I'm trying to write in a way that doesn't make you feel like I'm asking more of you than you can give. I simply need my voice to reach a wider audience because I'm still searching for a real opportunity to help me get through this. If you read my story and feel it deserves to be heard, I would appreciate it if you could quote my pinned tweet and share it in your own words.

I'm trying to write in a way that doesn't make you feel like I'm asking more of you than you can give. I simply need my voice to reach a wider audience because I'm still searching for a real opportunity to help me get through this. If you read my story and feel it deserves to be heard, I would appreciate it if you could quote my pinned tweet and share it in your own words.

Well, I've done it.

For a year & a half, my main Mastodon account on ohai.social was an essential part of my daily browsing, even pinned as an Essential tab in my browser (Zen).

But Mastodon 5.0 is just too problematic. I refuse to keep slogging through all the issues it keeps throwing at me.

And I don't mean only things that are simply different from before; I mean things that are objectively bad.

Including but not limited to (more info in Alt Text):

• Notifications that show not even a single word of the post content they're about.🤦‍♂️
• The always-terrible hashtag autocomplete now also often puts its suggestions right over where I'm trying to type a hashtag, forcing me to 'type blind'!🤦‍♂️
• Blocking me from posting with a "Post can't be blank" error when the post is not blank.🤦‍♂️

So today I removed ohai.social from my Essential tabs. I'll still use Mastodon & ohai.social , just not "directly", instead trying out a variety of front-ends (a.k.a. web clients, i.e. other ways to use Mastodon in a web browser), learning the pros & cons of each, until I find one I can live with. Because I can't live with Mastodon 5.0 the way it is now.

Yesterday tried Elk

• https://elk.zone/home
• https://github.com/elk-zone/elk

Today trying Phanpy

• https://phanpy.social/
• https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy

Others in future:

Nicolium

• https://nicolium.app/

• https://codeberg.org/nicolium/nicolium

• Statuzer

• Columny

• Enafore

I tried out a bunch in the past looking for something suitable specifically for watch parties, as even Mastodon 4.x was terrible when it came to autocompletion of hashtags (a constant & maddening frustration in a live, hashtag-based event like a watch party).

Most weren't right for that usage (for that, since last year I use LiveBlog by @stefan ) but now I'll evaluate them for general daily usage.

I'm even considering moving over to my alt account on Exquisite.social for daily usage, free from Mastodon 5.0, but also so I don't have to break a post like this into a pseudo-thread because of low character limits. Oh, and for that sweet, sweet Markdown formatting 😁. But migrating followed hashtags (I follow 1000's on ohai) seems a PITA.

Either way, no more Mastodon 5.0 for me! 🥳

Alt...

Screenshot of one corner of my web browser (Zen) showing the 9 "Essential" tabs always present. Ohai.social (mainstream Mastodon) was the bottom left one for a long time, but now it's Phanpy.social.

Alt...

Mastodon 5.0 notifications page: now often without a single word of the post the notification is about (just the user it's a reply to). And acres of wasted space instead of what I actually want to see on a notifications page: the notifications!

Alt...

Trying to write a post with a hashtag in Mastodon 5.0, and the suggested tags appear right where I'm trying to type, blocking my view. ("But why can't you just pick one of the suggestions?" Me: "Uh, because there's an 80% chance Mastodon will fuck it up somehow: wrong tag, partial tag, right tag but also another partial tag too even though you picked only one, right tag but now also suggesting another even though you already picked one, so on & so forth".)

Alt...

"Post can't be blank" bug in Mastodon 5.0, preventing me from posting. Even though the post is NOT blank, & the editing window shows content, & the character count shows 118/500. In Mastodon posts, I often link to NeoDB collections (another part of the Fediverse). By default, Mastodon turns that link into a "quote post". I'd rather it didn't (because updates to the collection lead to unwanted/uninformative notifications on Mastodon), so I used to simply "unquote"/"dequote" the link before posting. - In Mastodon 4.x, just click the X at top right of the quote element & post. - In Mastodon-Glitch, just click the X at top right of the quote element & post. - In Mastodon 5.0, click the bin icon at top right of the quote element... and get a "Post can't be blank" error when trying to post. The post is now "unpostable". I have to either: - delete, re-draft & accept the unwanted quote element. - go to another website (a front-end like Phanpy or my alt account on Exquisite.social running Mastodon-Glitch) & post from there with only what I want (no quote element). Well, as I want to post what **I** want, not what Mastodon 5.0 wants, I go to another website. After the 3rd or 4th time running into this issue, I ask myself "Why even bother with Mastodon 5.0 if I have to keep going to another site to post what I want?"

The story of Linux should inspire the Fediverse.

"The year of the Linux desktop" has been a joke for 25 years - a quarter of the century! Yet slowly, and with a persistent following building for linux and supporting it, it's reaching a point where it's no longer something to laugh about - it's a valid choice for many people. Hell, my father (who is 81!) uses ZorinOS, which I installed when windows became too laggy and frustrating for him on his aging PC.

Similarly, if you tell someone that fedi can replace facebook/instagram/x for them, they will probably not take you seriously - most of the people they want to interact with are not here. In the very same way that the apps that people wanted to use on their operating system were not on linux some years ago. Things change - we can change them!

Linux is 35 years old. ActivityPub is less than 10!

Let's build apps and communities for the widespread adoption of the open web, for the fedi revolution. This won't come by itself, we have to prepare it. But we will - we already are!

Today I got my official diagnosis. Asperger's syndrome, at 31.

My feelings about it are mixed. For years I was sure this was not about me, that I was just tired, or difficult, or not trying hard enough. Then about a year ago I hit an autistic burnout, the kind where you cannot pretend anymore, and I started digging into myself for real.

Now there is a piece of paper that says what I had slowly started to suspect. Part of me feels relief, because so many things finally make sense. Another part of me keeps rereading my whole past with this new filter, and that part is not so calm.

I will need some time to sort out what this changes and what it does not.

Zeit, endlich meinen #neuhier Post zu schreiben

Ich bin Anja, habe Kommunikationswissenschaft studiert und an der @tudresden als wiss. Mitarbeiterin gearbeitet. 2017 habe ich das Dresdner Forschungswerk mitgegründet.

Was ich da tue? Ich bin weiter in Forschung und Lehre tätig:

#Forschung: wissenschaftliche #Befragungen (qualitativ & quantitativ) und quantitative Inhaltsanalysen.

In der Lehre bin ich universitär unterwegs, z.B. zu Methoden der empirischen #Sozialforschung oder wissenschaftlichem Arbeiten. Meistens bin ich aber mittlerweile im Bereich #Medienkompetenz und #Medienbildung unterwegs, und gebe an Schulen/Kitas/Horten, in sozialen Einrichtungen oder auf ärztlichen Kongressen Workshops, Elternabende & Fortbildungen rund um Medienthemen, z.B. #Cybermobbing, #HateSpeech, #Desinformation, #Datenschutz im Netz, dem #Fediverse, #Mediensucht, elterliche Medienbildung in der #Familie, u.v.m...

Liebes #Fediverse,

ich bin Daniel Fischer und #neuhier. Aus Anlass des gestrigen #DiDay und auf dringende Empfehlung meiner Nachbarschaft habe ich mich entschieden, endlich auch bei #Mastodon & Co aufzuschlagen.

Gerne möchte ich Euch mein #Restaurant und meine Liebe zum #Kochen näher bringen.

Wer mich in #Dresden besucht, bekommt bei uns möglichst regionale und frische Produkte, teils von Betrieben und Menschen, die ich persönlich seit vielen Jahren kenne und schätze. Das geht auch mal so weit, dass ich die Minze aus dem Garten meines Vaters und Maronen direkt vom Nachbars Baum bekomme.

Mein Team und ich sind seit vielen Jahren eingespielt und verwöhnen Euch immer am letzten Mittwoch im Monat mit einem thematischen #Genussabend! Ob #Spanien oder #Schweiz, ob #Brot oder #Whisky - im Laufe eines Jahres ist für jeden was dabei!

Ich freu mich auf Euch!

As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics.

If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!"

I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?

Folks, please share the link for our Fediverse Multimedia Grants.

We have funding for creators to make podcasts, artist's portfolios, webcomics, music stores, video streams, or brand new kinds of channels here. And we pay developers to help them be successful.

Our deadline is Wed 4 Nov 2026. It only takes a few minutes to apply.

Конкуренты рядом друг с другом не мешают, а делают место привлекательным. Поэтому рестораны собираются на одной улице, а стартапы в одном городе.

Посмотрите, где сосредоточены банки, фонды и брокеры. Это не случайность и не только история. Каждая компания по отдельности понимает, что за пределами финансового квартала ей придётся самой искать клиентов, партнёров и талантливых людей, а внутри квартала всё это рядом.

Поэтому уходить в одиночку невыгодно никому. Теория игр называет такое состояние равновесием Нэша: ни один участник не выигрывает, если меняет стратегию сам, пока остальные остаются на месте.

Так же устроены рынки электроники, ювелирные кварталы и технопарки. Конкуренты рядом, но клиенты приезжают именно туда, потому что знают, что найдут выбор. Место притягивает людей само, и выигрывают все.

Теперь перенесём это на инвестиции. Сейчас проекты и инвесторы разбросаны по десяткам чатов, каналов, групп и площадок. Фаундер пишет в десять мест, инвестор читает другие десять, и они могут годами не пересекаться. Время уходит на поиск, а не на разговор.

Когда проекты и инвесторы собираются в одной точке:
У инвестора больше выбора и меньше времени на поиск.
У проекта больше шансов, что его увидит подходящий человек.
Конкуренция между проектами поднимает планку подготовки, а между инвесторами делает условия честнее.
Каждый новый участник делает место полезнее для остальных.

Разбросанность даёт усталость. Концентрация даёт скорость.
Именно на этой идее мы строим VIR.GROUP: одно место, где встречаются основатели, инвесторы и аналитики, вместо десятков разрозненных площадок.

Мы не обещаем доход и не гарантируем сделки, участие в проектах всегда связано с риском. Но найти друг друга должно быть проще.

А как вы сейчас ищете проекты или инвесторов: в десяти местах или в одном?

@genzregelt Woher weiß man eigentlich, ob ein Mastodon-Account wirklich zu einer bestimmten Person oder Organisation gehört – und kein Fake ist?

Dafür gibt es die Website-Verifizierung. Sie schafft Vertrauen und erschwert Identitätsmissbrauch.

So einfach geht’s:

1. Auf der eigenen Website einen Link zum Mastodon-Profil setzen. Wichtig: Der Link muss das HTML-Attribut rel="me" enthalten.
2. Im Mastodon-Profil die Adresse der Website in eines der Profil-Zusatzfelder eintragen.
3. Speichern. Mastodon überprüft die gegenseitige Verlinkung und markiert den Website-Link bei Erfolg mit einem grünen Häkchen.

Das funktioniert ohne Ausweis, zentrale Prüfstelle oder Gebühren. Es beweist keine bürgerliche Identität, aber dass Website und Account miteinander verknüpft sind.

Dezentrale Vertrauensbildung statt käuflicher blauer Haken!

I’m incredibly frustrated at work right now and I’ll need some like minded support group from the #fediverse

Company: you need to use more AI
Me: ok can I have a subscription license then?
Company: sure here is the very restricted lowest tier
Me: OK what do you want me to do?
Company: Automate everything
Me: thats impossible if your admin doesnt give me the right permissions and the right license
Company: Oh that’s not possible, it costs too much and you shouldn’t have these permissions
Me: why not? The C-Suite does and I’m more technically savvy than them plus youre asking me to do this as part of my role.
Company: Just do it with what you have we don’t have money (reports record profits) if you don’t it will be reflecting poorly on your performance review.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrggggjhhhhhh I hate this, I hate AI

@abekonge @liaizon @niels Jeg synes, at dette er rigtigt svært - for det er virkeligt fedt, at I vil give et bud på et alternativ til #bigtech . Så jeg vil helst ikke bare ødelægge jeres solskin 😊.

Der er mange ActivityPub baserede løsninger, men der er ikke konsensus om det, og når der ikke er konsensus, så er det ikke en særligt værdifuld protokol at læmme sig ind i.

Det er rigtigt, at der ikke er konsensus omkring grupper i #fediverse, men der er flere detaljer end dette. "Offentlige grupper" fungerer ret godt på flere platforme - herunder Friendica og Lemmy. Det er "Private grupper", som ikke er super godt understøttet i #fediverse. Men der arbejdes på løsninger på dette i bla. W3C (jeg kan desværre ikke finde noget link på dette lige nu), som bonfire bidrager til.

Vi kan altid implementere protokoller og broer senere.

Men det er markant sværere at implementere på bagkant end at have en protokol som "first citizen".

Die Stadt Gelsenkirchen legt Ihre Social Media Strategie weiterhin darauf aus "wo die User sind". Und diese sind halt auf Instagram und Facebook. Eine demokratische Alternative wie das Fediverse macht also keinen Sinn. Man hat ja schließlich eine Homepage die man nutzen kann 🤦‍♂️️
Das ist zusammengefasst die Antwort die @Thomas1108 und ich über das "Anfragen und Beschwerden"- Portal der Stadt bekommen haben.

Ziemlich enttäuschend, aber auch nicht anders zu erwarten.

1983 leitete das deutsche Bundesverfassungsgericht aus der Menschenwürde (Artikel 1 GG) und dem Recht auf freie Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit (Artikel 2 GG) das „Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung“ ab.

Ich meine, dass dieses Grundrecht durch KI-Konzerne wie Amazon & Google massiv bedroht wird & empfinde die derzeitige Konzern-Lobby geprägte Bundespolitik als Ausverkauf unseres Mittelstandes (Einzelhandel, Innenstädte) & unserer Grundrechte.

Habe darüber in gleich zwei Videocasts gesprochen & lade bewusst auch zum Dialog im Fediversum darüber ein.

One of the things that have me seriously worried about AI lately is how easy it gets for bots to make Fediverse accounts - they can bypass bot protection guards at registration, as they can act more and more like humans. A mass influx of spambots could seriously bring servers to their knees and make the network unusable. So we need stronger moderation tools!

Our next release will not only have more moderation options per user, but you will be able to apply them to up to 100 accounts at once. I really hope fedi admins won't need to deal with something like that, but it's always better to be prepared to defend your community.

Zum heutigen #DiDay haue auch ich mal mein bisheriges Setup zur Unabhängigkeit raus.
Auf dem #Smartphone nutze ich seit drei Jahren #GrapheneOS mit sämtlichen #OpenSource und googlefreien Apps. Darunter #CoMaps #Droid-ify #AntennaPod #addy.io

Auf dem Laptop läuft seit mehreren Jahren ein #LinuxMint, auf dem Rechner #LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).

Mail-Adresse bei #posteo.de.

Auch beruflich wird auf einem Windows 10-Rechner #OpenSource eingesetzt - als Mail-Client #Thunderbird, als Office-Suite #LibreOffice, als Browser #LibreWolf zum Einloggen, #Tor zum Recherchieren und #Brave als Ersatz, falls Webseiten in Tor nicht laden.

Und natürlich bin ich im #Fediverse aktiv: #Mastodon #Friendica #Pixelfed #Lemmy

Zusätzlich nutze ich eine gehostete #nextcloud der hosting.de GmbH.

I don't know how or why I have an account here (I guess I saw @klu9 do it), but this film frame Fediverse thing is made for me:

(I kid you not, I have 60 GB of movie screenshots)

By the way, what do you mean by

I don't know how or why I have an account here

Do you mean an account on the Threadiverse (Reddit-like systems with threaded conversations in topic-based communities: Piefed, Lemmy, Mbin), or even specifically the Film Frames community on Lemmy.World?

You don't actually need a threadiverse account to see threadiverse posts on Mastodon. (Just one of the ways the different parts of the Fediverse interact through the ActivityPub protocol.)

Threadiverse posts with hashtags will appear on Mastodon, & you'll see them if you follow the hashtag or that threadiverse user (or if a Mastodon account you follow boosts the post). (I don't know if a Mastodon account can "follow" a threadiverse community the way you can follow a hashtag.)

Mastodon users can make posts that will also appear in a threadiverse community but only if formatted in a specific way. But I can never remember how to do it 😅 I think it involves:

• writing the community's name as if it were an account name (e.g. ATfilmframesATlemmyDOTworld).
• making a 1st paragraph of only one sentence which can serve as the post title (a threadiverse requirement).

As I already have Piefed & Lemmy accounts, I just use Piefed & make a post with hashtags if I want a post to be visible on both the threadiverse AND Mastodon. (Mbin is another option, a system designed to blend together both the threadiverse & the "blognetworkverse"(?)(Mastodon, GoToSocial etc))

I want to thank you.

Great update with solid fixes; in addition Pachli now works much faster and smoother. It’s definitely the best Mastodon client. Excellent work!

@Cspan das ist eine Beschränkung, die #Mastdodon hat, aber nicht das #Fediverse allgemein. Mastodon hat ein paar solcher Beschränkungen, bspw. auch, dass nur 4 Bilder je Beitrag hochgeladen und angezeigt werden.

Es gibt auch Mastodon Server, die die Postlänge anders handhaben und mehr Zeichen erlauben.

Es gibt also folgende Möglichkeiten:
1. Suche einen andern Mastdon Server, der mehr Zeichen erlaubt und ziehe dorthin um.
2. Suche dir einen anderen Server im Fediverse, der keine Beschränkung hat oder eine jenseits der paar Tausend Zeichen.
3. Freunde dich mit der Beschränkung an. 😀

People are upset about #proton wanting to use AI more, to cut on costs, make more profits...well, I am not at all. Anyone who trades their product/service is subject to its bad influences. Trade is the origin of most problems as I wrote in this book tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

The longer you play the Trade Game, the more chances to become a shithead. A profiteer. An ego-maniac. One who cares more about making a profit than anything else.

There is a reason why I so desperately talk about "trade trade trade" and how this is an awful game. It is indeed the origin of most of our problems. But too few are listening.

The only way around this is to create Trade-Free services. Like we provide via TROM.tf. We provide file hosting, file sharing, social platforms, video platforms, and so much more. And they are all trade-free, meaning you do not have to give us ANYTHING in order to use them. And so we have ZERO incentive to create shitty services. ZERO.

That's the way.

No "small and honest" business can stay small and honest. They have to pay employees, hardware, rents, etc.. They are entangled with you, the user, who needs to pay them else they are fucked. They need to grow, and lying is a short path to that. Cut costs, abuse their employees, hype their products, etc..

So yah, you want trade-free services? Check our directory of trade-free services and organizations directory.trade-free.org/

Rant done.

Liebes #Fediverse,

wie wir gerade festgestellt haben ist heute unser #Fediversary

Unser erstes Jahr war ein voller Erfolg!

Unser persönliches Anliegen, Euch jeden Monat einen gesellschaftspolitisch nützlichen #Steuer|tipp zu geben, haben wir einhalten können und wir sagen #Danke an unseren Marvin, für seine guten Ideen und die fleißige Unterstützung dabei!

Mit dem #OuPST findet Ihr sofort alle bisherigen 12 Beiträge und natürlich auch alles was in Zukunft noch kommt.

Zudem gab es auch einiges an anregendem und spannendem Austausch mit Euch! Das darf gern so bleiben!

Bezüglich unseres Wunsches aus dem allerersten Post

https://dresden.network/@Obermueller_und_Partner/115482365833988564

#DATEV davon zu überzeugen, auch eine #Software|variante anzubieten, die auf #Linux läuft, sind wir noch mitten drin.

Zum Abschluss der Feierlichkeiten fragen wir mal noch den freundlichen #Bot @fediwrapped_de von @sabrinkmann danach wie das Jahr in Zahlen so aussah. Seine Antwort findet Ihr in wenigen Minuten unten.

Alt...

1 Jahr Alles Gute zum Fediläum! Auf dresden.network bist du seit 1. Nov. 2025 "Teile die Feierlichkeit"
