i just deleted my #microsoft #github account. way too late, but finally!

thank you so much, @CoMaps, for using @Codeberg !

whatever happened to #organicmaps proudly announcing a switch to #forgejo but then silently backing out?

also cool that #comaps links to the #mastodon profile of places.

thanks for the #fork❣️

If you're new to Mastodon, please consider adding a few lines to your profile about your interests. This isn't about forking out your information. You will find that a lot of people here genuinely care about privacy. But a lot of people won't interact with a blank profile. Besides, you interests will help you find like-minded people to follow and follow you back.

Also: Follow accounts that share your interests and use hashtags liberally.

And use two-factor authentication for your account if you don't have it. #Mastodon

#Dutch public broadcaster finally stops with posting on X. Too much hate and no moderation and by posting their news links they realised they are part of the problem (feeding the beast):

Parenting done right.

(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Photo of an adult German Shepherd Dog looking at an attentive German Shepherd puppy. Meme text reads: The “Pre-Thanksgiving" Talk... "Look, when the family comes over for Thanksgiving, it's literally going to be raining food. People drop things, peas roll off plates, gravy drips, things happen. So stay alert!"

Just realized my #Mastodon instance posts have a 500-character limit. Tried to find how to change that, and holy fucking code, there are some political and philosophical discussions going on for 6 fucking years already: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12265

#opensource #foss #fediverse #justwhy

Speaking about #decentralization and Mastodon, does Mastodon official client onboarding flow still promote the "mastodon.social" or other single server as default option instead of rotating/randomizing across the list of known servers with option to type server manually? Without this #Mastodon will have to "block Missisipi" too eventually.
Yes, I referring to that decision of #Bluesky to block access to bluesky web UI from IP addresses in Missisipi US state due age-check laws adopted there.

I've recieved an early Christmas present from one of my granddaughers.. This morning, went I used it I wasn't sure whether to laugh, sing along or just go back to bed! ( Early as I needed to change my old one). 😅😅 #kettle #fediverse #mastodon

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Bin immer noch ganz selig über die gestrige Aufnahme der dialogischen #BlumeundInce - Folge zu #KI & #Kultur mit @Teh_Doc_Inan in der Stadtbibliothek #Filderstadt. Das #Fediversum und konkret #Mastodon waren super vertreten, u.a. mit @silberspur , @hirnchirurg & @Dreimling 🙏🙌 - und auch meine Englisch-Abi-Lehrerin Frau #Zangl (81!) kam. Was für eine Ehre! 🙏🤓🙌 Geht in den nächsten Tagen online, hier die #Gerbera der Bibliothek. Danke allen, sehr! 📚🧡🎙️

I get #Pixelfed is perhaps not the most intuitive and user friendly when using it as your daily photo blog site, compared to other (more popular) #SocialMedia photo apps.

I am quite ok with the (awkward) "friction". I need it, it's good, but every day that bugs and quirks are not addressed / fixed is another day I get closer to using #Mastodon for my daily photo blog.

Seriously, what's going on with Collections? Does anyone know why they are borked?

Recently, we were asked why we, a knowledge & community focused charity, were posting to celebrate cultural and religious holidays.

We believe that the Social Web has the potential to be the most diverse space on the entire web. But to get there, we have to start simple.

We aren't experts. We're learning each time we post (and we hope you are too). Our goal is to provide the very first stepping stones to that, diverse, Social Web we dream of.

Alt...

The background of the image shows silver stars. Over it, text reads: Awareness. The Social Web, especially the Fediverse, has a long way to go before it represents the diversity of the real world. The Social Web is dominated by the Western perspective. We hope that, by celebrating cultural events and holidays across our Social Web presence, we can highlight the many missing voices in the timeline.

Alt...

The background of the image shows silver stars. Over it, text reads: Education. There are so many cultures and religions on our small planet. We are a species of dreamers and believers. It’s unfair to presume that a person would be educated on the experiences of others from different countries, cultures, and beliefs. But to welcome diversity to the Social Web, we should make a collective effort to learn. We’re not experts. Our commuity team are all from the English countryside. We’re not always perfect, but we try to take time to educate ourselves. We hope that by sharing that knowledge on the Social Web, others may too learn about the experiences of those different to them. Together, we can make this space more welcoming.

The background of the image shows silver stars. Over it, text reads: Acceptance. We hope that if someone from a group or culture which is a minority on the Social Web sees one of our posts, they feel a little more at home. In the past, the culture of the Social Web itself has felt unwelcoming to those marginalised by Western society. This is not acceptable. The Social Web is a place for everyone who can treat others with respect and decency. It belongs to no one. We welcome everyone, no matter their culture or religion, and trust that they too will welcome the diverse opinions and voices of the Social Web.

🆕 blog! “Now witness the power of this fully operational Fediverse!”

How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.

Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog…

And don’t get me wrong, #Meta is an evil empire and that wants to drain humanity of anything they can in order to turn a profit. I just want to be able to follow my friends and for them to be able to follow me. I scared too many people away from #Mastodon because I introduced them to it too soon (it was around 2017).

#Threads #ActivityPub

Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?

Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞

#Mastodon #Fediverse #MastodonSocial

Alt...

Graph showing twelve different Mastodon servers with their percentage of the active Fediverse on the Y axis. Mastodon.social has almost 30% of active Fediverse users while all other servers have about 1% or less. Caption under chart says "Largest Mastodon servers vs % of active Fediverse, 21st November 2025, data from FediDB.com" Another caption next to the bar for mastodon.social says "Percentage occupied by mastodon.social is growing! It used to be less than 15%! JoinMastodon.org and official Mastodon apps are STILL promoting mastodon.social!"

I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.

I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:

"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"

So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.

However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.

This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?

@SDF

Hey everyone,

Today, @joynewacc and I had the pleasure of talking to two and welcoming two new members to the Gaza Verified family.

They are:

• Ahmad (@goodahmad)
• Suad (@suad)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse and contribute to their fundraisers if you can. (And please share this so others can do the same.)

Remember that you can see a list of our members and their fundraisers in one place (ordered by those who have raised the least in the past week) at:

#Fediverse #SocialWeb #Canada News!

mastodonserver.ca is now thesocialweb.ca

Its Fediverse handle should be updated automagically (i think?) to @directory

All servers and instances in Canada are welcome to get in touch and have their server listed on the webpage!

#GoToSocial will be updated to the latest version by tomorrow which will restore compatibility with #Mastodon.

We've been working on it all week, a few changes in the code have required us to make alterations to our systems and run a lot of tests and simulations.

Sorry for the delays.

I've been here for years and I still haven't cracked the Fediverse code.

On Twitter I could post "eating cereal" and get 50 bot likes + one crypto bro following me.
Here I can post a 30-second video of my cat trying to fight the vacuum cleaner with the caption "me when someone's instance federates with threads dot net" and… absolute silence. Not even a sympathy boost from the admin who literally pays for the server I'm yelling on 😭

So please, someone finally explain the secret sauce:
Do I need to switch my cat to a vegan gluten-free diet? Do I have to mention systemd negatively in every post? Or is the real trick sacrificing a Raspberry Pi to the old gods of ActivityPub??
