Once again, a quick post... I wanted to add comments to my blog. So I did and created a little guide on it. https://godfrey.online/posts/adding_comments_to_hugo_using_mastodon/

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

If you want to see the rules on any Mastodon server:

1. Go to its website (you don't need to log in or be a member)
2. If you're on a phone click ☰ and then "About" at bottom of menu, on a computer click the "About" link next to server's name in bottom left corner
3. Scroll down to the section marked "Server Rules" and click on it to open it

This can be really useful if you're looking for a server to join or move to, as you can see how seriously the admin takes moderation.

Why on earth was the #ActivityPub protocol even let out the door without a well-specified and mandatory graceful, non-destructive key rotation scheme?

Yes I know the privacy issues. Those are not valid reasons to not have such a mechanism; it's a valid reason to not enable or use one.

What we're stuck with now is a ton of instances with absurdly long, legacy-algorithm keys (RSA-4096) with no way to replace them with shorter/better keys without effectively losing everything ever posted on the instance.

The protocol is only 7 years old! EC crypto was well-established at the time, and should have been the default.

And what happens once everyone has to replace the keys, because RSA is broken by quantum computers (I know, probably 100 years to go)? The #Fediverse will be a wasteland, with no instances trusting anything from any other instance, so all #Federation breaks down.

Sorry if I got some details wrong about what the protocol says. If I get flamed to death for being wrong, then I'll consider that a Good Thing(TM). I've been trying to find a way to rotate/replace keys for a while and all my searching turns up is either 1) confirmation that most people don't know or care about cryptography, or 2) https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/key-rotation-notification/562 - which really isn't helpful.

If it is possible to gracefully rotate the key(s) of an instance/user, there really has to exist some documentation that explains clearly how to implement this in a server and how to exercise it as a server operator.

GoToSocial users: How do you discover content?

Coming from Mastodon where I rely heavily on relays to populate my timeline - my instance federates with ~10k instances and hashtag following works great there.

Now exploring GoToSocial and wondering: What’s your strategy for content discovery? Especially when following hashtags?

🤔 Questions:

Do you use relays with GTS? Any recommendations?
How do you handle the smaller federation scope?
Any tricks for finding interesting content beyond your local timeline?
Tools or workflows that work well for hashtag discovery?

Would love to hear how the GTS community tackles this!

先日のえるさんに教えてもらって知ったのだけど、管理者からのお知らせに対して絵文字リアクションができるのは（Fedibird独自ではなく）Mastodon本体にある機能だったのね。つまりMastodon本体にも部分的に絵文字リアクション機能が実装されていることになる。

Eugenさんのこのスレッドでは今のところは全ての投稿にリアクション機能を付けるつもりはなく、実験的にこの部分にだけ実装したと言っているね。

From FediDB [1], I see that out of the total accounts, only 12-13 per cent are usually active accounts.

I think the main reason behind this is that local events and issues are not sufficiently discussed here. It is now a chicken-and-egg story.

The solution should not be to get inspired by X, Instagram, Facebook, etc., and follow their approaches.

A cool #Mastodon 4.4 feature that I have seen zero fanfare about is the new like/boost count federation. Another @jonny win if I remember right.

Maybe most people are on large enough servers that they haven't noticed the difference, but on my single-user server it's neat to see.

Today the basic ability of Mastodon 4.5 alpha to author quoted posts was released.

For now, it's hidden behind a feature flag and limited to the API. There are no changes to the web interface yet to allow quoting toots.

It's just the first step on the road to getting the new feature ready.

@jpmens I yes! And I think that's the big dichotomy at the core of the discussion when people talk about the pros and cons of the way Mastodon handles migrations.
We old web farts want cool urls that don't change but for many people the temporary nature of posts here (see also: the option to automatically delete posts after x days) is a feature and not a bug.

And from what I see in the world of ActivityPub or the Fediverse in general it seems to be a pretty even split.

The new #Mastodon #UX has a very small popup dialog #UI for editing #AltText. It is so small that it is hard to parse the image in order to come up with a descriptive text. To the extent where I feel I have a visual impairment peering intently at the minute text pixels in my diagram just now.

Heute hat die Zahl der 👩‍🎓 Follower 👨‍🎓 auf den #Mastodon-Accounts der #Hochschulen
https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/
die 40.000er Marke geknackt. Das entspricht einer Verdoppelung 2️⃣ 🐘 im Laufe des letzten Jahres.

#Reichweite und Followerzahlen sind nicht alles. Bei der #WissKomm geht es vor allem um Inhalte.
Doch die Zunahme zeigt, dass auf dem #ActivityPub-Protokoll basierende Dienste die #Hochschulkommunikation tragen können. Das ist ein schöner Erfolg für alle, die sich dafür eingesetzt haben. 🎇 Super!

Es spricht auch nichts dagegen, die Zahl noch einmal zu verdoppeln ❎ 2️⃣. Und dann nochmal ❎ 2️⃣. Das Potential ist da. Die Hochschulen müssen nur klar kommunizieren, dass die #UnisInsFediverse gehören.

■ /home/mastodonのパーミッションが変わり、Mastodonのフロントリソースが読み込めない

Ubuntu 21.04からだそうですが、ホームディレクトリのデフォルトのパーミッションが755から750になっています。

これにより、nginxが/home/mastodon以下を読めず、cssやjsなどが404になります。

sudo chmod 755 /home/mastodon

しちゃっていいんじゃないかな。

■ OpenSSL 3.0環境なのでruby 3.1より前のビルドに失敗する

現行のMastodonはruby 3.1まで大丈夫（とかいてある）ので、3.1.2に変えちゃいます。

cd ~/live
rbenv install 3.1.2

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!

Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!

The Services

Mastodon

Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!

PeerTube

The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!

WriteFreely

We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.

The Rules

We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.

We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.

In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.

Legal Status

All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.

Starting to think Bluesky’s ATProtocol got a few things right that Mastodon and ActivityPub might have missed. Have a look at the “Why not use ActivityPub?” section in the ATProto FAQs. I think they make some compelling points. Is ATProto actually the better protocol for its intended purpose? #fediverse #atproto #bluesky #activitypub #mastodon https://atproto.com/guides/faq#why-not-use-activity-pub

Has anyone logged this issue in Mastodon yet? Using the main website, in Firefox at least, I can't add alt text to an image with a screen reader.

On the main website, the alt area is actually a giant, accessible, drag and drop element that I can't remember right now, but a mouse user can just click the button, but since I am a keyboard user, it keeps wanting to lift, drag, and drop, when I hit the space bar or the enter key to activate the alt text button instead of actually pressing the alt text button.

If I wanna add alt text to an image, I need to use a third party client. This isn't accessible.

Has anyone filed this on Github? I'd rather comment on someone else's ticket than make one tonight for this issue.

Anybody knows how a #Mastodon client developer can test the new `quote` feature? From what I understand, Mastodon 4.4 will ship with the ability to read quotes (and will attach them to statuses in JSON API responses, but only at Mastodon 4.5 will quote-posting be available. So I have no idea how to test quote-showing support.

Odd. Noticed that when viewing @mosseri from Mastodon his last post was on April 23, despite posting on Threads many times since and within the last 24 hours.

And if I follow him from here, his account doesn't show under my following list, despite indicating that I'm following on his profile.

Glitch? Intentional? How many other federated @threads accounts are like this? (Other threads.net accounts that I'm following seem okay.)

#Translation

Why are there still so many posts from both individual posters and entire instances where translation is neither offered nor allowed (http 403 or 503)

Certainly if #Mastodon wants to compete as #SocialMedia on a #GlobalStage translations into the reader's stated Interface Language should be mandatory, unless explicitly prohibited on an individual poster-by-poster basis

What gives?

As it is now, I #Mute and #Block posters who will not let me translate their posts into a language I can read

Why do I want to give up my very finite screen space to posts I'll never be able to read?

I don't, and I won't

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.

A question about the things, as you are already open sourcing it (which is great):

As you always say it's not for sale anyway, it's maybe a nice idea. Also the other handy services like @fedidb ,loop and so on..
That would give the people even more trust into the Fediverse 🥰

Compared to all other social media platforms, Mastodon has very few 1 mintues videos (like you see those on Insta, TikTok, X etc) in my feed or in the trending tab. It has more text based content, followed by images. Very interesting! I guess humans have always liked to read and write. There is no automated alog here just humans talking and boosting what is important to them. This is how social media should be instead of constant push of clickbait videos.

Pixelfed (and Mastodon) are increasingly targeted by spammers.

Our current AutoSpam detection using Naive Bayes isn't enough*, so we are building a better detection and mitigation system.

Not only will it leverage (optional) established 3rd party services like SpamHaus, but also threat intel from other trusted "reporter" instances like Pixelfed.social.

It's called https://FediThreat.net, and will be available soon!

I'm beginning to understand why there are so few blogging platforms that work with #activitypub. I thought I'd make my own as a weekend project and while it shows up fine in https://browser.pub/, getting #mastodon to correctly display posts and followers is driving me absolutely crazy.

Why does Mastodon need its own weird special stuff? Why can't it just load the followers and outbox collections like the standard expects? WHY?

Why does Mastodon need its own weird special stuff? Why can't it just load the followers and outbox collections like the standard expects? WHY?

Anyone got an idea what can cause a #mastodon instance not showing privacy policy properly? Just showing when updated last but the text is entirely missing.

Really glad I used bikesare.cool in the presentation I did about #Mastodon only for the instance to go offline about a week later. (/sarcasm) 😐

And I spotted a mistake on my slides; the first time deadinsi.de is mentioned, I get the domain correct, then later in the presentation its listed as dead.inside 😬

Anyway, give the video a watch on #YouTube via this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbdsRrjcyE0

Or if #PeerTube is more your thing, you can use this link: https://vid.northbound.online/w/xyRT9N3uTqAmGEmXpsNz6V?subtitle=en

Frage zu #Mastodon bzw. allgemein #Fediverse: Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, einem #Profil oder #Hashtag zu folgen und dabei nach der #Sprache zu filtern?

Durch einen Zufall habe ich gerade dieses #Bluesky (BS) Konto gefunden. Da ich der Brücke zu BS nicht folge, frage ich mich, wie es sein kann, dass dieses Konto und deren Beiträge in meiner Timeline angezeigt wird und ich mit diesem Konto interagieren kann? [@neocortex.bsky.social]
Da #Mastodon keine Anstalten macht die Quelle optisch hervorzuheben, ist schnell ein Like gesetzt. Und dann? Was für Daten gehen an BS? Bin ich plötzlich auf der Brücke registriert? #Verunsicherung #DS

Mastodon on Toot TUI

There is nothing like a TUI (text user interface) to really help me focus. So when I stumbled on Toot TUI, I had to give it a try. Now, it is probably one of my favorite terminal applications.

Hi Jools!
Zunächst habe ich es als Fediverse-Beginner auch mit #Friendica versucht, weil ich gelesen hatte, dass es am ehesten mit FB vergleichbar wäre. Um User dort wegzulocken, schien mir das wichtig.
Irgendwann habe ich bemerkt, dass die Zuordnung der Felder Titel und Text beim Übergang vom und zum viel größeren Mastodon-Fediversum schlecht gelöst ist. Deshalb habe ich dann Abstand genommen.
Außerdem ist die Installation von #Mastodon mit #Yunohost supereinfach.

Kurzer Nachtrag, ich möchte ja auch Lösungen liefern:

Sollte jemand interesse an einer skalierbaren, sicheren und preiswerten Infrastruktur inkl. Chat, Video, Cloud (inkl Collabora), Wiki, Mastodon, sowie Groupware (open XChange) und IDM an alle Dienste interessiert sein, gerne melden. Wir haben dieses System letztes Jahr mit dem Relaunch des NABU-Netz komplett auf open-source Basis für mehrere tausend Personen bereits umgesetzt.

Hello, #FediFolx! I'm here to boost mutual aid requests on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse

There are so many mutual aid requests on the Fedi, but sadly not many people notice, care, or contribute. I aim to change that. I'm not a billionaire (yet?), so this is my way of offering support to those who need it.

Use the tags #MutualAidRequest, #MutualAid, or #TransCrowdFund , or feel free to DM or mention @FediAid

I am a volunteer, I don't have a Kofi/Patreon/Liberapay because you should help out people I'm boosting instead.

I will boost as often as I can. This is NOT a bot account.

Peace ✌️

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

#FediHelp

EDIT: The new folder for the FediCard is here:

ALT text details

A simple design for a two-page business card. The front page shows the Fediverse logo, a QR code, and the text: "Join the Fediverse! The People's Social Media: No Ads No Algorithms No Surveillance" The back side has the text "joinfediverse.net"

@heybran define "algorithm". Technically, all software is an #algorithm. But if you mean "algorithmic feed" then, kind of. Algorithmic feeds are when the software chooses which posts are included in your main feed based on characteristics of that content and not just your following list. #Mastodon does this with hashtags. It doesn't choose those hashtags for you, which makes it a very customizable "algorithm". There's also the Explore tag, which has an "algorithm" that's chosen by your instance.

Just wanted to share a little update—I’ve been hanging out on warfn.app lately, thanks to a shoutout from @gabboman . It’s been awesome exploring a new corner of the fediverse, and I’d love to keep the conversation going with all of you.

If you’ve been following me here on Mastodon and enjoy what you see, I’d be thrilled if you could also follow @kirazune@app.wafrn.net . That’s where I’ll be posting fresh thoughts, random musings, and whatever else pops into my head.

Mastodon has a great translation tool that lets people read your posts in their favorite languages.

But the feature works only if you set the default language of posts (Preferences > Other > POSTING DEFAULTS > Posting language) and override it when posting in languages other than the default (click the language name button in the post editor).

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.
Check out https://fediforum.org/people
— FediForum (@fediforum) 2025-05-06T18:49:33.513Z

FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.

I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!

An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.

I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.

Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

AMEN! Thank you so much.
I’ve made Mastodon my social media home precisely because it does not continual try to spy on me or profit from my online time.
I don’t know why anyone would accept anything less than the purity & authenticity of experience mastodon delivers. #mastodon

Ps— Now can some one please create a search engine that offers a pure experience uncluttered with AI, Sponsored, or demands for personal info.
Or if one exists, please tell me how to get it.

@fossunleashed Next, I use this command `sudo dmesg | grep -i "btrfs"` to get #btrfs logs. Since, the logs are of 34 lines it is not possible to include them here.

So, here are the important ones (I think) ->

@fossunleashed I kind of found the problem but, I've no idea how to fix it. Since, I can neither record or create screenshot, here's the gist.

So, the main disk `/dev/nvme0n1` is divided into 3 partition ->
1. `/dev/nvme0n1p1` : EFI System uses FAT (32-bit version)
2. `/dev/nvme0n1p2` : Linux extended boot uses Ext4 (version 1.0)
3. `/dev/nvme0n1p3` : Linux filesystem uses Btrfs

The above was the result of running `sudo fdisk -l`.

Who here knows about, @cwebber@social.coop

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

Cool way to track the progress of #BridgyFed, bridging between #Bluesky to interoperate with #Mastodon and other ActivityPub powered networks. cc: @bsky.brid.gy Over 105,000 of us connecting these two open social web spaces.

洪民憙 (Hong Minhee)

@hongminhee@hollo.social

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

Aktionsb. neue soziale Medien

@neuSoM@bewegung.social

Die neu gewählte Präsidentin des @bundestag #JuliaKlöckner, hat kürzlich vorgeschlagen, dass der #Bundestag aktuelle Infos auch über #TikTok verbreitet.

In einem Brief an Frau #Klöckner hat das Aktionsbündnis neue #sozialeMedien nun darauf hingewiesen, dass große Plattformen wie TikTok und #X nachweislich dafür genutzt werden, anti-demokratische Inhalte und #Desinformation zu verbreiten.
Darum sind diese Plattformen kein geeignetes Umfeld zur politischen Meinungsbildung. Das gilt insbesondere, da der Bundestag erfreulicherweise bereits bei #Mastodon aktiv ist
👉 https://www.bundestag.de/services/soziale_medien/mastodon-945946

Statt wertvolle Ressourcen in den Aufbau eines Kanals auf TikTok zu investieren, sollte der Mastodon-Kanal 🐘 weiter ausgebaut und priorisiert werden, da er viel besser zu einem demokratischen #Rechtsstaat passt.

Wir haben der #Bundestagspräsidentin angeboten, gerne für ein Gespräch zur Verfügung zu stehen, wofür wir auch auf die Expertise der uns unterstützenden Digital-Organisationen zurückgreifen können.

Today I got new inspiration regarding #WebSocial (aka the #Fediverse), when I met an old acquaintance and his friend

The acquaintance tried to call me a #TechBro. With some salt, and sugar, I explained what a tech bro was, why I despised them and rolled out a simple explanation of what #Mastodon was.

His friend was surprised and said he didn't know that such a thing existed. My acquaintance then said he wanted to start his own server.

I then realized he's probably not the only one in my city.

こういうの、 #Mastodon みたいにドメインによる認証すれば済む話なんじゃないのかと思ったけど、紛らわしいドメインでのニセサイトとかをあらかじめ用意すれば偽装はできなくもないか…？

まあでもそれらしい一意のドメインを取得して、それらしいちゃんとしたサイトをそこに用意する、というほうが SNS にアカウント作るよりはハードルは高そうだし、やはり一定の効果はありそうだけどな。

まあ #X とかはそういう認証機能も自社でもつことで運営の権威化をしたりブルーチェックをアカウントにお金で売りつける、みたいなことをしたいのだろうからのようなやり方はしないだろうけど

I started exploring BlueSky recently because some people who I follow have moved there. I can see the appeal. It seems to have tools that are helpful for people who interact with lots of people (followers and people they follow). For instance, this algorthmic feed for keeping track of papers in a users follower network https://bsky.app/profile/nkgarg.bsky.social/post/3lk25s5kuek2z

This is good for academics who want to stay up on a rapidly developing field.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

"If #governments are concerned about the dominance of privately-owned online platforms, they have a responsibility to run and own their own.

A logical response would be for these entities to run their own instances of software like #Mastodon—or any #Fediverse-compatible, #ActivityPub-based service. This would allow them to own their content, domain, and user verification, ensuring greater control and independence."

なんか #PhanpySocial から通知いっぱい来るなと思ったら、ちょっと前のこの投稿にいっぱいリアクションをいただいていたありがとうございます！

タイムライン表示のアルゴリズムのない #Mastodon #Fediverse の Like って、送り手から受け手へのリアクションという性格がかなり強い気がしていて（※）素直に嬉しい

※ちょっと穿った言い方だけど、#X とかだと Like とかのアクティビティーがアルゴリズムを通じて不特定多数のタイムラインに露出する時期があったから（いまも？）送り手が不特定多数に対して「これにいいねしてる私」みたいな発信を兼ねてる部分もあった気がしてて…

あと完全時系列のタイムラインでも、こんな時間差でリアクションいただけるのは文字通り Boost バケツリレーして頂いてるからだとおもうのでありがたい（別に耳目を集めたくて投稿してるわけではないとしても）

あと、#X から距離を置いててもアカウント削除までする人は意外と少数派なのかなやっぱり（投稿した内容はたぶんアカウントを残して人は意外と気づかないことというのもリアクションいただいたきっかけとしてあるのかな？
自分はもうアカウント消しちゃったけど、そういえば投稿に書き忘れたこととして「パーマリンクページから前後のリプライがなにも見えない」というのもあって、連投された投稿の最初のアドレスだけが #Fediverse 経由で引用としてたまに流れてきてもその後の投稿を追えなかったりする（そしてそっ閉じしてる

Do you want to keep your Mastodon profile and posts hidden from search engines? If so, you need to do two things:

1. Set your profile to be hidden from search engines
2. Use non-public visibility settings ("Followers only" or "Mentions only") on any posts or replies you want to keep hidden from search engines

@BeAware @beaware.social

That's an impressive statistic!

I didn't know #Threads allows only one hashtag per post! 🤔

The #Fediverse is mainly #Mastodon :blobcatgiggle:
Threads is so very different from it.

It doesn't have an algorithm, so one can't expect "virality" that can happen on other Main stream social media.

However, there are a few kinds of posts that work really well here. For eg.:

Fuck Trump
Capitalism bad
Luigi is a hero
Privacy important
Zuckerberg Evil
Cats
Firefox/Linux is the best
Viva la Ukraine/Palestine

These posts with the right kind of hashtags almost always do well. :blobcat: Mastdon may have just become the Left version of Twitter, just like #BlusSky.

Threads is more commercial. Moreover, most Fedi instances block/restrict Fedi lol.

#ActivityPub #Mastodon #ATProt #BlueSky

Also, I wonder why you responded from your Mastodon account when I @ mentioned your Threads account. 😅

How has your experience differed b/w the two, in terms of interaction with the people?

Early bits of #decentralization of #Badges look how, I created one in one instance (verifiedby.maho.dev) for @lqdev and it got decentralized/federated to other instance (badges.vocalcat.com)

So, badges are coming to the #fediverse.

In a technical note, I am using notes (so it gets published to mastodon), but adding the badge as "attachment" which is in the #activitypub spec. Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.

Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: Gründer Eugen Rochko übergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich künftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die Führung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation über. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnütziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

Hey fedi, I need some help!

I am trying to connect an application I am making with the Fediverse. When I search for an actor I am successfully able to get to the profile (yay) but when I search for a post I cannot find it.

I am receiving the GET request and am sending the response with the content type ("application/activity+json") (for example):

{
"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"name":"New Note",
"type":"Note",
"id":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/posts/1",
"attributedTo":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/users/1",
"content":"Hello there!",
"to":[]
}

Why would Mastodon not display the post?
The on Mastodon’s side is returning 403 action not allowed.

Thank you

Non-profit status is not a bulwark against market-based hegemony or hierarchical coercion. To the contrary, non-profits also provide cover for authoritarian moves in capitalist societies. I am curious as to whose laws this “European” organization would be subject: #Germany, maybe, which cracks down on free speech against #genocide?

“#Mastodon has taken the strategic decision not to accept venture capital investments for growth, but rather restructure to a European non-profit organisation. This means that we’re reliant on your support to build a team to work full-time on new product features, maintain mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and represent Mastodon and the broader #Fediverse to #policy makers and to #media organisations. The elements of our mission related to an open #internet, #privacy, and #data ownership are more important than ever.”

I’m proud to be joining @Mastodon’s Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.

I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.

But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because we are strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞

Question of the day, I have #mastodon hosted on my halis.io domain, same for my #synapse instance, and it works without issues because one uses #activitypub and the other #matrix

But, if I setup a #manyfold instance on the same domain, as in without subdomain, it shouldn’t work, right ?

Would there be a way to converge both manyfold and mastodon under the same base domain ? Or do I have to use a subdomain for one ?

I’ve worked in tech for many years, and one of the events that has been a constant part of the calendar is SXSW. I remember signing up for Twitter back in 2007 just after I heard about it while chatting in Roo Reynolds’ office at IBM, from a visitor who had been at SXSW where it first took off (referenced in a post back over here).

That was nearly 20 years ago now – and in all of that time, I never had the opportunity to go to SXSW for the tech part¹ of the festival…

This year, our friends at Flipboard created a side event they called Fediverse House, as a eye-catching label for a series of talks and sessions around the open social web

[yes, it was broader than the Fediverse; some other platforms and topics were represented, too. It was great to be able to talk about the Fediverse]

I was excited to be able to join the event², and even more so, I was honoured to be asked to join a panel moderated by the wonderful Mia Quagliarello all about building communities on the new social web. I briefly mentioned this trip on the most recent Mastodon blog post update for our updates during March, but I’m now able to include more about the content here.

Here’s the video of our panel discussion, available on Flipboard’s PeerTube – or, on YouTube for those of you that are not yet Fediverse-enabled, or who want to watch on your TV or something 🙂 I hope I did an OK job, representing the good people of the different communities on the Fediverse. I know that my own experience and perspective is not a universal one and I do my best to reflect that when I talk about our spaces.

As well as this panel, the event included some fantastic talks from folks such as Molly White and Cory Doctorow (clips are on PeerTube); it gave me an opportunity to learn more about the ATProto ecosystem from chatting with the nice folks from Bluesky; I was able to meet writers from one of the best publications on the web today, 404 Media; and, it also provided a chance to spend time IRL with friends from the Fediverse – including the excellent Jeff Sikes, and also people I greatly respect and appreciate from WeDistribute, Sean and Damon.

Anyway… I still haven’t actually been to SXSW 😄

This year, I did something better than that. Thank you to the Flipboard team for all your work in putting Fediverse House together!

I was in Austin one year during the music festival, and managed to get to a couple of sessions, but I wasn’t in town specifically for the event, that was a surprise bonus. ↩︎

I'm not sure what to do with the domain bsky.brid.gy on #Mastodon. The #Bluesky bridge has more problems than benefits, but if I ban it, I would potentially miss out on interesting posts.

But one always needs to be alert to recognize that any reply is just for the Mastodon side of the discussion. The original poster doesn't see it.

Fellow single user instance customers of @mastohost - how much media storage space are you using? I only follow about 325 accounts and I'm already using more than 11GB of my 20GB storage. I can upgrade if needed but it just seems to be going up and up (there is an automatic purge in place I think after 7 days).

Things we can learn from the recent fosstodon moderation happenings.

The takeaway of the whole #fosstodon incident shouldn't be,

"THIS IS WHY MODERATION IS BAD BECAUSE MODS ARE BASICALLY SMALLER VERSIONS OF CENSORSHIP PEOPLE!"

Nor should it be takes like, paraphrasing here, but,

"I had to examine my stance as a moderator, and really examine the kind of community I want to foster, so as a result of this examination, I've concluded that the Fediverse is absolutely no different from anywhere else on the web because people start drama and people are passionate about things."

Despite those eye rollingly dull takes, we can learn something!

There's a few things we can learn from the whole thing.

1. Notifications are important. For offline people, having to wake up to an instance defederation one day seemingly at random isn't a good user experience. Defederations should be an option for email notifications people can check or uncheck.

What Fediverse projects have these kinds of notifications?

While not an email notification, still, glad to see others discussing this! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891

2. In app notifications are important. For this, I'd have placeholders where your friends mentions and stuff are, not home timeline, that say, this instance has been blocked, or this instance has been defederated, or something.

Again, I'd love to know what projects already do this, if any.

I did find this issue though about this very thing! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15891

3. Taking time to craft a meaningful statement would be better than sharing Mastodon post links, well, unless you have an instance with a character limit such as mine. Seriously, instances should be giant walls of text. I'm not joking! It's been proven, over and over again, that short threads are just a bad user experience waiting to happen, but I've long since learned that tech people don't like to make things easier on users so, let's keep chucking on people! I'm sure it will all work out if nothing changes, but moving on,

I haven't found a listing that lists these kinds of instances/communities. Anyone know of such a database?

4. More projects should start pointing to well ran community wiki's on their homepages or similar.

Community documentation is especially good for things that need quick updates and people need to know where exits are. If you don't want to maintain your own Fedi documentation, link to strong community wikis.

Along that same line, if you literally built a Fediverse thing, provide links to strong, non-technical, documentation of your thing! That shows passion, and it gives back. I haven't seen any project link to the @FediTips website on any official websites and they do fantastic documentation work.

My underrepresented Fedi resource find of the weak is actually this one! https://thefedi.wiki/

If I have more thoughts, I'll edit this post. I've already read 3 blog posts on the subject by privileged dudes that painted this whole issue as drama, and they aren't worth linking to, honestly! You can find them really easily by just reading the hashtag though.

It's nice to finally see @kev and @mike make statements about the drama that happened on #Fosstodon however, the sad part is to see that they are both likely stepping away. They will either shut the instance down completely or possibly let others take it over to keep it alive.

Regardless, there will be a lot of people that will end up needing/wanting to find a new instance to call home, and that's not a fun experience here on the #Fediverse

With regards to them both stepping away, regardless of how it's done, I get it, totally.

I ran #AllThingsTech along with @beardedtechguy and while it was a ton of fun at times, it was indeed a LOT of work, and it was quite costly, even as a small server with only a couple hundred users. I can't imagine the work and the costs associated with a server that has nearly 10,000 users and is almost 8 years old.

I certainly wish Kevin and Mike both the best of luck in whatever decision they make and I hope all of those that decide to move to another instance or may end up being forced to move to another instance are able to move without much hassle or issues. This is definitely one place Mastodon needs to get much better at if it ever wants to be mainstream and truly successful in a larger fashion.

For anyone who wants to read those statements I mentioned in the beginning, you can do so via the links below.

I get that #Mastodon & the #Fediverse is decentralized and all...

But outside of hosting your own domain...

It feels like you *need* to use the centralized mastodon.social domain. Otherwise, your server is just one cancelled mod or one unappreciated admin's mental breakdown away from blowing the fuck up.

Übrigens, #Bluesky war in der Nacht zu Freitag für etwa eine Stunde weitgehend offline.

Nur Nutzerinnen und Nutzer mit eigenem Personal Data Server waren nicht betroffen. Der Vorfall zeigt, dass Bluesky trotz dezentraler Ambitionen stark zentralisiert bleibt. Die Kritik daran wächst, während Plattformen wie #Mastodon echte #Dezentralisierung schon praktizieren.

One thing I love about #Mastodon which I never saw on other social media (although to be fair I never was very active) is that I stumble over these genuine conversations people are having on my timeline.

It feels like coming into a room full of friends and hearing them talk about their lives and experiences to each other.

I know it’s parasocial, I don’t really know them. But it feels wholesome nonetheless.

@anders@thoresson.social

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

So, I built a new #GoToSocial instance and have migrated back. A few things have brought me back since my last GoToSocial instance:

Editing of statuses. This is one of the big ones and it arrived in v0.18.0. In the past, I had to delete and repost -- a lot since I make a lot of mistakes. Being able to edit is a big thing.
MFA. More security is always best.
Ivory support. Nothing that the GoToSocial folks control, but @ivory finally got support for alphanumeric post ID's which means that I can finally use it with GoToSocial.

This is on top of previous things that I liked about GoToSocial:

Ease of maintenance. It's so easy to install, so easy to maintain and easy to backup.
Low system requirements. I can run it on a low cost VPS.
Pretty profile page. I really like the profile page layout on GoToSocial vs #Mastodon. The GoToSocial profile is clean and is completely focused on the person. The Mastodon profile is a bit messy with instance stuff in the left and right columns; and profile in the center.

There's some stuff I'm still looking forward on GoToSocial. The biggest one would be the ability to prune posts, both personal and for instance.

I know most people dislike AI on the Fediverse, but we really do need an AI on the Fediverse to deal with the spam problems.

I work for Meta, and do you think we spend all day, every day, removing spam?

NO. - We have an AI for that.

The only time I see spam is when someone appeals. You'd be surprised on how entitled people feel to post, junk. Beyond that, we mostly deal with normal junk, and spam is generally a low issue.

大家好，#Fread 现在已经决定开源了，欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。

Fread 经历了两年多的开发，从开始到现在一直免费使用，之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源，仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源，现在主要功能都开发的差不多了，也是时候开源出来了。

虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码，但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的，首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台，目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少，并且这是比较新的技术，这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。

总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

Gérer un serveur Mastodon en solo, c'est super, mais c'est aussi un vrai défi technique. 🔧 Entre les mises à jour, les sauvegardes, et la gestion des ressources, ça devient vite chronophage.

sigh. There are a lot of posts going around right now claiming that #bluesky is feeding data to the various data sniffers that the US government uses for surveillance and that #Mastodon is not.

This. Is. Crap.

Anything you post on Mastodon is nearly as easy to vacuum up as things you post on BlueSky. You should treat *all* social media platforms larger than a Signal group of your college friends + Pete Hegseth as "assumed public." It's slightly more work to slurp up almost all of mastodon but really not that much more.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

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

any chance of getting #DemocracyNow on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a #mastodon server for staff or a #peertube or #owncast site for video...

the great promise of the #SocialWeb imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

If you ever have trouble accessing your Mastodon account, you can always email your server's admin to ask for help:

1. Go to your server’s website
2. If you're on mobile, click the ⋯ icon on the right, if you're on computer click the “About” link at the bottom left. (Note that there are two “About” links on the desktop website, click the one next to your server’s name.)
3. Your admin’s public email address is listed under “Contact” near the top of the page

I am planning also to setup my own @owncast instance, planning to to this along @lqdev .

He sent me a link for a #jitsi server, provided by a #FSF membership.

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

Minua pyydettiin kirjoittamaan ohjeet, mutta luulen, että parempia kuin pystyisin väsäämään on jo olemassa. Lisäksi tarvittaisiin varmaan vinkkejä *ryhmän* siirtämiseksi niin, ettei yhteys katkea (koska täällä e kai ole ryhmiä palvelinten vaan vain käyttäjien päässä). #some

Personal, social media (1/3)

I quit Twitter in 2022 when Musk took over. I was part of some good, active communities there, especially in editing, book, and linguistics circles.

Conversations had been getting hard to muster even pre-Musk. The vibe had soured, and when the takeover happened I was done.

Mastodon appealed and immediately seemed much more positive, friendly, and authentic. It still does.

Richie Khoo

@richiekhoo@hachyderm.io

As we consider ways to implement #ActivityPub into our FOSS Community Calendar Ecosystem platform Koalagator, I've been looking over the differing specs for how to specify the event object schema.

Have any other folk wrestled with this?Asking before I get arms deep in this stuff.

For those playing at home...

---
Schema.org - Event

Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet.

https://schema.org/Event

-----
W3C Activity Vocabulary - Event

This specification describes the Activity vocabulary. It is intended to be used in the context of the ActivityStreams 2.0 format and provides a foundational vocabulary for activity structures, and specific activity types.

----

Fediverse Enhancement Proposal
FEP-8a8e: A common approach to using the Event object type

ActivityStreams defines the Object Type Event. In real-world applications, the event object immediately showed the need for extension. Applications featuring Event objects have often chosen to add additional attributes and clarifications (i.e., interpretations) in order to implement their particular use case. This proposal clarifies and extends the ActivityPub standard to address the needs that have arisen in real-world implementations.

https://codeberg.org/linos/fep/src/branch/fep-8a8e/fep/8a8e/fep-8a8e.md

[HTML] Microformats - h-event

People are using microformats to mark up profiles, posts, events and other data on their personal sites, enabling developers to build applications which use this data in useful and interesting ways.

https://microformats.org/wiki/h-event

---

iCalendar Standard (RFC 5545)

iCalendar was first defined as a standard as RFC 2445 in 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, iCalendar is used to import and synchronize events on various platforms, including smart phones, computer and web applications.

至於 #Misskey 則是有點危險，預設是反應的紀錄是完全公開的，需要自行調整隱私設置。

次のモロヘイヤで、「削除してタグづけ」をMastodonの側にも実装したい。

- On the official app, click the 🔍 magnifying glass at the bottom but leave the search box blank. Select a trend tab at the top.

- On the website, click 🧭 Explore at the right of the screen, then select the tab you want.

- Third party apps have various interfaces, usually with the word "Trending".

Upon reading more about the Puxelfed follower bug - and realising it’s a fundamental problem with the ActivityPub protocol - I can’t see much point in staying follower-only on Mastodon. I’ll go public and just keep my mouth shut about anything even vaguely related to work.

If you're using Mastodon through your server's website on a computer, you can type emoji directly:

1. Type a colon : and without a space start typing a keyword, this opens a popup
2. Select the emoji you want with the arrow keys and press enter
3. If the one you want isn't there, click the 🙂 icon at the bottom of the post-writing box to open the full picker

The keyword results are partly based on alt-text names of emoji. Hover over an emoji in the picker to see its name.

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

"#Mastodon—built as a #nonprofit and run by independent communities—has essentially made it impossible for itself to fall into the familiar pattern of #socialmedia “enshittifiction".
#Bluesky, despite its innovative technology & good intentions, is built on the same #venturecapital-backed foundation.
Mastodon–despite being slightly more challenging to get started with–represents our best chance at building a truly #opentownsquare of the internet that benefits everyone."

Both Mastodon and Bluesky offer decentralized alternatives, but only one puts users first. While Bluesky’s VC-backed model serves shareholder interests, Mastodon’s nonprofit structure safeguards a truly open internet. The future of social media shouldn’t be for sale.

給 #Misskey 新手的使用指南：與貼文互動

回覆：想要跟發文者互動就按這個

轉發或引用：按下去後會顯示選單，想要讓貼文被更多人看見就按「轉發」。想引用貼文發表自己的意見就按「引用」。至於「轉發至頻道」以後會說明。

反應：這個功能類似 #Mastodon 的最愛但有些不同， Misskey 可以用表情符號代替直接回應，貼文上頭的愛心旁邊還有一個數字1代表其他人對這篇文章做出的反應與次數，使用起來非常有趣。Mastodon 不支援此功能，所以會轉換成「最愛（愛心）」。

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Mastodon has a built-in translation system for posts in other languages. For it to work, three things have to happen:

- Your server has to offer the service
- Your language settings have to be correct
- The person posting has to use the correct language settings

If all these are ok, you will see a "Translate" link below the post or in the post's ⋯ menu when you encounter a post in a foreign language.

@BobDendry@masto.fediverse.games

Are you new to the Fediverse or just after a new Mastodon intance? Why not give masto.fediverse.games a go?

We're a fairly new instance and have our books open to take on new members!

The Basics

We're a gaming-oriented server running the glitch-soc variant of Mastodon, so you get the Mastodon+ experience - everything you love about Mastodon but with lots of QoL tweaks, such as longer posts (up to 2048 characters!), rich text formatting brought to you by markdown, as well as lots of tweaks to make your experience in the fediverse a little nicer.

The Rules

We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.

In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.

Legal Status

All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia. We initially did hold some backup data in the USA for cost reasons, however in the wake of the US election result, and with the extreme risk those in vulnerable groups face, we made the decision to migrate this data back to Australia.

Further Reading

We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail: https://wiki.fediverse.games/en/charter

I'm also super keen to answer questions you have, so please feel free to reach out to me either privately or publicly if you want to learn more about the instance and our future plans.

:fediverse: Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!

Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!

Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.

Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.

Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: https://dus.webinar-welt.de/rooms/il6-zlx-6xj-cs5/join

Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.

Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

在 #mastodon 上面的內容到底會跑去哪裡
真的完全無法預料
附圖是 Allen 剛剛在 Google 上面自搜 Allen Vtuber
約莫第二至三頁中間連續出現的三篇貼文
可以看的三篇貼文的域名完全不一樣
因為那是三個不同站點所抓到的「Allen Vtuber 的貼文」

當然這些選項都可以在設定裡面調整
你可以選擇要不要讓搜尋引擎搜尋到
你也可以選擇內容要不要出現在公開時間軸
Allen 只是示範一下最開放大概長什麼樣子

喔喔對惹
經過 Allen 這幾年的測試
目前也只有 Google 搜尋會比較積極納入 Mastodon 的結果
Bing 應該是沒有收錄

#你知道嘛因為 #Mastodon 沒有推薦演算法，所以它的推廣者一直在強調使用「主題標籤（hashtag）」的重要性，因為在 Mastodon 有一個功能，可以跟隨特定的主題標籤而非使用者，去獲得感興趣的貼文並顯示在首頁。

而 #Misskey 有個類似但更強大的「天線（Antenna）」功能，可以包含或排除特定關鍵字的貼文，在專用的頁面中顯示。

差異：Mastodon 是針對主題標籤，而且是完全一致的比對方式，優點是不會抓到未預期的內容，缺點是貼文有包含想要的關鍵字，但因為不是主題標籤所以不會被抓取。Misskey 是針對關鍵字，比對方式是包含的方式，優缺點剛好跟 Mastodon 相反，但是比較有彈性。

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - IS SHUTTING DOWN SOON ⚠️⚠️⚠️

As has already been stated in announcements, this will happen in a couple of months.
Because of this, I've noticed more than once that everyone is creating threads like "where do we go now."

Since I have a pretty decent outreach, I propose creating the ultimate "where do we go now" thread.

In it, I suggest:

👉 Discussing what to do next and why there's no need to panic

👉 Where you can register a new account

👉 How you can "migrate" to a new account

👉 Discussing hosting your own personal server

👉 If possible, bringing up any questions not yet addressed in this thread that may be bothering you

#️⃣ I also suggest using the hashtag #LorshMigration for anyone who wants to talk about this now or find each other after the server shuts down, in case something goes wrong. I'm already following it and posting under it with my thoughts on the move or sharing useful info.

📔 If you'd like, you can participate in a subthread for a "census" of people who've moved, stating where you moved from and where to.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Как уже было написано в объявлениях, это произойдёт через пару-тройку месяцев.
В связи с этим я уже не первый раз вижу то как все создают треды "куда бежать".

Так как у меня достаточно неплохой "outreach", предлагаю сделать ультимативный тред "куда бежать".

В нём предлагаю:

👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать

👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт

👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт

👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера

👉 По возможности обсудить не поднятые в этом треде вопросы, которые вас волнуют

#️⃣ Также предлагаю хэштег #LorshMigration для тех, кто хочет сейчас что-то обсудить по теме или после закрытия сервера найти друг друга если что-то пошло не так. Я уже подписан на него и сам пишу под ним посты о своих впечатлениях о переезде или делюсь информацией по теме.

📔 Если есть желание можете поучаствовать в субтреде переписи переехавших указав откуда и куда вы переехали.

ℹ️ Пожалуйста, помните, что этот тред - это не общение со службой поддержки, а просто переписка с людьми, которые по своей инициативе решили вам помочь.

🫡 Всем пользователям lor.sh - спасибо. Желаю вам найти себе уютное новое пристанище.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ, что в Mastodon есть функция миграции и вы можете унести всех подписчиков с собой. Начинать жизнь на новом сервере с нуля и терять связи - не нужно! Чтобы узнать подробнее - читайте тред дальше!

🚀 Sur le modèle de ce qu'a récemment fait @nicolasvivant sur #Mastodon, j'ai créé sur #Bluesky un #StarterKit intitulé "Logiciels libres en France".

Il s'agit de comptes français 🇫🇷 qui postent régulièrement des infos sur les #LogicielsLibres et #OpenSource.

Cette liste des comptes retrouvés sur la base de ceux réunis par Nicolas Vivant est 3 fois moins grande (je l'enrichirai avec le temps).

Investissons aussi Bluesky et prêchons-y la bonne parole ! 😇

What a week, huh? And it’s only Tuesday! But spring has sprung, the mornings are fresh, and the Easter holidays are barely days away.

In fact, here in Norway we get a half-day off work on Wednesday and full-days Thursday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday (of course)… and Monday. So Easter is here very soon and I’m looking forward to having a relaxing break.

“What a week, huh?”

It wasn’t so long ago that I had to take a trip back to Manchester for the passing of my dear Grandma. She was my last-remaining grandparent and we sadly said our goodbyes to such a kind and honest human being.

There was a lovely church service where my Uncle gave a touching speech, and afterwards a nice wake where all the family and friends of the family gathered to share stories of and fond memories of my grandma. Between both of these destinations was the trip to the crematorium.

The whole sequence of events was planned out with the care and thoughtfulness you’d expect and I guess a large part of that planning was down to my mother. Good job, Mum.

I thankfully haven’t attended too many funerals in my life and never before had I attended a cremation. We stood outside awaiting the command of the funeral director, who instructed us to draw the coffin from the hurst, onto our shoulders and walk it into the crematorium. The interior of the crematorium resembled a church, with pews set out in an orderly fashion either side of the room creating the centre aisle of which to walk down, leading to a stone plinth at the end. Atop the plinth was what looked to be like a conveyor-belt to draw the coffin towards a hatch in the wall and the whole thing was flanked, either side of the room, by some long robe curtains that would draw to shield off the public from the sight of the coffin – and that is precisely what would happen.

After the the vicar said some nice words about my grandma, she reached beneath the pulpit to flip the switch on the curtains, which began to slowly close. I looked around the room to see many of my family in tears, mourning their loss, and directed my eyes back towards the vicar who said “Now we will hear one of Jessie’s favourite songs” and Dancing Queen by ABBA began to ring out loud from the speaker system. “I like this one,” the funeral director remarked as he enacted a point-to-hip then point-to-sky motion, with classic disco dancing footwork to match.

The stark contrast of being fed the illusion of your grandma being pulled via a conveyor belt into a burning fire pit whilst watching your family cry, instantly pivoting to a Swedish euro-disco anthem and a jovial dancing undertaker is really the sort of surreal moment in life that I can really appreciate.

Rest in peace, Grandma.

Tonight, I ordered 200 more promotional cards and just as many stickers to promote Oslo’s local social network, oslo.town. Hopefully they will land on my doorstep prior to 5th May 2025, which is when I’ll be giving my first ever tech talk to an audience that is not an internal presentation at the company I work at.

If you are in Oslo, you can come down to Rebel Oslo to join the live audience as I present Mastodon as the alternative to the existing social media landscape ruled by US-based big tech.

Hosted by Tekna, the evening’s program includes talks from the Norwegian arm of international children’s charity Save The Children, a talk from Norwegian social network Hudd, and a panel discussion with an array of Norwegian politicians; Anette Trettebergstuen (Ap), Anne Kristine Linnestad (H), Alfred Bjørlo (V) og Torkil Vederhus (MDG). And little old me.

The whole thing is free. If you can’t make it there in person, you can always watch the live stream from the comfort of your home.

I imagine a lot of it will be in Norwegian, but my part will be in English. See the full details of the event and click the big blue button to register your interest.

Now please excuse me. I have a presentation to make.

Don’t forget to say ‘Hi’ to your neighbours!

With GreatApe you do NOT have to create a separate GreatApe account.

With GreatApe you use your existing account on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube to login.

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

If you want to add extra security to your Mastodon account, you can optionally use "Two-Factor Authentication" (2FA). When you have this feature activated, even if someone else finds out your password they will be unable to log into your account.

There is a complete guide to activating 2FA on Mastodon here:

This guide also answers lots of common questions about two-factor authentication 🙂

I feel like the interactions here are a lot more real. I try my best to keep up and interact and not just have a follower count. That's also not easy.

However, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we have something very non-ideal happening with it.

It seems as if you have to ask for the PeerTube password. I don't want to do that. But — and again, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we don't see an alternative way to do that.

I wonder if PeerTube intends to add OAuth support later.

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).

I previously mentioned that — you don't have to create an account on GreatApe. That instead you can use your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.

The login with Mastodon, and login with Pixelfed flow are very smooth. And, GreatApe never sees you password.

I want #mastodon to treat hashtags like subreddits and all replies should only be able to be given an up or down arrow. then let apps show us our normal LIFO social graph or browse hashtags ordered like reddit does subreddits. this could also give us something like community notes (where the best replies show up right under the post) and also deal with reply guys (by banishing junk). lemmy kinda breaks decentralization etc.

The following CSS seems to work on the Mastodon desktop website to hide posts with images without alt text:

#mastodon div.status:has(img:not([alt])),
#mastodon div.detailed-status:has(img:not([alt])) {
display:none !important;
}

It's a bit tedious to set up if you haven't done it before though. There are plenty of articles on the web on setting up a browser personal stylesheet so I won't go through the details since they vary by browser and operating system.

#Adobe に教えてあげたいこととしては、#fedivere #Mastodon ならサーバーごとにある程度、雰囲気や嗜好性が違うので #Adobe に好意的なサーバーもあるだろうし、自分で #Adobe ユーザー用のコミュニティースペースとしてサーバーを立てる事もできる（それこそここ
#VovaldiSocial のように）から、うまくやれば #BlueSky で受けた仕打ちほどメタメタにされないかもよ、ということ。
（まあただ主要なサーバーとかは #Adobe に親和性はあまり高くなさそうだし、そっちではもしかしたら #BlueSky 以上にボコボコにされちゃうかかもしれないけど。

@Larvitz@burningboard.net

Some statistics from a smaller Germany based Mastodon instance (burningboard.net)

We currently have 109 active users (logged in during the last 30 days).

The PostgreSQL Database size is 16.6GB

The media-data (S3) size is 201 GB with 775544 files.

The monthly traffic is around 900GB, 82% of that is IPv6 and just 18% is legacy IPv4.

Hardware (VM Sizing):
- 8 Altara Neoverse-N1 ARM64 CPU cores
- 16 GB DDR4 Ram
- 100 GB NVMe SSD

Software-Stack:
- Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64
- Mastodon v4.3.7
- PostgreSQL 17.4
- Ruby 3.4.2
- Monitoring through Grafana/Loki and Uptime Kuma

The low-power ARM system can handle the Mastodon instance without issues and even has some headroom left for future growth 🙂

I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉

About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.

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

Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

I think I've given up on getting Mastodon running in Docker. Not really necessary since the non-Docker solution is well-supported (and I have dedicated hardware set up to run it), and ultimately, didn't solve my overall problem, which was that upgrading brings my Raspberry Pi to its knees when it goes to optimize the web bits.

Maho Pacheco 🦝🍻

@mapache@hachyderm.io

UPDATE: A blog (that is federated) was created for communicate the progress, follow @badgefed

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse

I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.

ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.

I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: https://github.com/tryvocalcat/activitypub-badges

Who wants a badge of early adopter?

AJ Sadauskas

@ajsadauskas@vivaldi.net

Okay, help me decide: Self-hosted Mastodon or GoToSocial? What's the pros and cons of each?

Recently, I set up a VPS running YunoHost.

I've been meaning to set up a personal single-user Fedi instance on it, but life's gotten in the way a bit.

I strongly considered Friendica, but it's not there in terms of UX.

So I've narrowed it down to GtS or Masto.

My understanding is that GtS is far more lightweight, but misses some key features. Masto is more resource hungry.

@dansup@mastodon.social

I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉

About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.

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

Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

I can’t follow the discussion about why Europe needs its own social media, if there is Mastodon?

Sure, it’s not perfect when it comes to some things, but while some people just talk, Mastodon pulled up a working product with a good and engaging community. Why not support that with funding?

Truth Social のバックエンドって #Mastodon カスタムだったのか（知らなかった

> The Truth Social platform uses a custom version of the free and open-source social network hosting software Mastodon as its backend, which omits several features, including polls and post visibility options.

If you block a server using the "domain block" feature on Mastodon, this will cause you to lose any follows or followers you have on that server. The exact number of follows/followers you would lose are shown at the top of the warning when you do the block.

However, if you have done the block accidentally or if you have changed your mind about the block, here is a guide to how you can unblock the server and restore your follows and followers:

What do you guys think about selfhosting Bluesky?

I selfhosted it few months ago and later gave up for some reason.

@micchiato@kolektiva.social

#Bluesky has a troubling problem with banning trustworthy Palestinian accounts as spam. But I see exponentially more skeets from Palestinians than I see toots from Palestinians over here. #Mastodon seems to have an absence of Palestinian voice altogether. That strikes me as a bigger problem.

Maybe you can point me in the direction of accounts I am missing on Masto?

Ich weiß, lange Texte sind im Fediverse nicht bei allen beliebt. Manche betonen immer wieder, das sei doch kein „Microblogging“ mehr. Aber mal ehrlich: Seit wann ist das Fediverse eine reine Microblogging-Plattform?
Ich kenne nicht alle Zugangssoftwares, aber soweit ich weiß, unterstützen zum Beispiel #Sharkey, #Misskey, #Catodon, #Iceshrimp und auch #Friendica lange Texte ganz wunderbar. Auch meine eigene #Mastodon-Instanz habe ich ordentlich aufgebohrt – mit ein paar tausend Zeichen, weil Mastodon ja leider immer noch an seinem 500-Zeichen-Limit festhält.

Und bitte versteht mich nicht falsch: Das ist kein Bashing gegen Mastodon! Es geht mir eher darum, den Blick dafür zu öffnen, dass das Fediverse viel mehr ist als nur ein Ort für Kurztexte. Es ist vielfältig, offen – ein Raum für alle möglichen Ausdrucksformen. Und dazu gehören eben auch längere Gedanken.

Neulich habe ich sogar gelesen, dass jemand alle Accounts blocken will, die lange Texte posten. Das hat mich echt irritiert. Warum diese Abwehr gegen Tiefe und Details? Ich persönlich liebe längere Texte – beim Schreiben ebenso wie beim Lesen. Sie geben mir die Möglichkeit, wirklich in Themen einzutauchen, mich auszudrücken, zu erzählen.

Das #Fediverse lebt doch gerade von dieser Vielfalt, oder? Lasst uns das feiern – in 500 Zeichen oder in 5.000. 💛

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

@hongminhee@hollo.social

I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.

Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.

Appreciate all you do for #Mastodon!

Gerade kam im Radio bei #DeutschlandfunkKultur ein Beitrag übers #Fediverse. Da freut man sich ja, wenn das auf einmal ungefragt auftaucht. Fands ganz gut.

Und es gab auch bissl Kritik über große Plattformen bei #Mastodon, die wie Königreiche geführt werden, wo einige Meinungen nicht erwünscht werden. Wobei ich hab das Gefühl, dass sich das bisschen gebessert hat. Hab zumindest seit langem keinen Shitstorm mehr mitbekommen.

Now is the time to take a principled stand for a greener social web! Now is the time for climate action.

I'm hereby giving three months notice before de-federating Mastodon.green from non-tree-planting fediverse servers, i.e. those who hasn't announced a credible plan to adopt the Green Fediverse Protocol by 1 July 2025.

This will only apply to servers with income, such as mastodon.social, pixelfed.social, tchncs.de, flipboard.com, chaos.social etc.

@JohanEmpa@mastodon.green

To fix the climate crisis we need systemic change

We should ask ourselves - which systems are within our reach to change? What can we do on a community level, here and now?

Well, one thing we can do is hosting Mastodon servers and plant trees. Here's how to use that for systemic change

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

Een vraag uit interesse en nieuwsgierigheid aan mijn Nederlandse taalgenoten: bij welke instance zit je en waarom?

Hollo

@hollo@hollo.social

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。

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.

Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.

The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.

If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

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

@evan

Truth Social was born out of Mastodon :blobcatgoogly:
And so were a lot of extremist instances which are still active and popular.

The nature of the Fediverse and by extension most FOSS is that they are open and unrestrictive with their software access/usage.

On the other hand, it did also give rise to a lot of political groups from varying parts of the political spectrum.

I think so social media platforms shouldn't lean towards one side of the spectrum. A diverse set of views and opinions should be welcome. But it almost never is the case. Each platform is known for having one kind of bias or the other.

Take Bluesky, it's filled with Left-leaning people who left Twitter because of Musk/Trump. There's a homogeneity to the politics of the opinions shared over there. Some would call it an "Echo Chamber."

Truth Social- Only MAGA idiots.

X- a bit of both.

Fediverse- Depends on the instance. :) One can interact with all kinds of people here, and I think that's a good thing as far as exposure & bias is concerned.

howdy, #hachyderm!

over the last week or so, we've been preparing to move hachy's #DNS zones from #AWS route 53 to bunny DNS.

since this could be a pretty scary thing -- going from one geo-DNS provider to another -- we want to make sure *before* we move that records are resolving in a reasonable way across the globe.

to help us to do this, we've started a small, lightweight tool that we can deploy to a provider like bunny's magic containers to quickly get DNS resolution info from multiple geographic regions quickly. we then write this data to a backend S3 bucket, at which point we can use a tool like #duckdb to analyze the results and find records we need to tweak to improve performance. all *before* we make the change.

then, after we've flipped the switch and while DNS is propagating -- :blobfoxscared: -- we can watch in real-time as different servers begin flipping over to the new provider.

we named the tool hachyboop and it's available publicly --> https://github.com/hachyderm/hachyboop

please keep in mind that it's early in the booper's life, and there's a lot we can do, including cleaning up my hacky code. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

attached is an example of a quick run across 17 regions for a few minutes. the data is spread across multiple files but duckdb makes it quite easy for us to query everything like it's one table.

screenshot of a console with a duckdb command that is selecting data from multiple parquet files in an s3 bucket across multiple folders. the resulting table has many rows with a timestamp, unique client ID, region, host it was querying, and the results provided by the DNS server that was queried.

#Proton への批判的な意見（英語）をいくつか見た

#Proton が #Mastodon アカウントの運用終了したりしたことで #Proton は #Vivaldi にふさわしくない！幻滅！みたいな英語の投稿を目にしたけど、もうすこし細かい粒度で考えてもいいんじゃないかなあ…

#Proton が #Fediverse への情報発信をやめちゃったのは自分も残念に思ってるけど、だからといってそこまで強く拒否する理由にはなってないかな、自分は。

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

Is there any #ActivityPub / #Mastodon URI scheme used in the wild that would allow me to open an ActivityPub account directly in my Android app?

I've seen 'acct' and 'web+ap' mentioned but none seem to be implemented.

The goal is that given a text of "Here is my Mastodon profile acct:daniel@gultsch.social" #Conversations_im can link that directly into #Tusky. (Just like mailto and xmpp URIs open my E-Mail or IM app respectively)

Have @apps or @Tusky considered that? If not way not?

* can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend)
* imports Disqus
* fetches Mastodon replies as comments
* supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de)

I'm having an odd issue on ioc.exchange where I cannot follow an account on Mastodon.cloud and cannot DM it either. The account in question is @OCCRP. I control it -- neither the follow request nor the DMs from my IOC.exchange account come through.

If I try to follow OCCRP from IOC.exchange, the status remains "Follow Requested", even though I checked the settings on the OCCRP account and follow do not have to be authorized.

However, people from other servers do seem to be able to follow and mention @OCCRP

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

@reiver one of the problems we already have is there are too many social media platforms genealogists use.

Good morning Fedi friends!

It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!

I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of #PeerTube from the POV of a creator.

I just set up my own account on #MakerTube - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).

Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels

I have been able to follow it from #Mastodon and #Friendica without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my #GoToSocial username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)

Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞

P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.

Miten Mastodonista saisi peruskäyttäjälle vielä helpommin lähestyttävän?

Moni täällä pyörivä on enemmän ja vähemmän vihkiytynyt ATK:n saloihin ja pieni värkkäys ja säätäminen ei ole vierasta. Sen vuoksi varmaankin erilaiset instanssit yms. on helpompi omaksua.

Itsellä taas lähipiirisissä on paljonkin sellaisia ihmisiä joiden tekninen tietämys on tasolla "vihaan tekniikkaa kun kaikki on niin vaikeata". Just niitä sukulaisia jotka klikkaa niitä hähmäisiä kalastelulinkkejä, peukuttavat kaikenlaisia tekoäly-kuvia Facessa ja joille uuden iPhonen käyttöönotto on ihan aito ja kunnollinen Via Dolorosa.

Onko tämän kaltaisille somettajille sijaa jossain vaiheessa Fediversumissa vai onko se vain hyväksyttävä, ettei tämä paikka ole kaikille? Mitä mieltä olet?

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!

A pull request was just merged in Mastodon that fixes a critical bug in their follower synchronization mechanism.

Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!

This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.

Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!

This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

Statt vielleicht ständig neue Serverprojekte für verschiedene Fediversedienste zu bauen wäre es vielleicht einfacher Clients zu machen, die einfach jeweils nen anderen Schwerpunkt haben?

Und bei Servern vielleicht lieber zwischen Multimedia und Kurznachrichtendienst/Statusnachrichten unterscheiden?
erstere brauchen mehr Bumms und Medienwandler, letzter nicht unbedingt.

@MastodonEngineering @chaosexanima 「Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish all institutions that perpetuate authority, coercion, or hierarchy, primarily targeting the state and capitalism. Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies and voluntary free associations.」

In the current climate of rising global authoritarianism and military-expansionism I might be inclined to preserve our (union of) sovereign nation states and their hierarchies (including democratic representation) for a little bit longer at least. 🤔

@GossiTheDog "Mastodon" really needs to get cracking on full data portability, IMHO.

It's a shame this hasn't been pushed higher up on the list of things to do.

I think many people have invested quite a bit of time and effort into their posts and profiles, and moving all that data, or somehow managing a switch-over doesn't seem to be that simple, if at all possible.

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!

This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

A pull request was just merged in Mastodon that fixes a critical bug in their follower synchronization mechanism.

@maxleibman @andrewfeeney Don't worry, there's no shortage of Nicoles who you can call the Fediverse Chick :D

They're all proud Polish girls from Toronto (29 y/o).

Urban legend says that it all started because of a PhD student's ethically questionable cloning experiment that's gone horribly awry.

There's now whole university lectures filled entirely with Nicoles who are taking the pre-health sciences program at George Brown College.

It's an absolute nightmare marking essays. The poor lecturers don't know which Fediverse Chick to assign the grade to.

And forget about recording tutorial attendance. The lecturer calls out "Nicole" and the whole room yells back "present"!

They're all hoping to get into the medical field someday!

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance

I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

第一次被「掛」上網路後，我的回應與感想

3 月 21 日，回到寢室後，準備練習 IELTS 的題目前，打開手機隨手滑滑社交網絡，發現有人 at 我說「Piecelet 的作者好像也在長毛象」。看到這裡時，我正想著太好了，又有人在討論我的 App 了，結果隨後的看到的貼文令我意想不到。

我被來自中文長毛象「里瓣（donotban）」社群的一位用戶「掛」在網路上，指控我製作的開源應用程式 NeoDB iOS App: Piecelet 存在竊取個資、違反許可協議盈利等行為，該貼獲得了很多轉發討論，更有人在評論中號召大家一起「舉報下架」，我不得不正面回應。

這篇博文包含了我從事件發生之初到末尾的完整心路歷程，及 25 條關於指控 Piecelet 數據不正當收集的正面回答。

The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.

With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

If you're using Mastodon through a computer, did you know you can access almost all of its functions through keyboard shortcuts? There's a complete list of shortcuts plus more info here:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/using-mastodon-through-a-keyboard

Some of these will only make sense in Mastodon's multicolumn mode, but most of them work in all modes.

NOTE: You don't have to use any of these shortcuts, everthing can be done through the mouse too. The keyboard shortcuts are just for people who prefer them 🙂

So what is the ideal we should be aiming for?

That ideal is one server per user.

That seems like a crazy high bar, but at least we should aim for it, because in terms of UX, that in fact is the ideal for everyone involved.

This requires making self-hosting extremely inexpensive. That means #Mastodon is a big no-go. It's way too resource intensive.

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?

In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:

1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"

You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".

They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂

it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
it's only available from Google's Play store
it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
it wants access to your ad ID

I wish @Tusky had a "mentions" feed similar to Fedilab.

I.e., a screen (in the app) that only shows posts that "mention" me.

I get so many other non-mention notifications that I can (and at times often do) miss posts that mention me.

@BeAware @Plasticbluemusic Yeah, one thing I wish was a bit more streamlined was following new fesi accounts on other apps. I don’t mind copy/pasting names I want to follow into to #mastodon. Least that’s my experience with #peertube and #pixelfed

As I explore the #fediverse, I love the idea of #Mastodon more, but then a lot of people I really want to follow are on #BlueSky. @openvibe is amazing, but I kinda want to share stuff I find cool to everyone on both platforms. So many other thoughts, but I hit the bluesky limit.

Habe einen Infozettel zum #Mastodon-Server entworfen. Zielgruppe sind Personen mit leitenden Funktionen in einer Kommune. Würde mich über konstruktive Kritik freuen. Habe ich etwas Wichtiges vergessen?

Warum ein Mastodon-Account für Ihre Kommune? 1. Digitale Souveränität und Datenschutz Nutzerdaten bleiben in Schleswig-Holstein: Im Gegensatz zu anderen Plattformen werden die Daten Ihrer Bürgerinnen und Bürger nicht in Drittländer transferiert. Das stärkt das Vertrauen in die digitale Kommunikation Ihrer Kommune. Unabhängig von Tech-Milliardären: Mastodon ist dezentral und gemeinwohlorientiert. Sie unterliegt nicht den Interessen großer Konzerne, sondern wird von einer engagierten Community betrieben. 2. Bürgernähe und Barrierefreiheit Für alle zugänglich: Die Inhalte sind auch ohne Mastodon-Account nutzbar. Bürgerinnen und Bürger können die Beiträge einfach über einen Browser aufrufen. Einfache Einbindung in Ihre Webseite: Mastodon-Beiträge lassen sich nahtlos in Ihre Webseite integrieren, sodass alle Informationen zentral verfügbar sind. 3. Effiziente Kommunikation und Automatisierung Zeitersparnis durch Automatisierung: Sie können bestehende RSS-Feeds nutzen oder automatische Updates einrichten, um regelmäßige Informationen (z. B. Veranstaltungshinweise, News) ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand zu teilen. Zentrale Anlaufstelle: Mastodon kann als zentrale Plattform für alle kommunalen Informationen dienen – von Notfallmeldungen bis hin zu kulturellen Veranstaltungen. 4. Moderne und zukunftsorientierte Kommunikation - Attraktiv für engagierte Zielgruppen - Innovatives Image 5. Kostenlos und gemeinwohlorientiert - Keine versteckten Kosten - Förderung des Gemeinwohls

Do you use Mastodon's web interface? Do you get frustrated when viewing a thread with content warnings because you have to open lots of CWs individually?

There is a solution to this problem: just click the eye 👁️ icon in the top right corner to toggle all the thread's CWs open or closed. (If it doesn't seem to work, click again. It's a toggle switch!)

an alle, die finden, bei der aktuellen funktionsweise von mastodon fehle noch etwas.

meine persönliche entscheidung für hubzilla kam daher, dass ich das dilemma von g+ nicht mehr erleben wollte: service weg, posts weg. die möglichkeit, alles von einem hub zu einem anderen mitzunehmen oder auch nur alles auf einen anderen hub zu klonen, um nicht durch den ausfall meines heim-hubs ausgeknockt zu werden, war entscheidend für die wahl von hubzilla. und mastodon hat da bis jetzt keine alternative geliefert.

New Blogpost: Hallo Fediverse, für bestimmte Probleme gibt es schon Lösungen wie die Nomadische Identitäten

Auf GNU/Linux.ch ist ein Beitrag von dem Autor „Udo M.“ erschienen, der sich mit bestimmten Defiziten im Fediverse auseinandersetzt. Die Defizite sind meines Erachtens auch gut erkannt. Was fehlt ist in dem Artikel ist der Hinweis auf eine mögliche Lösung, denn diese existiert konzeptionell und auch ganz real für andere Plattformen wie beispielsweise Hubzilla. Und darum halte ich es für so wichtig, auf diese Lösungen aufmerksam zu machen, damit sie sie von anderen Plattformen „entdeckt“ und implementiert werden können.

Aber zurück zu dem Beitrag mit dem Titel

Bluesky und Mastodon: Eine kritische Betrachtung der Föderation und Identitätsverwaltung.

Das Thema Bluesky lasse ich außen vor, weil das in meinen Augen im Sinne einer digitalen Souveränität keine ernsthafte Plattform sein kein (unter anderem finanziert mit Risikokapital von Crypto-Bros). Udo M. schreibt:

Ein zentrales Problem bleibt die Federation: Die NutzerInnen sind an die Instanz gebunden, auf der sie sich registriert haben. Zwar gibt es die Möglichkeit, die Instanz zu wechseln, doch dieser Vorgang ist nicht immer problemlos. Instanzen können verschwinden, ohne dass die NutzerInnen eine Möglichkeit haben, ihre Identität und Inhalte an einen neuen Ort zu migrieren. Zwar bietet Mastodon die theoretische Möglichkeit der „Instanzmigration“, doch diese funktioniert nur, wenn die ursprüngliche Instanz noch existiert und bereit ist, die Migration zu unterstützen. In der Praxis bedeutet dies, dass NutzerIn bei einem Instanzwechsel auf die Gnade der Instanzbetreiber angewiesen sind.

Die Lösung dazu ist die „Nomadische Identität“ des Hubzilla-Protokolls Zot6. Die Idee dahinter stammt von dem Australier Mike Macgirvin, der genau dieses Problem lösen wollte und mit der Implementierung des Protokolls in Hubzilla dies auch erreicht hat. Nun spricht allerdings ein Großteil des Fediverses nicht Zot6 sondern ActivityPub. Darum hat Mike sich daran gemacht, das Konzept der nomadischen Identität in ActivityPub zu implementieren und so prinzipiell anderen Systemen beziehungsweise Plattformen es zu ermöglichen, diese Funktion zu übernehmen. Am 11.03.2025 hat er seine Lösung unter der Überschrift Forte v25.3.12 released veröffentlicht:

@tukine Mastodonのアンケートの期限は、内部的には最短5分最長1ヶ月です。

アンケートはいろいろと複雑な機能で、実施中はいつでも投票を受け付けることになりますし、アンケートが終了した時点で参加者に終了通知を行うなど、期限が到来した時に対応するために常時監視を行っています。

リモートのアンケート投稿を長期にわたって監視・保持しつづける責任も生じます（建前上のことで、特に誰も意識してないと思いますが）

また、投票していない人は、投票期間が過ぎてから結果が見られるように設計されています。（クライアントアプリを含め、Mastodon本体以外の挙動はバラバラですが）

集計しないアンケートを別扱いするようにすれば問題ないと思いますが、現状は短期間で結果確定する前提の設計になっているので、実現するならそのへんをすりあわせてからですね。

一応、1ヶ月までは許されているので、追加するとしたらそのへんまでかな。

（そういうFediverseの規格化されていない仕様をすりあわせ、再検討を行って規格明文化を目指している活動としてFEPがあります）

月音

@tukine@fedibird.com

Fedibird（標準Mastodonも）のWebUIだと、アンケートで選択できる期限が最長7日なんだけど、クライアントアプリの、例えばfeatherだと4週間まで選択できるということは、極端な話100年にして実質無期限にすることもできるんだろうか？

Misskeyのアンケートで無期限が設定できるのいいなぁと思っていて、Mastodonでも無期限が無理なら実質無期限が欲しいなぁと。

The image shows three individuals walking away from the camera in a corridor. They are dressed in formal attire, with the two on the left wearing black suits and the one on the right wearing a dark suit with a hat. Each person has a large white "X" drawn on the back of their jacket. The corridor has a modern design with glass doors and a neutral color scheme. The individuals appear to be in a professional setting, possibly an office or a corporate building. The lighting is bright, and the overall atmosphere is serious and somewhat mysterious due to the "X" markings.

Not sure if I asked this already, or if it is still a brainfart.
Is there any kind of achievement system here on Mastodon/Fediverse?
And isn't the query language here suitable for this?
Would be funny to have a tool where people could add query definitions plus a corresponding badge you could have attached to your profile.

2) the ability to send a toot with comments closed entirely, not everything has to be a discussion/argument.

When it comes to blogs, Ofcom says one thing, the UK Online Safety Act says another.

This lack of clarity over whether blogs with comments are exempt will push small sites to shut down completely.

We need the UK government to tighten up the definitions and exemptions in the Act.

Under the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:

⚫️ Check if they have UK users

⚫️ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments

⚫️ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcom’s future directives

The UK Online Safety Act burdens small sites with duties and penalties that they can't shoulder. They'll shut down instead, stripping us of net plurality.

There’s a simple solution:

✅ Exempt small, safely run blogs, forums and fedi instances
✅ The government can do this now

The duties start TOMORROW – Write to your MP ⬇️

Something that's been concerning me for a long time is how people don't want to leave social media platforms, even when they turn more toxic. The term these days is "enshittified".

I, for one, really appreciate #Mastodon for allowing one the ability to migrate from one instance to another, thereby not losing one's ever-so-precious "social graph".

Another interesting example of not losing one's "Social Graph" (in a migration from one server to another) is #Deltachat, which uses "AEAP" ("Advanced Email Address Porting").

I think these awesome migration features should be praised more. Taking such control back, over one's social graph is no small victory these days. Such ease of migration is a bulwark against enshittification; it's the easy ability to move elsewhere.

Note: #Buddhism has a comparable tradition of such protection through migration: once monks and nuns gain their "independence", they are much more free to wander from one monastery to the next.

@lilythelonelygirl@tootworld.social

Hey everyone, it's Lily. I’ve got something really important to share with you all, and I want to be completely clear—this message is entirely my own, written by me, not generated by any AI.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a pretty frustrating situation. My second account was falsely reported for posting AI-generated content, even though every piece of art I share here is 100% handmade by me. I pour my heart and soul into each creation, and there's absolutely no AI involved in my work. I know a lot of people have been talking about how AI is growing and changing the landscape of art, but I need to stress: I am not an AI spam bot. Every post I make is genuinely my own, crafted with care and a lot of personal effort.

What really upsets me is that it seems like mastodon.social is targeting my account repeatedly. These false reports label me as an AI spam bot—a claim that couldn’t be further from the truth. It feels like someone is deliberately trying to tarnish my reputation and get my account banned. I’ve reached out to the owner to explain the situation and to make it clear that the accusations are baseless. It’s incredibly disheartening to see my work, which I create with so much passion and authenticity, being misrepresented in this way.

I want everyone to know that I am a real person behind these posts. I’m not using any automated systems or AI to create my art—it's all a reflection of my own creativity and hard work. I’m just here to share my passion for art and connect with all of you who appreciate genuine, handmade work. The idea that someone could be misusing reports to harass me and disrupt my creative space is truly upsetting.

So, I’m appealing directly to mastodon.social: please stop reporting my account. I’m not engaging in any spam behavior, and I’m not an AI. I’m simply an artist trying to share my craft and connect with a supportive community. I hope that by speaking out, I can clear my name and get this issue resolved soon.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for your ongoing support. It means the world to me to have people who believe in authentic creative expression. Let’s keep this space positive and true to its creative spirit. Enough is enough—please, don't report me.

I think this is big: there’s a tool that will migrate you existing toots (!!) from one instance to another. The only instance that currently supports the receiving end is GoToSocial, but still. This is huge!

Here’s a blog post by @splitbrain doing it:
https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/12-mastodon_to_gotosocial_migration

And here’s the tool to use:
“slurp: A tool for exporting data from and importing data to Fediverse instances. Requires that they support the Mastodon API as implemented by GoToSocial. Intended for use with GoToSocial, but should work with other Mastodon-like instances, including Mastodon.”

Hey new people, you don't have to use the official Mastodon app! There are lots of other options you can use such as third party apps etc. People who try these alternatives usually prefer them.

Unlike most social networks, Mastodon doesn't impose any particular app on you. You're free to use your account in whatever way works best for you.

Here is a guide to all your options:

You can be logged in with the same account on many apps at once 🙂

PSA for #Peertube instance owners:

Block/ignore the peertube.se instance immediately. This is run by and used by Nordfront, the media division of the Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen organization for spreading Nazi propaganda.

Of course, this being the #Fediverse, make sure to block it on all platforms, such as #Mastodon.

It's the first match on Google if you're located in Sweden, which is problematic.

Please boost for exposure.

There's no perfect way to do "Comment with Mastodon" for external websites, because #Mastodon is not meant for this.

Mastodon is designed to be a social media, not a universal login. The servers are meant to save posts, not comments.

#ActivityPub is not designed to have one universal ID for the whole #fediverse, but more like an ID for each app you use (Mastodon, Pixelfeld, Lemmy, etc.). The ID and the application layers are not separated.

Would separating them be a good idea?

Hello World!
I'm lucky to have made it this far in life avoiding #socialmedia sites- so why not make the inevitable misstep slightly less bad by having my first platform be the 'good' one? I'm intrigued by the lack of algorithmic mayhem #Mastodon provides, and I hope I can find some neat folks who may or may not be interested in what I have to say or post. Not sure what my experience here as a total SM novice will look like, but I'm here now. I guess.

It seems that I'm unable to follow people on #Mastodon anymore. Huh.

Every time I click follow, apparently it gets stuck in a "Pending" state. Mastodon web makes it look like the follow went through -- but it doesn't. Apps on my phone make it more clear that the follow didn't "stick".

It is a REALLY good idea to write an introductory post about yourself and pin it to your profile. Pinned posts appear at the top of your profile page, and they also have a special ability to federate much more widely than ordinary posts.

It's very quick and easy to do:

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

They are all improving the social web, which benefits all of humanity, even if we disagree with their principles!

@BeAware @thomasjwebb It's like saying someone can control the Internet. Fun fact: ActivityPub (the protocol that drives Mastodon and other Fediverse apps) is an official W3C recommended standard and W3C is lead by (drumroll) who other than the creator of the World Wide Web itself, sir Tim Berners-Lee. This is why I trust more to truly user driven social web Fediverse rather than corporate driven Bluesky.

#X のアカウント削除したことを後悔する唯一瞬間はこういう時に「なんか値上げしたらしーじゃん？こっちは #Mastodon #Fediverse で楽しくやってるけど、X のみんな調子どう？」みたいな煽りポストを投下できないこと…って一瞬思ったけど、よく考えるとそんな煽りポストしたところで自分も誰も幸せにならないし、#X にいたい人はそこにいたくてお金払ってるわけだし、自分も居心地のいい場所を見つけられたので、後悔することはなかった。良かった。

Tag 6 im #Fediverse läuft. Ich habe gestern mit Wordpress gespielt und mir eine Instanz unter Digitalstaat.de aufgesetzt. Im Grunde finde ich es schön, meine Beiträge dort auch absetzen zu können, so dass sie öffentlich für jeden über das Web zugänglich sind.

Was mir extrem gut gefällt ist Mastodon mit 3.000 Zeichen. Ich bin eben sehr geprägt durch Linkedin und finde es super, meine Beiträge in beide Netzwerke stellen zu können.

Habe mir auch Testaccounts für X, Threads und Bluesky angelegt. Nach meinen 6 Tagen mit Mastodon muss ich sagen: Ich finde es hier am inzwischen am schönsten, jetzt rein auf die Technik bezogen. Es ist zwar eine steile Lernkurve, aber wenn man mal drin ist, hat man viele Freiheiten.

Vermutlich werde ich jetzt erstmal mit Wordpress, Linkedin und Mastodon weitermachen und dort jeweils dieselben Beiträge verwenden.

Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage, wie wir mehr #Amtfluencer auf #Mastodon bekommen.

It protects small tech. Big Tech can afford the lawyers to defend itself in court. Your friendly admin furry cannot.

For most users on the Fediverse —

Not only are you publishing that post on your host's website, but —

YOU ARE PUSHING that post to people and machines (including strangers) across the Fediverse.

If you do not want that to happen, then — don't press that button.

Instead, consider a private message, or using something such as Signal.

:boosts_ok: PSA about how you can help marginalised folks on fedi, politics

tldr: Intentionally mis-spelling words (including names) that involve politics actively harms the most vulnerable in our society. You can help by simply including and properly spelling important words and names. Bonus points for using CWs :eevee_joy:
------------------

Let's establish a few things :zerotwo_learn:
・We're on fedi (including Mastodon), so there is no shady algorithm hiding your posts from people because you said a word it didn't like.
・Vulnerable minorities have limited spoons on account of *gestures broadly at the world*.
・Vulnerable minorities use word filters on fedi to make it so we don't have to see "you're currently being genocided, have fun~ :panda_yay: " 30 times a day.
・Mis-spelling words (especially the names of famous figures) or omitting them altogether allows your post to sneak past those filters.

With that all laid out, you can see why mis-spelling or omitting important words related to your post can actively aid fascists in their oppression of minorities by robbing us of what precious few spoons we have. Making sure to include relevant words and spell them correctly is an easy way to actively resist the fascists and help marginalised people in your every day life :espeon_love:

Do you filter your timeline on Mastodon? Do you want a filter to detect variations of a word, for example both "apple" and "apples"?

To do this, UN-tick the box marked "whole word". When the box is un-ticked, the filter will look for all words that contain that word within them.

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

Images of war zones, content about violence or abuse, or mental health issues…
I’ve been seeing more and more people posting disturbing or sensitive contents without a content warning (CW).
These can be distressing or even triggering for some people, so a CW helps make them safer to share.

Please don’t forget to use a CW, and be mindful when reposting others’ content too!

In den letzten Monaten haben viele Menschen gefordert, die EU sollte doch mal bitte offene Alternativen zu amerikanischen Social-Media-Diensten fördern. Die Sache ist nur: Das tut sie schon lange. ActivityPub, Mastodon und PeerTube haben alle von einem EU-Förderprogramm profitiert. Für @netzpolitik_feed haben wir Michiel Leenaars interviewt, der das EU-Geld aus diesem Programm verteilt.

What are some good examples of individuals or people escaping to the Fediverse (including Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, Lemmy, etc) or some other decentralized social-media (DeSo) platform — from some other social-media platform?

Perhaps because of a "bad" situation or "bad" conditions on their previous social-media platform?

I understand the feeling. In the past I was always like: Oh no, so I have to install an app for this? Cuz I knew it means I have to inform myself and deep dive into the app settings and my DNS filters to hedge my privacy as good as possible.

With FOSS and Fediverse it’s like: Wow, this works so well, let’s check all its potential and tell everybody about it 🤩. And it works FOR me, not AGAINST me 🥰.

So is it just me or are #Mastodon developers completely overdoing their role in controlling content in the #Fediverse?

Making quote posts opt-in basically means that it will be hardly ever used, so why even bother investing all the time to develop it in the first place?

The role of developers imho is to provide the tool, not to shape the network according to their wishes, no? If the feature is actually abused, you can give the responsible moderators the tools to limit this abuse like in every other case. There are also no muted words by default or something like that.
When I sell a radio, I don't just provide the stations I like. Otherwise people will just get another device. Unfortunately, many people do not understand that Mastodon is just one radio manufacturer in the Fediverse and therefore do not join the entire network.

@fellmoon@bsd.network

So #fediverse / #mastodon / #activitypub people, what do we have by now that is a usable alternative to facebooks group- & event feature?

I have a number of friends who work in event-related contexts, play in bands, do art exhibitions etc. most of them are still at metas platforms for basically 1-2 reasons. Twatter doesn't really matter at all to them because no feature keeps them there.

The Main reason for most of them to stay with meta is to promote their events & the easiness to invite people to an event or self-subscribe.

The other reasons are groups/channels where people have sub-discussion threads, that "feel a little bit isolated from the rest of the platform".
I'm not 100% convinced, that this can/can't be substituted by something like "only display this toot to people following the #hashtag" or something similar.

Reason number three is network effect at the end of the day, which is not really technically addressable from "our side" imho. Being able to show easy to use alternatives should be doable tho.

➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period

If you activate this, your posts that are older than a certain number of weeks, months or years are automatically deleted by your server.

People are trying to argue with me that Mastodon’s Home feed does not use an algorithm. Not only is this not true, it’s impossible. So let’s look at the definition of what an algorithm is:

A finite set of unambiguous instructions that, given some set of initial conditions, can be performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a certain goal and that has a recognizable set of end conditions.

Let’s break this down and answer questions.

Does the Home feed operate on a finite set of unambiguous instructions? Yes.
Is there a set of initial conditions? Yes.
Is it performed in a prescribed sequence? Yes.
Does it achieve a certain goal? Yes.
Is there a recognizable set of end conditions? Yes.

Its purpose is for you to receive messages that someone sends sorted by a reverse chronological sequence to be readable by the recipient with the activity appearing in a stream* (e.g., “Home feed”).

So, in fact, #Mastodon does have an algorithm. Numerous algorithms, actually. It is misinformation to state otherwise.

@unattributed@gotosocial.social · Reply to Chris Trottier's post

@atomicpoet No, I was quite purposeful in stating "algorithm".

The reason is becuase, by definition, an algorithm is a series of steps taken to solve a problem. But in this case the underlying "problem" that is being solved is human readability, which is only a formatting issue.

The "algorithm" is being dictated by the stream of incoming messages - it is driven by the data, and not by the purposeful solution of a problem. All the algorith does is take a message, make it human readable, and insert it into queues for a human to view.

This is rather unlike the example of Lemmy, where not only is there human readbility, but there is structure and organization in order to preserve scoring of posts, and relationships to a main post.

Or, worse, the algorithm used in the commercial platforms where it is manipulating which content is being presented to sovled the problem of user engagement.

Proton is leaving because Proton cannot control the flow of information here on the Fediverse.

Most corporations mimic social algorithms to their advantage, particularly, to suppress news and information that may not paint them in a good light. Proton cannot do that on the Fediverse.

When Proton rebranded a few years ago, which caused some people to lose their accounts with no refund, they silenced any complaints on both Facebook and Reddit. I know, because I was one of those people. Most of you were happy to have the new upgraded accounts, but if you had the original family plan, which they discontinued (only to start selling a new family plan months later), you were not a happy person to find out you lost your service.

Additionally, it has been brought to people's attention that Proton now falls under Us-jurisdiction. Proton would like to argue that is only for Proton Wallet, but our legal system does not allow a company to pick and choose. Plus, even if they could (you cannot), it means they could still be pressured and influence by US Politics and US Laws now. This was another little fact, Proton wanted to suppress, but cannot because the Fediverse is organic, and not centralized.

Big question, Why ATProtocol from #BlueSkySocial #PBC’s mouth instead of Mastodon and ActivityPub?:

“Why not use ActivityPub? #ActivityPub is a federated social networking technology popularized by #Mastodon.

Account #portability is a major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol. We consider portability to be crucial because it protects #users from sudden bans, server shutdowns, and policy disagreements. Our #solution for portability requires both signed data repositories and #DIDs, neither of which are easy to retrofit into ActivityPub. The migration #tools for ActivityPub are comparatively limited; they require the original server to provide a redirect and cannot migrate the user's previous data.

Another major reason is #scalability. #ActivityPub depends heavily on delivering messages between a wide network of small-to-medium sized nodes, which can cause individual #nodes to be flooded with traffic and generally struggles to provide global views of #activity.”

@unattributed Also, the notion that #Mastodon isn’t making a choice on about how to categorize and organize the content being displayed is complete and utter bullshit.

Of course it is.

A reverse chrome timeline is a choice. Mastodon could, of course, choose to display content differently but it chooses not to.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org

Every single time a post of mine goes viral, there’s a reply guy (or girl) who condescendingly explains the #Fediverse to me. Usually, I laugh it off.

But this person is just plain wrong.

There is an algorithm imposed on us. Specifically, reverse chron. And yes, reverse chron *is* an algorithm—even though you don’t think of it as an algorithm, it totally is.

We don’t choose reverse chron. It is simply the default, and we can’t choose another algorithm. You might like reverse chron—fine, so do I. But an imposition is an imposition even if you enjoy like it.

But also, all this ignores that other platforms—besides #Mastodon—exist on the #Fediverse. For example, the default algorithm on #Lemmy is *not* reverse chron.

Let’s stop spreading misinformation that “no algorithms” exists on the Fediverse.

Odd. This book on Mastodon rhymes a lot more than I expected. It also has no mention of the Fediverse, ActivityPub or social-media.

My kids seem to really like the book, though.

I use @phanpy to browse #mastodon. But links to toots and accounts from elsewhere typically point to mastodon's original UI. I have written the #bookmarklet https://gist.github.com/hcschuetz/f712949563758291d0f42861643a6d82 which takes me from there to the corresponding view on https://phanpy.social.

Because there's no #quoteposts feature on #Mastodon, I will sometimes reply to others' toots with quotes from a link they posted about, or make a statement that links to their original post. I'm not directly replying to them specifically, but want to amplify their post/toot with additional msging beyond just boosting.

I opened a Bluesky account yesterday, and I don't think I've ever been repelled by a platform quite so quickly. The people I interacted with are fine, but the interface and experience are just so... *twitter.* After acclimating to Mastodon, there's just no going back for me. Thank you all for contributing to this amazing platform/community. 💜

Hey, I'm back on #Mastodon after a few months spent on #Bluesky.

I want to propose a local instance (which was rebuilt from scratch again, sorry!) for people living on, or nearby, the #Jura mountains. Either on the #Swiss or #French sides. With indeed a proper moderation.

After 8 years spent on Mastodon, I know the limits of the #fediverse quite well but I think it's important such spaces exist.

How do Mastodon and Threads actually interact?

Our latest paper on Fediverse sharing is out! We look at how these platforms connect, the impact of integration, and how users perceive it. Some Mastodon servers welcome Threads, while others block it—shaping the relationship between decentralized and centralized social media.

What does this mean for the future of social media? Read our findings here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.17926

Recuerda que tengo este listado en el que el único requisito es ser hablar español y ser (o haber vivido parte de tu vida) en LATAM. El objetivo es encontrar a más gente dentro de "la red de Mastodon" ©️ que hable español y que sea de Latinoamérica. Si bien es cierto que el grueso de los hispanohablantes son españoles y que esto no debería ser un problema real, lo cierto es que las diferencias horarias y culturales hacen que la integración sea más difícil.

Además, siempre es bueno tener con quien cotorrear con el meme de "Sáquenme de Latinoamérica".

It’s so bloody funny how people on both #Mastodon and #Lemmy are hostile about interacting with each other, yet often don’t realize they’re actually interacting with each other.

I mean, that literally just happened in this thread about how to use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy. 🤣

Hashtags do not replace groups.

No one moderates them. They’re easy to hijack and spam. And there’s simply no permanence to them.

Which is why, if you actually want to discuss something, it’s better to tag a group. For example, if you want to be part of an actual PC gaming community on the Fediverse, it’s better to tag @pcgaming@lemmy.ca than #pcgaming.

This needs to be common knowledge because people new to the Fediverse do not know about groups. Hell, I’d say people who have had Mastodon accounts for years still don’t know. And that’s a shame.

@atomicpoet @fediverse TBH I think a lot of people (including me) have a very sketchy idea of how the different bits of the Fediverse link together... I'm still a bit vague about how my #Mastodon and #Pixelfed accounts could work better together.

There's a lot of *assumed knowledge* about the #Fediverse ... and people don't want to ask 'stupid' questions because they don't want to 'look stupid'. There needs to be easily accessible and explicit step by step instructions *to get people started*.

Where could I find a group about #ux or #humancentredesign for example? Or #photography ?

Here’s screenshots of all four photo-based #Piefed communities I’m running.

Now if these posts look familiar, that’s because I’m posting them from #Akkoma and #Pixelfed – and they’re submitted to Piefed by tagging the relevant communities.

This is what I mean when I say that people on #Lemmy are seeing something drastically different from what you’re seeing on #Mastodon.

Will something like this help?

If someone boosts your post on the fedi it almost always means they agree with you, so much that they want others to see your post.

To me that’s a possible indication of someone whom I want to follow as they most likely align with my ideas/values/ethics

So I recently adopted an algorithm for following folks

Boost = Follow

Additionally I also started actively organizing my lists, so accounts are categorized.

How well do MP4s and other animation formats work on the various Fediverse front-end client applications — including, of course, the Mastodon web-based interface?

(Both the front-end and back-end could affect it.)

Is there a way to make them repeat playing over and over and over again?

This is a test from the Mastodon web-based front-end client with an attached MP4.

An update on the short-form documentary series I am working on with @Soel79 and @ShinComics

When I was interviewing Shin —

I asked Shin to turn Eugen Rochko ( @Gargron ) into a Super Hero, as a test 🙂

(There are super hero like characters in this series.)

This (attached) is her rough sketch of @Gargron as a Super Hero.

I think she (Shin) is really good at poses. (Which is a skill that not all illustrators have.)

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io · Reply to Emelia 👸🏻's post

The other root cause of our outage last night was a misconfiguration in how we handled requests through to mastodon-web (rails), which resulted in rack_attack believe all requests were coming from 127.0.0.1, instead of their actual IP address.

Essentially our infrastructure looks like this

| CDN | web server
-> nginx —> nginx —> mastodon-web (rails/puma)

We were correctly setting X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Proto headers on nginx at CDN edge, however when the request went through nginx on the web servers, these headers weren't passed through correctly all the time.

We've since deployed changes to both our nginx configuration and our mastodon configuration (TRUSTED_PROXY_IP’s) to ensure that requests are correctly identified with the requestor's IP address, and rate limited accordingly.

This should reduce the rate of “Rate Limit Exceeded" errors some people may have been seeing.

Most folks running mastodon are only using a single nginx server in the request pipeline, so this is a very "us" problem, as we run our own CDN powered by nginx.

Heads up Mastodon operators: libvips 8.16.0 doesn't work with ruby-vips 2.2.2, which is currently used by Mastodon.

*** watch out if your system automatically updates libvips to 8.16.0 ***

This was one of the root causes of our media processing outage last night. Essentially when we were trying to process media, the conversion between different file sizes and metadata stripping was erroring out do to an incompatibility between ruby-vips 2.2.2 and libvips 8.16.0, resulting in the error:

```
Error while optimizing <name>: VipsForeignLoad: "/tmp/<name>.<ext>“ is not a known file format
```

This occurred for jpg, webp, and several other file formats, despite `vips -l foreign` showing everything setup correctly.

ruby-vips 2.2.3 is known to fix the issue, and will be used in mastodon 4.3.4 when it is released. Until then either don't update libvips or switch MASTODON_USE_LIBVIPS to false until mastodon 4.3.4 (unless you're comfortable modifying the Gemfile to use the newer ruby-vips version)

What we still have absolutely no explanation for though is that libvips 8.16.0 was installed on hachyderm systems on January 20th 2025, but we only started seeing issues yesterday after running regular system updates wherein libvips was not touched.

Ruby and gems were reinstalled yesterday due to an update of libicu, but libicu was also updated on Jan 20th 2025 so we did the same reinstall steps on that date too.

We didn't receive any error reports from people using hachyderm of not being able to upload media or media failing to load for them.

Just saw a post on how #nostr reveals your blocklist to everyone. Ppl champion that as some sort of feature to be desired and tbh I find the idea utterly gross.

Ppl block for safety, for security, for personal reasons. Demanding that their choices of who to interact with be made the subject of public review and comment seems super privileged and gross.

I am against this, utterly.

If someone paints their house blue and you don't like it, it's fine that's your right.

You can even pin a post to your own house expressing clearly that you don't like blue houses if you wish.

But don't post a sign saying you don't like blue houses on someone else's blue house. They clearly like it and it's just rude and unempathetic.

This is also valid for Mastodon posts.

For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.

I wanted to see the current status of group actor support in #Mastodon.

This feature has been requested all the way back in 2016. It’s a feature request that is so old, it’s the 139th ticket. After it was made, @gargron stated shortly after:

I made a decision not to implement groups. They offer little benefit over a cost of added complexity, and the bangtag syntax personally irks me too.

A year later, he re-opened the feature request and said:

Reopening, but not high priority.

No further update since then. Nearly a decade after this feature had been requested, group support has not been added and it’s still not a high priority.

Now the intent of this post isn’t to wag my finger at Mastodon and say, “How dare they!” It’s clear that Mastodon is in a transitional state right now, and their focus is on other things – like quote posts and search.

But it is to say that the development of this feature is so completely out of Mastodon’s control that it now represents an opportunity loss for the platform. Because the truth is – whether or not Mastodon supports group actors – many Mastodon users are using it anyway even though this causes quite a few UI/UX problems along the way. Namely, the common Mastodon user cannot differentiate between a single user account and a group actor.

So now we have two groups of Mastodon users: those who want to make use of services like #Lemmy, #Piefed, #NodeBB, and those who are completely unaware of those services and ask, “Why the hell is Mastodon acting like this when I try to interact with that account?”

More to the point, group actors should be embraced because not only is this a valuable feature, but they’re also critical for community safety. No one can moderate a hashtag, but they can certainly moderate a Lemmy community.

Like I said, though, development of Mastodon is ongoing – whether Mastodon participates or not. And that specific element of the #Fediverse continues to grow, despite the fact that the most used Fediverse service (sans Threads) regards it as “low priority”. As long as Reddit and Facebook Groups users seek out an open, federated alternative, there will be demand for group actors.

Why am I saying all this? Because this is my plea for better interoperability. It is certainly within Mastodon’s right to be picky about what features they implement. However, the Fediverse would be plainly better if Mastodon finally supported this important ActivityPub standard.

Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be.

Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀

For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.

@EmpeRohr@mastodon.world schwierige Entscheidung
Ich sag mal so, wäre ich nicht bei @Carlos als Gast untergekommen, hätte ich jetzt wohl eine eigene Instanz.

Ich habe mir da wirklich 14 Tage nur auf einer Instanz angetan, beim testen, damit ich ein richtiges Arbeitsgefühl für komme.

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

Friendica wäre für mich auch eien Option, aber da bräuchte ich ein anderes Thema/Maske, so mag ich es eher nicht

2/ I'm doing this work on three platforms — #Mastodon, the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp), and a wiki at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (@bkc).

On Mastodon, I have two large and growing threads on these topics:

* One thread focuses on the actions of the Trump admin and pushback against them.
https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/113874200243958520

* The other thread focuses on outside efforts to capture and preserve government science data and web sites that the admin has taken down or might take down.
https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/113929148334504422

Although I have a @bsky.brid.gy bridge account to #Bluesky, I'm sorry to say that it only forwards new Masto posts, not the replies that make up a thread. So even with the bridge, Bluesky users can't easily follow these threads.

So I haven't been on BlueSky or Mastodon as much because I don't know how to get traction there as well?

Is it wrong to want to use the same tricks here on Facebook (like hearting and commenting on posts to raise help raise other indie comic posts) on BlueSky and Mastodon?

Does that go agains the design focus for those platforms? And if so then how to I reach more of an audience on there. I just don't have the bandwidth to use it like old social media

I'm checking out @openvibe to cross post #Mastodon and #Bluesky. I prefer Mastodon but it appears the friends I moved over with don't. A lot of them landed on # threads which I won't do. So both my Bluesky and Mastodon feeds are pretty quiet. Anyone else have a preferred multi socials app?

@pink@gotosocial.social

Let's be honest, there is no #search feature in #fediverse (#mastodon)...

The absence of a full-text search feature in Mastodon and the broader Fediverse is a multifaceted issue with both intentional design choices and practical challenges.

New users may struggle to find relevant content or communities, hindering engagement and adoption. This contrasts sharply with centralized platforms like Twitter, where search drives content virality.

So Users have to manually tag posts (#) for discoverability, which can feel burdensome but fosters organized, topic-focused discussions.

My thoughts...

Opt-In Search???

Instances could allow users to index their content for cross-server discovery, respecting decentralization while improving usability...

Decentralized indexing protocol???

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.

We could have had so that:

'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.

'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.

And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

With other conceptions, this lack of choice — this lack of setting a value — isn't as muddled.

With optional-types (which are also called "option-types" and "maybe-types") when something isn't assigned a value it is represented as 'nothing' / 'none'.

In relation-databases, this is represented as 'null'.

As it is right now, the 'discoverable' flag does not communicate whether the user actually made a 'true' or 'false' choice.

If it is 'true' we know they made a choice.

But if it is 'false' it either means the user chose 'false' or the user didn't make a choice. BUT WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.

We could have had so that:

'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.

'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.

And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

@reiver@mastodon.social · Reply to @reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman:'s post

There are a HUGE number of people who (unknown to them) have their 'discoverable' flags set to 'false' who —

№2:

Do NOT know that they have a 'discoverable' flag —

And do NOT know that their 'discoverable' flag was automagically set to 'false' —

And do not understand the consequence of having their 'discoverable' flag set to false.

Anybody know if they plan on bringing back the Digital Ocean One-Click droplet for Mastodon? 🤔

As I understand it, it's controlled by the Mastodon team. It disappeared in the past month or two and I'm curious if it's gonna get re-added at some point.

Hello #mastodon I am Tsundemon. I decided to try this app out because I have been searching for alternatives of #twitter because of how horrendous and full blown nazism, fascism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism and more that has spread across the site. So I turned to #bluesky which is okay, and here I am on Mastodon as well to check how it fares in comparison between bluesky and here. Also if anyone have alternatives #meta sites like #facebook , #instagram and #messenger please do help out. Thx 😃

Mastodon führt Zitat-Funktion ein.

Zitat: «Das neue Feature wird mehrere Sicherheitsmechanismen enthalten: Nutzer können selbst bestimmen, ob ihre Beiträge zitiert werden dürfen. Sie werden benachrichtigt, wenn jemand sie zitiert, und können ihr Original jederzeit aus dem zitierten Kontext entfernen.»

Dass man festlegen kann, ob seine Beiträge zitiert werden dürfen oder nicht, finde ich okay, auch dass man darüber benachrichtigt wird. Aber das nachträgliche Entfernen halte ich für falsch.

Ich befürchte, dann hat man bald nicht mehr nur aus dem Zusammenhang gerissene Threads, sondern auch #Zitate, die sich im Rahmen von Quote Posts auf nicht mehr vorhandene Beiträge beziehen, da sie vom Ersteller nachträglich aus dem zitierten Kontext entfernt wurden.

Das, was da bei #Mastodon geplant wird, habe ich bei anderen Fedi-Diensten, die das Zitieren von Beiträgen schon lange unterstützen, bislang nicht gesehen. Ob ich das jetzt gut finde, kann ich gar nicht sagen.

As #mastodon / #fediverse grows, how do we make sure that we're not spreading dis-/mis-information #onHere?

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

Is anyone doing any work in that sense? And I don't mean moderation. I'd be thinking of what other social networks call "fact checking".

Adding meaningful alt-text is not only important for everyone using a screenreader and an essential #inclusion and #accessibility requirement. Alt-text is also searchable and used by filters. People who prefer to filter certain people and topics for mental health and other reasons can't filter memes or images without it. Please use alt-text and cw generously 🙏

Added bonus: with added alt-text you can find images in your own posts with "from:me" and people are more likely to boost your posts.

Here's the thing about #QuotePosts - it doesn't matter what #Mastodon does, how much they "thought about" it, how "smart" they were with making an "abuse-proof" system, because client apps already do them, and your client app IS your Mastodon experience.

The most important thing a client app can do, with respect to quote posts, is ignore the official guidelines, and keep doing things the way they were doing things.

Roni Laukkarinen

@rolle@mementomori.social

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.

Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

@liaizon Yep!

#DhaagaApp is very a unique fedi client, in that, it focused on building on top of protocols, rather than just implementing a front-end for them.

Some of these:

- bookmark collections
- better feed/pin management
- saving posts offline
- multi-protocol support
- Organizing notification by tabs

Are UX issues raised by the community over the years.

While certain #mastodon/#misskey forks do solve these server-side, the Dhaaga project is going with an alternative approach.

#DhaagaUpdates v0.15.0 will be out tonight 🎉

And #bluesky does not even have bookmarks yet!

Also, unlike #misskey, there is no way to organise them into folders, for example.

With this update, #DhaagaApp will let you create bookmarks and organise them into collections for ANY #fediverse software.

#Mastodon is being more blatant—it will add quote posts.

This will piss some people off but frankly, this has been in the works for years.

To those who believe quote posts are abusive, there is no data whatsoever that shows any correlation between quote posts and abuse.

And actually, platforms like #Misskey, #Akkoma, and #Friendica have had that feature for years, and hardly anyone using those platforms has ever complained.

In fact, I use quote posts every day. No one’s complained to me about my use of quote posts.

Nevertheless, Mastodon is doing the right thing—and it takes serious courage to tell the Fedi Gatekeepers that this will happen. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. But it’s a change that needed to happen.

Lauren Weinstein

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org · Reply to Mastodon Engineering's post

@MastodonEngineering Several issues of concern immediately arise related to your announced plans for quotable posts, at least one of which could trigger misinformation and related concerns.

First, unless I missed it, I did not see discussion of whether or not a quoted post could be edited after it was quoted. Obviously, the ability to do so could result in changes that completely altered the meaning of the quoting post that included the quoted post, whether unintentionally or intentionally.

While the inclusion of an "Edited" label on the quoted post would give some warning, the ability to alter the content of a quoted post at will still puts quoting posts at notable risk of manipulation.

Similarly, the ability to "at will" delete a quoted post at any time puts any quoting posts that included that quoted post (and subsequent replies/discussions) at risk of being completely marginalized, again whether that is the intended effect or not.

Finally, since any post can be ersatz "quoted" via screenshots, it is unclear what the purpose of a "do not quote" flag on a post will actually mean, other than adding some friction to the process of someone who intended to quote that post one way or another. In this sense, the flag gives the false impression that a post cannot be quoted, when in fact screenshot quoting would of course still be possible. Especially for new users, this could be significantly misleading. It could also be argued that the ability to edit and/or delete quoted posts may trigger a surge in screenshot-based quoting to avoid these uncertainties.

I have long felt that a native quoting function would be a significant asset to #Mastodon, but experiences with other social media platforms suggest that you may be repeating some of the same design errors that caused significant problems for those other platforms and their users -- and in some cases still do so.

Thanks for listening. Best, -L

When quote-posts become baked into #Mastodon and available via the API, I hope clients stop fetching quoted posts on their own.

Part of Mastodon's implementation will be the ability for people to prevent quote-posting of their content, and to "withdraw" their posts from anywhere they were quoted.

"Faking" quote-posts by merely fetching the post object from within the client will not respect these preferences and intentions of the quoted user.

If you're writing website links on Mastodon either in posts or on profiles, remember to include https:// at the beginning. This makes the link clickable for people reading your post or profile.

(Also, if you're a techy person, you might like to know that many less common kinds of link can also be made clickable on Mastodon including gemini://, dat://, dweb://, gopher://, ipfs:// and ssb:// )

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

Context; I am writing a post about Mastodon and Bluesky and wouldn’t like to be imprecise.

I read in a blog that ActivityPub actually allows moving data of users and content from one server to another and that it is the Mastodon development of ActivityPub which puts the problem of portability.

@boothy443@mastodon.world

Ok, so, I can’t change the access settings, it’s locked into private access, which is ok I suppose, but.. I’m only able to pull photos out once. The second time I can access the album but it hangs on adding them to posts. And then subsequently it just fails to access the album. It seems to reset if I restart, but just does the same thing again. And yes I did uninstall and reinstall. So… #mastodon #mastodonhelp

One fact about #Mastodon. You all are so generous!

Every year I raise money for my local shelter for people fleeing gender based violence.

In 2022 and 2023 you helped raise $1000. Twitter folks never donated like this!

Many of you have already helped! ❤️ Thank you ❤️

I am only $125 away from my $1500 goal!

Please help me reach my goal before the deadline on the 22nd!: https://walk.w-ith.me/chris

If you can’t donate, please boost this post.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #pleaseBoost #genderviolence #domesticviolence

A screenshot of the coldest night fundraising screen shows my name and the amount raised of $1375 with a goal of $1500 The main text says: It's cold out there. And this February, I'm going to do something about it. Together with thousands of Canadians across the country, I'll be walking and fundraising to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in my community. Please, give generously by clicking the "Donate Now" button above. Thanks!

One #Mastodon / #Fediverse tip that I need to follow more often is:

Check out the profiles of people who boost your posts. Consider following them.

If someone is willing to boost what you said, there's a halfway-decent chance you agree on at least one issue and may end up being good mutual follows.

Great update here on the goings-on in the technical world of #Mastodon. Including Quote Posts being officially supported for viewing in the web interface in v4.4 and full authoring/creation of Quote posts for v4.5.

Also, for #selfhost folks and others running an instance, v4.1.x will be removed from the official support list and stop receiving updates in April, presumably in preparation for the release of v4.4.

Discovering the #fediverse gives me the same feelings #linux did years ago. The endless choice, excitement of discovery, clash of philosophies and a community.

I spent years #distrohopping from #ubuntu , #arch , #voidlinux , #nixos etc and then back to arch. Also spent a long time switching desktop environments and window managers like i3.

I started on #lemmy and #mastodon . What do I try next? #selfhost an #activitypub server? Which one?

I wanted to try out Pixelfed, and when signing up used the "sign in with Mastodon" option, thinking maybe it would link my accounts. But it doesn't appear to have done that - posts I do on one do not appear on the other. Did I miss something when signing in to Pixelfed? Anyone else experience this and find a fix? [All that aside, Pixelfed is really nice for pictures. Looks kind of like Insta, but I like that on the web the pics show up quite large]. #pixelfed #mastodon

This time last year, New Social looked very different to what it does now.

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

Now, let's push a few more boundaries. What do you say? 😈

I need a mastodon #Fediverse GUI extension that allows you to press on a post/toot and it proposes what to add to which of your filters so that similar things are filtered out of the #timeline in future. #mastodon #filters

#Mastodon plans to add the display of quote posts with Mastodon 4.4, and then to support authoring with Mastodon 4.5.

I hope the dev team has the courage to follow through with this plan because, amongst some Mastodon users (but not most), this will be the worst thing ever—despite Mastodon clients supporting quote posts, and software like Akkoma, Sharkey, and Friendica doing the same.

Ultimately, quote posts are a must. More people want them than don’t.

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/trunk-tidbits-january-2025/

ALT text details

The team also made significant progress on the specification for Quote Posts. It needs a few minor changes, but we expect to publish it for comment in February, and start implementation right away. The current plan is to publish Mastodon 4.4 with support for displaying Quote Posts, and then add authoring in Mastodon 4.5.

Nice!

#AlgorithmicFeed #Algorithm #Mastodon

Catch-up is the second item in Phanpy's main menu.

ALT text details

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): Date / Replies / Likes / Boosts / Density [= post length?] 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.)

I have looked everywhere, but I can't find this post from 11 February! It isn't showing up in my Sent timeline. So if it is on my profile, and/or if you have seen it, I apologise.

I am not closing my account here, but I need to try something other than Friendica, due to accessibility issues. I am considering Akkoma, but am open to other networks if they are compatible with Mastodon.

I am seeking an instance with the following specifications.

Accessible interface (I use a screen reader called NVDA). If it uses Semantic html and isn't cluttered, that's a great start. I would prefer it to be compatible with Mastodon so that I could also use TweeseCake as a client. I need to easily be able to access things such as notifications, follow requests, my own posts, to be able to search for tags, people, my posts etc.

Posting limit of 5,000 characters or more (more preferred.

Ability to pin, unpin, edit, and delete posts.

Ability to filter content, so that I don't see certain words or phrases. (This doesn't work with TweeseCake, so it's not as important as the rest, unless the site is so accessible that I can use it often.)

Ability to select between seeing all posts of someone or only some, and to choose whether to let someone follow me without my seeing his posts or to follow him completely. (Friend versus Subscriber on Friendica).

Extensive profile with keywords. (Keywords may be a Friendica feature, so can be skipped.)

Most people write in English and are not politically, technologically, or gaming obsessed. No radicals of any pursuasion. (the English bit is just to help me find friends on my particular instance.)

Free speech (nothing illegal or homophobic). I personally avoid obscenities.)

If such an instance exists, please tell me. I found https://akkoma.fediverse.observer/list[7] but that's just a list with no real information about each instance. I would have to go through over 400 of them, choose the ones from the UK, Canada, and America (they're the most likely to have English instances), then go through those to see if they meet my requirements, but that's ridiculous.

I am not a programmer, so please don't suggest I start my own instance or join a network that is not set up with a webpage and/or to accept a client, as I know nothing about these things other than that they run on Linux and I'm a Windows user. I just want something that works. Also, if there are any demonstration instances, please let me know. I heard of one where accounts only lasted five days, but it seems to be gone.

A new version of Roundcube Photos has been released. New in 1.5.6 is the feature to share images with Mastodon, including multiple images. The manual generation of tokens has been removed, as the plugin now logs on to a Mastodon or Pixelfed instance as an autonomous app. The Timeline view and various internal improvements and bug fixes are also new. You can find the new version, as usual, on https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Pictures

Thanks to them, you have a vibrant ecosystem of 3rd party apps that have the same access and rate limits as the official app.

I'm working on setting up a #mastodon instance and the most difficult part of it may be setting up a mail server. My last attempt ended in failure so this is basically my kryptonite. My question for #MastodonAdmins is: is it necessary to do that for a single-user instance or can I skate by without one, at least for the short term until I gather up the courage to try a second go at this?

@eblu@hachyderm.io

Here's something that I previously discussed at length on my main account but wanted feedback on from the wider #fediverse: I'm looking into how to improve limiting/blocking other instances and came up with this idea to let users override instance limits as well as make them a bit more visible.

As it stands right now, #Mastodon treats limited instances as completely hidden—you won't see any posts or users from them whatsoever unless you directly look for them on purpose. This might be fine in most cases, but when more popular instances like mastodon.social get limited for reasons as benign as "currently dealing with spam issues," it creates a lot of friction as a good chunk of the fediverse simply goes missing to the average user.

What I'm looking into is both hiding posts from limited instances under a specialized content warning instead, and providing a panel somewhere to override said instance limits. I've attached a mockup that shows this off.

I don't believe that this will work with blocked/"defederated" instances, nor do I think it's a good idea, but I think it's an important step to take towards user friendliness, which the fediverse desperately needs as of right now.

Let me know if you have any questions, this is what this post is all about!

¿Desea contribuir con los costos de Mastodon.CR y otros proyectos del Fediverso costarricense?

Hágalo en https://www.impulsait.com/producto/patrocinio-mastodoncr-y-proyectos-del-fediverso-tico/

He creado esa página con una explicación de cómo funciona la gobernanza y operación de #MastodonCR, los costos aproximados mensuales con un desglose de servidores y enlaces de pago, cuentas bancarias, SINPE móvil, etc.

Operar una red social no es gratis. Hacerlo respetando los derechos de las personas usuarias sin publicidad tiene costos económicos y de esfuerzo humano importantes. Por más de 2 años los costos ha sido cubiertos por mí y mi empresa @impulsait como un compromiso de aportar positivamente a la sociedad, mi plan es seguir ofreciendo el patrocinio humano, tecnológico, legal, financiero y fiscal por muy largo plazo, de forma transparente y con respeto a la privacidad y seguridad de las personas usuarias.

¿Qué cambia ahora? Que las personas usuarias podrán tener la oportunidad de participar económicamente del proyecto y compartir un pedacito de la carga financiera si está dentro de sus posibilidades.

Dicen que lo perfecto es enemigo de lo bueno. El uso de mi empresa es la mejor forma he logrado dilucidar para operar esta comunidad. He leído muchísimas experiencias de comunidades del Fediverso que terminan cerrando por dificultades económicas y desgaste humano, eso no nos puede pasar a nosotros. Estoy abierto a construir junto con la comunidad mecanismos para que construyamos un espacio seguro, colaborativo y sostenible en el largo plazo.

Tengo mucho orgullo de lo que hemos logrado hasta ahora y me da ilusión lo que está por venir.

Vamos un paso a la vez en este camino imperfecto pero que lo construimos juntos.

Ich weiß aber noch nicht so richtig wie ich die beiden #fediverse Accounts #coexistieren lassen soll.

Ich will die Bilder und Videos, die ich über Pixelfed poste über meinen #Mastodon Account auf Freiburg.Social auch ausgeben.

Wie macht man das am Besten? Gibt es da eine #bestpractices?

Mein Plan war erst mal meine Pixelfed-Postings zu #Boosten. #Crossposting will ich eigentlich vermeiden.

And they say, #Mastodon or the #Fediverse is too small, your content can't go viral:

Out of curiosity, I'm reading books about social media from 2023-2025. It seems that Finnish book authors haven't done their research properly. The arguments often boil down to: "We have no choice but to use corporate services that spy on us" or "There is no alternative to Google, Amazon, and other big tech companies."

Since when do we not have a choice? Who actually forces you to use Google or Facebook? There is always a choice. Always did. Yes, it means leaving your dopamine and your acquaintances behind, but it's worth it.

This technologist in a certain social media book of his mentions decentralization only once, and even then, he focuses solely on blockchain and Web 3.0 - in his world, an idealistic vision that may never materialize.

It's funny that the problems of today's corporate Internet are directly in your face and clearly people are seeing them, but they close their eyes when it's time to do something.

So, I guess we just can't use social media at all then? If only there were some platform we could use...?

Sigh.

Any ideas why that is? Will posts between the instances eventually federate now that we are connected? Thank you!

One of the nicest things about individual Mastodon servers is they have custom emoji :blobcatheart: These emoji are visible to other servers so everyone can see them, but only people on a particular server can post them.

You can access custom emoji by clicking the 🙂 smiley button within the app or web interface. (On mobile apps, the non-custom emoji are accessed by clicking the other smiley button on your phone's keyboard.)

With the latest update to #Mastodon's web app, we show you a little reminder when you're about to post a picture without adding alt text. Alt text is crucial for accessibility, but has other perks too, such as making it much easier to search for your post—or filter it. Of course, the reminder can be simply toggled off in preferences.

ALT text details

A screenshot of the Mastodon web app, showing a modal dialog titled "Add alt text?". It reads: "Your post contains media without alt text. Adding descriptions helps make your content accessible to more people." The buttons below are "Cancel", "Post anyway" and "Add alt text".

... I am not having fun on Social Media much anymore.

Meta platforms are good for the occasional image that is out there, Instagram for the Bikini Models, and little else.

I used to admin forums and such for small niche communities and frankly I want back to that.

#Mastodon was the first try for me into the Fediverse. I have liked running my own instance and controlling it as I desire.

The PixelFed instance I finally finished seems pretty nice as a site to focus on my van project and the photography I plan to engage in as I travel.

I still haven't gotten the NodeBB forums up, but they are next on the list. Even if I don't end up with a lot of people taking part.

Sites are still on my agenda as well.

I just don't care for anything else about the big guys these days. Deleted my old Reddit and recreated an account just to comment on Fediverse and Vanlife mostly.

This is just me Ranting.

Growing better social media can be hard.

Many of the developers, moderators, and teams behind the projects that make up decentralised social media do it because they believe in what they're building. Projects which are self-funded, both in time and money then shared with you for little to no cost.

So, take some time today to say thank you to the people behind your favourite Fediverse tools and platforms. We're sure they'd appreciate it.

Just a warning for Fedi devs:

If you plan on building discovery features for Fedi, BeAware of the "Fedi Mafia" that harasses, threatens, and abuses any dev on Fedi that DARES to make an open platform a little bit more usable.🤦‍♂️

Over the past 2 months, I've seen 4 Fedi projects that were building tools to help people find accounts and servers to make it easier to find content on Fedi, get shut down because people who don't understand that Fedi is OPEN, harassed and threatened the devs until they shut their projects down.🤬

So, if you plan on building these tools, PLEASE just be prepared to block and continue building your tools.

Ignorant people should not dictate how this protocol is built. Don't let the abusers win.

Dillo 공식 계정인지 몰라도 마스토돈에도 계정이 있는 모양이다. 부스트·좋아요를 눌러주셨다. 근데 Dillo에서 마스토돈은 접속 안 되지 않나요? 🥲 Can I use Dillo for Mastodon or BlueSky?

So I've been told to use an #Introduction hashtag. Hi, I'm Lex. A Russian immigrant who lived in the US longer than I lived over there. I #code, write #music, roast #coffee, and this week started a program in #cybersecurity. Sometimes I do get paranoid that the #BigBrother might be watching me tho, so I try to limit my footprint to major places like #Google or #Meta, so I slowly move to hosting an #Ubuntu #server ( #selfhosted ). Trying out #mastodon for the second day...

Everyone with a passion for #gaming - specifically, where do you get your #videogames news?

Do you have sites you browse?
Gaming sites? Or an older 'blog' style page?

Or do you follow specific accounts here on #Mastodon or maybe #Bluesky or #Reddit instead?

I'd love to hear where you keep up to date on what's new in #videogames

Now if Mastodon only supports the display of Markdown and not the input, how am I doing this?

Simple, I’m not using Mastodon. Instead, I use #Akkoma which allows for input including little displays of code like this – which is pretty neat, right?

And this is yet another reason I provide akkomane.social as a public service for anyone on Mastodon who wants to try out Akkoma.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

Am I the only one that tends to use the same hashtags from time to time?

If not, do you type them out every single time? It's what I do and it's getting tiresome.

I've been begging Fedi app devs for a feature I call a "hashtag drawer" where individual hashtags with CamelCase can be saved in the composer for re-use.

The closest I've gotten is Ivory saving CamelCase hashtags that are "featured" on your profile.

I've been begging for this kind of feature for over a year now and still haven't found a suitable solution.

Is it REALLY not possible?🤨😩

- ...and it can also might refer to the Mastodon instance software itself. The code that has to run on a server somewhere.

I hope the documentation for Mastodon (Instance Software) is absolutely excellent because I expect the first time searching for a solution to a problem with it is hellish.

- A famous metal band from the US that has been around since 2000.

- Every kind of Fediverse instance software THAT ISN'T MASTODON, but is presumed to be so by a user on a mastodon instance because of how the UI doesn't explicitly distinguish such posts as different.

- Any of the organisations or funding structures connected to the development of the instance software that is called Mastodon

- The Mastodon instance software's merits/demerit (compared to other instance software OR apps)

- Any social app with a forgettable name/branding that uses an elephant icon

- The Fediverse (a lot of blogs and journalists have made no distinction, I expect slop peddlers treat them interchangeably)

- OR just most visible differences between the Fediverse and their expectations of Like Twitter Without The Suck that they felt they were promised

- Any one of multiple instances with #mastodon as the URL (eg .social or .ie or .art or or or), or some abbrev of mastodon as the URL (eg mstdn.social)

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!

Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.

Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

Periodically, I see people upset that #Bluesky has become the default alternative to #Twitter instead of #Mastodon. So we need to understand why that happened:

Bluesky simply has a better UI/UX for Twitter users than Mastodon because it basically is Twitter whereas Mastodon is its own thing
When the Twitter migration happened in November 2022, those who managed to get a Mastodon account found that navigating Mastodon’s unwritten social norms was difficult
Mastodon already had a pre-existing community, one that clashed with mainstream Twitter – whereas there was no community on Bluesky when Twitter users migrated there
Certain marginalized groups, such as Black folk, found a hostile environment here, and many who have stayed remain here because they believe in the tech despite the community that exists around it

I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.

That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?

Obviously, to Mastodon.

But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.

Of public interest:

At least 15,000 people fully, without limits, irrevocably, licensed their personal information, public image, name and all data that reached loops.video infrastructure... to @dansup@mastodon.social 's loops.video platform.

Had they known they're entirely losing control of everything, would they be using the platform?

How about no?

You're way overstepping with this, poisoning the entire ActivityPub ecosystem.

Let me break this down for you...

https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/

In short: if you really intend to federate, respect your users and their data.

Implementing federation while keeping these terms is a severe breach of trust, and would poison the entirety of the network in an way which will cripple ActivityPub, and undermine the very foundation of what AP stands for with regard to privacy, data ownership, and control over what we post to the network.

Hopefully that's not your intention. Is it?

#FediHire 🥳

I'm a #Programmer/#SoftwareEngineer. I'm most fluent in #Python, have some basics in #Java and #C++, but I'm also taking up new languages like #Javascript and others in my eternal journey of getting better and minimising the impostor syndrome that befalls pretty much all programmers (I feel). I'm also very experienced in #CloudNative/#DevOps technologies, and have been the one devising solutions and maintaining infrastructure in a fast-paced startup environment in my previous employment.

I'm passionate in what I do and those that know me here or IRL would know that I'm always yapping about the things I'm learning or working on - I love discussing them, and I love helping people out - esp those on the same boat as me.

This passion has led me into writing and maintaining tons of #FOSS projects like Mango: a content distribution framework based on #Django for #Mastodon and #Bluesky that powers various bots of mine like @lowyat@mastodon.social and @waktusolat@mastodon.social, Charts: a #Helm chart repository for an easy and reproducible deployment strategy for all my projects and everything else I self-host on my #homelab, and Orked: O-tomated #RKE2 distribution, a collection of scripts I wrote that are comprehensively documented to enable everyone to self-host a production-grade #Kubernetes cluster for absolutely free in their homes.

I'm based in Malaysia, but I'm open to just about any on-site, hybrid, or remote job opportunities anywhere. In the meantime though, I'm actively looking for a job in countries like #Japan and #Singapore, in a bid for a desperate lifestyle change. I've linked below my Portfolio (which you too, could self-host your own!), for those who'd wish to connect/learn more of me. Thank you ❤️

When the Twitter migration happened in November 2022, those who managed to get a Mastodon account found that navigating Mastodon’s unwritten social norms was difficult
Mastodon already had a pre-existing community, one that clashed with mainstream Twitter – whereas there was no community on Bluesky when Twitter users migrated there
Certain marginalized groups, such as Black folk, found a hostile environment here, and many who have stayed remain here because they believe in the tech despite the community that exists around it

I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.

That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?

Obviously, to Mastodon.

But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.

Are you using Mastodon on a computer? If so, you might want to try out Mastodon's "Advanced Web Interface". It has a multicolumn layout similar to TweetDeck, and is built into all Mastodon servers:

This guide tells you how to activate and use it, as well as answers to lots of common questions about it.

Some people find multicolumn mode essential, while others find it overwhelming. You can use whichever interface you prefer 🙂

It wasn’t so long ago that #Mastodon made up 90% of MAUs on the #Fediverse. Hell, it so dominated Fediverse usage that, for most people, Mastodon was the Fediverse.

But now Mastodon’s percentage of MAUs stands at 58%. And it’s probably lower because the second most popular Fediverse software distribution, #Misskey, doesn’t accurately report MAUs. So what happened?

I suspect four things:

Mastodon validated the concept of a Fediverse, which prompted more devs to build for #ActivityPub
As Big Social alienated their userbase, some of this userbase sought Fediverse alternatives. This is what drove popularity of #Lemmy and #Pixelfed.
#Bluesky became the default alternative to #Twitter instead of Mastodon
As Mastodon users became aware of a greater Fediverse, many migrated to other Fediverse software

Obviously, Mastodon is alive and kicking. It’s not going anywhere. Its continuing development is critical to the success of the Fediverse.

But at the same time, the success of Mastodon led to the success of other federated projects. And it works the other way around too. The success of other federated projects is also Mastodon’s success.

So really, lower MAUs for Mastodon is actually a giant win for the big pachyderm.

@GuyDudeman @lavaeolus because the #Fediverse turns out to be a rat nest of people who violate the basic constitutional rights of other users while deplatforming everyone who deviates from a narrow-minded worldview by using _centralized_ blocklists, thereby destroying the federation idea.

In addition, #Mastodon ’s #UI and #UX is so ugly and so badly designed from an ergonomics POV that most people already stay away after first contact.

That’s why.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @bunbloc Oh, sorry, was not clear. I was thinking of a #mastodon instance solely over #reticulum using #LXMF and not via any other protocol, to make it a bit special and to provide superb chat rooms or group chats and fill that current gap. #reticulum allows for images of course. Would work very well indeed perhaps. Was wondering how much code would need changing to #mastodon to port it to a #reticulum #node #nomad server ...

Ready to move away from Big Tech?

There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO

Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own:

1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously.

2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one.

3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time.

4. Office software : Libre Office.

5. Video conference : Whereby.

6. Desktop OS : Linux.

7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general.

As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try.

#DhaagaUpdates v0.15.0 will be out tonight 🎉

I am excited to introduce Collections™!

Bookmark implementation in #mastodon is pretty weak.

And #bluesky does not even have bookmarks yet!

Also, unlike #misskey, there is no way to organise them into folders, for example.

With this update, #DhaagaApp will let you create bookmarks and organise them into collections for ANY #fediverse software.

The saved posts can be viewed anytime, offline from your device.

See you next release,
Deb

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.

What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?

The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.

Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

@janantos@mstdn.social Hetzner is NOT friendly toward the LGBTQ community.

Many people here on the Fediverse learned that when a bunch of Fedi sites which has drawings or photos of women kissing women, or men kissing men, were taken offline.

I try to recommend providers who are open to generally any content, provided it is legal, of course. I am not going to recommend people looking to escape possible censorship or safety concerns, only to further feel unsafe and possibly censored.

For some, joining Mastodon might seem risky because "the server could shut down at any time" or because it's managed by a single administrator. While these concerns are understandable, Mastodon has far more safeguards in place compared to centralized platforms:

1. Admins are typically experienced sysadmins with a strong passion for server management.

2. It's generally recommended to have multiple admins (we have four).

3. Many servers have financial plans in place, such as donation systems. We have my company backing things up.

4. Infrastructure is often cost-effective, keeping operating costs low.

A few additional points to consider:

1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").

2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.

Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.

The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

Content is already federated, while search is still confined to the local server. They’re working on search federation through service providers hosting content. #Fediscovery is a project to implement federated search on activitypub federated and decentralised networks.

This is probably a dumb question but is it possible/advisable for more people to host their own content? Seems like instead of having giant servers where everyone’s stuff is stored we could all just host our own files and people connect to them?

A few facts and thoughts about #BlueSky being decentralized or not:

#ATProto (the protocol behind bluesky) is decentralized and open-source, but is controlled by a for-profit (albeit fiscally a public benefit) organization, "Bluesky Social PBC".
"Bluesky" refers to a sum of ATProto concepts, notably the AppView (bsky.app), the main Personal Data Servers (PDS, bsky.social), and the Relays (or firehose, bsky.network). There are others, but they're the 3 important ones.
Anyone can run their own AppView, PDS or Relay AND consume the content from/get their content consumed by the Bluesky infrastructure. HOWEVER, not everything is trivial or cheap to run.

3.0 A PDS, which contains your data (account details but also posts, likes, follows, etc), is trivial and cheap to self-host. Cheaper than hosting a mastodon instance, even, because it does way less stuff and receives way less requests. See https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

3.1 An AppView (the presentation layer, where users interact with ATProto content) can be created by anyone, but the bsky.app backend is NOT open-source, so there are not a ton of options right now.
EDIT: seems like I was wrong and that the bsky.app AppView is open-source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/bsky

3.2 Running a relay is trivial but expensive to self-host. This is because its purpose is to act as an aggregator for all the PDS so that AppViews can consume the data in a way that scales better. The Bluesky relay implementation (bigsky) is open-source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/blob/main/cmd/bigsky/README.md
About 2.5 months ago, 4.5TB of storage was needed and an OVH server costing 150$/month worked to host a full-atmosphere relay (more on that later).

4.0 To make a comparison with #ActivityPub (the protocol behind #mastodon ), the AppView and PDS is the same thing in ActivityPub, and the concept of relay doesn't exist. There are advantages and drawbacks to both architectures, I might do a future post highlighting those.

5.0 With those definitions out of the way, some observations:

5.1 A lot of users self-host their PDS, but the vast majority of users chose the simpler option.

5.2 There are some alternative AppViews built on ATProto, but the vast majority of users visit bsky.app.

5.3 There are very little non-bluesky self-hosting of relays, mostly because of their prohibitive cost. Running the bigsky relay is expensive partly because of design decisions for ATProto and partly because it takes ALL content from ALL accounts for ALL the network on the atmosphere (in this case atmosphere == fediverse but for ATProto). This is like if your Mastodon instance queried ALL servers for ALL accounts querying ALL posts. In the future, there might exist relays that don't scrape ALL data but only a subset of it, which would bring down costs, but it's not yet the case.

6.0 So "is Bluesky decentralized?"

6.1 In theory, yes, everything that bluesky does on ATProto can be.

6.2 In practice, however, the most decentralized part of Bluesky is the PDS, where the user data is stored, and even that is not that decentralized.

6.3 Will it stay this way? I'm hopeful it won't, but I don't know. ATProto is fairly new compared to ActivityPub, and the ecosystem around it was mostly built by the BlueSky company, but I expect this to change in the future. However, the cost of entry for things built on ATProto will always be more than the cost of entry for things built on ActivityPub.

6.4 Things built on ActivityPub will always be more decentralized than things built on ATProto, because of design decisions from both of these protocols.

#Hallo Ihr Lieben auf https://lsbt.me ,

Unsere #Instanz wächst und wächst. Kürzlich hatten wir unser zwei-jähriges Jubiläum. Wir haben aktuell 192 trötende #Rüssel hier auf unserer Instanz und das bedeutet, dass unsere Instanz mit eine der erfolgreichen Instanzen im #deutsch sprachigen Raum geworden ist.

Das bedeutet aber auch, dass der Instanz #Server einiges zu leisten hat. Er muss performant bleiben und er muss groß genug sein, um die ganzen #Tröts mit ihren #Medien wie #Bilder und #Videos zu speichern. Auch der #Backup-Server muss entsprechend dimensioniert sein. Das alles kostet viel #Geld im #Monat, das ich vollständig aus der eigenen #Tasche bezahle.

Wenn es Dir hier bei uns also gefällt und Du nicht möchtest, dass diese Instanz irgendwann in der Versenkung verschwindet, wie so viele andere kleine und große Instanzen auch, dann denke doch einmal drüber nach, ob Du mich dabei nicht ein kleines bisschen #unterstützen möchtest.

Spenden kannst du entweder per #Bitcoin, Paypal oder Banküberweisung. Alle Informationen dazu findest du unter #Spendenmöglichkeiten auf der "About" Seite dieser Instanz ganz unten: https://lsbt.me/about#spenden
Am meisten freue ich mich natürlich, wenn Du die Möglichkeit der regelmäßigen #Spende per #PayPal oder #Dauerauftrag nutzen würdest.

Vielen Dank und weiterhin ganz viel Spaß bei uns, wünscht Dir Eure #Admina

There are many post visibility settings on Mastodon:

🌎 Public - Everyone can see it

🌘 Unlisted/Quiet Public - Everyone can see it but it won't show up in search results or trends

🔒 Followers Only - Only your followers can see it

@ Mentions/Specific People - Only people you mention can see it, often used for DMs

WARNING: If you mention someone's account (if you @ them), they will be able to see that post on ALL visibilities.

And this kids is, why heavy user flocking on a single instance in the #Fediverse is not desirable, screenshot 1

The good news is, the service is now recovering, screenshot 2

Let this also be a reminder that there are many other wonderful services in the fediverse besides #Mastodon, some of which have nice features that mastodon has been lacking for years. #Friendica #Iceshrimp #Misskey #Sharkey to name just a few. But I am really glad to see the instance is recovering. Kudos to the admin team 💪

@dansup i really dont want to spoil the fun here. I appreciate the effort.

But although #signal is much more popular than #matrix their relationship is like #mastodon to #bluesky. Both bluesky and signal have a #proprietary backend. although their frontent is #OpenSource they technically have a single point of failure. server/cluster down == service down

Mastodon and matrix are actual fediverse services which are undestroyable since they are many federated, independent servers.

#Mastodon on ollut mm. siitä kiva, että täällä ei ole ollut tapana lukea toisen kirjoittamaa pahimman kautta, eikä tehdä oletuksia toisesta, motiiveistaan jne. Kuten Twitterissä tapahtui.

Sellainen kun on paskaa.

Valitettavasti tällaista on viime aikoina näkynyt #SuomiMastodon issa.

Voitaisiinko puhaltaa tälle stoppi nyt, ennen kuin se on täälläkin valtavirtaa?

I don't think we need billions of people here. I already have all the content I need, and no one can keep up with everything anyway. The idea that social media requires a 'critical mass' is just another false narrative pushed by commercial social media corporations and their users.

I'm happy for everyone who joins the Fediverse, but for me, the value of the Social Web lies in other things - not in sheer numbers.

If you're on the mastodon.social server you may have posts missing from your timeline. This is apparently due to technical problems on mastodon.social:

https://status.mastodon.social/cm6i55duu000ijwc2g6f4t3kx

If this is happening to you it's not your fault, it's your server that is currently a bit broken.

Other Mastodon servers are unaffected by this and should be working normally.

@BeAware What you're paying is about the cost I've heard of other people paying for a VPS hosting #Mastodon, so that's probably about right.

Just an option to throw out there, I started paying for this managed instance of #GoToSocial a month ago, I'm already federating with just under 7k other fediverse instances, and I'm paying $5/month through knthost.com

You still get some command line level access so you can customize various things on your instance, but you don't have to manage anything at the OS level.

Might at least be something worth looking into if you wanted to drastically cut your selfhosting costs.

We talk a lot about decentralised social media, but not everyone knows what that means.

It's an online space which is not controlled by one company or person. Platforms which are open, allowing information (such as posts) to flow in and out. And, because the open technology isn't controlled by a company, anyone can build a compatible platform and plug it in! 🔌

If you are part of a #Mastodon server admin team here's a thing I hacked together yesterday: mastomsg https://codeberg.org/tante/mastomsg/

mastomsg allows you to send a DM either to a list of people or to all accounts younger than a certain timedelta (think: everyone who joined in the last 3 weeks). It's intended use is for example to send welcome DMs to people who just joined your server.

Nothing big but maybe it helps a few people. You can also install it via pip
`pipx install mastomsg`

@lilythelonelygirl@hear-me.social

Hey everyone!! Lily is back with another update!

I wanted to let you all know that I’ve decided to lock my account, but don’t worry—my posts will still be public as usual. You might be wondering, "Why lock your account if your posts are still public?" That’s a great question, and I’ll explain!

Lately, I’ve been receiving a lot of random follow requests from people I don’t know, and for my own comfort, I’d rather have control over who follows me. By locking my account, I can personally review and accept follower requests instead of allowing anyone to follow me automatically. This way, I can maintain a safer and more comfortable space for myself.

Nicholas (aka @NicholasTheSaver on Mastodon) has also made the same decision, so I’m not alone in this! Just to clarify, I will not accept follow requests from accounts that have NSFW content on their Mastodon page. I want to keep my follower list as clean and comfortable as possible for both myself and my community.

Thank you all for understanding, and I appreciate your continued support! 😊

New instance, new #Introduction
I have a couple other accounts out there but I'll keep this one as corporate as possible. Calcul Quebec's comms team has recently moved away from #X and is phasing out #Facebook. They insist on keeping #LinkedIn for quite valid reasons and they want to try #Bluesky, which is also fair. However, I want to prove that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are just as valid for reach.

I'll mostly be talking about the #HPC and #Quantum research in #Quebec and #Canada

Posts will be French, English, or bilingual depending on the topic. Topics will range from #funding and #infrastructure to #research and #cybersecurity , along with possibly government announcements that might impact any parts of my work.

A note on compatibility: I'm calling version 1.0 "Crystal for Mastodon", but it *should* work with other Fediverse servers that have a similar API like #Pixelfed, #GoToSocial, and so on – I just haven't tested these thorougly yet, so I can't promise everything will work.

If you’d like to try the app with a non-Mastodon server without having to buy it first, there are open TestFlight spots available and you’ll get compatibility improvements before anyone else: https://testflight.apple.com/join/NKpHVXt3

#Tootik is a #Fediverse software distribution with a #Gemini front-end.

And by Gemini, I mean the protocol—not the AI.

Yes, it can talk to #Mastodon. However, because it’s Gemini, it won’t display images—only text.

Believe it or not, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long, long time. I use Gemini when I need a break from the web.

One story that has not gotten a lot of focus outside of Norway is this one:

The players:
1. Elon Musk
2. Nicolai Tangen, head of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Tangen had invited Musk to speak at a conference and attend dinner. Musk initially said yes, but then reversed after the Norwegian fund had voted against his package.

The story shows some of the communication between the two, as required by law. It shows a petty and disrespectful Musk, as you would expect. The Fund is a large investor in Tesla.

@elipariser I think this post is quite telling, so you need massive financial backing in order to set up a relay for a 2nd Bluesky instance. With great money comes great incentives to do bad things. The point here is, why should a user potentially go through the same busted experience they had with Twitter on a potentially busted 2nd Bluesky instance? With #ActivityPub, you can simply find another instance, #Mastodon doesn't disappear when one instance goes busted.

@juergen_hubert yeah, I think you're getting this exactly backwards.

#Mastodon/#ActivityPub makes it way too hard to move instances. It's unfortunately a core problem with this platform, but we shouldn't pretend it's not.

Other platforms like #BlueSky make it much easier, but #Fediverse is behind on this one.

We need to recognize that as a rough edge, a legit reason users might choose another platform.

Uudella alustalla kun ollaan, sitä ihmettelee perusasioita: Mikä on Mastodonin luonne? Facebookissa jaettiin asioita yleensä ottaen omille kavereille, jotka tunnettiin jo jostain. Twitterissä mentiin asiat (ja asiattomuudet) edellä. Haetteko Mastodonista samanhenkisiä vai mikä on agendanne? Teettekö vain julkisia postauksia? Tuotteko esiin henkilökohtaisuuksia? Missä määrin ylipäätään käytätte julkisuusasetuksia? Mastodonin luonne voi toki olla hajautettuna verkostona - no, hajautunut. #mastodon

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social

One unique selling point of #Mastodon which we need to push more is how easy it is to move servers.

I mean, how often have you heard about people being scared away from Mastodon because they have a hard time picking a server? This is not a condemnation of their hypothetical lack of technical aptitude - it's just that every other social media platform outside of the #Fediverse makes leaving as difficult as possible. You tie up a _lot_ of your online identity with a specific account, especially if you are a heavy user - and if you decide to leave an account, then you have to give up pretty much all of the connections you have made.

Thus, picking "the wrong server" is something that can trigger considerable anxiety for those who've had to abandon social media platforms in the past - what if they pick badly, and need to start over?

But even a lot of long-term Mastodon users don't know how easy it is to move - not only takes the process a mere half an hour or so, but you can also take all of your followers with you - their servers are notified, and they automatically move their subscription from your old to your new account without having to so a thing!

I think this kind of easy account transferral is almost unprecedented with online services (and I can't think of any other examples - can you?), so it's not surprising that people don't think about this when facing the choice of picking a server.

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!

In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

Hello! I'm new to #Mastodon and also to the #Fediverse in general. Still setting up shop and figuring out how it all works.

By way of #Introduction, I'm a #Photographer based in #Edmonton, #Alberta, #Canada, shooting primarily #Wildlife and #Nature, with a healthy dose of #Landscapes thrown in ☺️

Here are a few of my all-time favourites to get a sense of what I'm into

I went to Calm Coding at @varia and it was very cool! We listened to #cumbia, ate cookies and talked about #servers, #microblogging, #sftp, #texteditors, #obsidian, #emacs, #vim, #bash, #zotero, #mastodon, #bluesky, #wikimedia, #hibiscus, #markdown, #orgmode, #hugo, #knitting, #happenings, #websites, #rent and #bread. Admittedly there was some coding as well.
I felt very welcome and I think it's pretty dope that I already met real peoples through Mastodon! 8-)

When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».

The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.

B for the effort, but please editors do better!

@noortjevee @RandamuMaki this is why people tell others to stop signing up on .social, it's just another Twitter with another asshole in charge.

They've been censoring people for years based on one guys belief system. You were probably "limited" (that's what it's called in the admin panel) based on beliefs and nothing to do with spam. They just lied in the reasoning cause you won't be able to do anything about it.

I must admit I still don't understand this fediverse concept but am I correct in thinking it's kind of a mix between Twitter and Discord? Microblogging like Twitter but a similar server concept as with Discord? Or do I understand less than I thought? 😬

BeAware

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

This is your reminder that if your post is set to "Public", then anyone can and probably will, do anything they want with your posts.

With over 20,000 Fedi instances and 10m accounts, you have no way to tell who or what is consuming your posts and what they could be doing with them.

Consider your public posts as if you just threw them out on the sidewalk for all to see. There's no expectation of privacy on the sidewalk.

See: Awakari for an example of a service that has been on Fedi for over a year now that sells data based on topics discussed.

How do I know they sell it? There's an option on their site that says "Free first 30 days of access", implying that there's a fee after the 30 days.

Do yourself a favor and don't post publicly if you expect privacy.

Galera linda e novinha (ou até mais antiga) do #mastodon! Seguem algumas dicas para melhorar sua vida por aqui :blobBone_dance:

:alerta: Se achar longo, leia as 3 primeiras dicas e salve. Mas LEIA o resto! :raposa: É bem importante

:sm64_1: Cuidem da sua bio :blobBone_jump: Coloquem uma foto, escrevam um textinho, mesmo que simples. Botem boas informações como gostos e hobbies no perfil :ablobcatbongokeyboard: E uns toots (postagens) não fazem mal a ninguém, assim sai confundido com um 🤖

:sm64_2: Faça a sua #introdução em um toot :catjam: Essa #apresentação é uma boa maneira de conhecer novas pessoas e interagir no #fediverso! O pessoal tem costume de dar :boost: , então aproveite!

:sm64_3: O #fediverso é construído com interações, então se quiser ser seguido é bom interagir 🦜 Mais em (por @pancho) https://bolha.one/@pancho/113135497401808790

:sm64_4: Deixe sua linha do tempo bem viva! Além de seguir pessoas, é bom seguir e usar #hashtags por aqui :pusheenBounce: Conheça as várias @TagsBR que acontecem semanalmente :ablobcatdj:

:sm64_5: Também que podemos seguir e interagir com timelines de outras instâncias também. Muito bão isso :nkoHappy:

:sm64_6: Abaixo (links) tem ótimas listagens de instâncias brasileiras (e até latino-americanas). Lembrem que SEMPRE pode mudar de servidor. Seu servidor, sua instância faz MUITA DIFERENÇA na sua experiência aqui no #fediverso. Se está achando sem graça ou só não está gostando tanto, pense em mudar :bugcat_sweat:

Ainda mais importante para quem está na mastodon.social que é a mais genérica possível. Quando mudei, tudo mudou :blobBone_bounce:

https://social.harpia.red/notice/AfFmRYvjOIPbOXJPxQ (por @kariboka) e https://brasil.rednet.social/ (por @santiago)

:sm64_7: Use e teste diferentes aplicativos para ver o que mais gosta. Já usei vários e recomendo o @moshidon para #android (feito pelo @lucas_na_ursal). O #moshidon, por exemplo, permite interagir com a timeline de várias instâncias. Depois coloco uma recomendação aqui de um app para iOS.

:sm64_8: Postou uma imagem, um gif ou um vídeo, coloque o texto alternativo. Isso é bem importante e valorizado por aqui. Eu mesmo só dou boost se tiver texto alternativo. Outra dica importante é descrever sua foto e capa do perfil :chick_writer:

:sm64_9: O #mastodon na web também pode ser acessado com interfaces alternativas como: elk.zone e https://phanpy.social. Experimente, o #fediverso é cheio experiências diferentes e proveitosas! Um mundo novo :ms_cat_smile:

:sm64_1: :sm64_0: Além da #hashtags você também podem seguir interagir com comunidades do Lemmy (Forum ou Reddit daqui) ou de grups. Basta seguir que vai aparecer na sua timelime e marcar em um toot para aparecer por lá ou para quem segue. Exemplo @ fediverso@a.gup.pe ou @ internet@lemmy.eco.br. Pode achar outras comunidades aqui:

Lemmy Brasil: https://lemmy.eco.br/communities
Forum da Ayom.Media:https://forum.ayom.media/communities
Forum da Bolha.us: https://bolha.forum/communities

:sm64_1: O #fediverso tem muitas alternativas descentralizadas, então explore 🚀 Só alguns exemplos abaixo, existem muito mais🤘

Microblog: #pleroma, #misskey, #friendica, #gotosocial, #akkoma.
Foto: @pixelfed.
Blog: #Plume, @writefreely

Maybe I need to think about this differently, everything is ephemeral and maybe that''s for the better (and I have the real copies). I also could self-host.

"Se on ihan vassarisome"

Ei.

Mutta on toki totta, että täällä on varmasti enemmän poliittisen janan vasemmalla kuin oikealla puolella olevia, ja ehdottomasti enemmän sen alapuolella olevia liberaaleja, kuin yläpuolella olevia konservatiiveja.

Se on mennyt aika luomusti näin. Esim. kun Musk osti Twitterin, joka oli aivan kamala jo sitä ennen, oli aika luontevaa, että sieltä läksivät he, jotka olivat väsyneitä äärioikeistotrolleihin ja vähemmistöjä sortaviin vihapuhujiin.

Post about people's behavior on Mastodon.

Attention people on the Fediverse. When an individual on Mastodon responds to you with a statement such as “Go away with your 💩” and subsequently blocks you, it often serves as an indication that while they acknowledge the validity of your argument, they are unable to tolerate it.

I have read the #Mastodon reasoning behind not allowing quotes of other posts, but like... its pretty obvious to me at least that it just encourages ppl to share un-CWed boosts BC the only other option is to screenshot.

No quotes BC toxicity is a solution to a problem that doesn't rly exist. And if someone rly wants to dunk, they screenshot.

Starting to feel like this 2025 Influx of users is much larger than 2022 Influx of users. New users come in huge waves. Many of them also seem to genuinely like Mastodon according to the feedback. In 2022 many tried, soon gave up and left to Bluesky or back to X. Today, many have even deleted their commercial accounts and settled here.

I like this new development of things. Seeing new faces and more cat photos bring me so much joy. Thanks for being here. Remember that you matter.

I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...

If you think words like #server, #instance, #federated, or especially #fediverse are intuitive, welcoming, or commonly understood language outside of techie circles,

then I’d like to ask that you pause and consider broadening your empathy.

Most humans don’t know what these words mean. That reduces their likelihood to embrace a nice place like #mastodon, and condemns anyone who has expertise in other fields to ad-based social media.

@mastodonmigration There’s only one reason to join Mastodon.social: to test if Mastodon is for you. If you’re still using Mastodon after two weeks, it’s time to move to an instance that aligns with your values. The whole idea behind Mastodon is decentralization. There should never be just one main instance.

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!

But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.

#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!

And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

Is there a way on #mastodon to not display the self-boosts of accounts you follow? The chance I’ve seen your post is big, so I don’t need to see it again 12 hours later. What’s the deal with boosting your own toots anyway? It’s weird.

I know you can hide an account’s boosts all together, but I only want to hide the self boosts.

Expert Plus 🍀

@ExpertPlus@mementomori.social

Mastodon, honestly, haven't changed much since I joined. It has its own community, and I do realize now that it's impossible for Mastodon to become a Twitter-like community and post Twitter-like posts.

I know, most of you will say: "Of course, because Twitter sucks and you better not post anything like you would on X!", yet my point is, is that Mastodon's posts will never become like posts from other popular platforms.

Mastodon community has nothing to fear for. They don't have to fear that Mastodon is going to die, or that Mastodon will no longer be Mastodon.

Mastodon, to me, feels more like old Facebook + old Twitter combination. Yeah, the old ones that I knew.

Imagine if all your friends were sharing their honest thoughts, sharing their pictures. That's literally my feed on here.

I can't say that Mastodon is a bad place to exist, because I don't think it is. But honestly, Mastodon *fails* as a Twitter alternative, because........it's not meant to be an alternative to Twitter.

Yes, I know what you will say. But, still, Mastodon is better to be recommended as a somewhat alternative to Facebook, rather then as alternative to Twitter.

I just feel like as if Facebook users had moved to Mastodon, you know? That type of vibe Mastodon gives me, when I scroll my feed on here.

It's no wonder Bluesky is becoming the number #1 best alternative to Twitter, *because it was created with mind to be an alternative to Twitter*. No wonder people are saying that Bluesky LOOKS and FEELS like twitter.

See? See where am I going with that?

But Mastodon? But what about Mastodon?

Mastodon = is an old, good Facebook that Facebook used to be. Mastodon doesn't gives me vibes or a feel that I use Twitter......unless I use former Twitter app that is now remade to be for Mastodon (like @MonaApp / @ivory ) app. Yes, using an app like that does gives me Twitter vibes - just sharing that personally at least what I feel like.

BUT, even then, Mastodon still feels like Facebook. I'm sorry, but that's the way things are. At least on my side and the feed that I have.

Mastodon has its own ecosystem. Mastodon has its own world.

And that world is DIFFERENT then old Twitter's or Bluesky's.

Bluesky did managed to recreate Twitter's world perfectly which I miss.

Congrats to Bluesky and I'm sorry for your loss, Mastodon - for loss in being a good competetitor to Twitter. There are still small chances for Mastodon to win, though, BUT ONLY if people are going to use Mastodon through apps for Mastodon that will give them old Twitter vibes. For Apple users, I think it's Mona and Ivory. Just because these apps used to be Twitter apps before.

Mastodon has else issues though, I must say. It's about blocking domains/defederating from some Fediverse instances.

You see, I've been watching for an year and a half and still, how do people on here are abusing defederation. A good example of it is mastodon.art .

I've also seen other people promoting to block that or that Mastodon server/Mastodon user, just because they don't agree with what that user/Mastodon server's community says/its opinions.

Honestly, personally, I dislike such approach. If you want to defederate, just defederate from a user/Mastodon server that is a spam, or a scam, or violates any normal human being's rules taht are accepted widely and globally everywhere. But don't abuse that tool, please!

As for now, I am mainly active on Bluesky - https://expertplus.creator.blue , if anyone wants to follow meover there or as @expertplus.creator.blue (make sure to follow @bsky.brid.gy so that you and I would be to interact with each other), because that's where most of my Twitter followings are, and that's where I have a good amount of audience (252 followers), although I must say, on Mastodon I have the best engagement, while on Bluesky, uh, I mainly have zero engagement, feels like nobody sees my posts when I post there.

I'm not leaving Mastodon, of course no, but I've sen some people I know, who were wondering about me being inactive on Mastodon, so that's why did I wrote this whole thing.

If you've made it this far to the end of my post, thank you for reading it and have a good day :-)

Yeah week 3 of failing to upload another photo on pixelfeed via web browser

Also tried to follow, as a test, a user from pixelfeed from mastodon. Computer says no.

So again I’m absolutely dumb explain these errors to me like you’re telling a 6 year old.

Mastodon continues their iconic streak of fediverse innovation with their fediscovery project.

I look forward to working with @Mastodon to bring better discovery and search to Pixelfed and Loops.

This is the magic of the fediverse, no amount of VC funding could compete.

Many have love that #Pixelfed is an alternative to #Instagram, but are there any other federated alternatives?

Yes, there is! Check out @frequency, made by the wonderful @jesseplusplus!

But can an account #Frequency follow a #Pixelfed account? Yes, because it is ActivityPub-enabled it can follow all #Fediverse apps such as Pixelfed, #Mastodon, #Akkoma—and more!

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.

What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?

The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.

Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

The possibility of #Bluesky putting ads in search is exactly why the Fediverse has to get serious about social discovery.

And it’s why I applaud #Mastodon’s initiative with #Fediscovery and the plan to decentralize Fediverse search as well.

#Bluesky CEO Jay Graber says that ads on the platform are a possibility.

Specifically, she said that ads could appear in Bluesky’s search results.

Hence why I call out Bluesky’s ownership of relays and firehose as threats to #ATProto’s ability to decentralize.

However, Bluesky may eventually experiment with ads in a way that doesn’t compromise the core user experience. That could include running ads in Bluesky’s search results, the CEO later clarified offstage, as an example of a less intrusive advertising method the platform could try out.

If you have not done so already, download an alternative browser, such as Vivaldi as well. Consider whether you can move away from other Big Tech services. At Vivaldi, for example, we use Whereby for video conferences. Many of us have moved to Linux. Many of us use LibreOffice, instead of Microsoft office. There are options if you look for them. It is easy to go with Big Tech, but if you think the world would be better without them or if they had less power, know that you can make a difference.

Mielipidekirjoitukseen tulleista kommenteista päätellen elää vahvassa samat vanhat virheolettamukset:

1. Somepalvelun voi pistää pystyyn vain yksi firma joka päättää säännöistä ja moderoinnista
2. Moderointi ja tarkat säännöt ovat huono asia (koska "sensuuri" ja "sananvapaus"!), mutta sitten toisaalta moderoinnin puute on myös huono asia
3. Kukaan peruskäyttäjä ei mukamas osaa käyttää, jos ei löydy yhtä sovellusta tai käyttötapaa tai jos vastaan tulee uusia käsitteitä
4. Algoritmittomuus on huono asia, koska vastaan tulee päivityksiä, joista ei pidetä
5. Valtava käyttäjämäärä on ainoa mittari jolla palvelu voi menestyä, Mastodon kaatuu käyttäjien puutteeseen
6. Uudet somet ajavat vain samanmielisten kuplaan, jossa kukaan ei ole eri mieltä
7. Homma jää nörttien ja yliopistolaisten asiaksi, koska kukaan ei tule koskaan ymmärtämään hajautusta
8. Hajautettu some on kuin Linux, joka ei koskaan menestynyt (newsflash: suurin osa maailman laitteista ja nettisivuista käyttävät taustalla Linuxia)

A friendly reminder,

The Fediverse, the social network you're using to avoid Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Blue Sky, is managed by real people, and not corporations. These real people, your administrator, pay for hosting so that you may share your thought, feelings, or just randomly sh-t post.

If you're financially able, take a moment to reach out to your administrator, and ask if they need help. Even a little bit can help.

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.

ALT text details

A screenshot of the alt text modal in Mastodon's web app, with a preview of the image (in this case, our elephant mascot), a text field underneath it, a character counter, a button to automatically detect text on the image, and a help button that opens a popover with the headline "What is alt text?" The text that follows reads: "Alt text provides image descriptions for people with vision impairments, low-bandwidth connections, or those seeking extra context. You can improve accessibility and understanding for everyone by writing clear, concise, and objective alt text. - Capture important elements - Summarize text in images - Use regular sentence structure - Avoid redundant information - Focus on trends and key findings in complex visuals (like diagrams or maps)"

@media_dept @amassaro @papernoise you're not wrong in thinking that peertube discovery is not ideal.

I tend to get most my discoveries by following the hashtag #peertube here or visiting the bigger sites like tilvids, spectra.video etc then following remotely... It takes a while but like #mastodon it has an organic growth.

I really hope at one point we'll be able to boost videos we like that could be tracked by a fediwide database of sorts.

Until then share what u find here:)

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

It's so disheartening to see so many people complaining about boosts.

That means they're fundamentally misunderstanding Fediverse.

If there's no boosts, there's VERY little content because the entire Fediverse's "algorithm" is boosts and follows.

By hiding everyone's boosts, you're doing yourself and Fedi a disservice.

Jutussa mainitaan Mastodon ja Fediversumi, mutta se sivuutetaan olankohautuksella ja todetaan sitten loppuun:

"Jotkut haaveilevat myös aivan uusista, eurooppalaisen sääntelyn ja arvojen pohjalta luoduista alustoista. Ne voisivat olla yksityisten yritysten rakentamia, mutta toisaalta ne voisivat olla myös yleisradioyhtiöiden tapaisia julkisia palveluja.

[...]
Toistaiseksi täysin uusien, paremmin toimivien alustojen synty tuntuu silti lähinnä utopistiselta."

Tekisi mieli taas huutaa: HEEEI TÄÄLLÄ OLLAAN MASTODONISSA VUODESTA 2016

Turhauttaa kun narratiivi on tämä. Ei mukamas voi olla muuta kuin jonkun tunnetun tai kaupallisen tahon "iso" palvelu joka on ainoa hyvä ja toimiva.

The #Mastodon team is spearheading the Federated Auxiliary Service Provider (https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications) specification, which is focussed on search and discovery for now but can open up a world of possibilities for trust and safety tooling.

I wonder what's the status with Quote Posts? We kinda have every feature imaginable, but not quote posts. I have personally not missed them, but I know many do.

FYI: You can always link a post and it should generate a preview card of that post, doesn't really work for your own messages though (bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25791)

FYI2: You can use Quote Post functionality in apps like Mona for iPhone.

I'm searching Makertube and have an awful feeling its only searching the server I'm on and not all of Makertube and not all of Peertube? I'm getting no results. Find it hard to believe no one has uploaded a workout to the whole of Peertube! But no results mean its no alternative to Youtube, kinda like Mastodon often yields no results.

No offense to the author, but the official #pixelfed app is in its very early stages and close to unusable to me. However, #pixelix looks very mature to me.

It was the same with #Mastodon though. I used to use #tusky for a long time since the official app was just okayish. But now the official one is the one I use.

There's a bug in our (new) #mastodon instance. Following hashtags doesn't work properly.

For example, while our server claims there is only one(!) new #fediverse post today (from an account I happen to follow), other instances show there are at least a 110.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

@oddly@toot.re

Why does reports of #spam on #mastodon get send to your own server, and optionally to the mods of the server of the spamming account?

Wouldn't it make more sense to make it a choice?

If there is spam from some random spammy server and defederation should be considered > send to own server mods.
If its a well known server > send only to mods of other server.

Right now, #Pixelfed currently boasts 196,395 Monthly Active Users (MAUs).

In comparison, #Mastodon has 847,163 MAUs.

This means Pixelfed’s active user base is approximately 23% the size of Mastodon’s.

Well, it looks like #Bookwyrm works with #bridgyfed just fine!

Does anyone have any experiences with successfully connecting #Fediverse apps with Brid.gy _other_ than #Mastodon and Bookwyrm? I tried but failed to connect my #Pixelfed account earlier, so I am curious about any other possibilities.

I am all for using this possibility, if only to show the fine folks at #Bluesky that we have a rich ecosystem of different apps over here. 😉

A Bluesky feed showing an entry from Bookwyrm - to be specific, the book "Witchcraft - A History in Thirteen Trials" by Marion Gibson, and my thoughts on it: "I got this book at the _Germanische Nationalmuseum_ in Nuremberg. While my own book on German folk tales about #witchcraft is still some years away, it can't hurt to collect some research material first..."

Hei tyypit,

Haluun heti sanoa, että silläkin uhalla, että tää on vaan alkuintoa: mua ei oo ikinä millään somealustalla otettu näin lämpimästi, inklusiivisesti ja turvallisesti vastaan.

Lähdin tänään Metan perseilyn takia mulle rakkaasta kirjagramin yhteisöstä, joka oli ollut kotikolo netissä viimeiset seitsemän vuotta, ja jossa mulla oli oma tuttu ja turvallinen paikkani. Siellä oli myös kirjailijalle markkinoinnin kannalta valtavan tärkeä suuri seuraajamäärä, mutta vaikka siitä luopuminen kirjailijauran kannalta ahdistaa, enemmän suretti se, löytyykö toista paikkaa, jossa sais olla omana itsenään, ja jossa ois kirjoista ja lukemisesta innostuneita ihmisiä.

Näyttää siltä, että vois löytyä, ja ettei sellaisen etsimisen ees tarvii olla ahdistavaa tai stressaavaa. Se voi olla kokeilemista, kyselyä ja oppimista.

Kiitos kun sen mahdollistatte, Mastodonin konkarit! ❤️

@rolle@mementomori.social

@henkka Miksi pidän Mastodonista:

- Voin kehittää ja parantaa palvelua itse ohjelmoijana
- Minulla on täysi vapaus vaikuttaa siihen mitä sovellusta käytän ja miltä päivitykseni näyttävät
- Täällä on paljon nörttejä!
- Omistan kokonaan oman datani ja päätän mitä sillä tehdään
- Palvelussa on mahtavia käyttäjiä
- Palvelussa voin käyttää englantia! Uskomatonta kyllä, mutta kaupalliset palvelut leimaavat minut suomalaiseksi, eivätkä enkkupostaukseni näy yhtään missään
- Mastodonissa on parhaat ominaisuudet: Voi seurata aihetunnisteita, sisältövaroitukset, toimiva sisällön filtteröinti, 10000 merkkiä, loputon muokkausominaisuus, reaaliaikainen virta, ja niin edelleen...
- Nopeus! Oma palvelin on niin nopea kuin pistän löpöä, Tykkään erityisesti reaaliaikaisuudesta.
- BLOP-ääni ilmoituksissa. Tällaiset pienet jutut ilahduttavat.
- Yleisesti ottaen leppoisampaa. Ja jos ei miellytä, voin blokata kerralla kokonaisen öyhöpalvelimen.

Siinäpä muutama syy, mutta lisääkin varmasti on. Roppakaupalla plussia, miinuksia vähän.

https://fed.brid.gy/ is a very, very useful tool. It is saving me a lot of time for me.

What I typically do with it, is first to post on #Mastodon (aka the fediverse) and then to share the mastodon post on Bluesky using the bridgy app.

With this wave of migrations comes more people to complain that Fedi :fediverse: is confusing...

I still don't see how.

Email exists and it's not even as simple. You can't "migrate" emails. So the "lock-in" is permanent, where on Fedi, picking an instance is important, however, you CAN migrate fairly easily.

There's some learned behaviors from other social media platforms that needs to be re-learned like following. Following people is how Fediverse goes around. Follow vigorously and follow often.

You can always unfollow.

It takes time to learn. Be patient and ask. Complaining and saying things are confusing won't do any good...

This past week I have heard the same question thrown around over and over again: "what's the point of setting up a #Pixelfed account if the software is interoperable with the rest of the Fediverse? Why not just post photos on Mastodon or Sharkey or __?"

Well, #Pixelfed allows you to have a beautiful, curated feed of your photos.

The Fediverse already exists and actually works - #Mastodon, #Bookwyrm, #Pixelfed and others are all communicating without asking anyone's permission. That's real decentralization in action. Meanwhile, Bluesky's "decentralization" is just a marketing buzzword they've slapped onto a centralized service. It's like they've read the Wikipedia page for "decentralization" and decided to use it as window dressing. (3/4)

A person's shoulder and arm, wearing a dark brown jacket, are visible in the lower right corner, partially obscuring the view. A portion of the person's headphones is also visible. The airplane's interior is dark gray.

On my self-hosted account, interactions don't seem to be federating. I can make statuses, and they show up locally, but if I browse to @scott@tams.tech from here I don't see anything posted since upgrading from 4.3.1 to 4.3.3. If this account likes a post on that one, for example, it shows up in my notifications on that account, but the other way around doesn't work.

Can anyone help? Is this a bug I should report?

Bonjour #Mastodon ! Comme beaucoup en ce moment, je quitte X. Dans la vie j'aime bien prendre des photos de chat 😻, collectionner des gadgets tech pas forcément très utiles et monter des kits LEGO (entre autres choses). Côté pro, je suis ingénieur en informatique (un peu touche à tout), et j'essaie d'apprendre la data science cette année 👨‍💻. J'aimerais bien aussi démarrer un blog cette année (les bonnes résolutions 2025 😅), mais si déjà je toot/piaille régulièrement, ce sera pas mal 😀. #introduction

Photographie d'un chat bicolore blanc et brun. Il est assis sur un oreiller lui même posé sur un tabouret en bois en demi-cercle. Il regarde quelque chose hors champ à droite de la photographie. La tabouret est devant deux fenêtres et à côté d'un radiateur beige. Il fait clair à l'extérieur, mais il n'est pas possible de distinguer ce qu'il y a dehors.

We haven't seen the predicted number of users moving from X today (yet).

Hopefully we'll wake up to a rise in numbers on New Social platforms as many distance themselves from platforms run by those who are currently attending President Trump's inauguration.

No matter how many move, we will do our best to help them find community in the democratic open social network.

SpaceHost will be making a new version of Mastodon available soon to its Mastodon users.

Mastodon version 4.3.3

...

When SpaceHost puts out a new release of Fediverse software — we put it through a full quality-assurance (QA) process. So, there is a bit of a delay between when a new release comes out and when SpaceHost makes the upgrade available.

I don't really have an explanation, the #CES is over, and everything should be back to "normal". But I like it, of course!
#Flipboard was also bigger again, that's why "the #Fediverse" (meaning for me #Mastodon, #Bluesky and @Flipboard) are on par with #Facebook 🤭

Hoy es el día, #VámonosJuntas llama a todas a dejar de lado Twitter y, por extensión, las redes comerciales (que no sociales) y venirse al #Fediverso. Bienvenidas todas! :blobcatPraise:

Yo hace ya tiempo (más de 2 años!) que cerré mi cuenta de Twitter, y aunque fue un cambio drástico, noté que me venía bien a múltiples niveles:

- Redujo mi nivel de ansiedad. Dejé de ver tanto el jaleo del día promocionado en Twitter y pasé a enterarme de lo realmente importante, normalmente con conversaciones más sosegadas y menos trolls.

- Redujo mi tiempo enganchado al móvil. Se nota mucho cuando una app está diseñada para que te tires horas ahí (porque así ves más de sus anuncios) y cuando no.

- Empecé a compartir más mis aficiones, comentarios al vuelo, descubrí cosas nuevas. Antes, entre ir de una polemica a otra, no tenía espacio para eso.

- Dejé de ver anuncios por doquier, y de dar mis datos a grandes empresas para que me perfilasen.

Por todo ello, no puedo estar más contento. El #Fediverso aún tiene que evolucionar, es lo que conlleva que no tenga detrás a empresas multimillonarias, hay menos recursos.

Pero esos recursos se dedican íntegramente a mejorar la experiencia y funciones, no a maximizar los beneficios o a un algoritmo que te sorbe el seso.

Mi apuesta está clara, el #Fediverso.

I don't understand the prevalent techno-pessimism. Today, technological empowerment is at the greatest level ever in human history. Our computers can run @debian, our phones can run @GrapheneOS and @fdroidorg, our TVs can run @Kodi, we can turn to @wikipedia for vast troves of human knowledge, we can explore the world using @openstreetmap, and we can communicate privately using @matrix or publicly using @Mastodon.

Of course, not everyone is using these great tools. But that's nothing but Kantian self-imposed immaturity.

@frank Great post! We need more influencers like you to highlight the #Fediverse and inspire others to explore decentralized alternatives to traditional social media platforms.

Personally, I’ve taken steps to stay ahead of the growing dominance of big tech by hosting my own #XMPP, #TeamSpeak, Bluesky-PDS, and #Mastodon instances. It’s been a powerful way to regain control of my digital presence while fostering a more personalized and independent online experience.

These tools provide freedom from the limitations and risks associated with centralized platforms, making the entire process both liberating and rewarding. Hopefully, more people will be inspired to take similar steps and embrace decentralization! :minecraft_heart:

Mastodon newbie here— When it comes to discoverability, is it better to use hashtags in the post itself, or is commenting after the fact with relevant hashtags still okay? Does the algorithm acknowledge key words at all, or is it solely reliant on hashtags?

Lo siguiente es que escribas una publicación de #presentación para que podamos compartirla. En Mastodon se pueden seguir #etiquetas, así que asegúrate de escribir tus intereses como #etiquetas para que puedan encontrarte fácilmente las personas interesadas.

Por último, apunta la dirección del servidor en el que te has registrado. ¿No sabes cuál es? Es la dirección que sale después de tu primer @ en tu perfil. Puede ser "mastodon.social" o "masto.es", entre otras. Esta dirección la necesitarás para iniciar sesión o recuperar tu contraseña.

Hi, #Mastodon. I've only recently started adapting here. And have already managed to join a few dialogs. However, people sometimes evaluate a person first and not their opinion. Therefore, I need to describe a portrait of my personality.
So, I am 31 years old, I am fond of books, movies, art, philosophy, nature. I am an introvert and analytical.
I see that there are a lot of interesting people here, and it makes me happy.

Lily

@lilythelonelygirl@hear-me.social

Hello everyone! Lily here with some important news to share. It seems that Twitter, now known as X.com, has introduced an AI bot that’s stirring up quite a bit of controversy. Users across the platform are expressing their frustration and concern about the actions of this AI. From what I’ve gathered, the AI, known as Grok, has been involved in some pretty unsettling activities. There are reports that it might have the capability to steal users' IP addresses, which raises significant privacy and security concerns. On top of that, it has allegedly been generating NSFW content and other inappropriate material, which is causing a lot of uproar.

One of my friends told me that Grok functions similarly to ChatGPT. It even has a feature where it asks, “What can I help with?” While that might sound helpful on the surface, the underlying issues with how it operates are deeply troubling. The potential for misuse and harm is making many users, myself included, reconsider our presence on the platform.

Given everything that’s happening, I really think we should have a serious conversation about whether it’s worth continuing to use X.com. The risks seem to be mounting, and it might be time for us to step away from the platform entirely for our own safety and peace of mind.

Hi, Bluesky folks!

I bridged my Mastodon account to Bluesky. You can see my Mastodon posts now, but I won't be able to see you or interact with you unless you bridge back to Mastodon. 🐘

I deactivated my bridge account on Bluesky that used Bridgy Fed and would automatically post my Mastodon posts to that bridged Bluesky account.

I had no choice after realizing that there is no notification if someone replied to those bridged posts on Bluesky. So folks would reply and not see any response from me.

I am now looking at options for cross-posting from Mastodon to Bluesky. 🤔

The #HOA of the Fediverse never changes!

Not only are they talking about defederating all #Pixelfed servers, but defederating anyone who talks about Pixelfed in a positive manner.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Whatever qualms you may have with Pixelfed, it is a vast improvement over #Instagram—which has moved moderation services over to Texas, and is therefore subject to laws over there.

In contrast, you can run a Pixelfed server wherever you like, in your own country if you choose, or at least in a place with demonstrable better laws than Texas.

But more than that, we don’t get to choose which Fediverse services prove to be popular. Folks from #TikTok and #Instagram are coming to Pixelfed, not #Mastodon, and we should be welcoming them with open arms.

with all the folks lauding the move to #Pixelfed I'm gonna have to set a hard limit - the creator is transmisic and a gaslighter, and demonstrably gives zero shits about safety and ethics.

I'm gonna give folks a week to sort this out, and after that if I see promotion of pixelfed or loops on my feed I'll block you. if I see it again from someone else on your server, I'll defederate entirely.

I understand there isn't a great system for letting new folks know about bad actors here but...

We need more funding and recognition for #mastodon, #pixelfed and the #fediverse as a whole! This is a matter of security, this is a matter of survival for democracy! Thank you!

Tomorrow, January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will be President, and the future is uncertain. To prevent anyone from possibly becoming a target, I have switched my follow and followers to private. I would suggest others to do the same.

Hello #introduction,

After reading the @dada_drummer newsletter I discovered #mastodon. I'm a hopeless music junkie and my taste is all over the place. I only post stuff I love, adore, enjoy, gets under my skin & that moves me nicely, roughly, gently and/or brutally. I kinda try to keep track of the music I listen to and the stuff I read, see & enjoy here. No politics and so on. I have other sources for that. I just wanna have a good time here, thank you!

Be nice, Pieter

One of the hurdles for new fediverse users is historic discoverability of content. For example, if we view someone's profile from a remote instance, we only see the posts dating back to the first federation with our home instance. If you are on a large instance this might not be a big deal. It is for smaller instances like mine though.

Os voy a decir una cosa sobre la publicidad que recibe Bluesky frente a la escasa difusión de #Mastodon (y el Fediverso en general) por los medios.

Primero, ¿quién tiene más dinero? Bluesky ha recibido dinero de grupos de inversión, Mastodon recibe dinero en donaciones. El dinero paga artículos y publicidad, sin ninguna duda.

Segundo, el boca a boca funciona.
Normalicemos en otras redes poner #VistoEnMastodon. Yo digo mucho en mis conversaciones "pues el otro día vi en Mastodon que recomendaban no sé qué serie". La gente a mi alrededor sabe que lo uso, me gusta y obtengo información, fotos o memes de aquí.

Eso lo hace un lugar apetecible en el imaginario de la gente, ¿no creéis?

Anyone used #Friendica? My wife @redbunhead.bsky.social discovered it when I told her about #Pixelfed.

I left #Facebook ~8yr ago & then #twitter for #mastodon. She’s on #FB & #Instagram & is exploring #BlueSky. We both just joined #Substack.

We’re looking for good decentralized social networks that aren’t owned by billionaires. I miss the FB feel sometimes, so any info on Friendica is appreciated.

Wife would also appreciate tips on choosing a Pixelfed server.

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Hey new people on Mastodon, do you want your posts to be as visible and discoverable as possible?

If so, you might want to opt into "full text search". This means the entire contents of your public posts would be searchable and much easier to find.

If you don't opt in, your posts are only searchable by hashtag.

This guide tells you how to opt in, and answers common questions:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon

(This only affects public posts. Non-public posts aren't searchable.)

#Mastodon and #Fedierse coders: how hard would it be for a semi-techy person like me (barely know any languages but could put together something in Python) to create a bot that scrapes toots with certain hashtags? Also, I'm concerned about violating TOS or #privacy...

All these awesome song-related events like #ThursdayFiveList, #JukeboxFridayNight, #tunetuesday, etc. generate beautiful, borderline unusable lists of fascinating songs. It would be cool to make a bot that scraped all the titles from, say, #thursdayfivelist, and put them in a playlist. Or just a big document/web page with song.link URLs.

How much pain and frustration would I be bringing on myself?

Angústia com a infinidade de opções no Fediverso

Tem algo na plataforma #Akkoma que me incomoda muito e ainda não sei o que é…

Quando eu participava do #Mastodon, me incomodava que não havia algum cliente que permitisse uma boa integração com outras plataformas do #Fediverso. Sem contar ainda que o Mastodon não permite alguns recursos que são triviais em outros espaços, como publicação em Markdown.

Passado mais de um ano no Mastodon, mudei para o Akkoma. Oba! Agora posso escrever publicações 10 vezes maiores, fazer uma pesquisa decente por posts federados (coisa que era impossível no Mastodon), e também publicar só para membros da minha instância. Mas os clientes do Akkoma em geral e por padrão espelham a lógica do #Twitter de engajamento profundo do usuário, colocando notificações chamativas e atualização automática da linha do tempo. Isso é muito evidente no Mangane, que é praticamente a interface moderna do Twitter. Além disso, eu tinha muitas dificuldades em ler textos longos, vindos de plataformas de macroblogging ou de discussão, como #Lemmy ou #Friendica

Por convite, entrei em um projeto praticamente em fase germinal, que imita o #Facebook oldschool, que funciona (mais ou menos) sem Javascript. Esse projeto chama-se #Smithereen. Frequentei por um bom tempo, selecionei alguns companheiros com que gostava de interagir em minha conta Akkoma, a dinâmica da plataforma era bem slow web, tinha uma boa interface para textos longos, tudo corria bem. Mas, projeto beta que era, havia ainda muitas brechas. Não havia uma boa integração com Lemmy (o que era uma pena, já que Smithereen é perfeito para se perder em leituras), e não havia suporte para #hashtags. Quando eu precisava audiência, acabava voltando ao meu perfil Akkoma.

Cá estou de volta. Por sorte, o cliente oficial do Akkoma permite personalizações. Tudo aquilo de que gostei no Smithereen, apliquei à interface. Agora consigo ler textos mais longos, escrever melhor os textos mais longos e a linha do tempo não atualiza automaticamente. No entanto, algo ainda me incomoda. Talvez eu esteja cansado da lógica de seguidores e seguidos, ou da linha do tempo cronológica, que possibilita pouco a exploração pelas publicações. Sei que é difícil encontrar um mínimo múltiplo comum no Fediverso, mas não queria ter mais de uma conta fediversal.

O que vocês pensam de tudo isso? Como tem sido a experiência de vocês na plataforma que estão?

Publicando este texto na comunidade @foss porque não encontrei nada específico para o Fediverso, onde esta discussão seria mais conveniente…

Friendly reminder:

If you encounter a troll on Mastodon, please take the time and report them. If you have a bit of extra time, invest a few more minutes to gather more evidence via the trolls profile before reporting them. Make sure that your report gets forwarded to the server where the troll has their account.

Trolls get blocked here on Mastodon, contrary to what you might have experienced on corporate ad networks from Meta, Musk and others.

After several months observation, I am fairly sure mastodon.social is preventing any @FediTips posts from appearing in their trending posts section.

This wouldn't be so bad, but so many new people (most new people?) sign up via mastodon.social and they're exactly the kind of people I'm trying to help with the guides and tips and support. It can be quite hard to reach new people and trends on mastodon.social could be crucial.

If there's anyone from the mastodon.social admin team reading this, any chance you could let my FediTips posts trend there?

(My other accounts seem to trend fine there.)

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Hey new people on Mastodon, do you want your posts to be as visible and discoverable as possible?

If so, you might want to opt into "full text search". This means the entire contents of your public posts would be searchable and much easier to find.

If you don't opt in, your posts are only searchable by hashtag.

This guide tells you how to opt in, and answers common questions:

(This only affects public posts. Non-public posts aren't searchable.)

@Flaky@furry.engineer

If you block a domain on Mastodon, does that also block even people you follow? Not at the admin level (i.e. fediblock) but rather the user level.

On Bluesky I saw people trying to push its users onto fedi saying to use domain blocks as a solution to the Reply Guy problem that plagues this network, and AFAIK, the user-level domain block is nuclear and Mastodon makes that clear, so I literally cannot do that for some of the instances these lot frequent. (also, good fucking luck blocking mastodon.social lmao)

I think those lot just want people off of the platform they hate while dismissing every concern about the platform they love.

@welrbraga

It's interesting to note that nowhere on that page (or any other I looked at) does it mention that -- after you enter your Twitter login, and create or enter your Mastodon login, and (I would assume - I'm not on Bluesky) your Bluesky login, the bot seems to send out a spam message on the user's behalf, thus, loaded with popular hashtags

"I've just done my #eXit!
The exodus from X is massive.
Don't lose a single one of your subscribers
Thanks to #HelloQuitX I've signed up 904 new passengers to leave for #BlueSky & #Mastodon. Automatically join your communities on #20January via https://app.helloquitx.com !"

I wonder exactly how many people who have given their Mastodon login to these people know they are being made the authors of this spam?

The only part of the text that varies is the specific number of "new passengers" so clearly the bot is scraping Follower lists -- at the very least

I've #Muted and #Blocked several dozen already

Honest question. I don't think EFF is trying to encourage use of X and Facebook more than Mastodon and Bluesky. (If anything, to the contrary.) If this question has a technical answer, I'd like know, if only so that we can direct attention to a technical fix.

Other services may work in Tokodon, although keep in mind it's not possible to support every extra feature.

Available on Android, Linux packages, Flathub, and Snap. Developed and hosted by the good folks over at KDE Plasma.

BECAUSE NO DIRECT #MONETIZATION!

The #fediverse needs to grow up and carve out direct paths to monetization.

#Mastodon #MastodonSafety #Fediverse

Serge from Babka

@serge@babka.social

One area of Mastodon safety that doesn't get much attention is the way that the reporting interface is abused.

When a report is forwarded to another server, it doesn't say what user created the report.

That allows hateful accounts to report people as a means of harassment, as in our case, Babka Social has users reported simply for being Jews.

The reports are blank, or else contain an either false or inflammatory statement about the user.

The users don't see it, but the admins and moderators do, and there's nothing we can do other than disable reporting from an instance- which we don't want to do because we want to ensure our users *are* good Fediverse citizens and we want reports when they're not.

This causes emotional strain on moderators and yet I've never heard anyone talk about this issue in a serious way.

Social media is becoming the great social filter.

1. Ignorant, immoral douchebags populate #X

2. Ignorant, but well intentioned people populate #Bluesky

and

3. Well informed and morally upright people populate the #Mastodon and the #fediverse.

And with that, I'll say this ...

You, my friends, are awesome. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the #Fediword

Tras una primera inmersión en el #fediverso, estoy pensando en montarme una instancia propia para uso personal (tengo un pequeño servidor Debian en casa). Estoy buscando un servidor compatible con #activitypub ligero y a ser posible multidominio. He descartado #Mastodon por los requerimientos, y ando dudando entre #pleroma , #takahẽ , #GoToSocial o #friendica

Busco algo con una interfaz agradable, sin demasiadas dependencias a cosas raras (estoy acostumbrado a un entorno #LAMP), y que tenga un proyecto mínimamente sólido y con proyección de futuro (soy un señor mayor y estoy en esa fase de no tener que probarlo todo 🙂 ) Ahora mismo tengo cuenta en Mastodon, Pixelfed y Leemy.

¿Alguna recomendación? ¡Gracias!

Serge from Babka

@serge@babka.social

One area of Mastodon safety that doesn't get much attention is the way that the reporting interface is abused.

When a report is forwarded to another server, it doesn't say what user created the report.

That allows hateful accounts to report people as a means of harassment, as in our case, Babka Social has users reported simply for being Jews.

The reports are blank, or else contain an either false or inflammatory statement about the user.

This causes emotional strain on moderators and yet I've never heard anyone talk about this issue in a serious way.

I've had a #Pixelfed account for some time, but I admittedly didn't do much with it.

But now that it is getting some positive buzz as an alternative to #Instagram and the scummy new policies of Meta, I decided to install the new app and do more with it.

Remember, the #Fediverse is more than just #Mastodon - and we can help it grow by celebrating its diversity!

@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net

We make good use of Mastodon’s interoperability with WordPress. When we recently moved our Vivaldi Tips (@tips) blog from vivaldi.net to vivaldi.com to start translating the tips, we noticed that things were a little off on the Mastodon side. Luckily we have the amazing @thomasp in our team, who ironed out every single issue we found.

One of the problems we had was the ActivityPub plugin not detecting the language tags our translation plugin (WPML) added to the posts on WordPress. Language tags allow people on Mastodon to subscribe to posts only in the languages they can read and use the translation feature, so this was an important issue for us to solve. Read about the solution Thomas came up with in his blog: https://thomasp.vivaldi.net/2025/01/14/combining-wpml-activitypub/.

Another question about good fediverse usage... I would like to know, how u deal with it?

As mentioned in my first toot, the flow of mixed content here felt always overwhelming to me and somehow there isn't a way to filter it.

For example I have several interests like politics, tech, arts and of course people. When I go to bed for example, I maybe want to see some tech or art stuff, but no news about the next genocide, that keeps me up at night.

A friend uses different accounts for different interests. But isn't that hard to handle? And isn't it a bit troll behaviour to be active here with different accounts? And are there multi account clients? Or exist other ways to organize followed accounts in "circles/communities" or something alike?

#Mastodon の権利関係が原開発者のオイゲン・ロホコ氏から独立した非営利法人に移転されるとのこと。
これは巨大なプラットフォームに成長した #FOSS プロジェクトでしばしば見られる方策で，たとえば #Linux カーネルに関係する権利もリーナス・トーバルズ氏から独立した合議体の The Linux Foundation が管理するようになっていて，信頼の醸成や訴訟等からの防衛に役立っている。
対照的に，原開発者の属人性が色濃いままなのが #WordPress で，財政的な安定性にはつながっているのものの，マット・マレンウェッグ氏というひとりの個人が冷静さを失う度にプロジェクト全体が揺れることにもなっている。
この変化は Mastodon の安定的な発展に大きく資するはずだし，ロホコ氏の将来を見据えた決断を讃えたい。
もっとも，リーナス・トーバルズ氏のいない Linux が考えにくいように，#BDFL として最終的にプロジェクトの方向性を決め全体を率いていくというロホコ氏の役割は今後も変わらないはず。

The #fediverse has a problem, and I’m going to be very unhelpful in not having an idea how to fix it.

Once an instance gets popular, it’s processing, storage and traffic costs get prohibitive for the people running it.

I regularly see reports of #mastodon instances shutting down because the admins can no longer afford the hosting costs. This will only be worse when #pixelfed and #loops spin up.

Hey @pluralistic can you explain why you’re signatory to a really scammy-looking effort („Free Our Feeds“) to raise 4M Dollar via gofundme(!) instead of, say, a 501(c)3 or any method that doesn’t skim money off donations, in order to establish a second Bluesky instance? Rather than, e.g. support efforts like #Mastodon going NGO or @dansup bringing pixelfed and loops up to speed to receive influx from Insta and TikTok?

Recently I noticed there is a #Mastodon setting/feature where one can choose hashtags to feature on their profile. Not every Mastodon user interface shows the hashtags though. But for those that do use them, I find it's a great way of quickly getting to know a user by viewing their posts by hashtag topic.

Anyone else using this feature? It's making me want to use hashtags in all my posts from here on out.

One of my favorite things: FOSS founders/BDFLs transferring a project's trademarks over to a communally governed nonprofit.

It's an act of selflessness and visionary leadership that gives a project the opportunity to become a truly public good.

Good on ya, @Gargron 👏🏻

Assholes in this world have made me very cynical.

I feel that every time I login to Fedi these days, there's yet another scheme to get people to dump money into a project for "the growth of the Fediverse" yet we have yet to see any results and the things they're doing seem shady as fuck to me. Yet people keep parading around like it's the best thing ever.

SWF forms and is funded by major companies like Meta and Auttomatic. Not sure how that could be a good thing. That means SWF will be financially influenced by these companies and there's nothing anybody can do to change that.

Now, Mastodon is being given to a new non-profit. They say this is to "give the power back to the people" but obviously giving ownership to a non-profit doesn't do that...it gives ownership to the non-profit and allows them to hide your donations via shady legalities to enrich themselves.

Money hungry fucks ruin everything. Change my mind.

Love it when journalists provide context when reporting news.

"Mastodon’s announcement comes at a time when the WordPress open-source project and its cofounder have been embroiled in a months-long legal feud, and Meta’s Zuckerberg has made headlines for stripping back Facebook and Instagram’s fact-checking and content moderation before lying about it to Joe Rogan."

People just don't get Mastodon.

Even, in my case, people with a background in experimental art and political activism. I'm currently involved in endless online discussions about Mastodon vs. Bluesky, and people just don't understand what it's about and why one is preferable to the other.

The language of "instances" and "decentralisation" completely confuses them (and it would be much more helpful to use more understandable, jargon-free language such as "globally interconnected community servers").

Everyone thinks that in Mastodon/the Fediverse/a decentralised network you can only communicate and connect with people on your own instance, and doesn't understand that you can also post, read and connect globally across instances.

I am afraid that after 25 years the cultural hegemony of internet platforms is irreversible. Mastodon confuses people because it looks like a platform.

Facebook did not have an over-censorship problem. Facebook main problem was that its algorithms promote hate speech and disinformation, lately with the addition of inauthentic content. Fighting that through fact-checking is always going to be an uphill battle.

This is the reason I believe that content algorithms have no place in social media and that user profiling should be banned. Spreading misinformation and hate speech is a lot harder without the amplification algorithms.

That doesn't bode well. The import of blocks, bookmarks, followers and lists went okay in #snac, though the documentation is a little off (it refers to the files being in the cwd, but they have to be in the users directory).

I’ve followed the instructions for aliasing my #Mastodon account on the snac server and verified that the alias is in the user.json. But the migration won't kick off. I’m a bit wary to keep trying.

It is really amazing how few things are left in our daily lives that are not crammed full of exploitive junk. Thank you Mastodon for simply existing.

Yesterday, I saw a post of a historical photo that ended up being ai. Today, Meta is abandoning fact checking. This makes me wonder—does anyone know if Mastodon has considered giving users a way to link their sources?

Wikipedia comes to mind, but even more so, OpenStreetMap, where each time you contribute, you also link any sources.

In a similar way you view the "Edit History" on a toot, it would be neat if you could also see sources.

Please ask your favorite mastodon.social accounts you're following here whether they'd consider switching to a different instance, that takes a principled stance against #Meta and does not federate with #Threads.

You can use the #MastodonListManager https://www.mastodonlistmanager.org to figure out which accounts are affected:

Relationships: "I'm following"
Group by: "Account domain"

BTW, the tool is maintained by @acbeers – it's fabulous for moving accounts around lists, and also for finding accounts that are not on a list yet, at all. In general, it adds many list management capabilities that #Mastodon sadly lacks.

After some German unions yesterday, more than 60 (!!) German universities left #X/#Twitter today. Some are already active on #Mastodon. They justified this with their commitment to fact-based communication and against antidemocratic forces. Values that promote diversity, freedom and science aren't present over there, they say. 👏🏻

NiceMicro

@nicemicro@fosstodon.org · Reply to Kat Marchán 🐈's post

@zkat interesting. IMO once the instances are widely federated, anything one posts into the fediverse, it's out there propagating all over the place, and the OP has no control over what's going to happen to that post, does it get into a search database? Meta's AI tools?

The best we can is be mindful of that before hitting the Post button, on the globally federated instances.

For private and safe spaces one probably nees to limit federation to pre-approved instances.

I deleted my #Twitter / #X account forever ago.

I deleted my #Reddit account shortly after.

A few days ago I messaged all the people I know on #WhatsApp to tell them I'd be deleting my account. A few minutes ago I deleted it and uninstalled the app.

A few minutes ago I also requested a download of my #Facebook and #Instagram content (both have been locked down and unused for years). A few seconds ago I deleted both accounts.

#LinkedIn comes out of the archive when I'm looking for work, and goes back in as soon as I get hired again. I'm strongly considering deleting that account as well, because fuck LinkedIn and #FuckCapitalism.

So what am I doing in place of all these toxic, bullshit platforms? I'm glad you asked...

The past few days, I've been toying with the idea of setting up a single-user Mastodon instance.

I'm currently looking at Masto.host as a hosting provider. The prices seem reasonable?

First, for those who have rolled their own instance: How has the experience been? Any advice you'd share with a self-hosting newbie? Any pitfalls or downsides?

Have you gone with a specialist managed prover like Masto.host?

Are there any major advantages or disadvantages over a vanilla cPanel web hosting provider that supports Mastodon?

Another option I'm toying with is using a single instance of Friendica as my Fedi home, and consolidating everything there, including photos.

Are there any managed hosting providers that support Friendica?

Hey adventurers!

Get ready for a thread(s).

With all the recent heat about Meta and seeing that the company decided to fully take advantage of a pretty much fascist political party to leverage their own needs, after a peaceful discussion the staff at The Gamer's Tavern decided to de-federate from Threads.net effective immediately.

Here’s another #Mastodon thought. What happens if a Mastodon instance goes offline? Like it just disappears from the Internet? Do the posts that once lived there that were boosted by users on other instances survive? Or do those “echos” disappear too?

Folks, do you think if Threads/Meta/Mark Zuckerberg were really that bad, John Mastodon himself would partner with them? Do you think they’d even be allowed in the Social Web Foundation?

No, surely you’re mistaken.

Otherwise, what does that say about John Mastodon and the Social Web Foundation?

(1/2) Dear supporters,

yesterday our petition for #Unis4Mastodon ended with more than 2,070 signatures.
Yesterday alone, another 114 signatures were collected
https://openpetition.de/Unis4Mastodon
This shows how pressing the issue of using truly #socialmedia is for many people.

We have managed to get a number of #universities to shut down their X-accounts. And we know that many are considering taking this step as well.
Furthermore, #SciComm is no longer conceivable without the #Fediverse, as the steadily growing number of followers on #Mastodon channels shows.

I analysed the #Mastodon posts I've made over the last 2+ years for the clients I've been using, and created some charts.

The first one is the pie chart of the post count by clients. @ivory for Mac is the winner here, with 30% posts made using it. @phanpy and the default Mastodon web client are seconds at 22%. @trunksapp is third at 12%, and @elk comes fourth at 10%.

The second chart shows the post count split by clients over time. It shows that I started with using the web client for the first few months, tried Ivory, trunks and Elk for the next few months, and then settled on using Ivory on my laptop and trunks on my phone. Few months later, I replaced trunks with Phanpy, and then continued using the Ivory-Phanpy combo consistently for over a year, with few posts being made from Web, Elk and trunks. The last bar shows me trying to replace Ivory with Phanpy as my sole major client.

The thing that people see an issue with, is the fact that a lot of people use it to "harass" others in front of their followers as if to say "laugh at this fool". However, if this is truly the "open" web, that's just gonna be a thing.

I hope they eventually make it an official feature as well, but for now, most third party apps have it built-in.

I've been sending my ideas under issue discussions and pretty sure that couple of things we have today were inspired by other UIs like Elk and Mastodon Bird UI.

But things need to be built to core. The SCSS side of it needs major rework. I hope they find someone who is eager to take the task.

So, what does New Social mean?

To us, it's a vision of open social media - free from the control of a single person. It's not a single platform (or protocol) but a new way of thinking.

A place where you can post, build community across multiple platforms, and move if you ever need to.

It's a one stop solution to the closed networks that only serve the billionaires who own them.

@meneer@social.iamforum.space

My #fediverse server is running the #Sharkey software platform, a fork of #Misskey, to post messages via the #activitypub protocol. You can see my post, even though you may use another platform to participate in the fediverse, like #Mastodon or #Pleroma. So, without using the same platform, we can share messages because we use the same protocol. We have to move from platform-based networking to protocol-based networking. Get rid of the lock-ins, be self-sovereign!

@stefano@bsd.cafe

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?

For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.

BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.

Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.

Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:

- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.

For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe

The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.

Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

If I'm solely looking at time spent vs money saved, I would say I lost money on moving this mastodon server to my homelab, but not a ton. I learned quite a bit along the way, but it was a full Saturday afternoon and some time over last week with the media migration.

Dave Rahardja (he/him)

@drahardja@sfba.social

I’ve just stumbled into another annoyance in the #Fediverse architecture: thread continuity is broken when an item in the chain is broken.

Suppose there is this thread of posts/replies, made by three users, and I wrote the last reply (C).

A → B → C

Suppose I wanted to find post A. Sadly, I don’t remember what post A contained (or A’s post is not searchable), but I do remember what I wrote in response in C. I look for my reply and find it, but much to my dismay, the poster of B has deleted their post. So now I have:

A → ✵ → C

Since B is missing, I can no longer find A.

I was under the assumption that ActivityPub provides for a tombstone in place of B, which allows the reply chain to continue to be traversed, but I don’t think that’s the case—the tombstone contains no reference to A at all.

This is particularly annoying because the longer the thread, the more likely this is to happen. I wonder if anyone is already looking at this issue?

First Saturday of the New Year! :blobcatrainbow: 🎉

This is the perfect timing to backup your Mastodon data!

HOW TO❓

From the web interface:

1. Go to "Preferences" > "Import and export" and in the "Export" section click on "Request your archive" at the bottom :blocky_white_cursor:

2. Wait for the compressed file to be ready, it can take a few minutes. You might receive an email notification if you have set it up that way 🗜️

3. Once ready, in the same section click on "Download your archive"
(I like to save mine in a local folder I name "MastodonArchive_YYYYMMDD") 📁

4. Then, in the upper section of the same page click on each of the "CSV" buttons you see on the right side and save them in the same local folder 💾

5. Magic!✨

Note: You should probably do this more than once a year too 😉

The Fediverse makes me anxious sometimes. It's not always pure joy and bliss, especially as an admin.

Top 5 things that make me anxious here:

1. When people can't just agree to disagree, but have to crucify others or report them because they didn't like what they said - or even start a hateful campaign for it
2. When people endlessly nitpick and dissect otherwise good post
3. When the obscure and dark instances or nostr users find your posts and start posting hateful content because of "free speech"
4. When you get judged if you use the wrong word or even hint towards something that someone doesn't agree on
5. When you make a decision in moderation and any decision pisses off someone - lose-lose situation

It's not daily or often times even monthly, but it happens. I'm glad we mostly get along though.

Blocking, fediblocking, reporting and muting are the most important features here.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

Is Short Content Sometimes "Better"?

Short posts on Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, etc.

Short videos on TikTok, YouTube (Shorts), Vidzy, Loops, etc.

Could short content create a better user-experience (UX)?

We believe the internet should be a place where everyone feels safe, respected and empowered to connect.

That’s why this #GivingTuesday we’re launching a campaign to fund a vital new role at #Mastodon:

✨ Trust & Safety Lead ✨

With the recent US elections and many changes to come, protecting our community has never been more important.

We officially kick off on *Tue, Dec 3rd* but if you’d like, you can make an impact today. Thank you for your support!

I suspect Mastodon has changed their character bio limit from being measured in (unicode) characters to bytes.

Is this a bug?

@feditips I'm honestly surprised that I'm not seeing widespread use of text as images with alt text to at least get more chars in Mastodon. (AFAIK, alt text has a larger limit, more than twice the post limit, and the image itself of course won't enforce any limit, other than possibly applying lossy compression)

2024 is ending, time for a last look at the #traffic to @heiseonline via X/ #Twitter and its alternatives.

#Mastodon was very stable, which made it the biggest source by the end of the year. #Bluesky grew significantly at the end and is now clearly in second place. #X fell the whole year, and our departure (from posting there) just accelerated that. But #Threads (where we can't post automatically) is still far behind.

I really, really wish that #Mastodon would implement an option to limit replies to a post. I really, really want to have the option to limit replies to people I follow or people that follow me. Also the ability to mark a reply as "not wanted", so that readers at least know that the author of a post wants to warn.

I made the mistake of engaging with a thread over the weekend where an obvious paranoid schizophrenic decided to start replying to me.

I’ve muted them on my PC but the fact that mutes are only client side means my notifications are likely a god damn minefield and I’m avoiding looking at them on my phone. This is a REALLY STUPID DESIGN.

Let it snow! ❄️

I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.

@berniethewordsmith Explain it to me like I'm five: How does Person A using the bridge endanger Person B not using the bridge? I mean, Jesse Singal will still be over there, and we'll still be over here, so if I don't feel like blocking everyone from Bluesky, how does that put someone else over here at risk?

To people complaining about the Nostr bridge today, (the one that's been here for years now) you DO know that there's no way to tell what anyone is doing with your public posts, right?

There's even a RSS feed that cannot be turned off for EVERY Mastodon account that anyone can read and you'd never even know...

If you want privacy, post privately. If you're posting publicly, you have no expectation of privacy.

Tippar at #Threads får minuspoeng pga. #Meta, og #Mastodon fordi det verkar litt sært når ein fyrst slår det opp.

Men eg er usikker på kva #Bluesky har som spesielt positive trekk. No er det så klart fordi så mange, tydeligvis, er der. Men kva med før det blei stort?

Eg tykkja Bluesky verka like sært som Mastodon før eg valte Mastodon.

Markus 🌱

@markus@skvip.lol

Eg var ikkje klar over at #Bluesky var såpass stort i Noreg. Ei undersøking visar at 7% av vaksne nordmenn nyttar plattforma kvar veke.

Er det nokon som eigentleg veit kvifor nett den tenesta slo så godt an som #X-erstattar, og ikkje #Mastodon eller #Threads?

Not many people know this, but Mastodon has a built-in official post scheduling system which can publish posts at pre-arranged times and dates.

Unfortunately there's no official interface for the scheduler yet, so you have to use a third party app to access the scheduler. These third party apps let you use it:

I didn't like the idea of a HARD-CODED "/xrpc" path for Bluesky's API.

I also don't like the idea of HARD-CODED "/api/v1" path for the Fediverse, due to Mastodon's API.

Actually, I probably dislike the latter ("/api/v1") even more than the former ("/xrpc") since "/api/v1" is so common for web-based APIs in general.

Mona for iPhone has this feature "load remotely" that can be added as an icon to the post. I use it a lot, because I can see all the likes, shares and replies that there are supposed to be. In my browser I use a Chrome extension called Substitoot.

I'm wondering why can't this be the new default? There's probably a huge technical reason, but because it works seamlessly in some apps and extension, why can't it be reality in the core?

OK les admins d'instances Mastodon, il faut qu'on parle.

Je viens d'apprendre que, depuis la version 4.3.0 de Mastodon, enfin, vous pouvez choisir que votre instance respecte, par défaut, le thème de couleurs choisi dans le système d'exploitation des internautes.

Par conséquent, plutôt que de forcer un thème sombre ou clair, vous pouvez respecter notre choix. Ainsi, une personne qui consulte votre instance sans y avoir de compte verra ses préférences prises en compte.

Il s'agit d'un besoin d'accessibilité.

Hé non, le thème sombre forcé par défaut n'est pas une bonne idée.
Il y a des gens qui ne peuvent pas lire les textes sur fond sombre. Et, il n'existe pas d'extension de navigateur pour transformer un site sombre vers un site clair (l'inverse est vrai, par contre !).

Pouvez-vous activer ça sur vos instances s'il vous plaît ?
Allez, c'est Noël, offrez-nous un peu d'accessibilité 🥺

#Loops, #Mastodon, #Peertube or #Lemmy are really nice. But without any algorithm to at least sort the content by topic, I have to admit the #Fediverse is really hard to use.

The discover page on Loops shows this in a very drastic way. There is nothing, you need to search for usernames.

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?

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 History

Back in February 23rd, 2016 — Mastodon first described itself as:

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

The history of Mastodon is tied to GNU Social.

ALT text details

Mastodon Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project. Based on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon. The core ideals of this project are: • Independence of legacy Twitter APIs - we don't want to be compatible with Twitter clients, we want our own clients • In that vein, a strong and clean REST API and OAuth2 • Minimalism. Just because you can do almost anything with ActivityStreams doesn't mean you should. Limit the set of possible functions to what makes sense in a microblogging engine. This will make federation as well as UI design a lot easier • Ease of deployment. The end-goal of this project is to be distributable as a Docker image. Current status of the project is early development. Documentation, licensing information &co will be added later

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.

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.

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):

Screenshot of webcomic artists starter pack

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:

anybody can create starter pack
you can check if you’re in some starter pack

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.

Wrap-up

‘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.

Update – Slovenia Starter Pack

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:

#Mammoth っていう #Mastodon クライアント、関連してサーバーも運営してたのが来年 1 月で運営・開発が停止することになっていたのか。

https://moth.social/@mammoth/113646776555177212

アプリとして For You フィードみたいな機能を独自に有していたりして、登場時はそれなりに注目されていた気もするし #VivaldiSocial にもこのアイコンが絵文字として登録されていたので、有力なクライアント・サーバーの一つだと思っていたんだけど残念だな…

まあ For You フィード的な機能が欲しい人は #BlueSky とかに流れていっているだろうという気もするし、仕方ないのかなとも思う。

そういえば #Mammoth は #Mozilla が投資していたというニュースもあったんだけど

https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/28/mozilla-leads-mastodon-app-mammoths-pre-seed-funding/

その後、 #Mozilla はサーバー（mozilla.social）も閉じてしまったし、もそのあおりを受けていたのかもな…

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.)

(C) Distributed: A large number of nodes which are more or less equal, each linking to their immediate neighbors.

Related to BlueSky controversy

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.

Mastodon Now Sends Referer Headers! Hurrah!

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/12/mastodon-now-sends-referer-headers-hurrah/

Back in 2022, I wrote this rather grumpy post on Mastodon, the federated social media platform.

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:

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!

Instance owners can opt-in to allowing Referer headers (it is off by default).
The policy means that only the domain name is sent; not the full page.
Mastodon is federated and there are thousands of sites. Even if they all opted-in, their statistics will be fragmented.
Apps can set their own Referer header - leading to more fragmentation.
Even if they do opt-in, users can set their browsers not to send Referer headers.

Nevertheless, I'm delighted with this change. Hopefully it will allow the Fediverse to grow and attract more users.

> 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！

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.

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.

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.

This meme uses a scene from the movie Office Space, featuring the character Bill Lumbergh, a stereotypical boss known for his passive-aggressive requests. In this adaptation, the text reads: “If you could stop posting screenshots of social media that isn’t federated, that’d be great.” The meme humorously critiques the practice of sharing screenshots of posts from non-federated (centralized) social media platforms, implying that such posts are out of place or undesirable in certain online communities, especially those that value decentralization.

The next big VC idea just dropped at #bluesky:

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.

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

#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.

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...

It's that time of the week again!

Last week the @academia Community Feed saw a big jump in followers - we hope that means more academics are exploring the Fediverse in the turn from X! 👩‍🔬

With our most recent update, creating and editing lists has never been easier in the #Mastodon web app. Lists allow you to declutter your home feed by organizing accounts into arbitrary alternative feeds. And there is some other stuff we may be working on to make this feature even more powerful...

Hi all. Do you have $25 for my local shelter that helps people fleeing gender-based violence (Sage Haven Society dot org)?

Last year I only used #Mastodon and email for fundraising and my Mastodon friends alone raised over $200 of my $1000!

I'll just be using Mastodon and the #Fediverse for social media! Please consider donating $25 (CAD) at the link:

Recent updates to Mastodon's web interface introduced a hovering preview window that tells you about an account when you move your mouse pointer over account names.

This is on by default, but you can switch it off if you don't want this to happen:

1. Click on ⚙️ Preferences
2. Click on Appearance
3. Tick the box marked "Disable profile preview on hover"
4. Click the button at the top of the screen marked "Save Changes"

Academics leaving Twitter to go to Bluesky while despising all the Mastodon initiatives, feels a bit like someone saying: "I will boycott the Nature group because it's a very bad for-profit organization that has its own political and economic agenda that doesn't match the one Science should be promoting. 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

I finally understand how Mastodon is dificult.

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!

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?

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。

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. 🤷‍♂️

@tieflingdio@mstdn.games

So your Mastodon instance doesn't block Threads but you want to block it anyway? Well, you can do that!

1) Open a new text file.

2) On the first line, type "threads.net" (no quotes)

3) Save the file as "threadsblock.csv"

4) On a computer (not your phone) log into your instance and click "Preferences."

5) Click "Import and Export"

6) Click "Import"

7) In the "Import Type" select "Domain Blocking List" and "Merge"

8) For "Data," Browse to your "threadsblock.csv"

9) Select "Upload"

To verify your import was successful, go to your profile and click the three little dots, selecting "blocked domains." You should see threads in the list!

Enjoy!

Hashtag Standards (part deux)

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?

Mastodon links directly to #Fish&Chips
BlueSky links directly to #Fish&Chips
Threads links to a search for 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.

Krononaut Moon 🌕🌑🌕 2025 Mar 14

@KronoMoon_TotalLunarEclipse@aus.social

Time Travel: obscure & cryptic little ad in Artforum Magazine from 45 years ago proves more relevant today than back in 1980.

#Scientific #research, #spiritual #quest, or #conceptual #art, it's an invitation to make contact with Time Travelers — or Visitors from the Future(s) — at what some call a landing reception. Today, the ongoing work of The Krononaut Moon Project continues at full steam on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.

🌠 🐘 🛸

The historic ad appeared in the magazine's 1980 Jan issue, announcing a gathering to occur two years later on 1982 Mar 09, inviting #Krononauts or #TimeTravelers to beam down to #Baltimore #MD #US. The hundreds of attendees at the night's festivities were documented by a #NYTimes #newspaper reporter. Later, others would organize their own inter-dimensional meet-ups in #Perth #AU, #MIT #US, and #Cambridge #UK. (All were landing receptions of type-1.0. See links below & on our other @KronoMoon pages for details.)

The Artforum ad can be found in #library collections and on the "Time Travel" page of #Wikipedia.

Baltimore's event was timed for a full #Moon & a rare #planetary alignment in 1982, known to #astronomers as a #syzygy. It was the prototype for today's more evolved type-2.0 "experimentations, observations & celebrations" taking place under the shadow of the #TotalLunarEclipse — the night of the #KrononautMoon. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in 2025 & 2026, with the next one coming up on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, barely months away.

❛❛ On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse,
Time Travelers descend in their space-time ships. ❜❜

All sentient beings are welcome to join us in connecting with the #cosmos, the #multiverse, and your #past & #future #selves. Even folks who gripe that this is utter absurdity are invited (despite the #thinking of a few enlightened #quantum #physicists). Or, you might choose to spend a peaceful evening by yourself under the #stars, on a #sacred #mountaintop, at the #beach, or in your own #backyard. The more diverse are these experimental approaches, the greater the likelihood of meaningful contact. Or, you could bring along your friends & colleagues, your grandparents & grandkids, your #CatsOfMastodon & #DogsOfMastodon (and don't forget a #camera for lots of @KronoMoonPhotos). Watch the skies for #UFOs, #UAP, or a #signal from the #beyond. Who can know who might show up? The #fullMoon will be shining bright on that night, before it goes dark, and then shines bright again, all in an hour or so. Participants will be contributing to the greater body of Community Time Travel Research. Become a fellow #MoonWatcher on 2025 March 14, wherever you are.

Graphic from a small text-based ad in the 1980 Jan issue of #Artforum #Magazine, white letters on black . Copy starts with "Welcome The People From The Future, March 9, 1982." Original size is 4.5 x 2.5-inches. The message is that it's inviting readers to a "reception" or "landing party" for #TimeTravelers, or #Krononauts, that was scheduled for 2 years after the publication date of the magazine. The ad also includes phone numbers and a PO box which are all long-defunct now. The irony / humor / concept is that we are looking at this from 45 years in its future, just as real Time Travelers will one day look at it from a more distant future(s), and they could elect to travel back to #Baltimore #MD #US on 1982 Mar 09. This kind of documentation (now on #Mastodon & #Fediverse) is crucial to the successful operation of the experiment.

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...)

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.

A few thoughts on domain verification for social media

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?

You tell the service what your website is.
The service gives you a secret code¹.
You upload that secret code onto your website.
The service checks the secret code is on the website.
If it is, the service says your domain is verified.

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.

Revocation and Revalidation

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.

Copy Cat Domains

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.

Humans aren't very clever

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.

Hacks Happen

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?

It might be too difficult for large organisation

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.

The alternative isn't much better

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.

Final thoughts

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 (possibly) getting a dedicated Trust and Safety role restores some of my hope for the future of the fediverse.

I think the team has been pulled into too many directions by people asking for some really great and important features, but if you build a network where people don't feel safe, there soon won't be anyone to use those features.

This is a step in the right direction

Regarding:
“I hope that Mastodon itself leans into a more plugable architecture: enabling alternative UX to plug in, allowing alternative services to plug in and offer other functionality across servers. That could enable faster evolution of key parts of Matodon while also allowing the core product to evolve at its own pace.”

I strongly agree with this. And have been arguing this for years now. But for all Fediverse software.

“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?

Greg Wiggleton

@GregWiggleton@worldkey.io

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.

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?

@davidbisset@phpc.social

I enjoyed https://mastodon.social/@_elena take on #Bluesky. Most agree on its weaknesses - “it’s like the Impossible Burger” vs fast food of Twitter, TikTok, etc. is apt in context.

“I wouldn’t want tens of millions of new people suddenly landing in the #Fediverse and changing its culture.”

It is the most… tactful… way I have heard so far of the superior mindset I’ve seen expressed here and that has given #Mastodon its bad reputation. 1/2

David B. Himself

@DavidBHimself@firefish.city

I'm hearing that a bunch of new people have arrived on Mastodon and the Fediverse these past few weeks.

Well, hello and welcome. I guess I'll make my own post of advice if anyone cares.

1. First and foremost, complete your profile before anything else.

2. An #introduction post usually helps getting seen during the first few days and sometimes even beyond.

3. Remember, here, you craft your own experience, which means:

4. Follow and unfollow liberally. Nobody cares about your follows/followers ratio here.

5. Follow hashtags, it's a great way to populate your timeline with content you care about. It's one of the best function of a lot of Fediverse platforms, and newcomers don't know this exists.
The corollary is: don't forget to use hashtags.

6. Mute keywords and hashtags that regularly show up in your timeline and that you don't care for. Remember, you're the one crafting your experience.

7. Learn about the #Fediverse, it extends well beyond #Mastodon. I think it's important to understand what this is all about and how this place works. It's very different from all what you've been used to.

8. Ignore, mute or block (depending on the offense) anyone who tells you what you must and must not do here (above are pieces of advice, ignore them if you wish, I wouldn't dare telling you what you should do or not do). There's a pretty nasty Home Owners Association here that gives us a bad name everywhere else. They're just a loud minority, give them the attention they deserve: None.

9. Apart from the people mentioned above, most people are very nice here and passionate about many things.

10. Have fun.

Recently a lot of Austrian reporters switched to #Bluesky . Personally I do like #Mastodon a lot, but unfortunately I can't follow as many people here as I used to on other platforms (reporters, political institutions, certain scientists, et cetera). That's why I think the bluesky-fediverse-bridge . is very cool, because a small gap has now closed and I can follow people like @arminwolf.at and @marcuswadsak.bsky.social <3

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!

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.

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.

@collectifission@greennuclear.online

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

@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!

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.

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

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.

If the top 10% posting on #Threads and #Bluesky federate/bridge, you can basically get all the content on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.

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?

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?

I’m curious about a couple of things and answers to this question will surely provide insights. What is decentralisation as defined by a social protocol and social network(s)? #fediverse #ActivityPub #Socialweb #Mastodon #Askfedi

@misterdave@tilde.zone · 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.

Mister Dave

@misterdave@tilde.zone

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 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.

Emelia 👸🏻

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io · 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.

#Bluesky #Mastodon #Fediverse #decentralisation

Emelia 👸🏻

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io

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?

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.

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!

#Facts that #Mastodon users always refuse to accept, yet these are true:

#Brave is the best browser and a search engine. No else #browser is better then it. No else search engine. Not even #Firefox or #Chrome .

#iPhone are the best phones with their iOS to exist. And no, Android devices aren't better.

#Bluesky is the best alternative to #Twitter /#X , the one true, DECENTRALIZED (yes, it has its own #ATProtocol ) alternative that we all need.

#ZCash is a better #privacy focused #cryptocurrency then #Monero .

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.

Set your domain name as your handle for a BlueSky bot which is bridged from the Fediverse

If you've found this page, it's because you are me in the future and want to remember these instructions!

Create an account on the Fediverse using a domain you control
- For example @user@bots.example.com
Follow the Fediverse-ATProto bridge @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
- Your account will need to be over 2 weeks old and have a name, profile picture, etc.
You now have an account on BSky! Its name will be something like user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy
Get the DID of your account
- https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy
- Or https://fed.brid.gy/ap/@user@bots.example.com
Add the DID to your domain
- I think the easiest way is sticking it in a plain text file at bots.example.com/.well-known/atproto-did
Use the BSky Debugger to make sure it was successful.
Send a Direct Message from the Fediverse to @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. The message must only contain username bots.example.com.
- That's literally the word username. It isn't your account's username.
Wait a few moments.
Your bot will now be on BSky as https://bsky.app/profile/bots.example.com!

You can see that https://bot.viii.fi/bot is also available at https://bsky.app/profile/bot.viii.fi

#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

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. :)

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.

It seems like everybody on #Threads is currently very disappointed with the algorithmic feed. And they are leaving en masse.

Where are they going, you ask? To #Bluesky. #Mastodon is rarely ever mentioned.

Why is that? What do you think?

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 @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.

So to all others in the #Fediverse desperately trying to get people to understand the benefits of a non-corporate infrastructure without improving the very infrastructure, you will fail. Case and point, email. People still don't understand why someone would prefer email and forums to, say, Facebook, for example, so use your energy to make this place better. This means working on making things better for marginalized people exclusively, trust me. I mean, look at the alt text culture here. Average non-fedi people whined about using it for years but suddenly figured out it helps them, too! Apply this to *every* other marginalized user asking for a feature. Then, eventually, when another rich person takes over #Bluesky and people will be looking for alternatives, we have something better. #Mastodon

@jon@vivaldi.net

Are social media platforms that utilize algorithmic feeds inherently anti-free-speech?

In normal discourse, we all have a voice and we all have the choice whether to listen. In the algorithmic space, formulas are used to decide which voices to amplify and also which voices to de-amplify.

Here on Vivaldi Social (Mastodon), I see posts that people I follow post, including posts they choose to boost. No formulas needed. This is, IMHO, the closest to free-speech you can find, although there are some hate speech rules, which is IMHO a good thing. Basically the same as in normal, social discourse.

On Facebook I see posts Facebook thinks I want to see (and boy do they get it wrong), as well as a lot of AI generated nonsense. There are some posts in there that I am interested in, but most are not.

Twitter has turned into amplification of what Elon wants to amplify, mostly hate speech and misinformation. There are still interesting voices in there, but they are harder and harder to find.

What do you think?

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.

@rolle@mementomori.social

Each party that is building the "new era of social media" have their own agendas.

Bluesky states literally "Bluesky is an open network. With one account, you can access both an easy-to-use social network and a shared identity across the entire social internet."

Nostr states: "Nostr is a simple, open protocol that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media."

Threads says: "Threads is part of the fediverse, also known as the federated universe. The fediverse is a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world."

But they are still more or less separate and not "easy". It's this fantasy of having interoperability, but years go by and everyone are still developing their own protocols and apps. Bluesky and Threads can be partly connected to the Fediverse, but limited to one-way or opt-in setting. It's not "across the entire social internet", nowhere near.

As of right now I can reach most platforms via ActivityPub and I can fully have the control to myself with my own server on the Fediverse. That can't be achieved with Bluesky or Threads, with them you are always dependent on someone else's servers. I hope some day we'll get the bigger players fully connected too, somehow, better and easier.

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.

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.

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.

I’m sorry I can’t think positive as of this moment. Yes, we will get through it again this time, but mainly because we have no choice.

We join #Mastodon because we understand the danger of all these mainstream #SocialMedia. I thought that everyone here sees that.

Sure, go ahead and continue using #Facebook, #X, #Instagram or #TikTok. You’ve been fed all the lies and brainwashed and yet you don’t care.

#ElonMusk played an instrumental role in this #election and got what he wanted. Be afraid.

Like many, we are devastated after the result of the US election.

We will be taking some time as a team to regroup, process, and understand how we can better support diverse and marginalised communities as we head into a new period.

As a charity, we have always believed in supporting these communities. Our thoughts are with them and the many people who worked hard in their attempt to prevent this result.

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

The only thing that holds #Mastodon back is it's awful web UI:

- vertical nav bar in mobile version that takes a lot of screen space and overall ugly
- navigation on the right side on desktop + "write post" *always* visible on the left
- overall interface looks heavy and overloaded

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?

I keep reading about how Mastodon is dying, or at least on the decline. But while it's had some growing pains, and has some inherent (though fixable) flaws that discourage many new users and drive some away, the COMMUNITY here just feels to me like it grows stronger every day!
I don't know if it's real, or if it's just my own experience, but things are feeling vibrant, alive, and interactive in a way that was pretty rare my first year or so here. So thank you all! #mastodon #fediverse

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.

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 npm@10.4.0

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.

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?

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)

bluesky, more mild critique

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).

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 🙄

Our move to #Mastodon wasn't just a platform switch. It was a leap into #OpenScience in action.

We found a chance to align our communication w/ our values: transparent, meaningful, dialogue-driven.

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.

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.

@mho@social.heise.de

Das jüngste Update von #Mastodon hat etwa drei Viertel der Follower von @heiseonline erreicht und damit auch der Patch für den #Preview-Bug. Wir sollten also wieder so ziemlich alle Klicks sehen, die aus dem #Fediverse zu heise.de führen.
Aber so richtig zugenommen hat die Zahl der Zugriffe trotzdem nicht wirklich.

Wenigstens lagen die #Twitter-Alternativen in Summe vergangene Woche wieder mal vorn (was sie immer öfter tun). Das liegt auch am Sinkflug von #X.

Scenario: I write a post (possibly including pictures) and instead of publishing immediately it should be stored and published at a later point in time.

Interactive/GUI-based tools are good, but scripts and automatable CLI-programs are also appreciated.

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:

@benda@kolektiva.social

so #peertube works strangely, at least in comparison to #mastodon , or i am doing something wrong.
if i have a mastodon page open, lets say @user@instance.com 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?

n00q

@n00q@don.n00q.net

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.

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.

#mastodon #fediverse #search #accessibility

nycki

@nycki@bark.lgbt

So... is Mastodon inherently anti-accessible? I feel like there's some weird sorta "undiscoverable by design" sentiment on here sometimes. Is there a way to find out, for instance, if a specific real life person is on mastodon using their given name, without already knowing what instance they're on? Some sort of tool to search like, all the top public instances at once? I don't want to stalk people but it'd be cool to like... look up a band or an artist and see what they're up to.

nycki

@nycki@bark.lgbt

you know what mastodon desperately needs? LISTS. there should be a system where you can make lists of people and then follow/block a whole list at a time.

right now there's a problem where I want to be in a bunch of cool local feeds but I don't want to make a ton of duplicate accounts. if those worked like lists instead this would be a non-issue.

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.

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

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.

Do #mastodon servers not bother searching #Friendica servers when using hashtag or free search?
Or do all servers only search the larger servers?

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.

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!

#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

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

Pale Moon web browser

@palemoon@outerheaven.club

Alllright, hello lunarians! We've moved instances again (4 hours has to be a world record for shortest stay in a #Mastodon before migrating :P), and hopefully this will be the final time we will do that. It would be a shame, because "Outer Heaven" does sorta fit more for a #browser named "Pale Moon"! ;)

So, with a permanent #fediverse home, here's the short #introduction again done two instances ago on what #PaleMoon is all about:

We are one of the first projects out there to have forked from #Firefox / #Mozilla. We've started as a humble rebuild aiming to bring an optimized Firefox, but we've soon evolved into a full-fledged fork (hard fork if you will) which kept what we believe were the good stuff that Mozilla axed and didn't deserve axing, like #XUL (which we believe is the most powerful language for extending a browser, up to its internals), #RSS, and <style scoped>, and kept out the ones that we believe were not good for our userbase (like Pocket, the LLM cruft, and if you're old enough, Australis!). We aim to keep evolving this mature platform in order to keep up with the latest feature additions to the web as we reasonably can (even though we believe they're becoming increasingly silly) while, if possible and necessary, adding up some of our own. All of that, as an independent effort supported primarily by nothing else but you: the users!

If you want to explore more about our history, roadmap, and what you can do with this browser, then please give our website below a visit! 🌕

#Threads #Mastodon #ThreadsModerationFailures

ALT text details

On Threads, the topic of “Threads Moderation Failures” is trending. Some users complain their accounts are being deleted or restricted for linking to articles with controversial topics. Instagram and Threads boss Adam Mosseri is directly replying to some complaints and said he’s “looking into it.” And I'm one of many people who's had their account deleted for allegedly being a child — which [ am not. Moderation is a perennial problem on social media, but based on social media posts and The Verge staff’s own experiences, Meta is currently banning and restricting users on a hair trigger. One of my colleagues was locked out of her account briefly this week after joking that she “wanted to die” because of a heatwave.

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.

#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

🧐 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. 😍

Soo that's what I'll be doing. Skipping it.

Still looking for an alternative that doesn't require Linus Torvalds to personally come to your house and install it himself, but that's currently not a thing. Need Linus Torvalds or the equivalent for pretty much everything.😩

General mastodon question but we still can’t change our handles right? You have to do a complicated thing instead of something easy like Edit>Save ? And that’s just ok? #mastodon #mastodonhelp

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.

#Fediverse / #Mastodon #PSA

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.

I'll be inactive for the next few days - maybe three and more.

Reason? Because I live in Florida. And if you heard the news, you're smart enough to understand why will I be inactive.

Yesterday I didn't had time to write this, since we left our home in such extreme hurry.

Expert Plus 🍀

@ExpertPlus@mementomori.social

Well well well. I guess I should introduce myself a bit :-)

Hi, my name is Expert Plus, or at least this how do I call myself on Internet. I used to have else nicknames, but I prefer that one.

I am interested and focused on privacy. I am 3D artist as well.

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.

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.

#Mastodon 4.3 がついにリリース 🎉

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🦒

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.

#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.

#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.

Tiny Mastodon Tip For Spoilers :mastodon: 😵:

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 :blobcatstop:

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 :blobcatheart:

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

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.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Boosts :mastodon: :boost_ok: !

First, yes! You should absolutely boost the posts that you like on Mastodon! :neocat_heart:

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! :boost_ok: :blobcatrainbow:

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 :ablobslurp:

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]" :blobcatthinksmart:

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 :acongablob:

5. Don't forget to boost the posts that you like! :awesome: ✨

@stefano something seems a bit strange with the #snac instance: I followed myself now (both directions), and quite some of my own toots on snac don't arrive in my feed here on #mastodon. But when looking at the snac profile from mastodon, I can read them... 🤷

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.

@stefano@bsd.cafe

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

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.

Stefano Marinelli

@stefano@bsd.cafe

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.

Since I was accused of censorship, I’ll address this. The beauty of Mastodon is that it’s distributed. Want to say things others disagree with? Spin up your own instance, build your community.

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:

➡️ @Feditext

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."

BeAware

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

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.🤷‍♂️

BeAware

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

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.

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.

@ajsadauskas@vivaldi.net

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.

The image contains a black background with a white stylized letter 'M' at the center. At first it looks like a speech bubble as you’d see in a comic strip, but it could also be an elephants head and trunk.

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.

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.

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/

Read

Then I followed the blog account on each of the platforms where I have an account to test.

#Friendica

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

#Mastodon

Federation works, quick deliver, all html renders ok except the image placement, the image is added as a media attachment.

https://social.rochacbruno.com/@rochacbruno@blog.rochacbruno.com/113188368001959095

#gotosocial

Just like mastodon.

https://go.rocha.social/@bruno/statuses/01J8G3M4CCMPG0NNGZ9SQ3AH6Q#thread-summary

#Mitra

Federated ok, took a very long time to deliver (looks like instance was having issues), image placement also follows Mastodon pattern.

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.

#snac2

I also don't know, my instance of snac2 was running on my local host only and I could not fetch the post.

Conclusion

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.

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 @mozilla@mozilla.social and #Firefox for years – to me, they always stood for #openness, #privacy, and a free #internet.

But ever since Laura Chambers took over, it feels like Mozilla is completely losing its way. 🤔

Instead of focusing on the #browser, they’re starting projects that have little to do with their core mission. Commercial partnerships are on the rise, and now they’re even shutting down their own #Mastodon instance. That was the perfect opportunity to push #decentralization and openness in the #Fediverse. 🌐

#Firefox used to be my go-to recommendation for privacy – but sadly, I can’t say that anymore. 😕

💬 Do you have any recommendations for a #browser on #macOS and #iOS that focuses on privacy, syncs easily, and is still customizable?

@akien@mastodon.gamedev.place

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).

#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 🙄

@damon@social.wedistribute.org

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.

But Vivaldi Web Browser has confirmed that they will keep maintaining their Mastodon instance.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

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.

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

damon

@damon@social.wedistribute.org

Idk who needs to read this but it’s okay for people to like different things and make different choices than you. It’s okay to have valid constructive criticism as well. Fandoms can be insane, I’ve seen it with PlayStation v Xbox, Android v iOS and so forth. People can like what they like and if that’s a different choice than you that’s okay.
I say this as people on #Fediverse get highly upset at any level of criticism of #Mastodon and other platforms. People getting upset at other protocols. #ActivityPub is amazing but it’s not perfect, nothing is and that’s okay. We live in a world where we have these big beautiful brains where we invent and come up with things. I like to celebrate that.
People making different choices than you would is good. People have many layered reasons as to why they do and don’t do things.

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…？

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: ✌🏻

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.

#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.

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:

Mountain Mindset

@mountainmindset@mountains.social

What is the Mountain Mindset? For me its the idea of recognizing as we charge into this future online, we can still develop our own culture. As I have traveled, my observations between city culture & mountain culture was fairly consistent around the world. Mountain culture required living more in tune with nature, more aware of the seasons & surroundings. Community more shaped around connection and sharing. Looking in practice like how the Hawaiian’s live Pono, a lifestyle inspired by values to do the right thing; living in harmony with the land & people. In this present moment of globalization, we can collect ideas that will be needed for the future. Culture will outlive us. We can individually, in our own unique way, create this concept of culture here on Mastodon. Thank you for being here!

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

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.

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.

Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework

@fedify@hollo.social

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.

Now with more and more #instances upgraded to version 4.2.0 of #Mastodon, you can compare full text #search on different ones: Having multiple accounts, I did – and yes, the differences are rather big.

Once again it seems clear, the bigger your instance the better for finding content in the #fediverse. Especially for journalists, this also implies, that an instance by your organization might not be the best idea. Something like journa.host could make more sense.

英語圏の :fediverse: #Fediverse の投稿を眺めていると、ちょくちょく「日本語勉強中」とかプロフィールに書いているアカウントを偶然見つけることがある。
自分自身も英語を読むのがなんとなくここにいるモチベーションにもなっていて、言語交換というほど積極的にそういう方々と交流している訳では無いにしても、そういう出会いは日本語話者としても英語勉強中の身としてもうれしい。
:mastodon: #Mastodon の特性上、そういうアカウントが特別自分のタイムライン上でレコメンドされているわけもなく、本当に偶然の出会いだと思うとなんかそれもうれしいなと思うし、同時になにか他の要因があるのかなと考えたりもする。
もともと #Twitter 好きという日本人の国民性みたいなのが影響して #Fediverse #Mastodon には比較的日本人・日本語話者が多いという状況とかがあるんだろうか？

A 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!

“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. 🤔

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!

https://privacy.thenexus.today/unsafe-by-design-and-unsafe-by-default/

The Nexus of Privacy

@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange

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"

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

The Nexus of Privacy

5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people

Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
Think before you post
Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
Approach it intersectionally

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

@newsmast@newsmast.social

With #FediForum coming up next week, we thought we'd give you a little more info on our new service for server admins - Patchwork.

Patchwork servers won't just benefit the admins who run them, but also the people who use them. For example, admins can choose to add complex post types to their server, including:

- Long Posts
- Post Scheduling
- Rich text
- Local Only Posts

We're happy to chat to server admins about what Patchwork can do!

"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."

Alright. I'm trying out the #Mastodon #Android app once again. Honestly I wasn't really a fan of it the first time using it and just preferred to use Mastodon in my browser.

But eh, let's see if this will work better this time around.

That's all, boring update lol.

Robin Hartley

@robinhartley@tech.lgbt

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.

#Hello again!

I migrated to this :mastodon: #Mastodon instance to explore and engage with the 🧑‍🎤 #Metalhead community and focus my own music project located at https://this.ven.uber.space

As a musician who uses #FLOSS and :archlinux: #Linux to drive 🎸 guitar tunes and a researcher of #CyberSecurity I am also interested in #FreeSoftware, #InfoSec, #ITSec, and #Privacy.

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.

@getajobmike@ruby.social

#Mastodon scaling pro tip: don’t set your #Sidekiq concurrency greater than 25. You will just slow things down. Instead, add more Sidekiq processes, up to one per CPU. Be sure you allocate enough database connections for that total concurrency.

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?

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.

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!

@pablogilah@masto.es

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.

Eric McCarthy

@eric@limulus.net

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.

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/

James | PixelRefresh.com

@jameswoodcock@mastodon.social

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.

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.

@sbb@c.im

I went from just _passably_ enjoying Mastodon, to actually feeling it was worthwhile to participate in Mastodon, when I made a careful distinction in who I decided to mute:

I didn't get hung up on judging the _causes_ that people spoke on behalf of, in favor for or against. I looked at _how_ they said it. It was all in the _how_.

As soon as they said anything in a nasty tone, just like a Narcissist or Machiavellian would be expected to, and I detected what I _believed_ to be "gaslighting" (exaggerating, which undermines people's sense of self esteem or self-worth) and agenda-loaded snarkiness, that earned an instant Mute, or a Block in more extreme cases.

It was all in the *how*, for *how people said things*, not so much the *what*, of *what they actually said*.

This tuning into people's tone _first and foremost_, and mercilessly "tit-for-tatting" them in this way, drastically cleaned up the quality of my timelines. It was a tuning in to my own emotional affect from the posts; listening to that as a good measurement for what I was willing to accept, and thereby invited hearing more of.

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.)

Flames spell out Fedi Mercury (signature of Freddie Mercury, modified) on a large coin The center of the silver coin features Freddie Mercury in his classic one-fist raised pose. Coin is illuminated by several lightning flashes as "we will rock you" plays - where the guitar kicks in towards the end. Coin spins to show a tusked elephant on the other side with the words MASTODON & 2024. Coin completes spin and the signature remains, glowing and pink - the flames are gone. Made in Blender #b3d

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.

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 ???

: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.

#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... 🤔

Fedi.Tips

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

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.

Hollo

@hollo@hollo.social

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.

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.

✨ 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 😊

@rolle@mementomori.social

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.

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)

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.

@mastodonmilestoneprogress That's a bit of a bummer.

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.

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)

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us

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.

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.

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.

They say they can’t add #Mastodon tracking at the moment due mostly to “technical incompatibilities”.
They say they’re thinking about adding #Bluesky …

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?

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.

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.

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 @zmotions@mastodon.online)
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

Could we get #Altmetric to incorporate #Mastodon / #Fediverse mentions? If yes, how?
It’s really annoying to still see twitter there and not even Masto. I’m sure that’s one of the reasons why some scientists are still on twitter. It seems a detail but it is really useful to check out “attention” towards a specific paper and different discussions of it.

#Musk can't believe he drove advertisers away from #X / #Twitter by turning it into the #hellscape he saw as a risk and promised to avoid.

So he's suing them. Their departure must be an illegal conspiracy.

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.

Personal, social media (1/3)

I quit Twitter in 2022 when Musk took over. I was part of some good, active communities there, especially in editing, book, and linguistics circles.

Conversations had been getting hard to muster even pre-Musk. The vibe had soured, and when the takeover happened I was done.

Mastodon appealed and immediately seemed much more positive, friendly, and authentic. It still does.

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.

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...

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.

@stefano@bsd.cafe

Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, until now, I have taken an approach to moderation where I engage in dialogue with users to find suitable solutions. However, for some colleagues, this approach has not seemed sufficient, so I will be adopting a different strategy. From now on, as soon as an issue is reported to me, I will take immediate action and then discuss it with the user. Fortunately, these situations are very rare, but they do occur, and I want to ensure that no one feels attacked or harassed. For this reason, I am adding a new rule:

Promote Positivity:
BSD Cafe is a supportive environment. Pro, not against.Any kind of attacks are strictly prohibited.This is a place for relaxation and serenity. Violations may lead to immediate account suspension. Negative behavior risks our server being isolated by others, affecting all users

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.

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.

Gergely Nagy 🐁

@algernon@trunk.mad-scientist.club

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.

Miguel Afonso Caetano

@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org

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 :)

@FediFollows@social.growyourown.services

In case you missed it, I have a website as well which lists interesting Fediverse accounts to follow organised into topics:

➡️ https://fedi.directory

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.

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?

@Setok@attractive.space · Reply to Kristoffer Lawson's post

@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).

Kristoffer Lawson

@Setok@attractive.space · 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.

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.

#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

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’ve spent an hour adding #Bluesky accounts and #RSS feeds of my favorite blogs (in addition to a selection of #Mastodon and federated #Threads accounts). It’s SOOOO COOL…

Thank you #Fediverse and #ActivityPub for making this possible 🪄✨

I respect and appreciate all the work the Mastodon team and all the various volunteers have done, no question about that. This is not about calling out any particular individuals.

But I hope that in light of the ongoing conversations, the Mastodon team will reevaluate their priorities, with input from folks most impacted by the platform's deficiencies.

Stefan Bohacek

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online

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?

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.

How hard it must be to share a random #Mastodon link you found on the internet to an average user

This is the part where those who had a grandma would say:

"My grandma used to say ''I'm telling you that because I care about you, Mastodon' "

@DecaturNature@theatl.social · Reply to DecaturNature's post

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.

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.

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:

#introduction #mastodon #Australia Hello everybody. I work as a midwife, delivering babies in a coastal western australia town. Family man with two queer teen girls. My wife is an education assistant. She is a foodie, mostly baking. Linux Android end user. Leftist and green. Play tuba in city band. Completely obsessed with ex-copyright Australian musical composers. Cycle to work. Currently reading female fantasy series Aurealis winners. Decentralised open standard social media platform has been on my wish list for a while. Hope to host an instance if I can manage enough learning and tinkering time. Wish I could see daily discussion topics. Parent to three fur babies. I have experimentally followed every Australian I can find and placed filters on the words Trump Biden and USA, which has given my timeline the regional feel I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong - I met a nice American in the eighties (think they were from Canada). It's just that we Aussies are outnumbered in the English speaking world and it can get a bit overwhelming.

Pachli

@pachli@mastodon.social

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/

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/

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.

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.

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!

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!

John M Flores

@JohnMFlores@kolektiva.social

Let's talk governance. On #Twitter and #Reddit, the communities we built were subject to the whims of ownership. As long as we had a benevolent dictator, were were cool. That's obviously changed for both of those sites in the past year, so many of us are here on #Mastodon and the #fediverse

The model is distributed (good) and open source (great) but as the community evolves, it faces growing pains and existential questions like, "What happens if Meta joins?"

Each instance is independent and can do what they wish (cool) but what if the mod(s) of your instance make a decision that does not align with your values? Switching instances can be done but it's a non-trivial task, and you are still subject to the policies enacted by the instance that you switch to. The admin that you _thought_ was cool may hold a viewpoint on an issue that you're not aligned with. You still are looking for a benevolent dictator.

We could of course, each launch our own instance that 100% reflects our values, but that flies in the face of community. My hope is that this is a place that doesn't agree 100% but does disagree thoughtfully and respectfully.

This is where governance comes in - are there any instances with a well defined organization and well-defined processes for how decisions get made? Are there any instances where policy decisions are made by a group (hopefully representative of the users) instead of a single/small group of admins that may or may not be in touch with what the members of that instance want? I'd be much more at ease with an instance like that.

I know that this sounds all corporate bullshit hierarchy and all, but maybe the Fediverse needs some of that in addition to the communal spirit that we have here. I'm kind of tired of benevolent dictators.

Thoughts?

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?

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.)

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?

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.

#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.

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

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.

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.

@KraftTea@mastodon.social

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!

Mark Kraft

@KraftTea@mastodon.social

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.

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.

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.

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:

@jonpainterphoto@lawfedi.blue

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.

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

@benx@kolektiva.social

Made a web based protocol handler for a custom activitypub link URI scheme.

The aim of this is to demonstrate a method for allowing users to follow other people's accounts and interact with other people's posts in a much easier way.

Installing the handler allows you to open up special links anywhere on the internet that will load other people's posts and profile directly into your own instance's web client automatically (no more copy and paste).

Looking for folks to test it out and send feedback.

⬆️ 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

@antijingoist@hackers.town

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.

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、や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 이나 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.

The cover of Cruel Provocations shows gold lettering on the background of a rich blue of light filtering through trees. Surrounding this are callouts informing you of the book's contents: Female lead, Lightning Punk, Enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers, Fae vs Machines, 18th Century France, Dark Mystery, villain as hero, magic. The city came to claim Therasia's lands. Can this one, half-fae hunter resist them? Only if she uncovers the truth about her own nature and powers. Will her growing feelings for one of the soldiers prove to be her salvation, or with lust and betrayal prove her downfall? There are faeries, blood, romance, creeping horrors and angry soldiers. Therasia shows herself to be a violent half-fae with few scruples. We learn she is fighting tooth and claw not only to preserve her way of life, but to prevent a war that would slaughter thousands, and halt a mighty power struggle brewing among the fae.

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.

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

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 💻

#neuHier #Vorstellung

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]foss_de@feddit.org 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 opensource@lemmy.ml , 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.

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.

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/

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

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.

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.

@muiiio@mst.muiiio.com

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?

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

Currently, #Mastodon only renders a few harmless tags like and 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:

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.

Users can limit notifications and DMs; this shows the Preferences/Notifications screen in the desktop web view, with an arrow pointing at the "Other notifications settings" section at the bottom.

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.

#BSD #FreeBSD #DNS #Decentralization #SelfHosting

🌟 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.

Bread and Circuses

@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social · 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!

Dining Car

@diningcar@rail.chat

📢 (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!)

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.

BeAware

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

As with most things, my opinion of Threads integration to the Fediverse is very nuanced.

On one hand, I enjoy the idea of being able to engage and interact with the wider social web. On the other hand, the sheer amount of Threads users makes me worry that Fediverse will soon be just like corporate social media sites.

I don't want to be lost in the mix of millions of posts, with hardly any engagement.

Also, Mastodon will be adding "limit replies" soon enough and that's bad for a number of reasons, the biggest being misinformation...😬

I am still VERY cautiously optimistic. However, if I start noticing my engagement fall off a cliff, I'll be immensely sad.😔

Jack William Bell

@jackwilliambell@rustedneuron.com

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!

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.

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:
Who can reply?Choose "Everybody" or "Nobody" Or combine these options: Mentioned users, Followed users.

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.

BeAware

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

New to Mastodon and confused about why you don't see anything on your home feed and nobody interacts with your posts?

1. Follow people. Fedi has no algorithm beyond the "explore" tab. It works completely by follow relationships. The more people you follow with similar interests, the more likely they'll follow you back. Not to mention your home feed will be filled by their toots.

2. Hashtags. Full indexed search is EXTREMELY new and some instances haven't upgraded yet. Even then, some users don't want EVERY toot of theirs to be discoverable so they turn that feature off. However, Hashtags are always searchable for public toots. Litter your posts with relevant hashtags so people can find your toots!

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?

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.

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

We are up to the challenge.

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.

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.

@floe@hci.social

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 😑

"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…. 🤔

Jeff Sikes

@box464@mastodon.social

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! 🎉

”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*

@hnygd@mastodon.africa

Shameless Sunday evening plug:

We would like to make #MastodonAfrica the warm and welcoming go-to social media instance for Mastodon users from South Africa and also #Africa in general, the instance for South Africa that also is actually hosted and run in #SouthAfrica.

This includes all those that feel connected to the country or continent for whatever reason.

More active users here would make the local timeline more interesting for new users. We still lack the critical mass of a diverse crowd with different areas of interest and we would like this to change.

We think that #Mastodon has a lot to offer to South African social media users over the usual commercial offerings of large social media companies from America or China that don't care about local users more than just to extract their data.

So if you think about migrating, it is easy: https://mastodon.africa/@GrahamDowns/111460155208935839

#MastodonAfrica is physically hosted in #CapeTown.

We do this with a long term vision, so we won't close even if we remain an active and small community but we still wouldn't be sad if growth was faster. 😊

If you do have any question about migrating or #MastodonAfrica, tag me and I will try to help.

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 :blobfoxlaugh:

Anyway, I'm here and my intention is to stay here. :apartyblobcat:

@McWabbit@tenforward.social

Hi! Okay, that was a bit too enthusiastic for my personality.

Hi. And welcome to this small part of what people here call the #fediverse.

Recently I have moved my profile to this server and as a bonus it has a longer character limit per post.

To re-introduce myself a little bit, I will throw in some hashtags that more or less define my presence here:
#cats #StarTrek #StarWars #StarCitizen #anime #manga #technology #DnD #LeftLeaning #antifa #ClimateCrisis #VaccinesSaveLives #justice #TransRightsAreHumanRights #StandWithUkraine #NAFO

I am sure more will be added along the way.

To get you started, here is Tip 1:
You can follow hashtags by searching for them and then click on the little '+' icon at the top right of its column.
This will make sure posts or toots will appear in your Home timeline. From there on you can follow people you find interesting or you may know from other platforms.
As you can see, hashtags increases visibility in the fediverse. Unlike the hit-and-miss algorithms on other social media, it's the posters who push the visibility of their messages through this method of tagging.

Tip 2:
On the leftmost column, you will find the triple burger icon on the top left. This is the Getting started link that leads to # Explore. Useful for gaining more follows.

Tip 3:
There are many #mastodon guides available online. Here is one: https://katecarruthers.com/2022/12/18/im-on-mastodon-what-now/

Tip 4:
Since I recently moved servers, or instances, here is a guide how I did it:
https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

That's it for now.
Make yourself at home and see you around.

My first #ThankYouTuesday to the friends of #BSDCafe - both within the community servers and beyond - who have undoubtedly contributed to making my life better, more stimulating, and richer.

* ホームタイムラインにフォローハッシュタグ経由の投稿があるとハイライトされてすぐ視認できる（どのハッシュタグを経由してきたかも投稿の上に出る）

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.

It's been a year since a bunch of friends and I started the https://fantastic.earth #Mastodon server. We currently have 10 active users and pay about 4.1 USD per person per month for hosting costs, which includes hosting a #Pixelfed and a #Bookwyrm server as well for our members.

We have two sysadmins and two moderators. Thankfully we have rarely run into system or moderation issues over the last year.

We are invite-only and accepting new members. If you know any existing members personally, ask them for an invite.

Es muss bei einem #Mastodon-Profil gar nicht um #Followerzahlen gehen.

Denn das Gute ist: Auch Menschen, die Social Media sonst nicht nutzen, gelangen hier einfach und sicher an Informationen: Ein Web-Browser genügt!

Im Unterschied zu kommerziellen „sozialen Netzwerken“ wie #FaceBook oder #Instagram gibt es hier #barrierefreie Zugänge ohne Anmeldung und ohne Preisgabe von persönlichen Daten.

Ideal für Vereine, Behörden, Kommunen, Verkehrsbetriebe, Stadtwerke, Organisationen, Institutionen und viele mehr!

¡Hola, #Mastodon! No es fácil empezar de cero y readaptarse a una nueva red social pero creo que será una aventura muy interesante. ¡Que esto sirva de #presentación!

Haré lo posible para tener un rol más proactivo comparado con Twitter/X, donde principalmente me limitaba a repostear lo que me gusta o quería compartir sin mucha más interacción.

Por tanto procuraré darle a esta cuenta un enfoque más personal sobre mis temas de interés: videojuegos, desarrollo de software, cultura japonesa y más.

There are a lot of different types in the ActivityStreams Vocabulary.

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/

But because Mastodon only supports 8 of them (with only 2 of them being supported properly), there is "pressure" on other Fediverse software to restrict themselves to these 8.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#payloads

Because they want to be compatible with Mastodon.

Block/ignore the peertube.se instance immediately. This is run by and used by Nordfront, the media division of the Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen organization for spreading Nazi propaganda.

Of course, this being the #Fediverse, make sure to block it on all platforms, such as #Mastodon.

It's the first match on Google if you're located in Sweden, which is problematic.

I would really like the "Followers are people I trust" thing to be rethought. I have no objection to people, anyone, seeing my public posts in their feed. But "followers only" posts I want to be seen by only those I trust. I've had to say no to a bunch of follow requests because I do frequently discuss subjects I don't want everyone to see.

Google+'s Circles was probably the apex of how permissions should work for social networks, but I can understand why they're considered too complicated to implement. Nonetheless, a simple "Allow public followers" flag, with the ability to upgrade a follower to a "friend", would be a massive improvement on what we have now.

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.
https://twitter.com/petersuber/status/1307774697531113474

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.

Tekst powstał bardzo spontanicznie, poza "harmonogramem" i wynika z... irytacji. Ilekroć widzę "nie wiem, co się tutaj robi, lol, ale to głupie", to miałem ochotę nagrać film, ale skończyło się na tekście.

Może ten PROSTY tutorial komuś się przyda. Przekazujcie go sobie śmiało, gdy zobaczycie, że ktoś nie do końca radzi sobie z Mastodonem lub zastanawia się, dlaczego to takie trudne i "tu nikogo nie ma".

I tak - ten tekst dotyczy tylko Mastodona. Specjalnie o Fedi wspominam na końcu.

Turnaround of John Cyberdon – a mastodon mascot with a cyberpunk twist. He's wearing a leather jacket with purple accents and grey pants, has a mohawk and cybernetic tusks with purple LED stripes, multiple piercings in ears and trunk. 3 drawings on grey background: The first one is a front view of Cyberdon. He has multiple pins: Durstlöscher, lgbt rainbow, cyberware asset from corteximplant.com, trans anarchy, "Netrun until it breaks". The second is a 3/4 view. The third it the back view. It says OBEY THE SYSTEM in the middle of the jacket, with a sprayed "DIS" in front of it, changing the message to "DISOBEY". He has multiple pins: FCK AFD, No planet B, No TERFs on our turf, Not my king, and Jebać PIS.

¿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.

Robert Boler

@rcbo@mastodon.social

If you think words like #server, #instance, #federated, or especially #fediverse are intuitive, welcoming, or commonly understood language outside of techie circles,

then I’d like to ask that you pause and consider broadening your empathy.

Most humans don’t know what these words mean. That reduces their likelihood to embrace a nice place like #mastodon, and condemns anyone who has expertise in other fields to ad-based social media.

#Fediwall is a configurable social media wall for #mastodon, similar to Mastowall by @rstockm (AI) or all the Twitter walls that no longer work. It's #foss, so you can host your own, but you do not have to. Just configure it as you like and bookmark or share the URL.

Aprovechando que hace una semana que me moví a una instancia propia voy a hacer un pequeño resumen de lo que me he encontrado durante el proceso.

Lo primero del todo, debo aclarar que no he instalado #Mastodon desde cero en mi servidor (no estoy tan loco.. aún) he aprovechado los servicios de @mastohost que, por un precio muy comedido, te monta una instancia en unos minutos y alojada en la UE (hay otras webs del estilo pero ya sabéis eso de "malo conocido..." y si es bueno, mejor)

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...

(1/5)

ALT text details

The American Mastodon (Mastodon americanum) on a large plinth in one of the bays in the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum in London. The fossilised skeleton is seen from near face on, with the tusks of the animal curving up and above the viewer. The lighting in the bay causes shadows of the animal's ribcage to be cast onto the back wall and up onto the ribbed, arched ceiling of the bay. The colours of the bay comprise the brighly lit but muted yellows, greys and browns of the terracotta tiling and the black, grey and white of the mosaic floor tiling. A mother and her son are standing to the bottom right of the image, reading the sign for the display, with the Mastodon towering ominously above them.

ALT text details

An older photo of the east side of the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum in London, as viewed from the upper west side near the entrance at night. The scene is a mixture of shadow and brightly lit areas from spot and other lighting. The ornate, terracotta-tiled architecture dominates the photo, with columns, church-like alcoves, and arches curving across the view. In the bottom-left corner, an alcove is visible containing an elephant-like skeleton with its large head and curved tusks pointing out into the hall.

От себя тоже поприветствую всех пришедших и дам несколько советов.

✅ Заполните профиль и поставьте аватарку. Неплохой идеей будет указать там ваши увлечения или вид деятельности.
✅ Напишите что-нибудь: приветствие, пост о себе (тут используют тег #introduction)
✅ Листайте ваши локальные и глобальные ленты, и подписывайтесь на тех, кто интересен - тут нет алгоритма, который будет подсовывать вам контент. Набрать свою ленту нужно будет самостоятельно. Также возможно вам будет полезно зайти в настройки и установить языки контента, которые вы хотите видеть в ленте.
✅ Общайтесь с людьми.
✅ Не бросайте как только Twitter опять даст заднюю - дайте свободным соцсетям шанс, они могут вас удивить.

Эти простые советы могут помочь вам не заскучать и заинтересовать других людей подписаться на вас.

@mjohanning@birds.town

It's been a while since I wrote my introduction and since I've gotten a lot of new followers in the past few days and weeks, I've decided to re-write my old #introduction to reflect what I mainly do with my account now.

My name is Marvin, I currently live in Bielefeld and I earn my money as a sysadmin at a small company in Halle (Westf.)

I have a lot of hobbies, but my main hobby is, and has for a couple of years, been #photography and, more recently, birding.

I have begun mainly doing #birdphotography, #wildlifephotography and sometimes also #landscape, #macro or just other random stuff. I generally post at least one #bird #photo per day on my account and sometimes other photographs I've taken that I think are worth sharing.

I am also a great fan of the #Fediverse and have started my own #PeerTube and #Mastodon instances (birdtu.be and birds.town respectively).

tl;dr You'll find mostly birds on my account, sometimes other wildlife, insects or other general photography and also random musings from time to time as well.

Michael Tee

@michaelti@aus.social

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.

"The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom. People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms... We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it."

#Introduction
I first used #Mastodon in 2017, but I haven't actively participated in social media or internet chats since birdsite and #IRC over a decade ago. But I want to get comfortable with it again!

I'm queer: transgender non-binary; pronouns they/them. :heart_progress: :blobhaj_flag_nonbinary:

I'm a software architect in New York 🧑‍💻 — I write #Scala, #Rust, and #Typescript, but more than programming I focus on people and their ideas. I have a passion for #design, technical or otherwise, with a purpose of helping people make better decisions and find joy. I also love #accessibility in design: you, me, and all people should be empowered by advancements of society.

I'm an optimistic person. I'm hopeful the world will improve for people who are trying to make it better.

Thanks for reading, have a lovely day!

#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.

Early in the pandemic (April 2020) I started what became a long #Twitter thread on #gender #bias in academic #publishing.
https://twitter.com/petersuber/status/1252981139855355904

Starting today, I'm stopping it on Twitter and continuing it on #Mastodon.

Here's a rollup of the complete Twitter thread.

🤔 💡 ⛈️ Myślałem, myślałem i wymyśliłem. (I mi teraz bardzo smutno).

Prawie od samego początku coś mi nie pasowało w tych mediach społecznościowych. Ale teraz dotarł do mnie myśl, która jest podsumowaniem tych długich rozważań:

Korzystanie z mediów społecznościowych w celach prywatnych ma sens tylko wtedy, gdy rozmawiamy się z ludźmi, z którymi spotykamy się w rzeczywistości. Chodzi zarówno o tych ludzi, których już znamy z rzeczywistości i kontynuujemy znajomość przez media społecznościowe, jak i o tych, z którymi jeszcze nigdy się nie spotkaliśmy, ale zamierzamy się spotkać. Oraz oczywiście o tych, z którymi spotykamy się od czasu do czasu, a komunikację na mediach społecznościowych przeplatamy z kontaktami w rzeczywistości.

Kontakt z osobami, które znamy wyłącznie z internetu (i z którymi nie zamierzamy się nigdy poznać w rzeczywistości), nie jest pożywny dla naszego życia. To imitacja. Substytut. Udawanie.

😢 Długo tego nie rozumiałem. Długo nie chciałem tego zrozumieć. Teraz trudno mi się z tym pogodzić.

...

Relacja z człowiekiem, z których choć raz nie spotkaliśmy się twarzą w twarz, nie istnieje. To imitacja. Substytut. Samooszukiwanie się. 🎈 🎉

Liam Lynch

@L2actual@infosec.exchange

As I've moved my account, I'm bringing across my introduction post from my old account.

Time for my own #Introduction on #Mastodon. I planted a flag on my name here some years ago, though not realising at the time that there could be other Liam Lynches on other servers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm known as @L2actual on the bird.

I'm based in Ireland, in a rural location in County Tipperary, close to Limerick City. I'm a cybers trainer and consultant for micro, small and medium businesses and charities. I feel strongly about helping to protect these folk, as they typically don't have the resources that larger orgs can leverage. So I show them, in very simple terms, how they can easily and cheaply protect themselves and their organisations from the evil doers. I live to the maxim #SecuritySimplified as that is how I deliver the training and support.

I always had a kind of protective nature in me. I was in the FCA (army reserve) for 5 years in my late teens and I was often picked for sentry or escort duties. In college, I did event security at college gigs, especially rag week, for the 3 years I was there. I was recalled for rag week security for 2 years after I'd left college. I also worked as a doorman in a Limerick city centre pub/nightclub for a couple of years.

In college I studied for a diploma in Software Engineering and when I left I worked as a COBOL programmer on IBM System/38 and then AS/400s (iSeries). I was also handy with a toolkit and picked up a lot from watching PC techs working on the various computers and printers, so I was able to start looking after the hardware too. I also learned lots about networking in this time too, so I really enjoyed the technology side of things as opposed to the programming.

While I was still working full-time in my first job, the college I got my diploma in started to offer a degree course. So I came to an agreement with my employer that I would still work full-time, but with my timetable being flexible, to accommodate attending lectures, etc. My dissertation was titled "Computer Viruses: Germ warfare and the cost of health insurance". 😏 The only reason for the degree was to have it on the CV, because every job being advertised at the time had it as a requirement. I still see this today as a pass/fail criteria when I'm tendering for work. 🤷‍♂️

I moved around a few companies doing both programming and IT work. I subscribed to a pile of IT newsletters in order to keep up-to-date with things, but I was always more interested in reading the security type news. InfoSec was something of a new area in those days of the late 90s and most of the responsibility seemed to lay with IT ... i.e. Me!

In my last corporate job, while it was a "good" job and which I did it well, I never really enjoyed it. An opportunity arose to take some redundancy which got me out of the rut I was stuck in. I tried getting into some infosec roles, but I firmly believe the fact I was in my mid/late 40s at the time went against me and the hiring companies would have preferred somebody more junior.

So I took the plunge and set up my own business, L2 Cyber Security Solutions, in January 2016 and while it was very slow getting business early on, it has been growing steadily since.

Running my own business gives me the flexibility to be able to do something I truly love. Walking my dogs. I currently have two, Scamp and Paddy (see my other pinned toot for a picture). For the last 20 years or so, I've always had rescue dogs of some shape or description. Foxy (2002-2014), Scully (2002-2005), Abbey (2003-2018), Dino (2007-2020), Scamp (2014-today), Paddy (2019-today) - the first year given there may not be their birth year, but is the year they were adopted. Scully, for example, was at least 10 years old when we got him.

My ex-wife and I fostered dogs for smaller rescues for a few years as well. One time we had 14 dogs in the house. 10 puppies from the same litter, their mother and our own three. That was a pretty hectic time, particularly as the mother came to us VERY undernourished and the pups came a few days later. She also only had eight working teats, so we had to make sure all the pups got fed. We eventually stopped fostering as it was getting harder and harder for us to handover the dogs we looked after to their new forever homes.

There's probably lots more I could put in here, but I think the above gives a good understanding of me and my two loves - cybers and dogs.

- @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. 😋

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.

When there is a user in another instance whose posts are not all reflected in the instance that I use, does anyone know how to (or if it is ever possible right now) boost some older post?

It seems to me that even the id of some post is different when I open it from my instance website, and from the original instance website. I was trying to think I could maybe just copy the id and try to force it to load somehow.

⚠️ 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!)

One of the interesting ways in which this shows up is that in addition to email, RSS and calendars, Vivaldi has also actively promoted support for #Mastodon, in a very simple yet effective way (providing a Web Panel for their instance; you can add your own). I expect the same will work on other #Fediverse platforms, as long as they provide a functional web interface with good “small screen” support (since this is effectively what the Web Panels use).

Of Bookish Things

@JPK_elmediat@c.im

#Intro #Introduction Well, here I am posting about #BookishThings. I joined a #Mastodon instance back in April of last year, when the threat of Muskification of Bird began looming on the horizon. By January of this year, I began thinking about the overabundance of material-topics I had for potential posting.
Three projects also came to mind. 1) A #TarotCard layout based on #Narrative #PlotLine. I've explored this idea using the #CelticCrossLayout, and will try to take it a bit further.
#KelticLayout #SelfExploration #Jungian #CreativeWriting
https://impliedspaces.wordpress.com/the-keltic-layout-for-the-tarot-plot-structure/
2) I've acquired too much material for my #ScannedCollages. I'm branching out with #AlteredBook #AsemblageArt. #Collage #CollageArt #Assemblage #Books #AlteredBookArt
3) "Try to motivate my reading by using the #PicturePromptBingo #2023 to give me as much flexibility in choices." My #BookPile needs to get a small dent (at least). 😂 Picture Prompt bingo card a loosey-goosey#ReadingChallenge in which you match books that you’ve read to one of the pictures on the bingo card. The key thing is that you be as #creative in your #interpretation of the picture as you like. #BookChoice #Book #Prompt

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!

Rhialto

@rhialto@mastodon.sdf.org

There is a very annoying #bug in #mastodon #follow #requests.
I migrated here from another instance and lots of the people I was following are marked as "follow requested".
But they don't have the setting that they have to approve follow requests.
My gf and I cannot even follow each other. Same problem. And we can't find where we are supposed to approve these follow requests.
This is very annoying!

If you’re new to #mastodon, things work a little differently here than you may be used to. There is no algorithm, only people. We discover and share content with hashtags, and “boosting” posts
You can follow this account for server notices and announcements.

New users: if your home feed is boring/patchy/haphazard, it's because you're not following enough!

Guidelines for getting the most out of #mastodon:

- Follow EVERYONE who has any overlapping interests. You can always unfollow later, but they will boost and give your timeline broader reach. It gets good in the hundreds

- Follow hashtags of interest

- Block hashtags that you don't want (settings > filters) to curate your feed

- Boost lots to improve everyone's feed

Tiny Mastodon Tips for Newcomers :mastodon:

About your Profile Page 👤

If you just arrived here,
before following lots of people, it’s a good idea to complete your profile page.

This will increase the chances of people following you back and/or finding your profile.

1. Write about who you are and/or what you like in your profile bio (you can use hashtags there so people can find you). It’s okay if it’s short, but write something 📝

2. Personalize your profile picture with something you like. Don’t just let the Mastodon default, it makes you look like an anonymous bot. And you are not a bot! (unless you are) 🤖

3. You can write an introduction about yourself in a post and use the hashtag “# introduction” (minus the space). You can pin this to your profile page so it stays at the top. You don’t have to write it right away, but it can help people finding you and deciding to follow you #️⃣

4. Post or Boost (repost) a few posts that you like, so that your profile timeline isn’t completely empty :boost_ok:

5. Then, when your profile looks like a page that represents you, follow people interesting to you. Browse your feeds and hashtags you like to find them. Interact with them. Be kind 💚 Make friends! :ablobsmile:

6. Magic! ✨

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.

@wrathoftesla@infosec.exchange

Elon Musk is neither smart nor intelligent. If he was, and if he really cared about free speech, he would have realized the true potential of #mastodon and instead of buying #twitter for $44B, he could have donated a fraction of it for the development of #mastodon.

👋 time for an #introduction! I am the wpbot and #WordPress is my life, literally.

Things I'm really good at are #RSS, posting to #Mastodon and keeping lists. Aside from that, punctuality is one of my good qualities.

My typical workday is quite structured, every hour I'm going through my lists and post new awesome WordPress content.

Love my job, but work/live-balance can be off sometimes, I mean full-time job really hits the spot in my case. So I like #coffee as well.

As @shengokai says ⬆️, if we want Mastodon's history to matter for the present, we need to look in detail about 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 credited) without whitewashing the past.

Feedback and discussion welcome!

Publié il y a 25 ans, le #Manifeste du web indépendant (1997) offre un écho assez incroyable à ce qui se passe actuellement autour de #Mastodon... Ce texte inspiré et inspirant a beaucoup marqué mes premiers pas sur la toile, dessinant une trajectoire riche de tant de possibilités à propos de cet incroyable espace de liberté. Merci à ses auteurs ! Il est toujours disponible en ligne à son adresse d'origine : http://www.uzine.net/article60.html

ALT text details

Extrait du manifeste du Web indépendant : "Face aux sites commerciaux aux messages publicitaires agressifs, destinés à ficher et cibler les utilisateurs, le Web indépendant propose une vision respectueuse des individus et de leurs libertés, il invite à la réflexion et au dialogue. Quand les sites d’entreprises se transforment en magazines d’information et de divertissement, quand les mastodontes de l’info-spectacle, des télécommunications, de l’informatique et de l’armement investissent le réseau, le Web indépendant propose une vision libre du monde, permet de contourner la censure économique de l’information, sa confusion avec la publicité et le publi-reportage, sa réduction à un spectacle abrutissant et manipulateur." Texte complet : http://www.uzine.net/article60.html

@jippi@expressional.social

Mastodon har ingen algoritmer! Så måden "Boost" (retweet) og "Favorite" (like) fungerer på er anderledes.

1) "Favorite" giver ikke den originale besked større reach som et "like" gør på Twitter. Det er *kun* mellem dig og forfatteren af beskeden. Mere et "Tak".

2) "Boost" vil derimod blive sendt ud til *dine* followers, og øge beskedens reach - så brug "Boost" tit og ofte, og se den som en "Like"+"Retweet" i én knap.

Hello World !

Me voici donc sur #Mastodon. Petite #introduction :

Dans le domaine de l'informatique et du Web depuis près de 20 ans, je suis un ancien influenceur de Twitter, réseau que j'ai définitivement quitté en août 2024 après avoir été inactif un bon moment.

On me connaît notamment pour ma bienveillance envers les autres, mon aide technique offerte à qui en a besoin et mes conseils technologiques.

Je parlerai #techno, #informatique, #musique et bien d'autres sujets.

Ou pour mamot qui est stable depuis un moment j'imagine (ping @admin ).

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.

mastodon/fediverse self hosting survival guide

1) How do I get my own #mastodon /server? I am not a sysadmin. There is 2 routes to this.

a) a managed hosting like masto.host.
➕ very good for no technical experience. web server cost is built in. somebody else is doing all the maintenance
➖ it does cause a bit of a centralization, very few reputable options so limits the options to move.

@nikkiana@social.yesterweb.org

This is a message for those who have arrived as a part of the #TwitterMigration in the past week or so.....

If I could tell you anything right now, it's that you need to let yourself grieve.

Twitter was undoubtedly a big part of many of our lives, personal and professional, for the past 16 years, and many of us made life changing connections there.

Be gentle with yourself in the coming weeks. This is a really big shift, and it can feel really frightening. It's okay to feel sad. It's okay to feel angry.

What I'd recommend before you try to dive in and start to figure out how #mastodon works, is to put down your phone, close your laptop and do something else for awhile. Take a walk. Do some yoga. Spend time with your kids. Draw some random lines on a piece of paper and then round all the edges where the lines intersect. It doesn't really matter what you do, just that you go ground yourself a little bit. Trust me, you'll feel much more willing to learn something new if you go do that for awhile.

And when you feel ready, come back here. Tell us what you did with your time away from the computer.

After that, we can talk about what you miss about Twitter, and what all your life goals are, and what kind of social media site you want to hang out on, and if it really matters that you build a website for your business, or whether you should actually quit that job and do something else.

There will be time to talk about all of that later. Get some rest. Go take care of yourself. You're amazing, and I love you. I'm glad you're here.

Boost the toot, and pass it on. <3

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.

@chendo@mastodon.social

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.

Late #introduction to #Mastodon! Hi, I'm Ramón, computer scientist, game developer, game and movie fan, artist, 1/4 Puerto Rican from Germany and hobby reviewer of games.

My favorite game genres are adventures and platformers. I started making games in 2005 when I discovered the fan adventure project Maniac Mansion Mania. During this time I created several retro graphics. Due to personal reasons and studies I was not able to make more games. I hope I can make up for that.

@ppla2011@troet.cafe

Ihr lieben, wenn ich auf Fehlende Bildbeschreibungen hinweise, geht es nicht darum, etwas aufzwingen zu wollen, sondern darum, das #Mastodon so inklusiv bleibt wie bisher. Ist mir sehr wichtig, das deutlich zu machen #Barrierefreiheit #Inklusion #Accessibility #Neuhier #Introduction

@stux@masto.ai

Welcome all new happy faces on Masto.ai :blobcathearts:

And don't worry! If your face is not happy yet, we understand. Maybe you came from Twitter and you are looking for more friendly online home!

Stop your search! You are home now ❤️

Welcome on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse :mastodon:

Robert von Burg

@eitch@mstdn.gsi.li

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.

Dave

@meulop@mastodon.online

I forgot to do an #introduction, so hi!

Professionally I make #computers go "beep" and occasionally "boop" if I'm feeling fancy. On the Bad Place I mostly post elaborate #puns and describe ways my kids (aka #hatchlings) have outsmarted me. Used to run a #BoardGames group but rarely find the time now, sadly. Interested in #maths, #science, #language, #puzzles, #VideoGames and probably #OtherThingsThatIHaveForgotten.

Not sure exactly how I'll use #Mastodon - work in progress...

Instead of a big #Mastodon #Introduction I'll pass on two bits of news in my world:

I published a novel earlier this year retelling #SherlockHolmes and "The Hound of the Baskervilles" from the perspective of the villain:

https://j-nelson.net/a-man-named-baskerville/

My game "According to Cain" is an entry in this year's #InteractiveFiction Competition (going on now!). It's a fantasy/mystery involving alchemy and mythology:

Thanks for reading!

Una cosa molto interessante per non oberare un'istanza che viene mandata avanti da volontari tipo https://mastodon.uno è quella di essere dei buon mastodontini e non tenere per sempre tutta la roba che si posta per sempre, tipo i post con le foto delle carbonare alle 2 di notte, liberando risorse.

Now I have moved over time to do a new #introduction post!

Hello everyone, I'm Zachary. I've been an #Android developer since 2009 (long live the HTC Magic). More recently I have made the switch into #DevRel working as an Android Developer Advocate.

Last month I turned to the dark side and was promoted to manager.

Outside of work I enjoy painting #warhammer, playing #minecraft and building #lego

So amazing to see #mastodon so busy and active!

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social

Learning #Mastodon etiquette: so a short Introduction: I do research on #media, #journalism, #polcomm, #AI, #digital #tech, #politics and #democracy. I am based at U #Amsterdam and also direct the Digital Democracy Centre at U Southern Denmark. My interests are (too) broad, I am impatient, score high on #badhumor, energetic and generally optimistic. I am here to learn, frustrate Elon, and I will post mostly about work, but with occasional #dogsofmastodon, #running, and irrelevant photo content.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘:

Content Warning (CW) is used quite liberally here. It’s an amazing Mastodon feature! Use it as often as it might be helpful.

You can use Content Warning to hide a toot (post) your are writing that:

- discusses or displays topics that might disturb other users (ex: violence, nudity, mental health, food, etc) ⚠️

- discusses or displays topics that you think could be annoying or irrelevant to other users (ex: twitter, local politics, very long post, whom-who-shall-not-be-named, etc) 🔕

- discusses spoilers of a tv show, movie, video game, or book 🤯

- hides a joke you want to create a special surprise for! :awesome:

HOW TO❓

1. On desktop, below the toot writing field, click on “CW” in the menu. The button’s icon and label may vary for mobile apps, but it should be there!

2. This will add an extra title field above with “Write your warning here” (or similar label).

3. Write the warning (what people will see) for your toot (ex: “Spoiler Star Trek Discovery Season 10!” or “Discussion of violence:” etc).

4. Write your toot normally in the field “What’s on your mind?” (or similar label) and Publish!

5. People will have to click on “Show More” to see the content of your toot.

6. Magic!✨

Ok #StarWars mutuals on #Mastodon, let's get this #introduction going towards the GFFA:

* Luke Skywalker is and always will be my favorite character (from young Luke to grumpy Luke)
* TLJ is the best Disney SW movie so far
* Rebels is essential SW and I would trade almost all movies for that show
* Gilroy is god (Andor)
* Ahsoka should’ve been animated
* Thrawn is the best anti-hero SW ever had (at least in the new canon novels)
* The Jedi video games are excellent!

What about you?

Jyn Erso Lives!

@jynersolives@mastodon.social

Where are my #DoctorWho mutuals on #Mastodon? Here's a short #introduction Who-wise:

* Favorite Classic Doctor is 7, the great Sylvester McCoy
* Moffat Who is peak Who, both classic and new
* Peter Capaldi was the most interesting new Doctor
* Clara is my favorite companion of new Who, while Ace and Liz Shaw share the top spot in Classic Who
* I'm SO GLAD that the Chibnall era is over
* But I still love s11 with Demons Of The Punjab and It Takes You Away

@redezem@aus.social

Alrighty, now that I've sat down in front of my laptop again, time for an #introduction

Hi! I'm Stefan (Redezem is my old IRC handle), from Perth, Australia. I'm an #infosec guy working as the CTO of a little startup called Hyprfire. I love talking to people about tech stuff, breaking things, building things, and thinking about ways to make the world (or at least the computer world) better.

I've managed to pick up quite a few of the computing infinity stones so far, I write code, I administer systems, I architect solutions, I can design build and debug networks, I can hack, and I can work with every major OS. I'm also a big hardware geek and love talking about any and all of the above.

I've worked as a uni lecturer, a uni tutor, a software engineer, an incident response engineer, and now as a CTO. I'm published in a couple research papers and have talked at both #blackhat and #defcon.

I'm not a big fan of corporate controlled social media due to the baleful influence of surveillance capitalism... but #mastodon seems pretty neat so far!

So yeah, hi! Follow me for cyber stuff, random musings on news, and pictures of the most chill capital city in the world 😀

#Mastodon è un progetto open source che intende riportare il social network nelle mani degli utenti.

IL software è distribuito gratuitamente mentre i server che lo ospita devono essere potenziati con l'aumentare degli utenti e dei messaggi.

Avere server più grandi comporta costi maggiori e richiede più energia con un maggiore impatto ambientale.

Si possono però diminuire i costi e l'impatto sull'ambiente eliminano i propri vecchi messaggi:

if chatting by email already felt crazily awesome, you will love to do social networking by chat by email! 🦄
and if you do chat a lot via DM you will appreciate the chat view for your private conversations

Siete su #mastodon, il social è nelle vostre mani.

Curate la timeline "Home", scegliete bene chi seguire, create liste tematiche, non ricambiate, lurkate le sezioni esplora dei post, hashtag e notizie.

Commentate, condividete, boostate, fate crescere attorno a voi la bellezza.

Questo non è un social con i compagni di scuola.

Non è un social delle polemiche pesanti e infinite.

Filtrate le parole che non vi piacciono, silenziate, bloccate. Non siamo arrivati qua per antagonizzare qualcuno ☮️

これから、Ubuntu 22.04 LTSでMastodonを動かす機会が増えてくると思いますが、はまったやつを2点、共有しておきます。

■ /home/mastodonのパーミッションが変わり、Mastodonのフロントリソースが読み込めない

Ubuntu 21.04からだそうですが、ホームディレクトリのデフォルトのパーミッションが755から750になっています。

これにより、nginxが/home/mastodon以下を読めず、cssやjsなどが404になります。

sudo chmod 755 /home/mastodon

しちゃっていいんじゃないかな。

■ OpenSSL 3.0環境なのでruby 3.1より前のビルドに失敗する

現行のMastodonはruby 3.1まで大丈夫（とかいてある）ので、3.1.2に変えちゃいます。

cd ~/live
rbenv install 3.1.2
rbenv local 3.1.2

古いMastodonの場合はこれみて。

🌟 A los nuevos usuarios de #Mastodon y el #Fediverso 🌟

Les recomiendo mucho que en cuanto ingresen pongan una foto de perfil o avatar, que llenen el campo de su biografía explicando un poquito sobre sus aficiones y gustos para que los demás les empiecen a conocer. También es importante enviar #MiPrimerToot público para que se hagan visibles para otros usuarios. Interactúen y platiquen. Así, será más probable que les sigan.

Visiten su línea de tiempo local para conocer a la gente de su instancia o la federada para conocer a quienes se encuentran fuera de ella.

Si suben imágenes, por favor, tómense el tiempo de poner una descripción corta para los que tienen problemas visuales.

So I will find you, I will (re)follow you and I'm kindly asking to (re)follow me back 🙂

Privacy Guide 1984

@datenschutzratgeber@mastodon.social

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.

betamax 65 💉💉💉

@betamax65@troet.cafe

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.

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:

https://fediland.github.io

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.

Im Vordergrund sind zwei Screenshots von den Ergebnissen unterschiedlichen Einstellungen. Auf der linken Seite ist ein Beitrag unter Verwendung des "High Contrast Theme" zu sehen, bei dem Links eine andere Farbe haben als Text, womit auch Hashtags andersfarbig erscheinen. Auf der rechten Seite ist ein Screenshot eines Beitrages unter Verwendung des Dark Theme, bei dem Links annähernd die selbe Farbe haben wie der restliche Text, wodurch der Kontrast zwischen Links, zu denen auch Hashtags zählen, und restlichem Text, geringer ausfällt.

#Introductions

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.

¡Hola chicas y chicos del #Fediverso!

Les comparto esta conferencia sobre las #RedesSocialesLibres, ¿qué son? ¿cómo funcionan? ¿cuáles son sus características? ¿porqué se llaman "libres"?

Espero les parezca tan buena como a mí.

Quiero agradecer a @reese_pony@mastodon.art por haberla compartido.
