FediPact is now, unambiguously, an antifascist struggle.

To be sure, it's not the most most important front; not when we see, for example, the bureaucratic precursors to literal trans genocide. But it's not unimportant either.

There's been a lot of talk around here about the fediverse being a holdout and refuge in an age of fascist capture of capitalist social media. That can and should be true - but is actually not, so long as the Zuckerberg entity continues to be provided the power to manipulate the future of ActivityPub.

Don't assume that the current status quo will hold or that the threat is waning. Don't assume that Meta will not advance its fediverse integration beyond the current, bizarrely stunted joke of a bridge. Don't forget that they always unilaterally force the next step on us as a sudden surprise with no advance warning.

The page of the newspaper… Full article behind the link.


Research question for those of you who came to the #fediverse after mostly using mainstream #socialMedia like #youtube #instagram #facebook #tiktok #Twitter etc--

what was the final straw that finally got you to make an account here?

Did it take you a while to figure out how the fediverse works, or did you take to it right away?

Do you still use mainstream social media? How often do you post there vs here?

And finally, what is your level of tech expertise? Were/are you already a tech expert (programmer, web developer, "protocol user," whatever you want to call it)?


Anyone used #Friendica? My wife @redbunhead.bsky.social discovered it when I told her about #Pixelfed.

I left #Facebook ~8yr ago & then #twitter for #mastodon. She’s on #FB & #Instagram & is exploring #BlueSky. We both just joined #Substack.

We’re looking for good decentralized social networks that aren’t owned by billionaires. I miss the FB feel sometimes, so any info on Friendica is appreciated.

Wife would also appreciate tips on choosing a Pixelfed server.

Meta's #Facebook, #Instagram, and #Threads are down due to outages. However, #Fediverse instances of #Hubzilla, #Friendica, #Mastodon, #Misskey (family), #Pleroma (family), #Pixelfed, are up and running, with everyone in the #ActivityPub network continuing with our digital lives. ^_^

☣️ :facebook: Posted today: Video overview of massive moderation failure across all #Meta networks filled with criminal activity and abuse.

Yet somehow countless #MastoAdmin folks still think we need to "give them the benefit of the doubt" and "wait and see".

We have seen more than enough abuse to exclude them. For nearly two decades.

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.

#PixelFed question: I finally was able to upgrade to the version with the #Instagram import that I have been awaiting for several years! 🥳

Now I exported my Instagram archive in JSON format, fed it to Pixelfed, selected 100 posts to import, and now they show as a number of "Processing Imported Posts" that doesn't decrease.

Am I missing something? Is there another background task to run beside the horizon supervisor?

By the way, it’s possible that #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg’s fediverse play for Threads is related to sidestepping the anti-competitiveness/antitrust issues around the EU’s Digital Services Act.

“Hey, look, we’re not a monopoly. We’re not being anticompetitive… we’re federating using an open protocol. Here, let our friend Eugen, CEO of Mastodon, explain to you how it works in very dispassionate words…”

#eu #ec #fediverse #mastodon #antitrust #DigitalServicesAct #PR #usefulIdiots


Folks, the reason #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg hasn’t launched #Threads in the #EU isn’t because the EU is determined to protect your privacy, it’s because the EU is determined to protect The Single Market (peace be upon it) from anticompetitive behaviour. It’s because they’re using Instagram to launch Threads and sharing data between them (and not with EU startups that might want to use that data too). It’s #antitrust, not #privacy. It’s markets, not people.

#DigitalServicesAct


Looking forward for when #Meta will add #ActivityPub support to #Instagram #Threads

Logged on #Facebook with my partner's credentials to handle Marketplace orders (for my LEGO sets) while she's away at a work conference, then browsed to an Instagram reel for completely different reasons, and #Instagram shows me a banner prompting me to log in as my partner's account.

IT ISN'T THE SAME FUCKING WEBSITE! 🤬

I do understand #Google cross-login between apps because they're all under the same google.com domain, so cookies can work across apps, but between facebook.com and instagram.com? I hate it.



The entirety of my #Instagram contents (well, the segment I cared to preserve) is now up on #Pixelfed! The new import is amazing.

#Instagram blocked my account without mentioning why. I am not posting or commenting so it is not obvious to me why they blocked me. Maybe because I am not using the app and only a browser. However, to unlock my account I should send them my phone number and a selfi of me with my account name, my real name and a pin they sent me written on a paper which I should hold.
What the f***? This is crazy!
I have now told them to delete my account and I also deleted my #Facebook account.

for some reason #instagram has been warping all my attempts at posting like this for over a week. I reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, nothing... wtf.
my attempt at posting a photo of myself holding my son at the ER last night, but instagram is stretching it horizontally until it's unrecognizable.


People need to understand.

#Google isn't a search engine.
#Facebook isn't a journal to share with your friend.
#Instagram isn't a public photo album.
#Twitter isn't a micro-blogging website.

They are all advertisement companies.


Czy to już zaczęła się migracja z #Facebook-a i #Instagram-a?

Instancja mi spowolniła niemiłosiernie...

I love this article that not only clearly explains what #mastodon is, but also why it's so much better than ad-driven engagement-focused centralized media like #twitter, #facebook, #instagram, #youtube, etc etc etc. Check it out! https://escapingtech.com/tech/opinions/i-was-wrong-about-mastodon-moderation.html
A screenshot from the above linked article describing how handling abuse on mastodon differs from Twitter and other centralized media.


Today at my blog: In which in one fell swoop, I finally #delete my accounts at #Facebook, #Twitter, #Instagram, #Flickr, #500px, #Netflix and #Hulu, to instead embrace a #web3 #fediverse future at #Mastodon and @write_as. https://write.as/81zbo41t8vo4v132.md


Na, das könnte lustig werden:
