We frequently observe numerous sites across the Fediverse running very outdated versions of Mastodon or Misskey. Some sites are even using versions over a year old.

Software updates include not only new features but also critical security fixes. To keep your site secure and stable, ensure you always use the latest version.

Who counts as human? Throughout history, one all too common thread is that groups of people often do not believe that other groups of people are also #human. If we evolved apart so that we were different species, would we recognize our shared humanity? For this years #FediBookFair I’m offering free copies of my just released novel HUMAN to all #FediHumans . Just go to https://bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.html and use the code ‘fedihuman’.

Out of my over 150 friends back on Facebook, only 3 ever reach out to me. Quite a few of those people I knew for 15+ years.

I didn't leave the mainstream socials to gain a feeling of moral superiority. I left because, for me, it was the right thing to do.

Doing the right thing can be a lonely path.

#Socials #Mastodon #Sharkey #Fediverse

More & more I feel that the #fediverse is a kind of bomb shelter for the last survivors of the Internet. So much of it is utterly useless or unusable thanks to big tech & #AI and that's not going to change. And #Bluesky is not the answer.

Is it perfect? Seamless? Easy? Nope. But humans are messy. I'll opt for messy and human, thanks.

I can’t keep up with @Mastodon anymore. The signal to noise ratio is completely off in my timeline. Anyone have any #tips or #suggestions for how to improve that? #fediverse #mastodon

I'm currently trying to start a group chat. I don't want to use discord, but maybe something with similar features could be useful. So I hear [matrix] is probably the best alternative to that???? At least it's one I've heard about from being in the fediverse (which is annoying and at times complicated to use tbh, even after having cleared the biggest hurdle of getting started).

So then matrix.org tells me that the easiest way to start is to just join their big group. Which seems to defeat the purpose of being federated???

I have questions like: What are the pro's and con's of using the biggest instance/provider/whatever the heck it's called?

Is it going to be slower for being in a different country?

Will the privacy laws of different countries between provider and me and group members affect us?

Do I have to pay for making a group happen? Am I planning on "hosting" a group? Or does "hosting" mean something coding/programming related and not the social thing of "I'm the host and invite people over to my house as guests for a dinner party (except virtually)"? I DONT KNOW

Would using the biggest provider be free but other providers cost money? (What exactly are they charging for? Using discord doesn't cost money, do these alternatives?)

Will people on matrix.org SEE my public group when they search for groups?

It's not impossible to find these things out despite not being a programmer, but like. Really fucking hard.

Why is it always so hard

I’m hoping to connect with others who’d like to explore how we can launch an initiative to help and motivate #Dutch #academia to join the #Fediverse.

#OpenScience needs open social networks - transparent, interoperable, community-controlled.

There's growing momentum for #DigitalAutonomy in Dutch #HigherEducation and last Friday's @OSFNL showed amazing open science energy across NL. Let's channel that!

Tech people talk about tech too much.

I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.

And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.

It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.

For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.

I am so lost, every single time.

I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.

I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.

My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things.

Hallo #Fediverse, ich bräuchte mal die geballte #Fedipower von euch. Es geht um das Thema #Paperlessngx. Ich bin mal wieder am Überlegen mir Paperless-ngx zu installieren und einen Workflow für mich auszudenken.
Allerdings würde ich zum Speichern gerne ein #NAS verwenden. Daher die Frage: Ist es möglich für die in Paperless-ngx abgelegten Dokumente ein #NAS als Speicherort zu verwenden? Das NAS selber bietet leider keine Möglichkeit, Paperless-ngx zu installieren.
Gerne darf diese Frage geteilt werden. ::

Morning all my #Fediverse friends. How are y'all? Any great plans for this wonderful Friday?

I am just at the usual work. I am hoping to get some of my personal stuff done today. ;) I am working on a project I think some of you might like.

#GoodMorning #KoffeeWithKyle #MorningHandShake #DailyBootup

Der Staat förder nur Businessmodelle.

Die Forderung der Staat solle die Entwicklung des Fediverse fördern, bedeutet zu Ende gedacht, dass aus dem Fediverse das selbe Werbe- und konsumzentrierte Netzewerk wird wie fascebook, insta & co derzeit sind.

Es wird zu oft verkannt, das Staaten, Nationalstaaten Hand in Hand mit dem Kapitalismus einher gehen.

Ja auch im Sovjetkommunismus oder der Sozialismus der DDR war Staatskapitalismus.

#Fediverse #Debatte

#fediverse #gotosocial #snac2 #android

anyone having a working #activitypub instance on an unrooted smartphone ?

@oblomov I think @tusooa was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see merge request); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.)

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others!

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features.

I barely interact with the non-Brazilian Portuguese speaking fediverse. Also, since I'm on my personal instance and too distant from the main flagship instances it means that I'm almost always "protected" from major issues most people suffer from.

Brazilians are very united on fediverse and I like it, but I' m afraid I'm not exposed to the majority of possible experiences opting to stay away from the English speaking community and I would like to change this.

I'm an IT/Ops person (ex-sysadmin, went through SRE and now working on Platform Engineering) and would like to interact more with the broader fedivese.

If you are interested, feel free to follow me so I'll follow you back. Also, please boost for an increased chance of me changing the current situation :-)

Would especially like to know about general servers that aren't aimed at a specific niche.

Is there a reasonably accurate way to identify what #fediverse platform a server is running?

Interesting. WordPress and Ghost now make up more than half of all fediverse servers. (Not in terms of number of accounts, just a server count.)

New Loops app search

You may notice the Follow button on Loops.video is clickable even when logged-out.

I added a modal that explains how to remote follow, isn't that neat?

What a feeling...

Finally seeing federated interactions with loops.video content 🥹

I promised this nearly a year ago, and it's now here.

The new Loops app is even better, stay tuned 🚀

Seems like loops.video finally got updated.

I just logged in to my account to take a look. As I do not have much time to look around I only verified my login and checked the general page structure.

Can't wait to upload some videos there. Thank you very much @dansup and team for creating this fediverse addition.

If you search a TikTok or youtube shorts alternative, give Loops a try.

Elon Musk's new alt-truth Wikipedia fork is live and has quite a thorough "article" on the #fediverse that has some funny claims:

"Empirical data highlights low cross-instance engagement, with studies noting asymmetrical and infrequent interactions even between major platforms like Mastodon and Threads, where outbound engagements dominate but inbound responses lag."

Because I like torturing my Pentium Pro, I'm mentioning this one here. Just in case it should be of interest to anyone. Beware of the slightly nsfw second post in the thread. It's late, my boss is visiting, I had a few beers. It seemed like a good idea at the time. ;)

Steering Committee of the Federated Video Co-op Initiative has published its Founding Framework—a working draft that defines our purpose, mission, vision, and values.

It lays the groundwork for a sustainable, community-owned alternative to corporate video platforms—one that empowers creators, respects audiences, and keeps the infrastructure of online video in the hands of the people who use it.

📄 Read it online (Proton Drive):

Fediverse Report 139 - this week's #fediverse news:

- on how the environment and context in which the fediverse, bluesky and the open social web exist is changing and getting more intertwined with politics
- some thoughts on the recent FediForum keynote by @ben
- new #activitypub projects being funded by @nlnet

Gen Z doesn't want your Twitter clone lol.

They've already chosen: Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok. That's their language.

If the fediverse stays stuck building for our generation, we've already lost.

They need alternatives built for them, not us.

Good thing we've got Sup, Pixelfed and Loops fr fr 💯

#fediverse #noCap

Loops will do for the fediverse what the iPhone did for smartphones.

It's not just open and federated — it's gorgeous.

That combination is unstoppable. Young creators want freedom, not overlords — we're stealing an entire generation from Big Tech.

Welcome to the next chapter of the social web.

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.
