I think it's time to write an #introduction for this account as well!

I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for #OwnYourData, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions.

I've been active in the #Fediverse for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of #illumos based operating systems (#OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, #OpenIndiana, etc.).

I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - @stefano@bsd.cafe - remains my primary one.

For more information about the illumos Cafe, you can read the introductory post here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/

#illumosCafe #BSDCafe

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

You know…I’m pretty sure that the #fediverse and #mastodon in particular has enough delightful geeks and nerds that if I put out a call to come join a Nerf-armed Macedonian phalanx so that the Zergling could command their own army of nerf-pikes in the cul-de-sac. It’s several months away, I’m halfway tempted…

Is it wrong for me to hope that this stupid AI bubble bursts? 🤔

Yes, okay, in a way it is, because a hell of a lot of people work for the companies that would be severely affected.

And now I'm answering my own questions 😂

Randomly thinking of that glorious moment in time over four years ago when @jz made a poll with three options: R, G, B, and fedi collectively created a color: Fédi-vert.

Another issues, which you may have noticed, are many Fediverse sites wrongfully discriminate against Fediverse sites in Asia (Korea, Japan, etc...).

I find this ironic for many reasons.

The one I am currently on (this one) is in Europe, but one of the reasons I have had more than one account, and why many of the 3rd party Fediverse Apps allow you to sign in to multiple accounts, is to overcome that fragmentation. The Fediverse most certainly does have a fragmentation issue.

If you're looking to join the Fediverse. And presuming you are one of the people who do not want to promote hate speech (not all of 4Chan is bad), I would recommend an Asian site, since freedom of speech is more respected and valued. Perhaps more Asian sites allow it because it's not exactly widespread in offline (in the real world).

There are some good European sites (this being one of them). But know that most Asian sites will be more relaxed.

Is there a #Mastodon app for #iOS that have a ”notify me about replies to this post”, just like one can subscribe to notifications for comments on Facebook?

#Fediverse

Hello 4Chan

This will be the — you know what? I've lost track of how many times I've been "featured" on 4chan.

Unfortunately, the mass wave of people opening tickets claiming I should add the chan to this list, triggered the anti-spam feature. You're all a very enthusiastic bunch, as always. 😂 That said, 4Chan is not part of the Fediverse and the domain name extension is American, and so would qualify for my list. 🤷

But I did want to address one of the tickets, since it does underline some of the issues among the Fediverse. 😉

The Fediverse has a lot of fragmentation. This is often caused by admins who should not be administrators. An admin will get into a disagreement with 1 person, 1x and choose to block not just that individual, but the whole site and all their users. So if you have 5,000 people on site "1A" and 5,000 on site "2B", you have 10,000 people who cannot communicate with one another, and are clueless this has taken place.

A screenshot of an email that reads: I've been using the Fediverse features of this project, and I've encountered some inconsistencies that are really frustrating. Specifically, when trying to interact with instances outside the United States, the responses are often delayed or even fail altogether. Furthermore, it seems that some features like cross-platform mentions and notifications don't work reliably. For example, I'll get notifications for messages sent on platforms A and B, but nothing from C, even if I can see the messages directly on C. I've tried testing this with multiple accounts and instances, but the issues persist. It's extremely annoying because I need to rely on consistent interaction across all platforms. Could you please prioritize looking into this? It shouldn't be this complicated to stay connected across the Fediverse. Thanks.

Gibt es im #Fediverse eigentlich weitere Leute, die eine eigene Mastdon Instanz self-hosted für den Selbstgebrauch (oder ganz wenigen Accounts) betreiben?

Fediforschung beginnt mit Dir!
Das Fediverse ist groß, bunt und manchmal ein bisschen rätselhaft. Doch das sollten wir nicht als Nachteil betrachten, sondern als spannende Herausforderung. Deshalb hat @digitalcourage ein kleines Mitmach-Abenteuer erstellt für alle, die das #Fediverse besser verstehen wollen: Denn Neugier ist der Anfang von Erkenntnis und Wissenslücken bieten Gelegenheit, etwas Neues zu lernen. Wir müssen nur wieder Lust entwickeln, Technik selbst zu begreifen und uns damit digital selbst zu behaupten. So gewinnen wir die Freiheit und Mündigkeit zurück, die uns Big Tech permanent abtrainieren will.
Auf der Seite
https://digitalcourage.de/fediforschung
findest Du kleine Aufgaben, Experimente und Beobachtungen, mit denen Du das freie, dezentrale und wirklich soziale Netzwerk Schritt für Schritt erkunden kannst.
Viel Spaß!

Can anyone recommend a tool for basically mass unfollowing Fediverse/Mastodon accounts or otherwise managing your followings?

I'm following almost 2000 accounts and while my feed is very much alive and buzzing, it feels like it doesn't really match my interests. It's too generic.

I need to weed out what I actually care about. Is there anything that can help with that?

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??

1. 目前不支持 wss://，不知道代表了什么，至少目测没有公开时间轴，relay约等于摆设
2. snac2 适合1c1g的超低配用户，据我所知snac基本上全都是个人实例、不对外开放注册，中文snac2实例一只手数的过来，去fedi列表里找基本大海捞针。如果你要发消息给snac2实例上的人，实测私信是收不到的，你可能需要找到我的帖子，然后 at 我+ 公开，不然问就是看不到（已经联合的不知道还是不是这样，其实也可以点个follow）。
3. 下面的配置文件retry可以调小一点，反正收不到就是收不到。你可能要apt install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev，不记得是不是误解了什么，反正装一个又不会死；总之就是编译一个snac，apt install lighttpd (+启用tls、proxy拓展)的反代就完事了，或许也可以直接用cloudflared

Thanks to @DavidRGardiner I was able to fix some issues in the #ManfredApp. I am currently testing the next release which will feature:

- Pasting images from the clipboard into posts
- Better scrolling experience in threads
- Stopping any video playback when leaving the app, because it would kill background music re-entering (there is still an issue with GIFs unfortunately).

Thanks for all the feedback.

Does anyone have #fediverse or #mastodon stats (preferably from a few different servers) about numbers of bad-faith actors being identified, banned, etc.? I've become pretty interested in this from a methodological point of view. I'm thinking of running some #moderation simulations to explore possibilities in a "calculate some stuff and make some graphs" way. Actually, if someone already did that, I'd be keen to read it.

I'm interested in how to detect "bad eggs," realizing as I think about it that I don't even know all the questions to ask, and this entire line of investigation has some thorny issues I'll need to deal with. I think infosec.exchange might, in some ways, be the perfect server to be on for this, because I am pretty sure that #cybersecurity has huge overlap with this whole domain.

#advice is helpful. #data is even more helpful.

#moderators #BadActors #infosec #socialmedia

Every time there is an outage like #cloudflare or #aws I see people talking about the (in)dependence of the fediverse. But did someone actually look into on what hosters etc. the fediverse relies on?

If not let's coordinate that below this toot. Boost to get more people on board.

calling it "X (formerly Twitter)" two years later is driving me insane, like at what point do we just accept reality and move on.

I don't support musk, I don't like what happened to the platform, but it's been two years and we all know what it's called now, what's the point of the disclaimer every single time?

facts matter even when they suck, and the fact is the bird app died in 2022, this is what we got instead, just call it by its name already

I think too many websites relying on CloudFlare. It's everywhere... from "prove you are human" pages to web hosting services. IMHO it is a good time think about dropping it like a hot mess.

That's why I like everything decentralized. Not one person or company should own everything.

@jwildeboer my instance is also up, but no doubt some of those elsewhere in the #Fediverse won't be working and we wont see any posts from them until this is fixed.

some great points in this blog post that I really wish the #fediverse would internalize:

"I think I need not elaborate that the passion so many feel for social media does not always manifest in healthy ways.

You are to be compared with tech billionaires, with their immense wealth and layered support systems, but with none of the money or resources.

It manifests in what people expect of you, and how people talk about you."

I much agree; people need to learn to chill, or learn to program IMHO.

Firstly, thank you @admin for all your work! I know you mentioned you're maintaining and hosting a few #fediverse projects.

....But where do i go from here? I really liked #friendica 's ability to integrate and interact with like all the fediverse easily. I have friends on #blusky (bless #fedibridge) and #threads so that availability for interaction was great... but not all friendica instances support this. I do already have a #mastodon account, but the entire point to me moving here was to consolidate my #lemmy account and mastodon... Sadly, I recently found out that friendica can't really handle that nor was it intended and adding lemmy groups causes issues. And before this comes up... I cannot self host at the moment... I have been thinking/planning for it... but, not an option atm.

I dream of one account/app to interact with everything.

Hi everyone,

@joynewacc and I had the honour of speaking to four friends from Gaza today, meet some of their families, and to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Yosef (@yosefAziz)
• Mohammad (@Mohmad30)
• Asar (@AsarSameer)
• Doaa (@Aa102030)

They are also already showing on our donations page (and, as you can see, their fundraisers have had very little in donations over the past week, so hopefully the fediverse can step up and start to help them):

Please give them a follow and please share this so others can too.

News and social. One app.

We are incredibly excited and, honestly, really proud to be launching The Bristol Cable iOS app with The Bristol Cable today.

Our mission to unite knowledge sharing communities has never been more apparent as we continue the introduction of our Social Web enabled community apps. This time, with a news flavour! 🗞️

He's a developer, podcaster, and blogger.

He also created Echofeed, an app that looks great! Just go check it.

Today, he shares his thoughts on #Avengers, #WeekNotes, #Stickers, #BuJo , and #Tacos

He recommended also two books:

- How to lie with statistics
- So you've been publicly shamed

Expectation: A set of #Fediverse platforms where people engage in debating and talking around a given subject or hyperlink, actions of which imply a quite continuous flow of user-written texts, back and forth among the peers, especially when there's some kind of disagreement.

Reality: texts are there for virtue signaling and circlejerking around the allowed principles of the hive mind, and god forbid someone disagrees with any of said principles by bringing a well-elaborated text containing nuanced takes... People are too lazy to try and argue (and, by extension, promoting debate) so they treat the down arrow as if it were some kind of well-elaborated argument to the matter they're disagreeing with. Then they blame LLMs for taking over the means of human textual production, when themselves are giving away the ability of textual production on a silver plate.

I had several nice and interesting debates and exchanges on #Lemmy (and #threadiverse in general), but, oh, my Goddess, many Lemmy (actually, it's the entire Web) people really suck sometimes due to this lazy behavior of using numeric reactions instead of using the fucking keyboard they got in front of them.

Y U NO USE KEYBOARD?

I'm reading a New York Review of Books article about the Internet and the World Wide Web. The article discusses recent books by Tim Berners-Lee and Cory Doctorow. This paragraph caught my eye. Berners-Lee is the "he" at the start of the passage. Hurrah for Mastodon, I say. #Mastodon #Fediverse #Technology #Internet #SocialMedia #OpenSource

Alt...

A quote from an article in the New York Review of Books: "He [Tim Berners-Lee] urges us to walk away from Facebook and X in exchange for “something pro-human”—decentralized platforms like Mastodon, a user-controlled, open-source alternative in the so-called Fediverse. One virtue of the Fediverse, as [Cory] Doctorow also emphasizes, is that users can move freely from one server or community to another without losing their friends and followers.

Today is our third anniversary on Mastodon and the Fediverse for our daily 9PM #HashTagGames.

This past year, #Fediverse players have played over 100,000 game plays.

Including the special games that popup, we have shared over 1100 unique hashtag games since November 16, 2022.

Thank you for joining me every day for our little moment of silliness.

You know, I haven't mentioned lately how I am deeply grateful for – and proud of – the #Fediverse and all of you crazy mixed up denizens of it!

I mean, if it wasn't for the Fedi I would have abandoned all #SocialMedia years ago. But here, even with the snipes and the scolds (and maybe even a little because of them), I have found a place where there is no algorithm to distort the essential goodness inherent in most of humanity. Much less to give a bullhorn to a few sociopaths and haters.

About 1.5 years ago my dad passed suddenly. The family has been digging through a ton of saved stuff. Lots of it are reference books for fairly old applications. solidworks from 2009 windows 95 books, similar stuff similar vintage. Any value to these things or straight to the trash/recycle?

When musing about the current state of BookWyrm, @klu9 pointed me towards #NeoDB , which piqued my interest.

For one thing, it might be a viable replacement for BookWyrm. For another, it is apparently a #FOSS #Fediverse project developed in #China , which is admittedly not a country I had on my scope for major #OpenSource projects - most such projects I am aware of come from Europe and North America.

But that's always the problem - the limits of my own awareness rarely represent the totality of facts. Thus, when I notice gaps in my knowledge, it is my responsibility to do something to rectify them.

So can anyone tell me about the state of Open Source development in China?

Hi All,
Help me with suggestions please.

Wanna start posting contents like quotes in english language like my thoughts, motivational, inspiring , reality hitting, etc (short text format and rarely with images probably)😀. I plan to post them in a separate account.
So suggest me which platform in fediverse is suitable for this?
Instance suggestions are also welcome in additional to a particular platform.🤩

#fediverse #help #contentcreation #quotes #texts #instance #fedi #platform #inspiring

@juergen_hubert

I don't know what's going on with #Bookwyrm, but #NeoDB is actively maintained, developer introduced a couple of features per my requests about two months ago.

#Fediverse #FediHelp

I have to ask: How actively maintained is #BookWyrm as a project these days?

Apparently, my own instance - bookrastinating.com - recently lost its SSL certificates, and the admin account seems to be inactive.

And the archive/export function doesn't work, either, which makes me rather nervous.

Also, the Patreon Page for BookWyrm as a whole hasn't been updated since 2022.

#Fediverse #FediHelp

When speaking about the recent mysterious massive spambot attack on #fediverse, it tends to spread hybrid Russian war and political propaganda tailored to languages corresponding to given TLD. But the propaganda part is suspiciously mild, uninteresting and self-repeating - so it actually may be even just systematic nuisance effort, only masking as propaganda. Who knows.. I am no counter-espionage expert.

It may help to to cooperate and share lists of banned mailservers, from which they registered new accounts. I can contribute already more then 10, soon more. All of them are in .com TLD. Even if they have thousands of them, it should be still possible to create blacklist. But I am not sure, if more mail domains can be imported to Mastodon moderation backed at once...

At first, they were reusing IPv4 addresses and mail domains, but when they figured out, that double registrations from weird .com domains and exotic IP pools are extremely suspicious and immediately lead to bans, they no longer reuse mail domains.

In a way, this seems to be worse, than Nicole, the Fediverse chic. Although the random sequences of syllables (LLM tokens?) used as TLDs and .com domains create pattern, which can be somewhat recognized after some time, #mastodon moderation backend does not provide any useful way to automate this.

Closing registrations won't help, because before bots start doing their bot thing, you are never 100% sure, what you are banning. Someone clearly intends to force #Fediverse to switch to invite-only mode, but I don't want to subdue.

Hey there #fediverse ! What’s your preferred way of listening/collecting music? Let us know so that we can figure out the best way to get our hand-made music into your ears, if you’ll pardon the expression!

Three years ago today, we opened the doors to our corner of the Fediverse. 💙

What started as an idea has grown into a friendly space for good conversations, smart humor, and authentic interactions. It’s been amazing watching this community grow with all of you.

Thank you to everyone who’s shared, posted, and made Vivaldi Social part of their online space. You’ve helped shape this community into what it is today.

Here’s to everyone who’s been part of it, and to all the new voices we’ll meet along the way.

@bogo It's a good idea. But I have there ca. 500 people and almost all of them don't want to move to either #fediverse or #Signal (or any other "rational" messaging system). They are typically non-IT people and use Facebook and WhatsApp (and possibly Instagram or TikTok).

I am collecting other contact information from them (e-mail addresses, phone numbers...), but it's a long-distance run. When done (in the future), I will leave Facebook completely 😎

I think that website uses the ActivityPub plugin, which means that the link you have posted is _also_ a #Fediverse post - which Mastodon recognized.

Though I am surprised that quote posting worked here - I thought that quote posting only worked with other Mastodon posts.

OK - despite the fact that #money is *pretty* tight right now, I did a pledgey thing. I don't do pledgey things very often... I think the last thing I pledged was the #Pebble watch.
