can anyone tell me, does #Brave just not handle #Mastodon & the #Fediverse well, or it is something else?
all of my recent posts had to come from #Firefox because #Brave has been producing those crazy messages
This is the first thing i've been able to post from Brave in many hours
Der Bundespräsident hält eine Rede zum 9.11. und warnt vor der Gefahr von Algorithmen für die #Demokratie. Selbst ist er nur irgendwo von X bis Instagram präsent, nicht im #Fediverse.
"Schreiben Sie dem Bundespräsidenten" steht allerdings ganz unten. Joa, hab ich mal gemacht. Wollt ihr auch?
So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying?
That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.
Ich bin immer wieder unangenehme berührt über den rüden #Umgangston, der oft auf #XMPP herrscht und über #Eigentümer und #Moderatoren von #Chaträumen, die sehr schnell mit #Kritik und der #Drohung von #Maßnahmen und mit #Sperrungen bei der Hand sind.

I think everyone who has #Wordpress should use Jetpack, so they can connect their blog to their favorite #Fediverse account. And start posting as you would normally when posting a blog.
The lighthouse is in its slippers.
The servers are wearing cardigans.
The kettle has been promoted to senior management.
The sea is politely murmuring,
the dogs are auditing the biscuit supply,
and the light goes round and round
like it’s got nowhere else to be (because it doesn’t).
Nothing urgent. Nothing loud.
Just a small, stubborn glow
doing its best against the weekend.

Pixelfed is broken. Cc: @mastodonmigration @tchambers and anyone else in the fediverse advocacy space who will listen.
@dansup and the #Pixelfed project are well aware of this.
@pixelfed has extremely broken ActivityPub support and has for a year (possibly more).
For reference:

This is completely unacceptable and has been going on for ages. @dansup who will no doubt block this account and ignore the issues continues to ignore these issues.

#BostonWeekend 21/x Every week I sit down and try and find the coolest experiences near where I live, and for the past few years I've been sharing options here on #Mastodon as a way to meet people and grow community here. No AI, no Ads, just a DIY thread of what looks fun. If this resonates, pass the message along with a boost; I always enjoy hearing from folks that end up going to events that they found out about via me. You can do cool projects like this here on the #fediverse to win internet points. #massachusetts
RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.
@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.
Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate
We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

Implementing Encrypted Messaging over ActivityPub
One of the project areas of the Social Web Foundation for the last year has been end-to-end encrypted messaging. ActivityPub, the standard protocol that powers the Social Web, has privacy controls, but they do not protect the content of messages from server operators. Encrypted messaging has become a standard feature on most social networks since ActivityPub was created, and its lack has inhibited Social Web adoption and public trust in the network.

One of the project areas of the Social Web Foundation for the last year has been end-to-end encrypted messaging. ActivityPub, the standard protocol that powers the Social Web, has privacy controls, but they do not protect the content of messages from server operators. Encrypted messaging has become a standard feature on most social networks since ActivityPub was created, and its lack has inhibited Social Web adoption and public trust in the network.
ActivityPub is extensible, though. As part of our E2EE program, Mallory, Tom and I adapted the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard as an extension of ActivityPub to make the MLS over ActivityPub specification. The protocol fits the great MLS E2EE system onto the ActivityPub API and federation protocol.
But a protocol specification is not enough; it must be implemented. That’s why we’re so happy to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund has commissioned work with the Social Web Foundation to coordinate two new interoperable implementations of MLS over ActivityPub. This investment by the Sovereign Tech Fund will help move the Fediverse towards more privacy for social web users, no matter what server they use.
We decided to partner with two different projects in order to make sure that we’re making an open standard that can work between implementations. With two implementers, we’ll need to communicate clearly about architectural and implementation decisions, and make sure that those decisions end up in the final version of the spec — not in a
TODOcomment in the source code of a single project.The first project is Emissary, the great social web application platform behind projects like Atlas and Bandwagon. Ben Pate, Emissary founder, says, “The Emissary Project is deeply committed to the Fediverse, where we are building a free and trustworthy Internet for all 8 billion humans. Delivering on that promise, Emissary is excited to team up with the Social Web Foundation to bring End-to-End-Encryption (E2EE) to the Fediverse. We are eternally grateful for the SWF’s leadership and support, without which this project could not have happened. Our work is already underway, and in 2026 anyone will be able to build E2EE applications on the Emissary platform.”
The second project is Bonfire. Bonfire is a modular framework for building federated apps, with its first app (Bonfire Social) offering a social networking experience enhanced with tools for privacy, trust, and collaboration (such as circles and boundaries).
The maintainers of Bonfire, Ivan Minutillo and Mayel de Borniol, said: “We think that end-to-end encryption should simply be the default for any private communication online. Working with the Social Web Foundation to bring E2EE to ActivityPub marks a crucial step in fostering privacy and trust, and especially in enabling the fediverse to become a safe space for activists and communities to organise, coordinate, and collaborate meaningfully. By making secure, user-friendly messaging a core part of the fediverse, we’re helping lay the groundwork for decentralised networks where people can go beyond talking in the mythical ‘global town square’ and actually organise and accomplish things together.”
This work will happen best if the Fediverse community tracks it closely. We’ll be making updates here on the SWF blog as progress continues. Developers and active users may also be interested in the ActivityPub E2EE Messaging Task Force at the W3C, where the specification is being developed into a report for the Social Web Community group. Finally, we’ll be using the #JustBetweenUs hashtag to share progress and ideas, so you can follow it to see what’s been happening.

Fediverse has a thing for fragmenting a small user base to a federated world. I was starting to enjoy Lemmy and just found out about Piefed. I am toying with sharkey when I read about mastodon.social being judged too big for federation’s good. That is so weird. No wonder why people stick to mainstream platforms
i just discovered @laurenshof and their #Fediverse reports
Very interesting✨
when i see people on #Threads, i wonder why they don't just come to #Mastodon & reach the same audience w/o giving Zuck their $ & data. this covers some issues
Discusses #Peertube which i've been excited about as a #youtube alt for left #media if we can get them to build that migration
#Ghost & #wordpress i've been looking into bc #Substack news, but i'm writing on some issues i see (tbd)

Fediverse Report 147 - this week's #fediverse news:
Threads is putting their fediverse integration on maintenance mode after it has seen very little use, signalling the end to a tumultuous period for the fediverse. Zuckerberg's belief in decentralised social networking, saying in 2023 that he "has always believed in this stuff", might not be so strong after all

Are you a #Fediverse #Admin and run an instance?
Please ensure that it can also communicate outbound via #IPv6.
@technik describes how to do this with #Mastodon using Docker.
I think i'll Move to @Stomata@fedi.absturztau.be (an akkoma instance). Guess I have finally decided to leave Mastodon my no Github journey.
I'll spend some more time to get used to akkoma. Wish me luck

just wow! i was making notes in an app on my #Android phone using vtt as i oft do, when it stopped working. a note on the mic said to restart my phone to use the function
when i restarted it, an icon for #GeminiAI appeared. went to Apps to remove it but wasn't there. I checkd Info, & #Google appeared. I now cant remove Gemini w/o removing Google which operates most of the phone😱
looks like i have to move up my plans to migrate to a #Linux OS like #Sailfish

I've got a question for the folks on the #fediverse #askfedi
Why do you put in your bio that (views are my own)
Who's else would they be?
Real, genuin question.
🫖
There is a Fediverse alternative to #Substack called #Ghost.
Ghost is now compatible with the Fediverse. It's not just a feed, Ghost-powered sites can take part in discussions with Mastodon etc accounts, the follows work in both directions etc.
There's a guide to using Ghost-powered sites on the Fediverse here:

Some Ghost-powered sites to follow at:

As @FreddieJ comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved.
Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast.
Instrumental in building our relationships with others in this space, he has helped build the Foundation into what you see today.
We really hope that Freddie will stay involved in the Social Web, especially in areas of advocacy and policy where he excels.
But, for now, we just want to say a huge thank you 🧡

i got in a stupid shouting match with someone over a year ago. their server limited me
because i fucking fuckity fuck fuck swear too much. i'm bad meanie man, hurt fee fees
anyway after awhile we unblocked each other. we had nice interactions
now, we follow each other
that's human
what's inhuman?
i'm still limited on that server
fire and forget #moderation corrodes the #fediverse
suspends and limits should expire after awhile (apart from bigotry spam etc)

Das war aber auch gemein 😆!
Ganz spontan und unvorbereitet sollten die Kolleginnen und Kollegen einen neuen Slogan für den Zoll erfinden.
Wir finden die Ergebnisse echt amüsant, aber durchaus... ausbaufähig. 😜
💬 Jetzt ist das #Fediverse gefragt:
Welchen neuen Slogan würdet ihr vorschlagen?
Fediway brings algorithmic feeds to Mastodon.
https://github.com/fediway/fediway
(Found it on Reddit. Haven't tried it yet.)
As the year winds down, we’ve wrapped up a release that brings better moderation tools, a new way to display reactions, and a small surprise, just in time for the holidays.
Moderation can be hard work, especially on the Fediverse, where conversations flow in from all directions. This release introduces new tools that help you stay in control with less manual effort.
You can now subscribe to shared blocklists and let the plugin keep them up to date automatically. Subscribed lists are synced on a weekly cadence, so changes made upstream are reflected on your site without you having to lift a finger.

On top of that, we’ve added a bulk domain blocklist importer. You can upload a CSV or plain text file, including Mastodon-style exports, and quickly add large numbers of domains at once. To make it even easier to get started, the importer includes a one-click option for the popular community-maintained IFTAS DNI list (@about.iftas.org).

Together, these features make moderation more scalable and less stressful, so you can spend more time engaging and less time firefighting.
Reactions are a big part of how conversations feel alive on the Fediverse, and now you have more control over how they appear on your site.
The Fediverse Reactions block gained a new Summary display style. Instead of showing a facepile of avatars, this option presents reactions as clean, inline counters for comments, likes, boosts, and replies. It’s a great fit for minimal layouts, feeds, or sites where avatars are disabled.

You can switch between the classic facepile and the new summary style directly in the block settings. And if avatars are turned off in discussion settings, the block automatically falls back to the summary view.
One more thing, for the curious among you, there’s now an early preview of the ActivityPub Reader, hidden behind a feature flag in the Advanced settings tab. If you don’t see it yet, open Screen Options at the top right of the ActivityPub settings page, check “Advanced Settings,” and save. That reveals the Advanced tab where you can enable the Reader.

When enabled, this adds a new “Social Web” submenu to your Dashboard menu item. An place where you can read posts and shares from accounts you follow, turning your WordPress admin into a lightweight Fediverse reader.
Because this is still very much a work in progress, the Reader is disabled by default and clearly marked as experimental. The UI, behavior, and feature set will change significantly in future releases as we explore what a great native Fediverse reading experience inside WordPress could look like.
If you enjoy testing new ideas, we’d love to hear your feedback, whether it’s bug reports, rough edges you’ve noticed, or ideas about what this Reader should become. Early input helps shape where this goes next, so feel free to share your thoughts in whatever form works best for you.
A special thank-you to everyone who joined us during the recent office hours — for the questions, the thoughtful feedback, and the great conversations about where ActivityPub for WordPress should go next. Talking directly with you helps shape these releases more than any roadmap ever could.
See you in 2026 — and happy holidays!

Reddit is officially on my hit list, and honestly, I’m just tired. I was banned for literally saying “I’m trans.” That’s it. No arguments, no insults, no rule breaking just existing as myself. What is actually going on with the internet right now? On top of that, I also got banned from my favorite anime subreddit for sharing my thoughts about One Punch Man Season 3 specifically the episode with the Monster Garou encounter and saying it looked AI-generated. I wasn’t attacking anyone, I wasn’t being hostile, I was just trying to have a discussion. Right now, Reddit feels really bad to be on. Moderation feels inconsistent and overly harsh, and it honestly feels like you can get punished just for speaking openly or having an opinion. I’m not even trying to fully drag Reddit anymore because I’m exhausted from constantly calling out platforms but this crossed a line. I’m just frustrated. Being trans shouldn’t be controversial, and having a discussion about media shouldn’t get you kicked out of a community you enjoy. At this point, it feels like being honest online is treated like a problem, and I’m really over it.

Also go check out @MonaApp@mastodon.social 7 is out now!!!
we are on the #fediverse and I shouldn't be needing to say this, but if it is centralized it is NOT a solution, end of the conversation, no "but"s, how many times do we need to repeat the same error again until you learn?
Which #fediverse #activitypub server is the easiest to run in #docker?
I'd like to test my own AP software without littering the live network
@coastgnu da ist halt auch viel:
- Hörensagen
- es sich noch nicht einmal angeschaut haben
- "Haben wir schon immer so gemacht"
und das #HenneEi-Problem mit im Spiel. Menschen tendieren stets dorthin zu gehen, wo bereits "alle"/die meisten sind.
Nur deshalb geht auch Elon Musks Strategie auf. Nostr oder Truth Social hätte er niemals so schnell groß bekommen, selbst mit viel Geld nicht.

It makes me sick that Trump's truth.social social media platform is based on a fork of Mastodon. 😡 #mastodon #fediverse #activitypub.
I searched on a #mastodon forum for answers to my question " #NoBot no longer works, what current hashtag prevents s bots from following accounts?" and do not yet have an answer.
Thus I ask the #fediverse: what can users do with their profiles to repel bot-follows?
Out of the following operating systems, which one do you use the most, not at work, but in your free personal time?
Please consider boosting for a larger sample size. Thank you.

Long day? Of course it was
Meetings that should've been
emails.
Emails that should've been ignored
The liahthouse is still on. No
alqorithms shouting
No engagement traps. Just a
steady light and a quiet place
to put your brain down for five
minutes.
You've earned calmer waters

The lighthouse wakes before the
world. Frost on the railinas, servers
humming like a steady tide, coffee
steaming against the cold. No hype
No noise. Just a calm beam cutting
through winter static, guiding
wanderers who prefer warmth, craft
and quiet control over their own corner
of the sea

@tasket
> Newcomers tolerate the bad UX for a while and then leave
Just as likely, people set up Mastodon accounts in a fit of pique, and never really use them.
There's also the possibility of people quitting social media (apps for public posting) in general, in favour of social networking using chat groups etc;
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/7-reasons-to-think-social-media-has-peaked.html
But active account numbers in the fediverse, and more importantly overall server numbers, continue to be much higher than pre-2024.

RE: https://goingdark.social/@fanfare/115726138546662109
This outage showed me how much I love this little instance. At the same time, it reminded me that I won't be able to run it completely alone forever.
Teaming up with others would make it stronger and more fun for everyone.If you're interested in helping out, whether you already know Kubernetes or Mastodon administration or you're just curious and willing to learn, please DM me.
Experience isn't required. Enthusiasm is what matters.It could be reviewing configs, handling updates, writing wiki pages, moderating reports, or jumping in for bigger moments.
Occasional help is welcome, and becoming a co-admin would be amazing.
No pressure at all. I'd just love to share the journey with someone who cares about the Fediverse. Thank you! ❤️

AodeRelay boostedWe're back online! 🐘Huge sorry for the ~3-day outage. a serious database failure required a full restore from backups.
With a 6-month-old baby and being the only admin here, my available time was limited, which delayed getting everything fixed.The good news: backups worked, data is fully restored, and this outage taught me a ton. I've now got a much better recovery strategy in place. we've come out stronger and more resilient.Thank you all for your incredible patience. This community means the world to me. ❤️
"If you talk on the Fediverse about how great Linux is, everyone will be really sweet to you about it."
I wish I had #fediverse (#mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #friendica #hubzilla #iceshrimp #snac #lemmy #mbin #kbin #piefed ) #client , I mean like #ELK #lmst #pl-fe #phanpy #tooty #sengi #pinafore #halcyon . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include #tags. Each #tag must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other #reddit #forum like #activitypub implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon #tags.
Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the #f2f p2p architecture of #scuttlebot (#scuttlebutt) kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.
!fediverse@piefed.social @fediverse
Is #Fediverse or #Mastodon structurally more resilient to mass bot accounts? I know that for the moment it seems so, but I'm sure that is primarily because the market is relatively so small, that investing in that makes little sense.
Yet, we are coming closer to situation where AI will be capable to register indistinguishable accounts (or maybe we're here). At the same time, FB might (hopefully) enshittify itself to unbearable levels, which combined to unreliable US policies can make many democracies really hostile to it.
So, my question is: are there serious arguments for fediverse being somewhat futreproof to hostile bots? Can it be projected as a go-to solution for masses, in theory, or will there be a need for some very different long term solution?

The web gets loud at dusk — dashboards blinking, feeds shouting, algorithms jangling their loose change.
Up here, the Lighthouse stays steady.
Quiet servers. Human pace. No bait, no burn.

Officially going to ditch my Matrix account thanks to the poor accessibility experience with the Element X mobile app and the Element web app… neither of these options play nicely with screen readers in their current form, and my level of frustration has reached its breaking point. I’ll be removing all links to my Matrix account from my website in the near future, but all other links to my social media and messaging apps are still valid. Basically, accessibility is my primary roadblock using more apps on the Fediverse as it seems most of them, don’t take accessibility for screen reader users into account in their design, or if they do, it’s not a serious commitment. #A11Y #Accessibility #Fediverse #Matrix #ElementX #ElementWeb
I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.

One good thing about Fedi is it diversity, we have so much different critters! We even have some humans.

Hey #fediFriends
Is there interest in monthly support crowdfunding @hosford42 to work on building a matchmaking platform for folks to find local connections of the fediverse community?
An interface to find #meatspaceFediFriends basically.
This is a brand new idea as per:

@hosford42 @nando161 I would be interesting to know the demographics of search these days.
I could do a poll, but a poll of my snowballed #Fediverse users is likely to be entirely unrepresentative of general internet users.
For myself I stay clear of both Google and ChatGPT (have never even invoked the latter even as an experiment, reputation is enough) and mostly a use keyword search on DDG with the AI turned off and still get the same experience as always, if somewhat more enshittified by SEO and AI slop.
"Every Activity Pub server duplicates content. Without it there'd be no seeing posts from anybody on servers other than their home server. It's literally the thing that makes the protocol work. If being on a protocol that specifically is designed to duplicate content isn't permission enough to duplicate content then the Fediverse goes poof. Zilch. Zero. Nada."

Well put. Found via a link here;
Monday morning.
The world boots loudly, throws pop-ups, demands passwords and obedience.
Out here, we check the weather, scan the logs, and get on with it.
No stand-up meetings with a thousand ghosts. No growth hacks.
Just quiet systems, owned end-to-end, doing exactly what they’re told.
Light steady. Coffee strong. Let’s begin.

@fediforum It's quite ironic that videos from the #Fediverse conference are not on a Fediverse platform such as #Peertube, but on Vimeo.
This skipped my timeline somehow - FediForum recordings from the Nov 2025 event at SFSCon.
Im Moment zeige ich meine Fotografien hier auf Sharkey, auf einer selbst erstellten Online-Galerie und auf fotocommunity.de. Im Fediverse gibt es ja noch Pixelfed und Vernissage. Wie macht ihr das?
Bei letzterem habe ich extra recherchiert welche Server genutzt werden und wie es um den Datenschutz steht. Server von Hetzner und Datenschutz sieht gut aus, alles DSGVO konform.
Pixelfed ist an Instagram angelehnt und Vernissage wirkt wie ein klassisches Foto forum, was aber sehr premium aussieht, gefällt mir sehr gut.
Der Grund weshalb ich dennoch bei Sharkey bin und nicht auf Vernissage, ist dass ich hier mit meinem Künstler:innen-Profil auch nur Texte posten kann und von anderen Künstler:innen Text-Posts lesen kann. Ich wollte es gern vermeiden zwei Profile, auf zwei Plattformen, für die selbe Sache zu nutzen.
Midnight.
The sensible world is snoring.
This is when the keepers walk the stairs, check the logs, listen for odd noises in the dark.
No applause. No metrics. Just systems that either hold… or don’t.
We don’t chase the tide at this hour — we wait, watch, and keep the light burning.
If you’re still awake, you already know why you’re here.

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies

Pertama masalah resource lawan performa. Misskey pakai #nodejs yg karakteristiknya non-blocking #async jadi tidak perlu banyak worker dibandingkan #rubyonrails nya #mastodon.
Kedua, misskey tidak cache remote media gak kayak mastodon yang simpan semua remote media (bikin boros kapasitas #s3).
Colek @adhisimon@mastodon.kodesumber.com
Tapi itu ya baru kesan pertama saya.
Ima still hazy on the #Fediverse thing. Please may I enquire as to whether there is there an updated list of all federated apps and websites somewhere?
Would love to run it all on my Pi. 😊
Kira-kira enaknya kita open registration gak ya?
