I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and experties) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

So far I have on my list:

Google Maps has introduced a limited view for signed out users — hiding reviews, hours data, and many photos and making it all around a much less useful tool. Reminds me that we are the product here!

Is anyone working on a federated or otherwise open system for adding reviews and other helpful information to maps? That would be incredible and I’d contribute right away. #fediverse #dreams

Ein knappes Jahr seit dem Wechsel ins Fediverse. Was mir fehlt: Austausch mit Künstlern und Kollegen aus Literatur und Show. Wo finde ich die? Gibt es Gruppen? Oder nur Listen? Wenn ich #kabarett oder #autorin eingebe, finde ich nur eine Handvoll Einträge. Fühle mich ein bisschen verloren hier. Was ich nicht vermisse: Werbung, Filter und "Schaut-her-wie-geil-mein-Leben-ist"-Posts.

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.

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!

Gotta say being on the #fediverse is wonderful, but my servers are quite pricey to to run.

Help always appreciated -> https://ko-fi.com/nomenloony

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.

@Sustainable2050 Decentralisatie van kritische infrastructuur is altijd een goed idee. Dat geldt voor de #fediverse en voor het #stroomnet.

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.

I couldn't get pixelfed to work under #NixOS. That's why I'm building pxvoid now. A simple, self-hosted web gallery with #ActivityPub integration. No multi-user management, no filters, no stories, and a local upload script. Follows and likes from the #Fediverse are possible. It's an early alpha version, but the basics work in under 1800 LoC #Python. Now all that's missing is the final design and code cleanup 🥳🎉

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 link:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k

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."

Im Zentrum steht ein hölzerner Wegweiser, an dem viele bunte Pfeile mit chinesischen Segenssprüchen (wie „Glück“, „Reichtum“ und „Frieden“) angebracht sind, gekrönt von einem kleinen Vogelhäuschen. Links daneben leuchtet die orangefarbene Mauer, die über und über mit Topfpflanzen und Blumen geschmückt ist – einige stehen auf hellblauen, säulenartigen Podesten. Ein leuchtend roter Briefkasten setzt einen weiteren Farbakzent. Rechts befindet sich ein silbernes Metalltor mit der Hausnummer „76“ (Lide St.).

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 #Mastodon, looking for some #Hardcore #Punk #DIY 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!

2026 is going to make it look like a warmup.

It's probably less of a problem now that the fediverse is much bigger (than it was 5 years ago). 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 #DevMeta)? Then the DevMeta tag could be filtered out by default for newbies.

#fediverse #FediverseDev #ActivityPub

I keep thinking about the fact that on the #fediverse one can follow people from different platforms (Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc.). So does mean that the only real difference is UI preference?

I think I just had THE fediverse moment:
Scrolling through my timeline watching text posts, photos, a peertube video...A short video.

"ah nice MTB video" , I thought. Until I saw the handle: someone@loops. Wait.. I see a loops here. This isn't just a video. This is a video on A DIFFERENT Service. And I can seamlessly interact with it.

A new service just integrated seamlessly into my timeline. No "connect your account", no "extra app", no "extra login", no, it's just there

This is #fediverse

After shutting down #HolosDiscover, we're rethinking the approach with #HolosIndex: users explicitly opt in by adding #HolosIndex to their bio with interest tags, then submit their profile. No assumptions, no default settings.
This will power interest-based discovery across the #Fediverse, helping people find each other through shared interests. Still all through #ActivityPub of course, with real-time deletions and updates.

Never before has it been this easy to leverage the fediverse across the web.

With @webintents and @socialwebgraph, you will be unstoppable 🚀

Available Soon.

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 💌

#TheFutureIsFederated

Just a little bit frustrating to read people saying "the Fediverse should have starter packs" when I've spent the last four+ years hand-curating recommended accounts to follow on @FediFollows and https://fedi.directory

I'm not the only person doing this kind of initiative, the Trunk directory (https://communitywiki.org/trunk) was the first, and the Fediverse.info directory by @dansup (https://fediverse.info/explore/people) is an automated way for people to add themselves to suggested lists.

We already have these things on the Fedi, people just need to ask around and discover them, and let their friends know about them.
