The Fediverse is not perfect. But it's humane. Human. Its decentralized nature puts it light years ahead of any centralized or corporate-controlled social media platform (Bluesky is NOT truly decentralized yet).

The Fediverse is proof that we are still able - and eager - to interact on the internet free of corporate and government interference and manipulation. That we desire independence and freedom online as much as we do in real life. That human interaction and socialization is infinitely better when it is not monetized.

We need to protect this. Share this. It's special. It's a haven. And it is an essential tool to help us reverse the damage done to this world by tech bros, billionaires, and politicians who have sold their souls - and tried to sell ours - in exchange for money and power.

forget the unanswerable question on "is bluesky decentralized right now," I'd like to put forward a hot take:

we need more people capable of running independent ATProto stacks (now that more work has made that
more viable) and Fediverse admins should play with it

because Bluesky PBC is going to drive that shit into the ground

Channel.org is more than just technology.

Last week, we opened Channel.org beta to a very small number of initial testers. But, as part of the Newsmast Foundation's mission, Channel.org was designed with education and community in mind - not technology.

Channel.org will help for-good organisations understand and build a home on the open social web, away from Big Tech control.

Hi Tim

I really want to demo but away from 1st -6th June.

TrueFans build native ActivityStreams using 30+ verbs to track user behaviour. Play, Follow, Share, Watch, Comment etc.

We show this in the user Activity Tab e.g Sam listened to Podnews Weekly for 60 mins., percent completed 80% and value paid §100 sats

We also allow the user to publish some or all of their activity via ActivityPub. So I might want to just share my play activity to the social web. #fediverse

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

they should also follow @cwebber - author of ActivityPub protocol (which MASTODON and other fedi softwares are built on)

This is how I am thinking about pointing to the GreatApe WebSocket API in the activity file.

The GreatApe WebSocket API — ActivitySocket ? — is sending ActivityPub activities over a WebSocket, along with some other stuff (such a queries, and commands).

Right now, I am using the "endpoints" field with the sub-field "inoutbox" to point to the WebSockets API end-point.

Channel.org is more than just technology.

Last week, we opened Channel.org beta to a very small number of initial testers. But, as part of the Newsmast Foundation's mission, Channel.org was designed with education and community in mind - not technology.

Channel.org will help for-good organisations understand and build a home on the open social web, away from Big Tech control.

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

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —

Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)

The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114551725757671167

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.

This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.

Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

3/

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.

Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.

Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.

Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.

I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.

Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.

(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

#Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:

Decentralization, Federation, Localization

Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.

But, many don't!

#Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.

Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.

I'd like to take 2 seconds this morning and thank all the #commons janitors who do the ungrateful and unseen work of trying to increase #fedi's #cohesion and #culture.

#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.

Janitors *weave* #SocialFabric.. ✊

#Fediverse currently: "Are you a brave dev? Yes, then go for it and hack & slash something together that with luck becomes modestly successful. And enjoy your thing, you lucky bastard" 😅

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

inviting some friends in here! it’s running on a pretty small server tho - my host says a maximum 10 users, but since ppl here aren’t rlly following anyone other than each other it should be good?

Not really expecting anyone to stay tho 😅 (ik it’s not that addictive)

Everyone should try use the local feed to see each others’ posts!


appreciate ppl from other servers boosting this post to make more instances cache this!

One thing that is interesting about the GreatApe WebSocket API is that —

Because the WebSocket can be both read from and written to — the WebSocket is in a sense both an ActivityPub outbox and an ActivityPub inbox at the same time.

GreatApe is a conferencing platform for the Fediverse and the Social Web — where an audience can listen & watch live, and can be invited to join the speakers on the stage.

GreatApe makes use of a WebSocket for communications.

I am working on turning the WebSocket API that @muhammadzaidali and @benyamin0 created into something more ActivityPub / ActivityStreams like.

GreatApe update №5:

We are looking at adding OpenWebAuth support for logging into GreatApe.

So that people can log into GreatApe using any Fediverse software that supports OpenWebAuth — such as Hubzilla.

. @scott suggested we do this (and him and I are currently discussing it).

GreatApe update №4:

I am working on making the WebSocket API (that @muhammadzaidali and @benyamin0 already created) look more ActivityPub / ActivityStreams like.

For example, sending ActivityPub / ActivityStreams events over the WebSocket.

Although, the WebSocket protocol needs to support a QUERY & QUERY-RESPONSE pattern, too. But, so far, the QUERY-RESPONSE has been a AP / AS `Announce` of some type of AP / AS 'Object'.

#ActivitySocket #DeSo #GreatApe #Fediverse #FeSo #LoSo #SocialWeb

GreatApe update №3:

. @benyamin0 is working on fixing a UX bug — where everyone who was on the 'stage' gets kicked off of the stage if the host temporarily gets disconnected.

He is going to make it so — even if the host gets disconnected for 60 seconds, the GreatApe conference will continue.

#DeSo #GreatApe #Fediverse #FeSo #LoSo #SocialWeb

GreatApe update №2:

. @muhammadzaidali is doing a major refactor of the GreatApe front-end.

It is something we need to do to make future development of GreatApe better and faster.

(Once he is done, we will have to do a lot of testing to do to make sure everything went OK.)

GreatApe update №1:

We have stopped calling what GreatApe does "live public conversations", as some people found that confusing.

We are now calling it a "Conference".

GreatApe has a concept of a 'stage' and an 'audience'. The people on the 'stage' can be seen and heard. The people in the 'audience' cannot (unless they come on the 'stage').

I updated most of the language in the GreatApe front-end to reflect that, but more to-do.

いままで、#Twitter のアカウントはだいぶ前に削除してはいても、まだそこにいる人たちに対して、どこかで「自分は #Mastodon #Fediverse で、どんなに素敵なアカウントをフォローして、いかに自分のタイムラインを取り戻したか」みたいなことを（たとえ伝わらないとしても）発信したい気持ちがあった気がしていて、それがいまの #X にアカウントを改めて作る唯一のモチベーションかもしれないという予感はあったんだけど、なんかここ数日 #nitter 経由で幾つかのワードを検索してそこに流れているポストを眺めてたらどうでもよくなってきちゃったな

自分には自分の場所があって、#VivaldiSocial から見える #Fediverse もその場所の1つで、それが #Vivaldi とか色んな人と標準化された技術 の力でいまも存在してくれているというだけで十分だなあという気持ちになってきた。

The Fediverse is not perfect. But it's humane. Human. Its decentralized nature puts it light years ahead of any centralized or corporate-controlled social media platform (Bluesky is NOT truly decentralized yet).

The Fediverse is proof that we are still able - and eager - to interact on the internet free of corporate and government interference and manipulation. That we desire independence and freedom online as much as we do in real life. That human interaction and socialization is infinitely better when it is not monetized.

We need to protect this. Share this. It's special. It's a haven. And it is an essential tool to help us reverse the damage done to this world by tech bros, billionaires, and politicians who have sold their souls - and tried to sell ours - in exchange for money and power.

Ja, ja und ja.

Gleichzeitig muss ich als ehemaliger Forenbetreiber dazu sagen, dass das Fediverse überschätzt wird.

Spezialistensysteme, dazu gehören Kleingärtner, Hundehalter, Katzenhalter, Gamer, Entwickler brauchen geschlossene Systeme. Da ist man in einem strukturierten und moderierten Forum besser aufgehoben.
Das deckt ein Trötsystem konzeptionell nicht ab.

Nach 10 Jahren Fediverse registiere ich mich jedes mal voller Wonne, heute auf Discourse-Plattformen, mit je einem separaten Account, um meinen Kram zu machen.

Es sind auch zwei gegenläufige Strategien unterschiedlicher Zielgruppen vertreten. Die einem wollen Single Sign In (SSO) für die ganze Welt, die anderen wollen anonyme Fraktale, mit Notschalter.

Dass es ein Fediverse gibt und "bevölkert" wird ist ersteinmal ein Pfad in Unabhängigkeit.

Wer länger dabei ist oder schnell lernt wird feststellen, dass auch wie du schon festgestellt hast, die große Familie Fediverse, eine Fraktalstruktur aus Filtern und Blocken ist.

Vielleicht ist das die Erleuchtung.
Digitale Gruppen sind Chancen für Menschen teilzuhaben, die es sonst nicht können.
Gleichzeitig sind alle Analogen immer ausgeschlossen. Sieht man immer bei Hybrid-Konferenzen, wie inklusiv/exklusiv sie sind.

I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the #Fediverse platform I hope to someday build. It is the culmination of years of study as the network has continued to evolve.

Fediverse Report – #118

The Surf app goes even deeper on building custom feeds for the fediverse and Bluesky, , a crowdfunding campaign for the PeerTube mobile app, and updates to the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!

The News

Surf is a new app by Flipboard, that describes itself as a browser for the open social web. The app allows people to build and browse custom feeds, that take in content from across the open social web. It can combine Mastodon posts with Bluesky posts, as well as RSS and more, into a single feed. With their most recent update, Surf has created Starter Sets for building custom feeds. Starter Sets are organised around various popular themes, like News, Tech or Sports. Within these themes, people can choose from a large variety of data sources to get started with building their own custom feeds. These custom feed sources can be from across the open social web and are modular. This means that a list of Mastodon accounts can be combined with a Bluesky custom feed to create a new single custom feed that consists of both data source. These custom feeds can also be published to Bluesky, so people who are not using the Surf app can also view these feeds.

Surf also now offers a variety of tools to manage the content of a custom feed. For example, a feed can be customised to include or exclude reposts, replies or adult content. There are also options to filter out posts about politics from the feed. The ability to filter about posts about Elon Musk is surely a popular feature as well. Surf categorises all posts via algorithmic clustering, which gives the ability to limit posts in a feed to a certain topic. This means that you can add an account to a feed, but only their posts related to the specified topic will be displayed. The app is currently in closed beta, and Flipboard is gradually onboarding more people from the waiting list.

PeerTube is starting a crowdfunding campaign for its mobile app. The first version of the PeerTube app was officially launched earlier this month. PeerTube is developed by Framasoft, a French non-profit organisation that builds a variety of open source software tools. The crowdfunding campaign is a way to raise money for the organisation, and also provides a way “to gauge public enthusiasm for the mobile application and the PeerTube project in general”. Some of the features that PeerTube wants to work on for its app are the ability to play videos in background, casting videos to TVs, managing channels and accounts directly from the app. Livestreaming from mobile is also being worked on, although Framasoft says they do not expect to release this in 2025. Framasoft says that these features will be worked on regardless of whether the fundraising goals are met, and that otherwise money from the generic Framasoft budget will be used, as a way to show their dedication towards PeerTube.

Mastodon has announced some upcoming new features that help server admins with the legal side. Server admins will be able to set a Terms of Service (ToS), besides server rules and a privacy policy. Server admins will also be able to set the server rules into multiple different languages. There will also be the option to set a minimum age requirement for sign-up for servers. Having a ToS is standard fare for any online platform, and multiple countries require by law that platforms have these. Europe’s DSA is fairly explicit about this, which states: “Providers of intermediary services shall include information on any restrictions that they impose in relation to the use of their service in respect of information provided by the recipients of the service, in their terms and conditions.” In that context, it is high time that Mastodon has added the ability for servers to set a ToS. Mastodon also says that they will provide a template for a ToS that other servers can use if they so desire.

A New Social, the organisation behind Bridgy Fed, has launched a dedicated page for people to manage their account bridging. Bridgy Fed is a piece of software that allows people to ‘bridge’ their account across multiple protocols. This allows people on the fediverse to interact with people on Bluesky (using AT Protocol). For this, people need to manually opt-in their accounts to be bridged to other networks (largely due to cultural reasons from the fediverse communities). Up until now, doing so was a fairly confusing process that involved manually following other accounts. With the new update, people can log in to Bridgy Fed with the account they want to bridge, and simply turn it on or off. It also has an easier option to update the handles for Mastodon accounts that are bridged to Bluesky. For example, by default my Mastodon account on Bluesky can be found at @laurenshof.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gy, which is a fairly cumbersome handle, to put it mildly. At the settings page I can now change it to any handle I want, similar to how any Bluesky account can change their handle. A New Social is also launching a Patreon as they are working towards financial sustainability, with plans to launch merch soon as well.

Ibis is a federated wiki platform that is currently in development, made by nutomic, one of the Lemmy creators. With the most recent update, Ibis wiki articles are now compatible with Lemmy, and can be viewed directly from Lemmy. One of the driving reasons for making Ibis is that nutomic views Wikipedia as untrustworthy. He also says that other centralised Wikipedia alternatives have failed to gain traction, and sees federation as a solution for this. For now, Ibis has the same problem of getting traction.

Tvmarks is a new self-hosted platform to keep track of shows you’ve watched. It gives you a clean overview of shows you are watching, which ones you’ve completed, and provide reviews and ratings per episode. This information can be federated via ActivityPub, allowing others to see what you’ve been watching.

I love how Fedia.io loves to turn Fedi posts into Lemmy discussions based on hashtags, but doesn't event let you browse the site without logging in.🙄

The true FOSS version of Reddit is taking form.

All other Lemmy/Mbin instances, where's your login gate?!? Come on now, keep up!🤦‍♂️

#Lemmy #Fedia #Mbin #Fedi #Fediverse

- 20 years ago #blogging was my main source for project work.

- 10 years ago, it was #Twitter.

- 3 years ago, I thought #LinkedIn would pick up the baton. Alas, it didn't.

- Will now #Mastodon (& the #Fediverse) take the place of my blog or Twitter for, say, the next decade?

That's the new challenge ahead, I guess. Confirming, if anything, the need to finally decouple from LI for yours truly, while attempting to build something new, and move on.

Greener pastures ahead? We shall see ...

Episode 20 is now posted to Peertube and Castopod! Please let me know if there are any issues. As always the Peertube version is still transcoding so give it some time if it doesn't work right away. :-)

And thank you so so so much to @booteille for talking the time to talk with me. Also thank you so much to everyone at @Framasoft for all you do. You're all absolutely amazing and you're helping bring choice and a more free internet to the world.

One of the driving reasons for making Ibis is that nutomic views Wikipedia as untrustworthy. He also says that other centralised Wikipedia alternatives have failed to gain traction, and sees federation as a solution for this. For now, Ibis has the same problem of getting traction.

Tvmarks is a new self-hosted platform to keep track of shows you’ve watched. It gives you a clean overview of shows you are watching, which ones you’ve completed, and provide reviews and ratings per episode. This information can be federated via ActivityPub, allowing others to see what you’ve been watching.

Fediverse Report – #118

The Surf app goes even deeper on building custom feeds for the fediverse and Bluesky, , a crowdfunding campaign for the PeerTube mobile app, and updates to the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!

The News

Surf is a new app by Flipboard, that describes itself as a browser for the open social web. The app allows people to build and browse custom feeds, that take in content from across the open social web. It can combine Mastodon posts with Bluesky posts, as well as RSS and more, into a single feed. With their most recent update, Surf has created Starter Sets for building custom feeds. Starter Sets are organised around various popular themes, like News, Tech or Sports. Within these themes, people can choose from a large variety of data sources to get started with building their own custom feeds. These custom feed sources can be from across the open social web and are modular. This means that a list of Mastodon accounts can be combined with a Bluesky custom feed to create a new single custom feed that consists of both data source. These custom feeds can also be published to Bluesky, so people who are not using the Surf app can also view these feeds.

Surf also now offers a variety of tools to manage the content of a custom feed. For example, a feed can be customised to include or exclude reposts, replies or adult content. There are also options to filter out posts about politics from the feed. The ability to filter about posts about Elon Musk is surely a popular feature as well. Surf categorises all posts via algorithmic clustering, which gives the ability to limit posts in a feed to a certain topic. This means that you can add an account to a feed, but only their posts related to the specified topic will be displayed. The app is currently in closed beta, and Flipboard is gradually onboarding more people from the waiting list.

PeerTube is starting a crowdfunding campaign for its mobile app. The first version of the PeerTube app was officially launched earlier this month. PeerTube is developed by Framasoft, a French non-profit organisation that builds a variety of open source software tools. The crowdfunding campaign is a way to raise money for the organisation, and also provides a way “to gauge public enthusiasm for the mobile application and the PeerTube project in general”. Some of the features that PeerTube wants to work on for its app are the ability to play videos in background, casting videos to TVs, managing channels and accounts directly from the app. Livestreaming from mobile is also being worked on, although Framasoft says they do not expect to release this in 2025. Framasoft says that these features will be worked on regardless of whether the fundraising goals are met, and that otherwise money from the generic Framasoft budget will be used, as a way to show their dedication towards PeerTube.

Mastodon has announced some upcoming new features that help server admins with the legal side. Server admins will be able to set a Terms of Service (ToS), besides server rules and a privacy policy. Server admins will also be able to set the server rules into multiple different languages. There will also be the option to set a minimum age requirement for sign-up for servers. Having a ToS is standard fare for any online platform, and multiple countries require by law that platforms have these. Europe’s DSA is fairly explicit about this, which states: “Providers of intermediary services shall include information on any restrictions that they impose in relation to the use of their service in respect of information provided by the recipients of the service, in their terms and conditions.” In that context, it is high time that Mastodon has added the ability for servers to set a ToS. Mastodon also says that they will provide a template for a ToS that other servers can use if they so desire.

A New Social, the organisation behind Bridgy Fed, has launched a dedicated page for people to manage their account bridging. Bridgy Fed is a piece of software that allows people to ‘bridge’ their account across multiple protocols. This allows people on the fediverse to interact with people on Bluesky (using AT Protocol). For this, people need to manually opt-in their accounts to be bridged to other networks (largely due to cultural reasons from the fediverse communities). Up until now, doing so was a fairly confusing process that involved manually following other accounts. With the new update, people can log in to Bridgy Fed with the account they want to bridge, and simply turn it on or off. It also has an easier option to update the handles for Mastodon accounts that are bridged to Bluesky. For example, by default my Mastodon account on Bluesky can be found at @laurenshof.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gy, which is a fairly cumbersome handle, to put it mildly. At the settings page I can now change it to any handle I want, similar to how any Bluesky account can change their handle. A New Social is also launching a Patreon as they are working towards financial sustainability, with plans to launch merch soon as well.

Ibis is a federated wiki platform that is currently in development, made by nutomic, one of the Lemmy creators. With the most recent update, Ibis wiki articles are now compatible with Lemmy, and can be viewed directly from Lemmy. One of the driving reasons for making Ibis is that nutomic views Wikipedia as untrustworthy. He also says that other centralised Wikipedia alternatives have failed to gain traction, and sees federation as a solution for this. For now, Ibis has the same problem of getting traction.

Indem wir öffentlich-rechtlichen Entscheider.innen auf der re:publica suggerieren, dass sie lediglich einen Fediverse-Kanal bespielen müssen um alle anderen Social-Media-Kanäle weiternutzen zu können wie bisher, steigen wir einen modernen Ablasshandel ein, der Niemanden glücklich machen wird.

Wie bei der Einführung des Tierwohl-Labels wird hier die Möglichkeit versprochen das eigene Gewissen reinzuwaschen ohne seine Gewohnheiten grundlegend zu ändern.
Aber genauso wie so ein Label Nichts an der Massentierhaltung ändert, ändert so eine Forderung nichts an den toxischen Strukturen von algorithmusgesteuerten, kommerziellen Social Media Netzwerken.

Die Aufgabe von Digitalrechtsaktivismus ist nicht, den Minimalkonsens herzustellen.
Digitalrechtsaktivismus dient nicht dazu dass Leute sich gut fühlen, wenn sie dafür angelogen werden müssen.

Es mag Gründe für das Festhalten an Instagram und Co. geben, zum Beispiel um Reichweite für wichtige Themen herzustellen.
Wir dürfen dabei aber nicht vergessen, dass jede Nutzung dieser toxischen Müllhalden ihre Existenz weiter sichert.
Es gibt schlichtweg keine Möglichkeit, Plattformen von Meta oder X ethisch vertretbar zu bespielen.
Das ändert sich auch dann nicht, wenn man das Fediverse als Feigenblatt nutzt.

Entscheider.innen werden hier zudem unter Vorspiegelung falscher Tatsachen ins Fediverse gelockt:
Im Fediverse reicht es nicht, eine Kopie seiner für andere Netzwerke durchoptimierten Inhalte abzuladen. Das erfolgreiche Platzieren von Posts im Fediverse bedarf einer gänzlich anderen Einstellung gegenüber den eigenen Inhalten und den Nutzer.innen.
Text muss wieder als mehr begriffen werden als notwendiges Beiwerk für bunte Bilder.
Im Redaktionsplan muss Zeit für echte Interaktion mit Nutzer.innen reserviert werden.
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass Jemand im Fediverse deine von KI erstellten Beiträge als eben solche erkennt ist deutlich höher.

Gleichzeitig besteht die Gefahr, dass die dringend notwendige Auseinandersetzung des Fediverse mit sich selbst auf der Strecke bleibt. Schließlich hat man es geschafft, man ist im Mainstream angekommen, man ist auf der re:publica und in der Tagesschau vertreten. Aber reicht das wirklich?
Es ist dringend geboten dass wir uns weiter mit der Willkommenskultur im Fediverse auseinandersetzen. Was macht es mit dem allgemeinen Diskurs, dass Cis-Männer hier in der absoluten Überzahl sind? Welche Probleme treten dabei auf wenn jeder Server seine eigenen Regeln hat, und man sich selbst durch Filter und Blocklisten eine eigene mediale Realität schaffen kann?
Wir beschneiden uns selbst die Möglichkeit etwas Großes zu schaffen, wenn wir uns hier bereits am Ende eines langen Weges wähnen.

Das alles sind eigentlich gute Nachrichten und bietet die Möglichkeit für eine Zukunft in der wieder Menschlichkeit Leitmotiv für den Austausch über Social Media ist.

Dafür müssen wir aber mit offenen Karten spielen:

Kein Mensch hier würde eine KI-generierte Tageszeitung unterstützen, solange in jeder Ausgabe wenigstens ein Text von einem Menschen geschrieben werden würde.

Es gibt keine Abkürzung und keinen Mittelweg. Entweder du machst dich mitschuldig daran Dreckschleudern wie X zu füttern, oder eben nicht.
Entweder du gehst den steinigen und oft nervigen Weg über Social Media wieder mit echten Leuten in echte, solidarische Interaktion einzusteigen, oder eben nicht.

Lasst uns hier also auch stabil und ehrlich bleiben.

Gestern waren wir in den Antextbildern von @reticuleena|s Interview mit dem ZDF-Heute-Journal kurz zu sehen.

Übrigens: Wahnsinn wie präsent auf der diesjährigen re:publica das #Fediverse ist! Im letzten Jahr war das Thema noch extrem unterrepräsentiert. Zudem kommt noch, das bei fast allen Vorträgen unweigerlich auch das Fediverse oder zumindest #Mastodon erwähnt wird. #rep25

Good day all of you LOVELY Fedizens!

Once again, ANOTHER big week coming up on Fireside Fedi! Please note that all times are Eastern / UTC-4.

Es ist jetzt ziemlich genau 10 Jahre her, dass ich es zusammen mit @digitalcourage zu unserer ersten Regel zur Nutzung von Facebook machte, dass man zusätzlich mindestens einen freien Kanal anbieten und bewerben sollte. (Heute würde ich allgemeiner "Social Media" schreiben.)

Insofern geht mir dieser Post von @Sascha natürlich runter wie Butter.
https://bonn.social/@Sascha/114574144029371178

Keep it coming everyone!

Würde echt einen entscheidenden Unterschied machen, wenn nur Nachrichten, Journalist.innen, NGOs und alle staatlichen Stellen das beherzigten. Wer Facebook/Insta/Twitter/Tiktok kann, kann auch #Fediverse. Das ist doch eigentlich das Mindeste, was man erwarten kann.

Hier der Artikel von damals:

@Sascha @mervelous @Mastodon oh! I'm helping with that! So cool to see everyone together talking about the #Fediverse! 👋🏻

Congratulations on your #ActivityPub Open Source Social Network ( #OSSN )
plugin, @redegelde

It's been a pleasure watching it come together.

It's great when more platforms enter the #Fediverse, esp a project like OSSN.

Esp awesome since OSSN is installable in so many PHP hosting control panels, like CPANEL's Softaculous. It's like it is opening the Fediverse to a entirely new class of self-hosters.

FediForum next week is going to be great!

Join us for three half-days (or maybe just one or two half-days) of keynotes, demos, and lots of sessions on all aspects of the #Fediverse, the open social web, and what it all means from technology to societal impact.

Registration: https://fediforum.org/

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

#introduction to the #fediverse

• I work long hours each week. 60+
• I don't use Google, Apple or Microsoft in my day to day life. This includes devices as I run a custom ROM & Linux.

• I run a podcast
• I enjoy tech and cyber security
• I am a family man at heart and managed to get the household to use E2EE messaging apps.

It would be appreciated if you follow me or boost this post. I look forward to new connections on the platform

While #Fedify's #Vocabulary API provides comprehensive support for #ActivityPub and major vendor extensions, its code-generation approach makes runtime extensions challenging. However, the project welcomes contributions to expand the supported types and properties.

Fedify accepts vocabulary contributions when they meet any of these criteria:

• Documented in FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposals) or equivalent specification
• Already adopted by widely-used #fediverse implementations like Mastodon or Pleroma
• Thoroughly discussed within the Fedify community (Discord, Matrix, GitHub Discussions)

Contributing new vocabulary is straightforward. The vocabulary definitions live in YAML files within the fedify/vocab/ directory. To add a new type, create a new .yaml file. To add properties to existing types, extend the properties section in the relevant .yaml file.

This approach ensures Fedify's vocabulary coverage grows with the fediverse ecosystem while maintaining type safety and comprehensive documentation. If you're working with custom ActivityPub extensions, consider contributing them upstream to benefit the entire community.

For detailed guidance on the contribution process, see the Extending the vocabulary section in Fedify's docs.

#PieFed, a federated #Reddit alternative, may well be the most actively updated volunteer-maintained FOSS application. There are new features (not minor ones either) every day along with a number of bug fixes. And it's rock solid.

I update the software on my Piefed server a minimum of twice a day, and even doing this, I'm always afraid I'm falling behind.

For example, these are the changes made last month: https://link.fossdle.org/post/1605. It's a huge list.

And, as a plus, unlike Lemmy, the developers are not tankies. They are great human beings. I never went to Lemmy because of the developers. I just couldn't.

I'm impressed, and I want to throw some public Kudos and thank yous toward the team.

#Fediverse #FediverseApplications

#PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.

Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.

Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds

It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

Fediverse Report – #117

Keynote speakers for FediForum announced, some new interesting updates for PieFed, and 15 years of the software group of Hubzilla, Friendica and others.

The News

PieFed, a link aggregator platform for the fediverse, has made some interesting updates recently. It is one of the first (if not the first) platform to add support for Passkeys to the platform. It has also added flair (community-specific tags) to posts, that are federated as well. PieFed has also made a image hashing service available that can be used by any fediverse platform. This service generates a unique fingerprint of every image, and that fingerprint can be used to identity other posts that use the same or fairly similar images. This can be used for content moderation, PieFed has a demo video available on PeerTube showcasing how it can find and take down multiple posts that all contain a similar image.

FediForum has announced three keynote speakers and published a tentative agenda. On Thursday, June 5, Ian Forrester will give the opening keynote. Forrester has been a driving factor for the BBC R&D department to get the broadcaster to experiment with a Mastodon server. Later on Thursday, Cory Doctorow will give a keynote. On Friday June 6, Christine Lemmer-Webber will give the opening keynote. On Thursday, I will be hosting a session on Whats New at the Open Social Web, where I’ll be going over all the news and events that have happened since 2025.

The branch of fediverse software that consists of Friendica, Hubzilla and more, is now 15 years old. The main developer Mike Macgirvin lists the large number of features that the platforms have, including groups, nomadic identity, comment controls, and much more. When it comes to the large variety of features, no fediverse platform comes anywhere close to what this branch of platforms offer. The software platforms have managed to create their own small self-sustaining communities. While a number of the software platforms such as Streams do not publish any statistics, extrapolating data from what some servers running Hubzilla and Friendica publish, together I would estimate the active accounts to be less than 10k MAU. Still, these communities have managed to find long-term sustainability, exisiting over 15 years in various forms is no mean feat. As Macgirvin says: ‘if you think that this “alternative fediverse” is going away any time soon, you must be new here.’

• Architecting a New Era of Community, with Blacksky’s Rudy Fraser – Flipboard’s Dot Social podcast
• My Dream Fediverse Platform – Sean Tilley/WeDistribute
• Ben Werdmuller has been writing a four-part series on strategies for the open social web, with articles on product strategies for Mastodon, Bluesky, starting fresh, and now his most recent article on various funding strategies for the open social web.
• A detailed overview of how federation between Lemmy and Mastodon works in practice. It is a good indication that using the same protocol does not automatically guarantee good interoperability. Nor is it clear what good interaction pattern between two different types of platforms (microblogging and link-aggregators) would even look like.
• This week’s fediverse software updates.
• Ghost’s weekly update on their fediverse integration, mentioning that ActivityPub is now also available at another vendor who offers Ghost hosting.
• Flipboard is federating another 124 accounts, this time from international publishers. Flipboard now federates over 1200 accounts of publishers.

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —

Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)

The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.
