Blacksky went from a "custom feed that created a sense of shared space" to being the first independent ATProto microblogging community outside of Bluesky.

This is where the focus needs to be in the fediverse as well. Creating safe and welcoming communities that people want to be part of.

      I’m going to be participating in the Growing the Open Social Web workshop at Fediforum on March 3, 2026. I’m excited to talk to other people who care about the Fediverse about ways to connect more people through ActivityPub.

      Fediforum invited attendees to publish position papers before the workshop. SWF has a number of hypotheses about growth of the social web; I’ll try to summarise some of them here.

      • Growth can’t come at the expense of privacy. People currently on the Fediverse must have the tools they need to preserve their privacy as the network grows. This means privacy from other users, as well as privacy from new platform operators. Expanding the options for private interactions on the Fediverse, like end-to-end encrypted messages and private groups, is necessary for preserving privacy as the user base and platform list expands.
      • Connecting platforms to the Fediverse is our most efficient way to grow. There are already billions of people on social platforms across the Internet. Getting these platforms to let users publish to the Fediverse, as well as having two-way interactions with remote users, lets people share in the benefits of the Fediverse with a platform and interface that they’re already used to. Even when brand new social platforms adopt ActivityPub, they bring their new features and users.
      • Connecting communities helps us grow fast and stay cohesive. Bringing formal and informal communities onto the Fediverse is a great way to enable a lot of new users quickly. By formal communities, we mean organized groups like clubs, universities and schools, professional societies, enterprises, or local and regional governments. These groups can set up their own places on the Fediverse, like Mastodon servers, and provide user accounts for all their members. (One great way to connect formal communities is to Fediverse-enable the community platforms they already use.) These new Fediverse users have the kind of connections in place that retain active users, as well as the support they need to use the Fediverse. More informal communities, like people sharing the same profession, fans of a particular hobby, or users of a language or technology, can be great additions to the Fediverse, but these groups are less cohesive and less likely to bring their own infrastructure.
      • People come to social networks for existing social ties. Bringing on new users one-by-one is the most difficult way to grow this network. The best way to engage new users on the network, and to keep them active and interested, is to make sure they can connect to people they already know and care about. That may be friends, family, colleagues and neighbours, or brands, creators, and publications they recognise. Our onboarding processes for Fediverse users need to encourage the social contacts so that people feel a reason to stick around for day 2, 7, and 30.

      We’re looking forward to engaging with the Fediforum community on these and other topics. We’ll see you on March 3!

      In previous years, I published two "fediverse tech roadmap" posts:

      - Fediverse tech roadmap 2024
      - Fediverse tech roadmap 2025

      However, I didn't publish such post this year because not much has happened in 2025. Many problems I talked about require complex solutions, but unfortunately proposed solutions are often very limited or lead to centralization. Or worse, there is no solution but only an imitation of work. I don't want to write about that.

      I saw a thread today where ATProto ecosystem was compared to #ActivityPub. Things are happening in the Atmosphere, but not in Fediverse. MAU graphs are flat. What's going on?

      There are multiple factors at play, but I think fake activity may be the biggest contributor. Trivial developments presented as breakthroughs. Features that already exist somewhere in Fediverse presented as new inventions. Vaporware. Specs written by people who have no idea how to implement them. Working groups that do nothing but meetings.

      Real work is ignored, competent developers see that and quit.

      We need to fix this.

      For my part, I will continue to document #Fediverse development at @weekinfediverse. But this newsletter doesn't have much impact.

                  The Algorithmic Cage: Why Your "Choices" Aren't Yours Anymore 🧠

                  Have you noticed how the modern web has slowly turned from a tool of discovery into a digital feed-lot?

                  We’ve become "Engagement Zombies." Most people don't browse the internet anymore; they just consume the output of a black-box algorithm designed by a corporation to maximize ad revenue.

                  The Cycle of Degradation:

                  1. Critical Thinking is Bypassed: Algorithms don't show you what’s true or useful; they show you what triggers a reaction. We've traded deep focus for a dopamine-driven scroll.
                  2. Data Commodification: Your behavior, your metadata, and even your "private" preferences are harvested, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder. You aren't the customer; you are the product being refined in real-time.
                  3. Reactive Consumption: People buy what the feed shows them and believe what the feed tells them. It’s a closed feedback loop where the user is just a biological component of a profit machine.

                  Why I’m here (and why I use my own stack):
                  Shifting to Self-Hosted services and moving my mobile environment to GrapheneOS is more than just a technical preference. It’s a deliberate decoupling from the surveillance capitalist machine. By using decentralized networks like Misskey, I’m practicing intellectual self-defense — deciding exactly what enters my cognitive space.

                  It’s about reclaiming "root access" over my own attention. I want my feed to be a result of my choices, not a calculation made by a billionaire’s AI.

                  Let’s be real: Are we still the masters of our tools, or have the tools started training us?

                  I want to hear from you:

                  - When was the last time you found something truly interesting without an algorithm suggesting it to you?
                  - Do you feel like you're in control of your digital life, or are you just "along for the ride"?
                  - Does the idea of "leaving the grid" (Big Tech) feel like freedom or like losing a limb?

                            After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

                            MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

                            It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

                            What makes it different:
                            • snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
                            • Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
                            • EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
                            • Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
                            • Markdown posting for snac
                            • Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
                            • Blocking and moderation tools
                            • Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

                            Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

                            It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

                            Important note:
                            MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

                            The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

                            testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa

What AV equipment would you require? Will this be hybrid?

                                      Alt... Hi Charles, Thank you for filling out the request form and for your interest in booking with us at SFU Vancouver! Are you able to tell us a little bit more about this event? Is this a presentation? Will there be panel discussion? What type of seating/room set up do you require? What AV equipment would you require? Will this be hybrid?

                                        Hi, we are new on , looking for some network off the well known corporate social networks. We are tired of their bullshit algorithms, ads and owners.

                                        Give us a helping hand to start here. Follow us (and maybe share our profile), we follow back. Thank you!

A softly textured hot air balloon drifts through a sky of layered clouds, painted in calming blues, warm neutrals, and gentle earth tones. The brushwork creates a dreamy, painterly effect while the balanced colors give it a refined, wall-ready feel-perfect for spaces that call for lightness, movement, and a touch of quiet beauty.

                                                                                                If you run `fedify nodeinfo mastodon.social -b` you get a cute little ascii art representation of the instance's logo.

                                                                                                Happy to see a bit of fun mixed into these fedi tools!

I specialise in front end theming and site building, however can also turn my hand to custom functionality and modules.

                                                                                                    If you'd like a conversation to see if my skillset fits, I'm all ears.

                                                                                                              It all works great, but - each time it fully discharges I need to press ON button.

                                                                                                              I want to bypass it with a mosfet - connect gate to battery pack output and wire drain and source to button pins.

                                                                                                                        This works perfectly for Mastodon v4.3.0+ and @Coolify users! 🛠️

                                                                                                                        Instead of rebuilding the image, we use Docker Volume Mounts to overlay two specific files and set Environment Variables.

                                                                                                                        1️⃣ Backend: Create a local copy of status_length_validator.rb with MAX_CHARS = 7500.

                                                                                                                          We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.

                                                                                                                          If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.

Once it's approved, I'll share the link with a few people for testing and gradually expand the beta as we go.

                                                                                                                              The goal is to provide a public beta to the entire Fediverse before the official release, so everyone can try it out. I've already been using it as my primary app for several days and, aside from a few bugs I still need to fix, it’s working well.

                                                                                                                              Stay tuned!

                                                                                                                                    Politisch, ganz klar ja.

                                                                                                                                    Doch auf LinkedIn macht man ja in gewisser Weise PR oder auch Werbung für sich und sie war sich nicht sicher, ob das im überhaupt erwünscht ist.

                                                                                                                                    Wie sehr ihr das?

But one of the things I've heard puts newbies off alternative social apps/ networks is too much meta-discussion about development and deployment of the apps/ networks themselves.

                                                                                                                                                    Maybe we could agree on a standard way of tagging this stuff (eg )? Then the DevMeta tag could be filtered out by default for newbies.

                                                                                                                                                                              The wind line is back in focus, clearly highlighted for current conditions, and gusts are shown separately using 💨 emoji so they are easy to spot and not confused with average wind.

                                                                                                                                                                              Everything is fully localised. Labels like “feels like”, section titles, and weather descriptions are consistent across languages, and all weather conditions are now covered everywhere.

                                                                                                                                                                              In short: same FediMeteo you are used to, but with more context, clearer signals, and fewer surprises.

                                                                                                                                                                              These changes will start appearing with the next forecast update.
