"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. 👀

We created the account at Mastodon only a week ago and this community here grown to over 32,000.

Thank you for welcoming us here, thank you for all boosts, comments, advice, support and your engagement.

We are still learning and try to find our specific language on this platform. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Remember with us and amplify our voice.

If your instance is blocking an instance with folks you'd like to still read, you can add any Mastodon account to your feed reader (I like NetNewsWire myself) by using the following formula:

https://instance.name/@user.rss

Most of my projects never lived on #GitHub, the main reason for having an account there is contributions to projects that live there. Really looking forward to having @forgefed functionality available, the #Fediverse of source code. After being silent for some time, the initiative appears to show some activity recently.


Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.

#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!

This will be a massive expansion, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.

This is the way the internet is supposed to work.


The question is, what is the context? Ie, explaining to people on Twitter, I say "find me on #Mastodon". Yes I know they can follow me with #Friendica or #Pleroma but "find me on the #Fediverse" doesn't name a concrete thing and that's going to be confusing. If I'm on Pleroma or Friendica I will probably already understand I can interact with Mastodon.

That said, I do want to make sure people know the Fediverse is much more than Mastodon. The question is: when and how to introduce that?


I agree in principle but it's kind of inevitable (for now) since it's easily the most recognizable app in the #fediverse


I'm also SUPER excited for the #fediverse and the freeing of folks from walled gardens. So keep preaching please! :-D\o/


Hey #Fediverse, what are the *longest continuously running* #Friendica instances out there?

Pretty sure there are some that's been active for 10+ years. Which ones?

Context: Friendica has been around long before Mastodon, long before ActivityPub, and was always amazing about implementing open protocols of other networks.

It's now part of fedi, but also fedi's very real connection to the days of yore, when OStatus was a thing and the Earth was young.
