#Mozilla just announced they are joining the #fediverse :fediverse:

"In early 2023, Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social"

they will start with Mastodon, but are "looking forward to working on the challenges that crosscut the Fediverse"

You are not the audience. That is one of the most difficult lessons to learn when you’re an early career journalist in an audience role. We’re biased to assume that our experiences and motivations are similar to those of the majority. That’s not necessarily so. A good audience director is part economist, part sociologist, part anthropologist and part journalist.

Are folks really pressuring independent artists, authors, etc., not to promote their work here?

Do you also picket your local independent cafe and mom and pop stores? What happens if you succeed in shutting them down? That’s right, you end up with a McDonald’s in their place.

Please learn to separate capitalists from folks trying to survive under capitalism. Independent people trying to pay their rent isn’t advertising, it’s existing. What Coca-Cola does is advertising.

Shoutout to all the #activityPub developers that are dealing with this huge influx of people!

I have the unique privilege of running the only non-mastodon instance (https://pixelfed.social) among the top 20 most popular #fediverse instances.

Doing my best to keep it running smoothly, and also ship bug fixes, new features and the mobile apps 😅


@João Pinheiro Got it. The software is fine though, and while I acknowledge they're the biggest #Fediverse player, I wish they were more gracious about the larger network.


@Mastodon
Understanding that freedom of the press is absolutely essential for a functional democracy, we are excited to see Mastodon grow and become a household name in newsrooms across the world, and we are committed to continuing to improve our software to face up to new challenges that come with rapid growth and increasing demand.
No love for the #Fediverse, huh? I understand you are the coolest kid in the room right now, so please be mindful of your behavior and decentralize the attention.


@Angle I do not share your worry. Most of the #Twitter experience is summed up by having access to all the people all the time, and this was only possible because of the centralized nature of the platform. You simply can't recreate the same paradigm on the #Fediverse for network structure reasons. Not even on mastodon.social that now gets routinely defederated, cutting into the access some people crave.


@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.


✨ PixelDroid, a 3rd party android app for Pixelfed just released a new version!

▶️ Get the app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/

We ❤️ open APIs, and our developer community - the amazing experiences they provide really showcase the power of open source! #pixelDroid #openAPIs #fediverse


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.

Context :

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.

#BigTech #fediverse #scale #focus


THIS great sentiment

maybe we ALL take a serious & sober look at how ABSENCE of LAW over past 18 years (not bad law, shitty or law unfair law... no law)
in:
• #internet
• #mobile #social
• #privacy
• #surveillance
• #AI #ML
• #data #governance

This is a massive #mastodon #fediverse opportunity we can collectively capitalize on before #SiliconValley #BigTech #VC carpet baggers arrive.

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:

#Mastodon #Fediverse

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!

Give it a go: @privacyint@media.privacyinternational.org


Wie Fragen an das große Fediverse stellen?



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 ;)
