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.



@m0bi @BfDI @Chris Trottier
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


@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.

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!
