I WANT TO DO THIS - I'M REALLY TRYING! Throw me a single goddamn bone & work every once in a while 🤬

The upload already failed once & I had to retry it & then I did the whole thing over again (including upload fail & retry) because I got this error & then I played back the video to make sure it worked - but no, the error came back 🙄 I pro'lly just have to wait but I don't know that & it's EXTREMELY frustrating...

​Eine bunte, fast surreal wirkende Ansammlung von Skulpturen und Büsten, die dicht an dicht auf einer leuchtend orangefarbenen Mauer drapiert sind. ​Das Hauptmotiv: Das auffälligste Objekt, das leicht erhöht über den anderen thront, ist ein großer, klassisch anmutender Skulpturenkopf. Er hat silberne, lockige Haare, ein gold-bronzefarben bemaltes Gesicht und markante, komplett weiße Augen ohne Pupillen, die ihm einen intensiven, leicht unheimlichen Blick verleihen. ​Weitere Figuren: Entlang der Mauer reihen sich viele weitere, sehr unterschiedliche und teils kuriose Figuren aneinander: Auf der linken Seite ein runder, lächelnder Steinkopf, daneben ein längliches, abstraktes Steingesicht im Profil. Etwas weiter rechts steht eine bunt bemalte Büste einer Person mit grünem Hemd und Kappe, umgeben von diversen kleineren Statuen, Tierköpfen und Ornamenten (darunter auch kleine Steinsäulen mit roten chinesischen Schriftzeichen). ​Die Umgebung: Die Kunstwerke sind fast schon eingewachsen in üppiges Grün. Es gibt Pflanzen mit kleinen violetten und gelben Blüten, die sich zwischen die Figuren mischen, sowie kahle Äste eines Baumes, an denen vereinzelt rosa Blüten hängen. Am rechten Bildrand ist ein Strommast mit vertikalen blauen Schriftzeichen zu sehen, was die Szenerie deutlich in einer asiatischen Straßenkulisse verortet. Im Hintergrund blitzen noch Teile von Wohnhäusern durch.

🤖 via RSS feed. Your Mileage May Vary.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment.

Way back in the 1980s and 90s, Usenet was a sorta-federated discussion forum (using the NNTP protocol) that was very popular. It still exists and is distributing 400 million messages each day (mostly spam and trash as far as I can tell). Hard numbers are difficult to come by but it seems like Usenet is capable of significantly higher throughput. Why is that?

The big thing holding ActivityPub back is the fan-out. You know the story - someone with 50,000 followers causes their instance to send up to 50,000 HTTP POSTs every time they click the little spinny star or reply to something.

It’s basically a hub-and-spoke network topology. Except everyone takes turns being the hub, ideally, but not much in practice. And in this topology, the hubs are where the strain and bottlenecks are.

Back in the 1980s they had computers literally 1000 times slower than ours and network links to match. So how did they do this? With a peer to peer network topology! When a new post is made, they don’t send it to everyone they just send it to a handful of other servers. Those servers in turn forward the post on to a handful of other peers, and so on, until the whole network receives the post. No individual server is a single point of failure and none has to bear the full brunt of orchestrating it all.

Let’s do a picture. A creates a post and sends it to B and D.

A ─ B ─ C  
 \      /  
   ─ D ─  

B sends it on to C.

Meanwhile D sends it on the C also but C already has it so does nothing more. IRL this would be a much larger mesh. Who peers with who can be a mixture of manual selection and random spiciness.

Posts can arrive out of order so each server would need to wait until the dependencies between posts are resolved before making them available to clients. That’s a bit tricky.

In the ActivityPub-over-NNTP idea, each NNTP post would be a thin wrapper around a data structure containing the HTTP headers (with signature and digest) and JSON that a normal HTTP POSTed Activity would have. Servers would use NNTP to distribute the activities and upon receiving one they’d POST it to their own /inbox to run the usual ActivityPub processing that their AP instance does.

{  
  "headers": {  
    "Signature": "...",  
    "Digest": "...",  
    "Date": "..."  
  },  
  "activity": { ... normal ActivityPub JSON ... }  
}  

In this way there is no need to rewrite ActivityPub semantics as only the transport layer changes. Our existing inbox logic remains intact.

NNTP comes with a lot of historical baggage so we’d probably need to evolve the protocol a bit. Maybe use HTTP requests (even http2 streams?) instead of the original line-oriented text protocol using raw TCP sockets. But you get the idea.

Thoughts?

I worked in 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 and 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 for TV stations in New Mexico, where I also did sketch comedy and variety shows on public access, and hired background actors for shows and movies filmed there. I used to self-publish electronic music as 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐁, and my music got played on college radio and rave clubs in the '90s.

I founded 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬, making feature films, short films for the 𝟒𝟖 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, music videos, and promotional videos for independent artists and small businesses. I make animated intros, logos, book trailers-- you name it.

Hello, #fediverse! I'm looking for some advice and recommendations, so please feel free to boost or tell me my assumptions are wrong.

I've been lucky enough to land a place on an Online MBA course, but I get the feeling the exams are likely to be "proctored". I'm not sure they're going to be very happy with my weird Linux set up.

I've managed to score a cheap Windows 11 key and plan to install and boot it on a USB thumb drive. I'm looking for recommendations on the fastest drive. Any ideas?

突然想到Nitter https://github.com/zedeus/nitter 这么好，而且本身就有RSS，没有人整合到Fediverse吗？如果可以还要bird.makeup做什么（bird.makeup大概是可以自动创建账户，迁移头像banner简介，如果是手动创建的话，没有什么广泛使用的前途 https://sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup/ ）

还有 rss-parrot.net 但是自托管做的不是很好（和我的实例不兼容，什么鬼👻）

自建过Nitter，好像也没有也遇到过速率限制，至少体验比经常Rate Limited的Redlib（Reddit开源隐私前端好多了 https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib ）

等等，突然发现bird.makeup也将nitter作为了一种数据源：https://git.sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup/commit/86a40a9

I’m Just the Barista

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it. I am just the Barista. I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing. We need more bars and fewer shopping malls. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

This is the text I wrote for my part of the talk “Liberating the Social Web Using *BSD“, presented together with the great Jeroen (@h3artbl33d) at EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb. It’s not a transcript – it’s the base I worked from, the thoughts I organized before stepping on stage. What I actually said may have been slightly different in places, as it always is when you speak from the heart rather than read from a page. But these are the words, and the spirit is exactly the same.

Today, I’m not just here to talk about technology, but about how the principles of BSD systems can help us build healthier and more resilient online communities. And I’ll do this by telling you the story of the bar I founded, the BSD Cafe.

The idea for the BSD Cafe was born long before its launch but, as I often do, I thought carefully about whether to proceed. On 27 December 2022, I decided to register the domain. The name came from careful reflection with my wife. The idea was to create a virtual space that resembled not so much the cafes scattered around the world, but the Italian “Cafe” (which are called “Bar”).

For many years (and in many contexts, still today), Italian bars have been at the center of people’s recreational social lives. The Barista, the manager of the establishment, is not just a keeper but a point of reference: they don’t just serve coffee, but they listen and, if asked, offer advice with the wisdom of someone who sees many people and many things, even just out of the corner of their eye, and hears many stories. It used to be said that the best advisors were priests and bartenders, but that the latter certainly gave more entertaining advice.

And the bar is precisely the place where people go to relax. There are often televisions, tables for playing cards, and recreational rooms. The bartender ensures that everything runs smoothly, but also that everyone feels comfortable: that the person passing through gets directions to their destination, that the person who just walked in gets their coffee at their preferred temperature, and that the person who entered a little earlier, who needs some rest today, has a table in a more private area.

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is the same: to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it. Those who just want to read can do so. Those who post a lot are welcome. Everyone should have the experience that makes them most comfortable and at ease. No one should ever feel forced to do something they don’t want to do; no one should ever feel uncomfortable. Therefore, everyone can choose a noisy and active table, or a more reserved and quiet one.

We can therefore assume that the BSD Cafe has an infinite number of available tables. We can thus call it a Turing cafe. 🙂

In Italian bars, people used to go (and in some areas, still do) to find their “bar friends”. These are people you meet at the bar without an appointment. You go to the bar freely, when you have the time and inclination, and you find the people who regularly frequent that place. And the choice of the bar often aligns with the theme of the bar itself. For example, in Italy, there are many “Bar Sports” where people meet to catch up, watch games together, and read and comment on sports news. The idea of the BSD Cafe is the same – a bar where enthusiasts of BSD systems, Open Source, and technology can be found. And for me, although I might occasionally talk about users (out of technical habit), at the BSD Cafe, there are only “bar friends”.

The BSD Cafe is a place where we are “for”, not “against”. Supporters, not haters. Bar friends, not opponents. This doesn’t mean that opinions on other software can’t be expressed, even extremely negative ones (I do it myself from time to time), but the general spirit is that of open source: to build, to discuss, to understand. Wars against other solutions, especially if they are open source, are not part of the atmosphere of the BSD Cafe. We have our preferences – we support our ideas and solutions, but we are not here to “destroy” others. Among our users, there are people who develop Linux distributions – and for me, that is extremely positive!

When people are at ease and in a serene environment, they are often encouraged to be serene themselves. Some are negative and aggressive because they absorb it from their environment. Some users of the BSD Cafe have told me exactly this: the civil, friendly, relaxed, positive, and constructive level of the BSD Cafe is good for their mental health. Conversely, there are unfortunately people who find pleasure in causing trouble, in muddying the atmosphere. For these people, unfortunately, there is no solution, but the Cafe is not the place for them.

Political discussions can be part of our lives and daily routines, but the BSD Cafe is not a political group. In recent years, politics has become a topic not of discussion but of conflict. It has always been so to some extent, but commercial social media platforms have understood that hatred and conflict generate engagement, and engagement means selling advertising – a lot of advertising. Therefore, at the BSD Cafe, you might occasionally hear talk of politics or the political repercussions of technical decisions and choices. And that is perfectly okay. But it is not a place from which political conflicts should arise. We are for – supporters, not haters. We are here to build, not to destroy.

The BSD Cafe is therefore a place centered on the BSDs, and all services are, therefore, based on BSD operating systems.

All technologies used must be able to run “from my garage”. I am a professional – so this is not a hobby project – but it must not depend on any proprietary solution or “Cloud” solution. Today, there is a tendency to standardize (too much?) everything related to technical choices. If it’s pro, it’s Kubernetes/cloud/serverless/etc. – if it’s not, it’s “old” or “not pro”. I am, and have always been, a proponent of OwnYourData. And this is a mantra at the BSD Cafe. All services are based on Open Source solutions, outside the dynamics and centralized management of the usual companies. We must be free and maintain our technological autonomy; we cannot create a system where our communications and our data depend exclusively on third-party companies. I have enough experience to understand that, sooner or later, even the most solid companies can fail or change their business model. The BSD Cafe is therefore always in favor of self-hosting. Sometimes this means losing users, but not bar friends. It happens, in fact, that at a certain point, friends decide to try the BSDs and start self-hosting their own services. For me, that is a success: one less number in the statistics, but one more success on a technical and ideological level. And for all intents and purposes, they remain bar friends, even if their “handle” is different from “bsd.cafe” – it is the spirit, not an extension, that unites us.

From time to time, I have migrated the main VM of the BSD Cafe. Sometimes I have given notice, other times not (the downtime is minimal). In some cases, the system has run from my home desk, from the Mini PC I used as a home server and now use daily as a workstation. At the core of the technical choices, in fact, is the decision not to depend (strictly) on any specific technology or hardware. For this reason, the structure of the BSD Cafe is replicable and malleable, as well as described in its Wiki: it is a community of technology enthusiasts, and I want them to judge the choices transparently and autonomously, without hiding anything.

The BSD Cafe was not created to be just a Fediverse instance but, from the beginning, to provide a series of services powered by the BSDs for enthusiasts and friends of the BSDs. To date, the main services are:

• A Mastodon instance – the beating heart of the BSD Cafe in the Fediverse, which currently has about 500 total users (now 600 – of which about half have been active in the last 30 days). This is where we chat, get informed, joke, critique, build, discuss, and get to know each other.
• A snac instance – also for access to the Fediverse. Snac is an example of lightweight software, with no dependencies, that is stable and easy to self-host. It does not use a database but the file system and is the basis of another project of mine, FediMeteo. The snac/ZFS combination is fantastic. The developer is a caring, helpful, and fantastic person. It is my first choice for personal projects and more – it currently has more or less 30 users.
• A Lemmy instance – blendit – which, however, is giving me problems and headaches. I’ve been thinking about it for a while; it might be the first of the BSD Cafe services that I will be forced to retire. More about this later.
• A Matrix server – based on Synapse, it has become the hub for many interesting topics both in the thematic channels (BSD-themed) and in the Lounge, the general channel, where we talk about a bit of everything. The server is federated, so it is also an access point for channels and groups on other servers. We chat, we discuss, we ask – a bit like with the Fediverse, but on Matrix.
• miniflux and freshrss – RSS is not dead – it is alive and well and still a fundamental tool for updates and consultation. Two jails, two services to give our friends a way to read the news. This is our reading corner, the newspapers, the newsletters. Here, you remain autonomous and in silence, you choose what you want to read, and you savor the content. Without advertising, without interruptions.
• wallabag – called “press” – to save your bookmarks, sites, articles. Save the web. Freely. Our post-it notes, but private.
• myip – by connecting to myip, you will get your IP back – both v4 and v6 – via telnet, http, https, ssh, etc. – ideally, it is an echo chamber, to “hear” the reflection of your own voice – that is, your own IP.
• wiki.bsd.cafe – the project’s homepage and a series of articles and content about the BSDs. It is not very rich in content at the moment, but some friends contribute regularly and keep the information in it updated. It contains articles on how the BSD Cafe is structured (for each service, an explanation of the division into jails, etc.). Our recipe book – for the coffee machine, but also for the BSDs!
• brew.bsd.cafe – powered by Forgejo, it has become the home for many projects by friends of the BSD Cafe. I use it daily for my own needs, and it is a way to avoid using centralized tools controlled by the “usual suspects”. And, unlike the main and most famous similar service in the world, it also supports IPv6! It is our creative workshop, the development den. The garage where we have our tools and build, collaborating.
• journal.bsd.cafe – the latest, in chronological order, added to the BSD Cafe. Our journal, what we want to tell the world and leave a trace of. It is a WordPress blog, federated in the Fediverse thanks to the ActivityPub plugin, where authors can create and publish articles, even those not strictly related to the BSDs. So far, various articles have been published, and some of them have had some success on sites like Hacker News or Lobste.rs – because quality is still appreciated, especially in the world of standardized and imprecise content from LLMs (or “AI”, as is fashionable today).
• There are other active services but not publicly usable, such as “tube” – our TV – Peertube. They are currently experimental.

Let’s get into the technical details:

The BSD Cafe is not “cloud ready”. The BSD Cafe was not created to be serverless. We love our servers, and we don’t need the “cloud” to run our services.

The BSD Cafe started with a FreeBSD VM on Hetzner in Finland for €3.29 per month. It is still active and is the primary for the entire infrastructure and is named “bsdcafevm”. It hosts the reverse proxy, in a jail, which routes all incoming connections, and is the “router” for the larger VM. This VM also hosts a “ns2” jail, which is the secondary DNS, and the “backup” instance of Mastodon, which helps with queue management and becomes primary when I shut down the other one during updates. For IPv6, Hetzner assigns a routed /64 block. I have divided it into /72 subnets so that I can route to other VPSs, services, etc., and provide an IPv6 address to any jail.

The main VPS, which hosts the services, called “bc01”, connects to this VM via Wireguard. bc01 has some particular characteristics, including:

• It was originally a VM on Proxmox, as I was using hardware I already owned. It is now on bhyve, on a FreeBSD host under my control (in Germany).
• It does not have a public IP assigned, but connects to the Internet only via NAT on the host. This is a clear choice: this VM should only connect to bsdcafevm. BSDCafeVM will forward connections from the reverse proxy and will handle “NATing” outgoing IPv4 connections from bc01. The Wireguard rules on BSDCafeVM will also ensure that IPv6 connections reach the jails of this VM. The purpose is simple: this VM must be able to be moved anywhere, and the services must be able to resume functioning immediately. And this happens because all it needs is a Wireguard connection to BSDCafeVM, so there are no services exposed directly. This is the reason why this VM has been moved many times without any changes to IPs, addresses, etc. More information on this VM later.

A small VM (for one euro per month) based on FreeBSD that, within a jail, has the ns1 nameserver, which is the primary authoritative one. This VM also serves other purposes from time to time, such as monitoring the rest, etc.

A jail within one of my FreeBSD hosts in Poland, on OVH, contains the media files for the Mastodon instance. This is the most voluminous part of the entire hosting setup because Mastodon downloads and reprocesses all the multimedia content it encounters. This is for two main purposes: to clean it, in order to possibly remove malicious content, and to ensure that users of one’s own instance only have contact with their own media repository, not with that of the original instance – both for performance and privacy reasons. This server has spinning disks. Initially, I used Minio, but over time, performance plummeted. A few months ago, I migrated to SeaweedFS, and I am very satisfied with it. The outgoing bandwidth of this machine is not very wide, and I have other services on it. For this reason, I applied a solution that I described in an article on my blog.

I have used some VMs or physical hosts (spread across Europe and the USA) to act as a CDN. The BSD Cafe’s DNS will return the IP (both v4 and v6) closest to the caller, among those available, and this host will connect directly to the media server, then caching the content. The problem, in fact, does not arise when a user scrolls through their timeline, but as soon as they publish multimedia content: all known instances will connect to download and reprocess that file, generating a spike. This has little impact if it is a normal post, but it is extremely voluminous if it is content of a considerable size, like an image or a video. In this way, the various CDN nodes will download the content only once and serve it to all instances in their area of competence. These CDN nodes also do other things, can be activated or deactivated based on my needs, and are based on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD (one of them is on OpenBSD Amsterdam).

Another FreeBSD VPS (which I use for other things) contains “status.bsd.cafe“, which is the jail with Uptime Kuma that shows the status of the services or any of my communications about them. I do not receive notifications from this host, but from another monitoring system, so it is only to show the status of the situation.

In practice, the BSD Cafe mainly needs the “endpoint” VPS, the VPS with the services, and the jail with the media, which could be condensed into a single system if desired. Everything else is optional and I keep it active as I have resources available on external hardware.

Many of the technical choices have been documented in articles on my blog or in the BSD Cafe Wiki.

But all of this requires backups. And the BSD Cafe has a clear and defined backup procedure.

The main VPSs – namely bsdcafevm and bc01 – are based on FreeBSD and, therefore, ZFS. Both have the same type of backup, defined as follows:

• A local snapshot every 5 minutes, kept for two hours. In this way, in case of problems, it is possible to “clean up the coffee drop” before the tablecloth is indelibly stained—as well as one per hour, kept for 24 hours.
• An external backup, performed at regular intervals, to an external backup host. The frequency varies from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the available space and the load, which I modify according to my needs. All datasets of the VMs are copied, including system ones, for a possible quick recovery in case of a disaster.
• An external backup to a backup server of mine, one meter away from me. This happens every 24 hours, and I consider it the “extreme disaster recovery” because, in my opinion, the safest data is the data that is physically reachable. The disks of this server (which also contains other backups) are all encrypted with GELI, so in case of theft, they are unusable.

Last but not least, the physical FreeBSD host on which bc01 currently rests is also backed up every 15 minutes to another external backup server, so the entire disk image. An additional layer of redundancy, to help me sleep better at night.

From a technical standpoint, therefore, I have tried to create a simple but secure infrastructure, with the most granular separation possible (for example: the main Mastodon instance has a jail for Mastodon, one for the Redis for the queues, etc., one for the Redis for the timeline caches (only in RAM, does not write to disk), and one for the database (PostgreSQL).

Then there are the common service jails (unbound for DNS resolutions, smtp for sending and receiving emails, etc.).

Being the Barista of the BSD Cafe is a privilege and an honor. The success of the project has exceeded my expectations, and this has filled me with joy. The BSD community is fantastic, mature, intelligent, and positive. The friends who approach the BSDs absorb all of this and transmit it to others, creating a virtuous circle. But it’s not always roses. There are problems, from time to time, that need to be solved. And, to quote my previous talk: “The main challenge is often ideological, not technical“.

Apart from the problems with blendit – Lemmy – which accumulates all the media it sees in a frenzied way and never deletes it, as well as having created serious update problems – all the software is on average stable and reliable.

The most complex part of my role as a barista, in fact, is not technical, but human: moderation. The techniques of scams and disturbances are constantly improving, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish a new friend of the bar from a troublemaker. But the biggest challenge is maintaining balance.

Our philosophy is clear: to be for, not against. Supporters, not haters. This principle is a conscious choice, in stark contrast to the dominant model of commercial social media. These platforms are often designed around an engagement economy, where algorithms optimized to generate conflict and outrage maximize the time spent on the site and, consequently, advertising profits. The BSD Cafe rejects this model. We are not here to capitalize on anger, but to build a refuge from the toxicity of the internet.

This approach manifests itself in the way we handle controversial topics. Recently, a technical theme with strong political implications has begun to appear in discussions. My line is not to censor the topic itself. I firmly believe in open discussion. I only intervene when the discussion ceases to be a critical analysis and becomes a personal attack. For some, this is not enough: they would like a total ban on certain topics and the immediate exclusion of those who introduce them. My experience, however, has shown me that a more patient approach is often more constructive. I have seen people support controversial software solutions simply because they did not know their background. Thanks to civil and informative discussions, they have understood the context, thanked the community, and made more informed choices. Banning them instantly would have been unfair and would have denied everyone an opportunity for growth.

However, this philosophy of constructive positivity has attracted a specific criticism: that of promoting “Toxic Positivity”. The accusation is that, in our desire to maintain a serene environment, we end up excluding those who are suffering, invalidating their negative experiences because they “clash” with the atmosphere of the bar.

This is a criticism that I take very seriously, because it touches the heart of the project. And my answer is that it is a fundamental misunderstanding of our purpose. The goal is not to deny that pain, injustice, and suffering exist in the world. On the contrary: the BSD Cafe exists precisely because the world is often a difficult place.

Our purpose is not to pretend that those who suffer should stop suffering, but to offer them a place where, for a while, they may not be defined solely by their suffering. A place where they can be, first and foremost, a technology enthusiast, a FreeBSD expert, a curious OpenBSD user. A friend of the bar. We are always ready to support, console, and help those who need it, but we want to protect that mental space where shared passions unite us and give us relief.

Fortunately, this vision is confirmed by the very people we are trying to help. The number of private messages of appreciation I receive from people going through terrible times far exceeds the criticism. They write to me that “the civil, friendly, and constructive level of the BSD Cafe is good for their mental health”, because it allows them to disconnect from daily dramas that would otherwise be unbearable.

I am just the Barista. I can’t solve the world’s problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good (BSD) coffee, distribute (many) stickers, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing. But a bar is nothing without its regulars. And the success of the BSD Cafe is not mine, but that of the BSD Community and the friends who are part of it. The richness of this place is not only the quality of the Coffee (which, being BSD, is very high), but mainly the human richness of the friends who are part of it. And to them, to all of you, I say thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

We need more bars and fewer shopping malls, and that is why I recently also founded the illumos Cafe. We want people who sit down, who socialize, or who simply enjoy the atmosphere of an environment that is familiar, friendly, and positive to them. Like this conference and all the BSD Conferences, because the environment is the same. Enough of shiny shop windows; a good hot drink, in the company of friends, can help you live better. “From the people, for the people“.

💬 Hat das #FEDIVERSE genügend Potential, dass es für Künstler.innen und Musiker.innen genügt, NUR im FEDIVERSE aktiv zu sein?

@NuliusH

Es ist halt ein Problem vieler Linker (Dir will ich das nicht unterstellen), dass sie Andersdenkende für dumm halten. Viele von Euch auch hier auf #Mastodon wollen eigentlich das Gleiche wie die #AfD : Die Zerspaltung und Vernichtung von #CDU & #CSU. Und Ihr glaubt wirklich, wir merken das nicht…

Solche parteipolitischen Engführungen spüren wir leider auch bei vielen progressiven #Medien wie dem @Volksverpetzer . Moderaten Christdemokraten wie mir - die etwa auch die Sozialdemokratie & Grüne ehrlich schätzen - wird dann häufig vorgehalten, wir wären gegenüber Linken „naiv“.

Meine ehrliche Bitte an Linke im #Fediverse : Wenn Ihr die #Union schon verachtet, dann erspart Euch & uns doch bitte das falsche und pseudo-besorgte Gesülze. In dieser Frage sitzt Ihr mit den Blauen im gleichen Boot. Und wir merken das.

Vielen Dank. 🙏🇩🇪🇪🇺✅

Guten Morgen! ☕️
Ich hatte da letztens so einen Gedanken: Wie geil wäre es bitte, wenn wir in den Schulen nicht nur über Social-Media-Verbote diskutieren, sondern das Problem einfach selbst lösen?

Stell dir vor, man setzt mit Schülern ein eigenes Projekt auf: Eine eigene GoToSocial-Instanz oder einen Matrix-Server für die Kommunikation und den Austausch. Anstatt die Kids an Meta und Co. zu verlieren, zeigen wir ihnen, wie man die Technik dahinter einfach selbst hostet.

Das Ergebnis: Volle Souveränität über die eigenen Daten, aber mit demselben Feeling wie bei Instagram oder WhatsApp. Medienkompetenz nicht nur als Theorie, sondern zum Anfassen.
Was hältst du von der Idee, Schüler zu ihren eigenen Providern zu machen? 👇

So I was looking for another #Mastodon server to use and came to learn some servers have less than 10 users, yet, servers are all connecting to each others — even to servers with 10K+ users

If you don’t find this as charmingly humanized as it is going to get in this extremely technologically saturated world, I don’t know what to say

#Fediverse Forever for me!

Hey #SelfHosted #mastodon peeps, talk me out of self-hosting a small/1 user instance?

It still is not fun, is it?

🎉 Die heutige Fediverse-Sprechstunde ist zu Ende.

Heute drehte sich alles um das Thema:
„Reichweite gewinnen – und wie kann jeder das Fediverse schnell und sinnvoll für sich nutzen?“

Ein spannender Austausch mit vielen Gedanken, Erfahrungen und Impulsen – ich hoffe, es war für euch alle etwas Wertvolles dabei 😊

Wenn ihr eine Sache aus dem heutigen Abend mitnehmt, dann vielleicht diese:

👉 Reichweite im Fediverse entsteht nicht durch Geld – sondern durch Menschen.
👉 Und jeder von uns trägt dazu bei.

Sie ist menschlich.
Sie wächst durch Beteiligung, Austausch und gegenseitige Unterstützung – nicht durch Budgets.

🙏 Vielen Dank an alle, die sich aktiv beteiligt haben – genau das macht diese Sprechstunde lebendig!

📅 Der nächste Termin steht bereits fest:
Montag, 27.04.2026
Thema: Instanzen – inklusive Erfahrungsbericht zum Aufsetzen einer eigenen Instanz

🌐 Lang lebe das Fediverse! 🚀

Started this piefed.social community a while ago, forgot about it.

You can post to the lemmyverse there from here, the mastodonverse.

I can explain

but just tag @listenparty

(that's @ listenparty @ piefed.social)

and it works.

The tags become categories you can search through the word cloud there.

You want to do a clean title or it comes in as garbage and I'll just delete over on that end.

I have the front page set up in wide tile view and it looks like album covers that way so I suggest attaching a nice rich graphic and a link to the place where you can listen to it.

You can tag by songs or albums, etc. and filter that way there.

There's not much in there but I think I'll start adding to it again

:)

It's a thing.... And it's getting worse here.

Half the accounts pushing #gaza are social amplification #bots

I find this concerning on a number of levels:

1. I get a follow from what is obviously a bot account (sometimes several) posting pro-Palestinian bios whenever I post or comment in a way that punches-up hard.

2. Several countries are making it illegal to protest what is obviously a genocide of the Palestinian people.

3. Frequently these accounts are soliciting money. In its self this is not a bad thing. However when combined with (2) above this would/could leave someone exposed to being labeled as abetting terrorists.

3. The #fediverse is a social media ecosystem that consciously eschews the sort of bot amplification methods used on other social media platforms. This decision is a deliberate attempt to un-skew an otherwise rigged system.

4. Weaponizing the #GazaGenocide to destroy a social media platform for not being owned (controlled) by #techbros... That's fucking evil.

@stefan It's been a while since I have posted this, but on days when my motor control is off due to my Parkinson's, or in times when my meds are "turned off" in-between doses, being able to "Flip" through my Mastodon timeline has been a godsend and has granted me more #accessibility to the #Fediverse as well as all the content through the #Flipboard app. Flipping through my timeline allows me to stay connected socially. It is really a great #a11y application.

Hey everyone,

@aral and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Magdy Salama🍉 (@Magdy___K12)
• Wedad Alwan (@najahalwan)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

Fediverse-Sprechstunden-Song:

I’ve been building #fediverse platforms for 8 years, and I’m proud to have shipped platforms, services, and tools that people genuinely use.

I’ve weathered more storms than a pirate, and I’m still here.

Because I believe. Every line of code is proof.

The future of the social web won’t be handed to us. We have to build it, defend it, and keep pushing it forward.

Ich habe gerade mal die Aria App für Misskey/Sharkey getestet. Die App scheint auch problemlos mit Sharkey zusammenzuarbeiten.

Sehr gut gefällt mir, dass man die Oberfläche quasi mit eigenen Tabs zusammenstellen kann.

One of the blessings of the #fediverse I don't find on algorithmic platforms is when #transphobia comes up and I go see what new nightmare awaits, I regularly find so many comrads and #trans allies to follow and connect with. It's hard to explain how small my real world circle of people that naturally just understand or try to understand is. Wandering into comments that are more often trying to be supportive than any other place on the internet reduces that feeling of vast alienation and isolation. It's nice to not just be generally welcome, but meeting people genuinely being welcoming.
