Yesterday X accounts of many LGBTI+ organizations are closed in Türkiye. So today we are going to continue our Fediverse migration campaign for queer communities in Türkiye. We are going to suggest safe #Fediverse #instances for them. Do you have any suggestions? And would invite-only instances like to help this cause?

Der Anspruch, eine Plattform für alle sein zu wollen, ist zwar begrüssenswert; Aussagen wie „Auch Alice Weidel ist bei uns willkommen“ sorgen zwar für Aufmerksamkeit, aber nicht für Vertrauen.

Generell scheint es der inhaltliche Mehrwert von #WSocial momentan nicht zu rechtfertigen, deswegen seine Identität überprüfen zu lassen und damit seine Online-Anonymität aufzugeben.

Wer eine offene europäische Lösung sucht, ist mit #Eurosky und/oder #Fediverse besser bedient.

Was ich immer versuche zu vermitteln, dass dir hier nicht ein Algorithmus irgendwelche (häufig alte) Beiträge in deine Timeline spült - und dir so ein Gefühl gibt von "hier läuft aber was" -, sondern du mit aktiv sein musst, wenn du willst, dass etwas läuft.

Surrounded by lively orange, pink, and purple flowers, the tiny bird brings energy and movement to the composition while soft blue tones create an airy garden atmosphere. The playful colors and painterly style capture the beauty of summer gardens in full bloom

A quick overview of the asterisms in the LettError fonts. All new titles have have the symbol and I will add them to older ones when useful. I prefer the asterisk with 5 strokes. For LTR Very Bauble the bottom asterisks are rotated inward to create the triangular counter. This is a pretty illusion. For CT Action Grotesque the legibility at 7pt was more important. It is a complex shape and I want to it do its job at scale. By moving the bottom asterisks outward, they create some room for the top asterisk. The whole symbol becomes a bit wider, especially in the heavier weights. Click on the images to 👀 inspect details, some nice outline details in both typefaces, if that is your cup of tea. #fediverse #asterism #fonts #typedesign

Huge thanks to @McPringle for @fitpub - I'm genuinely inspired by the project.

Tested it locally today, and I'm planning to deploy on Infomaniak KaaS. My goal is to make self-hosting FitPub simpler, so I packed in plenty of quick-start commands and solid docs.

That's why I was quiet on Codeberg this weekend 😅

Weil ich hier immer wieder mal lese, dass manchen FedinautINNEN das #Fediverse zu weit links und/oder zu grün wäre:

Nein, das ist es nicht. Der Teil des Fediverse, in dem ihr euch aufhaltet, der ist eher links/grün und hier sind auch gemäßigte Konservative unterwegs.

Ihr wollt es weiter rechts? Dann wechselt auf eine andere Instanz außerhalb dieses Teils des Fediverse. Sucht euch eine Instanz die weiter rechts ist.
Wie ihr die findet? Schaut mal von einigen der hiesigen Instanzen die Liste der geblockten Instanzen durch. Die, die geblockt sind wegen Rasissmus oder Faschismus sind dann die potentiellen Kandidaten für euer neues Fediverse Konto. Dort müsst ihr uns auch nicht mehr ertragen. Aber jammert dann nicht rum, dass im Fediverse ja nur Nazis sind.

Last night I thought I was Fediversly-savvy enough to consolidate all four accounts to only two and merge/move all the people to the new two accounts. But apparently, I was NOT Fediversly-savvy enough 😅

Not sure what did, but none of the people was successfully moved and another two accounts were deleted in the process. By then it was way after 2 a.m.

So, I guess this is me RE-introduced myself 😂 to the #Fediverse system!
(3/3)

I have been on #Fediverse for about a little bit over a year and a half now.

After about three weeks over at #Bluesky, I decided to set myself up with a #Mastodon and a #Pixelfed account despite felt technically intimidated by the whole Fediverse thing. And I’m glad I went for it—enjoy the vibes, the different communities, especially the #Wordle community, and the people!!!

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.

I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

Reading a thread about ideas for a Fedi Dating platform and worrying that Fediverse will just become the same lonely addicting shit it's trying to resist against.

I'm not sure we need to emulate every single platform that exists.

What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.

I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.

It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.

I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

Meine Position befindet sich zwischen Euch beiden: Ja, nach längeren Friedensphasen breitet sich in liberalen Demokratien das Präventionsparadox und Anspruchsdenken aus. Forderungen an den Staat werden erhöht, Steuern & Einschränkungen häufiger abgelehnt.

Mit der post-fossilen Energiewende kommt jedoch m.E. der massive Faktor hinzu, dass Fossilisten in Konzernen, Politik & Medien Wissenschaft und Demokratien attackieren, um länger aus der #Karbonblase Profite zu ziehen.

Nehmt dann noch die digitalen Medienrevolutionen hinzu - und es wird m.E. klar, warum der liberale Fortschrittsglauben zerfällt…

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.

#HolosSocial

Don't get me wrong, a lot of fediverse developers do not want millions of users, they are designing their software carefully for them and people like them.

I'm a dreamer, and love to think bigger, and build platforms with millions and even billions of people.

Both types of devs and projects can thrive, because we give the people control and power.

That is what matters, nobody can control this, not even me or mastodon.social

The protocol is the true power.

The concentration of power in Silicon Valley happened partly because we let it. We accepted a few platforms as inevitable. We built our communities there because that’s where everyone was. It wasn’t because their technology is better. It was a choice—made again and again by the people on those platforms, by investors, and by policymakers.

A different choice is possible, but it requires that those of us building alternatives actually believe what we say about cooperation. It means assuming good faith from people building different projects. It means investing in infrastructure that doesn’t benefit us alone.

We, the builders of the open social web, are the only ones who can make that choice.

It starts with deciding that our mission matters more than winning alone.

I wonder what will be the next major driver of #migration to the #Fediverse? X/Musk does something that drives away users, or governments? It catches on at last in the EU? Bluesky blows up? #Loops⁩ goes viral? Facebook shuts down? #Threads makes sharing the default?

Many features people complained were lacking years ago are now in place, but it doesn't feel as if the Fediverse is growing much overall, ⁨https://fedidb.com/⁩ .

Have you ever wondered which cities are mentioned the most in the Fediverse? I did! I built a small tool that checks the hashtags for the biggest cities in DE, AT, CH, NL, GB, IT, FR and DK.

You can see the results on the map here: https://54gradsoftware.codeberg.page/fedi-cities/.
You can find the software here, along with a list of limitations: https://codeberg.org/54GradSoftware/fedi-cities.

This is only a small, limited analysis, but you can see lots of dots everywhere, especially in bigger cities, and generally in Germany and the Netherlands. [1/3]

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.
