This is fantastic work! ๐Ÿ‘€ Very inspiring ๐Ÿ˜
We are lucky to have you in the #Fediverse.


Time for an #introduction

Magpie Market is a federated platform aiming to be an alternative to #etsy; leveraging the Fediverse to help #artists, craftspeople, and others promote and sell their goods and services. We believe the #fediverse deserves a marketplace built with federation in mind.


Character study of the GoToSocial sloth, a future new member, when I'll be drawing the group of mascots of the Fediverse.

A digital sheet of concept with four time the same character: a tiny cute sloth. First post is happy with a little heart nearby their head. A pose expresses surprise. Another full body pose shows the sloth in a three, curious. Last pose is about the sloth eating leaves and being happy excited about it.


Content warning: Fediverse Meta


I think it's possible for different well-intentioned folk to come to different conclusions about the #BBC, harm done to the #trans community by their coverage over the years, our hopes for the future of the #fediverse, etc.

But while forming opinions, maybe seek out writing by ACTUAL trans thinkers and journalists. Not just the quick reactions of cis social media admins who've never had to grapple with any of it.

Speaking of, that's something BBC itself is historically quite bad at.


Really love how cis ppl who've never been impacted by or cared about #BBC's years of overtly anti-#trans coverage are suddenly experts on what is/isn't transphobia.

I have nuanced views about the value of pre-emptive blocks and the vital importance of creating space for news organizations.

But I'm really disappointed with a number of #fediverse thought leaders whose stance to our legit pain seems to be dismissal and mockery of folks most directly harmed by their coverage.

Ich wรผrde ja gerne einen #Friendica node aufsetzen und ein feines, reduziertes Interface dafรผr basteln. Aber das ganze theming aus Smarty Templates und JS-Gefuddel รผberfordert mich.

ร„hnlich sieht es bei #Hubzilla aus. Und andere #Fediverse Plattformen kommen nicht in Frage, weil ich zu wenig Admin-Knowhow fรผr Non-LAMP habe.

@Mastodon Migration @Electronic Frontier Foundation Yes we need to take this seriously, but not in the way that big-korpo would like to push on us - that is, connecting to their API , which will scan all our images.
Since such APIs for scanning #CSAM will never be open and free (so that criminals can not "test" materials before publication) then the only option is a decent #moderation #fediverse. But decent means actually manually reviewing all photo/video material published on the servers. And this, in turn, indicates that instances should be no more than real moderation capabilities. Such manual moderation does not seem realistic on instances with tens-hundreds of thousands of accounts.


This is a massive problem, and the main reason I haven't tried to self host a #Fediverse instance on my own again.

The first question I ask is "how do I keep #CSAM off the instance" and nobody can answer that question.

Disappointed really. I thought Threads was going to bring some innovation to the #fediverse and force projects to re-think everything they were doing. But no, it's just another lame text/plain Twitter clone. It's making me question everything I know about Darwin when it's the defective-by-design projects that survive and thrive - and the strong and capable are pushed to ever smaller and darker corners of the fediverse.

Anyone who says the #Fediverse is a failure probably just isn't gay enough โ€‹:blobcat_spinrainbow:โ€‹


@morgan Just from a resource consumption, it would be more efficient to have the entirety of the #Fediverse in just one big instance. Inter-instance communication is a huge overhead that I expect represent the bulk of the power consumption.

As such power consumption isn't a meaningful metric for decentralized social media instances.


Anyone running a tiny fediverse instance? What software are you using and how much does it cost you?

I am running Pleroma and it costs me about 20 Euros(about 23USD) per month.

Jetzt kommen endlich auch GrรผรŸe von mir vom #Fedicamp!

Es ist einfach unbeschreiblich schรถn hier und ich freue mich sehr, viele der lieb gewonnen Leute vom letzten Jahr wieder zu entdecken, bisherige Onlinebekanntschaften aus dem #Fediverse endlich herzlich umarmen zu kรถnnen und ganz neue Leute kennen zu lernen. Und jeden Tag kommen mehr tolle Menschen dazu!

Danke euch allen, die hier rumwerkeln und helfen. Ein Haufen cooler Freaks, ich liebe es!

P.S.: Und schaut euch meinen idyllischen Schlafplatz im Grรผnen an โค Das ist doch der pure Luxus ๐Ÿ˜
Ich hocke vor meinem grรผnen Zelt und grinse in die Kamera.


Oh, der #ORF meldet sich diesbezรผglich zu Wortโ€ฆ bisher haben die ja das #Fediverse getrost ignoriert, da brauchte es erst #Meta dazu. Nicht falsch verstehen, inhaltlich finde ich den Artikel gut, aber das ist jetzt abgesehen von @radioFM4 das erste Mal, dass ich vom ORF etwas zum Thema Fediverse mitbekomme, und dort ist auch seit ยฝ Jahr Funkstille. Wรคhrenddessen betreibt der deutsche ร–R bereits erfolgreich eigene Instanzen.


Was meint ihr dazu? ๐Ÿ˜Ž :blobdevil:

I love that Mastodon has that thing where someone interacts with you, then you check them out, find out they're cool, follow them, and check out their boosts and find out they follow cool people so now you follow those other cool people as well and now you follow a whole bunch more cool people.

If you're into books and reading, you might want to sign up for an account on BookWyrm, the Fediverse's alternative to Amazon's Goodreads:

Just like Mastodon, BookWyrm is on many different servers that talk to each other. Find a server to join at:

Because it's part of the Fediverse, accounts on BookWyrm can be followed from Mastodon etc.

You can follow the BookWyrm developers at @bookwyrm

Time to ask other writers to join the #fediverse through @pixelfed or #mastodon so that they could leave Instagram sometime in the near future... ๐Ÿ˜€


I wish more people would fight for #Podcasting the same way people are fighting for the #Fediverse.

#Meta, #Tumblr, et al, are saying that they're joining the Fediverse (I'll believe it when I see it) and everyone is trying to figure out how best to deal with that.

Meanwhile, #Spotify and #YouTube have already #EEE #Podcasts by adding music podcasts that don't sync to #RSS feeds and not providing #VideoPodcasts with RSS feeds at all. No one is batting an eyelash about that!

#rant


I just want to say for my first post to the #Fediverse that I've already seen more #alttext in the last couple of days than I've literally seen in my entire life. I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content. Think I'll write an introduction soon.

By the way, itโ€™s possible that #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerbergโ€™s fediverse play for Threads is related to sidestepping the anti-competitiveness/antitrust issues around the EUโ€™s Digital Services Act.

โ€œHey, look, weโ€™re not a monopoly. Weโ€™re not being anticompetitiveโ€ฆ weโ€™re federating using an open protocol. Here, let our friend Eugen, CEO of Mastodon, explain to you how it works in very dispassionate wordsโ€ฆโ€

Distrust of non-commercial projects.

Appears #BigJournalism does not treat non-commercial projects as legitimate.

Examples of projects which are discounted include the #Fediverse, #Wikipedia, #Wikidata, #MusicBrainz, & the #Greens.

Whereas #Facebook's #AssociationWithGenocide, Twitter allowing white supremecy, anti-vacc and Q-Anon to spread their poison, and similar on YT and TikTok etc, get treated as if that is just the acceptable cost of doing business . Cause they're "legitimate".


I'm of the opinion that #threads should not be engaged with in any way.

Not because I think it's a threat to the #fediverse, although it could potentially be.
Not because I think it will bring a huge amount of bad actors that will harass users on other instances, although that is definitely a risk.

My reason is simpler; #Facebook has done so much evil, society eroding shit, that I don't work with them on principle.

And Facebook knows that as well, which is why threads is instagram branded.


Wow David, you are truly capturing the essence of the problem ๐Ÿ˜†
