Hey #fediverse #developers

I am happy to bring this update for my pet project #GitRaven. It's a Git management tool built in C++ and Qt as a learning experience.

Give it a read and let me know how you like it?

Mel, the person who announced the death of Kit, turns out to have lied about Kit. Kit is not real. Please note the following is only important as context to how disgusting the Trello manager (shown here) Which is nyz and some team members acted towards it. (not showed)

Please DO NOT harass Mel, they are a 13 year old child and do not deserve to be harassed or doxxed. They can still learn and grow from this situation. While I agree that they should be held accountable for this, nobody on the internet knows the difference between holding someone accountable and harassing people anymore.

This does NOT justify how the moderation team reacted. They were under the assumption that somebody actually died and had the audacity to JOKE about it.

We all were tricked about the death of Kit. I want to apologize also for posting this without knowing

RE: https://alvarado.social/@dave/116258216662629959

This is a systemic flaw in #Mastodon for which #Fediverse developers must provide a fix.

One step to fix it: the writer of the original post should be have the option to make replies to their own post as visible as the OP itself, individually in bulk, overriding the preferences of those who reply. Another step to fix: harassed users should be able to share synced block lists of harassers and harassment-permitting servers.

Other ideas?

Question: what are the most obvious signs of fake/spam accounts? Not the friendly forest creatures who mean no harm and prefer to participate safely from afar. But the ones that are up to no good?

I spent years thinking shared lunches were a struggle for everyone.
I assumed we all just suffered through them out of politeness.

Realizing that most people actually enjoy this (that it even recharges them) hit me like a total system crash. For me, social interaction is a crisis.

I feel like a tiny person locked inside my head, desperately trying to pilot a "meat robot" that is in emergency mode, scanning for the nearest exit to save my sanity.

It is a strange feeling when you realize your "normal" was actually a high-alert survival protocol. My battery just leaks in public. I mean, even talking with a colleague 1-on-1.

And it's not a "social battery", it's the main and only one I have.

I am starting to think that Bluesky is not giving up on the AI site that they started putting their time into it and not fixing the platform.

There is alot of spam accounts that pretending to be Government accounts from USA 🇺🇸 and some are Indian scammers roaming around Bluesky with no single ban or a legal action

I lost the hope of getting a platform that prioritize users and their wellbeing over websites. Although some thinks what Bluesky is doing is great 👍🏻

#mastodon #fediverse #poem

People figuring out how to be social. Realizing that cliques and group behaviors are very real. Also that group-think and censorship to enforce it also happen... because we are people and social power is a real form of power.

The best way to combat this is to encourage individuals and small groups to host their own social media.

Most of the "big" Mastodon servers won't see my posts because they block most of the independent #fediverse servers... but there are still ways I can build an audience and express what I want to.

I think that a lot of the social interaction has retreated to private groups that are not visible from the outside. Hard to gauge this though... because I can't see it if I am not part of those groups.

Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber? This post from @carnage4life has me questioning our community. The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction, the product improvements are increasing, The #UX is improving, yet people posting on multiple platforms are making comments like this. It's confusing.

I *know* people here don't want this to be a classic social media-clone but we'd *like* journalists to be here right? They aren't coming with examples like this!

Indefinite Haitus from Bluesky

I’m gonna be real about this, I’m stepping away from Bluesky for a while.

This wasn’t some quick decision. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and honestly, the direction they’re going with AI just doesn’t sit right with me. Letting AI create custom feeds in ways that can get around privacy… that’s a big deal. It makes me uncomfortable, and it feels like something that should’ve been handled way more carefully.

I care a lot about privacy and trust, and right now it feels like those things aren’t being respected the way they should be. It’s not just “oh it’s a new feature”, it actually affects how safe people feel on the platform.

So yeah, I’m taking a break. And I’m not planning to come back unless Bluesky actually acknowledges what they’ve done, apologizes to users, and shows they’re willing to fix it. Right now, it just feels like people’s concerns are being brushed off.

I’ve also been talking to some artists I know, and they’re genuinely upset about this too. A lot of them feel like AI stuff keeps getting pushed without thinking about how it impacts real creators. I feel the same way. I’m very much anti-AI when it comes to things like this, and it’s frustrating to watch it keep happening.

For now, I just need space from it.

There's "communities" for nearly everything on the #Fediverse. It is a strange misconception that a server software like Mastodon was something like a centralized #server #instance that was required to "allow" for anything, or could "prohibit" it, for everybody.

On the Fediverse, your server instance can allow or prohibit anything, just like any other instance. When your topic is hated on most other instances, there might be good reasons for that, though.

Still you can even run your very own instance fully dedicated to ShittyTopic™. It's just that nobody is obliged to listen to you, or to say friendly things about it, or to never block your instance.

Tagline at the bottom reads: "Northern California's only TWO-DAY event dedicated exclusively to OEMs and sophisticated end users."

When someone asks me what the #Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

#UNIX

Alt...

Illustration showing multiple beige desktop computers floating among clouds in an open sky, connected to each other by thin golden lines forming a network, with one large computer in the foreground emitting a burst of colorful rainbow light rays from its screen.

This is how I toot.

(Amiga World magazine, March 1988)

#Mastodon #Fediverse

Alt...

A soft-toned editorial illustration showing a person standing in a dark room beside a desk with a vintage PC and keyboard, shouting into the space through a megaphone filled with scattered 3.5-inch floppy disks floating like stars in a night sky.

When my posts federate between #Mastodon servers on the #fediverse.

UNIX Review, May 1985.

#UNIX

Alt...

Two silhouetted businessmen with computer monitors for heads shaking hands against a layered pink and purple geometric backdrop, briefcases at their sides.

How #BlueSky users describe what using #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is like.

UNIX World, Sept. 1985.

#UNIX #RetroComputing

Alt...

A vintage print advertisement for Celerity Computing's C1200 workstation, headlined "Tomorrow's Engineering Tool — Today." Features photos of the beige computer system with a color monitor displaying a 3D CAD rendering of a satellite dish, alongside a person using the keyboard. Body copy touts UNIX 4.2 BSD, 32-bit architecture, and 2.3 million Whetstones/second performance. Contact information for offices in San Diego, Framingham, Houston, Farmington Hills, Woodland Hills, and Santa Clara.

So for the back of the room:

Defederation is a freedom of association in safety thing.

Moderation is also a freedom of association in safety thing.

Not a freedom of speech thing.

Both Human Rights do need to be considered together.

They are articles nineteen and twenty on the #UDHR

I wish more of us in Tech designed our systems with this in mind.

Erster Post -- endlich.

Ich bin Andi, Geschäftsführer von ACNTCP aus Mannheim. Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz -- das ist mein Alltag.

Warum eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz? Ehrlich gesagt: weil ich's kann und weil ich's wollte. Das reicht mir als Begründung.

Die Instanz ist geschlossen, keine öffentliche Registrierung. Ich möchte die Kontrolle behalten wer dort aktiv ist. Wer Interesse hat, kann mich direkt ansprechen.

Dieses Konto wird halb beruflich, halb persönlich sein. NIS2, ISO 27001, Datenschutz -- aber auch was mich sonst noch beschäftigt. Ich bin kein Fan von Unternehmensaccounts die sich anfühlen wie automatisierte Pressemitteilungen.

Freue mich auf den Austausch hier.

RE: https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352522288234148

This post sparked a lot of discussion and some of the more thoughtful responses pointed out that social media is often used get engagement without entering a dialog and that mastodon does not foster that.
I wonder if there is any data analysis of this, e.g. calculating a gini score of follower counts of a bluesky sample vs. a mastodon.social sample?

Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber? This post from @carnage4life has me questioning our community. The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction, the product improvements are increasing, The #UX is improving, yet people posting on multiple platforms are making comments like this. It's confusing.

I *know* people here don't want this to be a classic social media-clone but we'd *like* journalists to be here right? They aren't coming with examples like this!

Wir zahlen höhere Preise für #Mobilität, Lebensmittel und noch viel mehr (einige 10 - einige 100 €/Person/Monat). Erhebliche Kosten entstehen der Gesellschaft durch den #Klimawandel, den die US-Administration krass verschärft (Mrd €/Jahr). Viele Menschen in den #USA haben ihre Jobs verloren, viele Menschen in #Nahost sogar ihr Leben.

Ist die Neuordnung der sozialen Medien nicht eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben, der wir uns zuwenden müssen?

Viele Leute im #Fediverse sehen das sicher auch so.
Aber wie kriegen wir den Punkt in die Köpfe der politischen Entscheider?

There are valid reasons why AI companies and tech bros are not welcome here, as well as people who are defending them or trying to rationalize the use of bourgeois technology that is unethical, causing the rapid issues of AI vandals running rampant, AI bots that scraps data to be trained without permission, use of AI by companies to do mass layoff and therefore the higher count of unemployment, AI "artist" that clutter streaming platforms, and more problems.

As this conversation is spiraling a bit I want to make a few things clear:
1. I'd like Mastodon to be MORE inclusive and bring in more voices
2. Some people don't seem to want that
3. This is core problem to solve: How do we let more in, but not "pollute" your feed?
4. The solution is NOT "gatekeeping", revelling in the fact that AI journalists aren't welcome
5. This is the same reason we lost "Black Twitter" when it came over in 2022

Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining Mastodon, any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.

EDIT: Thread where this occurred: https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/116306052774186536

Fedi friend of mine @kkarhan@infosec.space got his account suspended because the admin of that instance is an absolute jackass, gave him 7 days to move instances before he suspended him for no reason.

Please, go show him support and follow his new account at @kkarhan@jorts.horse, he's an awesome guy to follow!!

(Also, this should be obvious but do not harass the admin of the infosec instance.)

Here's something really useful I've found.

One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.

But.

If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.

This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.

Here's the solution.

First, follow @_followback

It will follow you back.

And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.

So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.

Here's where the magic happens.

The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.

So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.

And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.

And it works for all hashtags.

Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub

So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.

Or @news follows all posts using #news

Been messing with #surf all weekend. I think the @theverge did a great job of describing what it’s all about / how it fits into the wider social web product space on the #Vergecast .

My biggest issue is knowing where a post has come from. I don’t know if I’m “liking” a Bluesky item, or a Mastodon one, and so on.

Maybe I shouldn’t care?

Heute vor 8 Jahren erschien Lance Ulanoffs Artikel »Six Reasons Mastodon Won't Survive« bei Mashable. Sein stärkstes Argument: William Shatner konnte ihn auf der Plattform nicht finden.

Mastodon läuft noch. Mashable nicht mehr so wirklich.

Was Ulanoff damals wie viele andere nicht verstanden hat: Mastodon wollte nie Twitter sein. Kein Investor, kein Monetarisierungszwang, keine zentrale Kontrolle – das waren keine Schwächen, sondern gewollt.

Acht Jahre später schreibt er bei TechRadar Microsoft-Lobbyismus und KI-Hype. Konsistent immerhin. 😂

@BlumeEvolution

Vor Jahren las ich eine Interpretation des Liebenshymnus von Paulus (1. Kor 13). In dem Hymnus heißt es:

"Die Liebe ist langmütig, / die Liebe ist gütig. / Sie ereifert sich nicht, / sie prahlt nicht, / sie bläht sich nicht auf.

Sie handelt nicht ungehörig, / sucht nicht ihren Vorteil, / lässt sich nicht zum Zorn reizen, / trägt das Böse nicht nach.

Sie freut sich nicht über das Unrecht, / sondern freut sich an der Wahrheit.

Sie erträgt alles, / glaubt alles, / hofft alles, / hält allem stand."

Und auch als Agnostiker las ich beides mit Gewinn. Steckt doch in dem Hymnus die Quintessenz eines gedeihlichen Miteinanders, einerlei ob hier im Fediverse oder jenseits dessen.

Sie, lieber Herr Blume, schreiben an anderer Stelle über den Begriff Thymos. Er findet sich, wem sage ich das, gleich hier zu Beginn: Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ

μακροθυμεῖ, verstanden als langmütig, als 'langsam zum Zorn'. Anzuerkennen, dass der andere genauso ein Recht hat auf dieser Erde zu leben, gemeinsam mit mir genauso wie sie oder er ist,

Das ist auch in heutiger Zeit reichlich naiv, ich weiß, aber ich denke es ist nicht das Schlechteste, sich von Zeit zu Zeit hieran zu erinnern.

I don't want the #Fediverse to grow because I see "growth" as an intrinsic good.

I want the Fediverse to grow because I see commercial social media as a major threat to the long-term survival of human civilization. Thus, we need to replace it - and right now, the Fediverse seems to be the best alternative we have.

A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - “what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??” and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn’t go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.

I look forward to seeing someone’s screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.
