Good Morning #fediverse #tzag #TFIF time for some black magic

Hello #fediverse, this is Lucas, a polite, gentle, /and super sweet 9-year-old #dog looking for a forever home. He loves blankets, especially during the past weeks of cold weather.
This #ValentinesDay you can meet him at a special #adoption event at #NYC #ASPCA.

For more info: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/3bdf3ec8-213b-4566-bf2b-a67c45e5d785?tracking=e7807ba5-a0da-40e3-8dce-9b60b4fb70a6

There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.

The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.

This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.

I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.

I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.

This is not how we act in the Fediverse.

In the Fediverse we respect one another.
Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
Just do not take away my attribution.

I played around with it, made my own little test plugin for blogging used:

I can +1 agree that the plugin system is very nice and powerful - just wish I was better with Angular! I'm going to have to learn more :P

Mastodon Bash Sitemap Generator is now live.

I built this lightweight tool to solve SEO indexing issues without the heavy overhead of standard Ruby tasks. It uses direct PostgreSQL queries via Bash, making it extremely fast and ideal for Docker or Coolify environments.

Frage an euch:
Wie ist eigentlich euer Verhältnis als #Mastodon Nutzer zur #Fediverse-Plattform #Pixelfed?

Nutzt ihr das auch?
Mit eigenem Account auf einer Instanz dort, oder folgt ihr den Leuten von eurem Mastodon-Account aus?
Nutzt ihr die Website oder einen speziellen Client/App?
Seht ihr oft Nutzer, die Stories dort posten?
Habt ihr trotzdem noch einen #Instagram Account?

Ich bin Hobbyfotograf und am Überlegen, welche Plattformen ich in der Zukunft wie zur Verbreitung nutzen will.

I support Mastodon not because it's perfect, but because it has the right to exist. The Fediverse represents something we almost lost: the idea that social networking can be a protocol, not a product.

We've been conditioned to think that "social media" means a single company's timeline, moderated by their trust and safety team, monetized by their ad algorithms. Mastodon breaks that paradigm. It's messy, it's fragmented, it's harder to search—but it's ours.

Ich nutze sehr gerne für Mastodon die Browser-Deck-Ansicht.
Da vermisse ich jedoch die Möglichkeit mir Beiträge übersetzen zu lassen.
Schade ist auch, dass ich in den Einstellungen keine Möglichkeit finde, dass ich mir die Ansicht individuell einstellen kann - in Schriftgröße und Farben.

Hat da jemand eine Lösung oder vielleicht sogar eine Alternative?

I’ve seen blanket statements like “healthy” and “safe” used to describe #Mastodon #Fediverse healthy for whom? Safe for whom? There’s plenty of folks that would state how it was either for them or people they know.

I’d like to know how especially for youth is this space healthy and or safe. I do ask that there’s thought put in before replying .

Mastodon needs a feature that when you hover your mouse over someone's name or profile picture, it shows a small card of their profile with like, a larger picture, maybe a clip of their banner, and a clip of the first 3 sentences of their profile info, or something.

Thanks @grindhold and others for creating it ❤️

I have created one to play with for the #Derby (UK) and nearby areas.

If anyone wants an account, feel free to join at https://flohmarkt.gogreenit.net and read the rules :)

I need to add some other servers so you can see more items for sale, as I've only put 1 item of my own on there as of now.

The MetaZone Trap 🚩

Stop investing time in Meta/X. Your attention is capital, but the ROI only goes to them. While Google/MS act as utilities, Zuckerberg is building a "MetaZone"—a digital feudal system where you are a tenant farmer on rented land.

With supply chains in flux, Meta wants to be your only marketplace. Don't build on quicksand. Move your "capital" to Mastodon/Substack.

"A conceptual illustration titled 'The MetaZone Trap.' On the left, a cold, grey futuristic city (Meta) is enclosed by high walls and surveillance tech, overseen by a giant puppet-master figure of Mark Zuckerberg. People are trapped on small, isolated floating platforms in a digital moat. On the right, a bright, open green landscape represents the 'Fediverse,' featuring peaceful villages with flags labeled 'Mastodon' and 'Substack.' A river labeled 'Digital Aorta' flows from the open side, contrasting with the stagnant, wall-bound city of Meta."

Would be cool to host a Mastodon instance totally on solar energy. A bit like what https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ or https://solarprotocol.net/ does but instead of a static website, a horizontally scaled Mastodon instance.

Is threads fully part of the fediverse or are they still walled off and things like replies and boosts don't work? There's a few threads accounts I follow here that never seem to have any interaction.

Is @Flipboard better? They have a lot of media sources including some that are also on threads and they look like an actual mastodon server as opposed to whatever threads is and I'm guessing they're not owned by Meta. But the accounts there have far fewer followers.

We are committed to growing the Open Social Web. For us, that starts by working to overcome barriers of entry in the network and highlighting the things done well.

On March 2nd, @fediforum are hosting an event dedicated to Growing the OSW. It's a chance to talk about all the issues as well as the long list of things the Social Web is doing well.

Ahead of it, we've published our Position Paper. You can see it here 👉

I'm really enjoying NodeBB. For me it's like a nice alternative to Mastodon's Bookmarks feature. Instead of having posts I want saved in some long list, I can easily sort in NodeBB by the categories on my board when I add the posts.

It also works as a nice alternative to lists for Mastodon. Mastodon only allows accounts added to lists if you already follow them. So with NodeBB, I can subscribe categories to accounts then use those as my lists instead.

Love it.

Roselaine by Lisa S. Baker Layers of blush, ivory, and soft coral blossoms unfold against a deep backdrop, accented with touches of gold. Roselaine blends romance and contrast, making it a beautiful statement piece for bedrooms, dressing rooms, living spaces, or elegant offices that call for warmth and refined femininity.

Better translations are here! 🌍✨

We’ve just upgraded the translation engine on our instance! 🚀

Previously, we relied on the older Argos-MT models. Let’s be honest: the translations were... awkward. They often felt robotic and struggled with context, making global conversations a bit of a puzzle. 🤖🧩

Respekt an die Landesregierung in SH: CDU + Grüne machen mit ihrer Mastodon-Instanz vor, wie digital unabhängig geht – kostenlos, ohne Big-Tech und mit Daten auf eigenen Servern in Deutschland. Das stärkt den Datenschutz und die Demokratie. Freie, offene Systeme brauchen Förderung, sonst kaufen wir uns nur Abhängigkeit.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@SydneyJim/116048704456227145

Totally.

"Mastodon is dead" I hear.

That's because there's no algorithm. Until you start following users you're not going to see any posts. Simple!

You get out what you put in. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's a great way to end doomscrolling.

ich bin Sophie und bin #neuhier.

Ich lebe im schönen #Sauerland.

Wurde höchste Zeit, mich von #Facebook, #Instagram und #WhatsApp zu befreien. 🤮

Durch den #DiD bin ich u.a. auf #Mastodon aufmerksam geworden!

Meine Hobbies sind u.a. die #Fotografie, das #Motorradfahren, das #Mountainbiking und das #Wandern.

Ich bin offen für "alle Schandtaten" und zum "Pferdestehlen" und freue mich auf neue Kontakte. Feel free to contact me!

Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?

We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?

If you think of another country, add it in the comments 👇

Lap Dog and Latte by Lisa S. Baker A quiet café moment unfolds as a loyal lap dog rests near a warm latte, wrapped in soft light and painterly texture. Gentle brushwork and cozy tones capture the comfort of companionship and the simple pleasure of slowing down together. This piece is well suited for kitchens, coffee bars, reading nooks, or relaxed living spaces.

I added Fediverse/Activitypub based user-comments to my blog.

The implementation is based on the great client-side solution, that @jwildeboer created. Was easy to integrate something similar into my Pelican blog templates 🙂.

#fediverse #activitypub

Ich stelle (für mich und in meinen Timelines) fest:

Die Trollifizierung von Mastodon schreitet voran und schwappt munter ins gesamte Fedivere über.

#Trolle #Mastodon #Fediverse

Ich weiß ja nicht, was ich von manchen Fedibewohner:innen halten soll, die anderen am liebsten mit Lineal und Stoppuhr vorschreiben möchten, wie lang ihre Posts gefälligst zu sein haben. Das Fediverse ist doch schon lange kein Mikro-Blog-Fediverse mehr. War es das überhaupt jemals so richtig? 🤔

Aus Gründen (aka: es flammt halt immer wieder auf), greife ich das Thema mal wieder auf, weil sich zuverlässig irgendwo darüber beschwert wird, dass Posts zu lang seien. Liebe Leute, soweit ich weiß, ist Mastodon so ziemlich die einzige größere Plattform im Fediverse mit einer vergleichswei, nennen wir es liebevoll "überschaubaren Zeichenbegrenzung".

Es gibt genügend Instanzen mit 5.000 Zeichen oder mehr. Meine zum Beispiel hat 8.000, weil ich manchmal Dinge ausformuliere. Sharkeyund alle ähnlichen können das auch, Friendica sowieso, ganz sicher habe ich noch so einige vergessen.

Was genau ist eigentlich diese große Liebe zu oft erstaunlich inhaltsarmen Kurzposts? Ist da noch zu viel Twitter in der Blutbahn? Ein bisschen algorithmisches Trauma? "Ein Gedanke, aber bitte nur halb und ohne Kontext"? Oder gar ein falscher Client auf dem Phone der lange Posts nicht kürzt? Klar, knackig kann schön sein, aber nicht alles passt in einen Glückskeks.

Ich schreibe, wenn ich aktiver hier bin, gerne mal lange Posts. Und natürlich, ihr dürft mich deswegen jederzeit entfolgen. Wirklich. Niemand muss sich Inhalte reinziehen, die sie*er nicht lesen will. Das ist ja gerade der Charme hier. Aber dieses passive-aggressive Shitposten mit drohendem Unterton à la "Schreibt keine langen Posts, sonst entfolge und blocke ich euch!!1!“, na ja. Das fühlt sich weniger nach Fediverse und mehr nach selbsternanntem Ordnungshüter mit Sheriffstern aus Pappe an.

Also, ihr lieben Fediwesen 🖤
Wenn ihr lange oder längere Texte schreiben wollt, macht es. Nutzt den Platz, den eure Plattform euch gibt. Erzählt Geschichten, holt aus, denkt laut, seid ausführlich. Lasst euch nicht einschüchtern, nur weil ein paar selbsternannte Content-Sheriffs glauben, sie müssten das Fediverse zur Kurznachrichten-Zone erklären.

Wer kurze Posts will, kann sie lesen.
Wer lange Posts will, kann sie schreiben.

How do you see it? Are the relay servers for Fediverse message distribution run purely out of enthusiasm, or is there something more behind them? Help a newbie figure it out :)

Guten Morgen ins #fediverse ​​ ​​

Der #Spätdienst gestern war entspannt und angenehm ruhig. Genug Personal, nette PatientInnen und ein schönes arbeiten. So kann es diese Woche weitergehen.

Ich wünsche euch einen guten Start in den Dienstag. Kommt bitte gut durch den Tag 🤗💚

#gutenmorgen ☕️☕️

@AlienJay Das war für mich auch der Einstieg, da bei der Suche im Netz mastodon.social als eine der Haupt-Plattformen vorgeschlagen wurde. Nach wenigen Tagen aktiv im #Fediverse bin ich dann umgezogen. Das ist Anfangs einfach noch etwas schwer überschaubar.

Ist euch eigentlich schon mal aufgefallen, das hauptsächlich Mastodon user immer wieder betonen und hervorheben müssen, das sie "auf Mastodon" sind und nicht im Fediverse?

Alle restlichen BewohnerInnen des Fediverse, sprechen in der Mehrzahl über das und vom Fediverse 🤔

Habt ihr irgend welche Verlustängste, die ihr kompensieren müsst, das ihr diese Insellösung im ganzen Netzwerk immer so betonen müsst?

Wenn ihr diese Energie dem ganzen Netzwerk zukommen lassen würdet, wären viel mehr Menschen geholfen, denn nicht alle suchen so ein Notizzettel Tool, andere suchen vielleicht was für mehr Text, für mehr Bilder, für Galerien, für echte Gruppen, usw.

Promotet das ganze Fediverse und nehmt die Wünsche der Menschen ernst und geht auf sie zu.

Hätte ich nicht noch einige tolle Menschen auf mastodon.social, denen ich folgen würde und/oder die mir folgen hätte ich mastodon.social schon längst als Instanz komplett geblockt.
Allerdings ist das auch die Einstiegsinstanz der meisten #neuhier, denen man dann auch das Ankommen hier schwer machen würde. Mastodon.social ist das Krebsgeschwür des #Fediverse.

Welche #Fediverse Software habt ihr denn über #Docker installiert?
Sollte nicht so kompliziert sein zum Installieren und natürlich auch funktionieren 😀

#Peertube #Fediverse can anyone help?

I've got my own instance ( https,://nomenloony.live ) but when I try to add my account on Peertube's app I get this message.

Is this a configuration error? Can anyone help? I'm quite new to this so try not to lose me!

Me trying to add my Peertube instance on the app. This is the error I get. It says the URL does not work : type 'Null' is now a subtype of type Map<String, dynamic> in type cast.

Corporate platforms control speech via algorithms & bans. The alternative? ActivityPub, the open protocol powering the Fediverse (e.g., Mastodon). It creates a network of independent servers that interconnect—like email. You choose your community, own your data, and see a chronological feed. A return to user sovereignty online.
#ActivityPub #Fediverse #freedom

From now on, forecasts are richer, clearer, and a bit smarter, without losing the familiar, readable style.

You will now see more complete current conditions at a glance: feels-like temperature, humidity, pressure, visibility, UV index, and wind gusts, all grouped in a dedicated Details section. Sunrise and sunset times for the current day are also included.

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.

Pressure is no longer just a number: FediMeteo now shows a real pressure trend over the last few hours, telling you if it is rising, falling, or staying stable.

A new Warnings section has been added. When relevant, the bot will automatically flag things like:

• extreme feels-like temperatures, hot or cold
• high UV levels
• poor air quality
• thunderstorms
• heavy rain likely
• strong winds or gusts

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.

Ich habe heute #pixelfed getesten und bin etwas enttäuscht. Auch wenn ich da viel schöne Kunst und Fotos gesehen habe, hatte gehofft auf eine "ART" Instagram zu treffen wo Menschen mit anderen Menschen einen kleinen teil ihres Privatlebens teilen, keine Ahnung so camping fotos, Urlaubsfotos oder Ne coole Party, irgendwie sowas. Jetzt nicht so wahllos wie bei Instagram aber halt in die Richtung und trotzdem nicht ausdcheeifend.
Gibt es sowas nicht irgendwie im #fediverse ?

And you should also note how (nly a fraction of #ActivityPub boosts that traverse the #fediverse get actually notified to and/or collected by the original server due to the distributed and eterogeneous nature of the network.

In some cases, following the boosts over the network (eg opening with a browser the boosted post on the boosting account) I've noticed a factor of 3-5 between the number of boosts my server recorded and the actual boosts occurred.

For example take this post that got notified for 120 boosts

Following some of them I see that it got at least:

• 119 boosts on https://mastodon.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294292839723
• 111 boosts on https://mastodon.online/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294368731338
• 106 boosts on https://mstdn.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294398725122
• 102 boosts on https://mas.to/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294338400575
• 88 boosts on https://infosec.exchange/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294113374994
• 78 boosts on https://universeodon.com/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294115426342
• 71 boosts on https://techhub.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294169907674
• 45 boosts on https://piaille.fr/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294126051523
• 43 boosts on https://todon.nl/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294160074426
• 36 boosts on https://scicomm.xyz/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294443167694
• 30 boosts on https://toot.io/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294130168032
• 28 boosts on https://hessen.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294160776737
• 26 boosts on https://tilde.zone/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294154664854
• 21 boosts on https://sueden.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294115914076
• 19 boosts on https://masto.es/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294300865512
• 9 boosts on https://twiukraine.com/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294173853433
• 7 boosts on https://bewegung.social/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294170759818
• 7 boosts on https://poliversity.it/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294286275262
• 4 boosts on https://social.noleron.com/@giacomo@snac.tesio.it/116019294109759945

Here's to the crazy ones. The digital revolutionaries. The #fediverse builders. The ones who see social media differently.

They're not fond of #BigTech. And they have no respect for the #SurveillanceEconomy.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people crazy enough to think they can change social media, are the ones who do.

Comment if you can see this quote in #mastodon!

#activitypub #fediverse

@hongminhee I'm reading this thread as a relative noob, but what I see again and again: almost no one "properly" implents #ActivityPub largely because #JSONLD is hard but also because the spec itself is unclear. Most people who get stuff done have to go off-spec to actually ship.

This seems a fundamental weakness of the #fediverse - and that disregarding the limitations coming from base architecture. Seems to pose a mid/long-term existential threat.

What can we do to help improve things?

Will Mastodon, the platform that keeps the #Fediverse alive, miss a strategic opportunity to bring official institutions on board at scale?

By watching how #EuroSky is being marketed compared to #Mastodon, it certainly seems that way.

I wish the folks at Mastodon would invest in more professional marketing, similar to what we're seeing from its rival, Bluesky.

There was a major meeting in the EU Parliament focused on this topic, yet there was no announcement or microblog post from Mastodon. Zero engagement.

Compare these two approaches:

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

(Reply with your answers.)

#Fediverse #FriendlyFediverse #SpreadFediverse #WelcomingFediverse

The time is probably right.

Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together the foundations of an app tailored to my needs.

A lot has changed since then and today we have great alternatives like IceCubes, Mona, Ivory, etc. Each one has strengths and weaknesses though, so I picked up my old project again and kept pushing it forward.

So I’m happy to announce that my app will finally see the light: I’ve been using it for the past few days and, in my spare time, I’m fixing bugs and adding missing features. I’m building it around my own needs, so it doesn’t have to “appeal to everyone”. I wouldn’t call it opinionated, but it’s definitely targeted.

The app will have one key trait: #snac2 support will be a first-class feature, not an incidental one. Many apps, especially on iOS, support snac as a side effect, but the experience is often not optimal. In this case, the choice is deliberate and it strictly follows the Mastodon API support implemented by snac. So snac will work properly (within the limits of the platform, of course).

Among the features already implemented: the app is minimal and lightweight (under 10 MB, including debug code), easy on RAM, and privacy-first (for example it strips EXIF data from media before posting, so the server will never see it). On snac it also cleans up the "Boosted by Aoderelay" messages that appear when using a relay, removes the character limit, and supports posting in Markdown.

I also added support for Apple Intelligence to generate alt text, both for the media I post and for media posted by others that is missing alt text.

Everything is processed locally through Apple APIs and only on supported devices. The results aren't amazing, Apple Intelligence is extremely limited, but in my opinion it's the only privacy-friendly and ethical way to approach it. And of course, you can disable it.

On Mastodon it supports all the main features: lists, quote posts, granular notifications (you can choose what you want for each category), notification grouping, multi-account support, and it works.

It's still missing a few things (block, etc.) and has some bugs, which I’m spotting as I keep using it.
As soon as it's stable enough, I'll invite a few people to test it. I still haven't fully decided how I'll distribute it: an Apple Developer account has a yearly cost, and I hope to reuse it for other projects too. So this app might be paid, with a trial period, but if possible (I still need to check what’s feasible) I'd like it to be free if you connect to one of the BSD Cafe instances, illumos Cafe, or any snac instance, including your own.

I don't know how long it will take before it's ready... but I can already tell you what it will be called.
It already has a name, and it's... MastoBlaster.

This name was chosen for personal reasons, and also because of its similarity to Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder, which even today feels relevant and fitting for the Fediverse.

Stay tuned!
