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.

I just discovered Arcmage, a free and open source self-described collectible card game inspired by Magic: The Gathering. Not sure about the "collectible" part because you can buy the full card sets (5 extensions of 50 cards have been published).

They also have a presence on the #Fediverse: @arcmage@mastodon.social

I'm trying to compile a list of folks on #peertube who make lets plays and/or game reviews and the like so that I can help people find creators to follow. If you know of any gamers on PeerTube, or even just interesting gaming videos please send me a reply with recommendations!

Discovered these 2009 photos of Laconica Hackfest by @zcopley!

Laconica is the first piece of the #fediverse. It took a over decade of work to blossom into what it is today... Some participants who have taggable handles on this version of the protocol:

I present the first named release of the Friendica mobile/desktop client: Relatica. It is still very much a work in progress but I'm going to start opening it up for beta usage (early beta). For iOS that will mean me letting up to 100 people into the inside testing team (Apple's limit). For the other platforms I'll be posting binaries/packages/install instructions for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows in the coming days as well. I also setup a Relatica Matrix room for interactive discussions with me and other users. The README on the GitLab repo will have all those sorts of details. Enjoy! #friendica #FriendicaDev #relatica #flutter #DartLang #fediverse https://gitlab.com/mysocialportal/relatica

At this point in the game, Brands Town has been contacted by legal representatives of four major corporations: Nestlè, Google, DeutcheBahn, and Coca-Cola.

If you think brands aren't paying attention to the #fediverse, you're wrong! 🎉


I got tired of forgetting where the #RSS / #Atom #feeds are on various #Fediverse platforms and having to track them down, so I started a list.

https://hyperborea.org/tech-tips/fediverse-feeds/

Currently covers *deep breath* #Mastodon, #Bookwyrm, #Funkwhale, #GoToSocial, #Lemmy, #Misskey & forks, #Pleroma & forks #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Plume, #Snac2, #Takahe, and #WriteFreely

*whew*

Feel free to let me know what I should add to the list (or any corrections I need to make) in a reply to this post!


#Medium – the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter – now has a #Mastodon server.

It might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (https://write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (https://writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the folks who bequeathed you Twitter.


Celebrating Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists showing an interest in the fediverse is like celebrating wolves showing an interest in your chicken coop.

I have been largely keeping out of the debate about #fediverse “governance”. As someone who has participated in OSS governance systems I see the value of them and I do think a #fediverse foundation could be a good idea. More importantly I think now that the overall #activitypub system is being used so much more there will be a need to revise and extend the protocol and for that we will need @w3c activity (workshop / working group).


People often say, “The #Fediverse is bigger than just #Mastodon!”

But that’s not quite true; Mastodon is actually four times bigger than the rest of the Fediverse COMBINED. And its size matters:


@h2o my 2023 wish is to learn #Krita. I saw real nice artists here in the #fediverse


We pinned the tag #Fediverse and with a long press, we added in "Any of these" #Fedilab, #Mastodon and #Pixelfed.
Now the pinned timeline will display all messages having these tags.
You can also exclude tags. #FedilabTips
Screenshot of Fedilab where a pinned tag has been long pressed. A menu allows to add "Any of these". We added fedilab, Pixelfed and Mastodon.


There are a few clips from #ladygaga interviews that I keep on hand to just to keep me from going insane. On a few occasions her insight is so piercing that it justifies the five separate accents she says things in. #twitter #fediverse


Hello !Friendica Support
when I click a #Fediverse post link in #Firefox it opens in @Fedilab Apps, but it only works to load the post if a Mastodon account is selected and not if a Friendica account is active.

How can we trouble shoot this? @Fedilab Apps what does #Fedilab do with such a link, which API call does it perform to retrieve the post?


The problem as I see it is very much not the information or technology itself, but the very real ways in which corporations have poured billions of dollars into hijacking the #brain. After a month on #Mastodon, I think decentralized, not for profit social media like the #fediverse is the massive, accidental #PublicHealth intervention we really need right now.


It takes all sorts to make a world. We just do our business and we don't argue with other instances. That's #fediverse


Instagram is trying to intimidate us with threats of legal action.

Help us bring awareness to our project by sharing this post, and consider donating if possible.

We're not giving up. #fediverse


Our Fediverse isn't done. It's designed for change. Newcomers, please keep this in mind before lamenting. Also, there are manuals. We require real discourse to implement needed features. We will build it, but there's a well established process. Start here with 'Open Source' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
Floss has and will prevail over commercial hegemony. Then, learn how to submit bugs and feature requests here. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/dev/disclosure/
Does this seem like too much work? Your behaviors and posts are not monetized here, so your time, feedback and understanding is what floss needs to prosper. Also, if you can, pay into your instance. Bandwidth costs. It's a huge amount of work to moderate responsibly. #Fediverse #OpenSource #BlackMastodon #TwitterMIgration
