@evan

Look, it's late and I'm a silly old fool but...

... my entire life, I have worked in one way or another to try and make the Trek / Culture future come true. And now I'm chatting to you, on a platform based on something *you* created that is a seed of that future. I find that incredible.

#TheFederation / #Fediverse / #Culture is sooo close, so damned close. The free association of sentients as equals, beyond all our ridiculous, pernicious -isms.

We need our dreams!


Beware of billionaires peddling “decentralisation”.

Anyone seeking a decentralised world would never allow themselves to do the things it takes to become (or remain) a billionaire. Billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations are the epitome of centralisation.

Decentralisation begins at decentring yourself.

Last Boost: Adweek called out fake brands on the #fediverse as "bad for advertisers", and to that, I say: good! Stay out of our space!

Remember, kids, only trust brands that are the ludicrous ones we host at https://brands.town !


I am not prepared to give up on Quote Boosts. I want to speak with the manager. #makemastodongreat #newfeatures #fediverse #mastodon



Hey, new friends from Twitter! Welcome to the #fediverse. <gestures broadly>

Thanks for coming to help us build a rich and varied social network.

If you appreciate having this network to come to, you can show it by:

- sticking around
- posting regularly
- connecting with people
- engaging in conversation

We know you need to talk about Twitter right now. That's OK! But we're more than just an anti-Twitter support group, so make sure to bring more of yourself here.


Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.

Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.

Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.


Twitter is now blocking links to pixelfed!

"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win"

"What does Friendica wants to be"?



Actually what I want is a #Fediverse logo that works in B&W and small sizes.

The current one look nice enough big, but fails on both those counts.

#logo #design
The Fediverse logo.


For no apparent reason, I made this alternative #Mastodon logo. I think it was created out of my burning conviction that logos should all be visual puns, and the more puns the better.

So here it is, the head is a speech bubble AND the body is an "M". Puneriffic!

#design #logo #fediverse


If you were bringing your newsy publication into the #fediverse, what server would you call home? Feel free to expand on your experiences with any of these in the replies. Thanks fedizens!

I interviewed @evan about creating #ActivityPub, his complicated feelings about Mastodon, and opportunities for #developers in the #fediverse. Needless to say, he has some excellent ideas for the fedi-future, so I do hope you read it. https://thenewstack.io/the-creator-of-activitypub-on-whats-next-for-the-fediverse/


This is a great blog article from @Marcus Hutchins :verified: :unverified: :verified: :unverified: about the #Fediverse particular moderation paradigm, and not just because it's a welcome display of humility which public spaces aren't generally too full of.

Please don't campaign for instance-blocking because a particular post appeared in your timeline. There are better and healthier ways to deal with objectionable posts : report the particular post and the account to the instance admin, block the user from your account. Instance-blocking without reasonable grounds (just because you can) harms the #fediverse.

I am a bit shaken by the aggressive nature of those who campaign for instance-blocking right now.

When posting stats about the number of people (not “users”) joining the fediverse (not “Mastodon”), please also post about the number of instances.

If 400,000,000 people join BigTech.social tomorrow, that’s not a win. That’s how you recreate Twitter.

So let’s focus on what matters. Sure it‘s great that the fediverse is becoming more popular but the character of that popularity matters. How it scales matters. Avoiding corporate capture matters.

Do you know someone who is on here but you can't find their account by searching?

Try exchanging account addresses with them, the same way you would exchange phone numbers. This is the most reliable method for finding someone on here.

Your account address is on your profile page, and you can paste other people's addresses into the search box to make their accounts appear. You can then just click follow on their profile page.

More info at:

If you don't know what Peertube is, have a look at https://joinpeertube.org/ to get a sense of what this decentralised video platform is all about.

And the best part is, because #peertube and mastodon rely on the same protocol and are both part of the #fediverse, you can follow our Peertube account right from your Mastodon account!

Hello #Fediverse! We are https://linuxgaming.fans, a #Mastodon instance based around #Linux and #Gaming on the OS. No matter if you are running a desktop #debian build or an #arch based #steamdeck, we're here to discuss games, configurations, how-tos, and finding new friends to share our passion with!

Our registrations are limited at the moment as we are still in the process of configuring the server. You're welcome to submit for an account though!

Hope to see you soon!

2023 is the 15th reunion meeting of #identicats somewhere on the #Fediverse?

Right now it feels a bit that way when looking at the batches of contact requests. Like trying to ping old classmates ahead of the event.


i love talking about federation in the #fediverse because it's as close as I'll ever get to being in starfleet 🖖 #socialmedia #scifi


If people are also interested in the other #fediverse videos, there is a wonderful page ;)

Hey friends! https://ottawa.place is now open for signups 🎉🇨🇦❤️

@andrew and I built it as a hosted-in-Canada, capital-region-focused (but open to all Canadians) instance.

Please boost so folks can find us! 👀

Stunning!

Captures the essence of "forge", with a #mascot that stores a most valuable resource of sustenance for later retrieval and on its person (squirrels stuff lots of nuts in their cheeks and #stash them away nearby)...

FOSS is the #sustaining food of the Fediverse, and this #squirrel is #forging that basic staple.

0 so far, trying to convince some folks though! The #Fediverse "just seems so hard" to a lot of my friends.


Hello !Friendica Support,

is it possible to block a #fediverse platform like peertube completely, or do I have to block each instance individually?

Since Peertube is obviously only moderated on the fewest instances, I would find a #whitelist concept very good.

#question #peertube


I see so many critics of decentralized social networks, and the #fediverse in particular, because of distrust of individual instance administrators as curators of social history.

But as we've now seen quite dramatically, a person with a big enough wallet and vendetta can just as easily destroy social history backed by a giant corporation. I'd rather put more trust into decentralized instance admins, particularly smaller ones. #Mastodon


and hopefully this will be true for the future, with the network adapting to usages in a continuous matter ;)

long live the #fediverse 😁


I’ve considered whether to put tracker code into links to sort this out (we haven’t).

Where I work, we use #Matomo so this is fairly benign, it isn’t cookie based and logs are removed etc. We do as much as we can to make it privacy friendly.

But that isn’t everyone.

Organisations will want to undeerstand their reach if they start using #fediverse platforms, and they will mostly use #GoogleAnalytics.

How should users and orgs approach this? Are there any good solutions?

Seeing Big Tech folks jump into the fediverse and – without so much as a “how do you do, fellow kids?” – roll up their sleeves to write the rules, dream up commercial services, and pontificate about how advertising should run on it. 👀
