We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum

Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.

It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.

The fediverse has arrived at WordPress.com.

^{Matthias Pfefferle (WordPress.com News)}

Many people here (including myself) use the #Fediverse to relax, tune out or for other specific interests. I spend a considerable amount with activism and therefore dealing with the shitty world we live in. When I come here I want to decide do (not) do that.

Please use CWs.

If you want to take a look at the code, it's up on GitHub now. But this isn't the MVP, it's not ready to use yet. Maybe in a week? At least that's what I'm hoping.

The MVP should be a fully-functional local forum but won't support federation yet, that's the next step. Luckily Lemmy's federation approach is much simpler than Mastodon's.

Cory Doctorow has some interesting takes on why using a copy left license and the Fediverse at the end of his DEF Con 31 talk. But you don't have to scroll to the end, the rest of the talk is nice to listen to as well 😉

I'd like to interject for a moment.

What you're referring to as #Mastodon is in fact the #Fediverse. You see, Mastodon is just one of many possible software projects that interact with the wider Fediverse through a protocol called #ActivityPub. There are many other projects you can use, Mastodon isn't the only one, nor was it the first. Pretending it is either of those things is doing a huge disservice to all the people who made the Fediverse what it is. Originally, the protocol in use was OStatus and GNU Social was one of the first convenient instances - Mastodon came much later and ended up doing a huge disservice to the Fediverse by intentionally removing support for OStatus abruptly even though the warriors of GNU noted ActivityPub would be implemented within 3-4 months. Thus, the warriors of GNU were not amused by the intentional segregation of the network and the GNU+Jihad on the Fediverse was born - the warriors are interjecting to this day, despite how many people call it "Mastodon" by mistake.

The GitHub repo for PeerTuber, the upcoming opensource mobile app for #PeerTube is now live. There's still a bit of housekeeping to do, but this is where you'll find the project: https://github.com/PeerTuber/PeerTuber

Neben Mastodon bietet das Fediverse noch viele Dienste; in dieser Serie sollen diese ihre verdiente Aufmerksamkeit bekommen.

Good morning dear Fediverse from Cologne 🌞 where @Free Software Foundation Europe the @LpB NRW and the Volkshochschule Cologne have organized a symposium about "The world after Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. A new generation of the internet?"

Run Linux, post on the fediverse, and care about accessibility?

You need Frog.

https://github.com/TenderOwl/Frog#readme

Frog extracts text from images.

Use it to copy and paste the text in images into your image descriptions and help make the fediverse more inclusive.

Imagine if every university had its own #fediverse server. So for example faculty at a uni in Aotearoa could be @name@staff.uni.ac.nz. This could even be integrated with the uni's institutional repository, so that every time a researcher adds an article to it, a post is automatically added to their account with the title, abstract and link for the article. Could be integrated into the official blogs a uni often provides to faculty and postgrads too.

A co ta wtyczka AP do WP oznacza dla #Fediwersum?

Większość stron blogów, portali, organizacji i urzędów w Polsce działa na #WordPress. Po wdrożeniu i adaptacji pojawi się bardzo wiele nowych profili we własnych domenach, bo #WordPress to taka mała instancja serwera #fediverse.

Wtyczkę jakiś czas przejęła Automattic, wydawca wordpressa i podeszła do tematu poważnie.

Czy to koniec dominacji FB w infosferze PL?

Zobaczymy. Trzymam kciuki 👍

P.S. Uruchamiamy pokój do dyskusji o wdrożeniach, konfiguracji, dobrych praktykach adaptacji #ActivityPub w #Wordpress. Na #Matrix #PolSocial. Zaanonsuję osobno 😀

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format.

I wanted to give a shoutout to @gabboman@app.wafrn.net for introducing me to this awesome new #Fediverse platform called #Wafrn. I had no idea it existed until now!

From what I've seen, it's like a Tumblr-like service where you can easily share and curate different types of media. I must say, they've done a great job in terms of user-friendliness.

If you're curious, I've attached some screenshots for you to check out. And hey, feel free to explore Wafrn for yourself at this link: https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/exploreLocal.

There's a social reading platform called @bookwyrm which is an alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. BookWyrm is part of the Fediverse, and BookWyrm accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc. You can find out more at:

➡️ https://joinbookwyrm.com

They are currently trying to get BookWyrm translated into more languages, so that more readers can use it. If you speak a language other than English, you can help translate at:

Review time again! Here's a concise look at the third party app Fedilab:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/fedilab-for-android

You can use it with Mastodon accounts (including forks like Glitch), PeerTube accounts, Pixelfed accounts and many other types of Fediverse account.

It's got a really nice array of options if you dig down into the settings menus, it does a lot of things that the official apps don't do. I've tried to summarise the good stuff in the review.

I believe people on the #Fediverse are more likely to add alternative text to the images they post than on any other popular social media platform, that's great for #Accessibility. But it isn't the end-all-be-all of it. For example, when one of my contacts posts in German or Finnish or Farsi, I can copy the text and plug it in a translator to figure out what they meant.

However, when they share a picture including text in the same language, even if they transcribed the text in the picture in the alternative text attribute, I can't access it on mobile at all, and even on desktop I can't copy it from the default popup on mouse hover.

I tried to dabble with #CSS to reveal the alt-text attribute value using pseudo-content, but it doesn't work since we're dealing with an #HTML <img> which is an empty element by definition. Is there any other way to expose this attribute value other than just parse the text in the post body directly?

Following someone on the Fediverse is broken — the user-experience (UX) is not good.

Especially if the person you want to follow is on a server different from yours.

Sure it technically works, BUT in practice it is broken —

I have done user testing with people who have used other social-media, but who have never used the Fediverse

Virtually all of them fail at following someone on a remote server

THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO COLLECTIVELY FIX.

I'll explain —

On 26th of August, 2023, we presented TROM at the annual ZDay event in Prague. This was the last ZDay after a decade long of making them every year.

Our presentation was focused on showcasing in a unique way how our society works and how trade is at the core of most of our issues. In the second half we focused on the positive side: how we and others create trade-free good and services and why this can become a tsunami movement if more of us engage into it, in a decentralized way.

We put a lot of effort into creating a simple narrative and interesting slides with animations, to make it all more fun and easy to understand.

This was the first presentation for Tio and we hope more to follow.
