The #fediverse is a self-organising network. It cannot be controlled by any one group, trillion dollar company, super-state or any other single entity.
It is a more level playing field than other social networks.
It is not entirely fair and does unfortunately import many problems from outside.
But it can be improved.
And individuals can make a difference.
If you see something you don't like on your timeline you have many options: DM your friends to discuss, block, report, move instance, etc.
this fact that people intervening in a thread do NOT see the whole thread destabilizes me every time
How does it look on your system?
any one working on full #Punycode support in their #fediverse apps?
@xn--c1h@xn--c1h.tk should really display as @▲@▲.tk and there is no reason that shouldn’t be a valid handle. of course we need security measures in place for homograph attacks but that should not stop us from supporting the worlds languages.
Boosting is highly appreciated. 😀
Speedup from Release to Release
Hi Friendica developers and contributors,
I just wanted to mention that the friendica is gaining speed every time a new version is released. I'm watching that since several years now and I am very happy about that. I know this has several reasons, like the restructuring of the database, the code cleanup and the philosophy you are working on how the code will be structured now and in the future.
So, thank you for all the work you have done and all the smart decisions you made, that brought us to this Friendica version we are now. 🌻
This is a really great platform and community. 🎊🎉🚀
I can use nitter.net instead, but then the feed import would have to be tweaked.
Isn't it possible to just retrieve a tweets text and media? That pretty much sounds like a scraper job, but maybe the API allows this too? I think #IFTTT can get the Tweets text, not sure about the media.

A very good year-in-review article about the #Fediverse, by @lostinlight
Even #Friendica is mentioned!

I believe they are harboring french trolls with everything that it entails, harassment, graphic content, antisemitism, you name it.

Decentralization is the only way to systemically fight social media disinformation
#Russia 's information warfare in the #US didn't stop after Trump was elected. And US social network giants have failed to address it in the last 4 years. Partly because they directly benefit from content engagement, partly because as centralized platforms with billions of users, they naturally offer a bigger incentive to spread misinformation than any effort they are willing to mount to fight it.
The real solution, of course, is breaking the system into human-sized parts, through #decentralization. Even the biggest english-speaking #Fediverse instance has only 400,000 users, which makes it a mediocre target for misinformation with no opportunity for paid reach towards the nearly 3 million #Fediverse users.
