Once again, I humbly come to you to ask: do you know of any bloggers that write regularly about the #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, #ATproto, or anything of that nature?

As the network grows, it feels like it’s harder and harder to find individual voices and perspectives. If you’re writing stuff about the network, its evolution, the culture, and the people on it, I’m interested in following you.

@sophie9501 einer meiner persönlichen Tiefpunkte war ein Artikel von einem Sportportal. Es ging darum das die kommende WM ein Chaos erwartet weil der Iran sich qualifiziert hat und ja vielleicht nicht antreten kann. Der Spielplan steht. Die Gruppen sind ausgelost.
Vielleicht sollte man in der Sendezeit dann mal Nahaufnahmen aus dem Krieg senden.
Ich bin ja noch nicht ganz umgestiegen, aber im #fediverse sind Bilder von Tankstellen genauso selten wie #katzenbilder

AI bot account warning…

Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”

It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.

It’s wild that I even have to write this.

If you've recently joined the fediverse, and are maybe on a smaller server, things might feel a bit isolated.

Fediverse does require a little more effort compared to traditional social media. This is where the community has really stepped in and created some great tools, like these bots that share trending posts from servers across the fediverse.

It's a system shock coming from what's become of standard corpo-owned social media, into what actual social networking is supposed to be (or at least, it's original intent). The absence of an algorithm is great, and the onus being on ME to reach out and find connections will certainly take a period of adjustment.

It's an exciting departure from the brainrot, and I'm glad to see that at least some parts of the internet aren't dead.

On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.

I've got dead accounts on friendica instances. Does anyone know how to delete them completely? I thought I had but they still seem to be active. Both instances were terribly overcrowded or something, would almost never load. When I deleted them, the interface for that was equally as funky so I'm not surprised they still show up out there.

I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.

I wanted to know what kind server specs I should go for for this kind of project. should I go for 8gb or 4gb of RAM, roughly how many vCPUs/threads, etc..

If there is someone from Valve in fediverse, I would be happy to chat about helping in securing RAM for Steam Machine and other stuff. https://frvr.com/blog/valve-publicly-asks-for-help-securing-ram-for-its-linux-based-steam-machine/

I’m considering creating my own mastodon-instance, but I’ll need to use a managed hosting service like fedihost or masto-host, as I lack the technical ability to set one up from scratch.
Which one of the above mentioned services is the best?
Or are there other fediverse hosting services besides those two?

The amount of disinformation, deep fakes, and other misdirection I hear about from friends and relatives that they get from traditional social media is insane.

They have to tell me about it because I am almost always completely unaware, even though I am “on the Internet” just as much if not more than them.

This is a deep advantage of using Mastodon/the Fediverse right now. And it is not because fake stuff doesn’t exist here.

It is just not automatically sent to me by every owner, bot, and user. And if it is, it is generally swatted down hard.

#fediverse #mastodon #realInformation

I am writing an open letter to the #fediverse #administration and #moderation community, because you need to keep a few things in mind.

Lately I have started noticing some #fediverse #relays disable this instance in the server logs.

It seems like #censorship is alive and well. Whether it be #language or #geography based.

I will say this once.

I have no issue at all with #international content. In fact I encourage it. And I am working on a #translation enabled client for #Mastodon to release as #open #source #software, so that anyone can interact with any #ActivityPub #server out there, to not exclude entire swaths of #audience reach, that would and currently still is, isolated by regional and not human #diversity as such.

To be clear. I do not want to #expose #racism to the world. I want to move beyond that, to create ways by which #inclusive dialog can transcend #world #borders few want you to never forget.

To do that, we will at some point or other have to talk about some concepts that would otherwise never find common resolution in the mind of the everyday person. And I am open to hosting that.

I simply want to put our humanity first, the way the open #internet prior to any concept of #weaponization, was designed to build conceptually. Before bots, automation and spam ruined the experience of the pre-web 2.0 internet. To the point where marking anything as either or, gets you silenced before you remember you once weren't.

Speaking on a personal level, I make mistakes in my ability to just post before I #think about things. I cannot premoderate everything I say to the point where it comes across as neutral or distant, as if I never bothered to go through the experience. And I admit I am and can be at #fault for that. But what I cannot #apologize for, is why I #feel the way I do. In order to clear my #mind my #head, and my #heart for better #times and #memories I can more clearly #focus on. And this is what #inspires me to keep things moving along such a trajectory.

I can't be #positive or #negative all the time. I will just be #real, and let the #moment pass. In #trust that you're with me for whatever part of that #journey comes our way.

I do'nt want us separated by preventable alternatives that bring us closer together. That is my ultimate #purpose as to why I am making this post.

With this in mind, I myself have a tendency to be the only one posting on this server...but if you want to join us, and speak in your own language or talk about issues that matter to you...then by all means, go for it.

I am doing the same here, not to get attention, but to find #community so we can bond over things held in common, not broken by common disinterest. And I have largely been very #successful at this both on other platforms, and by sticking to topics at hand in more traditional forums.

The truth of the matter, is that we have a critical shortage of relays in the fediverse active at any one time. Until recently we have been fortunate here at #MediaNexus to have over 70 enabled instances, this has dropped since to the late 60's since reports started coming in criticizing just one post about the #war I have made, calling out a commentator for their views.

We can't always #agree on things. But we can ensure that we stand for the principle of an agreement not to break down over the disagreements of a few people, who just can't get along no matter how you approach them.

Guys, we need #decentralized #media now more so than ever before. It is not about monitoring for dangerous opinions. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. IF that's what you want, then I suggest you visit #BlueSky for that.

And so this is not about what I want. I have no #agenda to share. Just a simple message. Layered in #truth and #growth of either #awareness or #news that isn't 100% reliant on one person's understanding to be amplified by 1000000 more as their own, holey so.

In part, while we live in an age of alternate #information being so readily available. Even about the same exact #post generating different #analysis by whoever is looking at it from multiple perspectives. We cannot mix #facts with #fiction where #events count objectively.

Losing access to one #relay especially using platforms like #pleroma and #mastodon, potentially means dozens of your available #updates as your #content gets published, cannot be seen. And, I am asking on behalf of all #sane server owners out there, to stand in solidarity with one another for the sake of our continuity. So that one link in our chain, does not and cannot cripple its #functionality anymore. To the point where nodes are centralized around #ideals not #ideas in turn.

Please, mention me in any #disagreement you may have. We are #humans not #bots at the end of the day. And a lot of us pay really good #money to #hosting companies to be able to critically customize our experience on the deecentralized web. Myself included.

We don't do that because it's cool. We do that, because we trust in all of you to uphold this #principle of our continuity as a whole. At the federation, relay, server instance, and user level.

Media Nexus is very young. And I have only managed to get 5 people to sign up because of the common culture I would otherwise not have been able to share as we explore the world we each live in collectively.

As an #important #introduction to the wider reach of independent blogs and forums, I started this server, not to compete with others, but to ensure that we treat this entire medium of #communication like a single #torrent in great health.

I have no interest by and large, in running a #social #media company for the sake of establishing a #network of random people who otherwise have nothing in common accept liking the interface by which we share are thoughts with one another. Although I will admit that's half the fun in making this possible.

In order for us to #work together, I have to imagine we already are doing so even if we never met in person.

Due to the abundant use of platforms widely available for #engagement of various purposes, all I can offer you, is access to someone who puts humanity first. Not by trend, but by principle. That's not just me, that's all of you that believe we are stronger together. Posting just as you do, for being all that you are, where ever your sense of community feels most comfortable belonging there.

No matter who reads this letter, I #support you in all that you do, even if there are times where we have to talk about why we matter to one another. The fact that it can happen at all, is a #miracle I will always #cherish and #embrace while I am alive on this Earth. Because everyone, even you, play a part in our experience in this way. And I wouldn't trade or exchange that for anything.

I #love you for the #person you are, as you become involved in your journey of #life here. And likewise, appreciate you for caring about your place in our world. And as I said above, I only wish for us to find common ground on things we in turn find interesting enough to boost, favorite, and reply to. Whether that's a poll, a photo, or a news article.

I know this post is getting quite long. But there are #reasons why I have to personally speak up about this. As someone who only started their journey on any kind of federated platform let alone hosting one at the beginning of March of this year, following the #tech news of very unsettling feedback. I cannot in good #faith abandon the #philosophy of things that go #viral, because they're #genuine and #free enough to be #authentic and original. And to me, it absolutely #matters that we remember how to #teach this to our #friends and #family as a whole. Less we forget how to #remember our meaning in a world we can still #save from the #absence of all that brings our #presence into #power in turn.

It starts with the #recognition that to deny anyone based on the #group of a sub culture someone belongs to, is a slippery slope of a #sincere and #honest diversion I cannot support.

Thank you for your #attention to this matter.

If this #resonates with you, or even if it does not, let me know.

Yours with warm #appreciation and #gratitude abounding,

Elshara Silverheart

Ich frage hier nach einfachen, digitalen Lösungen zum Erfassen privater Ausgaben und das #Fediverse schlägt mir ein Kommandozeilentool für Linux vor. 🤨

Wenn die Bundesrepublik Diplomatische Beziehungen zu Nerdistan auf nimmt, bewerbe ich mich als cheffe de mission.

Es braucht jemanden, der den Nerds erklärt, was wir denken und wie die anderen 85% ticken und der sie nimmt, wie sie sind.

Ich halte mich langsam für… ähhh qualifiziert

Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #illumosCafe
Good morning, #Fediverse

It's sunny (though some rain is expected). I've had my espresso, and my mood is currently positive. All the bad thoughts I had yesterday evening are now something like "well, I can deal with it". And that's good.

I've almost finished my next IT Notes blog post. I'll try to review and polish it so I can finally make it public.

Meanwhile, have a great day!

#GoodMorning

Just reenabled 1000000 post count of characters after #mastodon #fediverse update.

I have been silently stalking #radicle and its progress, and based on https://blog.liw.fi/posts/2026/radicle-status-quo-01/ I finally decided to give it a whirl.

This looks like it could be the real #fediverse answer leading to a distributed github alternative.

Also, I really dig the visuals. This gives me kernel hacking likes it 1996 feels.

We are #Ikiya and we are finally on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse !

We are a small #Japanese shop located in Treviso, near Venice, and we focus on bringing to Italy a selection of Japanese teas (such as #matcha), ingredients for your recipes, kimono and haori, handmade pottery and much more.

We would like to start leaving mainstream social media for good to connect with our customers in a different way, and this is our first step towards a better communication.

Happy to be here!

She is wearing a black top and holding two items: a small, elegant tea tin with a floral design and a transparent bag filled with loose tea. Behind her, wooden shelves display an assortment of colorful tea tins, boxes, and accessories, contributing to the shop's cozy and organized ambiance.

The background shows shelves with various tea products and decorative items, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Hello Mastodon users, I'm working on migrating to a new instance since Med-Mastodon is shutting down.

When I go to Account > Account Settings > Move to a Different Account, I enter my new Mastodon handle (with an "@" in front of it) and old account password, I'm getting error messages in the new handle and the password fields.

I've tried resetting my password. I've tried a few times. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Das Tässle Kaffee ☕️ von heute Morgen führte zu gleich mehreren solcher👇 Posts.

Erlebe als bestätigt:

Rechte Reaktanz dominiert auf #X, linke Arroganz auf #Mastodon. (Und klar gibt es auch reaktante Linke & arrogante Rechte.)

Ich setze das auch nicht gleich, denn Macker sind noch keine Hater. Doch sie erleichtern den Rechtsdualisten das Geschäft. Denn die meisten Menschen spüren die Herablassung sehr genau & wenden sich von solchen vermeintlich Progressiven ab.

Wer Christdemokratinnen mit Namenserniedrigungen wie „Atom- & FlintenUschi“, „GasKathi“ angreift, übt keine sachliche „Kritik“ und findet auch nicht in einen Dialog, sondern hat den eigenen #Sexismus nie wirklich überwunden.

Und wer hier dazu schweigt, weil es ja „nur“ gegen Andersdenkende geht, wirkt unglaubwürdig. Und so ziehen sich auch Moderate wie ich immer wieder raus, zerbläst leider auch das #Fediverse zunehmend… 🤷‍♂️😢🔥

If you've ever wondered what means, it's the logo of the Fediverse!

There is no central authority to decide an official logo, but is by far the most commonly used logo and most widely accepted.

The designer of the logo uploaded high quality versions of it to Wikimedia Commons:

➡️ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg (colour)

➡️ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal_(mono_version).svg (monochrome)

Fediverse projects often use this as the basis for their own logos by tweaking it a bit.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• 🍉Braa🇵🇸🍉 (@braa)
• Mona (@monaashqer)

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.

I'm curious how common this is- how often do you boost your own posts for different timezones?

#poll #askfedi #fediverse

I love the #Fediverse. I love #Peertube. Our strength is: we're decentralized. Our weakness is: we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?

Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.

How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex

Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: ptindex.btfree.org .

Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned , @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

Congrats to our friends at AltStore on joining the social web! 🎉

@rileytestut and @shanegillio’s alternative iOS app store is integrating with the fediverse, letting apps shared through AltStore travel across platforms like Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky and become more discoverable across the open social web. https://mastodon.social/@altstore@fosstodon.org/116211352409119073

Ich begrüße es sehr, dass nun auch die Süddeutsche Zeitung #SZ wie zuvor auch der #Deutschlandfunk das algorithmische Konzernmedium #X wegen dessen „Verrohung“ verlässt.

Aus meiner Sicht sollte #Europa konsequent auf #FOSS - Medien und das Fediverse setzen, auch um seine Daten & Demokratien zu schützen.

Dazu gehört dann freilich auch, dass wir auf Mastodon selbst dialogischer & fairer werden. Mein erstes Shitstörmle erlebte ich hier, als ich als Vegetarier als „nicht vegan genug“ angegangen wurde. Und vor Kurzem wechselte ich meine Instanz wegen willkürlicher Löschungen völlig demokratischer Posts, in denen ich #digitaleGewalt auch gegen die Familie von Manuel #Hagel (CDU) zurückgewiesen hatte.

Lasst uns auch selbst leben, dass „wir“ im Fediversum einladender, dialogischer & also weniger dualistisch sind als thymotische Konzern-Algorithmen.

@PhoebeEule @Roboost

Und schon heute lese ich auch hier im Fediverse unter Hashtags wie „AtomUschi“ wieder sexistische Erniedrigungen einer Christdemokratin - immerhin gewählte Präsidentin der EU - Kommissionspräsidentin. Triggert aber die meisten Linken nicht, weil ja „nur“ eine Andersdenkende. Da „darf man(n)“ das…

Wie bei jedem Dualismus gilt auch für den Sexismus : Wer ihn nur bei Andersdenkenden verurteilt, wer nicht ohne sexistische Herabwürdigungen von Politikerinnen diskutieren mag, ist Teil des Problems…

Und, sorry, ich habe als Moderater hier von diesem selbstgerechten Mackertum längst mehr als genug. So zerbläst auch das #Fediverum…

Does the Fediverse ever show up in search engine results for anyone else?

Just realizing I've never seen it in the wild.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.

#Mastodon is the Internet Explorer of the #Fediverse ​​

I was looking for something else online and I came across this period. I found it quite an interesting read period. #history#technology # nostalgia. #fediverse
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Simon?hl=en-US

A reminder that it only takes a few minutes to (try to anyway) verify something you see online. Go to various news sources at least.

We are biased to assume that a news item that shows 'the other side' in a bad light is true. Our brains are like that.

And be careful with wikipedia as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_controversies

Double and triple check your sources people!

#ActivityPub support in #Madblog

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

If you want to test it out, search for this URL on your Fediverse client.

Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

mkdir -p ~/madblog/markdown
cat <<EOF > ~/madblog/markdown/hello-world.md
# My first post

This is my first post on [Madblog](https://git.fabiomanganiello.com/madblog)!
EOF

docker run -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v "$HOME/madblog:/data" \
  quay.io/blacklight/madblog

And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

• Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

• Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

• Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

• Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

• Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

• Support for hashtag federation

• Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

• Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

• Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

• A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

• My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

• The #Platypush blog: @blog

# 📡 STRATEGIC ALERT: INFRASTRUCTURE FRAGILITY & THE SURVEILLANCE ENCLOSURE

### [I. THE CLOUD BREACH: DRONE STRIKES ON HYPERSCALE NODES]
The "Great Cloud Blackout" of early March has exposed the fatal vulnerability of centralized data. On **March 1-2, 2026**, Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered a catastrophic failure in its Middle East regions (**ME-CENTRAL-1** and **ME-SOUTH-1**) following reported **drone strikes and "unidentified object" impacts** on facility infrastructure.
* **The Fallout:** The strikes triggered fires that cascaded through redundant power systems. The ripple effects were felt globally: **Claude AI**, banking platforms, and thousands of SaaS providers went dark for nearly six hours.
* **The Lesson:** This event proves that "The Cloud" is not a nebulous entity—it is a series of physical targets. Centralization is a liability. Sovereign nodes and decentralized hosting are no longer a luxury; they are a survival requirement for unfiltered information.

### [II. THE CBDC STRANGLEHOLD: DIGITAL EURO ENCLOSURE]
The European Central Bank (ECB) is accelerating the final phase of the **Digital Euro** rollout. Following high-level workshops on **March 4-6, 2026**, the path toward a "programmable" currency is now clear.
* **Operational Timeline:** A plenary vote by the European Parliament is scheduled for June 2026. The ECB has already selected its private platform providers to begin a 12-month pilot in late 2027.
* **The Privacy Trap:** While the ECB promises "cash-like privacy" for offline transactions, the draft rulebook includes **mandatory holding limits** and deep integration with existing banking partners. This architecture allows for the direct monitoring of "money velocity" and provides a kill-switch for individual financial sovereignty under the guise of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

### [III. THE PRIVACY DEADLOCK: "CHAT CONTROL" CRUNCH TIME]
The battle for encryption has reached its most dangerous phase. The week of **March 9-12, 2026**, will see a decisive plenary vote in the EU Parliament regarding the extension of the "temporary" chat-scanning regime.
* **The Threat:** Lawmakers are deadlocked over the mandatory age-verification and "voluntary" scanning of private messages.
* **The Border Pincer:** Simultaneously, leaked drafts of the **U.S.-EU Enhanced Border Security Partnership (EBSP)** reveal that the U.S. is pushing for access to EU biometric databases—including citizens' **political opinions and trade union memberships**. The digital border is becoming a total data-harvesting zone.

### [IV. THE RESOURCE SIEGE: BLOOD COBALT & M23 GAINS]
The physical cost of our high-tech existence is being paid in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As of **March 7, 2026**, the AFC/M23 coalition—reportedly earning over **$1 million monthly** from illicit mining—has tightened its grip on the mineral-rich Eastern regions.
* **The Rubaya Disaster:** Following the catastrophic landslide at the Rubaya coltan mine on **March 4**, which killed over 200 people, the mine remains under rebel control.
* **Strategic Competition:** While the U.S. and China engage in a "security-for-minerals" bargain in Kinshasa, the humanitarian toll is ignored. This is the raw engine room of the AI and EV revolution: a landscape of mass graves and rebel-funded hardware.

The time has come and I'm beyond excited 😁

We just opened registrations on catodon.rocks.

I know that Catodon created a lot of expectations when Firefish fell apart, and I'm sure many of you were disappointed to see it not going anywhere for a long time. This time I am doing it on my own, so things will happen the way they should have. And, although you can now check it out for youselves, I will say this: I firmly believe that it's better, on every level, than Firefish ever was. I was in both projects, I love them both, but Catodon combines the best features of Firefish and Sharkey, while also being very debloated, being much more comprehensible, and adding actually useful stuff - and I have more plans for the future.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the UX of Catodon, and see how we can improve it further! Let's create the fedi experience we deserve =)

My thoughts on Jay stepping out as CEO of the #bluesky company and a VC-backed CEO taking her place during the interim is that those two realities currently coexist:

1. The #atmosphere is not power-decentralized enough (as in the Bluesky company still has too much power)
2. Bluesky has an excellent track record on helping build the non-bsky atmosphere and delivering on their promises to ship stuff that diverts power away from the company and into other individuals and organizations

If 2. continues, 1. will eventually not be true anymore and the atmosphere would survive a "VC money ran out so Bsky is now milking their users dry"-type enshittification

Of course the #fediverse has none of those power dynamics problem but we don't see most replies to a toot or have an account migration flow that doesn't suck so choose your poison I guess 💀

Hmmm, is there any way to share a hashtag with people that aren't necessarily on the Fediverse? On my Friendica I used categories so I could share just some of my posts with people, but obviously that's not an option on most Fedi services, so maybe a way to link people to a hashtag, at least the public toots and woots?

@FediTips any ideas?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116183535316096143

Some news from #HolosSocial development. The latest release moves media processing to the device. Videos are transcoded locally before upload. Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in #ActivityPub activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the #Fediverse.

#Holos 1.0.0-rc-4 published!

Sync is now much faster thanks to Bloom filters. You can set a TTL on posts when composing or configure a default in settings.

If you have a WebDAV/S3 server, the app can upload media there and use public URLs in ActivityPub.

Videos can be compressed before upload. An experimental vertical video feed is available.

A new Discovery timeline lets you explore posts by tags and language.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to three families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Hanan (@Hanan1991)
• Maha Rashad (@mahaelshaer8)
• Reta Sbakhi (@retareta)

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.

💕

Just getting this out there. I've had a few DM's now about this image and reuse (you very polite copyright respecting people)

I created it (it's a title card from my stream) using downloaded assets but in compliance with their licenses although correct me if I'm wrong.

I absolutely do not mind anyone using it for any purpose if it's boosting awareness of the Fediverse.

Support the Fediverse. Social media is better without the billionaires.

Hi, I'm V! #introduction

I am a late-fifties white, fat #disabled #nonbinary person. I live with my partner D & his partner, E, who also hang round on fedi. Sadly, we currently have no pets, but we help out our neighbours & friends with dog walking and pet sitting.

I have a bunch of chronic illnesses & conditions that limit my energy, so posting & response times can be slow and sporadic, but I do my best. I will CW when appropriate and provide image descriptions. I don't boost images without descriptions.

I love the #fediverse; however, I am aware of the problems this place has, especially for #BIPOC . I try to use it critically & thoughtfully and do my best not to be part of the problem. I do appreciate being called out/in if I fuck up, but I recognise that responsibility is mine to do better.

I am trying to unlearn a whole bunch of #racist #colonialist crap amongst other things, so I can be a halfway decent human. BTW Fuck whiteness, white supremacist, nationalist bollocks in any form or shape. I won't argue with you, I'll block & report you.

I like #sewing , #art , #gardening , #craft, #photography, and #Slowmaking stuff in general.

What if every phone could contribute to the #Fediverse, not just consume it?

Short-form video means heavy server-side transcoding for every clip. But your phone can handle it. Re-encode, resize, thumbnails, all done locally. Then push to your own #S3 or #Nextcloud.

No transcoding server. Just simple storage.

We can decentralize the compute, not just the network.

We're working on it

#HolosSocial

The fediverse is quite a thing.

This morning, my first (of likely many) rejection emails popped into my inbox. It stung little, I admit. It's part of the process.

I stepped away for a networking opportunity, and when I got home, I noticed Feditext had a ton of notifications.

Curious, I checked and see that people were boosting my job search post left and right.

I don't know what set that off, but it happened exactly at the right time.

Much appreciated. ❤️

#ThankYou #Fediverse

Since @dansup doesn't have enough projects, can I suggest more?
Just kidding to a degree, but maybe take over the FediShare button for browsers? Only reasons for the suggestion is that its no longer maintained, its a bit out of date lacking Wafrn or Holos for example, and most importantly, because it never supported any of your projects.

🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER. 🚨

Currently there are scammers who want you to click a link by acting like #Mastodon staff

Please REPORT these accounts so we can ban them across the #Fediverse
