⚠️ Do not be HACKED !! 😱

Software updates include not only new features but also critical security fixes. To keep your site secure and stable, ensure you always use the latest version.

We frequently observe numerous sites across the Fediverse running very outdated versions of Mastodon or Misskey. Some sites are even using versions over a year old.

Be the smart administrator and keep your site up to date.

Made in Canada.

@evan I'm honestly speechless seeing you launch https://photos.cosocial.ca

Your StatusNet software changed everything for me. I ran it until 2016, and it led me to Mastodon, which eventually inspired Pixelfed in 2018.

You've been my hero since day one. To see you now using Pixelfed... this moment feels impossibly full circle.

Thank you for everything you've built and for inspiring generations of federated software builders.

The future is federated. ❤️

I just found a 4 minute video by Elena Rossini, @elena It's a really well-done intro video about the #fediverse.

https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

It describes what the fediverse is, where it came from and why you are just now hearing about it.

Loops APK Update: fixing the last bugs and finishing the final screen so I can ship the APK before I go to bed.

The long-awaited APK release is almost here.

Our community has grown so much this year — this one’s for the early adopters, the trendsetters, the pioneers.

We’re making history together. I couldn’t be prouder.

❤️

#loops #peopleNotPlatforms #fediverse

I thinking about one thing that #fediverse self-hosting landscape lacks. Well it is not only about Fediverse per se.
I dream to have something like a personal "trailer", or technically speaking, a server, on the internet, where I can add various capabilities if need them. For example:
📜 microblogging like Mastodon.
📖 Long-reads blogging like Medium
🖼️ Photos and albums
📷 Video upload
at least one of these:
📬 deltachat relay
📪 Briar "mailbox".
💬 Simplex relay

Some more explanations follow.

Good day all! Only one show this week due to me being on call again.

Does anyone know a website by a news organisation, that is federated into the #Fediverse via the plugin for #Wordpress? Would be a nice addition for my collection:

Fediverse Report 141 - this week's #fediverse news

Mastodon is working towards making one of the longstanding pain points of the fediverse a thing of the past, with the new ability to show all replies to a post. Bonfire is making strides with their Open Science Network platform, and Ghost is now the most popular server software on the fediverse.

https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fediverse-report-141/

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.
