Lovely talk by @jaz about how the #Fediverse can help keep endangered language alive

#sfscon25

Mastodon character limit is such a weird concept and useless and pointless I can't believe is still there. People who want to say more than a paragraph need to split it into "threads"...insane!

Look:

How the fuck you get to read and interact with a post divided into tens of comments.....

This is silly as fuck people.

If you have no character limit, guess what, you can still make short posts. But not vice-versa.

It is beyond me why this is still a thing in 2025. Artificial limitations.

Man I LOVE Friendica! A proper way to make posts and interact with people. And yet not many are aware of Friendica and how awesome it is.

@Meredith Whittaker you should either move to a Mastodon instance without character limitation or try Friendca. You can even use our node https://social.trom.tf - and that's for anyone else who is bothered by this artificial limitation of Mastodon.

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub

There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.

👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

How flippin' awesome is that!?

In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.

And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

In case you missed it, the fediverse is under attack by a Pro-Russian Propaganda Network. You can learn more about it in the blog post from @iftas below.

Here are two things everyone can do to help combat this:

1. If you see an account posting or spamming Telegram links, report it. Many of the accounts are impersonating news outlets — check verification status, the account's follower count, or the outlet's website to confirm if the account is real or fake.

2. Donate to your local mods if you can, or at least give them a big virtual hug and say thanks. They've been working tirelessly around the clock to combat this and deserve our gratitude and support.

Stay safe out there, friends.

@Friendica Support

Hi there,
some questions about the behavior of friendica with respect of preserving the content of posts from other servers and other #fediVerse platforms.

There are several options in #friendica to mark posts. There is staring a post or an answer, there is interacting with it like giving a thumbs up or done (like\dislike) and answering, saving to a folder and sharing or resharing a post. Answers can't be stared but saved to a folder, shared and reshared.

What happens when a post or an answer is deleted y the owner of that post or answer?
There are posts from other instances that still are preserved over here even tho they don't exist anymore on the originating server.
What happens if answers are deleted by the owner of the answer? Also, somehow answers to answers are related and they do disappear at least when an answer is deleted locally on this server. Is the same true if an answer is deleted by the originating profile?

Also, have there been changes on the behavior on these aspects in friendica or are their discussion about changing some of those aspects?

Ein langes Wochenende steht vor der Tür... ich erwarte Weltuntergangsstimmung am Donnerstag bei den Wochenendeinkäufen und dann viele interessante Vorträge und Gespräche beim 2. Berliner Fediday auf der c-base

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:

I'm sad to see IFTAS Connect shutting down. #IFTAS offered a community platform for server admins and moderators, committed to keeping the #fediverse safe.

#Fediverse #Merch

Hello Fediverse I want to make a short announcement about the https://social.trom.tf Friendica instance run by my friend @tio

Currently that instance is going through a big server migration process and it will take a couple of hours for it to get finished. So if you mention or send anyone messages during this time it might not reach them.

#fediverse #PSA #Friendica #TROM

@Hypolite Petovan
Actually I think #Fediverse admins should definitely talk about what measures to take in terms of moderation and federation as long as someone is suggesting blocking whole instance for one post, that was moderated.

Common moderation process on #Czech instances is:
1. Delete post, notify user
2. If violated again, block the user
3. (not always) admins warn themselves if violator registers on different instance

In my point of view blocking whole instance is overreaction as long as it's easy to just defederate rule violator.

In my point of view you defederate instances where bad stuff is tolerated, not instances, where it's moderated - that does not make sense and even though it is meant to be just a recommendation this can make instance appear on some sort of block list between csam and nazis, where nobody checks url after url if they actually are problematic.

I consider this more dangerous than one (moderated) post

Anyone hosts @PeerTube videos on object storage like Backblaze B2 ? If so is it reliable? Difficult to setup?

And how about storing the videos on HDDs? Is it too slow?

What can I say. I'm good at what I do.

Actually, I have no clue. One thing I have noticed about gamerplus.org

When I want to make an external link to a post, first I click on the post and I get something that looks like

https://gamerplus.org/deck/@me@social.jlamothe.net/115024727760440404

Which might not work. But if I take /deck out

https://gamerplus.org/@me@social.jlamothe.net/115024727760440404

It works.

Let me know if either or both of these work for you.

Thanks

@screwlisp @Jerry on Friendica I managed to get it working. I'm really not sure what changed, but I think that @hairylarry following me first made a difference for some reason.

With the launch of Ghost 6.0, every publication that runs on Ghost becomes part of the #fediverse. You can follow and comment on Platformer or 404 Media articles without leaving your Mastodon feed. This is the future of social media.

Congratulations to @johnonolan and all the team at Ghost!

Hi, friends.

I wrote an article on being a Mastodon moderator. I talk about the process, our mental health, the challenges of mutual aid, and more.

It leaves me a little vulnerable, but I think it’s an important story to tell.

If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Okay, here goes…

ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users 🚨 🦋

If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.

This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.

Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.

Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.

This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.

If you have chosen to share your
own data with commercial platforms, make sure you leave the same choice to others.

This is important.
