@mosseri This is great, but when will @threads be able to communicate with #Fediverse accounts off site‽
@minnermann nothing. Now, if we're talking the entire #Fediverse, not just Mastodon, then not having your data owned by a corporation is quite nice.

#WeekInFediverse #Fediverse #ActivityPub
Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/019330d7-6146-f490-7c7e-f0fdd8202d92
was at #npdev summit all day in #oakland and told so many people about the #fediverse my brain hurts.
I don't want to take anything away from Jay Graber. She is an effective leader that has steered her company to massive growth,
But I feel like she needs to work on her elevator pitch for what it means for a system to be "decentralized". Note: no one says the word "federated" in this interview.
Of course, it would be nice if #bluesky was *actually* decentralized. Maybe that is why she struggles with the question?
I’ve been using #mastodon for a while now but it’s been truly amazing using #openvibe to surf and interact with all of the scientists and data folks I can find on masto and blue sky feeds AT THE SAME TIME. Making the dream of an open, connected #fediverse real! @openvibe.social

“A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech”
https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-new-way-to-describe-the-fediverse-and-its-opposition-to-big-tech/
I think I may have finally found a way to explain the Fediverse and make it appealing to people not familiar with it - a very Italian, highly accessible way to frame it, via an analogy that anyone could understand.
#TheFutureIsFederated #tech #Fediverse #activism #BigTech #BigFood #SocialMedia #FOSS #blog #NeilPostman #healthylifestyle
So we got #fediverse TikTok before #GTA6 lol
I just tried out #loops ... And it's working surprisingly well and stable for me.
I thinking about making #gamedev mini vlogs and tutorials for this format. I hope federation starts soon so that the whole #fediverse can access the content there.
What are your thoughts about this?
I found this nice install guide for #snac written by @eltheanine and wanted to share.

This week's news
- With Bluesky the main topic of conversations, people are experimenting with Starter Packs on the fediverse as well

What is Channel.org?
Channel.org is our new membership service designed to help organisations join New Social - open networks of interconnected platforms where orgs can own their space.
We know that this space aligns with many for-good orgs morally, now we need to show them that the people here can support their mission just as well as on any Big Tech platform.
If you want to know more, please check out the website or get in touch!

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.
I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.
So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

for the relative exodus that takes place on the #birdsite, there is little felt influx of new users here on #mastodon. while several unfortunate decisions of #musk triggered true waves within the #fediverse imho none of this is so far the case, while it is the first time as if folks start to use #bluesky indeed.
@mastomememakers
I feel like #Fediverse need some killer app to really kick on. That may be just a slicker, more focused version of #Mastodon. Otherwise all the other small great projects happening here, will over time, add up to make a big community.
rant, Bluesky, Pixelfed [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Let's speedrun the XMPP-alike death of ActivityPub, sure. Let's sacrifice our freedom to corporate overlords all over again, because stuff like that worked out so well in the past. Nothing bad ever happened when projects began using a fundamental technology controlled by a VC-funded, profit-driven company.
In the end only a small userbase will remain vigilant while the majority gets fucked all over again. As always.
I want to scream.

![Re: [pixelfed/pixelfed] Bluesky Support (Issue #5348)
I for one think this would be an excellent idea. Making Pixelfed available for Bluesky users, and for the rest of the fediverse to get a lot more content, would benefit everyone. If done right, it could help introduce the idea that more fediverse projects implement the AT protocol.

I'm reaching out to a few #fediverse projects regarding the ActivityPub Starter Kit service
The goal is to support all fediverse projects, but it will take time to add support for each API structure
Notice how they aren't called Pixelfed Starter Kits?
That's because this is bigger than Pixelfed, and my ego
And while I could have limited this to just Pixelfed, that would go against everything I believe in
I'm building for the future, the federated future
One free from ego driven overlords 🚀
I never considered how people may want to search and explore Starter Kits, so I am working on that now, and hope to collaborate with:
https://communitywiki.org/trunk
https://fedi.directory
https://fediverse.info/explore/people
It would be amazing to have a resource like this to find people with shared interests, across not only existing Starter Kits but also human curated resources like the above!
(I do maintain fediverse.info, so we have 1/3 onboard so far)
In case you forgot, I also happen to run the Fediverse People Directory!
It's over 3 years old now, and I will show it some love with some well deserved updates next month!
Just a reminder: everything you do on social media is public. Even if you delete a post on your instance, it can still exist on other instances, in the cache of search engines or private databases.
I don't want to duplicate efforts with other Starter Pack/Starter Kit projects, so if you are building one for the fediverse, we should chat!
I'd love more help, and plan to release the source code under the established Pixelfed banner!
ActivityPub Starter Kits update:
I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!
ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.

- Open source + self-hostable
- Compatible with several projects, and will accept PRs for other projects
- Is a temporary measure until Starter Kits are implemented in the core of fediverse projects.

@dansup I think people are fed up with all of these other services that are run by a spectrum of bad faith actors, even the ones that seem like good faith actors (but on the down low take VC money from crypto bros). #Fediverse #Pixelfed
Should @pixelfed explore adding native support for Bluesky/AtProto?

I should probably get in touch with the #PeerTube developers
It would be cool to support following PeerTube accounts in Loops and seeing their videos in your Following feed.
I'm really proud of the ecosystem I'm building around @pixelfed
We have some really innovative features that are unique to our platform, and are powered by microservices like:
https://api.fedidb.org
https://beagle.pixelfed.net
https://fdroid.pixelfed.net
https://push.pixelfed.net
https://recovery.pixelfed.org
https://versions.pixelfed.org
With @loops and @supapp on the horizon, you can expect a few more 😎
I really need to blog about this, because I'm having a blast 🚀
Just a little bit frustrating to read people saying "the Fediverse should have starter packs" when I've spent the last four+ years hand-curating recommended accounts to follow on @FediFollows and https://fedi.directory
I'm not the only person doing this kind of initiative, the Trunk directory (https://communitywiki.org/trunk) was the first, and the Fediverse.info directory by @dansup (https://fediverse.info/explore/people) is an automated way for people to add themselves to suggested lists.
We already have these things on the Fedi, people just need to ask around and discover them, and let their friends know about them.

This week's news:

I could make start.fedi.pub a landing page for Starter Kits, allowing users to select the client of their choice, aside from Pixelfed.
Lots of possibilities with Starter Kits, and I look forward to working with other projects to establish a shared spec, aka FEP!
Create a Starter Kit with all your existing friends/fam and share the link or QR code and the invited person will be onboarded and auto follow all accounts in the kit, along with other auto settings.
The best part is Pixelfed Starter Kits are ActivityPub objects, and will be compatible with other software!
I am working on a FEP 🚀
Check out @steve on #SocialHub with a proposal to work on #ActivityPub #C2S, the client-to-server Social API part of the #W3C Recommendation.
The Social API didn't get much uptake on the #Fediverse where generally the #Mastodon API is used (and abused) for client/server communication.
It is not because the Social API isn't good, just that no one ever did the legwork to mature this part of the spec.
Are you interested in C2S and help push the #SocialWeb?

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere
Read at: https://fediversereport.com/a-conceptual-model-of-atproto-and-activitypub/
Alt...
One of the main subjects of discussion recently has been whether Bluesky is decentralised and if it is federated. I think answering these questions requires a clarity on how ATProto differs conceptually from ActivityPub. Decentralisation and federation are valued for how they impact power structures, but there are multiple ways to build other power structures in open social networks.
A bit of the summary at the top, since that might help during reading:
The conceptual model of ActivityPub resembles that of email: independent servers sending messages to each other.
The conceptual model of ATProto resembles that of the web: independent sites publish data, and indexers aggregate this data into different views and apps.
You have to be crazy to put in this much effort as a single fedi developer.
But it's the crazy ones who change things — those who aren't fond of rules or shortcuts, who push forward against all odds.
Call them foolish, but they're the ones who change the world.
@dansup @loops I'm sure TikTok was super basic initially. You definitely have something here with the #Fediverse and we are with you the whole way!
I have a long way to go, but slowly starting my #BotsInSpace migration.

It's been a busy year at Newsmast for The Newsmast Foundation team, but we've done a lot!
We've actually done too much to fit it into one post 👀
So, we broke out the video editing skills... hope you like it!
#Fediverse #Mastodon #SocialWeb #FediDev #SocialMedia #BuildInPublic
I am publishing a small #ActivityPub / #fediverse project: https://fietkau.software/webfinger_canary and @canary 🙂
It is a tiny bot showcasing a split-domain WebFinger setup, where the handle domain is different from the ActivityPub server domain. This is supported by Mastodon and some other ActivityPub implementations, but not all of them.
So this project, aimed at devs and power users, is part test case, part feature recommendation/advocacy. The bot's website at https://correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software/ has all the details.
👋 Hey Fediverse!
We're Pixelfed. We help run key #fediverse sites you probably use, like https://fediDB.org and https://fediverse.info.
We're also launching Loops (https://loops.video), a new platform for short video sharing.
To keep these services running and build a better Fediverse, we need your support!
❤️ Donate today: https://pixelfed.org/support-our-project
Someone joined our Discord to post that @vidzy was a better alternative to Loops.
It's not a competition on the fediverse, because no matter where you are, everyone wins.
I love supporting fellow #fediverse projects, and look forward to working with the Vidzy team on federation and potentially a universal API so clients will be interoperable with both Loops and Vidzy.
You should follow them, they need more visibility ❤️

Online Safety and the “Great Decentralization” – The Perils and Promises of Federated Social Media
By @samlai.bsky.social and @yoyoel
On Bluesky, Lai summarizes their recommendations:
Here’s how we fix it:
(1) Larger platforms can fund tool development efforts and share info on their moderation decisions
(2) A multi stakeholder structured hub curating pooled data to identify threat actors
(3) Tool builders can create platforms for mods to share information with each other

After nearly two years of actively participating in the fediverse, I figured I'd put together my own guide for Mastodon, the platform I'm the most familiar with as a user.
I want to do a massive rummage sale on the fediverse and am thinking about using #Flohmarkt (the #fediverse's answer to ebay), has anyone tried to post A LOT of things there yet?
