It's official, Halis can now onboard new users fully automatically.

I am aware I am addressing the wrong crowd here, because if you are on the fediverse, you may not need what Halis provides, but one never knows :)

I have been working on this infrastructure for years at this point, aiming to provide anyone in need with a corner of privacy, and this is only the first iteration !

Let me know if you have any feedback, and boosts are very much appreciated !

I think because those 👆 elections are important to global stability, plus the fact that Canada 🇨🇦 and the EU 🇪🇺 are forming a closer partnership, everyone on social media might want to be on the alert for foreign accounts designed to influence political opinions and election outcomes .

Example: recently two anti-EU accounts were trying to use aggressive fearmongering tactics to change my opinion about the EU.

I think it's good to be aware

After my most recent hospital trips, lovely people here on fedi have been asking me what I'll need to get through the next couple of weeks given I'm disabled and under the poverty line, and my last surgery didn't go to plan😔(you can read more on my timeline). I need to recover from that physically, while also now needing to gain strength and wait for yet another surgery at the end of September due to the last one not working😅 Obviously, the setback has thrown things out of whack as far as the food and adult diapers that I currently can't do without, so given people have asked, I have taken stock of what I'll need to get through until next surgery day:

*more ready meals as I don't have the ability to cook right now but need nutritious things that are pre-prepared

*Two more packs of adult diapers to get me through until the next surgery date.

The total cost is $237.15. That will mean I'm fed, and able to rest and recover from my last hospital stay and surgery(where they added another stent), and give myself the best possible chance of being alright to go into the next surgery and have that be a success(and recovery be smooth).

If you could help me reach my goal of $237.15 so I can get those essential diapers and the food I need, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance♥️

🌟 Friendica Plausch am Samstag, 19.09.2026 🌟

Du nutzt Friendica schon eine Weile – oder bist gerade erst dabei, die vielen Möglichkeiten zu entdecken? Dann schau doch beim wöchentlichen Friendica Plausch vorbei! 😊

Jeden Samstag um 14 Uhr lädt @feb zu einer lockeren Online-Runde rund um Friendica ein.

💬 Was kann Friendica eigentlich alles?
🔎 Wo verstecken sich praktische Funktionen?
💡 Welche Tipps haben andere Nutzerinnen und Nutzer?
❓ Und wie funktioniert dieses oder jenes überhaupt?

Beim Friendica Plausch gibt es kein festes Programm und keine „dummen Fragen“. Es geht ums gemeinsame Entdecken, Ausprobieren, Fragenstellen und Erfahrungen austauschen.

Und wie es sich für einen echten Plausch gehört: Manchmal schweifen wir dabei auch ganz entspannt in völlig andere Themen ab. 😉 Genau das macht die Runde oft besonders unterhaltsam und abwechslungsreich.

Egal, ob du #neuhier bist, schon länger Friendica nutzt oder einfach neugierig bist – komm gern dazu. Gerade die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen und Gespräche machen den Plausch spannend. 🌐✨

📅 Samstag, 19.09.2026
🕑 14:00 Uhr
💻 Online

Den Link zur Veranstaltung findet ihr im Kalendereintrag von Matthias.

Vielleicht entdeckt ihr dabei ja eine Friendica-Funktion, die ihr bisher noch gar nicht kanntet – oder landet am Ende bei einem Thema, mit dem vorher niemand gerechnet hat. 😄

I’m very open about important #Mastodon and the #fediverse are to me. It’s nice to know there are like minded people in such a challenging world. And some of you I’ve known virtually for over 20 years.
Begs the question - if I’m talking about you to people irl, what do I call you?

Kleine Bestandsaufnahme: Von Mastodon aus mit Pixelfed-Leuten quatschen, Lemmy-Diskussionen liken, PeerTube-Videos boosten, alles ein Konto, alles ein Netzwerk, kein Algorithmus fragt mich vorher um Erlaubnis.

BOOST FAR AND WIDE PLEASE!

After my most recent hospital trips, lovely people here on fedi have been asking me what I'll need to get through the next couple of weeks given I'm disabled and under the poverty line, and my last surgery didn't go to plan😔(you can read more on my timeline). I need to recover from that physically, while also now needing to gain strength and wait for yet another surgery at the end of September due to the last one not working😅 Obviously, the setback has thrown things out of whack as far as the food and adult diapers that I currently can't do without, so given people have asked, I have taken stock of what I'll need to get through until next surgery day:

*more ready meals as I don't have the ability to cook right now but need nutritious things that are pre-prepared

*Two more packs of adult diapers to get me through until the next surgery date.

The total cost is $237.15. That will mean I'm fed, and able to rest and recover from my last hospital stay and surgery(where they added another stent), and give myself the best possible chance of being alright to go into the next surgery and have that be a success(and recovery be smooth).

If you could help me reach my goal of $237.15 so I can get those essential diapers and the food I need, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance♥️

I am currently migrating my #BookWyrm account for the first time (to @juergen_hubert@tomes.tchncs.de , and it's definitely not the smooth process I am used to from my two Mastodon migrations.

A lot of books required a second import attempt to migrate successfully. And many more failed to import at all - primarily, but not exclusively those without an #ISBN . While these books mostly do have an #OpenLibrary ID (I know because I added entries for them to OpenLibrary in the first place), this doesn't seem to have helped.

I don't know what can be done to improve this process, but as it stands I have to import about 400 entries manually - about a fourth of my total. Admittedly, I probably have far more old books without ISBNs than most users, but still - that's a lot.

So be careful when picking your BookWyrm instance, because migrating is a pain.

Really, this is important. Hashtag are 'the algorithm' here on the #fediverse - And you tell the fediverse what you like by following #hashtags - have a look at 'trending' on your instance to see what tickles your fancy. Or look at live feeds->all for the firehose, and see if you can spot something there interesting.

Posting to Mastodon without hashtags is posting into a void. No algorithmic feed is coming to rescue the post. Two to four tags, every time. We learned that one slowly. #mastodon #fediverse #socialmedia

Vom 10. bis 17.9. wurden auf troet.fediverse.at 340 Konten angelegt, 337 davon mit generierten Namen nach dem Muster »bp« + 16 Hex-Zeichen. Jede Anmeldung von einer eigenen IP, null Beiträge, null Bestätigungen.

Das Ziel waren nicht die Konten, sondern die Bestätigungsmails: Mein Server hat sie an fremde Adressen verschickt, überwiegend japanische Provider. Google hatte einen der Empfänger schon gedrosselt, die Bounces landeten bei mir.

Das Ärgerliche daran: Mastodons Bordmittel greifen alle zu spät. hCaptcha hängt im Bestätigungsschritt, also nach dem Mailversand. Genehmigungspflicht ebenso. IP- und Domainsperren sind bei einer IP pro Anmeldung und echten Opferadressen sinnlos.

Meine Lösung mangels Alternative: Registrierung abgedreht – niemand kann sich mehr neu registrieren. Nicht gut auf Dauer! Die 337 Konten gelöscht, ohne E-Mail-Blockierung — sonst sperrt man die Opfer aus statt der Täter.

Hat jemand eine bessere Idee? Etwa eine Challenge vor /auth/sign_up im Reverse Proxy?

FediSuite 1.6.3

Your Fediverse Management Platform

FediSuite 1.6.3 is out. At its center is reach for public Fediverse posts. Likes, boosts, and replies show reactions, but not how many accounts likely saw a post. That's why FediSuite now calculates an estimated gross and net reach based on the FediWings model.

Gross reach counts possible visibility through the author and boosters. Net reach subtracts out double counting. If the same account boosts several parts of a thread, it doesn't get counted multiple times in the total. FediSuite treats threads as one connected post instead of artificially inflating each segment. These are the details that turn a nice-looking number into a useful one.

The calculation runs in the background for new and already imported posts. Older posts get their turn too, gradually. In the overview, the dashboard, and the top posts list, you can sort by net or gross reach. A badge links directly to the methodology page. It explains how the formula works, what it's based on, and where its limits are. Reach is an estimate, not an oracle. That's exactly why the explanation belongs right next to the number, not in some blog post nobody finds.

It's worth reconnecting your own Fediverse accounts in FediSuite, so that every post actually gets imported at full length. Then it takes a bit of patience: gross and net reach are only calculated after the historical import finishes, and then in small intervals. It can take an hour or two before all the reach numbers are available.

Along the way, 1.6.3 cleans up quite a bit: the time axes on the growth charts finally stick to the selected period, import progress shows its actual phase, and post rows can now be expanded. When fetching reach data, FediSuite now caps concurrent requests per instance at six. A full queue now drains much faster, without flooding small remote instances with requests.

There were also, of course, plenty of smaller changes and fixes under the hood:

• Proper UI scaling from 720p to 4K.
• Historical data import now shows a coloured progress bar.
• There's a new "Credits" page, linked in the footer.
• There's a new "Methodology" page, linked as a badge on every reach calculation.
• Follower charts fixed.
• And much more!

America Sanctions Palestinian Authority and PLO Members

It is official! The United States has officially sanctioned the Palestinian Authority (PA) and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for failing to live up to their commitments as described in two historical commitment acts from 1989 and 2002, the US State Department announced.

As such, the so-called PA president Mahmoud Abbas has been denied an entry visa to the US ahead of the General Assembly of the wicked United Nations (UN). Be aware that the Palestinian Authority is guilty of paying terrorists and actually commits apartheid.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the entire announcement of the State Department. Some parts in boldface…

The State Department has reported to Congress that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Palestinian Authority (PA) have, once again, failed to live up to their commitments as described in the PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 (PLOCCA) and the Middle East Peace Commitments Act of 2002 (MEPCA). This includes initiating and supporting actions at international organizations that undermine and contradict prior commitments in support of Security Council Resolution 242 and 338, taking actions to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict including through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking to bypass negotiations through seeking unilateral recognition, and continuing to pay stipends to terrorists and to glorify acts of terrorism and terrorists in public pronouncements and school textbooks.

As a consequence of their failure to reform, contrary to their commitments to the United States, and their ongoing activities that undermine the prospects for peace, the United States will extend sanctions that deny visas to PLO members and PA officials in accordance with section 604(a)(1) of the MEPCA. The Department has maintained the standing waiver for personnel notified to the PLO Observer Mission to the United Nations as was the case in the Department’s prior determinations. It is in our national interest to impose consequences and hold the PLO and PA accountable for glorifying terrorism.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think this latest move by the United States will impact the PA, the PLO and their international partners significantly? Do you think the other nations that took sides with the Palestinians and normalized themselves with Islamic terrorists will think twice about how they do diplomacy? Are you convinced that the Palestinians have a religious and ethnic commitment to terrorism?

Philippines Economic Growth May Fall Behind Southeast Asian Neighbors

In the latest economic analysis of Bank of America (BofA), the Philippines may end up behind its Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) neighbors in terms of economic growth, and it could also mark another year of failing to hits is growth target, according to a report by BusinessWorld.

This is not surprising as the Philippines did not benefit economically from hosting the ASEAN Summit while it endured high inflation, weak gross domestic product (GDP) growth and lower foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows this year.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of BusinessWorld. Some parts in boldface…

THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY may be among the slowest growing in Southeast Asia this year, as weak domestic demand keeps growth below its potential, Bank of America (BofA) said.

In a report dated Sept. 8, BofA Global Research kept its gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts for the Philippines at 2.5% in 2026 and 3.5% in 2027.

For 2026, this projection puts the Philippines on par with Thailand as the slowest-growing economies among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members included in the report.

The two countries are expected to trail Vietnam (8.2%), Indonesia (5.3%), Malaysia (5.2%), and Singapore (5.1%) this year. If BofA’s forecasts hold, the Philippines will miss its growth target for five straight years. Economic managers are targeting 3.5%-4.5% GDP growth this year and 5%-6% in 2027-2030.

“In second half of 2026, we see GDP growing 2.5% with gentle gains in consumption and the bottoming of investment spending,” BofA China & Asia Economist Helen Qiao and Asia Economist Ting Him Ho said.

“Government spending may help mitigate the effects of the oil shock by aiming subsidies at consumer and transport groups most affected,” they added.

The Philippine economic growth slumped to a post-pandemic low of 2.3% in the second quarter, bringing first-half growth to 2.6%. Economic managers said that last year’s flood control corruption scandal continued to weigh on public construction and investments, while the Middle East war-driven energy shocks dampened household spending.

“Domestic demand grew only 0.9% in 2Q26 with net trade providing the lift to overall GDP,” the BofA economists also noted. “Within domestic demand, private consumption slowed, investments shrunk, and government spending was unable to fully cushion.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines will continue to be the economic weakling of ASEAN this year? Has the weak economic growth of the Philippines affected you in many ways?

Today's issue:

3 stories, Many sources read, 3 hours, and zero ad networks. I could use them, but I dont want to.

The #Blanche transcript got pulled and read against his confirmation answers, because "he said it on television" isn't real enough. The #GLAAD number got checked against the study itself, because I wanted to be damn sure. #Journalism #IndependentMedia #Media #NoAI #MutualAid #Solidarity #QueerNews #LGBTQ #TransRights #Fediverse #Community #Politics

I think the "official EU" should have multiple instances; after all, it's the Fediverse. That, in itself, would make for a far more resilient and robust solution.

And yes, "official Canada" should (obviously) also have something similar.

As for people being on X, and elsewhere, the light doesn't shine equally on people of the planet 😎
