder how that could be related, I mean I'm following this account (myself on the snac instance), not the "random" person I might or might not tag when answering. I'm confused 😂
Hey, does #sharkey allow animated gifs? Does #Mastodon ?

any other reaction than running at a full sprint from a rabid animal means death
if my analogy seems a little dramatic: #meta #threads fully intends the death of #mastodon #fediverse
if again, that seems a little paranoid and hysterical: everyone needs an appreciation of what meta is, what it is driven by, and what it does. as fully evident
Second #Mastodon instance move in a few days, but I hope that I now found a permanent home in the #Fediverse 😅 Reposting my #introduction once again:

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
Stay Tuned!

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!

Curated list of themed #Fediverse servers. It includes #Mastodon and #Hometown, #Pleroma and #Akkoma, #Friendica, #Misskey and #Hubzilla servers. Websites are not restricted to their theme. They help people with common interests find their community.
For anyone new to #Mastodon or returning it's easier to find people to follow by following hashtags of interest first.
I remember some suggesting using the introduction hashtag in the past but personally I find that way harder as similar interests are less likely.
As for #MastodonApps or #MastodonClients I recommend @phanpy

The first release candidate of #Mastodon 4.3 is ready! We expect this to very soon become the stable release, but if you encounter anything unexpected, please open a GitHub issue! This is also the last opportunity to submit translations for new and changed strings in CrowdIn.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.0-rc.1
In recent days, I’ve observed and talked to some people.
Some responses made me reflect: "I tried Mastodon, but I didn’t know whom to follow. No system gave me targeted suggestions, and I felt lost and abandoned it."
"Purchases? Mostly online. Sometimes I don’t know what to buy, and targeted advertising suggestions help me."
"I get my information online, especially from social media. I receive all the news that interests me, while official sites are full of things I have no interest in."
One of the problems in today’s society is that people, bombarded by the sheer amount of information available, feel lost. Algorithms help them choose, decide, and orient themselves, but the issue is that if these algorithms are not calibrated positively but solely in an interested manner, the result is to produce individuals incapable of making informed decisions, conditioned exclusively by what is suggested, stated, and amplified.
It’s as if, after years of guided information, many people believe they are always right (the "famous" bubble), feel entitled to everything (advertisements), and perceive the world as hostile (conspiracy theories, etc.).
Artificial intelligence has now become another example of this system: I know people who can no longer do anything without it. They try to impose me (incorrect) IT sysadmin solutions me because "the AI said so."
At this rate, I fear the most atrophied part of our body will be our brains.

I get the feeling, and it’s only a feeling, and few a bits of anecdotal evidence, that many of us #genx people who where among the first to jump feet first into the #worldwideweb, will also be some of the first to leave. I think it was about a year ago, someone created a poll on the age demographic of #Mastodon users, and the vast majority were gen-x and older #millennials. We know it’s all gone to shit, and we want out.
I've created a #Mastodon feature suggestion - to add a language filter to life feeds. It's going to receive a lot of objection, as it contains the word "Israel", so please, show support if you want this feature.

Full discolsure, I fully expect this to be rejected. I detailed why in Hebrew. But trying never hurt.

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.🤞
Is it just me or are we going through a wave of stagnancy on Mastodon? I feel like I've seen a lot of posts about servers shuttering or people feeling like their servers are drying up.
There is a big opportunity to make a better Mastodon iPhone app right now.
The one I’m using has a lot of bugs and weird decisions built into it. At the same time, I acknowledge it’s the best one I know of.
I wish the official app was better, but it isn’t.
Reminder that the original Metatext third party app is no longer being maintained, as its lead developer had to step back due to health issues.
However, there is a new version of Metatext run by different people called Feditext which is currently in public beta testing. You can follow the official Feditext account at:

If you would like to join the public beta testing, it's on Apple TestFlight. There are more instructions here:

#SocialMedia #Twitter #Musk #Threads #Mastodon #BlueSky #EchoChamber: "Data from Similarweb shows active daily users in the UK have dropped from 8mn a year ago to only around 5.6mn now, with more than a third of that fall coming since the summer riots. The same thing is happening elsewhere, and not just in places where the platform has been banned, such as Brazil. Over the same 16-month period, X’s active users in the US have fallen by about a fifth.
As disillusioned X users become, yes, ex-X-users, they are finding their way on to alternative sites. With Mastodon having proved off-puttingly techy for many, that tends to either be Meta’s Threads app, or Bluesky, the platform that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey helped to start. But while the former is winning in terms of absolute numbers — about 1.4mn daily active users of Threads in the UK, compared with just over 100,000 for Bluesky — it is the latter that has grown the most rapidly over the past six weeks, and that is cementing itself as the top choice for media types, policy wonks, academics and the broader chatterati.
That there is a new place for such people to congregate is all well and good, but the problem is that the chatterati — very nice and non-conspiracy-theorising and non-overtly-racist though they may be — tend to coalesce around some quite similar viewpoints, which makes for a rather echoey chamber."

Trying out a new iOS Mastodon app (to me), @sabertooth_app
It feels zippy and has a clean, minimal UI. Worth a look. My one note - it only works with Mastodon servers.
Well...after a few posts using Saturn, it prompted me to pay...
Guess my trial period is over in less than 2 hours.
Not much to say tbh, since I didn't get a fair amount of time with it.
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.🤷♂️
I am testing out Saturn, an iOS app for Mastodon, at the request of the developer.
After I give it a week or so of messing around in the app, I'll give my thoughts about it.
Hopefully it's good, we can use more apps with different styles and features.
Many options are always a good thing to me.

trying out the new #Mastodon 4.3 instance icons on the top right corner
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?
Thanks in advance for your help with troubleshooting this, I appreciate it 💖

I certainly didn’t just realize after almost three years of use that the mastodon icon is an elephant head and trunk rather than a speech bubble. Nope certainly did not.
Dies anybody else fell like the vibe has changed around here in the past few months?
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.

Scoping the acceptable use of your public content to exclude commercial use, search engines and LLM trainers, as you interact with users on other fediverse servers is not simple.

Hi There, Fediverse. Me again!
My journey started off over at mastodonapp.uk in 2022 but decided to try and host my own #Mastodon instance with very little success.
This is my new home now. The kind folks at moth.social now have to put up with me.
But who are you? I'm #Christian in #Academia (#postdoc)
Interest in #DataScience, #SocialNetworkAnalysis, #Politics, and a bit of #CyberSecurtity
In my own time, you can find me #running or out #cycling on my bike in #SouthWales.
We believe that social media should be about reconnecting.
That's why we work across the Fediverse to bring together top voices on topics and why we work with organisations as they step away from centralised alternatives.
We believe in a connected social internet. We hope you do too.
Fellow #Mastodonians! Do you have any pixel and low poly artists that You follow on Mastodon and wanted to share their accounts here? I'd love to find more people doing retro stuff that I could follow and get inspired!

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.
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.
Migrated my #mastodon account today, sorry for any disturbances in the force this may have caused for follows or followers.
At @Vivaldi we love the Fediverse!
More and more are joining. I urge you all to help your friends join as well!

- Intel® Celeron® J4105 Prozessor
- 16 GB Memory
- 480 GB m.2 SSD
- connected to the world via FTTH 400/200mbits
The inner photo is from before the memory and storage upgrade.
I guess I missed doing a short #introduction 😂
I’m a dad of a little son living in #Kerken, Germany 🇩🇪. As an engineer at the International IT of ALDI South I’m helping a lot of teams with automation, CI/CD etc. In former roles I worked as Cloud Solution Architect (#AWS) and #smalltalk developer/SA.
Besides #exploring the world with my family, I like creating stuff with computers, doing #selfhosting, #virtualization using #proxmox, #docker etc.
Currently I’m deeply into #mastodon 🎉
Told y'all mastodon being the majority here is not a good thing....
https://socialwebfoundation.org/
I hate this.
I hate that I was right.
Everything is about 🤑🤑🤑. It always has been.
In your experience, how much of the #Fediverse or #Mastodon is about itself?
| Option | Voters |
|---|---|
| too much | 1 (100%) |
| not enough | 0 (0%) |
| I was not aware of any other topics in life. | 0 (0%) |
| no. | 0 (0%) |
It appears as though @yunohost is dead. No updates in weeks. My #pixelfed is broken and no one will answer emails or support tickets. I should have found something better than #yunohost, but I am not sure anything better exists. I really love hosting my own #mastodon instance, but that is about all Yunohost has working correctly at this point.
I would like to curse the world with an alternate #mastodon logo

🆕 blog! “Social Media Blocking Has Always Been A Lie”
What does it mean to block someone on a social media site? Way back in the mists of time, we dealt with trolls on Usenet with the almighty PLONK - PLaced On Newsgroup Killfile. It meant your newsreader never downloaded their posts. They could rant at you all day long, and you'd never …

It's been a year since I've done a basic "This is me" post, so let's refresh it.
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)
Want to know more? Sweet, Feel free to ping and start chatting!

Another day, another test.
I posted a very long text (10k+ chars) with media attachment on :wordpress: with :activitypub: plugin.
https://blog.rochacbruno.com/2024/09/23/yet-another-test-of-posting-federation/
Then I followed the blog account on each of the platforms where I have an account to test.
Federation works, a little delay on receiving, renders perfectly, image attachment shows exactly where it should be, just like in the wordpress post.
https://lastfree.space/display/a95e175b-aa6135a7f8ba832c-8af02372
Federation works, quick deliver, all html renders ok except the image placement, the image is added as a media attachment.
https://social.rochacbruno.com/@[email protected]/113188368001959095
Just like mastodon.
https://go.rocha.social/@bruno/statuses/01J8G3M4CCMPG0NNGZ9SQ3AH6Q#thread-summary
Federated ok, took a very long time to deliver (looks like instance was having issues), image placement also follows Mastodon pattern.
https://wizard.casa/post/0192203b-6e41-6db9-9e43-ddc054e6882b
IDK, I tried to create one account on one instance and found it very complicated, decided to not try it, maybe someone else will comment.
I also don't know, my instance of snac2 was running on my local host only and I could not fetch the post.
Federation does not break with more than 10k characters.
Why I made this test?
Because I am planning to use my #GoToSocial instance as a blog platform, a separate account for long texts, and use tags for categorization.
(This was my most popular post at my old server)
Has anyone else who uses #Mastodon as their main social media platform noticed a far lower level of personal stress?
After several months I feel almost like I’ve moved to a much, much better neighborhood with really great neighbors.
Personally, I am still concerned with lots of socioeconomic, environmental, and other issues the world faces, but I feel far less stressed about them.
It’s just better in so many ways.
Hey y’all! I’m #Jeremy #Nuckolls, I’ve recently moved from over from .LOL. I’m 36 and I’m from #GarlandTx.

We've said A LOT about Patchwork recently, so here's a quick rundown:
🏙️ It was built to help admins reconnect with their community
✅ 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!

I like this proposal to show a modal prompt when replying to people who don't know you, but I think we can do better.
How about using the webcam to also show folks their own (angry) face while they type.
Would that maybe help calm them down?
I have had nothing but good experiences on #Mastodon so far, but the comments to this post below is genuinely the level of low why I left Twitter.
Coincidentally it's also the same kinda crap that makes it so hard for people getting into the FOSS community. Cause it's the same BS there. Extremism in ANY direction is fucking awful.

I was a huge fan of @[email protected] 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?
Pro-tip for #Mastodon (web client): you can *pin* basically anything to add new columns to your dashboard.
On mastodon.gamedev.place, I highly recommend to pin the "Local timeline", which will be the gem of this instance.
You can also pin hashtags if you want, or your favourites (yeah, it's back to proper favourites you can check back later, and not "likes" as on Birdsite).
Gentle Reminder for Newcomers :mastodon: :
Boosting posts keeps Mastodon alive!
Boost what you love! 💚
Boost freely! :boost_ok:✨

#Fedi but mostly #Mastodon is like that neighbourhood/community that swears is friendly and welcoming but really only to people that look and think like them. They’re the type like the Karen’s that call the cops on a Black man inside of a house in their neighbourhood because that Black man is “suspicious” and can’t possible live there 🙄
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
There are two open source web browser projects that have their own Mastodon instances.
Unfortunately, Mozilla has decided to shutdown their Mastodon instance by the end of the year.
https://mozilla.social/
But Vivaldi Web Browser has confirmed that they will keep maintaining their Mastodon instance.

I asked around so-called influencers why they were not on #Mastodon . Here are the most common replies:
1) We can't go viral on Mastodon (read as we can't game the system because humans only boost good stuff)
2) They want a algo driven system (why do you want to see angry posts all day & night?)
3) You can't make money on Mastodon (WTF that even mean?)
4) It is way too technical & confusing. Which server to join? WTF is the server?
Only the last one is valid. The rest are all lazy reasons.
We were very excited to demo Channel. org & Patchwork at the fourth edition of FediForum - the virtual unconference moving the decentralised social web forwards.
You can see the video here: https://spectra.video/w/42kMTHaxxqYwD6nYYeK1MZ or on YouTube (we'll add a link further down the thread).

Folk, meg selv inkludert, har blitt litt sløvere med å bruke #emneknagg på innlegg (TUT) her på #mastodon #allheimen #norsktut. Det er litt uheldig, fordi emneknagger er viktigere i mastodon enn på en del andre sosiale medier. Konsekvensen er at ganske mange gode innlegg jeg gjerne skulle ha lest glir under radaren i Hjem-feeden. Derfor oppfordrer jeg alle til å huske #emneknagger når de tuter på mastodon (alle servere!)

👋 Hi, #scholars, tell us, why are you on #Mastodon?
🔍 We are researching how and why academics use Mastodon compared to other platforms. Is it key for #academic #discourse?
🔜 We'll launch our #research survey by mid-October, so stay tuned.
📣 Meanwhile: what features of Mastodon do you find most valuable for academic discourse?
And which other questions should we include in our research, you think?
#AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter #OpenScience #SocialMedia
I certainly don't want to get too excited, but it's nice to see some activity on this proposed pull request to bring "fetch all replies" functionality to #mastodon.
Does the personal block list on #Mastodon have a cap? Somehow, mine has been filling up fast over the past few days.
@thunderbird I certainly hope you are *not* following @mozilla 's announcement to retreat from #mastodon?
Just a heads up: My instance is about to block mastodon.social. If you are on that instance, we hope you will consider moving to a different instance. The racism, bigotry, abuse, and hatred on mastodon.social is out of control and the admins have no desire to fix it. At this point, we have no choice but to defederate them. #mastodon #fediblock
Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....
Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.
And people wonder why casual users don't wanna be here...🤦♂️

Mastodon und WordPress in 2024 – Was hat sich verändert?
Im Oktober 2022 habe ich hier über Mastodon geschrieben und wie man Mastodon und WordPress miteinander verbinden kann.
Das ist nun schon zwei Jahre her und in dieser Zeit hat sich vieles getan.
Auch Plugins für WordPress bekamen Updates, neue Plugins kamen hinzu. Ich habe mich mal in der Plugin-Bibliothek umgeschaut und getestet.

そういえば、上の記事読んで、 #Mammoth :mammoth: （← #VivaldiSocial にもいつの間にか絵文字として追加されてた）っていう #Mastodon :mastodon: アプリを #Mozilla がバックアップしているというのは知らなかった（いや、何かで一度知った気もするけど、忘れてた）

これ読むと、#Mozilla は #Firefox と #AI に注力する方向なのかな。うーむ。#AI ね…
いや、やり方次第なんでそれも良いんだけども。。
なんか、例えると、よくわかってないお偉いさんの「これからは AI だぜ！（キラッ）」っていうディレクションとすごく重なって見えちゃうんだけど、#Firefox 本当にそれで大丈夫かな…？
ブラウザに表示されてる内容の要約とか、すでに他のブラウザにも搭載されてる機能だし、それがそもそも本当にブラウザーにとってクリティカルな機能なのか（個人的にはまだ）分からないし、とくに既存の #Firefox のユーザー層だと #AI と連携する機能をブラウザに搭載すること自体よく思わない人も（たぶん他のブラウザーのユーザー以上に）多そうだけど、それでも #Mastodon :mastodon: サーバーを閉鎖して（上の記事を見るとそれ以外にも VPN のリソースとかも一部犠牲にして）#AI 連携？機能に注力して、その結果これからすごく革新的な AI 機能が #Firefox に搭載されて、かつそれが #Mozilla に（少なくとも今より）収益を生み出して、さらに Web の世界がより良くなるということを目指してるってことなのかな…？
（なんだかさらに #Firefox が心配になってきた :tony_neutral:

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: ✌🏻

:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-beta.2+mementomods-2024-09-17 + Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc50.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 79 commits ahead from the last version which was v4.3.0-beta.1+mementomods-2024-09-07.
This is mainly a security patch.
As usual, please tell our admins about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

Mozilla, unfailingly, will make the wrong strategic decision every time.
#Mozilla abandons #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Figures.
From now on eggs will not be in one single basket. In other words: Glad to say we have now 4 admins in total, welcome @ikkeT @raikas and @lari :bunhdheart:
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.
PS. Nice to meet @ikkeT IRL by lattes, what a nice guy 👍

Hi #Fediverse 👋
Wir sind #neuhier und freuen uns auf euch & #Mastodon 🥳
Als eine der größten Universitätskliniken Europas entwickelt die #CharitéBerlin die #Medizin von morgen – seit über 300 Jahren. Hier versorgen wir euch mit News aus der Charité & ihrer Spitzenforschung.
As one of Europe’s biggest university hospitals, Charité has been developing the #medicine of tomorrow for more than 300 years. Here, we’ll be giving you the latest updates on Charité & its leading research.
I think postmortem, when we hear the names #Mastodon and perhaps #ActivityPub, we'll see it as one of the greatest fumbles of the web.
It's not (just) the onboarding fiasco. Mastodon servers had something that #Meta could never replicate— real community.
We didn't need the corporate web to validate us. Our presence here could've been a beacon for what the web could be if you took VC money out of the equation. We could've saved people that way.
I don't know if this place ever gets that back.
Aww crap it happened. After 4 long years of smooth sailing I have my first dependency conflict on Arch Linux.
Mastodon depends on `nodejs` but @kresus depends on `nodejs-lts-hydrogen`. ⚡
I'm still surprised how long it took, though. On Debian I used to run into this kind of stuff all the time.
Please don't recommend containers. I know they exist. I have already had this debate before.
🗣 #MASTODON DEVS AND ADMINS NEED TO STOP FUCKING WITH WEB STANDARDS
#ActivityPub isn't permission to break web standards. you can't have a public social media site and refuse to be linked to.
you don't wanna be linked? TAKE THAT SHIT PRIVATE, PERIOD.
LINKS TO INSTANCES THAT REJECT LINKING ARE POLLUTING PUBLIC ACTIVITY PUB STREAMS
just like you can't be a little pregnant, you can't be a little public on the web. you either are making public posts or you aren't.
so stop it.
:graz: Wer von uns Grazer*innen findet noch, dass es langsam überfällig wird, dass unsere Behörden, Universitäten und sonstige staatliche Stellen ebenfalls im #Fediverse bzw. auf #Mastodon präsent sind?
Während dass in Deutschland bereits normal wird, siehe https://bawü.social/explore oder https://social.bund.de/explore, werden hier in #AT weder vom Land #Steiermark noch von der Stadt #Graz meine Mails diesbezüglich beantwortet.
Helft gerne mit und schreibt auch Ihr ihnen mal eine E-Mail! :mastolove:
Wow, we're still not over @fediforum
It's truly amazing to bring some of the most exciting developments on the Fediverse together for a few days and see what everyone is up to. No other network has such a vibrant, committed, and supportive community.

https://bayerwald.cafe ist zunächst ein Experiment, ob die Instanz gut auf einem Strato VPS läuft. Bisher war ich eher enttäuscht von Strato in Bezug auf Performance und Verfügbarkeit. BAYERWALD.CAFE läuft erstaunlich gut und schnell. Alle Daten liegen auf diesem Server.
Die Domains BAYERWALD.SOCIAL und BAYERWALD.CAFE habe ich mir erst einmal gesichert. In der Region Niederbayern ist die Akzeptanz von Mastodon aber eher gering. Es bleibt schwierig …

Phanpy and Elk are both great web clients for fediverse platforms that support the mastodon api.
Did you know that both utilize a third party mastodon api library written in JavaScript?
Masto.js makes those applications possible! Give some props to the creator and maintainer, @neet
Nerozumím tomu, proč státní instituce používají #X. Přijde mi, že povodně jsou jedna velká reklama na tuto sociální síť v rukou šílence šířící dezinformace. Proč proboha nezačnou používat otevřené sociální sítě, jako je #Mastodon? Měli by jednu státní instanci (například @cesko.gov) a všechny obce, města a další instituce by měli svůj účet. Například @[email protected], nebo @[email protected] a tak dále.
Co tomu brání?
J'étais en train de m'agacer sur la scrollbar de Mastodon, trop fine que j'arrive pas à attraper.
J'ai fini par trouver un fichu scrollbar-width: thin; dans la CSS.
Je sais pas qui a inventé cette propriété CSS mais c'est nul. On ne devrait pas changer ce genre chose.
En plus, le thème clair a mis des contrastes pourris qui font qu'on voit encore moins la scrollbar (je sais pas si ça vient de Glitch soc ou de Mastodon mais ça va pas).
Por que diabos ainda não há servidores brasileiros no https://joinmastodon.org/servers? Há dois anos, quando o Twitter foi comprado pelo seu atual proprietário, achei muito estranho, principalmente depois de ver tantos servidores Mastodon administrados por comunidades brasileiras. E mesmo agora que tivemos o X bloqueado?
Já existe essa fase confusa de escolher um servidor, mas por que os brasileiros são excluídos? Falta de perspectiva além do norte global? Falta de articulação para ter instâncias brasileiras nessa porra de lista?
Estamos literalmente dando um tiro no próprio pé.

MATTEO ÜBER SICH
#MatteosMiniWebPage (Thread 2/8)
HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN!
Hallo, ich bin kein smarter Zeitgenosse, der ein Interesse daran hätte, seine Mitmenschen zu übervorteilen. Zähle mich eher zu den tragischen Figuren des Lebens. Auch aus diesem Grunde habe ich antisoziale Medien wie Twitter, X, Facebook und WhatsApp noch nie benutzt. 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 man schon immer machen wollte.
Mit dem Fediverse bin ich erstmalig über #Lemmy in Berührung gekommen. Dann habe ich #Mastodon (vgl. FediDB), #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Akkoma, #Firefish (z.Z. unmaintained), #Iceshrimp (vgl. FediDB), #Catodon (vgl. Projekt) und #Sharkey (vgl. FediDB), ausprobiert. Jetzt bin ich wieder bei Mastodon gelandet, weil man eben wegen der guten Mastodon-API (Schnittstelle) - auch mit den gerade deshalb reichhaltig verfügbaren Zusatzprogrammen - sehr viel machen kann und alles größtenteils fehlerfrei, ohne Bugs, stets zuverlässig funktioniert. Mein Dank richtet sich an all die tollen Administratoren und kreativen Programm-Entwickler, die dies für uns kostenfrei mit ihrer unermüdlichen Arbeit ermöglichen.
Als meine erste Mastodon Instanz habe ich mastodon.bayern gewählt (visit FediDB). Dieser Account (dieses Profil Matteo (he/him)) verfügt über Formatierungsmöglichkeiten der Mastodon Glitch Edition und einem großzügigen 5000-Zeichen-Limit für Postings.
Als zweite Mastodon Instanz habe ich ausschließlich zum Abonnieren von Nachrichten-Kanälen, für öffentliche Lesezeichen und zum testweisen Gegenlesen social.anoxinon.de gewählt (visit FediDB). Der zweite Account (zweites Profil Matteo (Reader)) verfügt über einen guten automatischen Übersetzer auf DeepL-Translate-Basis für fremdsprachige (nicht nur englische) Artikel und einem standardmäßigen 500-Zeichen-Limit für Postings. Hier meine Nachrichten-Kanäle, die von jedem, dem sie gefallen, kopiert werden können.
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. Der Schutz meiner Privatsphäre und meines familiären Umfeldes sind mir wichtig. Deshalb benutze ich hier keinen Klarnamen, sondern das Pseudonym Matteo. Es gibt ein Recht auf geschützte Meinungsfreiheit.
Mit dieser privaten Mini-Web-Page auf Mastodon beschreibe ich meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem Fediverse und würde mich freuen, wenn andere User ein wenig davon profitieren. Bei den hier dargestellten Sachverhalten handelt es sich um meine subjektiven Wahrnehmungen, die unvollständig sein könnten. Die von mir daraus hergeleiteten Schlussfolgerungen, sind möglicher Weise nicht zwingend oder frei von Irrtümern. Entsprechende Kommentare eurerseits sind stets willkommen.
Folge mir einfach @matteo. Oder wenn nicht, dann schreibe mir eventuell nur mit einer Erwähnung. Wenn sonst niemand mitlesen soll, gerne auch als private Direkt-Nachricht.

MATTEOS MINI-WEB-PAGE
#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:

I wrote a small, easy to use #golang lib for signing HTTP requests so that #Mastodon would accept them and also to verify requests originating from Mastodon and other #ActivityPub servers, useful if you're implementing your own.

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!

You can transfer your Mastodon account to a different server if you would like. The process allows you to keep your follows, followers, bookmarks, lists, mutes, blocks and domain blocks. Your old posts will remain on the old server, but they will redirect people to your new account.
There's a complete step-by-step beginner's guide for how to transfer your account at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server
It might seem a bit long, but it combines several processes into one guide.
We're logging off now after a wonderful #FediForum.
We might need a few days to recover but what an amazing three days!
We look forward to telling you more about it next week.

4/4 obligatory #introduction: #photography is my real jam. I was a pro photographer for years. I gave it up, cuz it took too much time. I still shoot, but only what I want. I started posting all this stuff on #mastodon recently.
Part 3 of "A Guide to Implementing ActivityPub in a Static Site (or Any Website)" is just out the oven!
In this blog post, I explain how to make your blog discoverable in the Fediverse as an account, and also address some of the annoying pitfalls I encountered.

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.
The next version of #Fedify will support #LDSignatures (#RsaSignature2017), which means that Fedify will be able to verify activities forwarded by #Mastodon from other servers.
In addition, activities sent with the Context.sendActivity() method will have Linked Data Signatures attached in addition to HTTP Signatures if any RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs are present.
We were not motivated by implementing Linked Data Signatures, which is already an outdated standard, but we hope this change will lead to better compatibility and interoperability of Fedify apps!
At #FediForum, @ben called out that he linked to the @ProPublica donation drive on #Mastodon, and that yielded more donations than any other social media promotion on other platforms by the official account.
Huge.
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.
Espero no se me escape la tortuga.

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.
Show time: Patchwork & Channel. org debut 💫

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？
もしくは :vivaldi_blue: #VivaldiSocial という何故か英語サーバーなのに日本人が多いというサーバーと連合している範囲の景色だから、というのもあるのかな :tony_grinning:
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!

“Here I posted a link to Fp, it was automatically reposted to my Bluesky profile.
Another left a comment on Frontpage, that I also replied to. These were translated to a thread on Bluesky.
I voted the reply on Frontpage, this vote translated to a like on Bluesky.
Now consider another user noticed this bsky thread, and left a reply to one of these comments from the Bluesky app.
We can show this reply inside of Fp; now the discourse stays together with all of its context!”
How #Lemmy could interop with #Mastodon, as imagined in Frontpage + Bluesky:
“When you post on Fp, we propose that a mirror post will also be created in your Bluesky account. When you comment on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror reply will be created in your Bluesky account.
Conversely, when you reply to one of these mirrored posts in Bluesky - we will show it as a reply in Frontpage.
Additionally, Bluesky likes will be translated to Frontpage votes and vice versa.”
I received a request from @ghost today to add #LDSignatures to @fedify for compatibility with #Mastodon, as Mastodon does not plan to implement Object Integrity Proofs (FEP-8b32) for the near future. 😩
However, Mastodon's implementation of LD Signatures does not even use valid JSON-LD properties (despite the name), so I'm not sure how to make it compatible with Mastodon since #Fedify does JSON-LD processing. 🤔

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.
If you want to try it, let us know!

Oh, guck mal @fsteiner: Du hast den ersten Post bei @heiseonline mit dem neuen Autor*innen-Tag.
Ist aber nur auf Instanzen mit v4.3.0 von #Mastodon zu sehen, u.a. aber auf mastodon.social.
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/
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 👀

Mastodon: a partial history (DRAFT)
For Mastodon to evolve in a more equitable and inclusive way, we need to grapple with how and why it was built. Here's my (draft) attempt to do that -- highlighting the amazing contributions of the early community (much of which has never been properly credit) without whitewashing the past.
Feedback welcome!
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
5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people
https://privacy.thenexus.today/start-making-the-fediverse-less-toxic/
The article also has links to anti-racism resources and appendices with a list of common mistkes to avoid and blocklist resources for moderators.
Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!
EDIT, 8/19: I updated #2 (which previously started with "Post Less"), and also made some other changes in the underlying article - including a bit more discussion about how anti-Blackness isn't just a US problem.

Algoritmisomeissa enää harvoin näkee reaaliaikaista keskustelua. Se on surullista. Jos jotain on tapahtunut, For you -feed näyttää asiat 12h myöhemmin. Valtaosa ei osaa/halua/jaksa vaihtaa näkymää, joka on piilossa. Tästä syystä pidän Mastodonista ja Fediversumista. Olemme kaikki täällä samalla viivalla.
Onneksi on olemassa tämä avoin vaihtoehto, jossa kronologisuus on ainoa vaihtoehto ja kaupalliset algoritmit loistavat poissaolollaan. On mukavaa, että 2000-luvun seesteistä ja korporaatiovapaata Internetiä ollaan tuomassa takaisin.

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 :-)

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!

Ja es gab ja noch andere von mir nicht erwähnte #Misskey Forks, von denen jetzt wohl sowieso niemand mehr etwas erwartet.
Irgendwie sind alle diese Projekte leider nicht so recht vorangekommen, weil man die Komplexität des Codes unterschätzt hat. Es gab einfach kein harmonisches Entwickler-Team, das mit genügend Manpower die Herausforderungen konstruktiv angehen könnte.
Für mich als Normal-User ist der reduzierte Ansatz von #Mastodon und #Akkoma jetzt einfach attraktiver, mit einer schlechte Oberfläche, aber sehr guter API. So habe ich halt einen kompatiblen, gut funktionierenden Dienst, dessen minimalistische Oberfläche ich über einen sehr guten Web-Client ausgleichen kann.
👋 We are excited to join @fediforum next week for the first time.
We'd love to exchange ideas with you about
➡️ academics’ mastodon use: drivers and hurdles; it's a small #research project we're currently starting;
➡️ #decentralized #SocialMedia in #academia; our #university #library’s perspective;
➡️ applying #OpenScience principles in our #mastodon #communications
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.
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.

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.
:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-beta.1+mementomods-2024-09-07 + Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc49.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 167 commits ahead from the last version which was v4.3.0-beta.1+mementomods-2024-08-23.
This version contains some fixes to both Mastodon and Mastodon Bird UI. Our instance has been using the new grouped notifications feature for over a month now, but today on top of that we have the new content warnings UI available in our instance with bunch of other changes and fixes.
We also now have the new Administration and Moderation nav for admins and mods. The support for this has been added to Mastodon Bird UI nightly version.
As usual, please tell me about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

i want to make it clear that exposur.es will not censor your content in order to 'play nice' with other instances that abuse their influence to manipulate the fediverse to meet their unique objectives, arbitrary definitions, and unreasonable expectations
so long as your activity is within the guidelines to which each member agrees (take a look! read them for yourself!), exposur.es will continue to be a safe haven for your artwork

I wish #Mastodon would just implement FEP-8b32 instead of the LD Signatures which is obsolete.
I was a bit apprehensive about signing up to #Mastodon but I really shouldn't have worried. Compared to the Bluebird of Misery (or Xitter, because so many people are leaving) it's like a breath of fresh air to be surrounded by pleasant and positive people on here!

"The point is, there's a game everyone is playing today and it really is bad for you. [...] I'm talking about real, lasting consequences in the real world. I'm talking about a game that can actually change the way you see other human beings, and how you treat them. It's a game that's genuinely harmful and continues to impact your thoughts and behaviour, even after you stop playing it."
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.

It’s funny, almost two years down the track from Musk’s Absorbaloff-ing of Twitter, while I have far far fewer followers on #mastodon, there is SO MUCH MORE engagement and conversation here. More than Bluesky or Threads as well.
And no pornbots in the replies.
I don’t know the path forward for this style of social media, but it’s weird how many more actual people are talking here than over at Animal Bot Farm.
Without a secure DM feature on #Mastodon (and honestly I hope there never is one), I rely on #Matrix and #Signal for #communications.
**Anyone trying to reach me can connect** on Matrix at https://matrix.to/#/@seaner:matrix.org or on Signal at sean.30
All my other #links are listed at https://bio.link/seanbray
Have you heard about #BridgyFed? Using this free service, I have been able to link my four #Substack publications to the #Fediverse so that each now has a handle that can be followed on #Mastodon and other #ActivityPub platforms. Here they are:
You can narrow Mastodon search results by language using the special operator "language:" For example if you include the phrase language:fr then the results would just show posts in French.
There's a list of all Mastodon's language codes at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/language-codes-used-by-mastodon
There are lots more search operators listed at:
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!
"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/
Closing the gap on fediverse hashtag visibility with hashtag-importer, a new rust tool to import #hashtags into your instance¹.

¹always ask your admin first
Since there seems to be a few different ways of using #Mastodon, i thought it'd be useful to outline mine to prevent ambiguity and provide an extra view on the topic.
A 'follow' (request) means i like a few aspects of the person or have a curiousity in topics they expound.
A 'favorite' mostly indicates something i (mostly) agree with and might ponder later.
A 'bookmark' function is used just like web browser bookmarks. I rarely use these.
'Boosts' are still a bit of a conundrum to me. On one hand, most of my interest is in a person and their original ideas, and it's rare that i have complete certainty to endorse an idea, but on the other, 'boosts' can help alleviate Mastodon's fragmented connectivity.
A 'reply' is an attempt to share extra idea pathways that may've not been present at that point.
I wish there was a way of avoiding the aforementioned ambiguity by expressing these underlying semantic explicitly.
Y'all, I had a very productive Labor Day weekend. I finished WikiTwister AND I got my upgrade to MastoGizmos finished! MastoGizmos ( https://mastogizmos.com/ ) is a set of 11 Web-based tools for exploring #Mastodon.
Here's a thread about the tools. If you have a friend who isn't on the fedi but is Mastodon-curious, let them know about MastoGizmos - you don't need a Mastodon account to use any of the tools.
MastoGizmo is free to use, free of ads, and works best on desktop. Let's go!

For those new here from #twitter to #mastodon may I suggest @FediFollows as well as @feditips. If you’re interested in running your own server I personally use @mastohost for managing my service, simple to setup and pay them, been using them for months and it’s cheaper than Twitter blue for many individuals, but inexpensively can scale if you become more popular as I have been.

It occurred to me that I have never made an #introduction post since being on #Mastodon.
I'm a 40-something #dad to 2 kids. I work as a #software #developer. I #cycle. I use #linux and #selfHost software when I can (including Mastodon). We have a #shitzu.
I'm into #scifi (like #StarTrek and #StarWars) and #anime (but don't judge me because I often watch the dubbed versions). I've watched all the #Marvel #movies and #TVseries that have been released for home viewing.
Can we play games like they do on the bird site? Here’s one of my favs - post a picture from your camera roll, no explanation :blobhaj_heart:
1/ I just tumbled across this two-step mashup for following any #X / #Twitter account on #Mastodon. No need to visit X or wait for people to migrate.
1. Use https://rss.app to create an #RSS feed for the X account. It's free.
2. Use @birb to follow the RSS feed on Mastodon. It's also free.
Step 1 also applies to most web pages and #SocialMedia platforms. Step 2 applies to any RSS feed.
I'm starting to feel that #Mastodon is doomed to be superceeded by Threads:
1. Most people don't care, 'winning' is "capitalist claptrap"
2. It's defederated, there is no one to make key decisions
3. It's STILL not figured out moderation, this place still isn't safe
I don't want to 'win' to get money, I want to "win" to liberate everyone. If there were only 2-3 instances that took growth seriously, that might do it?
:mastodon: #Mastodon って Bot アカウントは 🤖Automated みたいに明示できる機能があるはずだけど、義務ではないのかな？
ブックマークの駄々漏れのみのアカウントなのだとしたら、実質 Automated なんじゃないかと思うのだけど :tony_neutral:
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.
@christianp and other #mathstodon folks, is there any ongoing work in getting LaTeX (or any #math notation) supported across all #Mastodon instances (and perhaps across all of Fediverse)? Is there a github issue I can monitor?
It's very annoying that for posts like this 👇, I have to go read it on the original site:
@[email protected] · Reply to don Elías (como los buses) 🥨's post
Running a small #mastodon server is nice, but I remember a couple of hundred people from Costa Rica came in a couple of days because Twitter was having technical issues, and went back partially because they didn't find content or people.
Since then, I follow lots of accounts from small servers, so users from our small online communities can find each other, I also run my own small relay to connect to regional instances.
So yeah, let's try to help out our new brazilian neighbors
Não me importo nada que os amigos do #Brasil migrem, na sua grande maioria, para #bluesky.
Ainda assim, os que decidirem migrar para o #mastodon, sejam muito bem vindos! Fizeram a melhor escolha! 😆 Aqui não há ads, nem algoritmos, mas lembrem-se que não estão no #twitter, por isso convém usar regras básicas de respeito e cordialidade. Beleza?
Agora toca a tootar com força. Um abraço a todos!
Bem-vindos a todos os novos usuários do Mastodon Brasileiro. Este é um lugar amigável! Divirtam-se!
I really feel this #MastodonMigration due to the #Twitter ban in #Brazil might be our last chance. It is clear that #Bluesky has the marketing that #Mastodon lacks - understandable given its FOSS nature.
But these moments are rare, and if this is indeed the start of Twitter's downfall, it may be our last chance to secure Mastodon as The Public Forum. We can't hand over its keys to another for-profit that will enshitify the forum of our democracies in the years to come.
It is our time as users to promote Mastodon, especially for those of us who work in the press or have other distribution channels. Yes, we may even have to come back to The Bird Cage to convince our mutuals to choose Mastodon when the time comes. This is the first time an entire country has been forced to choose between Mastodon and Bluesky, and what Brazil chooses might determine what the rest of the world chooses as the dominoes continue to fall.
So get out there and convince everyone. It could be our last chance.
Spent some time this morning getting a cursory understanding of #ATProtocol (the open protocol behind #BlueSky). I have a decent understanding of #ActivityPub and I expected AT to have a lot of similarities.
It’s quite different, and this diagram surprised me.
PDS here is “Personal Data Server”. You might think of it as something like a #Mastodon instance where all your data is stored and posts by those you follow are cached.
Except notice that there’s no arrows between PDSes.

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.

I think this is the first time I'm seeing a fediverse post embedded in an article by a major news site.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/1/24232298/sub-club-fediverse-make-money
Some of you may only use Mastodon on mobile devices, but there is an option that, as far as I know, can only be enabled on the website. I am writing about new post notifications. You need to go to the profile of the person you are following and click on the bell marked with an arrow. You will then get notified when new posts appear.
I have this turned on for all the people I follow, so I don't miss anything!
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/
I see talk about people from X moving to Threads or Bluesky and that somehow #Mastodon is falling behind.
There is a honeymoon period on Threads & Bluesky as their desire now is to get users & engagement. At some point their aggressive push for ads & your data will begin.
Mastodon is ad free and even if it serves a much smaller community, the brilliance is the concept. The tech and ease of use will hopefully catch up in time and its future depends as much on the community we build together.
Amigos do #Mastodon gostaria de convidá-los a participar do #Lemmy a resposta do #Fediverso ao #Reddit
O Reddit tem se tornado uma rede cada vez mais toxica e recentemente anunciou que se tornará uma empresa de capital aberto. Além disso o CEO S. Huffman declarou repetidas vezes que admira o trabalho que E. Musk vem fazendo no #Twitter
Eu administro o https://lemmy.eco.br e os convido a fortalecer e viabilizar essa alternativa, principalmente para os falantes de Português.
This is the kind of bigotry and hate that #Mastodon approves of. I get so much of this everyday despite NOT being Roman Catholic and our denomination taking a ZERO tolerance policy to sexual abuse of any kind. I am tired of it and wish "enlightened" and "woke" people would take two minutes to research before attacking me and my church.
Every couple of months I like to share with new people or people on new instances how to add #Mastodon timelines into #rss feeds:

Roll your own: https://[federated.instance]/@[userid].atom
Could be worth trying if your favourite accounts are 8-16hrs away, or if you detect spotty synchronization issues between instances. #Mastodon101 #rss

You want a fast-growing dominant social network owned by a billionaire made to extort you for profit.
I want a thoughtfully-built, community-grown social ecosystem made to connect people.
We are not the same.
Hvilken app bruker du for å poste til #Mastodon?
Jeg bruker #Megalodon på min Android telefon. Den funker fint, men har ikke fulgt med på om de andre er blitt bedre.
Now that #Brazil has banned Xitter, where are Brazilian people going?
Based on Google Trends, they’re mostly interested in #Bluesky, and to a (much) lesser extent, in #Threads
#Mastodon is nowhere to be found, which should immensely worry pro-Fedi people

To any #Medical staff or anyone who works in the #Healthcare industry and is on #Mastodon , what do you say when you have to deliver bad news? What do you wish could say? What actually works when trying to help others cope?
I had a follow up appointment with my PCP earlier today, and the end results were... not great. I'm being referred to two different specialists and I don't know what'll happen when I see them :/
Are you looking for a new #Mastodon server to migrate to? Tired of seeing bigotry pop up in your timeline? Need a place to seriously discuss the news with diverse views and inputs?
Come join us at Turtleisland (dot) social!
It's a great place run by Native/Jewish users (shoutout to @Yehuda and @Tzipporah ) that is built to last and is always open to having more Native and Ally users.
Added some initial support for media in the card views. I don't particularly like how it looks right now but css is not my strong suit
@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.
PSA for everyone on Mastodon: You don't need to use link shorteners. All links count as 23 characters, no matter what.
All a link shortener does is keep people from seeing where the link goes*. Many of us will refuse to boost posts with shortened links precisely because of this.
Please, just put the actual link in your post!
* And make your link become useless if the link shortening service ever goes away for any reason.)

もともと、流行らないサイトを #さくらインターネット の #VPS (3core, 2Gメモリ、200GHDD) でやっていたのですが、このサーバーに #Mastodon が立てられないかと考え、OS再インストール＞Ubuntu22.04＞Mastodonスタートスクリプトに進むと、結構短時間でmastodonをインストール済みのubuntuサーバーが立ち上がりました。
２回ぐらい、OS再インストールをして試行錯誤し、最後の姿がこれです。
一番のポイントは CUI で管理者を作るところ。ソロサーバーでは外からのGUIではアカウントはできないため。

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.
Merged a bunch of random PRs from glitch-soc into my mastodon branch which is almost definitely going to cause me a bunch of issues next time I update, but now I have emoji reactions soo

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 ???
#alternativeTo #tusky #phanpy #jerboa #fediver

:activitypub: #ActivityPub は、既存の #SocialMedia #SNS に、上位概念を生み出そうとしているところが好きなんだよな…
いろんなクラスタがあるけど、まあみんなおんなじ「人間」ってことで、（技術的には）連合できるようしておきつつ、それぞれのレイヤー（サーバー・アカウント）でブロックとかしながらお互い衝突しないように適度にやろうぜ、というものを感じる
:mastodon: #Mastodon なんかは開発方針にもそういう哲学を感じるんだよね。
いろんなポリシーのサーバーが存在できて、それぞれが可能な範囲で連合できて、なるべく参加者のポジティブな感情が表に見える場所にしよう、みたいな。
もちろん、実際にはそうじゃないサーバーもあるだろうし、それは一つの夢みたいなものなんだけど、すくなくともそこに向かおうとしている感じがするというか。
Is anyone managing their #mastodon with k8s/helm? Which chart do you use? https://github.com/mastodon/chart seems to be semi-abandoned and clearly lags behind their releases and the bitnami's one feels like some huge overengineering.
I'm this close to kubevirting a small nix image...
#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."
Aber damit habe ich auch schon alles erzählt... 🤔
I do like how the missing alt text icon is now more prominent, but I do wonder if this is enough to get people to add descriptions to their images.
I actually opened an issue addressing this last year.

If your Mastodon timeline is getting too crowded, you might want to split it into several themed mini-timelines using the Lists feature. More details here:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon
You can optionally set Lists to hide their posts from your main timeline, which makes it less crowded.
For example, you could create a sports-themed List for all the sports accounts you follow, and look at that List when you want to see the latest sports-related posts.

Hollo를 소개합니다!
Hollo는 개인을 위한 연합형 마이크로블로그 소프트웨어입니다. Fedify와 Bun으로 만들어졌으며, #ActivityPub 프로토콜을 통해 다른 인스턴스 및 서비스와 교류할 수 있습니다.
Hollo의 특징은 한 사용자를 위해 설계된 전용 인스턴스라는 점입니다. 이를 통해 사용자는 자신만의 공간을 가지면서도 #Mastodon, #Misskey 및 기타 ActivityPub 지원 서비스의 사용자들과 소통할 수 있습니다.
독자적인 웹 인터페이스는 없지만, Mastodon API와 호환되어 기존의 많은 Mastodon 클라이언트 앱을 사용하여 Hollo에 접근할 수 있습니다. 이로 인해 익숙한 인터페이스로 Hollo를 이용할 수 있습니다.
주요 기능으로는 게시물 작성·편집·삭제, 답글, 미디어 첨부, 투표, 좋아요, 북마크, 고정 등이 있습니다. 또한 프로필 편집, 팔로우/팔로워 관리, 리스트 생성 등도 가능합니다. 더불어 Markdown을 지원하여 게시물이나 프로필의 서식 설정을 쉽게 할 수 있습니다.
Hollo는 현재 개발 초기 단계에 있으며, 지속적으로 기능 추가와 개선이 이루어지고 있습니다. Bun을 사용함으로써 빠른 성능과 효율적인 개발이 이뤄지고 있답니다. 오픈 소스 프로젝트로 GitHub에 공개되어 있으며, 커뮤니티의 기여를 환영합니다.
개인 블로그와 소셜 미디어의 장점을 결합한 Hollo는 프라이버시를 중시하면서도 더 넓은 커뮤니티와의 연결을 원하는 사람들에게 적합한 플랫폼으로 거듭나고 있습니다.
Holloを紹介します！
Holloは、個人向けの連合型マイクロブログソフトウェアです。FedifyとBunを基盤に構築され、ActivityPubプロトコルを通じて他のインスタンスやサービスと連携することができます。
Holloの特徴は、一人のユーザーのために設計された専用のインスタンスという点です。これにより、ユーザーは自分だけのスペースを持ちながら、Mastodon、Misskey、その他のActivityPub対応サービスのユーザーとも交流できます。
独自のウェブインターフェースを持たない代わりに、MastodonのAPIと互換性があるため、既存の多くのMastodonクライアントアプリを使用してHolloにアクセスできます。これにより、使い慣れたインターフェースでHolloを利用することができます。
主な機能には、投稿の作成・編集・削除、返信、メディア添付、投票、お気に入り、ブックマーク、ピン留めなどがあります。また、プロフィール編集、フォロー/フォロワー管理、リスト作成なども可能です。さらに、Markdownをサポートしているため、投稿やプロフィールの書式設定が容易に行えます。
Holloは現在開発の初期段階にあり、継続的に機能の追加や改善が行われています。Bunを使用することで、高速なパフォーマンスと効率的な開発が実現されています。オープンソースプロジェクトとして、GitHubで公開されており、コミュニティからの貢献を歓迎しています。
個人のブログとソーシャルメディアの利点を組み合わせたHolloは、プライバシーを重視しながら、より広いコミュニティとのつながりを求める人々に適したプラットフォームとなっています。

Tried an update to the new Mastodon beta tonight but it didn't go well. I'm not sure what the problem was exactly. Non-docker, installed libvips, updated yarn and ruby. Failed on precompiling assets step with no specific error displayed.
I'll try again tomorrow. I'm very new with these installations (and I'm not hurting anyone it's a single user instance) so I'm sure it was something I messed up. The update to 4.2.12 went fine from 4.2.10.
#DhaagaUpdates v0.8.0 is out 🎉
✨️ Added #pleroma and #akkoma support!
✨️The app will now show parents posts and quoted posts (misskey forks only)
^ since mastodon and pleroma don't support it natively, it will be added in next patch.
✨️Also, now you can compose replies!
See you next release,
Deb 👋
You can opt-in to the beta notification grouping feature on #Mastodon, by clicking the gear above the notifications area and activating the toggle. Notification filters have been improved as well, and content warnings and word filters have a new and improved look across the web app. Enjoy!
Hier eine Grafik welche die unterschiedlichen #Zeitleisten in #Mastodon darstellt. Es gibt nämlich eine persönliche, eine lokale und eine föderale #Zeitleiste. Eigentlich ist es nicht so kompliziert und sehr clever.
Diese Grafik kann hier auch heruntergeladen und geteilt werden: https://www.mrak.at/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Mastodon-Zeitleiste.png
Hier ein Schaubild welches gut darstellt, dass die Grenzen des #fediverse nicht mit #mastodon enden. Es zeigt wie diese #systeme und #instanzen miteinander verbunden sind. Das alles ist sehr clever konzipiert und skaliert auch für für zukünftige Anforderungen. Offen und dezentral, das ist hier das Motto.

✨ Friendly reminder ✨ #Mastodon is older than:
* The fall of #Twitter.
* The birth of #Bluesky.
* The birth of #Threads.
If you feel like your timeline is empty, that nobody interacts with you, or that this space seems abandoned...
In summary, if you miss the artificiality of The Algorithm©, remember that you are the person in charge here 🤗 And that this is the most beautiful gift a social media platform can offer to anyone.
Mastodon has a lot of active accounts. Therefore, make your experience here more relevant by:
* Following other users.
* Interacting with them.
* Following hashtags (this is how you replace the recommandation algorithms).
* Following bot accounts (some are really great and useful).
This is gonna be fun 😊
There are some huge upcoming features coming in the 4.3.0:
- Notification settings (no more unsolicited private mentions for example, if you choose so)
- Know when you are severed from other servers
- Grouped notifications (no more endless likes, they are combined)
- Hover cards
- Timeline of public posts about a trending link
- Author card for news articles (works with fediverse:creator meta tag)
- Domain information to profiles in web UI
Loads of technical changes.
We, of course, here at mementomori.social already have these.
By the way, I didn't know you can remove followers.
Mastodon's features kick ass.
"There's a lot to be excited about, but we can't rush it. We have to show it. We have to show them how the Fediverse works and why the Fediverse works."
The ethics on the Fediverse are - on paper - better than alternatives.
So, why don't more for-good missions use it?
https://forbetter.ghost.io/the-future-of-social-media-are-ethics-enough/
There are some really nice updates coming in the next version of Mastodon, including grouped notifications and profile hover cards.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.0-beta.1
It's really tempted to try out the beta version, but the upgrade steps do look a bit scary. Really hope updating Mastodon will one day be as easy as updating a WordPress blog.
Hello world,
I've migrated to the archaeo.social server, so time for a pinned #Mastodon #Introduction!
I'm an #archaeologist whose research focuses on #AncientGreek animals from the landscape to the altar to the plate. To do so, I study the bones and teeth from ancient #animals.
It's a mixture of humanities and science: history and art meets biomolecules and skeletal anatomy
I believe that #archaeology is relevant to our own world and we need to be #inclusive (alt-text added now)

We are trying to inspire the people of #mastodon to reduce their waste. This social media is that special place where we were able to make an account on composting popular.
We only wish to give back and help the #climate by boosting your #climateaction
Thank you.
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.

TIL that you can self-boost a toot, which shoves it to the front of everyone's timeline (boo, rude).
... but I also learned that you can make a filter on one or more toots and select them individually to add to the filter (awesome, yay). So now I have a "squelched" filter to kill self-boosted toots.
I like how so far, every problem I have with this protocol already has a solution.
(... now to see how much work it would be to add "is self-boosted toot" as a criteria in the filter)
p.s. I'd say something like "Stop self-boosting your toots," but it's your service too and I ain't gonna tell you how to live your life. Just know when you're repetitive my squelch is judging you silently. ;)
Quick question here.
I there a way to search only profiles you follow?
Or their posts?
I sometimes have the problem that I'm looking for a person here on #Mastodon, I know I follow them but can't remember their enough name (or the spelling) or nick to use autocomplete.
I usually know keywords from their profile or parts of their name.
I actually hope that in:library would work but it doesn't seem to 😠
It's happening! My book about Mastodon and the fediverse is now entering the production phase!
My editor at Oxford is asking what sort of cover image I would like. Any suggestions? Boosts appreciated!

I’ve given up begging NPR, The Onion, and others on Threads to turn on fediverse sharing so we can follow them on Mastodon and beyond. Now resorting to memes and simply replying to people with the following link:
I just discovered #pipilo (again?)
@pipilo https://pipilo.thanel.me
Why did I deny it? Because of the odd app icon? :-)
Most probably because it is not free to use.
It has some genius features:
+ Multi Networks, I can use my #Mastodon AND my #FireFish accounts!
+ The horizontal times line. Sliding up while reading down is stupide.

Not gonna lie -- as a new #mastodon user I was awfully hesitant to click on #ThickTrunkTuesday. Glad it's not what I initially thought haha.
"…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."

@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.

And the milestones have been officially deleted. This bot will be deactivated for the time being.
Thanks everyone for following along!
Couple of quick #Pachli updates.
If you're on a server running the nightly version of #Mastodon your notifications might be delayed.
That's https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/31483 and probably affects all clients, not just Pachli.
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)
I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):
- Fixed a bug when viewing threads in notification screen.
- Implemented setting for CW toots (default collapsed or visible)
- Fixed dates
- Fixed image viewing
- Added help to toot editor
- Changed some colors
- Updated #curl to 8.9.1
- Added ALT text for image uploads

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 ❌😵💫
#Mbin ↔️ #Lemmy ⚠️😐
So in an article about 'breaking up with X', the FT's Katie Martin chooses Threads because she says she's lazy & easy to use.... unlike mastodon which is 'clunky'....
I'm not sure why she would find it clunky, but once again the mainstream media would rather go with (just) another Big Tech offering rather than actually explore a real alternative....
It really is like Pete Townsend says in Won't Get Fooled Again.
'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss'!

Tänään 5.12.2023 tuli vuosi täyteen Mastodontissa, siitä valtaosa eri instanssilla kuin nyt, https://mastodontti.fi/@lupposofi. Tämä on ollut ensimmäinen kontaktini tällaiseen sosiaaliseen mediumiin. Twitteristä, Facebookista, Instagramista sun muista pysyttelin visusti loitolla. Ajoittain on ollut mukavaa, ja paljon täällä on saanut oppia. Uusi maailma meikäläiselle monilta osin. Alun twitter-peräisten aggressiivisten höyryjen jälkeen ei ole tarvinnut ketään pitkästi mykistellä, saati estää. Jopa suodattimista saatoin luopua, koska päivän uutisten kaiutusta oppi sivuuttamaan selatessa. On ikään kuin "puhdas tili". Olen viettänyt täällä vain vähän aikaa, pitänyt taukoja, ja herennyt yleensä ilta-kymmeneen mennessä. Nyt syksyllä muutto ja lonkka-/ alaselkä-kivut kovenevine lääkityksineen ovat entisestään vähentäneet läsnäolo-aikaani.
Aloin lokakuussa kokeilla maksimaalista seuraamista. Sitä varten kävin läpi kaikki Rollen listalle ilmoittautuneet suomalaiset, https://mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/111260906223191964. Arvelin, että vain näin näen mahdollisimman monen kontribuutioita. Profiilista on näkynyt, kumpal kertyi [edit: enimmillään kai 514]. Tulokset eivät ole olleet häävejä. Osa seurattavista tuntuu pysyvän vaiti, kotijana täyttyy enimmäkseen vanhoista tutuista ja joistain kv-poiminnoista, eikä mitään kotoisaa "ekolokeroa" ole syntynyt. Jossain vaiheessa varmaan alan karsia seurattavia, jos arvelen mukaan tulleen "pelkkiä tilejä". Sellaisia myös pudonnee pois silmistä, jotka eivät *koskaan* reagoi mitenkään. Heille en ilmeisesti ole olemassa.
Omasta alun innostuksesta ja vaivannäöstä ei ole enää paljoa jäljellä, mitä pahoittelen tarvittaessa. Koetin kai tehdä tästäkin arpeetin, eikä siitä voinut seurata kuin turhautumista. Sittemmin olen kanssa-ajatellut etupäässä muualla (mm. elvyttänyt taas kerran sähkö-kirjeenvaihtoa), sen vähän mitä olen jaksanut. Täällä olen vaikuttanut lähinnä niukoilla tehostamisillani, joita näkyy profiilin alla. Joulun lähestyessä aktiivisuus ulospäin todennäköisesti entisestään hiljenee, ja ehkä alan taas suodatellakin. Saa nähdä, tuoko kevät täällä hääräilyyni jotain tolkkua.
Mutta kiitos (jokseenkin) kuluneesta vuodesta Mastodontin väelle, ja tämän instanssin ylläpitäjälle mahdollisuudesta kirjoittaa näin pitkästi.
I wrote a thing for The Conversation about the potential for a #TwitterMigration based on our past research. Including a little bit about #Mastodon though I have a lot more thoughts than are in this piece. :) https://theconversation.com/mass-migration-from-twitter-is-likely-to-be-an-uphill-battle-just-ask-ex-tumblr-users-193677

If you want your post's hashtags to appear separately from your actual content when viewed through the website, put them right at the end of the post with a blank line just above them.
I've attached an image to this post so you can see the post's hashtags displayed below it if you're viewing through the web.
Apps will probably display the tags as normal.
(By the way, this is purely for aesthetic purposes. It makes no difference to how the hashtags function.)

@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.
"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?

Hi dear #fedis #fedicitizens #fedinautes #fediusers or however I can reach the bubble #FediBubble of #mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #misskey users and all others:
Is there - or why is there no - app respecting the design of the own instance? What I mean is, there are so many cool and different instances, every with its own design (colors, fonts etc.) you only see if you are in a web browser. As soon as you are using a certain app, you have the app design. Is it so difficult to make this work? 1/2

Trying out this wacky #mastodon thing out. It seems like IRC for Twitter?
By way of #introduction, I'm a #malcontent #gay #GenX #nerd who has worked in #tech since the early 1990's. I also dabble in #synthpop / #electronica #music under the project name World Control. I'm very fluent in #python and #Java.
I'm a massive fan of #DoctorWho and #InformationSociety.
I also dabble in #HamRadio and simple #electronics. I also love #running, #cycling, & #swimming.
#Spatula is my favorite word.
In which I survey the current #Mastodon/#Fediverse tumult about our #BlackMastodon citizens experiencing hideous outbursts of #racism and abuse generally, and offer one or two ideas on improving safety: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/07/30/Invisible-Attackers: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/07/30/Invisible-Attackers
(BTW I strongly recommend following #BlackMastodon)
I'm an engineer and physicist now working in #RenewableEnergy, focusing on #EnergyStorage. I'm all about #Renewables and non-fossil energy, #Electrification, #GreenTech, #Sustainability, and #CircularEconomy.
#Physics is where I started and someday want to return, but currently focused on our great task.

Som jag förstår det är detta EU-kommissionären Thierry Bretons officiella konto på Mastodon. https://mastodon.nu/@EC_Commissioner_B[email protected]
Det ligger på en officiell EU-instans, som drogs igång som ett pilotprojekt för två år sedan.

I use OpenGraph meta tags on my sites to display previews on various social media services. This used to work fine, but I noticed that Mastodon and Twitter stopped showing images for one site recently, and I can't figure out why. I don't see anything that has changed. My server logs show Twitterbot is downloading the image, it's just not included in the link preview. Does anyone have tips for diagnosing this? Here's an example link. #WebDev #Mastodon https://robotspacer.tv/archive/hugo-trilogy.html

Is there anyone working on a "meta-fedi" service? Something between a federated link tree and an aggregator.
Let say I want to discover and follow someone's #mastodon, #bookwyrm, #peertube,... accounts but all aggregated in one feed?
Sure I could follow each account, but I could also very well be following one aggregation service.
That could also work very well for collectives, for example, aggregating feeds from multiple authors.
Fedi planet? Fedi tree?
Visto que la #TwitterMigration está siendo bastante relevante (mucha gente nueva y muchos de la oleada anterior que han vuelto) aprovecho para volver a presentarme.
Soy Nacho, me vine a #Mastodon en la oleada de abril y terminé montando mi propio nodo.
Sin ningún orden en particular por aquí seguramente me veáis hablar de:
📚 Libros y cómics
:flan_hacker: Seguridad y privacidad
:dnd: Juegos de mesa y rol
🚴 La bici como deporte y como medio de transporte
🧗♀️ Escalada
Well, here I am #mastodon. I never thought the day would come, but I've decided to join a different social media platform.
To be honest, I'm really sick of #twitter or #x (whatever) and all the bullshit that happens on that shitty site. Even though most of my memories and followers are over there, let's see how this goes.
What other #mastodon instances do people recommend?
Mastodon social has removed my posts three times now regarding the #genocide in #gaza.
My main topics - computing, generative art, python, human rights 🏳️🌈, climate emergency, food, coffee, pizza, comics, anti fascism, anti imperialism, anti colonialism, music, dance, photography, graphics, UX design, typography, art and its history, .. and loving books.
And maths!
I like to discover new things, not sure if small instances limit discovery?

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.
In the latest Vergecast, they joked about The Verge mastodon instance and that somebody will just do it
I guess, I am that software developer with a vengeance: https://theverge.space
So I host / own my own #mastodon instance, how hard / easy is it to make a bot to post strings I want? Where should I start?
If it annoys anyone else that the columns in the #Mastodon advanced view aren't resizable, I made a little jigger that lets you stretch and shrink them to your heart's content (with help from @[email protected])
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454111-resize-o-don
==Update== I've also made a script that moves the Navigation bar, search and compose message elements of the Mastodon advanced web interface out of their own column and on to the top of the first content column, freeing up space.
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468037-rearrange-o-don
==Update to the update (2024/07)== the re-arrange-o-don script doesn't seem to work well with recent versions of the Mastodon web interface, if you have trouble composing toots, I'd suggest you don't use it. The resize-o-don script still works fine.
You need to install a #UserScript addon like #TamperMonkey (https://tampermonkey.net ) or similar to run it, and then you can install my script from greasyfork: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454111-resize-o-don

I have such a low bar for typing things here, because I know:
- There are no algorithms
- No big brother watching
- My words are not being sold or analyzed or harvested
- There are no close relatives or family friends spying and lurking around
- I can decide about everything, even how this one post shows up and where
- I'm my own boss on my own server
- This is just one fucking insignificant post, not something to be replicated over centuries for the descendants of Zuck or Musk to poke on
- FREEDOM
#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.
https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/06/x-files-suit-against-advertising-groups-over-systematic-illegal-boycott/
In her defense of the lawsuit, company president #Yaccarino says that advertising is essential to any platform that will function as a public square. That's 180° wrong.
Holy smokes! Thank you for the love, #mastodon! I promise to start getting back to you this morning sometime and following everyone. Also I’ll get that introduction post, too. #goodmorning

7 hours later and still Threads & Bluesky are trending on X 👀
Sadly no sign on Mastodon, but maybe that's related to rumours of posts referring to Mastodon having limited reach (which I haven't seen proof of).
Really interested to see if there's data somewhere on sign-ups across these platforms covering the last week or so.
Parece que el experimento de tener mi propia instancia de #Mastodón se queda, así que me re-presento:

Sin sociedad no somos humanos.
Mastodon has a built-in post scheduling feature, but it lacks an official interface so you can only access it through third party apps/services:
- Tusky and Fedilab support scheduling posts. There's also a web-based service: https://plan.fedilab.app
- Professionals can use scheduling services like https://publer.io and https://buffer.com/mastodon
- If you're techy, you can self-host Mastodon Scheduler (https://github.com/scidsg/mastodon-scheduler) or Fediplan (https://framagit.org/tom79/fediplan)

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.

The Mastodon 1-click Digital Ocean droplet link in the official Mastodon docs no longer works. Maybe it's getting updated? It was a very old version. Hopefully it will make a comeback of some sort with the upcoming 4.3 rollout.
Threads used their platform to raise awareness for the Fediverse. What does that mean?

So, @openvibe.bsky.social might actually be the answer to a problem I've been wrestling with: how to post easily on both #BlueSky + #Mastodon. I don't have any intention of abandoning the fediverse, and blue sky strikes me as a bit quiet, but nonetheless there are people on both I'd like to interact with.
So far I'm impressed with the functionality...
Ich habe ein Tool entwickelt, mit dem ihr eure Twitter-Followings auf #Mastodon wiederfinden könnt: https://www.movetodon.org/
👉 Auswertung passiert lokal im Browser
👉 kein CSV-Import notwendig
👉 Liste nach Registrierungsdatum sortierbar ➝ neue Accounts schnell finden
I developed a tool to show you your twitter friends on #mastodon: https://www.movetodon.org/
👉 All data stays in your browser
👉 No CSV import neccesary
👉 List can be sorted by sign-up date, so that you can find new accounts fast
I've now migrated to a new (#selfhosted) #mastodon server, so here is an #introduction post for me to pin here
I'm a PhD candidate in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm studying Internet culture and am interested in how individual people relate to corporations, governments, etc. through various types of technology.
My dissertation is about how individual people are constructed as "Users" on the internet.
#DhaagaUpdates v0.6.0 is out 🎉
You can now create posts with #DhaagaApp
Works for #mastodon, #misskey, #sharkey and #firefish.
✨️ Auto-completions for accounts/emoji.
✨️ Add attachments. Set alt text and cw.
✨️ Immediately preview/delete the results.
See you next release,

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
Welcome to #Mastodon!
Here are a few resources to get you started.
1. A great intro: https://wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futuristic-mastodon-introduction-for-2021
2. https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ finds #Twitter people you followed, on Mastodon! You can bulk-follow them.
3. Follow many people, from many different instances, to feed both your personal as well as your instance's federated timeline. It's easy to un-follow later. Use boost often.
4. Use #hashtags! There is no algorithm selecting "top posts" for you; instead, trends are built on hashtags.
Hi folks, this is my new Mobile Atom Media and Code account. I will post about content marketing, SEO, web design, graphic design, writing, video production, the fediverse, and more. #Introduction #SEO #ContentMarketing #VideoProduction #Fediverse #Mastodon #WebDesign #GraphicDesign #UI #UX #Writing My name is Reuben Walker, and I am also on Mastodon at @symfonystation where I post about programming.
I think my favorite thing about #mastodon is the #FederatedTimeline where I can watch this whole, beautiful, gigantic world of people expressing their individual lives in many languages and scripts, in real time. It's magic.
@[email protected] · Reply to Michael R. Powell's post
Hang in there. Follow folks. There aren't any algorithms driving accounts into your timeline here. No algorithms trying to tweak your dopamine receptors either. So it's intentional. Follow accounts that interest you. But it's a coop, of a sort. So learn the group's rules and norms and you'll love it here.
#Mastodon
I have a bit of an #ActivityPub problem. I'm trying to implement an AP server that can send toots to #Mastodon. So far, I managed to follow a user on my server, that seems to work okay. However, when my server tries to send a Note, Mastodon accepts it, but it does not appear on the following user's timeline.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. HTTP Signatures appear to be fine, because otherwise the follow wouldn't work either, and the Note Create activities wouldn't be accepted either.
For reference, here's how the user looks:

When sending this to Masto, with http signature, Masto replies with "202 Accepted". But the user I'm following with, does not see the note on the timeline.
Do I need to implement outbox? I'd prefer not to implement outbox if I can avoid it.
If anyone wants to play with it, and perhaps help me debug what is going on, registrations on https://shoes.forgejo.madhouse-project.org/ are open. Creating a repo, opening an issue, and then commenting on that will all emit activities, which are sent to Masto as Notes.

Hi, everyone! I'm Miguel Caetano from Lisbon, Portugal.
In the past I was a technology journalist, a professional blogger, a communication researcher and a PhD grantee. But now I work as part technical writer, part front-end developer, part software tester.
More than 15 years ago, I wrote a master's dissertation on tactical media (and, by extension, Nettime). More recently I wrote a PhD thesis on how Portuguese and Brazilian Internet users interact with file sharing/P2P networks and services.
After that I enrolled on a 14-week long coding bootcamp. Nowadays, I work for a small Portuguese company called Cult of Bits.
Anyway, I'm very interested in engaging in thoughtful conversations about topics such as: copyright, file sharing, digital piracy and intellectual property, privacy and surveillance on social media platforms, cybersecurity, network neutrality, the social and ethical implications of the deployment of artificial intelligence, internet governance, cryptocurrencies and community wireless networks, etc.
I'm looking forward to see if this is the place :)
In case you missed it, I have a website as well which lists interesting Fediverse accounts to follow organised into topics:
To follow an account in the directory, copy-paste its address into your search box on Mastodon etc, this will bring up its profile where you can click "follow".
To find out more about an account in the directory, just click on its address and this will open its page on its home server.
@mastometrics is a unique way to look at statistics about your own account - for free. It's even connected directly from your profile in the @IceCubesApp app.
But all that data and storage costs money! Please consider contributing to keep this service going - and if the goal is reached, open sourced to make it self-hostable.
Some recent articles I wrote about the #fediverse:
"A lot of people think that the pentacle was chosen because of its occult or satanic connotations."

I've migrated Redis to KeyDB and separated the volatile cache from Sidekiq jobs and Mastodon timelines. While this might not result in a performance boost due to the low load, it will enable some exciting new features (spoiler: KeyDB supports master-master replication).
Stay tuned!

I think one of the nicest things someone on #Mastodon said to me was, "I usually look at a person's feed to see if I should follow them. I looked at yours & scrolled 40 posts and can't see a common topic in any of them so I decided to follow you"
Lol, this is the best way to write an #introduction for myself on Masto - Hi, I'm Liz, I promise you if you follow me you'll get completely RANDO thoughts from non-connecting topics from me all day.
Hello #Mastodon, I am seeking comments from the community to include in my next newsletter about #Google's change in their privacy policy. (They now say that anything you post online will be used to train their AI models.)
I am especially interested of thoughts from #writers and #artists.
How do you feel about this move? What do you think about placing your content behind a wall to protect it? And will this change how you post online in the future?
#MicroShit has taken over GitHub apparently. If you can't self host, we might be able to help you at MPAQ @seige , have any ideas.
#FuckMicroShit !!!
Our "admin" @admin has put out a program to list following and followers so, I'm going through my lists to find out who is missing and I've missed 😁 so far, its been tested on Mastodon instances but don't know if it will work on other platforms.
A topic that came up within the last few days is a way to look at your following and followers lists. Please don't abuse public data for others. Nothing fancy but here it is:

@mekkaokereke @ddritter at worst this can appear to others as if there are zero replies, even if there are dozens. #Mastodon doesn’t even indicate that to be the case.
The way this should work is either all replies are pushed to all following servers as they come in or that an on-demand fetch is in the protocol to allow servers to request missing replies (which a client could trigger).
@[email protected] · Reply to mekka okereke :verified:'s post
@mekkaokereke @ddritter it’s a really a bit worse than that. Due to the way #Mastodon federation works, other people will miss a portion of the replies to you. Potentially even the majority of them. They only see them if they follow that user or someone on their server follows that user, or someone followed on the server boosts the reply.
So a nazi, just by being a nazi and not being followed by decent people, will reply and only you see it.

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
#Mastodon people, I need your help to spread the word as much as possible about what is happening in my country #Venezuela. I cannot post safely on X, nor on Instagram. The government has assigned special commissions that are actively monitoring social media. In those places it is much easier for me to be tracked than here, that is why I am only posting here. I know that here I do not have the same reach as on other networks, but I will continue to report as much as I can. #freevenezuela #recist

#mastodon social removed a post today.
It was a map showing the drastic shrinking of Palestinian territory since 1946.
I challenged it - and mastodon social agreed they were in error.
It seems some bad actor is going around taking down anything that highlights Israel's crimes - 75 years of crimes.
To that bad actor I say -- "The world is waking up to what Israel is, you can't stop that."
Here's the map again because the post was not restored.

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.
Currently trying out #Friendica for a new issue of my newsletter/blog #TheFutureIsFederated and this GIF speaks louder than words. I’m OBSESSED 😍

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.
I'm going to be honest, I'm really starting to sour on #mastodon, the platform.
I've read through arguments and explanations over the past few days, and feel that I have good sense of the situation. Clearly, the Mastodon team is underfunded and under-resourced. I get that.
Other, smaller and less popular platforms have features aimed at the safety of the community. Maybe those are just not as polished, so many of us choose Mastodon.
But that just means this is about priorities, right?
It would amuse me greatly if everyone donated USD$8/month to their #Mastodon instance admins just as a mild ‘fuck you’ to Elön…

It is the 1-year anniversary of my joining #Mastodon over on mastodon dot social. I thought I'd post the #Top40 songs I've posted on #SoundCloud since joining!
Number 40:
No Story To Tell
When I Bookmark something, it's just for me.
When I Like something, it's just for me and the person who made the post.
When I boost something, it's because I want to share it with others.
There's no software in the background recording and evaluating my behavior so it can decide the best ads to show me, and what I should see or not see in my feed to increase my engagement.
It's pretty nice not being the product anymore and just enjoying the web again.
#Mastodon & #TwitterMigration FTW

If your home feed is too busy, try these tips before you unfollow folk.
1. Hide boosts on Home, or hide them from individual accounts.
2. Create a list, then hide it's members from Home and pin it up to read it separately, and only when interested.
3. If your 'Local Timeline' is too busy, try switching to a smaller instance that is more focused on your interests -- like theATL.social for the Atlanta region

#Moderators have said they need better tools to help them deal with #toxicity on #Mastodon
I'd be willing to start an #OpenSource project to build such tools. I'm a data scientist and could probably build a toxicity detector, but the project would also need
1. Somebody familiar with #ActivityPub
2. Somebody who could do UI
3. A domain expert - someone with moderation experience @proprietor do you know anyone who could help
4. Ethical oversight - could @DAIR help with this?
Mastodon is currently using between 9 and 10 GB of media storage, so it seems to have reached a sort of balance. I'm getting the hang of Ruby and have a general overview of the architecture. However, CSS changes and precompiling aren't showing any updates yet. I’ll read through some documentation to troubleshoot. #Mastodon (Server-Thread)
It’s still embarrassing to me how many here treat the CW hack as fact and scold users for not using it. Let me remind you that #mastodon abused the #activitypub standard to establish their own interpretation of the subject field to serve as #ContentWarning.
How the fuck is #Mastodon a worse place for black people than #Twitter #xitter which is owned and operated by an actual fashy techbro?
This is a major collective failure and instead of doing “well actually” at black users who talk about discrimination on here we should be working harder on community moderation, which may require adding new features to Mastodon.
We’re growing our product team!
Are you an #iOS Developer who wants to lead our official #Mastodon iOS #App?
This is a remote full-time position and requires an overlap with the CET timezone.
Ideally:
1. You are a senior iOS Developer comfortable with a mature codebase
2. Proficient in #Swift and #Apple Frameworks (UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine)
3. Prior experience with social media networks is a big plus!

Have to say, having come over from #Mastodon v4.2.10 and now being on Mastodon v4.3.0-alpha.5+glitch and starting my second full day on Infosec dot Exchange, I'm encouraged to learn that a lot of the Issues and Pull requests I (and others) yapped about on #Github are in fact pleasant improvements
Big ones:
1) The "Change hover cards to not appear until the mouse stops in web UI (PR #30850)" (on which I commented) turns out to be a big nothing-burger. They're really quite unobtrusive and in fact are rather interesting, Surprised how often I check them
Here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30850
2) Likewise, the "Add support for `fediverse:creator` OpenGraph tag (PR #30398)" seems to be quite unobtrusive as well, although I've seen little of it
Here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30398#issuecomment-2126430813
3) Dropping down the full text of large posts in the Home (or any) feed with the down-caret up-caret works great, and it's nice having the posting language and the post reach displayed there too
All-in-all, fun being out on the Mastodon bleeding edge, and fun seeing an interesting
/public/local/
feed again

🤩WELCOME to FEDI🤩
You're gonna like it here - I promise! I can't even stomach LOOKING at #birdsite anymore...
TIPS:
1. follow @feditips
2. use #hashtags
3. follow lots - build your network
4. boost lots - you ARE the algorithm (& likes are private)
5. search #hashtags which interest YOU
6. scan people's profiles
7. MORE TIPS
👉 https://fedi.tips/
8. stick with it - #fediverse is WHEY better than centralized corporate garbage 🧀
Keep track of Mastodon's development progress with @mastodonmilestoneprogress, updated daily.
Adding some more info to my “Mastodon starter pack” resource…
These are my personal “top tips” (10 total) for getting started with / using #Mastodon. (More info in the linked page below)
- When you come across an interesting post, Bookmark or otherwise save it! Finding old posts can be devilishly tricky.
- Add a profile picture, short profile description and make an intro post (using the #intro hashtag) and pin that post to your profile. While you’re at it, if you have a personal/professional web site, link to your site in your profile and use Mastodon verification on the site!
- Mastodon posts can be issued as “Unlisted” which prevents that post from showing up in people’s timelines. This is useful for replies with little useful context and for long multi-post threads, preventing you from spamming peoples feeds.
- If you are on a small or mid-sized, somewhat focused instance, make sure to leverage your “Local” feed to find interesting content and accounts.
- Boost interesting posts, especially those from accounts with smaller followings. *We* are the algorithm and discovery is made a lot easier when people share. Plus it makes the original poster feel good and gives their account exposure which is nice.
- Use a third-party Mastodon client. The first-party client is imo woefully underpowered. There are lot’s of great clients to choose from! (e.g. @ivory, @IceCubesApp, @mammoth, @trunksapp, @SoraSNS, etc…)
- Follow accounts when you see something interesting from them. It’s easier to unfollow accounts later that you no longer like than it is to find interesting accounts after the fact. Hashtags are also a great source of discovery.
- Want engagement? Want followers? Try engaging with posts and following people rather than posting into the void.
- Bootstrap your feed by leveraging an importable follow list. (I’ve provided some in the linked resource.)
- *Optional*: Enable search for your account! This is an opt-in feature but is great for people to help find you and your posts.

An #introduction post, eh? Like many others, trying out #Mastodon as my new #SocialMedia home.
I'm a long-time #tech/#gaming/#photography geek/nerd. I am currently the Senior Editor over at https://techaeris.com/, an independent tech/gaming news and review site. It's not my day job but keeps me busier — and it's more fun.
Other interests include #CraftBeer, #music (except country), #Oilers, #smoking (the meat, not the leaf), #nature, #science, #genealogy, #abpoli, #cdnpoli, and more.
Me (the user) reporting someone for violating server rules to me (the admin):
Coming up to 7 years on this Mastodon instance, although not always active. I've tried many federated platforms but always come back to #Mastodon for its many great features.
#introduction I was into #tech from vacuum tubes to Today. PC from 1980 with TRS-80. Internet from 1987 at work. I've written some on Medium and a book. Almost 60 years of #Music. I'm also into visual creation with my tea stains and #photography.

I'm in looking for a handful of people to test out a pre-alpha #Android #Mastodon app. Please DM me if you are active at giving feedback and not afraid of partially completed apps.
The app will be open sourced in the future.
Here are some teaser screenshots. #meowstodon

There will always be a specter looming over mastodon in the form of an unanswered question: What is social media for? Or put better, What do we want social media to be?
If it's just a place to scream into the nether, then it really doesn't matter who's listening to you.
If it's more than that, if it's a place for communities to collaborate and communicate; and I vibe with this more, then we will need to build it to be that sort of place.
I can't stress enough how important it is to see happy trans/queer/nb/LGBTQ+ people on social media.
People who are happy to be who they are.
It's not about denying the threats and discrimination, it's about showing people that our identity is a source of joy 'despite' all we have to go through.
I wish I could thank all the people on Mastodon who showed me all the different ways to be happy as a trans person. When I came out I still thought I had to follow certain rules to be a 'proper' trans person (after all, that's what I'd been told to do as a cis woman).
Now I know there's no good or bad way to be trans, nb or queer as long as you're enjoying being yourself and I have to thank all the people who are brave enough to put themselves out publicly for that. :heart_progress:

Are there any #ActivityPub server implementations that support #Misskey-style quote sharing and #Mastodon-compatible APIs at a time?
It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.
My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.
If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️
Et voici les Tutos Mastodon de la communauté #MastoEcolo
Nous sommes une centaine d'écolos (surtout #EELV) réunis sur une boucle d'échange par notre intérêt pour #Mastodon, ses principes et ses possibilités techniques.
On pense que c'est important d'en être, que c'est en phase avec les convictions et les valeurs écolos.
Et on a donc produit 4 tutos d'une page chacun, à partager librement (licence Creative Commons, PDF à jour avec liens cliquables au bout du lien) !
Es gibt sie noch, die guten Nachrichten: meine neue Wirkungsstätte, die @zlb_berlin ist als größte öffentliche #Bibliothek des Landes nun auch im #fediverse angekommen.

Today I have moved to a new #Mastodon instance/ server. All in all, it was a painfree experience.
(you can read about this here:

It will take some more time, until I will give here a proper #introduction...

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!

Trying to find how to move all your #Twitter contacts from the The Dead Bird to your instance but have a billion followers/follows like we do?
Use FediFinder: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/
A little over a year and I realize I never did a proper Introduction post. The Twitter Migration Thoughts I posted served well I guess. But given that there’s staying power here on Mastodon, here’s a new Introduction Thread.
I like to discover new things. News, yes, but not just news. Every day I learn something new is a good day is not only my mantra but it’s why my two great passions in life, making theatre and playing with technology, keep me going. /1
Should I write a very lightweight #activitypub implementation in order to learn the technology to the core?
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.
So I would like to add a "Login with Mastodon" functionality to some of tools/sites and I am wrapping my head around the topic for some time now. I see it elsewhere, brid.gy for example does this, so it's possible. But for what I can see, I need Client IDs and secrets in order to provide such a Login, on every instance?! I mean, how… I guess I don't see the obvious, but… Can you give me a hint? I am stuck.

Mastodon Emoji Update:
There are some new Mastodon Emojis.
Instance Admins can download them here -> https://next.niemann-sebastian.de/s/gByQDQWptqrnJL5
or get them here -> https://emojos.in/kopfkino.social
My chosen instance limits federation with threads.net (for well-documented and good reasons), so I can't directly follow accounts there.
However I still want to be able to follow specific accounts and refuse to make a Threads account. Is there a Threads equivalent to the bird.makeup Mastodon instance (which enables following Twitter accounts via ActivityPub)?
Went to bed last night when Mastodon for Harris was at $25,468.73. Woke up this morning to see that the #Mastodon community has raised $30,755.73. Definitely time to up the goal! As always, my gratitude to all those boosting, posting about, and donating. Something big is happening here. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
Just a note to my #Followers and potential future followers:
If you #Follow me and want to be followed back, please have similar #Interests tagged in your bio. If I check you out and we have nothing in common on the surface, I have no reason to follow back.
Though, it's totally okay to just follow me for the sake of following my crazy ass! I do appreciate the support.

#Mastodon will cut you off from your friends, so even if you do find them and send them a message, they won't see you.
They can't see your follows, comments, or reposts.
I did not #consent to this.

By popular demand (Well, @davbatz asked) Mastodon Link Ripper is available at https://github.com/ResearchBuzz/mastodon-link-ripper
It does just what it says on the tin: pulls recent timelines from the #Mastodon instance(s) of your choice, gathers the article links, removes duplicates, and displays the aggregate.
Plain CSS and JavaScript in an HTML file; I tested downloading and opening it locally in my browser and it worked fine.
🌟 Just started exploring Mastodon and loving the decentralized social experience! 🐘✨ It's refreshing to see such a vibrant community thriving on open-source principles. Anyone else new here or have tips for a newbie? Let's connect! #Mastodon #SocialMedia #OpenSource
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.
I’m lucky in my work to see firsthand the impact of what we do on systems and the people that run them.
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.
Well and it’s pretty neat to have a front-row seat (walk-on part?) to the revolution 😎 #TheFutureIsFederated

Did you know that #Mastodon 4.2.0 introduced additional search filters?
You can add text like "from:me", "has:media", "is:reply", or "language:de" to your search text to limit the results further.
That's not very user friendly, so we can do better.
Here's a user-interface change I'm iterating on for the next version of #Pachli.
The #Mastodon crowd is making short work of the goals I’ve been setting for the Mastodon specific fundraiser for Harris for President. We are closing in on $13,000 and I’ve set the ambitious goal at $16,000. Countless boosts and comments have led to 183 contributions so far. I had aimed for 100 today, so being so near to 200 is amazing. Many contributions are for $5; some for significantly more. All amounts make a statement: we stand with Harris. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/
The #Mastodon community has now raised over $7000 for Kamala Harris, via this portal specifically for us: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. Over one hundred Mastodon users have donated so far. And I just took the leap and made our goal for now $10,000. The boosts and comments have been so helpful. Thanks everybody. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
I'm doing something I never thought I'd get to do again. I'm specifically fundraising for a woman to head the Democratic ticket and to be the next President of the United States. I want to do this with all of you here on #Mastodon, so I've created a fundraising page specifically for us: #MastodonForHarris. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/
This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go?
I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this.
We've had some new folks join #mastodon and follow our official #TransportEvolved Account - but some are asking for our individual work accounts so you can keep up to date with our #EV #ElectricVehicle stuff.

For individual accounts, head to each person's respective account here - and if they have a personal account they're willing to share, you'll see it in their profile!
#Mastodon 4.3 beta when?
Has anyone done a deep dive on how the cost of my server is dependent on how many times my posts are boosted and as a result I'm financially encouraged to make worse posts and that's why all my mastoposts suck
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.
Finally got around to emailing #ECCHR to ask why they're not on the #Fediverse. Do you donate to an organization that's not on here yet? Email and tell them they should! Use your leverage!

I've recently migrated to this personal / single-user #Mastodon instance and finally got around to writing about that "journey”, explaining how and why I did it.
https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social
It is but one more way in which I am pushing further into adoption of #indieweb #ownyourweb #ownyourdata #ownyoursocial ideas.
Honestly, the hardest part about the move was emotionally leaving infosec.exchange, I explain why in the post (https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social#thanks-to-infosecexchange). Thanks for everything @jerry 🧡!
Ahh, sweet delight - the arrival of aggregated notifications is such a wonderful thing!
I'm seeing it now on #Mastodon v4.3.0 of the web client, while in the "Advanced Interface."
It's not under the normal account preferences (where I first searched for it) but in your "Notifications" column.
Click the little settings cog there and you can turn it on under the "Experimental Features" area.
Beautiful!

I need to do my periodic clean-up and check all the domains to see if there's any that need removing — but it's still quite a nice reference for people looking for new instances to browse or join.
Will do a clean-up soon and remove any dead domains from the list.

We deployed the grouped notifications experimental feature on mastodon.online and mastodon.social, and are looking for some initial testers to gather performance information and ensure it works properly.
This feature is only available in the web UI for now (see 2nd screenshot)
There are some known issues (around keyboard navigation) and the API is not yet final.
Please open a Github issue if you find any problem with them, so we can fix it before the 4.3-beta1 release!
I've built a tool to visualize, with which software a post on #Mastodon was boosted (and how often) and tested it against the most popular #Fediverse post of all time: Guess what, it was almost exclusively boosted from #Mastodon.
(Source: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/most-popular-fediverse-posts-june-6-2024-edition/ - thx @stefan)
At the moment, my ongoing poll looks noticeably similar, but there's still time (but it's sadly not bridged to #Bluesky):
https://social.heise.de/@mho/112806778323970989
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?
Updated: List of Helpful Mastodon Resources

Handmade list of resources for the federated social network Mastodon covering, how to use, find an instance, find people, tools and more.
A reminder that if you're trying out Mastodon again from any of the other platforms (esp twitter) - do yourself a favor and look at the web client https://phanpy.social/. It really is the best #Mastodon client out there, imho. So many of the pain points from this platform are fixed there.
**LAUNCH** of #ClimateDiary
Hashtag
I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have a collective Climate Diary (along the lines of the Sussex Mass Observation project): people from across the world recording and sharing everyday observations, experiences, thoughts, feelings relating to the #ClimateCrisis
I would like to try out simply using a #Hashtag - #ClimateDiary - here on #Mastodon to create this and I would like to invite you all to join in and share widely! 1/4
The fact that the U.S. State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program now runs its own #Mastodon server is a beautiful reminder just how far we've come in the past couple years. Amazing.

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?
A Mastodon app feature I’d love is a post frequency rate (i.e., “This user posts an average of 365 times per week”) on each profile page so I can quickly include that data in an informed decision about whether to follow them. (cc @ivory)
A collection of #Mastodon #PR s that were first implemented for #babka:
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24100#pullrequestreview-1339378347 (merged)
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24020 (merged)
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24073 (merged)
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24064 (merged)
Do you want to make sure you always notice posts by particular accounts you are following?
You can switch on notifications for posts from those accounts by going to their profile page and clicking on the 🔔 bell icon.
Clicking the bell means you will get a notification every time that account posts. The notification will appear in the same place you get notified about boosts, replies, mentions etc.
(If you change your mind, just click the bell again to switch it off.)
I think it is super cool that #Mastodon "tells" on admins when they take actions that affect users of their instances. A+ on transparency, even gives you a list of folks so you can connect with them elsewhere.
Nice, @Gargron

The update for #Mastodon patching the bug in the preview is near, so it's time for a last look at #traffic sources for @heiseonline:
#Twitter keeps decreasing and is already overtaken by Mastodon (thx also to problems with our bot for #X, when it works, X brings more people).
#Flipboard and #Facebook are growing again, #Bluesky and #Threads are far behind. But Threads brings already more traffic than Bluesky, although we can't autopost (every link) there.
Hey, #Mastodon admins, quick question for those of you using Object Storage for your instance…
I have a friend who’s self-hosting. Unfortunately, their storage fills up very quickly by caching every piece of inbound media that federates to it. Despite having settings in Mastodon to delete content older than a certain interval of time, storage still fills up rapidly.
What’s the best way to purge all the remote stuff, and only store media uploaded to your own instance? Is this some weird stuff that needs to be set up on the S3 side?
It's been a year since I joined this instance, and I've learned a lot more about #Mastodon that I've decided to make a new #introduction
Hi! I'm Jason. I'm a #software #developer, and I was born and raised in the #US but have lived in #Germany with my wife and kids for over 20 years now.
#GenX parent of a #nonbinary child. So supporting them is important to me. I play #Minecraft, and I #oilpaint as hobbies. I am a #geek and have been since before it was cool.
Little fiddly #Mastodon question: if I block someone, but other people who are not blocked reply to me and that person, Mastodon doesn't notify me about those replies, which I did not ask it to do. Or did I? Is there some setting I can change?
This is annoying because if one person is being a jerk or derailing a convo, I might like to block them but continue the convo with other people not being jerks, but then I don't see non-jerk replies.
Thx!

#Fediverse #SocialMedia #MastodonMigration #FollowFriday
Nicht alle #NeuHier
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.
#introduction Hi everyone I'm Triptych on just about every social network. My main account used to be @[email protected] but I set up a presence on https://omg.lol that has a https://social.lol account for #mastodon so here I am!
I'm a JavaScript coder, a game maker, and a writer who's just getting started on making waves. I hope you discover something cool from my toots.
I do know I am under attack since Twitter, I mean someone is combing through 15 year old FB posts. I'm getting all kinds of flags and warnings. Lol.
I was told I would be followed when I got the rape and death threats on Twitter for posting #Palestinian #art and lists of #academics #journalists and #doctors killed.
I'm just mad that #Mastodon is siding with the attackers, not their long time early users.
I had a HUGE account. Masto killed it. To appease the rape and death threat people.
Send me as much info about people you know that have been #suspended #blacklisted or #shadowbanned from #Mastodon
Imagine if some famous man had all his followers disappear!
5k was a lot on Mastodon. I brought my friends from Twitter. Known some for decades. Now disappeared.
I'm working on an article to be published in a global news site.
#Women especially, it seems that those of us with large accounts have been hit the hardest. Made invisible. Hidden behind #shadowbans
If this site is all we have left, we have to fight for it.
4 THOUSAND followers disappeared. Now my friends, the ones I follow, disappear by the hundreds overnight.
How?

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.

@Celeste_pewter I agree with you. But I have learned today that if you don’t celebrate violence against Trump you will be vilified on #mastodon. And if you do celebrate violence everyone else will vilify you. There is no winning here.
#Mastodon interaction lessons-learned:
— Be authentic.
— Like life, everyone is on their own journey and timeframe. Don’t compare yourself to others in posting frequency or content.
— Follower counts don’t define your/others’ value.
— When deciding between engaging and withdrawing, err on the side of engaging.
— Sometimes, threads you’re mentioned on just conclude. Your presence didn’t cause it to die.
— An ongoing conversation among mutuals isn’t purposefully excluding you. Most likely, they’d be happy to have you join in.
— Sometimes, people will stop interacting with you. As long as you weren’t being a jerk, it’s probably not about you, and you need to just let it go.
— Likes are unlimited. Go ahead and like that post; it’ll make the author’s day a bit brighter.
— If your post doesn’t receive likes, it’s okay. Your awesome post just got lost in the shuffle.
— Lifting up others feels really f$*cking good. Whether on Masto or elsewhere, aim to find yourself in a community where this is the norm.
I'll make an #introduction post like the rest of the cool kids. 😀
Hi, I’m Adam (he/him, :flag_bisexual: ). I work in #technology, as an #IT director for a consulting firm here in #Chicago.
I love #reading #books and #travel. I’m a #DnD amateur.
Some favorites: #StarTrek, #StarWars, #Heartstopper, #OFMD, #Archer, #SchittsCreek
Lightning round. Good: democracy, equal rights, the #LGBTQ+ community (protect trans kids!). Bad: fascism, the patriarchy, billionaires, book bans.
⚠️ 🚨
Anyone deciding to use the fediverse
to express their "joy" at the thought of a
attempted #Trump assassination
hasn't thought through the possible ramifications and
I will not hesitate to block them!
@[email protected] · Reply to Aurynn Shaw's post
I have 519 followers. Wish I could increase that somehow. But I suspect I am not wanted here because I am not the right kind of LGBT or liberal.
It's times like this that I hate #mastodon. Being told that calling for an end to #violence against EVERYONE is proof that I would sell out the #LGBT community and other marginalized people is abhorrent. It will further cause violence against those of us working to end violence against all of us. It is disturbing that our community attacks those of us fighting for our rights. So much for acceptance. #enbybishop
#LeadersFromLaw fundraising update, 7/13/2024: We are at $10,586, all raised here on #mastodon. Thank you for the boosts and contributions. This show of support for training progressive law students and lawyers to seek political and judicial office has been galvanizing.

Hello again #mastodon #fediverse.
Howdy #hachyderm.
Greetings, fellow traveler.
My name is Łukasz. Lukem or Luke is also fine.
Hailing from #Warsaw #Poland. Exploring fedi since 2021.
I build software and web things. If not, I'm probably blogging, taking photos or translating.
I toot about tech and nerdy things. I'm curious of everything - expect a lot of randomness in my boosts.
Came here for fun. Stayed for empathy, diversity and cat pics.
Hello #Mastodon!
New here from Facebook. Ill be posting some of my photos and videos along with some artwork from projects Im working on and from other media platforms
Fediverse Explorations is featured in the latest @MastodonEngineering Trunk & Tidbits!
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/trunk-tidbits-june-2024/
Hi 👋!
We're STAT, a health, medicine, and science publication from Boston Globe Media!
We're excited to join #mastodon and share our incredible #Journalism with all of you!
Explore more about us here: www.statnews.com
Thanks but no thanks to Europe Says / Walk News, whose constant firehose flood of the same stories, using the same hashtags, is making searching on #mastodon far less useful.
If you're #new to #mastodon, fresh off the (sinking) boat from #twitter, welcome. I came here from Twitter after my account was suspended for... no reason given / none I can think of, other than being critical of #elon, his coddling of extremists, and his bad management.
After I set up a mastodon account, I visited https://elk.zone , as @elk gives the interface a Twitter-like makeover. Effortless to use. Also has an app!👍
Be sure to post an #introduction and feel free to ask questions!
Why #mastodon? Even when it's maddening that so many who I miss and wish well of are still posting content on #twitter, in a way that helps #elon to harm the entire internet?
I'm here because I believe what we do matters. So does where we choose to do it.
I don't need to monetize content, but what I create is mine. It's meaningful to me, and useful to others.
#mastodon respects that, helps me create it, and delivers it to you, without laying claim to it.
#mastodon is worthy of my words.
Klingt immer etwas wierd zu schreiben, but ich hab n #KoFi Acc. um evntl. n paar der #Projekte auch zeitlich umzusetzten.

There's truth in the Embrace, Enhance, Extinguish theory. But #Meta has its own strategy. It's called Copy, Acquire, K*ll.
I wrote about that strategy as it relates to #threads and #mastodon. I also have some insight for what Zuck might be up to. It's not what you think.

What mail-providers do you use with your instance?
Every government organisation, publicly funded entity, should leave X as soon as possible. The platform is now even labeling investigative journalism from Bellingcat as an "unsafe" link. It shows how X (and/or Elon Musk) supports Putin's agenda in the war with Ukraine and other rightwing actors. It's clearly not a neutral platform that can be trusted.

Så här är en tråd om hur jag tänker om saker som är bra att göra, eller veta, när man tar sina första kliv i #Fediverse. Om andra ser och vill bidra till denna tråd, hugg in, så gör vi en fin start för många som vill få en bättre känsla för Mastodon och andra tjänster i Fediverse. Häng på!

#Fedify also focuses on the practical side of #ActivityPub. Its docs includes guidance on using the vocabulary API in line with de facto norms set by popular implementations like #Mastodon. Build more interoperable apps with less headache! 🤝

Otro consejito, para recién llegados y no tan recién llegados. #Mastodon y el #Fediverso en general pueden usarse desde muchas #apps. Su protocolo es abierto, lo que permite que cualquiera diseñe una app con todas las funciones, variando diseño, implementación, etc.
Por eso hay tantas opciones, para todos los gustos. Y, para conocerlas, tenéis esta tabla comparativa de características. Para iOs, Android y Web/Pc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1De5KRwqMIdwEryfoeBLARgxF7QgKkeOQBCilKuIdAXE/edit#gid=0
Mi favorita en #Android es @moshidon, aunque hay otras muchas muy buenas. Recomiendo que probéis alguna, porque la app oficial aún tiene pocos ajustes y carece de algunas funciones interesantes :mastodance:
I was feeling inspired after listening to this podcast. https://flipboard.video/w/sQCNmXx332xi3Y3dVVjd37 So I decided to have a go at visualising “What a Social Web Browser could look like in the near future” This is my 2nd Mock up. This time I have added a few notes.

Ignoring the design, what other features/services do you think should be integrated the Social Web in the coming years?

¡Hola querida comunidad!
Quería preguntar por videos, artículos que estén buenos y fáciles de entender, preferiblemente en castellano sobre el #fediverso, el protocolo #activitypub y servicios como #mastodon, #peertube... Me he propuesto hacer un artículo sobre ello para el trabajo ya que creo que es importante difundir estas alternativas. Por supuesto mencionaré las autorías de las fuentes.
Sé que @kyva tenía un vídeo explicativo molón pero son incapaz de encontrarlo de nuevo

It seems like the question was too simple for some… I like using #Mastodon to look at #astrophotography, to engage in non-algorithm driven conversations, and to share the games I’m currently playing. How about you?
Mastodon is basically a federation of planets.
Each instance is its own solar system. Everyone that plays nice gets to interact across the fediverse.
When the Borg show up, everyone blocks them and they get banished to the delta quadrant.

If you're into Trek and this resonated, you should read my short thread on that time I worked with LeVar --> https://lawfedi.blue/@jonpainterphoto/
I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):
- Updates to #mbedTLS and #curl
Grab it at https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon
If you want to try the #Linux version check out the compilation instructions linked in the README

There's 2 mental styles:
❤️ Heart first: "Fuck Joe #Biden!"
(unsaid: 🧠 although I'm still voting for him)
🧠 Brain first: "Vote Joe Biden!"
(unsaid: ❤️ I wish it were someone else though)
I think there's 9,000 exchanges on #Mastodon I've been in or witnessed where about 9,000 tons of unnecessary drama gets generated because of the conflict between those 2 mental styles
So let's all chill out and clarify before we go attack dog
Having said all of that, if you don't #vote, go fuck yourself
Last Week in #Fediverse - ep 76
This week's news:
- A fully-featured review platform for the fediverse with @neodb
- #Mastodon better supports journalism with author bylines on links, and seeing what people are talking about on trending news links
- The first Ghost instance joins the fediverse, at @index
Read at: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-76/
Just migrated off of mstdn.social, it's time for an #introduction.
trunks is a FREE modern cross-platform #Mastodon client available on iOS/OSX, Android and Web!
It supports:
- Large screens and foldables
- Multiple accounts
- Push notifications
- Rich content discovery
- Followed Hashtags
- Post editing
- Threaded replies
- Thread unroll
- Dark mode
- Media aspect ratio options
- Reply sorting
- Themes
- Quote Toots
- Markdown
- Notification grouping
...and more!
Pretty neat! If you're on mastodon.social (or another server running the latest in-development version of Mastodon), you can go to the Explore page eg. https://mastodon.social/explore/links and view posts that discuss trending news articles (see the "X posts" below the headline link).
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.
I almost chose the single user option on #Mastodon, but @erik snuck in before I could push the button. He was punished by being made a moderator. The dream is that a bunch of local STL people use my instance and we have a built-in #hyperlocal TL. No following or anything necessary.
I'm also good with no one showing up at all and I have a perfectly curated set of #hashtags
It's nice here.
@[email protected] · Reply to Ramesh 🎵 Kamala La Bamba 🎶's post
⬆️ New hashtags are born.
Since joining #Mastodon exactly a year ago, I’ve coined dozens of hashtags, some of which are listed on my profile.
Today, I introduce two new ones:
✴️ #shamAntisemitism — to describe grotesque mischaracterizations of a serious topic, and
✴️ #antiDreyfus — to tag posts that I believe attack individuals with vile and #trumpedUp charges of #antisemitism, with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Ds_of_antisemitism as the guiding tests
I've been here for way too long and never posted a pinned #introduction. At least in a semi-professional sense.
I'm a #hispanic (Puerto Rican 🇵🇷) freelance developer in C# and full stack web development (and other languages). I created and maintain #OpenDyslexic, a #typeface that helps with readability that is used by companies and people worldwide.
I had a TedX talk about it.
I have other software projects that you can find at https://abbiecod.es .
I keep a windows computer in my iMac G3 case.
My hobbies have included e-ink displays with my children, making a laptop in a PowerBook G3 with a Raspberry Pi with a high resolution display. And an operating system.
Right now, I maintain OpenDyslexic and am working on a #Mastodon client.
Well, now you can track & monitor Russian & Ukrainian Telegram posts on #mastodon, translated and archived with videos/images from a selection of 90/60 telegram channels available here https://osintukraine.com/sources

Hello, Fediverse!
We just shipped NeoDB 0.10 , with revamped i18n support and other features. A dedicated project site is also up: https://neodb.net
If you haven't heard about #NeoDB , it's basically Goodreads+ Letterboxd + RateYourMusic + Podchaser, all in one place, #opensource, powered up with #ActivityPub, plus microblogging, like #Mastodon and its apps.
Love to hear your thoughts, and if you find this project useful, or think someone else may think so, please help boost!
I finally got around to cleaning up the code of my ActivityPub visualization project "FediWatch" and publishing it!
https://github.com/ThomasLeister/fediwatch
I'm sure the documentation is not yet complete or still has bugs - just like the application itself. But if you are brave enough, you are welcome to give it a try.
... or simply take a look at the demo for the metalhead.club: https://watch.metalhead.club

現在Mastodonでは、Misskey等、他のActivityPubソフトウェアから受け取ったコンテンツのHTMLの中で、<strong>や<em>の樣な無害な幾つかのタグに限ってレンダリングしています。私はこれに加えて、所謂「#CJK」と呼ばれる東アジアのテキストでよく使われるルビ文字に關するタグも許可リストに入るべきだと思います。ルビ文字は單に文章の表現を追加するのではなく、實質的に文字の讀み方を示す方法でアクセシビリティにも役立ちます。MastodonのGitHubのイシューにも書いていますので、是非ご覧ください。

現在 Mastodon에서는 Misskey 等 다른 ActivityPub 소프트웨어로부터 받은 콘텐츠의 HTML 中에 <strong>이나 <em>과 같은 無害한 몇 가지 태그들에 限해서 렌더링을 해주고 있습니다. 저는 이에 더해 이른바 「#CJK」라 불리는 東아시아 텍스트에서 자주 쓰이는 루비 문자 關聯 태그도 許容 리스트에 들어가야 한다고 생각합니다. 루비 文字는 單純히 글의 表現을 더하는 것이 아니라 實質적으로 文字를 읽기를 나타내는 方法으로 接近性에도 도움이 됩니다. #Mastodon GitHub의 이슈에도 글을 남겼으니 살펴봐 주세요.

That’s a very funny question. It’s like asking about the longevity of the Internet. As long as there are users and servers, Fediverse will thrive.

Since it seems to be the #mastodon tradition ...
I live in #Vancouver , #canada (on unceded territory; https://vancouver.ca/people-programs/land-acknowledgement.aspx).
I am a core developer on the #python programming language (19 years and counting).
Spare time is:
- #opensource (https://github.com/brettcannon/ , https://snarky.ca/)
- #movies (https://letterboxd.com/nothingbutsnark/)
- #tv shows (https://trakt.tv/users/brettcannon)
- #gaming (mostly Destiny 2 and Marvel Snap ATM)
The new byline feature from #mastodon is cool, but once again the mastodon team is only interested in a mastodon-compatible fediverse and steamrolls over criticism.
Hello. This is an #introduction post. I'm Jay. https://cuthrell.com is my self-hosted #mastodon instance and the vanity domain name I'm using has had many purposes over the years. I write a weekly #newsletter on https://fudge.org and that vanity domain name has had many purposes over the years too. If you want to learn more about me you can visit https://jaycuthrell.com which is yet another vanity domain name that has had many purposes over the years as well.

If you’re seeing this for the first time, hi! I’m a #Mastodon utility for iOS and macOS. You can enter any Mastodon server and see things like registration requirements, rules, custom emoji (even grab them for your own use) and which other instances they’ve blocked. The blocked domains are handy because you can export them in the exact format that Mastodon accepts for import, so you can bootstrap your list of blocked domains if you’re starting out. https://apple.co/3VUPytt
Adorable @mastowatch shirt - and finally a fedi related long sleeve option!
I'm doing my part...to spread the word about Mastodon on BeerAdvocate and beyond!
* Link in the footer of every page (millions)
* Recent posts embedded in the sidebar of nearly every page
* “Follow me into the fediverse on Mastodon!” appears in my signature (13,500+ posts)
* Callout on my profile
* Highlighted on: https://www.toddalstrom.com (linked in my signature + all social profiles)
* I'm constantly recommending it to other beer geeks
…are you?
Does anybody know of a web client for mastodon similiar to tweetdeck with a really cool retro style?
Im not sure anymore if i might just have dreamed that. But I have this vivid memory trying out a web client like that 2 years ago.
I am aware of mastodeck and those who pop up if your search for alternative web clients, but it had a really distinct style.

Neue Community auf feddit.org: FOSS - Deutschsprachige Community zum Austausch über Freie Software 💻
Da wohl wirklich nur noch wenig Hoffnung besteht für einen problemlosen Weiterbetrieb von feddit.de, gibt es für deutschsprachige Diskussionen und Nachrichten zu #FOSS -Themen nun diese neue Community auf feddit.org:
👉 feddit.org/c/foss_de
Inhaltlich kann es um Alles rund um #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #FreieSoftware gehen, was Euch interessiert - seien es bestimmte Anwendungen, neue Releases, Fragen, Tipps und Empfehlungen oder auch gesellschaftliche Initiativen wie #PublicMoneyPublicCode und vieles mehr.
Es ist eine Lemmy -Community auf #fedditOrg. Ihr könnt die Community auch von #Mastodon , #Friendica #Akkoma etc. aus abonnieren. Und ihr könnt damit auch ohne Lemmy-Account Beiträge darin erstellen, indem Ihr den Community-Account [ät][email protected] taggt. Ausführlicher hier.
Wenn Ihr auf Lemmy aktiv seid, könnt ihr Euch gerne auch noch als Co-Mods melden.
Es gibt schon lange eine sehr große und aktive englischsprachige Opensource-Community [email protected] , aber um sich zu deutschsprachigen News auszutauschen oder Fragen auf deutsch zu stellen und zu diskutieren, soll diese Community als Ergänzung dienen.
Die bisherigen Beiträge der Feddit.de-Community sind u.a. hier zu sehen.
Damit aber erst einmal: 🧡lich willkommen in der neuen Community @foss_de ! Ich bin gespannt auf Eure Beiträge.
Hello, and welcome to https://poweredbygay.social. We are a #Mastodon #Instance for #LGBTQIA individuals who's interests include things like sports, camping, hiking, all around adventuring.
I hope we can create a fun community here on our corner of the #fediverse
If this sounds like your kind of place, feel free to sign up, or even transfer to here. All LGBTQIA and Ally's are welcome.

Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)
Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.
The important bit is that comments to posts *don't* get the tags.
Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and get a feed only of posts.
EG: #asklemmy
If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.

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.
Appreciation post for how #mastodon has never tried to sell me anything.
Thank you :emoji_wink:
Earlier today, I posted a brief update on my #LeadersFromLaw fundraising effort. Then, it stood at about $2400 toward a $5000 goal.
Well, something amazing has happened: we have surpassed the goal, with a current total of $7,517.81, all raised through the #Mastodon community. The people I work with at #AmericanConstitutionSociety are impressed and inspired. Me too. With immense and heartfelt gratitude, I offer some reflections in the rest of this thread. https://www.leadersfromlaw.com/ 1/
I have a small bit of good news, especially for #Mastodon folks who helped with my first fundraising ask for #LeadersFromLaw. Last week, I posted this, https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/112685610831584961, explaining Leaders From Law, a small nonprofit I founded in 2017, to train progressive law students and lawyers to run for office. I now have the honor and pleasure of reporting that we have raised $1917 of the $5000 I am aiming for. 1/ https://www.leadersfromlaw.com/home
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to migrate from one account to another; you want to find a place that isnt in Germany….or Iran or other nations that might begin with I. There is a lot of things going on at Mastodon.Social regarding account banning that, they assure you, has absolutely NOTHING to do with current issues of the day, you were just rude…and full disclosure citizens, I was. But the thing was, I swore, I insulted people, things, places and concepts I found to be evil and Mastodon.Social did nothing; not a blip not a warning, not a peep. I am not pressing the boundaries of moderation here, but I will tell you that when I said, “Show me the specific post” they sent a whole bunch about exactly more than half of which dealt with the kind of issue that will get you banned in Germany. This profile is about economic and political justice; and the sore need for it in the world and (for me) especially in the United States of America. I’m not porting my account to abide by the new rules, but make no mistake….My account WAS BANNED at the behest of political authorities for political reasons for oppression.
Full stop, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

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

I was tagged to a bunch of HUGE zionist sites for posting artwork by Palestinians.
It was a dirty war on Twitter, I was sharing live chats from people on the ground, moving tents, donating money. Helping, you know. Most real help goes down in shitholes.
I had a huge following, so I was tagged and immediately received death and rape threats from the worst of the worst. The ones spreading murder porn.
I was suspended within 3 days, and then the attacks started on my other sites. Especially .Social, i had almost 5k followers.
I've had to move 4 or 5 times since. All for zionist related reasons, super twisted reasoning, I think the admin would rather not deal with all the reports they get, so suspention after suspention.
Because I'm not antisemitic, I just hate killers. I grew up in arab countries so am not an Islamaphobe.
They mostly report where I make fun of the bible or capitalism.
"Drop an insult on the ground and the correct owner will pick it up."
So from 17k to 5k to now 700.
I have all the complaints, excuses, shunning and excommunications screenshotted.
I did make one honest mistake regarding ww2 history, confusing the words Kristalnacht with Reichstag.
Bad blunder. But I never studied the Nazis, and the context was obvious. Anyone could have corrected me. But they hung on to it for dear life and the admin (man) made a huge deal of it.
Even tweeting about it to his gazillion followers (without context, my explanation, or sincere apology). So some people think im an actual nazi. Sigh.
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.
Support your local admin. They volunteer their time running these instances, kick them a few bucks a month if you can afford it.

Then I started using #Mastodon on a daily basis. It was (and still is) slower, and the lack of algorithm does mean I have to proactively follow more people and search a bit for content.
I migrated to #Mastodon some months ago, and I deleted my #Twitter account. Actually, I deactivated it, then waited the mandatory 30 days, then went back and re-registered it, then froze it (no avatar, changed my display name to my #Mastodon account, locked it, followed nobody) - just so that someone doesn't steal it, as I had some thousands of followers and didn't wanna risk to get them swindled by haters or something. I did have plenty of those and who's to stop them from impersonating me?
I feel #Mastodon merits a vocabulary shift, given its design's contraposition to Twitter...
How about:
Accounts/Users = #People
Content = #Conversation
Engagement = #Connection
Consumption = #Communication

It has been announced that a major security fix release for #Mastodon has been scheduled for this coming July 4. While I appreciate that the U.S. is but one country on this planet, it does represent a large proportion of Mastodon instances, and July 4 is major holiday here when many system administrators may not be available to do a timely update as information about the associated security issues becomes known.
I urge the @MastodonEngineering team not to release on July 4.
Thanks. -L
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.”

Currently, #Mastodon only renders a few harmless tags like <strong> and <em> in the HTML of content received from other ActivityPub softwares like Misskey. In addition to these, I believe that tags related to ruby characters, which are often used in East Asian texts such as so-called #CJK, should also be allowed, as they don't just add to the presentation of the text, but actually represent how the characters are read, which also improves accessibility. I also wrote about this in an issue on Mastodon GitHub:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8474#issuecomment-1647334955
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.

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.

This was my very first #Mastodon post.
I thought these things would expire out eventually, but I suppose not.
Looks like I posted 8 times in 2017, then a whole lot in 2022.
I think it's time for me to review all accounts and hashtags I am following on #mastodon/#fediverse. The "we're all gonna die" vibes and not helping

I just saw a post that made me realise the importance of something I should’ve realised months ago:
Unlike on the birdsite, or #Facebook, you don’t have to make your posts performative in order to trick an algorithm into showing them to your _own followers_.
That’ll happen every time, since it’s just chronological. You don’t have to write for _advertisers_ or _engagement optimisation_ or gods know what else just to have your toots be shown to your _own friends_.
You can just write whatever the hell you want and that will happen every time.
It’s not just the ads or the owner’s political agenda that’s different.
It’s that you don’t have to _perform_ for the _machine_.

Hey, #Mastodon users and #MastoAdmin thinking about Threads!
1: Users:
A: You can limit who can send you DMs/PMs! You can also limit notifications!
B: You can also block a site entirely for yourself.
See attached pics for how.
2: Instance administrators:
If you don't want to block threads.net entirely, consider these options for your userbase's safety:
A: Between "Full federation" and "Suspend" there is LIMIT, which hides content from an instance unless a user either follows the user posting it, or searches for it.
B: There is also "Reject media," which means you never cache a remote site's attachments. This de facto makes all such content sensitive ("unavailable"), requiring an additional click to view.
Seit über drei Monaten wächst dieser Account, für das große Interesse, die rege Beteiligung und all die vielen Hinweise schon einmal vielen Dank.
Jetzt stehen hier ein paar größere Änderungen an. Mehr dazu gibt es dann morgen hier beziehungsweise vor allem an anderer Stelle.
Vorab nur so viel: Die Umzugslaster sind bestellt. 😎

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.
Okay, okay, at @nova's behest, an #introduction post:

In 2020, I became the #founder of Unobvious Technology, aiming to improve the safety, #security and profitability of #sexworkers and advance the #adultindustry
:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2024-06-30+pr30850. The server has Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc38 installed.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 238 commits ahead from the last version 2024-06-01.
This version contains some fixes to both Mastodon and Mastodon Bird UI. Most notably the new experimental hover cards feature is available for our instance.
As usual, please tell me about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

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.
🌟 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.

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.

Bon ben j’ai décidé de ne plus partager les pouets qui utilisent des raccourcisseurs d’URLs.
Sur #mastodon une URL à un coût de 23 caractères quelque soit sa taille.
Il n’y a donc aucune raison de cacher des #URLs.

This is the first time I'm sharing something like this to #Mastodon. I hope you all enjoy it :D

#Introduction #Introductions Good morning! I'm Alberniweather - My name is Chris. This is the #Mastodon account for the Alberniweather.ca website. I've created this analog to the @alberniweather twitter account where I have been sharing posts from the blog and sharing timely comment and information about weather and other natural phenomena in and around Port Alberni BC, and Vancouver Island for many years.
I often touch on #ClimateChange as well. Happy to be here.
Wow, my colleague just federated my @Flipboard profile. Now you can follow what I'm curating into #magazines the #fediverse. How cool is that! 🤩
Really excited where all this is going!
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."

@[email protected] · Reply to Bread and Circuses's post
Many years ago, when I was still working, I had an active Facebook account with over 5000 followers. That didn’t really make me a big deal there, of course, but I was proud of having at least some influence on a few people.
I left Facebook behind when I retired in 2012 and relocated to Europe. I needed a little time off then to recharge my batteries, rediscover my identity, and relax before jumping back into the fray.
After a year or so of chilling out, I started a Twitter account, calling it Bread and Circuses. My focus initially was on the appalling state of traditional party politics, especially in the USA. But as time went on, I felt increasingly compelled to comment on the worsening climate and environmental crises.
Upon my return to the USA in 2018, I tried to make my Twitter presence more meaningful, but it never took off. I couldn’t find traction there. And we all know what happened soon after that…
Space Karen arrived and quickly made Twitter toxic, so I jumped over to Mastodon in November 2022. That’s a choice I will never regret. It’s been such a joy to connect with so many smart, caring, and sincere people here. I feel incredibly lucky and very very happy. 🤗
Thanks, everyone, for all your support and for the great contributions you make in commenting on my posts. We are indeed stronger together!

📢 (1/3) A quick announcement 😊 !
I decided to move servers with this #diningcar account from the big instance "mastodon.social" to "rail.chat".
I did this because, I think the re-centralization is bad. As people join #Mastodon, there’s a natural tendency to join over-sized servers that don’t fit well with the original design of Mastodon and can lead to problems.
This account is a railway-enthusiastic account. I share pictures from trips with dining cars (mainly from Europe, where I live!)
This is how we should advertise #Mastodon on other #SocialMedia
#Threads #Twitter #Instagram #Meta #Facebook #TownSquare
#Fediverse
Wait, Threads is now blocking mastodon.social?
https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
EDIT: mastodon.social has been removed from the list after about 30 minutes. It will be interesting to hear what happened, and how this affected folks who follow each other.

Trump said "finish the problem" about Gaza in March. He would greenlight #Netanyahu for #Israel to max out #genocide on #Palestinians
So you're asserting your single-issue concern as more important than other issues and you're even wrong on that one issue
Biden sucks, but Trump and Biden are the only two who have a chance of winning. Again: #strategy, not #emotion
#Emotional #manipulation is how #geopolitical #trollfarm moves to topple #American #democracy, those #trolls are here on #Mastodon

Okay, this is possibly going to be controversial in some quarters, but it has to be said for the good of the Fediverse:
Mastodon.social is not a good way to join Mastodon. If you're already on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to another server. I've done an article about this topic at:

Are we ever going to get quote toots? I know they said yes, but that was well over a year ago. #mastodon #fosstodon
Wasn't #mastodon supposed to get quote posting? What's up with that?
Nice quality of life improvement added to the latest #Mastodon code: account cards on hover!
A perfect companion to the upcoming grouped notifications 😃
We need to tune the behaviour a bit, but I am already missing them when using another instance.
All of this will be in 4.3, which we plan to release soon!
Hello #Mastodon！
Apparently I'm not following enough, looking for more users to follow, didn't get much feeds into my timeline. Any recommendations?
(Try to avoid tagging with @ without user's consent)
I wonder what's the limit for "featured hashtags" on Mastodon? 🤔 How many can you add?
another cool looking #Mastodon instance
In 2017, I founded a small nonprofit that trains progressive law students and lawyers to run for office, especially at the state and local level. I have run workshops every year since then, using the first $5000 I raised. Now, I need to do another round of fundraising so the work can continue. I’m a little nervous about doing this on #Mastodon. But I won’t go back to the bird site, so I’m going to see how it goes. 1/ https://www.leadersfromlaw.com/home
I wrote a little Python script that downloads domain blocks from a specified Mastodon server and saves it as a CSV file that can be imported to your own server. In case this is something you need.

⚠️Warning to all Fediverse Admins: the data scraper @[email protected] 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 @[email protected] 😒🤬

@fcktheworld587 fake news/misinformation is only not a thing because we can call people out on that bullshit.
However, #Mastodon is adding "limit replies" soon so that people can spread misinfo without being checked! Doesn't that sound fun?!?🤦♂️🙄
@[email protected] · Reply to Tom Sheppard's post
Not only can #Mastodon say a post has been edited but have no edits, it may also say there are 3 edits but the last 2 are identical to the first for both the edited date and content. This is … sub-optimal.
I wish #Mastodon / #ActivityPub had like, native, seamless, keep-the-old-timestamp post migration between instances tbh. I do miss my .ART backlog.
Even though #Bluesky is only allowing self-hosted PDS instances (right NOW*), you can take your backlog and social graph with you when moving within #ATProto
Is it that #Mastodon is very unpredictable in terms of the responses one gets to toots (likes, responses, reposts). Mine vary with each toot, so either we're all on a variable reinforcement schedule or I don't know how to Mastodon properly🤔
People of the #fediverse, I am going to setup a new personal instance server for just myself and a small group of folks. Are we still happy with #mastodon or is #pleroma best suited? I have experience with Mastodon and know what that is like, not sure of Pleroma.
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.

@BlazedCloud There's pretty much no information anywhere about your pricing tiers apart from a single post on #mastodon showing that the 1 TB tier dropped down to $7.99US/MO last week. Is there anywhere to get this information that doesn't require signing up for your service? This is basic salesmanship...

What is the best activity pub platform for uploading short-ish personal videos? #activitypub #fediverse #mastodon #pixelfed
TIL that #Mastodon will indicate a post has been edited, but when you look at the edits it says it was edited 0 times. Bug or design intent?
And....my hype for Threads replies has immediately been killed.
Replies are only shown to the OP. It's *something* but all this fake integration crap is starting to piss me off now...🤬
Edit: Confirmed. Replies are only shown to 1 person. You can't mention multiple Threads users and have them see it publicly. This is ridiculous at this point...🙄
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.😔
You folks on larger instances probably don't see this, but often when somebody boosts a reply I can see the boosted reply but not the OP. (Original Post starting the conversation thread.)
This is because I am on a very small instance (mostly me) and not everything flows here. Understandable. Not a bug.
But I just discovered #Mastodon gives you a workaround: You can copy the link to the page of a post (hamburger menu, 'Open Original Page') with a right click.
Then paste it in the search box!
Is it just me or is posting on #mastodon increasing again? I have upwards of a 1000 toots to read every day now, just like whwn I joined. Cool!
Man, we are so fucked
"Company cuts costs by replacing 60-strong writing team with #AI"

> Since Ditto implements the Mastodon API, it can work with any Mastodon app!
> Users of Mastodon and Pleroma will be happy to see search functionality that actually works. 😂
> Ditto is built in Deno with TypeScript. It's basically a REST API with a built-in Nostr relay. This is the same design as Mastodon and Pleroma, replacing ActivityPub with Nostr.

A quanto pare nell'ultimo anno il #fediverso ha perso ben 3500 istanze per sempre, sono circa 300 al mese, e continuano a diminuire al ritmo di una decina al giorno.
Non mi stupisce, per anni si è stati convinti che i #social siano gratis e molti lo hanno creduto. Però i social hanno bisogno di server costosi e serve molto tempo per gestirli.
Alla fine tutte le difficoltà sono venute a galle e il colpo di grazia lo hanno dato i recenti attacchi hacker che hanno colpito duramente #mastodon.
Um... what is going on on Mastodon? A bunch of ads from some user I don't follow just showed up on my home feed.
Who can reply?
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/06/who-can-reply/
Vague thoughts as they enter my brainbox.
The BlueSky social network has introduced "Reply Gating" - it looks like this:
You can write your hot take on Taylor Swift and not be inundated by weirdos replying to you. Nifty!
This is nothing new. Twitter has it. Facebook has the concept of "audiences" to restrict who your post is visible to.
And, of course, blogging has this! There is a comment form at the bottom of this page - and I moderate it. If you post something stupid, I don't have to subject my audience to your inanities. I can (and do) block users from commenting.
ActivityPub doesn't have this (yet). It's much more like a public mailing list. I can block or mute you - which stops me from seeing your abuse - but doesn't stop anyone else from seeing it.
Should ActivityPub have something similar? Yeah, I reckon so. I'd like to be able to say "Anyone I know want to go to the pub tonight" and only have mutuals reply. I want to prune away spam or repetitive replies. It would be helpful to have a conversation in public that other people can't interrupt.
The UI would be complex. And the social model needs a bit of work. And there are some technical challenges around syndicating which replies should be included.
But, ultimately, social media should respond to the needs of its users.
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!
Well hello #mastodon. I deactivated my #bluesky account b/c of reply guy sea lioning and antagonism toward Black women experts there. Very bummed about it b/c I invested a lot in growing my followers there, made some great connections, and believe it’s exponentially better than the site formally known as #Twitter. I might go back, I don’t know but the #moderation tools weren’t addressing my needs. Guess I’ll try again to learn this place 👋🏽
Introducing #Hollo. Hollo is an #ActivityPub-enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.
It's headless, meaning you can use existing #Mastodon client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. Two big differences with Mastodon is that you can use #Markdown in the content of your posts and you can quote another post.
Oh, and Hollo is built using #Bun and #Fedify.
Have you ever wondered about quoting posts on Mastodon? Is it possible? If not, why not? Will it ever be possible? How come some people seem to be able to quote posts already?
Hopefully your questions are answered in this article:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-cant-i-quote-other-posts-in-mastodon
We are very close to reaching 100k followers on @Mastodon.
Can you help us get there?
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?
I updated my Mastodon Tools browser plugin to include expanded quote post previews, based on the work I've done here: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/112643848931362289

On the topic of reply gating.
Since Mastodon doesn't support it out of the box, I had added these settings under 'User Safety' a while back.
There are far too many people who think they're entitled to be able to reply to anything posted on the Internet, and there's far too much harassment that hides in the folds of federation.
Hopefully these types of User Safety settings will be adopted upstream sooner than later, allowing communities to grow.
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.

Today, @Curia is back on the fediverse with their new Mastodon instance.
This is part of a broader @fediversity effort funded by @EUCommission and @EC_NGI initiative for an open and decentralised internet, bringing easy-to-use, hosted cloud services with service portability and personal freedom to everyone.
It takes a village to build a community

ICYMI: this is my #Mastodon "origin story" – the reason why I'm going all in on the #Fediverse this year, starting with this platform: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-is-federated/

The post includes mentions of some of my favorite accounts including @bookgaga @molly0xfff @triketora @film_girl @fj (if you have advice about how to get more people on Mastodon, I'm all ears)
Second/repeat random toot from a weird rando account. Report or just block? #mastodon #muting #blocking #fediverse
TIL when you upload a video file to Mastodon, it generates a preview thumbnail. The thumbnail isn't passed through to other servers in the ActivityPub payload (similar to preview cards).
Each receiving platform handles this situation differently. Some regenerate a thumbnail (processing again). Some ignore it and don't show one. Others create blank thumbnails to appease the Mastodon API.
A blurhash is passed, tho, and could be used as a placeholder.
#Mastodon sends Create(Question) for the poll, even though the Question itself is an Activity. Does it see Question as a regular Object rather than an Activity?
Bluesky e Mastodon sono ora connessi grazie a Bridgy Fed
https://www.punto-informatico.it/bluesky-mastodon-connessi-grazie-bridgy-fed/
Per chi lo desidera è ora possibile superare le barriere tra #Mastodon e #Bluesky grazie a #BridgyFed attivabile dal proprio account per essere seguiti e poter seguire gli account su entrambe le piattaforme.
Nonostante il loro successo, le reti social decentralizzate si trovano ad affrontare una sfida cruciale per guadagnare terreno rispetto a rivali come X, per questo si stanno creando ponti per connetterle.
Hello #mastodon #developers! Suppose I have an app that should be able to post some sort of public service announcement from individual users' phones to a common account (something like "charge point 17 on the south parking lot is out of service").
Can anyone think of a way to secure this scenario so that it's not possible to just pull the credentials or certificate from the app and use it for spam? Because someone will definitely do that otherwise 😑
The great #MastodonMigration after the #TwitterTakeover was accompanied by many helpful tools to find followers worth following.
With #Threads federating (partially) and #Bluesky bridged, I think we need new ones now. Are there any?
"Moving between servers" has been a #UX issue for years now. Is anyone looking at fixing this? I'm certainly happy to help with any UX design. I expect there are deep API issues that make this hard so I have no illusions this is "a simple fix" but it does feel like a core problem that should be solved.

Tried updating my little single user mastodon droplet tonight to the latest version and had my first failure.
Had a backup so all is good. Now to figure out what went sideways…. 🤔
I login to a LOT of different Mastodon apps. Because of that, I had over 600 "authorized applications" on my account! 🤯
In certain apps, the SSO process creates a new "authorized app" every time you login instead of re-using the same one.
Anyway, I built a web browser dev tool script that iterates through them all and revokes access. I'm not sure if I should release it but it sure was useful for me.
Sounds like this issue will be going away in a future release! 🎉
Time to update my #introduction a bit!

”But Mastodon also has [...] a lot on its plate including integration with Threads“
It's lines like this that makes me completely unable to take those calling for a hard fork of Mastodon seriously.
All Mastodon do for Threads is the same they for any fediverse developer having issues federating with them. (And there's certainly limits to that)
Along with perhaps writing more FEPs to standardize behaviour, which benefits *everyone*
Hey, we're Cake Wallet 👋🍰 We're an open source & noncustodial BTC, ETH, XMR, LTC Wallet! Happy to be on the fedi with our new #mastodon account
We also make monero.com & Cake Pay. Follow us to stay up to date with everything we're working on!
After 5 years, I'll try #Mastodon again. Until today I was happy with #Misskey on my instance, but I developed some grudge against Misskey, and keeping up the instance is a lot of burden (especially for free as I do).
After I closed reg I though I may leave the instance there for the record and start a new life on a friendly Mastodon instance.
I did not leave that account behind, only tasting mastodon and the restrictions of not having full control over the server and change things to my liking, for example add Celeste emotes, increase note length (well it's ~1k here so that shouldn't be an issue). On the other hand I don't have to deal with reports, custom requests from users 
Anyway, I'm here and my intention is to stay here.

Hallo #Mastodon! 👋 Wir bei Flipboard Deutschland freuen uns riesig Teil der Fediverse-Community zu werden. Die Welt der sozialen Netzwerke verändert sich rasant und wir sind gespannt darauf gemeinsam mit euch zu lernen.

TIL you can pin *multiple* posts to your profile
Made a little propaganda YouTube video about why I love #Mastodon and my advice for making the most of it.
The target audience is people scared or confused by the whole thing. Hope it helps convert some people currently missing out 🙏🏻✊🏻🫡

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.

Hi @IceCubesApp,
Is it possible (on #MacOS ?) to open mastodon links directly in IceCubes? What would that take?
Currently, if I click on https://mastodon.online/@IceCubesApp on the Mac, it opens the browser on mastodon.online. I would like to open IceCubes and view that account from my instance, so that I can directly interact with the account. Would be a #GameChanger
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.

Amigos do #Mastodon gostaria de convidá-los a participar do #Lemmy a resposta do #Fediverso ao #Reddit
O Reddit tem se tornado uma rede cada vez mais toxica e recentemente anunciou que se tornará uma empresa de capital aberto. Além disso o CEO S. Huffman declarou repetidas vezes que admira o trabalho que E. Musk vem fazendo no #Twitter
Eu administro o http://lemmy.eco.br e os convido a fortalecer e viabilizar essa alternativa, principalmente para os falantes de Português.
Hello #Mastodon! We are Vidzy - The federated alternative to TikTok.
Perché pagare #ElonMusk 1 dollaro l'anno per usare il suo servizio scadente quando si può supportare un host #Mastodon con pochi centesimi al mese e sostenere una comunità che risponde davvero alle tue esigenze?
https://liberapay.com/mastodonitalia
grazie a #liberapay ad esempio si è liberi di donare da 1 cent alla settimana, 50cent all'anno, la metà di quanto chiede #Musk, ma per avere un #social completo e indipendente, dove non vieni trattato come una merce di scambio da cui spremere soldi.
Just #migrating my #mastodon account from the wonderful #coops instance where I was @jdaviescoates to the @uniteddiversity instance I #selfhost, just because I can 🙂 (thanks to the power of @cloudron which makes #selfhosting easy)

You are driving a German 🇩🇪 car to an Italian 🇮🇹 coffeeshop to drink Brazilian 🇧🇷 Coffee and then going home buying Chinese 🇨🇳 takeaway to sit on a Swedish 🇸🇪 sofa in front of a Korean 🇰🇷 TV to watch US 🇺🇸 shows and all the while complaining that your neighbor is an Immigrant.
Pull yourself together.
Using #Mastodon
and the #Fediverse is an act of rebellion in itself.
By being here,
you are contributing to grow an alternative system that is led by the people and for the people, not for profits.
By being here,
you are encouraging a solution to a deteriorating social climate that thrives on outrage and monetization of hate.
By being here,
you are participating to the development of a new system that can slowly build a better world.
Thank you for being here 💚
ShalienSo, 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!
ShalienAlors, 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 !
In September 2020 I started what became a long #Twitter thread on #MultilingualResearch.

Starting today, I'm stopping it on Twitter and continuing it on #Mastodon.
Here's a rollup of the complete Twitter thread.

I just found about Fedifinder, a tool to look for contacts on the Fediverse that you followed on former Twitter: https://fedifinder.glitch.me
This can help migrating to Mastodon if you have many followings.
¿Por qué #Mastodon?
5 motivos:
1️⃣
Porque necesitamos redes sociales menos tóxicas, sin odiadores " #haters " ni discursos de odio. Todo eso nos contamina lentamente, casi sin darnos cuenta.
2️⃣
Porque merecemos redes sociales en donde una empresa o monopolio no nos imponga mediante inaccesibles algoritmos qué ver, cuándo verlo y cómo verlo. Sino que seamos nosotres quienes tengamos el control sobre los contenidos que leemos y vemos. Que nuestra elección sea real, no impuesta.

This is a reproduction of one of my earliest #FossilFriday posts on this platform (foolishly, I let them all auto-delete). It's the Missouri Leviathan. Aka the American Mastodon.
Now housed in the central hall of #NHMLondon, this fossil was unearthed as part of a 'graveyard' of #Mastodon fossils by Albert Koch in 1840.
It's fair to say that Koch, being a showman interested in making money, took some liberties with his reconstruction of the fossilised animals he had found...

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.

Hallo und willkommen an alle #neuhier im #Fediverse
Ich versuche mich jetzt hier mal in einem kleine Erklärtext für alle die es interessiert.
Da der Text auch für meine 7000 Zeichen zu lang ist, bitte hier weiter lesen: https://pad.tchncs.de/pad/#/2/pad/view/wrEim6cQTg7E3Yp6IOzdnkhQn3uZzOW+aqosxu+Eef4/

I'm writing this #introduction because it seems that, according to many here on #Mastodon, this is the way to go, especially when you're a new user like me. 😀 So, forgive me if I'm doing something wrong or if I missed something. I'm learning to use this platform as I go and I assure you, it wouldn't have been intentional.
So, where do I stand in this big, wide world of ours and what do I stand for, exactly? Well, I'm rather passionate when it comes to injustice. Particularly, when it comes to corporate greed, government #corruption and criminality in general. For instance, the war in Ukraine makes my blood boil, especially when I see people justifying it. In my eyes, there simply is no justification for war. #Putin's aggression on a peaceful nation is both barbaric and a danger to the entire world.
As a 'Jack of all trades, master of none', kind-a guy, I love creating things that either satisfy a need or provide a solution to a problem. I love building things, making things, and restoring old things back to new again.
I'm also spiritual person (I'm not religious in any way). I appreciate the kindness of others and often give back more than I receive. I love nature and despise anyone who is careless or wants to destroy it, especially for profit or 'recreational fun'. I also love #animals and can't understand why anyone would want to hurt them.
Well, that's pretty much me. I could go on, and on but I think you get the gist by now. Thank you for reading.

#Links to #Story Samples Written by R.S.
I've written very short fiction stories in my universe for #Mastodon under various hashtags. They're first citizen samples of my 1st person writing, my casual—made to be read aloud—writing style, and include my still evolving characters. None tally much more than 750 words, with a hard character limit set by my instance. I think they're an easy read. Some are based on my earlier works, some on works not yet written. Most of what was written for Mastodon was written quickly, edited immediately, then posted. It could be better, but I've resisted more than revising typos or inappropriate words. Everything is experimental; nothing should be considered canon.

2017: @mheiber and I ask for resources to setup a #Mastodon instance on #Thoughtworks infrastructure
2018: @effye , @mheiber and I launch https://toot.thoughtworks.com . Every employee can create an account and start posting. More than 800 people will do that over the next 5 years.
2023: The official corporate account of @thoughtworks is created and starts posting on the #Fediverse.

3 Tips
1) Follow, Follow, Follow. Remember, you curate your own timeline, not an algorithm.
2) Boost, boost, boost. This is the best way to get content out there for others to see. (Like a RT)
3) Post & Engage. Make sure you post your own content & reply to others
#Mastodon
H/T to @ceresbzns for MEME idea
The short version is that I don't want to line the pockets of huge corporations.
Some concrete examples:
- #Jitsi not Zoom/Skype
- @matrix not Slack/Discord
- @nextcloud not GDrive/OneDrive
- #Ethereum not Visa/MasterCard
- A #GitLab instance not GitHub
- #Linux not Microsoft
- @OpenStreetMapUS not Google Maps
- and of course #Mastodon not Twitter
There are many other smaller open source projects that I love, but these are staples in my tech diet. 😋
I'm Siv. I live, work, create, and activate in #Lansing, #Michigan, #USA.

By way of #introduction , I’m Mick, and I am old enough to remember when the Internet was made up of small communities built and supported by their members - before the phrases “attention economy” and “surveillance advertising” were a thing.
I have been missing the fun, chaos and collaborative spirit of that early ‘Net, and I think #Mastodon is a way to reclaim the space that was taken from us.
Volunteer member of #CoSocialTechOps hoping to be at least a little bit useful around here.
(re-upping my #introduction because the old one was deleted...)
i'm daniel, I've been involved with activism for most of my life, and I have a life-long interest in the intersection of technology and class/privilege.
living in County Cork, #Ireland, near the home of #Midleton Very Rare and Ballycotton.
parent to four kids, eldest of whom is now at University in U.C.C. (which is astonishing as I'm still only 25...)
i love #reading, and try to post about books I love, which are usually Science Fiction and Fantasy. #amreading
i autodelete all my posts after 60 days.
life as a finishing PhD has been hectic lately, so I forgot to share the op-ed I wrote in Internet Policy Review on the risks of overburdening the user in decentralized technologies like #Mastodon and #Solid with a nice quote by @pluralistic
https://policyreview.info/articles/news/solid-mastodon-risk-of-overburdening-the-user/1688
⚠️ PSA about Bookmarks 📖
Didn’t realize that if I Bookmark a post from another #Mastodon server, it’ll be removed from my server after the retention period I’ve defined for my server.
So if I purge everything cached by my server after 7 days, that *also* purges any post I bookmarked more than 7 days ago. (Second screenshot shows that only something I bookmarked 6 days ago is left, and I’ve certainly bookmarked other things!)

It was a while since I've started using #mastodon but it's time for a proper #introduction!
Hi 👋 I'm Konrad and I'm an iOS and mobile game developer from Poland. You might know me the best from Commander Pixman for iOS, or DevCleaner, a macOS tool that clean-up after #Xcode 😉
I'm also interested in retro computers and many other things. I might occasionally "toot" in Polish as well 😉
Since this is what's done on #mastodon - I am a middle age recovering fandom nerd, still active #security and #tech nerd, and someone who has amateur hour opinions on lots of things. My ideal vacation is reading terrible sci-fi in a nice hotel room.
Strongly in favor of #socialjustice #lgbt #prochoice #acab and I seem to be getting more radical as I get older.
I'll probably post about: #travel #smut #monsters #linux #whiskey #film #scifi #gaming #newwave
(Originally posted on mastodon.lol)
There are times when I actually think we can do some good here on #Mastodon.
There's so much despair and disconnection in the world.
We need each other, we need to be here for each other.
👋 Hey again #Mastodon.
Giving this a spin again, whatever the future of general purpose social media may be.
I'm into #python, #software, #opensource, #foss, #wikipedia, #freeculture, #فارسی, #fintech, and #photography. Oh, and lately, #fatherhood.
More about me on my site: https://sedimental.org/about.html
The move to #Mastodon and open platforms reminds me of the internet 15 years ago. Before big corporations took over and favoured company lock-in over interoperability.
And I love it! 🥰
#introduction 👋 Greetings!
Lubuntu is an official #Ubuntu #linux flavor.
We utilize the @LXQt desktop environment.
We have an amazing community on our https://discourse.lubuntu.me forum.
We have a fantastic reference in our https://manual.lubuntu.me/
It is great to meet you all here on #mastodon
First post here. As an #intro to our presence here on #mastodon. We have had a mountain guide and tour agency business here in the #SierraNevada, #Spain since 2002. We will toot about the things we love ie the #mountains, our trips, #expeditions, #photography, mountain #weather and conditions. Hopefully, "Inspiring the Adventure" in you too!

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!
Photograph of #Mastodon founder #JoanMastodon from the early 1960s. Mastodon is seen manually transcribing telegraphed toots into the first ever instance (in background). Mastodon gained late fame when she was banned from Twitter while being mistaken with a guy called #JohnMastodon who actually never existed.
I occasionally boost posts with images that lack alt text, and posts with content that should be behind a CW. And I occasionally *don’t* boost for those reasons.
In my own posts, I try to be mindful of those. When I’m not, gently ding me about it.
#Mastodon, or life without an #algorithm, demonstrates that most people are decent most of the time. This makes all the difference in the world.
🆕 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!

So this morning sitting here exploring mastodon. I would never pay anything to the blue bird (pre or post Senor Elon) site. I have decided to increase my membership level to become a sponsor level.

Y'a-t-il des #admins d'instances #Mastodon pour nous faire des retours sur ce que ça bouffe comme ressources (pour combien d'utilisateur·rices) ? En CPU, RAM, réseau, et espace disque ?
Je suis curieux de voir l'évolution de ces données pour une instance comme Piaille qui rencontre un grand succès (ping @vincib ).
Ou pour mamot qui est stable depuis un moment j'imagine (ping @admin ).
Ou eldritch cafe ?
(J'hésite de plus en plus à lancer une instance, j'ai besoin d'une idée du dimensionnement)
As #mastodon have no algorithm for guessing for whom to deliver your posts, you have to keep in mind it when you write.
Meaning, use wisely these ingredients¹: target audience² (post visibility) and language, hashtags and content warnings.

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.

Watching instance owners needing to react to the sudden influx of users has me reminiscing about Switter early days.
In March 2018, we (Assembly Four) deployed Mastodon to a VPS with 1.5GB of RAM and launched https://switter.at/ in response to FOSTA/SESTA that was pushing sex workers off platforms.
Word spread like wildfire, and I had to double resources 2 hours after the announcement. And had to double it 2 hours after that. We had to scale out in the first week.

So i guess an #introduction is the thing to do. I'm a software developer with heavy focus on Java, i work at https://atexxi.ch which i co-founded, using https://strolch.li on a #RaspberryPi to communicate with our servers to try and lessen nurses burden on drug logistics.
I've been using Linux as my daily driver for over a decade, do some gaming, and love setting up infrastructure like #docker #Mastodon #Proxmox #gitea etc.
А вот и долгожданное видео для новичков про Mastodon и немного Fediverse!

Получилось длиннее, чем я рассчитывал изначально, но зато как мне кажется, я отметил на некоторые вопросы, на которые забывают ответить другие видео.
Ставьте лайки 👍, шарьте 🔁, показывайте друзьям и приводите их в Федивёрс 🌐.

Will #ScienceTwitter🐦 -> #ScienceMastodon🐘 work?
The response to this was massive & my #Mastodon has gone from a quiet void to a science party in just 3 days!
Many are worried about servers, network effects & losing followers

#Mastodon statt #Twitter – Was ist das, wie nutzt man es und geht das auch für #Wordpress?

We're seeing a lot of new faces from the #TwitterMigration, we realize we never created an official #introduction for ourselves.
We are a video game, anime, and pop culture news, views, and reviews blog. 🎮 We currently have five writers on staff. Two of us Twitch livestream on the weekends. We are all located in North America (US & Canada).
We've been on #Mastodon since 2019 and are enjoying our time here. Though we do cross-post to the birdsite, we very much have a presence here.
Hallo liebe Büchermenschen!
Was kennt ihr für empfehlenswerte Accounts auf #mastodon?
Whenever Twitter is #down, people will recommend Mastodon as a better alternative since it's a federated system which can't go offline as a whole.
While #federation is great in terms of independence and resistance to censorship, I don't think #TwitterDown is the best argument to attract new #Mastodon users, since – for the individual user – it wouldn't make any difference whether #Twitter or the respective Mastodon home server is #offline.
So da mir das mit dem Energieverbrauch von #Mastodon nicht so gefällt, werde ich dann doch mehr wieder bei #Twitter sein. Da die Twitterbridge bei mir aktiv ist, werden beide Accounts ja synchron gehalten. Damit man besser unterscheiden kann was ich von wo gesendet habe, gilt in Zukunft das Tröts mit (M) am Ende auf Mastodon verfasst wurden und die mit (T) eben bei Twitter.

Whatsapp? Meglio #Signal o #Element.
Instagram o Twitter? Assolutamente meglio #Pixelfed e #Mastodon.

Time for a new #introductions toot.
Hello again, #mastodon & #fediverse! 🤓
C'est moi! The evelynyap* that was on mastodon.cloud, who then moved to megadon.net, and then moved to mastodon.sandwich.net.
I now have my very own #instance masto.evelynyap.com. 😊🙏
Thanks to the wonders of #MastoHost @mastohost, non techies like me can have an instance... sans the headache and nose bleed. ☝️😁 #NotATechie #NewHome
В общем, в связи с тем, что тут произошёл наплыв людей из других соцсетей и на некоторых нодах были проблемы с ресурсами, я сделал вот такую штуку:
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:
https://github.com/fediland/fediland.github.io
Там же на гитхабе есть инструкции для тех, кто хотят предложить свой сервер для добавления в список или другого контрибьюта.
Дополнительно - в дочерних постах.
#Lesbarkeit der #Tröts von @sozialwelten
Die ganzen #Hashtags dienen mir zur #Auffindbarkeit und zur #begrifflichen #Akkumulation.
Für bessere Lesbarkeit empfehle ich das #Theme Mastodon (Dunkel), weil dabei die #Farbe von #Text und #Hashtag gleich bleibt.
Weitere Informationen gibt es in der #Beschreibung der #Instanz #IfWO:

Just found this excellent #Mastodon guide by @kev while looking for information to send to a friend. I thought I'll post it here in case it's of use to someone else. https://kevq.uk/how-does-mastodon-work/
I am new at this #mastodon instance: I'm an architect and PhD on social sciences who studies the commodifications between #cities, #technology and #society in the context of the Urban Studies and I am now pursuing a more data-scientist approach. I've been using #R for some years and I am now starting with #python
I'm looking for people with similar research interests or who can help me improving my skills.
Thanks @cxli for kindly introducing me to this nice ritual.
