What if the universe is set up just like the Fediverse, but we don’t know about the existence of any other life because our Earth instance was preemptively blocked for hateful conduct.

This is why I have mixed feelings about #Mastodon going mainstream, data scrapers are a much bigger threat for us now. Just because I decided to make a post public doesn't mean it can be scraped, archived, and stored in an entirely separate database. This is a form of #SurveillanceCapitalism and us #Fediverse folks hate it with a passion.

My guess is Trump coming back to the birdsite is going to lead to a third wave of new users on here. Pray for the hosts/admins. More importantly, give them money. They work for you. Elon's bosses are the advertisers and the governments that regulate/subsidize his other businesses. #fediverse

You came to the #fediverse to escape #Musk.

I came to become the Musk of my own instance.

Over the summer I was really ramping up my Friendica contributions so wrote some quick guides on how to set it up for serving or developing. Then other projects looked like it'd be a while before I'd get back to it so I crushed all my VMs. Now I'm contributing again so have my handy blog posts to help me bootstrap again. This is *exactly* why I put this stuff on my blog in the first place. Helps others and even makes it easier to help my future self. #blogging #friendica #friendicadev #fediverse #documentation https://nequalsonelifestyle.com/2022/07/30/creating-friendica-server-ubuntu/

Tutorial: Creating a Friendica Server with Ubuntu 22.04

The main Friendica documentation has install instructions for setting up the core part of the system. However it assumes that you have properly installed all the dependencies and leaves securing the system as an exercise to the user.

Considering the recent events regarding short-message systems usage and change of patterns we have reduced the server capacity of a well-known bird shaped service and have reassigned the servers to #fediverse!

Gleichzeitig witzig und peinlich! 😂 2014 hatte ich versucht, mein Umfeld zur 3-monatigen Nutzung von Friendica (parallel zu Twitter oder FB etc.) zu motivieren. Das hab ich mir gerade nochmal durchgelesen.

Deprecated Facebook Connector(s)
@Friendica Support
Hello again!
I just had the great or dump idea (could not test it out yet) to reactivate my Facebook account to advertise the #fediverse, and especially #Friendica . I drew my motivation from the text
With Friendica, you can also fully interact with anyone on Twitter, post on Facebook and receive any content on Tumblr, Wordpress or RSS. Friendica allows you to integrate most things on the web via a range of addons such as ITTT, Buffer; you will be able to easily control your own data as you decide.
https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/develop/README.md

But then I read:
Facebook Connector, Facebook Post Connector and Facebook Sync plugins are deprecated. As of the moment you cannot bridge from or to Facebook with Friendica.
https://github.com/friendica/friendica/wiki/How-to:-Friendica%E2%80%99s-Facebook-connector

How about updating the README.md regarding the state-of-the-art in 2022?

BTW: I will nevertheless try to motivate the local Facebook crowd to have a try with #Friedica , evnen though I loved the idea to post there directly from the #fediverse .

Cheers

Has anyone written about #Mastodon access in countries which sometimes block access to social media (e.g. Egypt, Russia, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, etc)?

It seems to me there's power in the distributed network - making it all but impossible for a government to IP block the entire #Fediverse.

That's an enormous advantage.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

Oh boy. The guy who founded #Fedified is speculating about a 2-tiered #Fediverse, and thinks growth will go to the version that enables "capitalist pursuits".

Is he right? Is this the Fediverse we're doomed to have?

Or can we build a better future?
@laprice @danhon I *generally* agree with this approach, but I can't emphasize this enough— it's very likely that we'll end up with a 2-tiered fediverse. The money and growth will go to the version that adopts community norms & frameworks that enable capitalist pursuits— reputation management and brand integrity are cornerstones. This will happen regardless of what you, I, or anybody else wants. It's how the world works— a painful lesson I learned while advocating for COVID safety measures.

A lot of people are moving to @Mastodon, but I also get a lot of misconceptions and questions about how it works, and about this cool giant social network that is the #Fediverse, including @pixelfed or @peertube. So, to answer all these questions, and myabe introduce you to some other parts of the Fediverse, I think it's time for a quickstart guide!

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I want to add an application into the #ActivityPub (mostly for fun).

Is there any kind of local toolchain which allow to test the proper implementation so that over #Fediverse systems can understand it properly?

Boost would be great, thanks :rubberduck:
#fediverse #activitypub

Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏

This is what it says about itself:

"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."

It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the #Fediverse stands for.

People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.

You can already verify your account on here without using any centralised lists:

👑 🔇 Cool. Realized you can download the so-called #fedified CSV list and import the file to your #Mastodon #mute list so you don't have to see all the clout chasers coming here thinking that their following count should give them some kind of special privileges in the #Fediverse.

First of all, thanks for creating this fantastic app to traverse the #fediverse! Love it!
Need to know how to customise it. Is there an easy to follow guide?

Understanding a little bit more about the #fediverse through data. Here is a plot of all #fediverse instances at instances.social as a function of their number of users and toots (statuses) and if they are open for new accounts. In general, instances are small in the number of users (median = 28). Interestingly, there are a lot of small, very active, and closed servers in the #fediverse. Also, some of the biggest servers are Japanese communities.
This chart shows the relationship between the number of users and the number of toots (statuses) for all the instances in the fediverse. Each point corresponds to one instance, where the horizontal coordinate is the number of users and the vertical coordinate is the number of toots. Points are colored in orange if the instance is open for new registrations or blue if they are closed. The plot shows a large dependence between number of toots and number of users. We also see some interesting facts: there is a lot of blue points in the left top part, which correspond to small, very active and close for registration instances. On the top right we see the instances which are biggest in the number of users and toots. In that part of the plot three instances are annotated: "mastodon.social" (open), "mastdn.jp" (open) and "pawoo.net" (closed).

@Anfeald @soapbox@gleasonator.com You're very welcome, and #Pleroma itself is kind of a hot mess now, largely in disarray, maybe even somewhat stalled after the very professionally minded #Soapbox developer left that project, forking it when he did…

I thought it was important I share this picture of a #squirrel with a #donut in its mouth to the entire #Fediverse because when I posted it to #Twitter, it got one like. And I know #Mastodon will not allow such injustice.
A grey squirrel stands on top of a bush, arms at its side, and a chocolate-glazed donut in its mouth. The donut has a clear human bite mark facing the camera as if it was tasted, then discarded.

It's nice that #Mastodon is getting all this new attention. Just wanted to remind everyone that there's more than just Mastodon on the Fediverse.

I wanted to setup a single-user instance on the Fediverse, but did not want to deal with the involved Mastodon install (which I've done a while ago). I found Soapbox with Rebased as the back-end and used that. The setup was super simple, it runs well on a low resource machine and the UI is fantastic.

Thanks to @alex for making Soapbox.

these days people crisscrossing between posts and boosts and following random people and entering random threads to start up their presence. There isn't a warmup phase as #fediverse don't offer that: if you're not getting involved you get no messages. That's a hard period, when regulars should keep repeat with extreme patience the expected #norms here, apart from the local server specific norms.
Some pepole think this can be skipped, but they're wrong (IMHO).

Das #Fediverse ersetzt nicht nur Twitter!

Das Fediverse bietet einen ganz neuen Weg, wie wir unabhängig Dinge digital veröffentlichen und uns darüber austauschen können. Egal ob das jetzt Kurznachrichten, Bilder, Videos, Podcasts, Artikel, wissenschaftliche Papers, Open Educational Resources oder Events sind.

Mastodon ist ideal für Kurznachrichten, für passives lesen, oder für kurze Interaktionen. Entsprechende Software spezialisiert auf #OER oder Wissenschaftliches wird auch noch kommen!

#ActivityPub is to #Linux

#Fediverse network is to Linux users/community

Software which implemented ActivityPub is to Linux distros. Examples:
- Mastodon is to Ubuntu
- Pleroma is to Debian
- MissKey is to Linux Mint
- Friendica is to Pop_OS

You don't stop using a refrigerator because the brand you bought broke down immediately. You find a new brand.

It's the same with Linux and the Fediverse.

#Introduction Hello Mastodon! I've spent the last day looking around and I like what I see, so thanks #fediverse for what you've built, and the warm welcome to new folks like me.

Who am I? I am no one. Just someone who's been lucky enough to work in #Antarctica for 16 years, and is back for another summer season, this time on the #antarcticpeninsula .

I am employed here, but don't represent anyone but me. I'm proud to work in Antarctica, and happy to share with you. Not a #twittermigration .
