() Read as little as possible in the way of ascethics and criticism -

It will either be partisan views, fossilized and made meaningless in its lifeless rigidity, or it will be neat wordplay. Where one opinion will triumph one day and the opposite the next. ()

() Nothing is less likely to reach () than criticism.

With regards to such disquisition () trust yourself and your instincts;

Even if you go wrong in your judgement, the natural growth of your inner life will gradually, over time, lead you to other other insights.

Allow your verdicts their own, quiet, untroubled development, which like all progress must come from deep within and cannot be forced or accelerated. Everything must must be carried to term before it is born. ()

To let every impression and the germ of every feeling within come to completion inside,

In the dark, in the unsayable ()

And to wait with deep humility and patience for the hour when a new clarity is delivered;

That alone is to live ()

These things cannot be measured by time, a year has no meaning, and ten years are nothing.

To be () means: () to grow and ripen like a tree which does not hurry the flow of the sap and stands at ease in the spring gales without fearing that no summer will follow.

It will come. ()

To those who are patient, who are simply there in their vast, quiet tranquility, as if eternity lay before them.

It is lesson I learn every day ()

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke

() And those who come together in the night-time () are carrying out a work in collecting sweetness, profundity and strength for the song of some poet yet to come, who will rise up to speak unutterable pleasures.

() They summon up the future; and even if they err and embrace one another blindly, the future will come all the same, a new creature will appear, and based on the chance act that seems to accomplished here the law comes into being according to which a resistant and vigorous seed forces its way through to the egg moving forward to receive it. ()

Perhaps the sexes are more related than we think, and the great renewal of the world will perhaps consist in man and woman, freed of all sense of error and disappointment, seeking one another out not as opposites, but as brothers and sisters and neighbours, and they will join together as human beings ()

Everything () the () individual can prepare for and build now ()

Believe in a love that is stored up for you like an inheritance, and trust that in this love there is a strength and benediction out of whose sphere you do not need to issue, even if your journey is a long one. ()

Solitude () will be a hold and home (), () leading from it you will find all the paths you need.

People very rarely sign up for my tiny, specialized #Mastodon instance, but in the last few days I've had a string of seven accounts signing up. They all have normal-looking profile pictures and normal-sounding names, but I haven't seen much activity from them and they haven't responded to my greetings.

Top 4 ActivityPub fediverse platforms by number of active instances:

• mastodon (10462, source: @mastodon)
• misskey (2393, source: @misskey)
• peertube (2096, source: @peertube)

I don't know how much WordPress instances with ActivityPub plugin installed so we can call it a fediverse instance. But I think it's not a huge number comparing with total WordPress instances. So don't complain why doesn't WordPress is on the list.

The second Larry Ellison took control of tiktok, people should have been preparing to jump ship. The new dark patterns for ai opt-in's associated with ai harvesting the voice and likeness of creators was bound to happen. It comes as no surprise to me personally. If you've been listening to anything the palantir ceo has been saying, they want to corrode most social communication regardless of which echo chamber your on, censor more content, and push attention towards the more nationalist right wing "unifying" creators.

People should be over any platform that taps into emotional response at this point. Meta apps have taught a masterclass in this over the last 10 years.

Decentralized platforms is the future.

📢 Wichtige Mitteilung!

Unsere nächste Fediverse-Sprechstunde wird um eine Woche verschoben.
👉 Neuer Termin: Montag, 04.05.2026 um 19:30 Uhr
❗️ (nicht wie ursprünglich geplant am 27.04.)

🌐 Thema: Instanzen – verstehen & selbst betreiben

Was genau ist eigentlich eine Instanz im Fediverse – und warum bildet sie das Herzstück von Plattformen wie Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla oder Sharkey?

In dieser Sprechstunde schauen wir uns das Thema verständlich und praxisnah an – ganz unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anwendung. Du erfährst:

🔹 Welche Rolle Instanzen im dezentralen Netzwerk spielen
🔹 Wie sie miteinander kommunizieren
🔹 Welche Unterschiede es zwischen öffentlichen, privaten und themenspezifischen Instanzen gibt

⚙️ Eigene Instanz betreiben – lohnt sich das?

Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Praxis:

✔️ Technische & organisatorische Voraussetzungen
✔️ Sicherheit, Wartung & Moderation
✔️ Für wen sich eine eigene Instanz wirklich lohnt

💡 Praxisbericht inklusive!
Von den ersten Schritten über typische Stolpersteine bis hin zu wertvollen Tipps für den laufenden Betrieb.

Wir freuen uns auf dich! 🤗
Link zur Veranstaltung: Konferenzraum

#Fediverse #fediversesprechstunde #instanzen #onlinemeetings

Is there a #fediverse enabled #blog (or something like that) which supports long posts which are regularly extended and treats them like growing threads?

I want to write my daily stories in a way that they can be followed/found from e.g. mastodon, but also be read in one page.

Or maybe I could just teach #silverbullet to publish both the whole page and the latest paragraph to separate systems.

A cute dog with a tilted head sits at a table next to a glass of wine and a bottle. The background consists of vibrant, multicolored abstract shapes.

Okay need a bit fedipower especially from those who use GoToSocial: is there any script / project which can find dead profiles you follow?
I mean in Mastodon i remeber there were a page where you could see ho you are following and when they have posted the last time.

I didnt find anythin similiar in phanpy or elk (or i am blind)

Do you know something similiar? I mean not only for removing dead profiles but sometime you dont realize that somebody moved to a new profile and so you could also check that more easy manually.

So please boost if you are okay with that.

RE: https://macaw.social/@andypiper/116453458889456317

This is another good reason why #Mastodon users should spread away from the larger instances - it makes the #Fediverse as a whole less vulnerable.

And instance migration is a relatively straightforward and painless process, and you can take all your connections with you. The only downside is that your old posts will remain on your previous instance.

I was just reading a great piece on how the browser wars shaped the internet (https://hackernoon.com/how-the-browser-wars-changed-the-landscape-of-the-internet), and it hit me with a massive wave of nostalgia.

I had been using Opera since my school days. The classic Presto-engine Opera was truly ahead of its time. Does anyone else remember Opera Turbo, Opera Unite, Opera Link, and the original Speed Dial? The competitors had nothing even close to that back then. Yes, websites occasionally broke because of the different engine, but I absolutely loved that browser, even if I couldn't always explain why.

When the original Opera essentially ended with version 12.18, it was a sad moment. But the second I heard about @Vivaldi launching, I immediately jumped on their first Technical Previews. I was so relieved that the spirit of the old Opera didn't actually die - it just reformatted and got a new name.

I have followed them ever since, and lately, I've been using Vivaldi a lot more actively. I cannot recommend it enough.
It is incredibly convenient and customizable, exactly like the good old Opera. I am even planning to buy some of their merch to support the team and spread the word.

If you are looking for an alternative, just give it a try. Even though it uses the same Chromium engine under the hood, the experience is infinitely better than Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Das klingt gut. Ich hoffe nur, dass das Team von Mastodon sich hier sauber mit den anderen Entwicklern von Software für das Fediverse abstimmt und das Ganze koordiniert abläuft. Sonst gibt es ein totales Chaos.
Nur weil die meisten Instanzen im Fediverse Mastodon Instanzen sind sollten die Entwickler nicht arrogant werden und dem Rest des Fediverse ihren Weg aufdrücken, indem sie einfach vollendete Tatsachen schaffen.

Here is something neat:

I maintain a #WordPress blog, and use the #ActivityPub plugin to connect to the #Fediverse .

And it seems that recently this plugin added the option of an extended footer to blog entries. This footer includes both a Fediverse "follow" button and a list of Fediverse Followers.

I think this is very useful because it makes the Fediverse more visible in the world at large - few people out there know what the Fediverse actually is, but many read blogs.

If you use Wordpress, I recommend that you check this plugin out, and use it for your site. You can see the effect here:

If you want to know what my March looked like, this screenshot pretty much says it all.

The funny thing is, I have never been a huge Moby fan. But somehow, his music became exactly what I needed to get through this month.
70 hours of his tracks on repeat simply helped me survive and during the hard days.

When you loop "Natural Blues" 673 times in a single month, it is not just a playlist anymore - it is a lifeline.

hi peeps <3 Running a small fundraiser to keep altbot and fuzzies.wtf alive and healthy!

my server storage hit 100% full and took down basically everything. i got it fixed, but it's clear i need more drives before it happens again.

altbot is free, open source, and runs 24/7 generating alt text for anyone on the fediverse who needs it. it's real accessibility infrastructure and i want to keep free.

goal is $500 for a set of used (and tested for good health) enterprise drives off ebay. every little bit helps get there!
