Fala tropinha!

Bom dia! Vocês conhecem o MOBILIZON?

Trata-se de uma plataforma open source e descentralizada do #fediverse para a organização e divulgação de eventos e atividades locais, criada com foco na privacidade dos usuários e no respeito ao seu tempo.

Lançado em 2019 pela associação francesa #Framasoft por meio de financiamento coletivo, o projeto é mantido desde 2024 pela organização sem fins lucrativos #Kaihuri, apoiada pela fundação #NLNet, cuja pequena equipe de voluntários define os rumos do software em conjunto com uma comunidade composta por milhares de usuários, dezenas de administradores e diversos desenvolvedores, aceitando contribuições diretas e doações financeiras para manter sua independência das grandes redes sociais.

Inclusive, temos uma instância Brasileira desta tecnologia:

https://mobilizon.com.br/

Quer agendar/informar a cerca de algum evento em sua cidade? Use esta plataforma!

Sabia que vc consegue interagir com ela apenas usando #mastodon? Saca só:

Ta vendo essa página? https://mobilizon.com.br/events/8854fb77-59cc-4297-b7da-d6aa14b2d37d nela vc encontra algo como (@info). Você interage a partir disso.

@evan asked

you think the only effect of the Trump administration on the Fediverse was A/I?

They've generated a lot of doom-posting and doom-scrolling, which has probably cost fedi node operators many millions in extra hosting and storage costs, but that's not going to change when the new Congress gets sworn in.

#fediverse #USpoli

There are such cool projects on the Fediverse. Honestly, I don't think there is any social network that can compete. We have microblogging, blogging, videos, audio, events, reviews for books, films and more, podcasts, image sharing, streaming, forums, link aggregators...

But we have mostly been seeing just parts of all this ecosystem, because each project focuses in one or a few of these things. One of our aspirations for Catodon is to bring as many of these features and services together, to the extent that we can keep the platform coherent. We already support many of those, but we still have work to do. We will show you fedi like you haven't experienced it before - at least with only one account!

when i comment on videos, especially videos i post here, i include in the comment that i've posted it on mastodon. or, People were discussing over on Mastodon...

Most of my friends & acquaintances have never heard of Mastodon 😞

in fact, I try to talk about the #fediverse a lot, & mention #Pixelfed & #Loops, and even recommend creators join #PeerTube in my YT comments (esp when they complain about shadowbanning or algorithms)

With tons of blogs with the same handle prefixes this makes your blog hard to mention, and people have to remember and type the full #fediverse handle before it shows up in the account dropdown dialog of the post editor. Just saying.

mementomori.social is 4 years old today! 🎂

On 5 November 2022, we started as a small server for @rolle and his wife @mustikkasoppa, who wanted to distance themselves from Musk's X and Zuck's Meta by self-hosting their own calm, safe and tech-friendly corner of the Fediverse. Four years later, we're home to over 1000 people, companies, associations, authors, bands, bots and everything in between.

The most refreshing thing is seeing an influx of Catalan gardeners here, alongside businesses like a small farm in Airaksela that produces honey, eggs, wool, handmade beeswax candles and goat's milk-honey soap (shout out to @pientilabartos). The point is, we're not just Finnish nerds, we come in all shapes and sizes.

The year 2026 was a big year for us. We founded Mementomori ry, a non-profit association that now owns and runs the instance, so it no longer depends on one person. We have 50 members, 3 admins and 1 backup guy. Membership fees cover all our costs, and thanks to our sponsor @upcloud, our servers run on super fast European hardware in Helsinki indefinitely.

We also made our server cluster portable with open source ansible playbooks, so we're not tied to a single infrastructure and can move elsewhere at any time (not that we will any time soon!). We also have backups in several forms, so we can safely say we're covered in terms of continuity.

Thank you for posting, replying, boosting, reporting and keeping this place warm and welcoming. Here's to many more years, for as long as we mortals draw breath.

@AAKL @Futurism

HOW TO KILL META!
=================

The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.

Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.

Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

Here's a plan of action:

1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )

1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.

1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.

1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.

4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Migration Details:
===============

1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org

2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X

3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:

3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).

3.2 Two internet domains.

3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.

3.4 customer support hotline number.

A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.

Technical Details:
===============

1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )

2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.

3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.

4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.

5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).

6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).

7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

I’m sitting on my floor crying because I don’t have hot water to shower, can’t buy my dogs dog food. I barely have groceries to feed my family. I know times are hard for a lot of people, and I know not everyone has something to spare. But if you’ve ever been in a position where you needed a little help, you understand how much being able to buy groceries can mean. I’m going through a difficult financial situation and trying to get back on my feet while providing for my little family. I’d be incredibly grateful. Cash App: $oh.rebecca77 Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help. ❤️

I often think about how to phrase the #Fediverse to non-Fedi folks and I struggle. We're an #open #social #network #web . it's clunky. What if we're NOT social media or social networking.

We're social messaging. Craft your message in whatever flavor you want, we got it. But your message are yours at any level.

Seeing the #harmony app made me think of it. It's a Fediverse + Discord + more in an easy to install and use package that is familiar to all of these.

#RiffReporter Podcast: Ist #Mastodon das bessere soziale Medium, Felix Hlatky?

#SozialeNetzwerke können schon mal nerven: #Instagram, X oder #TikTok sind voll von Werbung, sie sammeln viele persönliche #Daten und wohin ihre #Algorithmen die Aufmerksamkeit der #Nutzer lenken, ist selten nachvollziehbar. Hinzu kommt allzu oft ein toxisches #Klima, persönliche Angriffe oder sogar die Gefahr, dass die demokratische #Meinungsbildung beeinflusst oder gekapert wird.

Alternative Netzwerke aus dem sogenannten #Fediverse sind ganz anders: Sie bestehen aus vielen unabhängigen Servern, die niemand zentral kontrollieren kann. Das #Fediverse ist frei von Werbung und intransparenten Algorithmen.

Aber: Die Reichweite ist noch immer gering – auch beim größten dieser Dienste, dem #Kurznachrichtendienst Mastodon.

"Barack Obama accepted your follow"

bolha.blog now has approval-based sign-ups ✍️

Starting today, anyone asking for an account on bolha.blog tells us a little about themselves, and the bolha team approves the request before the blog goes live. Just like we already do on bolha.us, bolha.forum, bolha.dev and our other services.

Upstream WriteFreely doesn't have this. Its sign-up is either open to anyone or invite-only.

We built the feature ourselves, and as far as we know bolha.blog is the only WriteFreely instance with moderated sign-ups.

How it works

• Sign-up asks for an email and a reason
• The account stays on hold: it can't log in, and the blog doesn't show up anywhere, federation included
• People with an invite get in right away
• Approval happens on aprova.bolha.io, alongside bolha's other services, and the answer arrives by email

Open source (AGPL)

For anyone running a WriteFreely instance who wants it:

• Patch: https://gitlab.gutocarvalho.net/open/custom/writefreely/-/tree/main/patches
• Source: https://gitlab.gutocarvalho.net/open/custom/writefreely/-/tree/source/v0.17.2-approval
• Image: registry.gutocarvalho.net/images/writefreely:v0.17.2-1042

Want a blog? 👉 https://bolha.blog

Rule 1: You should have to do a 6-month probation if you join on mastodon.social before you're allowed to follow or interact with anyone on other servers

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! 🥳

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?"
