I've been thinking about an emerging issue here on the #Fediverse, and I would like to suggest we solve it collaboratively.

Issue

Civilians in #Gaza are trying to provide food, medical treatment, and basic necessities for their families. They can't see upfront who would be willing to support them here on the #Fediverse. They can't stay silent either, just watching their kids and vulnerable family members suffer.

So they add long lists of recipients to their posts, and maybe also sent direct messages to a long list of people.

Some recipients feel helpless, because they're already donating. Some people get upset because they do not want to receive a stream of direct messages.

Suggestion

Let's use a ""#hashtag" (to be determined):

1) When you post a call for donations, write it without a long list of recipients, so everybody reading feels addressed by it.

Include the "#hashtag", to encourage boosts.

2) When you're willing to support civilians in Gaza who are in need, subscribe to the ""#hashtag".

No need to boost all of the posts you will see. If we are many, each of us boosting a single post a day will spread the message. If you don't think a post is a genuine call for help, just don't boost it. If you see malicious abuse of the hashtag, to harm its efficiency, report the abusers.

3) Whoever doesn't want to see the "#hashtag" can filter it.

Does that sound reasonable?

If you think this is a reasonable approach, please favorite and boost. Optionally reply with a "#hashtag" suggestion that:

• Signals respect for people and institutions in need
• Makes it clear it's about aid and donations for people and humanitarian institutions on the ground (not just generically about Gaza)
• Suggests boosts are also a form of help, if one can't donate (more)

I'll collect all suggestions from the replies on Thursday Aug 13th midnight UTC, and post a vote listing all of them, that will run for another week, to determine the most favorited one.

Hey friends, it's me again

We have more news to share today, though I must admit, this news is a little less fun.

Recently, the @Mastodon team received a fair number of questions about our trade mark policy. We realised we could add some guidelines to help make the Policy more clear, so over the last few months, we did just that! I'll post a "plain English" version of the guidelines as a comment.

You can read more background about the changes we made, and see the guidelines themselves, in this blog post:
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/sharing-guidelines-about-mastodons-trade-mark-policy/

@mistersql I also mute monsterdon, for similar reasons.

But I love the fact that Mastodon is basically dozens/hundreds of passionate special interest groups, all jostling to be heard in the same space.

I think if there was a way to shuffle each little hashtag or group off into its own private enclave, we'd all end up the poorer for it.

I have made a pretty interesting discovery on #Peertube. You are able to follow the peertube instances itself as an user on Mastodon.
(Speculation)
When follow an user from a Peertube platform, only the videos of the account you follow display on your mastodon instance. Differently from mastodon(and others) that when you follow an user in an instance, all the post form the instance get displayed from now on.

@lianna @FediTips @feditips WithGotoSocial it's easy to subscribe to relays, it works great. The best implementation of relays in every #fediverse software I tried.

For Hashtags I use fedi.buzz relay. For example https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/gotosocial subscribes to everything #gotosocial.

Also general purpose relays https://relay.infosec.exchange/actor, https://relay.toot.io/actor and
https://rel.re/actor work without problems. For these you may want to create "matchers", they select which posts from the "big river of toots" the relays offer your instance will use, so you won't get "flooded"

I'm really against Toxic Positivity, but it's a little mind numbing how constantly hostile nearly all online social spaces are.

Like, #Fediverse is the least hostile, and still I have to take it in short bursts.

I'm forever grateful to the fediverse for helping me come out and accept who I really am.

Despite a few bumps, I'm immensely proud of this journey.

Together we can build a better future, and even my harshest critics can give great feedback, I love that.

Integrity and growth are essential traits for a good project leader, and I've become a better leader by listening to our community.

We build bridges to a better future, together ❤️

My advice to new activitypub devs:

- be bold: ship what big tech won't.
- consent first: opt in, never opt out.
- keep evolving: your v1 federation code will be wrong, and that's fine.
- federate the future: interop over lock in, every time.

8 years in and I still come back to these.

⚠️ Achtung: Phishing-Versuch im Fediverse

Gerade erreichte uns unter einem Beitrag ein Kommentar eines angeblichen „pixelfed bot“.

Darin wird behauptet, der Pixelfed-Account sei wegen „ungewöhnlicher Aktivitäten“ eingeschränkt worden und müsse innerhalb von 24 Stunden über einen angegebenen Link verifiziert werden.

Bitte diesen Link NICHT anklicken und keine Zugangsdaten eingeben! ⚠️

Der Kommentar ist sehr offensichtlich ein Phishing-/Spam-Versuch. Auffällig sind unter anderem der künstlich erzeugte Zeitdruck, die angeblich drohende Accountsperre und vor allem der externe Kurzlink zur „Verifizierung“.

Wir haben den betreffenden Kommentar auf unserer Friendica-Instanz bereits über die Administration gelöscht.

Falls euch ähnliche Kommentare begegnen: nicht reagieren, keinen Link öffnen, melden und – sofern ihr die Möglichkeit dazu habt – entfernen.

Passt gut auf eure Accounts auf. Das Fediverse ist dezentral – leider macht auch Spam und Phishing davor nicht halt.

#Flipboard #Fediverse #FediBoard

I was really happy to see @benpate and @dansup exploring similar ideas at the last FediCon: reducing user friction and making onboarding to the Fediverse almost invisible.

I’ve been working along the same lines. Here’s a small example: a user can interact with a #BadgeFed instance by simply logging in with #LinkedIn or #GitHub.

They can comment, upload images, like, boost, etc. They don’t need to know what the Fediverse is, what an instance is, or what software is running underneath.

For them, it’s just a social app.

Of course, existing Fediverse users can still connect with their Mastodon account or use their preferred Fediverse software.

Under the hood, it’s a #GoToSocial account configured with LinkedIn/GitHub OIDC OAuth.

But to the user? Completely transparent.

I think this kind of invisible complexity is one of the ways we can make the Fediverse much more approachable without sacrificing interoperability.
