🎙️ Neue BuzzZoom-Folge: Zentral vs. Dezentral
Warum bricht das halbe Internet zusammen, wenn #Cloudflare hustet? Warum hat #Matrix Skalierungsprobleme? Und was haben Energiesparlampen mit Nutzererwartungen zu tun?
Dirk @dde und Mario @DerMario diskutieren, warum das Internet eigentlich dezentral gedacht war, und was daraus geworden ist.

Hallo #Fediverse, hallo Hessen! ✨
Bin von .social nach #hessen.social umgezogen. Mein Profil im Gepäck:

🔭 Astronomie: Deep-Sky & Astrofotografie. Ich teile hier Tipps & Bilder. Mehr Tiefe gibt’s auf meinem Blog: www.astroblog-of.de

🐧 Linux: Langjähriger User. Ich helfe privat gerne beim Umstieg von Windows oder bei Fragen zu OpenSource.

Freue mich auf den Austausch mit euch!

#Neuhier #Astronomie #Hessen #Astrofotografie #Astroblog #Linux #OpenSource #SwitchToLinux

Eigentlich™ hatte ich ja vor, keinen eigenen #Server mehr zu betreiben, sondern nur noch auf externe Ressourcen und Tools zurückzugreifen – eigentlich …

Da für mich die Vorteile eigener #Fediverse - Instanzen aber wichtig sind – zu wichtig, um sie nicht weiterzubetreiben, – ist einer von drei Servern nach wie vor online.

Auf meiner Suche nach Ersatz-Tools für Programme, die ich auf meinem #Palm #Treo 650 nutzte, bin ich mit dem, was ich da gefunden habe, nicht wirklich glücklich geworden, und so habe ich gestern #Firefly iii ( #Haushaltsbuch / #Finanzverwaltung ) installiert, und bin heute dabei, #Grocy neu zu installieren.

Zunächst habe ich alles für mich Überflüssige abgeschaltet, damit wirklich nur noch die Einkaufsliste übrig bleibt, und bin jetzt dabei (Achtung: Fleißarbeit), die einzelnen Artikel einzugeben.

Grocy nur wegen der #Einkaufsliste zu nutzen, ist ein wenig wie “mit Kanonen auf Spatzen zu schießen”, aber tatsächlich gibt es keine (zumindest habe ich nichts gefunden) Einkaufsliste, die Preise mit berücksichtigt.

Wenn ich damit dann fertig bin, kann ich den Palm Treo in die Schublade legen.

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 Social » 🌐 2026-03-06
@HolosSocial@mastodon.social

#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.

I recently migrate from metalhead.club to here (linernotes.club). I imported my followers and followed contacts. However, there are a lot of contacts whose toots don't appear on my timeline (the TL of contacts I follow). Why does it happen? I don't fully understand Fediverse yet :

Can anybody explain it to me?

Ihr Lieben, ich versuche hier gerade von @BlumeEvolution@sueden.social umzuziehen - und hoffentlich möglichst viele Follower & Posts zu "retten".

Allerdings bin ich die Tage stark eingespannt & kein Techie. Habt Gnade mit mir! 🙂

Passt das Profilbild? Ist von diesem Interview zu meinen Hauptthemen hier im Fediverse:

#Solarpunk , #Energiedemokratie und erneuerbare #Friedensenergien ! #Fediverse #Mastodon #Instanz #Umzug

https://energiewinde.orsted.de/koepfe-der-energiewende/michael-blume-antisemitismus-ressourcenfluch-oel-gas-konflikte-interview

@BlumeEvolution@digitalcourage.social @BlumeEvolution find's super, dass Du dem #Fediverse erhalten bleibst ☺

Danke Euch - auf vielfachen Wunsch habe ich nun auch das Solarpunk-Tasse-Profilbild von @BlumeEvolution@sueden.social wiederhergestellt. 🙂

Es stammt von einem Blogpost von 2022, in dem ich mich endgültig von X abwandte & viele weitere Menschen für das #Fediverse und konkret auch für #Mastodon gewinnen wollte. 😃

Das traditionelle "Tässle Kaffee" ☕ gibt es ab morgen nur noch hier, klar!

#Solarpunk #Tasse

https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/die-deutschsprachige-solarpunk-bewegung-im-mastodon-fediversum/

@JHedtke

Genau so sehe ich das auch - das #Fediverse sollte im weiten Rahmen des Grundgesetzes für Vielfalt stehen.

Wenn es z.B. zu viel wurde oder Mitglieder der #CDU bzw. Freunde von #Israel hier nicht willkommen sind, hätte es ja auch eine E-Mail getan. Aber einfach völlig harmlose Posts löschen? Das ist doch einfach nicht der Stil, mit dem wir miteinander umgehen werden.

Vielleicht gelingt mir ja ein Umzug...

I really want to say a huge #thank #you to you the visitor. We may not always #agree, but the #fact that you are reading this, is #proof that I #care that you do. I dedicate this #post in honor of you, for who you uniquely are in #full and in #part as such. Know you are appreciated, from one user of #Mastodon and the wider #fediverse to another.

I'm thinking about setting up and running my own #relay #server for #mastodon and #pleroma as there seems to be a decreasing number of these that take in core and key traffic as times goes by. Resulting in fewer initial servers being maintained long term. The #fediverse and #ActivityPub deserve some love.

I do not believe that Tyler Oliveira is inherently and or intentionally an evil person. Possibly misguided perhaps when not understanding how different #cultures work together, but not a #nationalist or #isolationist by trade. This is why it is crutial, to always use as much independent content platforms, like the ones populated by the #fediverse as humanly possible.

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit

Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas

Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

With everything going on with governments across the world, sometimes i wish i didn't know what was going on. But that's what they want.
for me its seems to be lonely standing up for your rights. All my friends don't understand what is happening. I have basically seperated myself from most of my friend group exculding a couple irl friends.
so im asking everyone on #fediverse who has #degoogled, how do you handle these moments of loneliness. i will stick to what i believe and thats #privacy and i will always continue that journey.
maybe i need to make new friends? 😕

Letztendlich bekommen die, die sich auf #Mastodon einlassen, das ganze #Fediverse noch dazu! Ich denke, es ist in Happen verdaulicher als alles auf einmal. Lieber einen (kleinen) Schritt in die richtige Richtung, als keinen. 🤓😇

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.

#fediverse #mastodon #supportthefediverse

Alt...

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

WE DO NOT VERIFY PEOPLE ON MASTODON

I've always wanted to be able to filter my #mastodon feeds by people I'm following or hashtags, instead of one huge noisy feed of both.

I've got enough working now I'd love for others to give it a shot, everything is stored in your browser, no tracking or servers collecting data.

if you have a few minutes I'd love others try it out or reshare

You can find it here: https://elefeed.app/

Once again, the Open Social Web community is meeting online for the global FediForum unconference, to discuss, teach and learn, and move the Open Social Web forward.

If you think the commercial social media platforms are, let’s say, “not perfect”, and you are looking forward to alternatives that are:

• decentralized,
• community-governed,
• based on open protocols (such as ActivityPub, ATProto, and others),
• open-source,
• open for innovation,
• or all of the above and more!

Consider joining us and help the community build the future we all want to see.

FediForum is scheduled from 8am to 1pm Pacific Time, which is 17:00 to 22:00 Central European Time. This allows people everywhere from central Europe and Africa to the west coast of the Americas to participate. We’ve had some brave souls come to FediForum from the Asia-Pacific region, too, so don’t let that deter you if you live there.

@dansup That would be amazing. I would love to help you any way you need, and I can chat whenever it's good for you.

And, don't forget @Bonfire - they're also building to the same standard. #E2EE will be awesome for the #Fediverse.. but only if there's general #interop between different projects.

If you want some fun bedtime reading before we chat, I'm collecting all of my notes on the project here: https://emissary.dev/e2ee

That page includes links to the spec, Github, and other stuff.

Sorry Brent and the half dozen other inquirers, Loops and Pixelfed is not for sale!

I'd be lost without my babies, and even though I'm scraping by financially and could really use that money, I don't think I could live with myself if I sold out.

The #Fediverse deserves leaders who remain ethical and loyal to building better, safer social web alternatives.

We're funded by people like you ❤️

Would you consider selling loops.video...? Hi, My name is Brent from ******.com, the worlds largest M&A Marketplace. Would you consider selling your business - loops.video I've been diving into your niche and traffic ranking, and I have buyers in mind who acquire businesses exactly like yours... I would love to talk you through it in person on a quick call. No obligation of course. Also, you can get a complimentary valuation here when it suits you. Just hit reply, and let's organise a time to chat... Take Care, Brent

Mastodon.bd is finally up and running.

It’s the first Bangladesh-focused Mastodon instance on the fediverse. I’ve been wanting to see something like this exist for a long time, so it feels good to finally put it online.

Even though the focus is Bangladesh, the instance is open to everyone, regardless of where you’re from.

#bangladesh #fediverse #mastodon #asia #dhaka

Does anyone know of an exiting chromium compatible extension that can use Mastodon filter lists and apply them to pages while browsing?

Say I have muted a word, if a page contained that word in a p, heading, etc - the entire associated section/article is just hidden/removed from the DOM?

#fediverse #NeedSpaceForOtherThoughts

One of my favorite things to do here is to periodically browse the #introduction tag and boost new people. Such a simple way to help new people get a foothold and make the #fediverse thrive

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.

I saw the cover of the current @linuxmagazine “Streaming in the Fediverse”, and I’m a bit disappointed at the actual coverage of #Fediverse music services and the community of musicians - it is primarily a feature on *Navidrome* (which is great, but not federated) with a mention of Funkwhale. It could have covered Bandwagon, Mirlo, The Indie Beat Radio & TV, PeerTube and more. I’d be happy to submit a piece on this at some point if the editors are interested…!

A magazine cover for "Linux Magazine," Issue 304 from March 2026. The cover features bold text about "Streaming in the Fediverse," emphasizing freedom with Navidrome and Funkwhale. Below, there are headlines for various other articles.”

What domain would you prefer? for a #fediverse linktree, I want to buy a domain

Just a reminder to anyone in the #Raleigh #NC area tomorrow, Feb 28th 2026, we're having a #Fediverse #MeetUp at Sir Walter Coffee, E. Davies St. Meeting there around 1800 until whenever folks care to wrap up.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

Love seeing Loops prioritize people's safety!

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 💌
