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 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! github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

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! github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

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! 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 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

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

I ran 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.

One thing I love about 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.

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

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

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.

“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.

大家好, 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。

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (, ), 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.

We are not a business, we don't want growth growth growth, we just want to build our own small community in the fediverse. Isn't that what it is meant for?
Without a community the project will die. is an open source project like many others.

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'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 and users seems unending. Perhaps X’s decentralized protocol could be the key to ending this perpetual discord.

The last 3 or 4 weeks the algorithm has been so bad on #Mastodon - it's hard to justify putting 12-15 hours a day on here and busting your ass when you just get throttled to hell and back for no reason.

l've talked to hundreds of large account creators and it's the same for all of them. None of them understand this insane strategy.

It makes no sense throttling the hell out of everyone when Mastodon should want their advertisers getting as many views possible.

I just don't get it.

I know everyone understands what l'm talking about because it's happening to everyone.

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

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.

If someone's profile looks blank on here, don't assume it is actually blank. Some accounts, especially newer ones or ones with few followers, may look blank even if they aren't.

There's more info about this, why it happens and how to check what the profile really looks like in the guide:

➡️ fedi.tips/why-does-someones-ac

You can prevent your own account ever looking blank to anyone by pinning up to five posts or five threads on your profile:

I can go and write a malicious client right now and go and read your follower-only messages. That’s beyond fucked up.

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 github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

I'm curious, is the recent decline in Fediverse users and activity due to people moving to BlueSky? What other factors might there be?

I'm sure there are ebbs and flows over time. But I do hope the overall trend continues to be upward.

Screen shot of charts from fedidb.org. The chart date range is from March 4, 2025 to March 17, 2025. The top chart shows total number of users declining from 15.1 million to 11.5 million. The bottom chart shows monthly active users declining from 1.3 million to 1.1 million.

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 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 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: wiki.fediverse.games/en/charte

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

Hauptthema: 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.

:fediverse: Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
:fediverse: Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
:fediverse: Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.

Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: dus.webinar-welt.de/rooms/il6-

Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋‍♀️

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

Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!







Fediverse Sprechstunde am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr
via Web-Konferenz (BBB) - öffentlich
sehen - hören - sprechen - zeigen - mitmachen
Jeder ist dazu eingeladen sich an der Talk-Runde zu beteiligen um gemeinsam über Fediverse zu sprechen.

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

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

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

In it, I suggest:

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

👉 Where you can register a new account

👉 How you can "migrate" to a new account

👉 Discussing hosting your own personal server

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

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

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

ℹ️ Please remember that this thread is not communication with support staff, but just a chat with people who decided to help out on their own initiative.

🫡 Thanks to all the users. I wish you all a cozy new home.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
DON’T FORGET that Mastodon has a migration feature, and you can take all your followers with you. You don’t need to start from scratch and lose your connections! To learn more – keep reading the thread!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️

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

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

В нём предлагаю:

👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать

👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт

👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт

👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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!

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!

My always up-to-date table of now 942 verified media accounts in the (which is not on anymore) is beginning to be helpful:
➡️ fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview

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

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

Here is what the GreatApe login screen looks like on a mobile-phone web-browser.

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

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

(We plan to support more Fediverse and DeSo logins later.)

I hate to tell Zuck this but if FB has changed so that it is “no longer primarily about connecting with friends” it’s because the algorithms FB has implemented no longer allow for it. People still want to connect & engage with friends & family, as well as make new connections. The difficulty in doing finding & connecting with friends across multiple instances is one of the greatest hurdles Mastodon & the 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 benzinga.com/25/04/44807557/ma

If you tap the "Login With Mastodon" button, you will be taken to a screen that looks something like this.

A few popular Mastodon servers are already listed.

But, if your Mastodon server is not on that list, you can also choose it, by telling GreatApe the URL to your Mastodon server.

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:

➡️ fedi.tips/using-two-factor-aut

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

Two years ago yesterday, I signed up here in protest.

For months, I posted into the void, interacted and followed people and slowly I built, and continue to build, my online family. It's not easy.

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.

But for all the difficulties the payoff for me is enormous. This is my online home and you are my online people.

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.

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 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:

div.status:has(img:not([alt])),
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.

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.

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

--

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

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 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: github.com/tryvocalcat/activit

Who wants a badge of early adopter?

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

Recently, I set up a VPS running YunoHost.

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

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

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

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

Will I need a relay server for a single-user instance?

Any other key things I should be aware of before diving in?

You can optionally set Mastodon to ignore any DMs from accounts you don't follow:

1. Log onto your server’s website or web app
2. Click 🔔 Notifications
3. Click ⚙️ in top right corner of the Notifications section
4. In "Unsolicited private mentions" click the dropdown menu and select "Ignore"
5. When the confirmation box appears, click "Ignore notifications"

If you activate this, you may want to mention it in your profile so people realise their DMs won't get to you.

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.

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?

Kudos to @Gargron and the entire Mastodon team, they've done some foundational work that is often replicated in other projects!

Pixelfed is inspired by their amazing work, and we are adding filters based on their powerful implementation.

Don't forget to support your Fedi admins in any way you can.

Fediverse isn't run by multi-billion dollar companies, and in a lot of cases, is simply run by kind folks who just want to have a nice social media platform.

Therefore, there's a high chance that the server costs come out of their pockets.

Support your admins. They help Fedi go round.🫶

Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.

Goblins need spare computers everywhere!


Can we have a on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?

Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?

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:

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 , , , und auch lange Texte ganz wunderbar. Auch meine eigene -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 lebt doch gerade von dieser Vielfalt, oder? Lasst uns das feiern – in 500 Zeichen oder in 5.000. 💛

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Appreciate all you do for !

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.

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

Some good news about , 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.

@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。FedifyBun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 lot of people use notes for keeping track of why they blocked or muted someone, but there are also lots of other purposes.

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Appreciate all you do for !

<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 !

Does anyone know where Mastodon admins hang out online?

I'd like to get better at tuning and running my instance, but I'm reaching the limit of how far I can get pulling at web searches. I'm running into some "Why does that tool do that" questions that are hard to sort out.

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 , 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, !

over the last week or so, we've been preparing to move hachy's zones from 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 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 --> 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.

Is there any / 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" can link that directly into . (Just like mailto and xmpp URIs open my E-Mail or IM app respectively)

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

@nw@ioc.exchange

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. There are those left behind on FB, BlueSky where there is little real engagement, WikiTree not so much chat, still a few emails groups. Then there is with @geneadons @genealogy Do we really need another space - discuss!

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 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 and other -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 !

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.

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger 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 and other -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 !

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

@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.

🚀 Znikali wam obserwujący z dużych instancji -a? Bez ich jakiegokolwiek udziału, bez celowego unfollow?

No to już wiadomo, jaki błąd to powodował:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p

Łatka wpadła 40 minut temu do repo i będzie backportowana na starsze wersje masto.

W skrócie:
Mastodon implementuje specyfikację FEP-8fcf (synchronizacja kolekcji obserwujących na różnych serwerach), ale oczekuje, że wszyscy obserwujący będą w jednej kolekcji na jednej stronie odpowiedzi. Gdy odpowiedź, czyli obserwujący, byli podzieleni na wiele stron, mastodon pobierał tylko pierwszą stronę odpowiedzi i nieprawidłowo usuwał wszystkich obserwujących z kolejnych stron!

Dzięki @hongminhee za informację 👍

Najprawdopodobniej błąd nie dotyczy synchronizacji mastodon <-> mastodon tylko z innymi serwerami, implementującymi paginację kolekcji. I raczej dotyczy większych list obserwujących.

@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!

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。

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:

➡️ fedi.tips/using-mastodon-throu

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.

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 🙂

How is it possible that there is no button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, and independent social media platform.

How wil the reach and when its gives such a bad example.

Practice what you preach!

Habe einen Infozettel zum -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!)

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:

A couple of months ago I tried to migrate my account (this one) to my instance (suigow.com) and it wouldn't work.

While testing tonight, I figured it out. Even though the bug is fixed, it looks like it might not be. Mastodon caches accounts and for some reason doesn't pick up the alias.

I did an update of the profile of the receiving account that caused it to update the profile on the Mastodon instance. That fixed it, the migration worked.

I hadn't checked my follower count in a while, but now that I did, it looks like it's about to surpass what I ever had during my 17 years on Twitter - the magic number is 7000.

The funny thing is, even when my follower count was much lower, the activity here was far greater than it ever was on Twitter.

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)

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。

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 ⬇️

People always seem weirded out when I tell them I'm not on any corporate social media.

But it's been so long for me, I barely remember how it was there.

I just remember that I feel so much better since I deleted all these corporate accounts and decided to invest all my social media time in Mastodon instead.

I feel like I live in some blissful parallel universe that almost no one else knows about. Anyhow, I live here now :neocat_box:

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 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 , 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: 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.

I updated my mutual aid goals to more accurately reflect my current mutual aid needs, i ended up overspending on basic necessities (toilet paper and other things i didnt account for) and so i dropped my glasses fund down a bit, and i now need more money for food.

Please, any donations would help me greatly! Please help me. I am an extremely poor trans girl living in an abusive and transphobic home and i need money to afford my basic necessities. Please donate whatever you can!

current goals:

food: 0$/75$

prescription glasses: 100$/250$

miscellaneous basics: 0$/100$

@evan This is where being able to have a basic plug-in backbone could be beneficial for the Mastodon software. Devs could develop spam plug-in, instance specific monetization, Online Safety Act plugins meeting requirements for specific location, etc. without messing with the Mastodon's core code

@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.

Habe einen Infozettel zum -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

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.”

It might help small instances (like mine ;) to get more complete threads from other instances and avoid the duplication of replies with the same/similar content because not all replies are visible everywhere. github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p cc @evan FYI 1/2

Some good news about , 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.

Some good news about , 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.

This commit on adds a new feature called "Fetch all replies"to the backend. This is an important step forward. It might help small instances (like mine ;) to get more complete threads from other instances and avoid the duplication of replies with the same/similar content because not all replies are visible everywhere. github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p cc @evan FYI 1/2

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.

There's no perfect way to do "Comment with Mastodon" for external websites, because 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.

is not designed to have one universal ID for the whole , 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 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 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.

If I find an interesting post on another instance, say via RSS or someone sends me a link, and I then decide I want to interact with the post (e.g., Like, Repost) I'm greeted with "<snipped nice greeting> You are not logged in to this server.

It seems that I'm unable to follow people on 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".

This may be the beginning of the end of me hosting my own Mastodon instance...

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:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-pin-my-post

Here's why it matters: there's a quirk on Mastodon where some profiles may appear blank to people on some servers, but profiles with pinned posts never look blank to anyone!

My Lemmy use case from Mastodon:

1. Create a list
2. Search for @lemmy.world and @lemm.ee
3. Add your preferred communities

This makes it easy to follow, comment, and interact with topics from a single list.

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:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-pin-my-post

Here's why it matters: there's a quirk on Mastodon where some profiles may appear blank to people on some servers, but profiles with pinned posts never look blank to anyone!

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

Interoperability is great, but it would be much more convenient if we could fully use the Lemmy or Pixelfed interfaces with just a Mastodon account. Right now, it still feels like having a separate account is necessary to access the full feature set and user experience.

Am I missing something in but is there not a way for me to remove tags from my timeline?

My use-case is simple. I for example follow the SilentSunday tag because I find it very relaxing to just scroll through pretty pictures.

But it's quite a busy tag that I would like to exclude from my Home timeline but not mute.

Tag 6 im 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 auf bekommen.

A screenshot of a GNOME desktop. The top bar is a dark purple colour. The Activities overview background is a pale purple colour. The wallpaper shows a fiery dark purple image. There are a few windows showing (VS Code, another text editor, the Ghostty terminal). It is all very purple, matching the Mastodon brand colours.

You can remove followers without blocking them by using Mastodon's follower management system:

1. Sign in on your server’s website or web app
2. Click ⚙️ Preferences
3. Click "Follows and followers" (if you’re on a phone click ☰ and then "Follows and followers")
4. In the Relationship section click on Followers
5. Select the followers you want to remove
6. Click on "Remove selected followers"

Thanks for enabling #GtS support, I can confirm it works.
GtS also handles notifications more according to the standard than #Mastodon. Has this been taken into consideration as well?

There are days when I clearly too much because I think it might interest others.
Tip: If someone boosts too much, you don't need to mute that person. You can click on the 3 dots at the top of each profile and select ‘hide boosts from XY’. Then you will only read what the persons babble themselves.

: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:

p.s. This goes *doubly* for anything you think people NEEEED to see, ok? :frog_sus:

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.

So before you HOA ppl on how they're using the (& further vindicate Bsky & Threads as hassle-free), maybe instead push for Mastodon to expand beyond 500 characters.

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.

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 developers completely overdoing their role in controlling content in the ?

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

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

So / / 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 " 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.

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.

There is an optional feature on Mastodon which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time:

➡️ fedi.tips/deleting-posts-autom

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

The setup process for autodelete also lets you choose types of post or specific posts not to delete.

(If you want to keep everything, just don't activate autodelete 🙂 )

I just updated my personal Mastodon server to the latest 4.3.4 version. It was a bit bumpier due to needing to upgrade some dependencies, but one major change for folks who modify the number of poll options, this is now handled inside app/validators/poll_options_validator.rb

I suppose I should do a #introducton since I spun up my own instance even though I'm not entirely new to the fediverse.

My bio says most of what you need to know, but in general I try to advocate for an open, free internet outside of corporate control and share personal advice for navigating this digital landscape.

I run a few different services that are open to people I'm at least acquainted with. Very pro individual liberties when it comes to politics. And I kinda post whatever I feel like. Mostly about the aforementioned internet topics, but definitely can deviate time to time.

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.

  1. Does the Home feed operate on a finite set of unambiguous instructions? Yes.
  2. Is there a set of initial conditions? Yes.
  3. Is it performed in a prescribed sequence? Yes.
  4. Does it achieve a certain goal? Yes.
  5. 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.

@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.

@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.

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.

I just heard about Mastodon today and I signed up because I'm fed up with Facebook.
I do mods and create custom guitars from inexpensive ones. I produce original music & produce 2 YouTube channels.
Any ideas on how to do this Mastodon would be greatly appreciated

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 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. 💜

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

After 8 years spent on Mastodon, I know the limits of the 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: 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".

Solicita ingresar en la lista. Lo único es que antes revisa que en Preferencias>Perfil Público>Privacidad y Alcance tengas activadas las casillas de descubrimiento.

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.

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 and accounts could work better together.

There's a lot of *assumed knowledge* about the ... 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 or for example? Or ?

That nobody (new) ever sees your posts?

I KNOW THIS QUESTION SEEMS WEIRD, BUT — THERE IS A SMALL GROUP THAT IS CURRENTLY ARGUING MOST PEOPLE ON THE FEDIVERSE WANT TO BE HIDDEN IN THIS WAY

They don't represent me. And I don't think they should (even implicitly) speak for me

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HIDDEN LIKE THIS — PLEASE VOTE "NO"

If you look at the distribution of the traffic, the Top20 of the articles take a different chunk. So, for example, from the biggest article brought half of the traffic, from the whole Top20 brings about 20 %.

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.

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.

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.

These corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?

Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on and and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

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.

Bluesky is the land of fake followers. I've got 1.3 Thousand now, somehow.

1.3k followers, typically 0-1 likes on posts. No real engagement. Not unless you're a large account from that other place. Hell, I didn't come from that other place. I don't understand at all why some of those personalities are so popular.

Ich sag mal so, wäre ich nicht bei

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

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

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 and . 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?

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???

Fediverse Reportが、Mastodonで実装予定の引用機能とその影響について論じてる。

Mastodon CEOのEugen氏は、引用機能が嘲笑や嫌がらせなどの有害行為につながると考えてきた。

一方で、Twitterの引用ツイートに関する30以上の研究を分析した報告では、引用機能が有害行為を増やすか減らすかについては"矛盾する証拠があり、どんな影響があるとしても、それは大きなものではない"と結論付けられてるとのこと。

That’s it, that’s the mechanism.

Forget users, even users cannot find fellow users from their regions, or find posts about the global south, even if both exist.

This happens with most global south users, and with an overwhelming majority of the posts on global south topics.

That’s how , and the rest of the , invisiblize the global south.

Generalize mastodon.social in the above example to all mainstream, primarily , servers. No user on any of those servers will ever become aware of user X’s post containing , even if some of them consciously search for the term.

I have argued a few times that for all practical purposes, the global south does not exist for Mastodon, and for the rest of the Fediverse. But many people I interact with do not quite understand how this works in practice.

This series of posts is an effort to illustrate that mechanism.

And just for the record —

Just like everyone else I contacted about their 'discoverable' flag being defaulted to 'false' —

He wasn't aware of the 'discoverable' flag existing (just like everyone else I contacted).

He didn't want to be hidden (just like everyone else I contacted).

He changed it to 'true' (just like everyone else I contacted).

As it is now, I think the 'discoverable' flag is broken.

And, I think the whole user-experience (UX) around the 'discoverable' flag is poor.

And, I think Fediverse software treating a 'false' value for 'discoverable' as "not discoverable" (rather than "not discoverable" or "no choice made") has hugely negative consequences for the user-experience (UX) of the Fediverse

As it is now, the 'discoverable' flag seems broken to me.

Because 'false' doesn't actually mean 'false'.

'false' (in practice) means both "not discoverable" and "no choice made". And this is a very unfortunate situation —

Because the idea of a 'discoverable' flag is a good idea — but this problem with the meaning of 'false' and the UX consequences a big deal.

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

We could have had so that:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mastodon 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 , 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 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.

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".

I would like to create, as complete as possible, a matrix with the features of each Fediverse software, make it available in a prominent place for all interested parties and make it easier for newcomers to choose the Fediverse software that suits their needs.
So - if you know, use or develop one of the SWs listed below and can spare 15 minutes of your life, please contact @LasseGismo to support the project.
I will provide a cryptpad link to enter the changes/additions directly into the table.
If you also think that a software is missing and want to contribute to the content, you are of course welcome to contact me.
Here is the link to the template, with thanks to Chris.

Fediversefeature-Matrix-EN.xlsx

Boosts are of course very welcome.

Thank you for your time - only together we are strong.

I'm an old introvert, decided that the last stage of my life is going to be making games. Right now it's happening on Unreal Engine.

I'm very sad that Mastodon has stopped being active for indie developers. The statistics haven't changed for over a year, while other social networks are much more active... are you people in bluesky?

Adding meaningful alt-text is not only important for everyone using a screenreader and an essential and 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.

ピカールで買った冷凍クロワッサンを焼いておいたので、今夜は卵と牛乳に浸してパングラタンに🥚🥛

クロワッサン生地が軽いから漬け込み時間もかからず中はフレンチトーストのようにとろっと、外はパイのようにサックサク🥧

Really, , I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:

europarl.europa.eu/portal/en

All to non public values driven, disrespecting platforms.

How is it possible that there is no button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, and independent social media platform.

How wil the reach and when its gives such a bad example.

Practice what you preach!

Here's the thing about - it doesn't matter what 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.

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!

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

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

Don't forget to use hashtags to spread the word about events on Mastodon :ablobcatnod:

That way, people can follow the hashtag to keep track, or filter out the hashtag if they're not interested #️⃣👀

Also capitalize each word in a hashtag to help with accessibility.

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.

Here’s #Mastodon’s specification for quote posts. And they provide examples too.

The great news is that this will not break compatibility with platforms that have already implemented this feature. Thank God!

TechCrunch is now covering #Mastodon’s addition of quote posts.

But there’s one thing @Sarahp might want to change: we know when quote posts are coming.

The display of quote posts is coming with Mastodon 4.4. You will be able to see quote posts if they come from other services.

But authoring of quote posts, that is the ability to make them in Mastodon, is coming with Mastodon 4.5.

@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 , 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

woohoo: perfection, if it works.
"In order to mitigate these issues, we plan to include several features in our implementation:

‣ You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.

‣ You will be notified when someone quotes you.

‣ You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time."

When quote-posts become baked into 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.

So you want to fight fascism and make a difference right now? Do this:

Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable and ethical EU-based anti-fascist¹ git hosting alternative that’s under attack by fascists as we speak:

join.codeberg.org

Seriously, do it now.²

Volunteer and/or donate if you can.

Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.

When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

I rarely ask this but please repost this far and wide.

Well, this is new.

Mastodon has a new "Who to follow" feature.

Pretty cool.

One fact about . 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!: walk.w-ith.me/chris

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

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

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!

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].

#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/
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.

@dandylover1@friendica.world

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.)

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

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

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

I 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.)

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 codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube

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 do the same with Pixelfed and Loops, and soon Sup.

@eblu@hachyderm.io

Here's something that I previously discussed at length on my main account but wanted feedback on from the wider : 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, 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 impulsait.com/producto/patroci

He creado esa página con una explicación de cómo funciona la gobernanza y operación de , 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.

Take a look at the great application developed by the folks at CNRS in France to migrate your X accounts to Mastodon or Bluesky. Invite those souls who are still unaware of the dangers of the X disinformation tool.

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.

Big opportunity for Europe right now to unleash a swathe of open-source, privacy respecting platforms that fill the void left by US tech oligarchs hellbent on robbing everyone's data and propping up a tyrant.

No - wait. They did. And I'm using one.

I think on some small level i thought having a lot of followers on X or trolling Threads looking for stuff to like meant genuine interaction.

Turns out, it isn’t and wasn’t and never will be. I have had more actually answers and interaction as I build new communities on BlueSky and Mastodon

Why doesn't Mastodon import/export include filters? I had ~100 keywords filtered out on my old account. This is going to be tedious to copy/paste

I just followed an account from threads.net, but I don't see any posts for that user in the app (Moshidon/Android) but I see lots in the browser. I tried going to a single post in the browser, copying the url, and pasting in into the search in the app. I get...

Could not find anything for these search terms.

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 '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.

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".

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.

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.

I’m not good at finding people on Mastodon. I follow the hashtag but I don’t really see a lot of British people posting there. Surely, with as many hiking routes there are in the UK, there must be more hiking lovers out there. I would love to find more UK hikers here. Let’s connect!!

If you know of a post that you REALLY liked that you've boosted before, did you know you can boost it again? Just click the boost button to "unboost" and then you can "reboost" the same post!

This could be used if you have more followers now than you did back then and you want these new followers to see the older post. Happy Federating!

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.

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.

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?🤨😩

I don't understand this. G__z_a has been the most used hashtag on mastodon today but no post using the word as a tag is showing in the "Explore" feed. It's as if there's no discussion about it in the most popular posts, which is very unlike at how mastodon has been in the past. I'm not crying foul, I just don't understand this new development. Is it a fluke?

- The Fediverse, as judged by what is visible to any Threads† user oblivious to... a lot. Including the concept of everyone on the Fediverse disgusted with the idea of federating with Threads.

† There will not be a comparable thread of posts on the naming of Threads. Anyone who approves of that choice of name, or would play Devil's Advocate in the matter is someone I hope to never encounter in my life.

- A like-minded group who'll (in practice) equate users and moderators of select Fediverse instance software that isn't Mastodon† as deserving of greater suspicion, open prejudice, or blocking.

† If you don't think this happens perhaps first check with Pleroma/Akkoma users and instance admins before dismissing this one.

- 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

The 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:

  1. Bluesky simply has a better UI/UX for Twitter users than Mastodon because it basically is Twitter whereas Mastodon is its own thing
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.

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?

What I would really like to have is a sort of Mastodon manual. Does this exist?

If not, I would appreciate a hand with some of the details so I can get more out of this experience.

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:

  1. Mastodon validated the concept of a Fediverse, which prompted more devs to build for #ActivityPub
  2. As Big Social alienated their userbase, some of this userbase sought Fediverse alternatives. This is what drove popularity of #Lemmy and #Pixelfed.
  3. #Bluesky became the default alternative to #Twitter instead of Mastodon
  4. 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 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, ’s and is so ugly and so badly designed from an ergonomics POV that most people already stay away after first contact.

That’s why.

Oh wait, @rolle made this exact thing and got harassed, threatened, and insulted by the ignorant Fedi mafia who thinks that Fedi is "private" for some dumb reason.

If you want privacy, go to signal.

I want a USABLE social media platform that isn't owned by a corporate asshole.

Fedi is barely usable without discoverability and ignorance is killing it.

Educate yourself. ActivityPub is an OPEN protocol.

Stop harassing people that are building on that openness. You're killing Fedi.🤬

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @bunbloc Oh, sorry, was not clear. I was thinking of a instance solely over using 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. allows for images of course. Would work very well indeed perhaps. Was wondering how much code would need changing to to port it to a server ...

You can post to The Fedi Forum directly from your own Fediverse account (or register directly on the forum). You can also follow categories to keep up-to-date. A fantastic community support service.

Read more here: https://thefedi.wiki/forum

We have over twenty categories, including: #Mastodon #Sharkey #Misskey #GoToSocial #PixelFed #Friendica #Vernissage. Full list at the bottom of the article in the Wiki.

Forums are a perfect way to gain/offer support, and the knowledge is retained and searchable -- rather than a discord style channel where it all disappears in a random assortment of messages.

Ready to move away from Big Tech?

There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO

Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own:

1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously.

2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one.

3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time.

4. Office software : Libre Office.

5. Video conference : Whereby.

6. Desktop OS : Linux.

7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general.

As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try.

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.

What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?

The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.

Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

Many people here on the Fediverse learned that when a bunch of Fedi sites which has drawings or photos of women kissing women, or men kissing men, were taken offline.

I try to recommend providers who are open to generally any content, provided it is legal, of course. I am not going to recommend people looking to escape possible censorship or safety concerns, only to further feel unsafe and possibly censored.

@rolle@mementomori.social

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.

Ce petit bout d'interface est vraiment génial sur Phanpy. :blob_cat_aww: En gros, il apparaît sur tous les pouets où l'auteur ou l'autrice a répondu directement à son propre pouet, ou est la réponse à un de ses propres pouets, créant de facto un thread/fil.

Comme ça, on comprend tout de suite que soit il faut « ouvrir » le pouet pour voir la suite, soit qu'on peut comprendre le contexte avec ce qui a été publié avant.

J'aimerais vraiment voir apparaitre ça sur toutes les interfaces

For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful . Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.

Help spread the word.

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? Grateful for any insight into the downsides of doing something like that (aside from having to learn how to run a server) nub here

A few facts and thoughts about being decentralized or not:

  1. (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".

  2. "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.

  3. 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 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: github.com/bluesky-social/atpr

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: github.com/bluesky-social/indi
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 (the protocol behind ), 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.

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.

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.

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.

@dansup i really dont want to spoil the fun here. I appreciate the effort.

But although is much more popular than their relationship is like to . Both bluesky and signal have a backend. although their frontent is 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.

Sellainen kun on paskaa.

Valitettavasti tällaista on viime aikoina näkynyt issa.

Voitaisiinko puhaltaa tälle stoppi nyt, ennen kuin se on täälläkin valtavirtaa?

On vielä erityisen pehvasta moinen, kun pääasiassa ei ns. oikeasti edes tunne toista, minkä pohjalta voisi oletuksia ym. tehdä.

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 issa.

Voitaisiinko puhaltaa tälle stoppi nyt, ennen kuin se on täälläkin valtavirtaa?

On vielä erityisen pehvasta moinen, kun pääasiassa ei ns. oikeasti edes tunne toista, minkä pohjalta voisi oletuksia ym. tehdä.

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:

status.mastodon.social/cm6i55d

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 server admin team here's a thing I hacked together yesterday: mastomsg 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! 😊

Two things are needed to increase #Mastodon’s userbase:

  1. An improved UI
  2. Better social discovery

The great news is that big efforts are already being made to improve both those things.

But I also think it’s important to look at other options.

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.

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?

If you are part of a server admin team here's a thing I hacked together yesterday: mastomsg 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`

Two things are needed to increase #Mastodon’s userbase:

  1. An improved UI
  2. Better social discovery

The great news is that big efforts are already being made to improve both those things.

But I also think it’s important to look at other options.

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social

One unique selling point of 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 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.

For the "post only to followers, approve all followers" I'd be concerned they'd have very few followers and not get how to find their friends or make new friends (if they are even interested in new friends).

I come from the publishing world and 99% of my posts are public and open so this isn't an angle I am sure about giving advice on.

One question/comment I get from people who think of leaving Facebook for the Fediverse is "How can I just share my posts so my friends can see them? I don't really like to post publicly."

What is the answer to that?

Do you create an account, post only to followers, then approve all followers?

Is Friendica better than Mastodon for this?

One question/comment I get from people who think of leaving Facebook for the Fediverse is "How can I just share my posts so my friends can see them? I don't really like to post publicly."

What is the answer to that?

Do you create an account, post only to followers, then approve all followers?

Is Friendica better than Mastodon for this?

For the "post only to followers, approve all followers" I'd be concerned they'd have very few followers and not get how to find their friends or make new friends (if they are even interested in new friends).

I come from the publishing world and 99% of my posts are public and open so this isn't an angle I am sure about giving advice on.

@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@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.

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

Hágalo en impulsait.com/producto/patroci

He creado esa página con una explicación de cómo funciona la gobernanza y operación de , 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.

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.

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 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. :bunhdheart:

Friendly reminder that the AllThingsTech.social Mastodon instance will be closing down permanently in just a few days.

If you are still a user on this instance you will need to migrate to a new instance ASAP! Once the instance shuts down, there won't be any way to move your account, get account backups or anything similar!

We apologize about any inconveniences this might cause.

If you have any questions, please reach out to @cliffwade or @beardedtechguy

If you think words like , , , or especially 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 , and condemns anyone who has expertise in other fields to ad-based social media.

2. Sill.social - See which news are talked about. Sill streamlines your Bluesky and Mastodon feeds to give you a clear picture of what's happening.

@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 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 [1] / - 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.

is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated 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 , 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 , my howto [3] might help you out.

@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.

Have you ever had the experience of being away from your account (e.g., ) for a few days and having a follower or mutual ask about your absence?

(this might only make sense if you've been on the fediverse for at least a couple of months, but answer if you think it's relevant)

Boost for visibility?

Hello World :)

I am pleased to present you a small project that I have been working on these last weeks:

MARL (Mastodon Archive Reader Lite) is a small web app that allows you to explore in detail the content of your Mastodon posts archive, including attached files (images, videos, sounds), and with different search options.

github.com/s427/MARL

🙏 Boosts welcome! 🙏

somehow i have the feeling that mastodon has a lot of transient objects without id. too many. And many for which there is even an image url that does not appear to be transient.

or is it just my feeling that an icon of the actor should have an id ?

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the 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 [1] / - 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.

With the integrated 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 , 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 , my howto [3] might help you out.

I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like 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...

I also mean to raise the post reach, but that doesn't usually happen because my network is not very big and is quite diverse.

Btw, is there a hashtag for fediverse best practices? In case your in doubt about the etiquette/manners recommended.

Is there a way on 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.

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 - 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 :-)

P.S. I daily check my Mastodon notifications, so, don't worry, I am still active on here, although I post rarely on here now. But feel free to reach out to me :-)

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.

Q: Am I imagining things or didn't there used to be a way to attach spoiler-protected images to posts without putting the entire post behind a CW?

A: (thanks, @txgx42 ): "Apparently the way to do it now is to use the CW button but leave the CW description text box blank, then it will just blur the images."

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.

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.

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.

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 , and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.

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 here or visiting the bigger sites like tilvids, spectra.video etc then following remotely... It takes a while but like 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:)

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.

Here I am, Mastodon! Taking my first steps away from that "other" platform. Who knew getting ready to leave it behind would be this anxiety-inducing?! But it’s time for a fresh start.

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on , and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.

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)"

On preparation to delete my x/twitter account, I was planning to put my whole twit history in a archive account, but that would be unfair for the instance hosting it.

So, I will try to convert the dumped data into created notes just for fun, and hosting it in my site. Kind of a read-only timeline.

Would somebody be interested in watching this live? I can setup a stream to code for fun this part.

for people who have accounts on fedi and bluesky - do you cross-post across your accounts? if so, do you have recommendations for automating (or do you do this manually - and if so, why)?

i maintain my accounts on each as an academic/researcher (and havent decided if i want to maintain one more than the other), so it would be nice for them to be in sync...?

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: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i)

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.

Unfortunately this wave if new people is causing certain hashtags to be filled with irrelevant posts.

Please only use tags that are relevant to the post.

People using the Mastodon or Fediverse tags don't want to see your tits, memes, barbecue, or kids.
