Eigentlich wäre so was wie #Matrix natürlich noch besser, da wie das #Fediverse dezentralisiert, aber da bekommt man die Leute noch weniger hin als zu Signal 🤷

Good #Tuesday morning!

…adding another #sketching / #drawing to #fediverse and for #inktober

Alt...

Abstract black ink drawing featuring lines and varying textures. The composition includes bold, sweeping strokes and details within rectangular shapes.

• Gallery posts, which is an image post with multiple images in it, compatible with Mastodon and Pixelfed. Check out this example from Mastodon.

• “Reposters” as a separate thing from “Bots” with the same Show and Hide options for filtering that bots have. Reposters are more targeted, with higher quality content than true bots and often have a human operator writing comments. However many people find this inauthentic so now they can be filtered out. More details

• /c/microblogs can show posts from people you’re following OR all posts.

• Recent hashtags shown on the home page sidebar.

• Support for receiving posts with jpegxl images.

• Communities can have a default hashtag for new posts - posters can edit or remove it if they want.

For admins:

• Option to manually approve posts by new accounts, to cut down on spam while having open registrations (no approval on the new account). This will let people dip their toes in without waiting.

• Easily contact other instance admins, see /admin/instances

• Vote manipulation detection tools for simple sockpuppets and complex coordinated voting networks. See /admin/voting

• Serial downvoter report showing who made lots of downvotes against a single person in a short time.

• Other bot detection tools - e.g. easily spot unnatural runs of very quick post creation.

• Display list of alts on user profiles to more easily investigate activity by alts.

• Filter emoji with keywords rather than importing absolutely everything - this will speed up the emoji reaction dialog.

• Identify instances likely to be used by spammers in future. See /admin/instances?filter=liability

• Microblog posts with no replies can be automatically deleted - set the MICROBLOG_CONTENT_RETENTION environment variable to how many months you want to keep them for.

To upgrade from 1.7.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.8.x  

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

„Frage: Friedrich Merz steht ja derzeit für vieles in der Kritik. Was würden Sie als Bundeskanzler von Deutschland als Erstes anders machen?

Michael Blume: Ich würde die Rechte der Parlamente wieder stärken. Ich bin seit über 30 Jahren engagierter Christdemokrat. Aber dass Konrad Adenauer 1961 eine überzogene Fraktionsdisziplin eingeführt hat, die die Freiheit von Abgeordneten einschränkte, finde ich für das 21. Jahrhundert falsch. Wir brauchen wieder einen starken Bundestag und lebendige Landtage. Wir sollten wieder mehr Grundgesetz, Menschenwürde, Dialog wagen.“

A beautiful thing about the fediverse is that a random favourite of some flowers by a stranger can lead me deep into the mysteries of the Finnish Fediverse.

And I see many profile header images of snowy trees, and many things which remind me of Canada, and I sit and wonder if the Finns feel the same way about Canada. Finland the land of Nokia, Canada the land of Blackberry.

And you do not get this the same way on commercial social media

h/t thank you and hope you do not mind @korpiojanna and @Tuumaru me sharing your beautiful header images of Finland

#fediverse #mastodon #akkoma #Canada #Finland #socialmedia

Alt...

it is a stand of snow covered pine trees with dying winter wheat or grass or such in the foreground. It is a beautiful header image I was taken aback by it's beauty on the profile of @korpiojanna@mementomori.social

Alt...

a dreamy photo of the aurora borealis with green and purple with a stand of trees in the dark the photo is straight up at the sky and it's very reminiscent of a scene in Canada too, but I imagine it is Finland as it is the header image from @Tuumaru@mementomori.social

⚠️ Hinweis an andere #Fediverse-Admins: Wir sehen gerade eine auffällige Welle automatisierter Fake-Anmeldungen.

Muster:
* Zufallsnamen wie `FadRuwir`, `IpybVoxem`, `FaquCorar`
* Wegwerf-Maildomains wie `qaoloty.com`, `2mail.co`, `onionmail.org`
* auffällig viele Tor-/Proxy-Verbindungen
* 0 Beiträge, 0 Follower
* generische Bewerbungstexte wie „Ich möchte Teil der deutschsprachigen Community werden …“

Besonders perfide: Teilweise werden offenbar echte Bios anderer Fediverse-/Bluesky-Nutzer.innen kopiert. So wirkt die Anmeldung auf den ersten Blick erstaunlich glaubwürdig.

Ein einzelnes Merkmal beweist natürlich nichts. In dieser Kombination sieht es aber sehr nach automatisierter Account-Erstellung aus.

Schaut euch neue Registrierungen derzeit besser etwas genauer an und tauscht Beobachtungen gern unter den Instanzen aus.

the site, with related videos and an autoplay queue.

Search got smarter too. Tags work as search filters now, and you can
filter for videos with subtitles in a language you actually speak.
Results also show which videos have captions before you click.

Related videos are much more on topic these days.

Hi #Fediverse #lawyers. What is your advice/recommendations (classes? certifications?) for a non-lawyer who wants to gain a wider, deeper practical knowledge of US and state #law?

#uslaw

Good morning, #fediverse. Each weekday morning, I drive for an hour and a half. It's easy to not notice the way #nature can create moods and backdrops if you don't look beyond the road ahead.

This morning was foggy, with a clear sky above. The sun kept breaking through while I was driving, and this is probably the best shot I got. Not a bad way to start the day.

Alt...

A warm, golden sunrise is on the horizon, which is illuminating the fog in the foreground, as well as the road I'm driving on. A small row of trees are partially obscuring the full view of the sun.

It's cheaper and easier than you think to create your own @peertube server 🙂

There might be a long game to #AI, #FOSS, and #personalcomputing .

Basically, #capitalism hates how FOSS has "leaked value", and how [home] PCs and local #compute has enabled value streams outside of corporate control.

The #cloud drive was the initial attempt to force the value back under oligopole control, on the hardware side, #socialmedia platforms were the "sugar" software. But even these two in combination failed to completely eradicate free open source and alternatives, as this fine #mastodon platform on the #fediverse proves.

Enter #AI, the perfect weapon. It offers #techbros both tools: A way to dangle the promise of not even needing people anymore to investors, together with a perfect excuse to kill off the foundation that allows people to grow #cyber skills independently of corporate control - the [home] PC - by driving prices for basic tech like storage and memory way past home budgets.

By making a personal computer impossibly expensive to build or own, the base for FOSS erodes quickly. If all available compute is only by cloud supplied services, then any and all development will be beholden to the platform owner.

If you look at it this way, AI makes good sense, but it's only the last nail in a coffin that's been building for a while; the murder of personal computing, and the death of an important freedom.

Digitale Souveränität

Ethik endet nicht offline. Ich habe Amazon, Google & Meta den Rücken gekehrt. 👋 Mein neues Setup: 💻 Linux Mint ☁️ Infomaniak kDrive (Schweiz) 📸 Pixelfed & Mastodon (ohne Algorithmus-Zwang) 🔒 Threema & Signal (verschlüsselt) Digitale Souveränität ist für mich ein ethisches Muss. 👇

@BratschCbra

Den Frust kann ich sehr gut nachvollziehen, sehe jedoch noch viel Anlass zur Hoffnung: Auch nach der Einführung des Alphabet-Buchdrucks im 15. Jahrhundert und der elektronischen Medien im 19. & 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Menschheit jeweils extrem polarisiert, geradezu zerrissen. Und doch ging es weiter - derzeit ja auch hier im Fediverse.

Auf X war der Solarpunk ein Spießrutenlauf, hier setzt er sich durch.

Hey #fediverse what've you been up to?

As fall settles on us here in New Mexico, I've been trying to clean house a bit and get rid of some old projects that either I will not finish or are just taking up space.

In doing so, I spent about three weeks with a #sonos speaker on my bench hooked up to a pair of oscilloscopes, diagnosing the ins and outs of the over-engineered power supply.

It was a fun project for sure, but in the end, I decided to bypass the OEM power board because it was fragile and I was far too lazy to engineer my own replacement (as it would need to fit in the housing as well.

Anyway, how are you all? What projects are you working on?

Let's take a moment to explore the concept of my block list.

"Billy Bob" is like:

> "I like child porn and share photos and videos of child porn."

So naturally, Billy Bob ends up on the block list. But along comes "Mary Sue," and she is like:

> "I support Billy Bob, and I am going to like, share, and boost Billy Bob's post."

So naturally, Mary Sue ends up on the block list. Then along comes "John Doe," and he is like:

> "It is completely unfair of you to add Mary Sue to your block list! Mary Sue is not Billy Bob — and so what if she is liking, sharing, and boosting Billy Bob's child porn post? I do not believe anyone should use your block list, and I insist that people should block you instead."

A wise person sees the problem and knows why all of these people are now on the block list, and why anyone who claims the block list is unfair should also be on the block list. No one should be defending child porn, nor the individuals who like, share, and boost child porn posts, nor should they come to the defense of such individuals while denouncing both the block list and its creator.

I am applying this exact same logic to spammers and scammers. It is not a hard concept to understand, and it is not unfair either — unless you are pro-spammer and pro-scammer.

(Speaking personally, I see scammers as just as bad as pedophiles, because they too often prey upon the weak, vulnerable, and defenseless. Scammers are known to target the young, the elderly, and the disabled.)

@evgandr

I am glad you find my list useful. You're not the only one — there are many.

The big problem here on the Fedi is that it reminds me of the historical build-up to World War II. Before things turned violent in Germany, but when the climate was already bad, people were too fearful to speak the truth out of fear of retaliation.

On the Fediverse, I receive many messages from people acknowledging that the scam group, gaza "verified," is spammy and scammy. But it has become "taboo" to say that out loud because the group has 357 members, plus their dummy accounts and friends, who are never shy about attacking people or dog-piling on them.

They've weaponized!

So, of course, I am going to include the individuals who also promote them, share their spam, and defend them. If you don't want the spam, why would anyone want the people sharing the spam and defending the spam. It is the logical choice!

It is laughable that they claim that's crossing a line.

I use FediLab too (see URL). If I have to self-host this in the future, I may.

Pixelfed is choosing its mission over a quick payday.

Despite receiving major offers, the project is staying focused on building a social platform designed to last — one that can grow to 100M+ users while creating a sustainable model for creators and admins.

In a social media world driven by profit, choosing independence is a powerful statement.

Maybe the future of social media can be built differently.

I've turned down 6 and 7 figure offers, and I'd do it again tomorrow. Some things matter more than a beach and a Peach Bellini.

We're building something generational here. Something that outlives us if we get it right.

100M+ people. Ethically sustainable. Admins and creators get paid.

You deserve better, and we're going to build it together.

⁂ FediForum in Rotterdam 🐁

Exactly like one year ago, @xpub is collectively joining @fediforum on October 6–7!

⛓️‍💥 An opportunity to break the chains of mainstream, centralised, for-profit, proprietary social media, and discover the wonders of the Open Social Web ❤️‍🔥

🆓 The course is covering the attendance fee, therefore, participation is open and free for everyone who will join us in-person from the XPUB Studio!

✨ Please, bring curiosity and 🍜 some food to share, if you’d like to!

ℹ️ All information is kept up to date in this wiki page.

It would be very much appreciated if you can DM me or the XPUB account if you plan to come, so that we can make sure we are able to welcome everyone 🌻

A weird graphic I created in five minutes with random words about FediForum

Hi friends!

Now that littleFedi has been released and new instances are starting to appear, we can focus again on development and testing.

From now on, the littleFedi accounts on this instance will work like this:

The announcement - @littlefedi_official - account will be used for announcements: new releases and important communications. It will be a very low-traffic account, so I suggest following it with some attention. A new build, by the way, is not far away... 😉

There will also be an account dedicated to hints, where we will publish, notice the plural 😏, tips, tricks and useful little things about littleFedi. It does not exist yet, but I will create and announce it as soon as possible.

This account will remain more general, as it is now, although of course it will mainly talk about littleFedi.

This instance will remain our test instance. New builds and new features will be tested here before their public release.

For now, the littleFedi development model will also remain the same: the developers develop, fix, experiment and, when something is ready, a new version is released.

Open Source is freedom, not conformity.

littleFedi has its own history, its own way of growing and its own direction. We will keep following them, without trying to imitate a model just because it is the most common one in the Open Source world.

Open Source was born to let people do things differently.

littleFedi is free.

"Social media algorithms amplify right-wing content against young users’ preference"

https://www.bi.team/press-releases/social-media-algorithms-amplify-right-wing-content-against-young-users-preference-study-finds/

I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user.

Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it.

Almost forgot… about two weeks ago I was talking about to someone about #mastodon / #fediverse / #socialweb after I told the person that I’m no longer on any of the tech-bro social networks. The person said something along the lines of so mastodon users are like Volvo drivers to the social internet.
