Maybe there are some #Canada based #fediverse devs already working on this, but I so wish there was a publishing platform that was #ActivityPub and #socialweb first, and specifically for public institutions in 🇨🇦

Very similar to how #Ghost works (built-in to core). Followable anywhere on the social web. Bus route updates, water restriction updates, weather alerts...one domain per municipality, difft accts per agency.

This is a national security issue if Musk & Co can cut off our govt comms.

The next #FediForum’s program (June 5–7) looks rad!

First time with keynotes presentations, big ones, by @cubicgarden, @cwebber, and @pluralistic! 😍

Decentralisation as a shifting mental framework

Programming note: every week I send out an email newsletter. It contains all the articles I published that week, as well as an additional essay that has been not been published elsewhere yet. This is a republication of last week’s essay I send out. If you’re interested, subscribe below to get all the updates directly in your inbox every week!

As decentralised social networks grow and evolve over time, so does the meaning of the word decentralisation. People do not understand a meaning of a word in a vacuum, they form an understanding of what a word means based on their think other people think a term means. The term decentralisation is a good example of this: it is clearly an important term to the communities that make up networks like the fediverse. But the meaning of the term decentralisation has shifted over time. Communities take on a shared mental framework to understand a technology. Once a framework has been established, changes to that shared framework are slow, and can happen due to forces of other communities who have a different shared perspective.

The fediverse, and the networks that it grew out of, are decentralised social networks in two different ways: they are decentralised in a technical description of how the network architecture looks. But the fediverse is also decentralised in the sense that this became a core part of the identity of the network. For a variety of reasons, as the fediverse grew and matured, being decentralised became a core way how people on the fediverse understood the network themselves. When Elon Musk took over Twitter, it gave a strong validation of the idea that centralised ownership of social networking is bad, and thus that good social networks should be decentralised.

Over time, the meaning of the term ‘decentralisation’, as understood by people on the fediverse, grew more diffuse. Other characteristics of the network became conflated with the idea of the network being decentralised. Traits of centralised platforms that people deemed bad, such as a single algorithmic timeline controlled by an oligarch, became a template for how an alternative social network should do the opposite: only have a timeline where the content displayed is fully controlled by the user. The boundaries blurred between features resulting from a decentralised networking architecture versus those from human-focused product design. It is totally possible to create a decentralised social networking platform with only algorithmic timelines. But the connection between fediverse platforms largely only having ‘following’ feeds and the network being decentralised was regularly implied.

A network like the fediverse has an architecture that is easy to recognise as being decentralised: there are multiple independent servers that are all talking to each other, without one central entity. But there are other ways to create social networks that are decentralised, using a different architecture. Nostr is a good example of a decentralised social network that operates in a significantly different way, while also being clearly decentralised.

For the fediverse community, the mental model of decentralised networks such as the fediverse itself, but also email, became more dominant. There was less space to consider other ways to design a social network that is also decentralised. The size difference between the fediverse and the much smaller Nostr network made other alternatives easy to brush aside. But the growth of Bluesky and the ATmosphere network changed this dynamic.

The goal of Bluesky and ATProto is to create a decentralised social network, but with different characteristics and goals than the fediverse and ActivityPub have. For people on the fediverse, decentralisation became the main way how they analysed this competing network. As Bluesky is by far the largest app on the ATProto network, by multiple orders of magnitude, Bluesky not actually being decentralised became a common criticism. I made a similar argument in fall 2024, about how Bluesky has not meaningfully distributed power due to how clustered the people are around a single app. However, that is something different than the technological network architecture being (de)centralised. These criticisms became intertwined with each other, especially from the fediverse side.

In recent weeks, people have made some significant progress in using Bluesky (in technical terms: engaging with posts with Bluesky’s lexicon) with infrastructure that is entirely independent from the Bluesky company. This demonstrates the network being decentralised in a meaningful way. But as the term ‘decentralisation’ has become so intertwined with other meanings, both regarding other network architecture as well as the spread of the user base, that conversations around these developments became hopelessly confusing. The achievement of using Bluesky without using infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC became solely analysed through the frame of “is the network decentralised”.

In all this discourse, it has become lost that decentralisation is a description of a network topology, and not an intrinsic Good. People do not actually care about decentralisation itself. Decentralisation is valuable because it enables other properties, such as network resilience, and are more resistant to capture by oligarchs.

Within the ATProto developer community, the discourse that essentialised decentralisation led to a counter reaction, where decentralisation is not seen as a useful term anymore. Instead, other descriptors should be used, to consider specific features that the network enables. While the community seems largely in agreement that decentralisation has lost a lot of its usefulness as a way to analyse the network, there is less consensus on what other factors the network should be judged on.

As an observer of both networks this makes the current situation particularly interesting. One developer community seems to come to an agreement that one mental framework has lost some of its use, while the other developer community has not done so. Furthermore, it is not clear yet what framework should take its place instead. Is it a framework of analysing a network by its possible failure modes, or something else entirely?

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

Today, besides other concerned individuals and organisations, our co-founder @michael co-signed and delivered a letter regarding the current UK technology policy to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

We believe it is critical that the UK does not become dependent on US technologies which echo the corporate interests of Big Tech.

This is one of the problems with centralized social-media — that your entire online existence and self can be deleted, and often, there is nothing you can do about it

That you can be unpersoned.

On the Fediverse (and other decentralized social-media (DeSo)) — you can protect yourself from this. You can self-host, and own and control your online identity & online self.

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

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

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

This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.

(Longer than Threads has existed.)

Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.

Is Short Content Sometimes "Better"?

Short posts on Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, etc.

Short videos on TikTok, YouTube (Shorts), Vidzy, Loops, etc.

Could short content create a better user-experience (UX)?

• 이메일: sponsor@fedify.dev
• 연합우주: @fedify
• GitHub: https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify

귀사의 요구사항과 목표에 맞는 맞춤형 협력 방안을 함께 모색하겠습니다.

For those interested in supporting #Fedify's development, we do have an Open Collective page where community #sponsorship is welcome.

Even small contributions help sustain development and show there's interest in open source #ActivityPub tools. Thanks to our existing sponsors who've already been helping move the project forward!

The goal remains the same: make building federated applications more accessible to developers so the #fediverse can continue to grow and thrive.

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

Thank you to folks that answered my #GTS poll. Seems like a LOT of folks don't know what GTS is! GTS or #GoToSocial is a #GO written #activityPub #server for small groups of folks that's super lightweight, fast and easy to install. You can find them on #Fediverse at @gotosocial .

Finalement le plus triste c'est que toutes les grosses instances officiel des projets du fédiverse sont hébergées, utilisent, voir les deux en même temps : Cloudflare/Amazon/Google/Fastly ... tu parle d'un truc pour échapper au GAFAM ​​

Et heureusement qu'il fallait quitter les GAFAM après le truc de Trump sur la règle de diversité et tout ...

Bref le fediverse c'est juste un échec globalement total, ici un exemple avec pixelfed.social.
Mais c'est pareil avec mastodon.social par exemple.

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

Thank you to folks that answered my #GTS poll. Seems like a LOT of folks don't know what GTS is! GTS or #GoToSocial is a #GO written #activityPub #server for small groups of folks that's super lightweight, fast and easy to install. You can find them on #Fediverse at @gotosocial .

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (6/6)

After the setup I configured the settings, browsed the web. #ZenBrowser was working like it used to and the FS didn't go haywire.

Finally, it fixed it.

I think this meme (see the image) suits me. In #windows, you've the troubleshooter but on #linux, you're the troubleshooter.

#fedora #Fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (5/6)

This time I took the former approach. I opened #GnomeSoftwareCenter and deleted #ZenBrowser without app data. And it worked (for real this time). Still I had zen app data lying in my system. So I manually deleted every one of them one by one. Afterwards I rebooted my system one last time and again installed Zen.

#linux #fedora #Fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (4/6)

I again rebooted the system and this time deleted every folder within `.../storage/default/` folder. Then tried to uninstall #ZenBrowser along with app data. And this time it worked, I uninstalled the browser (so it seems). However afterwards the FS went read-only. I rebooted. And there was ZEN, casually waiting for me in the taskbar.

#linux #fedora #Fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (3/6)

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

#linux #fedora #Fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser @jrredho (2/6)

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

#linux #fedora #Fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser
@jrredho (1/6)

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

Here's my pitch for a federated bookmark manager and why it can make the indie web stronger.

What is the #fediverse alternative to #Pinterest?

漢字圏の人が見たら「⁂」って「森」をなんとなく想起する気がする。
#Fediverse は森なのかもしれないな… 🌳🌲🌴🪾🌵🏝️
ということは、我々はその木々に留まる鳥のような存在なのか 🐦
…あれ、たしかに、自分もむかし「鳥」として「つぶやいてた」記憶があるぞ…

When you press that button (in the screenshot), and publish a post on the Fediverse —

For most users on the Fediverse —

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

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

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

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

I have been trying to design a logo for FediCon.

I tried using the FediOrigami version of the Fediverse logo, to be part of it.

How hard would it be for a fediverse app to give me a daily or weekly notification about each of my saved drafts? So I can start a reply, decide it needs more thought, save it, and get reminded of it.

Bonus points for being able to schedule a reminder notification for each saved post. A day for this one, a week for this one, and so on.

This relay could even use the ActivityPub actor type "Feed".

3/

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

2/

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

FEDIVERSE LOGO — Ⅎ

Andy Piper ( @andypiper ) says:

“Of course, we can’t just use an F [as a logo for the Fediverse], because Friendica took that one”

Well, we could (instead) use a variation of the "F" symbol.

We could (instead) use the TURNED CAPITAL F (U+2132) for a Fediverse logo.

Ⅎ

It is considered an 'obsolete' symbol, and thus largely unused (despite being in Unicode).

We could make it a (new) logo for the Fediverse.

Good day folks. I need your thoughts. I've started a NonProfit called BT Free, btfree.org, and I'm hoping to get thoughts on a question I had.

Do folks think it's ok if I link to the donations page for BT Free during Fireside Fedi and mention it during a show as well? I want to focus on the guest, but I'm going to have to start asking about donations somewhere, but I don't want to ask if folks think it's not ok.

Please boost this out so I can get as many thoughts as possible on this. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thank you all for being here and doing all you do!

Ok, #fediverse , let’s have a little game… Who‘s faster? 1.500 friends from #denmark or 1.500 friends from #croatia to reach the minimum counts? I bet they both will reach. Ready. go! (Pls share.) #europe #europa

Do you want to help testing @badgefed and provision your local test instance?

Easy

docker pull ghcr.io/tryvocalcat/badgefed:latest &&

-p 8080:8080 \

And then open a browser and go to http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:8080/admin

It can't be a fluke right if it happened twice.

#ZenBrowser #linux #fedora #fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse #btrfs

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser (4/5)

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

#ZenBrowser #linux #fedora #fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse #btrfs

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser (3/5)

To check the memory I used `sudo memtester 1024 5`. And EVERYTHING was fine. Even when I turned on the #wifi nothing changed. I opened the #gnomesoftware app, I also opened #firefox to browse #youtube and log in to this instance. Everything was fine.

#ZenBrowser #linux #fedora #fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #btrfs #fediverse

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed @llutz @zenbrowser (2/5)

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

#ZenBrowser #linux #fedora #fedora42 #gnome #mastodon #fediverse #btrfs

@tokyo_0 @abhijith @fossunleashed
@llutz (1/5)

I now think that I can pinpoint the problem of the filesystem going read-only and it's (probably) neither the FS itself nor the nvme drive. And definitely not the RAM.

The problem is a single app that's causing this or that's what I found and its the @zenbrowser browser.

When updating a video, under Advanded settings > Video thumbnail PeerTube @peertube now lets you select a specific frame as the thumbnail directly from the video player.

A really handy interface not even YouTube has. The feature was likely released at least a few months ago but I only just noticed.

To improve metadata — and just for fun — I revised the thumbnails of all my videos.

#PeerTube #fediverse #tips

So my suspicion is that #Phanpy was somehow corrupted.

I'm not sure, however, if that's a symptom of a deeper issue, or the root cause itself.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what were the steps to fixing it?

I like this new feature on the Mastodon web-based front-end application — where, when you look at the someone else's profile, Mastodon shows you (some of the people) who follows this account that you also follow.

Although, I wish there was way that I could see the complete list of people — rather than just 2 or 3 people.

You don't trust anyone else—not billionaire-run social networks, not instances managed by strangers with moderation policies that might separate you from your friends and favorite accounts.

So you've decided it's time to create your own instance, whether for yourself, your family, or a small community.

But you're unsure how to do it! You're not tech-savvy, and you're worried it won't work, that you'll fail, or that you won't be able to secure your new instance properly.

Fortunately, some companies now offer to set up an instance for you and handle all the technical aspects: installation, system updates, security, and more. All you need to do is manage it and enjoy it.

At least, that's the promise. 🙂

The website https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_instance lists some companies currently offering this service. It also provides a guide to help you choose the best host for your needs and outlines the questions you should consider.

From there, it's up to you to research the prices and terms of the companies you're interested in.

Has anyone here used the services from any of these companies? Is it really easy for non-technical people to install and manage an instance?

#opensource #fediverse #hosting #SelfHosting

Is there a "firehose" of #fediverse posts? would you just look at all the servers' live feeds? I'm considering attempting to train an algorithm to classify
* personal status (ate a sandwich)
* hashtag participation
* branding and promotion
* conversational
* memetics (cats/rats/moss)
* identity assertion
* etc
This is awkward because I feel a bit embarrassed that I don't already know how to do this.

Fortunately, some companies now offer to set up an instance for you and handle all the technical aspects: installation, system updates, security, and more. All you need to do is manage it and enjoy it.

At least, that's the promise. 🙂

The website https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_instance lists some companies currently offering this service. It also provides a guide to help you choose the best host for your needs and outlines the questions you should consider.

From there, it's up to you to research the prices and terms of the companies you're interested in.

Has anyone here used the services from any of these companies? Is it really easy for non-technical people to install and manage an instance?

We Distribute: Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech. “Mastodon’s work to highlight their platform to journalists led to the opportunity to host an aperitivo, with special guests Save Social, at the International Journalism Festival (April 9th – 13th, 2025) in Perugia, Italy. IJF brings together people from across the news industry to talk about the issues they face and […]

Articles like this make me wonder if/when the #fediverse will ever tackle the dating service space. Given the (relatively) small userbase of the fediverse as a whole, I'm not sure how well it'd go right now. But I do think that there's a wide open space here in the same way that there was previously for healthy Twitter and Instagram alternatives.

This would be a much more complex space, though. Data exchanged in an environment like this would be extremely sensitive, and massive precautions would need to be taken (and vetted) in order to prevent abuse, by admins or otherwise. Still, it seems like a huge shame to give up on the concept of online dating just because surveillance capitalism has ruined it in its current form.

HEY! I just found the fix for the webfinger "403 forbidden” problem I have been having to get my wordpress blog working fully with ActivityPub @pfefferle!

Looks like for nginx based servers if you are rolling your own or you have a strict web host you need to create a location statement in your nginx config options

The code to add to your options is:

location ^~ /.well-known/webfinger {
auth_basic off;
allow all;
default_type text/plain;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
break;
}

From this wordpress support question:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-think-i-tried-everything-403-on-well-known/

After adding this, the test at https://webfinger.net/lookup outputs a proper response and Wordpress clears the 'webfinger' error in SiteHealth.

Yay!

So over to the command line. First, a sudo apt update.

Debian fetches the updates as it should. It says:

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
1 package can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see it."

Apt list --upgradable mentions: monarx-agent/bookworm 4.2.72-master amd64 [upgradable from: 4.2.62-master]

Okay, so with that done, let's try the three commands YunoHost recommended:

sudo apt install --fix-broken produces the following output:

Okay.

So.

Any idea what's going on here?

What should I try next to fix this?

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today I'm feeling excitement over the fediverse intro video we're making... and fear about the feedback it will generate. SO. MUCH. PRESSURE!

The #Fediverse has become my happy online place. With this video project I'm putting myself out there so much (with my face, my voice) advocating for it. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone daily... but I know it's for a great cause.

Please be kind once the video is out... it'll be the result of tens of hours of work 🥲

Sometimes stuff like this reminds me that blog can be also part of the Fediverse

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

We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.

Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.

(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

#Fedi, I need your help.

I'm raising £8,125 to introduce #Leicester to ethical, decentralised platforms like #Mastodon.

I want to:

🚀 Launch a Mastodon instance for local people

👨‍🏫 Run workshops in schools teaching safe social networking

📢 Champion the #fediverse in the indie #media sector

Don’t let #BigTech and #billionaires kill #LocalNews. Can you help us reach our target of 25 new lifetime members by mid-June?

You can join no matter where you live.

To be fair, this type of thing can happen on the Fediverse, too — if you are on someone else's server.

But, the advantage that decentralized social-media has, over centralized social-media, is —

This isn't the end.

You can either go to another server instance.

Or, you can create your own server instance (i.e., self-host), and then no one can suspend your account.

I am humbled and thrilled to be a member of the @fediforum Advisory Board!

It was formed to address the hard questions, and to make #FediForum the most welcoming and ispiring gathering to push our beloved #Fediverse to a brighter future.

Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎

Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.

It’s so cool to collaborate with this group of incredibly skilled people!

Long live the Fediverse ⁂ ❤️

https://mastodon.social/@fediforum/114462384030476115

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

Check out https://fediforum.org/people

— FediForum (@fediforum) 2025-05-06T18:49:33.513Z

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

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

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

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

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

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways

#Fediverse platforms as well as #Bluesky offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.

But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

https://fediversereport.com/taking-control-of-your-timeline-in-different-ways/

Taking Control of Your Timeline – in Different Ways

One of the main ways that decentralised social networking platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon use to advertise themselves is that they gives people control over their timelines. Bluesky’s website highlights this as its primary feature, saying “Your timeline, your choice – Stay focused on your friend group, keep up-to-date on the latest news, or explore with an algorithm that learns what you like. On Bluesky, there’s a feed for that.” Mastodon takes a similar approach, and puts it front and center on the joinmastodon.org website, saying “Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see.” Both platforms share a common critique, namely that Big Tech’s control over algorithmic feeds results in systemic problems, and both see a solution in giving people control over their feeds.

But examining the different approaches taken by platforms in the fediverse and ATmosphere¹ shows that both networks take quite different approaches. Moreover, these approaches seem compatible with each other, and it’s been surprising to me that no platform has really tried to unify these yet.

How Bluesky gives you choice

Bluesky is focused on giving people choice. Instead of one ‘For You’ feed with an opaque algorithm that Big Tech platforms have, Bluesky offers the users to subscribe to any number of feeds. New users start with a simple following feed, as well as an algorithmic feed, the Discover feed. AT Protocol (ATProto) allows people to create any type of feed, that others can subscribe to. Other tools and businesses have popped up to take advantage of this, such as Graze and Skyfeed. These tools give people the option to build their own custom feeds.

ATProto can be understood as one massive pool of data, that is publicly accessible to everyone. Users control their data, but it’s visible to any app. Every application build on top of ATProto takes a portion of that data, restructures it and presents it to the user via a client. A custom feed is effectively a application that is build on ATProto. It takes a small portion of the data of the entire network, and presents it to the user. For example, the News Feed is a custom feed made by an independent developer, which shows articles posted made by news organisations. It functions by taking only the Bluesky posts made by news organisations from the giant data pool that is the ATmosphere network, and orders the post in chronological order, and presents that to the user. Another example is the Moss Feed, which looks for all the Bluesky posts that contain pictures of moss in the entire network, and show those moss pictures to people who subscribe to the feed..

This gives us an answer as to what Bluesky means when the company says “your timeline, your choice”. The choice is that people can choose which part the entire network they want to see. They can choose to see the posts from the accounts they follow, they can choose to see posts from news organisations. The choice is in the data, and people express that choice by using a custom feed.

Fediverse platforms and choice

Fediverse platforms take a different approach to user choice over their timeline. Mastodon² gives a user three feeds, the home timeline, which is the feed of what you follow, and by far the most important feed in Mastodon. (Mastodon also a few other feeds, which are significantly deprioritised.³) Where Bluesky wants to give people control by letting them pick any subset of the entire data of the network to see, Mastodon wants users to only see the content you opted in by following. This is the user choice that Mastodon advertises with on their site, where they say that “your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most”, meaning posts from accounts you follow.

Mastodon has a fairly strict idea of what content should be shown in your Home timeline: only content you follow. This is often the accounts you follow, but can also be hashtags. Nor does it have to be microblogging posts: Mastodon will happily show you content from other types of software, from WordPress articles to PeerTube videos to podcast episodes to RSS. As long as you can follow it via ActivityPub, it shows up in your Home timeline. It does not even have to abide by Mastodon’s own restrictions: a Mastodon post is limited to 500 characters by default, but other servers can set different limits. A Mastodon server with a 500 character limit will still show posts with a much higher character limit. The only restriction is that it has to be content you followed, or got boosted by an account you follow.

Mastodon also has a stronger focus on control over the content in your Home timeline. As the Home timeline is so important, there are many ways for users to take granular control over what they see. You can mute accounts you follow for a time period (helpful if someone is live blogging an event you are not interested in), turn off boosts from specific accounts if they have a tendency to boost too many posts, and a variety of other features.

Other fediverse software takes this a step further: Phanpy is a client for Mastodon, with a unique Catch-Up feature. This takes all the posts from your Home timeline from the last few hours, and gives you the option to display them in any way you want. You can group the posts by Author, sort them chronologically or reverse-chronologically, only display boosted posts sorted by boosts, and much more. Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform which shares quite some of the design features with Mastodon. It also has a strong focus on a Home timeline with content you follow, but with even more features to give users control over how the content on that Home timeline is displayed. The screenshot below displays the wide variety of options that people have to change how their Home timeline is displayed.

The wide variety of options that Bonfire gives represent the ideal vision of fediverse platforms on what user choice for your timeline looks like: the content you follow, with all the tools you need to organise that content.
