Interesting. It seems like there are way more Linux users here than I expected.

So, let’s do a little roll call:

What are you using?

Linux?
Windows?
macOS?
BSD?
Something beautifully weird?

I’m curious 👀

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Osama Al-Shawaf (@osamaayman595)
• Hilal (@Hilalgazayafa)

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

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

Hey! I bet some people around the #Fediverse are interested in the video games Quality Assurance craft.

Each year, there's a big Games #QA conference named #Qualicon. The organizers provide some free scholarship passes, to help underrepresented or unemployed people to attend the event.

The conference is fully online, has great speakers, it's very well organized, it's both professional and exciting.

You can apply to get a free pass here:

Wie kann es sein, dass eine bestehende, nutzbare Infrastruktur wie das dezentrale Netzwerk kaum Beachtung findet? Gerade in Berlin, wo mit Mastodon eine der bekanntesten Plattformen dieser Art entstanden ist, und mit dem rbb ein Medium mit regionalem Sendeauftrag existiert, müsste doch ein Impuls für mehr Vielfalt ausgehen. Doch stattdessen herrscht fast vollständige Unsichtbarkeit. 1/2

AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?

UPDATE: proof is at https://piefed.social/c/fediverse/p/2035409/proof-of-ai-assisted-political-profiling-by-unruffled-lemmy-dbzer0-com. The main instance is lemmy.dbzer0.com but anarchist.nexus and quokka.au share admin/mod teams so those two are suspect also.

I recently discovered that some popular federated instances have been using LLM-assisted moderation tooling that evaluates whether someone has said something bannable. They do this by running a script/app that sends the user’s comment history to OpenAI with the question “analyze this content for evidence of *specific political ideology* sentiment. Also identify any *related political ideology* tropes“.

OpenAI’s LLM (they’re using GPT-5.3-mini) then responds with something like:

Below is a structured analysis of the uploaded content, focused on *specific ideology* rhetoric. This is an analytic classification, not a moral judgement.

1. Overall Pattern

blah blah

2. Evidence of *specific ideology* sentiment

blah blah

3. several pages more, concluding with (in this case)

Yes, the content contains:

Clear *specific ideology* alignment
Repeated *specific ideology* framing, especially through blah blah
Extensive use of canonical *ideology* tropes, in blah blah domains.

The pattern is not accidental or isolated; it is consistent, internally coherent, and reproduces well‑documented *country with the ideology* public‑diplomacy narratives rather than neutral analysis.

========================================

and so on, hundreds of comments.

I have not named the instances or people involved, to give them time to consider the results of this discussion, make any corrective changes they want and disclose their practices at their own pace and in their own way. I have also redacted the evidence to avoid personal attacks and dogpiling. Let’s focus on the system, not the individuals involved. Today these instances are using it and maybe we’re ok with that because it’s being used by communities we agree with but what if people we strongly disagree with used it on their instances tomorrow?

The use and existence of this tooling raises a lot of questions.

What are the risks? Fedi moderators are often unsupervised, untrained volunteers and these are powerful tools.

What safeguards do we need?

Would asking a LLM “please evaluate this person’s political opinions” give different results than “find evidence we can use to ban them” (as used in the cases I’ve seen)?

What are our transparency expectations?

Is this acceptable and normal?

Should this tooling be disclosed? (it was not – should it have been?)

If you were given a choice, would you have opted out of it?

Can we opt out?

Are there GDPR implications? Privacy implications? Should these tools be described in a privacy policy?

Are private messages being scanned and sent to OpenAI?

How long should these assessments be retained and can we request to see it, or ask for it to be deleted?

Once the user’s comments are sent to OpenAI, is it used to train their models?

What will the effect be on our discourse and culture if people know they are being politically profiled?

Where are the lines between normal moderation assistance tools, political profiling and opaque 3rd-party data processing?

I hope that by chewing over these questions we can begin to establish some norms and expectations around this technology. The fediverse doesn’t have any centralized enforcement so we need discussions like this to develop an awareness of what people want in terms of disclosure, privacy, consent and acceptable use. Then people can make choices about which instances they join and which ones they interact with remotely.

And of course there are the other issues with LLMs relating to environmental sustainability, erosion of worker’s rights, increasing the cost of living and on and on. I can’t see PieFed adding any functionality like this anytime soon. But it’s happening out there anyway so now we need to talk about it.

What do you make of this?

@christin @fluffy @creativecommons OF course, #FediSuite is quite overkill the way LibreOffice Writer would be overkill to edit Markdown.

That being said I too want to see #Canimus succeed as another Client/Tool, because the #Fediverse *THRIVES* on it's vibrant ecosystem and open #API|s that allow everyone to build for and around it.

- This alone is what makes it "superior" to centralized, corporate antisocial media sites, because developers don't need to beg & pray for "API Keys" on Fedi…

And sometimes, small and nifty tools are better for that job.

- Whereas FediSuite is propably the #1 tool I'd point #SocialMediaManagers at when they want to get into the #Fediverse because it's basically a better #TweetDeck (aka. #Mastodon "ADVANCED" UI) / #HootSuite alternative…

Applauding @admin for taking a strong, well-argued stand on this.

Can we get more admins onboard?

Screenshot of a Mastodon server's server rules: Don’t police others’ use of CWs, alt text, or tags Whilst we have some guidelines around when to use CWs, alt text, and tags, we only have one rule about them: Use CWs for adult or NSFW content. You can politely ask other people to use specific CWs, alt text, or tags that you prefer, as long as you don’t state your preferences as absolute rules or requirements. This is especially important when marginalised people speak about their experiences of marginalisation. For example, if you are not BIPOC, don’t tell BIPOC to hide their experiences of racism behind CWs.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Möchte mich heute von Herzen bei Euch allen hier auf #Mastodon bedanken! 🙏

In den langen Jahren auf algorithmischen Konzernmedien wie Facebook (bis 2019), Meta und X (danach ebenfalls raus) hatte ich „gelernt“, dass auf jede Erwähnung meiner deutsch-türkischen & christlich-islamischen Familie Hass & Hetze folgten.

Zehra & ich waren uns zwar einig, dass wir uns nicht einschüchtern lassen. Doch schön war das nicht, nach selbstverständlicher Akzeptanz von Vielfalt fühlte es sich nicht an.

Am Sonntag hatte ich es mal hier gewagt, über Familienglück & Glauben zu posten. Ich gebe zu, dass ich mit digitaler Gewalt, Beschimpfungen, Hohn rechnete.

Doch bis heute - kein Hate. Einfach Mit-Freude, Dialog, gegenseitiger Respekt.

Wow. Ich hatte fast vergessen, dass so etwas auch in unserer Zeit noch möglich ist.

Das #Fediverse ist nicht nur freundlicher, dialogischer. Für jene von uns, die die algorithmischen Konzernmedien verließen, kann es sogar heilend sein… 🙏🌈🤔🥰

Dr. Michael Blume » 🌐 2026-05-10 / 2026-05-10
@BlumeEvolution@digitalcourage.social

Bin glücklich.🙏

Zehra & ich ließen unsere Kinder in je gemeinsamen Feiern christlich & muslimisch segnen, zwangen ihnen aber keine Religionszugehörigkeit auf.

Heute nahm auch das dritte Kind die evangelische Taufe freiwillig an & geht seinen Weg mit Gott in Rabbi Jehoschua / Jesus.

Auch ich ließ mich erst als Erwachsener taufen. Und so groß meine Zuneigung zur Vielfalt der Kirchen ⛪️ ist, so wählte ich doch bewusst 1 evang. Landeskirche, in der Frauen und Männer in allen Ämtern gleichgestellt sind. Ich glaube fest, dass Gott in die Herzen aller schaut & niemanden diskriminiert.

Entsprechend betrüben mich auch Dualisten, die „das Abendland“ durch Hass & Hetze gegen jüdische, muslimische, anders- oder nichtreligiöse Menschen „verteidigen“ wollen.

Es sind Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung, diese drei - doch die Liebe ist die Größte unter ihnen.

Meine Erfahrung: Wenn Du wirklich glauben & hoffen willst ✝️, dann hasse nicht - dann liebe. 🫶🏻

I'm curious just how far it would be possible to go, in terms of functionality, if one were to make a Fediverse server and a web frontend to go with it, where said frontend is written entirely in HTML and CSS and nothing else.  Would it even function, enough?  I feel like if so then that simply has to be more secure than anything involving JS (or whatever else like that, but that I know of offhand, JS)… right?

I know blind people that willingly don't describe their images on Facebook.

I know blind people, actually, the majority of blind people, that *love* cloud based LLMs and can't stand any critique of the shitty people behind the tool, let alone the companies.

I know blind people that want TTS narrating audiobooks and audio description for everyone instead of humans.

I know blind people that sincerely believe audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting because Braille is better so audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting.

I know blind people that argue against having audio description and against accessibility because we should be fully independent.

Sighted people must understand that in the blind community especially, there's a *LOT* of blind people and even otherwise disabled people that *hate* all this “PC nonsense” PC is political correctness, but they're arguing against their own interests.

It happens in my own gay community too so instead of listening to blind people that hate other blind people, why not listen to a collective of blind people/other disabled people working to better local or digital environments.

I honestly didn't like the Against Access article when it came out, and I certainly don't like this quote being used to argue *against* access/accessibility instead of participating in an ongoing conversation about an optional filter.

FediSuite

Wenn du deinen Account ernsthaft pflegen willst, brauchst du Regelmäßigkeit. Aber Regelmäßigkeit heißt nicht, dass du jeden Abend pünktlich am Rechner sitzen und ein Foto hochladen musst. Mit dem Scheduling von FediSuite setzt du dich einmal hin, schreibst zehn Beiträge für die Woche und planst sie minutengenau in deiner Zeitzone. Im Hintergrund laufen Worker, die deine Posts pünktlich rausschicken, auch wenn deine Instanz mal überlastet ist oder ein Rate-Limit zickt. Du kannst danach wieder dein Leben leben, statt deinen Wecker nach deinem Posting-Plan zu stellen.

Like on resources. I can run this on a potato if I want and it would still run great (I'm not, but I could*.)

• Backups are easy. Tar up the directory. Done.
• Migrations are easy. Install nginx, build snac, untag backup. Done.
• Quirky web interface. It takes a little to get used to it, but it is very functional and it's got character. I thought I would use Phanpy with it more, but I'm not. I enjoy the snac web interface.
• Works (mostly) with Mastodon clients.
• No crazy caching of photos, avatars and other media. This is a really big deal because my disk usage is so much lower than when I ran Mastodon.
• No database. NO DATABASE. So good.

We have received a Copyright claim from Amazon for our @peertube instance videos.trom.tf/ . Hetzner, the hosting company where we have the dedicated server at, gave us 24h to resolve it.

The problem?

The video in question, a documentary about "aliens", a garbage piece of content, was NOT hosted on our instance, of course. But since Peertube is federated the idiots sent the claim to our hosting company. Even if UNDER the video you can see that video is "Posted By:" and the instance and username. It takes a few seconds to see where the video is hosted.

But who cares...maybe Amazon has "AI Agents" employed and they simply find a video of theirs on a URL and see the IP of that URL and submit a Copyright claim to the hosting where that domain is registered?!

Bunch of idiots.

But it is very concerning the fact that they can do these and we, the ones who hosts (and for free for that matter), need to quickly "fix" these things even if the claim has nothing to do with our server.

We eventually had to block that URL, thanks Peertube for allowing that, else these idiots cannot understand that it was not us who were hosting that video.

La DevConf sarà un evento davvero interessante, ricco di interventi stimolanti.

Il programma prevede argomenti a tutto tondo, con una particolare attenzione al Fediverse e alle tecnologie di comunicazione libera.

Personalmente presenterò #FediMeteo, raccontando come è nato, perché, come è fatto, a chi è rivolto, alla libertà dietro il progetto stesso. E ad una truffa.

Stay tuned!

@LittleRedhead Hi @CBfotos. Welcome to the #Fediverse!

Happy Mother's Day, Fediverse!

Back during Covid lockdown, I answered a Craigslist ad for a 9-month-old Chiweenie. I've been Jaxon's mummy ever since. Attached is the first photo I took of Jaxon, the day he arrived, and a photo I took today. Same bed; very different dog.

So today's 3 Good Things centers on being a dogmom to a dog with special emotional and psychological needs.

🐕 I am never alone. Like I literally can't even pee by myself, lol 😂 and when I use the bathroom, suddenly he *also* must "go", so I never have to worry about not getting enough sun, because Jaxon will sniff every square inch of the backyard until he finds that one that's the perfect spot to drop his little bomb.

🐕 I am never afraid of being caught at home alone, because Jaxon would gladly gut any strangers like a fish. This is kind of a big deal because I wanted a dog for protection at home. On the other paw, Jaxon has been formally uninvited to the big family Christmas.

🐕 I never have to worry about having cold feet at night. Jaxon sleeps on the bed and puts off so much body heat that winter is never an issue. But don't get me started about summer!

A brown, shorthair Chiweenie puppy, weighing only 9 pounds at the time, lays on my unmade bed, with one front paw kicked out in front of him. His puppy collar is made of blue denim. One ear lays flat against his head, and the other is halfway cocked outward. This was a hard moment to capture, because he was a VERY BUSY little man for the first 5 years. Now at 6-years-old, he has finally slowed down enough to regularly ask for snuggles. He's at his happy best on a bed, which is why there are so many photos of him there.

Alt...

Another photo of Jaxon laying on my bed, exposing his soft white underside for a belly scratch. One ear is almost laying flat. One ear is cocked out for maximum reception. He now weighs about 16 pounds, and is almost, but not quite, normal. Most of the time.

• Only notify the banned person about their ban if they previously posted in the community they were banned from. This stops abusive mods from using bans as a form of harassment.
• Modlog: Reason for the action is only shown from trusted instances, so abusive mods won’t have an audience. Admins can still see the reason though. Which instances are trusted is set in the admin UI.
• Instance silencing similar to Mastodon. A silenced instance is not defederated from but their posts do not show in the Popular or All feeds and their communities are not shown in Starter packs aka Topics. Their communities can still be found in the communities list and joined in the normal way. Once joined, posts in there show up in the subscribed feed as usual.
• Per-user number of posts per page. Previously this was an admin setting but now individuals can override this to be a lesser number if they wish.
• Spinning “loading” animations on slow forms.

Und jetzt mal ein Downer, damit's nicht zu schön wird:

Das #Fediverse ist quasi auch eine Künstler:innen-Kolonie. Ein Ort der Schönheit… und der fehlenden Relevanz.

Ehrlich gesagt: weil sich hier viele nicht trauen, selbst Politik zu machen. Ich habe knapp 5200 Follower:innen.

Eine Bundesdelegiertenkonferenz (BDK) hat ~800-900 Delegierte. D.h. ein 12tel von Euch = #Fediverse/FLOSS-affine Mehrheit auf einer BDK.

Just saying.

Frage mich, ob der Marktanteil der Fediverse-Dienste höher wäre, wenn man statt von #Fediverse von #Föderation sprechen würde.

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

Ich bin zu folgender Einschätzung gelangt:

Das #Fediverse ist der digitale Biohof des Internets: Alles macht irre viel Arbeit, es gibt keine Vorgaben von oben, das Marketing sieht aus, als hätten es eine Sechsjährige und ihr Hamster verantwortet, und finanziell ist es schlicht ein Desaster.

📦 FediSuite ist umgezogen!

Alle vier Repositories von FediSuite sind ab sofort auf Codeberg zu finden:

👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Plugins
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Android-App

Die bisherigen GitHub-Repos werden in naher Zukunft archiviert. Bugreports, Issues, Feature Requests und Pull Requests werden ab sofort ausschließlich über Codeberg angenommen.

👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image/issues

Warum der Umzug? FediSuite soll bewusst unabhängiger von großen US-Tech-Konzernen werden. GitHub gehört Microsoft und läuft auf US-Infrastruktur – mit Blick auf den US CLOUD Act und digitale Souveränität wirft das berechtigte Fragen auf. Codeberg wird von einem deutschen gemeinnützigen Verein betrieben und passt deutlich besser zu einem Projekt, das auf Self-Hosting, Unabhängigkeit und europäische Infrastruktur setzt.

“Is this browser actually good?”

Yes, it's good. Yes, you should try it.

I lost about 50% of my followers 😒

Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.

They deleted two of Geri’s posts.

Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.

Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

@aral @david_chisnall mastdon.online - they were criticisms of the the media not mentioning the Muslim being stabbed at that event and thereby framing it exclusively as antisemitism. But hey ho.

I emphasised the abhorrent nature of AS in my post but concluded how further posts may be viewed

Super spannender und netter Tag heute auf der #2MR. Ich habe ziemlich viel über das #Fediverse gelernt UND ein bisschen Hoffnung gesammelt, dass das mit dem alternativen Sozialen Internet doch noch klappen könnte.

I hoped to get more people involved, but that wasn’t the case. Perhaps the next one will be 😅.
