#Enshittification #Mastodon


Unter #UnisinsFediverse versuchen wir möglichst viel öffentlichen Druck aufzubauen, damit die Hochschulen endlich X verlassen und stattdessen die sozialen Medien im #Fediverse nutzen. Teil der Kampagne ist eine Petition:

https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/appell-an-die-hochschulrektorenkonferenz-zur-nutzung-sozialer-medien

Jede Unterstützung zählt: Unterschriften, weiterverbreiten, mit Uni-Leitungen reden und sie überzeugen Musk den Rücken zu kehren und das Fediverse zu unterstützen!

When you search for #gif and all you get is #Mastodon MP4 posted by people that think it is a gif. 😪😔😢


I have noticed some strange behavior and would like to confirm it here if anyone experienced it too.

When you create post, that waits for federating to servers and edit it before it reaches #Mastodon server (not sure if it happens to other #Fediverse instances too), then the post never reaches target instance (or target instance rejects it?)

Is it just me, or it's some kind of bug (or expected behavior)?

person who only talks about being trans annoyed by person who only talks about using linux #Mastodon


No, the whole thing get renamed to social web ... good to be not at the #Mastodon network.


Federating with a surveillance capitalist doesn’t make you a surveillance capitalist, it just means that surveillance capitalism isn’t a deal breaker for you.

A reminder that if you don't want to remain on a #Mastodon instance that federates with #Threads but also don't want to abandon your content, you can move it using #MastodonContentMover 👉 https://MastodonContentMover.github.io

(I need to update it to use the most recent version of the #BigBone library, but I don't want to try to rush that and mess something up, especially not right now, and the version that's there should still work fine. If you run into any problems with it please do let me know 🙏)


TIL how to #subscribe to a #PeerTube channel using my #Mastodon account - #ActivityPub is such a nice thing!

P.S.: not my video, just sharing it for you all

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

#Threads #Mastodon #Krita #MastoArt #Meta

A small Mastodon mascot is happy to roll out a red carpet to welcome the footsteps of Meta; a representation of the death, a skeleton in a black robe with a scythe. This one has a head band with the Meta logo, and a keychain with large logo of What's App, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The skeletons walks happily while hidding the scythe on their back. This is a representation of how naive the tiny Mastodon can be.

Zuck na Threats:

"Rozpoczynamy test, w ramach którego posty z kont Threads będą dostępne w serwisie Mastodon i innych usługach korzystających z protokołu ActivityPub. Zapewnienie interoperacyjności Threads da ludziom większy wybór sposobu interakcji i pomoże treściom dotrzeć do większej liczby osób. Podchodzę do tego dość optymistycznie.

Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people. I'm pretty optimistic about this."

Nie piszę tego tootka przez XMPP, bo go Zuck przetestował, rozszerzył, przejął i wyłączył...

@tutorial

Summing up tests "activating" and "deactivating" @[Mentioned people only] on #mastodon. Apparently there have been some changes.
(from v3 to v4?)

You can't add more people into already existing posts. They won't be able to display it nore get notifications.
(if that ever existed)

You can deactivate/delete mentions, the profile won't get notifications of updates but still can see or search those toots.
note:
still awaiting confirmation of behaviour on #friendica

Sneak peek at the overhauled Agora client that will support logging in with either your #Mastodon, #Nostr, or #BlueSky account and seeing posts from the other two protocols!

Super awesome to see what’s possible thanks to amazing bridges by @alex and @snarfed.org and @cheeaun for the awesome Phanpy base to build off of


Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months (if that) on Mastodon, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".

It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

Na kanale @fruktozaur na #Tube #PolSocial znajdziecie fajny materiał, jak postawić sobie własnego #Invidious oraz co to w ogóle jest i jak to wykorzystać, by się odciąć od "złego" YouTube:
https://tube.pol.social/w/6CTvPNGjAmG7Gdemwzihrp

Tutaj można zasubskrybować ten kanał w #Fedi, bo #PeerTube działa w federacji więc i z #Mastodon: @fruktozaur_main

A jeśli chcecie jedynie korzystać z istniejącego Invidious, to jest wiele instancji, w tym https://yt.elonego.com, w której jakoś maczam palce 😉


Just read a phenomenal upshot that #Mastodon doesn't have enough celebrities, nor an addictive algorithm, so that's why it isn't "bigger"... It was phrased as a complaint, but I'm running with it all the way to the other goal post:

Mastodon (and the #fediverse in general) shows us what a post-egomaniac, post-mass-media world looks like.

Throw that the heck on the front of the cereal box for Mastodon, "NOW WITH LESS SOCIETAL SICKNESS! FORTIFIED WITH REAL HUMAN DISCUSSION!".

I'd buy a box! 🥣😀


@harry haller yes, you basically say that Disapora should be centralised, otherwise there is no "public stream".

Same thing goes for everything "federated" like #mastodon: small instances get zero traffic and visibility, so decentralisation equals segmentation and disarray. 🙁


Ce matin je me suis dit : pourquoi pas tester Mastodon pour communiquer nos avancés Gaming! En plus c'est en français donc franchement il faut se lancer! #mastodon #gaming #jeuxvideo


Hey, fellow #Mastodon (and #fediverse) #admins:

I am working on my book about the fedi and would like to get a sense of what it costs to run your server per month.

Anyone willing to share numbers? (Feel free to do it via DM if you don't want it public). Please let me know your instance and how much it costs.

Boosts welcome!


Strangers offering unsolicited advice or derailing conversations should be familiar to all who use social media. In our new #Mastodon for Android update, we’re testing a new feature aimed to curb these behaviours:

@heluecht @one @sascha

Bei #Pleroma sind mir neulich schon Unterschiede in der Implementation im Vergleich zu #Mastodon aufgefallen (an anderer Stelle).

Wenn #Pleroma #ActivityPub "erweitert", würde es die Kompatibilität zum Standard brechen...!?!


Veronica (@vkc) who created the popular #YouTube-Channel "Veronica Explains", now posts videos to her self-hosted #PeerTube instance!

Nice content about technology and retro tech.

You can find it here:

@veronicaexplains

Great to see that more good content begins to pop up in #PeerTube

Das ist ein reines #Mastodon Problem. #Firefish implementiert das ohnehin so, dass man bei einem langen Text nur die ersten paar Zeilen sieht.

Wer hat schon Lust alles so zu posten, dass es auf jeder Platform korrekt dargestellt wird.


Frage | Friendica: Gibt es einen Filter für Plattformen?


Ich würde so gerne mal Mastodon ausfiltern um mal wieder zumindest annähernd zu erleben wie das Fediverse vor Mastodon und all den Rotz der darüber her gekommen ist war. </ironie>

#Frage #Friendica #Filter #Plattform #Mastodon #Nostalgie #2023-11-10 @Friendica Support


Constantly hearing ”got tired of Mastodon’s technicalities, Bluesky is simple and amazing”.

How we could design Mastodon to be more simple and have less technical-feel to it? UI is one thing, but that will not cut it all. I have probably said this before, but I am starting to believe no matter what we do we can’t ”win”. The narrative might need to change. 🤷‍♂️

#SocialMedia #Bluesky #Mastodon


In the last few weeks, I have been trying to organise the #Mastodon development work, so our (very small!) resources are used efficiently. This led us to a tentative roadmap for Mastodon 4.3, with a (very optimistic) release date before Christmas.

Here are the main items ⤵️

#mastodev


@OldKid

Danke. Allerdings ist das, wenn man z.B. nur mal eben einen Videoschnipsel vom Smartphone teilen will... nun ja ... reichlich umständlich und suboptimal.

Das macht #Mastodon deutlich besser.

Also muss ich wohl vorerst doch mal noch beides nutzen 😞


Can we please have a setting in the administrator panel to set the character limit for a Mastodon instance?

The current lack of such a setting does nothing apart from create a two-tier fediverse where folks who have the time to maintain their own Mastodon fork and folks who use other ActivityPub servers can write as much as they like whereas everyone else is limited to 500 characters. We’re not kids; make the option accessible and let instance owners decide for themselves.

I've asked for help with setting up a mastodon server before and gotten nothing.

Asking AGAIN. PLEASE

Its running and I can login with the admin account but its not getting anything from the fediverse, my other 3 accounts on different servers are not connecting. Please, someone help me.

#MastoAdmin #mastodonhelp #mastodon

https://beamship.mpaq.org is getting closer.

@admin is finely starting to get something.

At long last, beamship is LIVE!!! Thank you ALL. It was a DNS resolution error, was using our internal DNS 😭 so, THAT has a problem to... Next problem is the email system.

Update (10-27)
All is working up to the email confirmations. Still not sending messages to confirm new accounts and probably notifications.


If you like to torture youself, check out what people are babbling on Bluesky in real time about Mastodon: https://firesky.tv/?filter=mastodon

#Firesky #Bluesky #API #Mastodon #Gossip


Ah, okay, the app doesn't register itself...

Usually a #Mastodon app registers itself as an app on the instance and then obtain a token through a user login.

Then the question would be, does #Friendica allow to create manually an app and then an user token...

As i just set up a #Friendica instance last year for testing, i can't answer this from my mind...
