My “here's to the crazy ones" thesis:

• any #Fediverse self-hosted instance as easy to set up as a Facebook account

• #Fediverse must easily straddle;

- PRIVATE
consumer individual family safe spaces
#privacy #encryption

– OPENWEB
shared public resource, common carrier status,

• SysAdmin a pain = opportunity

• market for #Privacy enabled

• new Laws needed, incumbents will resist


Heute um 18 Uhr spreche ich beim @AntiStalkingProjekt (in der Proskauer Straße 7) übers #Fediverse. Wer in #Berlin und weiblich* ist und spontan Zeit und Lust hat: Kommt vorbei!
Aufsteller vor einer Haustür mit der Aufschrift: "Fediverse - das alternative Netzwerk für soziale Plattformen. Workshop. Wichtige Vorzeile des Fediverse sind u.a. der Schutz der Privatsphäre und der Selbstbestimmung. Mit Leena Simon, Mittwoch 15.03.23 18-20 Uhr


Hallo, ich habe auf dieser Instanz (aktuelle RC) ein Problem mit der Suchfunktion. Wenn ich nach Hashtags suche, werden mir generell keine Treffer angezeigt. Suche ich nach dem gleichen Begriff, nur ohne "#" werden mir Treffer angezeigt, die auch den jeweiligen Hashtag besitzen.
Beispiel: Eine Suche nach "#Fediverse" liefert null Ergebnisse. Suche ich hingegen nach "Fediverse" werden zig Treffer angezeigt.
Irgendwie scheint die Suche nach Hashtags kaputt zu sein?
Ist das sonst noch jemanden aufgefallen?

@Casey Newton writes that Facebook/Meta is now trying to get on the "decentralized network" bandwagon greenwashing too. It is always fascinating to me how very not decentralized all of these things end up looking: from the web3 nonsense, to BlueSky, to now whatever the hell they plan on calling this. "Well you see akshully the technology allows for decentralization therefore it is decentralized even though we control 99.9% of it!" You know what else is a decentralized technology? The world wide web and HTTP. Hopefully the fediverse fix some of our shortcoming before the world buys the techbro bullshit so they can get another successful market monopoly operation. #facebook #meta #SurveillanceCapitalism #decentralization #fediverse https://www.platformer.news/p/meta-is-building-a-decentralized


@atomicpoet
Let me go further further:
Every #FAMILY should have their own #Fediverse instance.


So, I wonder, when did you join the #Fediverse?

Up to you how you count it in case of old accounts, migrated accounts, or accounts that were there but dormant for a long while.

For example: I had joined in April 2017, and moved instances twice. I count this as "earlier" in the poll below.

:boost_ok:

  • after September 2022 (42%, 489 votes)
  • after March 2022 (9%, 105 votes)
  • after January 2020 (9%, 107 votes)
  • earlier (39%, 454 votes)
1155 voters. Poll end: 2 years ago


Hey #Fediverse, I know y'all are sharing the utterly horrendous & #transphobic things as to draw attention to them, but also, please do think of the harm that the constant barrage of posts must be doing to the trans people you know.

Posts about US #transphobia are really starting to be overwhelming, and it'd be very helpful & kind to have them behind a content warning, or at least a hashtag that can be blocked or muted.


Picture placement compatibility test



It's one thing for a #Mastodon user to ask another Mastodon users to use CW because neither have user-defined filters that could do the same, but it's a little irritating to me when a Mastodon user makes a similar request to a #Friendica user because we do have extensive user-defined filters.

I know, I know. #Fediverse #Rant


Heute Abend wird @Tobias um 18 Uhr einen Vortrag zum #Fediverse im Cafe Wostok (Weitlingstraße 97, unweit vom Bahnhof #Berlin #Lichtenberg) geben.

Das Fediverse - Eine Einführung in die emanzipativen sozialen Netzwerke fern ab von Big Tech. In diesem Vortrag wird das Fediverse als Gegenentwurf zu den von Big-Tech dominierten Social Media Diensten vorgestellt. Welche Möglichkeiten bietet das dezentrale, emanzipativ selbstorganisierte Netzwerk als Alternative zum vom Überwachungskapitalismus getriebenen Diensten wie Twitter, Facebook und Instagram? Nach einem Einführungsvortrag ins Fediverse soll es einen Hands-On Teil geben um den Anwesenden die Möglichkeit zu geben vor Ort die ersten Schritte ins Fediverse zu unternehmen.


Towards federated git collaboration


cross-postowane z: https://szmer.info/post/289222
Git was designed as a decentralized version control system from the ground up. Yet it has been subverted by centralizing hosting and collaboration platforms that compete on projects hosting their code on them. Disagreements on where a project should be hosted regularly result in flame wars. But why, since we live in a world of federated services? If the Git hosters would federate, it might not matter on which server a merge request or an issue is filed.

The #gitea issue targeted at adding #activitypub is still open, but it seems to require in-depth architectural changes. So what would be the best bet for a Git hosting platform to be the first in entering the #fediverse?


Of all the #Fediverse software I tried, #Friendica seems to be the one with the best overall compatibility with other platforms.


Lag między "Zapisz obraz jako" a pojawieniem się okienka zapisu, na mastodon.social, obecnie około minuty (na oko).

Ech, lubię brać udział w tym eksperymencie (największa instancja #Mastodon), mam tu konto od dawna, ale ... pomału nie da się na niej pracować normalnie...

Czas zmienić główne konto na inne z moich wcieleń w #Fediverse 😉


please start a #fediverse series or short comic strip, that would be so amazing!😀



I’m not entirely happy the most visible innovations in online technology in the past ten years have been entirely motivated by the ad industry (pivot to video, short form content) or selling artificially scarce digital goods (NFT, Metaverse).

On the bright side, the #Fediverse is a breath of fresh air with no obvious way of exploiting it for profit. It’ll come, of course, but it wasn’t the original motivation for its creation and it’s already something.

Wypada w tym miejscu odnotować, że ten sam #bfdi prowadzi serwer mastodona dla niemieckich instytucji publicznych a oprócz tego na swoich stronach aktywnie promuje korzystanie z #fediverse: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Kurzmeldungen/EN/2022/04_Schnelleinstieg-Mastodon.html


Hallo liebes #Fediverse,
kennt jemand von euch einen guten #Peertube-Client für Android?


@Josh Sternberg So, they’re adding a subscription to a service they were already performing? My own Facebook account was frozen because my pseudonym was flagged as made-up and I had to provide a government ID to get back access to it. What eventually warded me off is that my display name would have been changed to whatever was written on the ID card with no possibility of changing it afterwards.

This is my #Fediverse origin story and I’m glad they are now making this feature strictly opt-in. /s


If #SocialMedia is commercial and centralized on a tracking platform, it is harmful in my eyes.
If SocialMedia is possible on the basis of a free #SocialNetworking like in #Fediverse with friendly users and constructive contributions, then it is valuable for my life.
Since SocialMedia is not equal to SocialMedia, I did not tick anything, but then posted my view here.


Czytam właśnie, że #Discourse zaimplementuje #activitypub.

Będą fora dyskusyjne w #Fediverse 👍 👏

Pozwolą zasubskrybować kategorię w forum, z klienta #Mastodon-a czy innego systemu w Fedi, dostaniesz powiadomienia o nowych wpisach na oś czasu 😀

Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen an diesem I Love Free Software Tag.

Ein Herz, darüber der Schriftzug: I Love FreeSoftware - Show your Love


Vielen Dank an all die Menschen hier im #fediverse die dazu Beitragen, dass Freie Software gewartet, dokumentiert und weiter entwickelt wird; und ganz besonders Dankeschön an all jene, die unermüdlich Fragen beantworten. #ilovefs


Here’s the platform I’m using for drcassone.social. You can learn more, donate, and install your own. @alex has created a premium product and it’s for all to use.

@alex , Groups were finalized today.

Does that have any bearing on things?

Interesting in hearing your perspective on why/why-not and your thoughts on moving forward on it, when it's the right time, etc.

Stellar job on events, BTW 👍

It would sure be nice if you implemented this before mastopub.

It looks like the #Twitter API changes towards a mostly paid model have been pushed from today to February 13th, but I didn't want to take any chances and I went forward and deleted all my tweets yesterday night, as well as severing my #Friendica connector.

It definitely feels different than when my #Facebook account was frozen in 2016 for using this pseudonym I've worn for 17 years now. Back then, I was just brutally faced with the facts, I didn't have any agency which made the move to the #Fediverse straightforward, I didn't have any other choice.

This time, I've had to actually make up my mind about leaving Twitter and stick to my plan in the face of an ever-volatile platform constantly backtracking their most unpopular decisions. It wasn't an easy decision, I had made a few organic connections on there, but I guess even I had to draw a line in the sand.


Today is a last day to reach out to some people still only on Twitter and tell them about the #Fediverse as for today, tools like the https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ still exist.


The degree to which #Web20 companies sought to colonize the #Web never seizes to amaze me.

A hashtag is the fundamental unit of Web Magic, once understood. Basically, name things using hyperlinks (ideally, #HTTP variety) and connectivity magic happens, at Web-scale.

The #Fediverse itself is the latest demonstration of said magic, courtesy of #ActivityStreams 😀

Whoever came up with the tool at fba.ryona.agency is a hero 🤣 Congratulations @graf on having the most blocked instance on the #fediverse .

What did @alex do wrong? 🤣 #defederated

@John Conway Your whole post hinges on growth being desirable. However, with no profit incentive on the #Fediverse, there's no need for growth either. Commercial social networks spend so much on growth and retention because it's integral to their business model, not in their users' best interest, see the toxic culture fostered on Instagram.


I've been thinking about the lack of algorithmic* feeds in the #Fediverse and wondering how much that is hurting growth and retention. Big social media spend billions on getting and keeping eyeballs, and algorithmic timelines are a huge part of that.

I think it's right to avoid it, but I worry that will just forever stunt growth. The alternative is human curators, I think, but I have no idea how to make that happen.

*Yes, I know reverse chronological is an algorithm, algo-pedants.
