I was injured while trying to secure food for my family 💔
I am the sole provider for my family of nine, including my wife. My injury is very serious, and I urgently need surgery to save my leg from amputation.

Every day without treatment increases our suffering… Any support, no matter how small, could save my life and help me stay with my family.

Just a reminder to anyone in the #Raleigh #NC area tomorrow, Feb 28th 2026, we're having a #Fediverse #MeetUp at Sir Walter Coffee, E. Davies St. Meeting there around 1800 until whenever folks care to wrap up.

freestreamers.btfree.org/eve...

Brief issue with peertube and the S3 storage backing it... but should all be back up and running now, currently opening the videos from this year so we can get started with some content!

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

@isAutonomous @rebootdeluxe #Usenet und #Fediverse haben aber schon Gemeinsamkeiten - für mich ist das ein "Back to the roots" der dezentralen #Kommunikation.
Und lustigerweise finde ich hier etliche Leute wieder, an die ich mich aus dem Usenet anno 1991 erinnere👴🏼 .

Eine weite Panoramaaufnahme einer dichten Stadtlandschaft, fotografiert von einem erhöhten Standpunkt aus während des Sonnenauf- oder Sonnenuntergangs. Auf der linken Seite steht die leuchtende Sonne knapp über dem Horizont und taucht den Himmel in kräftige Orange- und Gelbtöne, die nach rechts sanft in ein kühleres Blaugrau übergehen. Im Vorder- und Mittelgrund erstreckt sich ein dicht bebautes städtisches Gebiet mit zahlreichen, teils verschachtelten Flachdachgebäuden, Bürokomplexen und Wohnblöcken. In der Ferne ragt in der Mitte des Bildes markant ein einzelner, etwas höherer Turm aus dem Häusermeer hervor.

Reason 1 is obviously moral - the deafening silence in the #fediverse is plainly shameful. We are speaking about a #medieval #theocracy in XXI century, which (i) literally executes #LGBT, (ii) beats women to death for failure to comply with ancient religious dressing code and (iii) provides assault drone technologies to #russia, proliferating #war and #genocide (not by that way only, but I prefer to stick to the boundaries of at least some expertise). And during the bloodshed performed by the authorities against their own people concerned by their policies, the only questions which seemed to worry the progressive liberal self-important and self-loving fediversians was the "Zionist conspiracies"(tm) and "American imperialism"(tm) against the "sovereignty" of these folks. It looks like lefties will happily betray you, my little friends, if your enemies happen to hate #Jews. ⬇️

Gerade weil ich praktisch täglich mit #HassundHetze konfrontiert bin, kann ich auch als Religionswissenschafter eines mit Sicherheit sagen: Noch nie in der #Geschichte war das alltägliche Miteinander von christlichen, jüdischen, muslimischen, jesidischen, anders- & nichtreligiösen Menschen in #Deutschland und besonders in #BadenWürttemberg so gut wie heute!

Der digitale Hate trifft uns auch hier im #Fediverse - weil es insgesamt so gut läuft, auch im #Ramadan ! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/heilige-zeiten-in-deutschland-beobachtungen-vor-ostern-und-zum-ramadan-2026/

#fediblock coretalk.space

Seems to be another instance tied to neondystopia.world and poa.st.

After fediblocking neondystopia, I received the attached post from their owner using an account at coretalk.space.

You can read for yourself, but essentially they are not fascists or racists, they are neurodivergent. And thus they cannot be held responsible for acting racist or fascist. And if you stand against either, you are a terrible Christian.

Seems like a wonderful group of people.

Golden Grasshopper by Lisa S. Baker Bold painterly portrait of a grasshopper rendered in vibrant shades of yellow and gold with hints of pink, teal, and green against a warm impressionistic background. Rich impasto brushwork and expressive color give this piece a striking, contemporary energy.

Read this if you want a reminder why people still hang out on #X / #Twitter , #Facebook , #Instagram and so forth.

A lot of people on the #Fediverse assume that the social communities on these platforms could simply reform on the Fediverse. But this isn't going to happen. When a social platform crashes, its social communities are usually gone permanently.

I mean, I made the decision to leave Twitter, but I do miss a lot of the awesome people there whom I interacted with. And for others, the loss would be _far_ more acute.

So instead of being moralistic about ordinary users on other platforms, we should work harder to build awesome communities here - hopefully ones that are more diverse than what the Fediverse has right now.

Vielen Dank, @Ostfriesin 🙏

Nachdem mich hier auf #Mastodon ein Shitstörmle ausgerechnet zum Holocaust-Gedenktag auch emotional getroffen hat, bin ich inzwischen zum morgendlichen Tässle Kaffee ☕ zurückgekehrt.

Denn gerade auch hier will ich die große Mehrheit stärken, die sich fair, demokratisch & also dialogisch verhält. Hass, Hetze und feindseligem #Dualismus gilt es gerade auch im #Fediverse zu widerstehen. Ja, solidarisch! 🤓🙏🖖 https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/gemeinsam-gegen-hass-hetze-im-podcast-dialog-mit-josephine-ballon-von-hateaid/

I scanned your comments (so far) in a previous poll for Mastodon mobile app mentions, and made a list sorted by frequency. I put the top four most mentioned mobile apps into this poll.

Honorary mentions to #Moshidon, #Ivory, #Trunks, #Toot, and #Tusker.

What mobile app do you use to access Mastodon the most?

Feel free to boost for a larger sample.

@fromjason I think @FediGarden has a good list of +500 servers and a good list overall so that might be a good place to start?

https://fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-size/

Not wanting mastodon.social blocked is fair, too; you can choose one that does not block or that limits but does not block.

I would say tbh, follow a server for a little bit and pick one that you vibe with, or that has similar interests!

#fedi #fediverse

In case you want to report this Zionist hasbara account that posted this reply and blocked me, please feel free to.

(This is their new tactic. The anonymous cowards.)

PS. Be careful, they’re on a German instance, they might block you instead if the admins are pro-genocide also (it’s a very common thing in Germany).

antizionist memes @hydra4455@berlin.social 22/02/2026, 18:50 Replying to @aral Advocating for lynchings, totally not a hate movement. Totally normal rhetoric to call for hangings, dear. Deffo not hate speech. #antizionism ANTIZIONISTS KNOW THEY ARE KLANSMEN THAT'S WHY THEY MASK UP

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Sireen Mohammed (@sireen123)
• Saeed Mahmoud (@saeed200)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

​Eine Aufnahme eines schwarzen Lenovo ThinkPad Laptops, der aufgeklappt auf einem hellen Holztisch steht. ​Bildschirm: Das Display zeigt den Installationsbildschirm für das Linux-Betriebssystem Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. In der Mitte ist ein Menü geöffnet, in dem der Nutzer aufgefordert wird, eine Sprache auszuwählen („Select a Language“), wobei „English“ aktuell markiert ist. Links im Installationsfenster ist ein kleines Roboter-Maskottchen zu sehen. Am unteren Bildschirmrand befindet sich ein Dock mit verschiedenen App-Icons. ​Hardware: An der linken Seite des Geräts ist ein weißer USB-Stick (mit einem Adapter) angeschlossen, der offensichtlich als Installationsmedium dient.

Auf der linken Handballenauflage klebt ein Badge für einen AMD Ryzen 7 PRO Prozessor.

Kann mir jemand hier im #Fediverse ein paar Details zu den Leuten hinter #AlienOS geben?

Ich habe da so ein paar Dinge gesehen, vor allem Wallpapers mit Heinrich Himmlers eso-germanisch-völkischer #SchwarzeSonne, die als Mosaik im SS-Sakralbau, der Wewelsburg verlegt ist, und wüsste gerne wie so ein brauner Schmutz zum OpenSource Gedanken passen soll.

Kommentare der Macher lassen zumindest auf eine völlige Gleichgültigkeit zur NS Ikonographie schließen. Und schon die Duldung von Nazi-Symbolik ist in meinen Augen Zustimmung.

Diagram. Interoperability in practice. A chart with a horizontal axis that goes in 2 directions. On the left it moves towards chaotic grassroots growth, and on the right side towards open standards adoption. The Y-axis indicates level of complexity. The center indicates a low level of complexity. On the left side of the axis we first find the ActivityPub open standard, with a relatively low complexity level. However the prevailing method to evolving the ecosystem is driven by post facto interoperability, where tech debt and protocol decay is introduced and accepted, which must be refactored and evolve alongside the open standard. Since this doesn’t happen, the fediverse grassroots environment is shifting more to the left into non-lineary increasing accidental complexity. Deviating more and more from the ActivityPub standard and the promise that it holds to offer the Future of Social networking. On the right side, to contrast against fediverse, we find the Solid Project led by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, which is based on a whole range of W3C Linked Data related open standards and draft documents. There is no grassroots movement that drives progress, but a steering committee. Progress is restrained by open standards adoption and support. Higher levels of interoperability require more rigour and formal standardization, and this also leads to non-linear growth of, in this case, engineered complexity. Solution developers have to wait for many standards to mature, leading to inertia.

I've seen an ongoing debate between "Note" versus "Article" in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams.

When is something a "Note"‽
When is something an "Article"‽

Personally — I would probably have made the distinction this way.

An "Article" has a title.
A "Note" doesn't have a title.

(In ActivityPub / ActivityStreams, a 'title' seems to tend to get represented in the "name" field.)

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

@dansup
It'll make people do some authoritarian behaviour. I think the best thing is to put those under a content warning as "OP blocked user" or something like that. This will make things transparent.
And in client side one can choose to not see such warning posts in their feed. This will be a better suggestion IMO.

OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

Open 19" 90's rack Case with a green motherboard in it and old grey ribbon cables connected to a dvd drive and a ssd. there are two addon cards in the pci slots and two slot 1 pentium ii cpus with fans installed. The 4:3 screen shows a fastfetch output giving stats of the machine , an htop screen with two cpu usage graphs and snac log

In *theory* you should be able to follow this test user:

@你好@i18n.viii.fi

But I can't find any Fediverse software which actually supports non-ASCII usernames.

If you are able to see the user, its description, and its avatar - please send me a screenshot 🙂

What kind of app do you mostly use to interact with Mastodon?

Please consider boosting for a larger sample.

Today @mkljczk introduced a proposal for MAEPs (Mastodon API Enhancement Proposals) which would be similar to the FEP process but for converging on API schema for servers that are not Mastodon but who are using the Mastodon client API

@smallcircles @django @evan just saw this in the #fediverse-devs:matrix.org room

Hey, this is great. It is so nice to see the uptick of interest in the #C2S part of #ActivityPub. Very uplifting and gives me hope for the future of #fediverse.

I really liked your #FOSDEM presentation, and thank you for mentioning my humble list. They are just notes atm, but I will try to keep them up-to-date. I just made a bunch of updates..

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-experience/issues/130

Would love to hear more on what are the particular plans and goals for your project in the near future?

Every now and then people break into a fight on here over fediverse vs the Atmosphere (or Bluesky, as its main representative).

I get it. Many of us get frustrated when we see people flocking to a VC-funded fediverse competitor.

But let's focus this energy on making the fediverse a place people want to spend their time in.

#fediverse #bluesky #infighting

Well that was fun, can't believe Pixelfed has over 1M people in our community!

Looking forward to building bridges for the next million or two people to join the #fediverse

We have some important work to do this year!

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.

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.

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.

Stay tuned.

"O fediverso é anticapitalista. O fediverso é a práxis anarquista. O fediverso não é um protocolo. O fediverso carrega uma ideologia de cuidado comunitário e ajuda mútua para nossos semelhantes. O fediverso nunca deve ser neutro em relação à ideologia. As ferramentas que estamos construindo fornecem infraestrutura para comunicação, mas também moldam essa comunicação."

The person who I talked to at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026 suggested I talk to someone else at SFU about a location for FediCon 2026.

I did. They responded.

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?

#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌
