@MalcolmNance doesn't seem to post on #Mastodon often, so i wanted to share his latest yt video here

Not only is this spot on, but this is the level of anger i feel every time i think about the traitors to our country & our military, & the correct level of anger everyone should have😤

& i was glad to hear him bring up that soldier war criminal Dotard Tumor pardoned🤬 a disgrace

two posts: 1. "Hotel Chocolat's vevetiser is 30 pounds off for Black Friday - here's where to shop" (from The Independent) 2. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" (from EndlessScreaming)

Intégré aussi pour les notifications #mastodon sur smartphone.

Je n'ai jamais réussi à faire fonctionner la chose avec #tusky mais ça a bien marché directement avec #Fedilab. Pourtant les étapes sont identiques :

1. Sélectionner les notifs par unifiedpush dans le client mastodon.
2. Indiquer le service ntfy à utiliser.
3. Pas d'étape 3.

Cool quoi 😎

Welcome home, Plushtodon.

The background features a slightly blurred office desk with a computer monitor, keyboard, speaker, and various stationery items.

As I peruse our non-corporate social media and see the many solicitations to 𝘽𝙪𝙮! 𝘽𝙪𝙮! 𝘽𝙪𝙮!

I felt a gentle reminder was needed 😘

@admin

When I joined years ago it was easy. I picked a server at random. I chose the server from the rotating list that you see when you go to Mastodon. It was a server that immediately allowed you to post.

Just like with MMORPG {massive multiplayer online role-playing games}, I knew that I needed accounts on different servers.

So I created other accounts on other servers which had good up times from the beginning.

There was a rotating list you could choose from that you immediately saw, when you were first confronted with a FediVerse.

The default client never adviced you to join mastodon.social on the contrary

From my POV it's still easy. However that can differ for the casual user

Je veux bien que le compte de meteofrance ici soit un bot mais sérieusement, proposer #whatsapp sur un espace comme #mastodon, ce n'était pas nécessaire...

I was banned from #bluesky for calling the death of a racist, fascist, bigot who advocated gun deaths a good thing. i maintain that position 😤😁

& the #meme that got me banned there, i posted just fine here on #Mastodon 💙

we cannot tolerate this weakness & appeasement of the #fascist #hypocrite #Cancervatives by our #politicians or the #media , social or otherwise

Bluesky may not be the home of the Resistance we hoped for, they may be the vanguard of the Appeasers ~ WT7

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 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.

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

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?
