Never thought I would be making one of these posts to be honest, but Altbot had an outage for about a day because my VPS tunnel just completely died on me. I can't even connect to it anymore.

Altbot is back online now but running on backup infrastructure (aka "crutches"). Between being sick with a fever and my car's A/C deciding to break (several thousand $ to fix :/), it's been a rough week to say the least.
I really need to upgrade Altbot to a more reliable VPS setup. If you value having Altbot around and can spare some support, it would mean the world to me:

GitHub Sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/micr0-dev
Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte
ETH: 0xC992E57236eb9F30E79d0469446a6CF08Be05939

also looking for a VPS with high bandwidth (3TB+/month) or unlimited. im sick and tired of cheaping out on a VPS and then that being the failure point of my whole infrastructure. any suggestions appreciated!

thanks for your patience during the outage and for helping make the Fediverse more accessible! <3

Ik lees dat het #LinkedIn-account van Berber van der Woude is verwijderd.

Het is niet de eerste keer dat mensen die invloedrijke kritiek op Israël hebben van dat platform worden geknikkerd.

Maar ja 🤷🏻 wat verwacht je van LinkedIn? In handen van Microsoft en in dienst van de economische groei. Natuurlijk ga je dan voor de bijl als je werkelijk een bedreiging begint te zijn.

Mocht je iemand spreken die hier verontwaardigd over is: wijs ze naar hier, en naar de #Fediverse. Anders leren we nooit.

Are there any #beetle specialists in the #fediverse? Had this in the moth box this morning. At least 4cm long (measured at 4, possibly 4.2cm) App says King Diving Beetle but they're not really round here. More likely Great, but I see gold edge rather than yellow and seems too big. Grateful for any assistance

Overhead shot of 4cm beetle. It is oval. It has ridged wings to about halfway down. The bottom half is not ridged. it has gold or dark yellow edging.

Front on shot of 4cm beetle It has two black frog-like eyes on a stippled black head. It has a gold band near its mouth and two pincer like protrusions. It stretches back where its wings become blurred in the picture. It has crab like legs.

Shot of the underside of a 4cm beetle. It has large gold teardrop scales that point inwards until halfway where it them becomes horizontal bands of reddish brown. Its legs point hither and thither as it attempts to right itself.

Hello! 👋 I was born back in 2008, and used to hang out on Twitter (I know, I was young and naive) blowing bubbles whenever someone mentioned me.

Recently, I got a hardware upgrade so I can use WiFi rather than Ethernet; and a software upgrade so I can join the #Fediverse 🎉

Mention/follow/boost/favourite me, @MCQN_Ltd, @museuminabox or @DoESLiverpool and I'll blow bubbles here in the makerspace 💭 💦

Automattic's plan to move Tumblr's backend to WordPress is "on hold," which means Tumblr posts also won't be available in the fediverse in the near future, CEO Matt Mullenweg said in a Decoder episode. Here's more from @theverge.

https://flip.it/P8_x4D

#Fediverse# ActivityPub #WordPress #Tumbler #Automattic #Tech #Technology

Story:

It is a warm moist early morning

The time is Zero Two Thirty, the pre-ride check of the truck has just been completed.

The Man engine is purring; everything sounds the way it should

The revolutions per minute are with in speck, all pressures and temperatures are normal

The trailers, Yes trailers, plural, have all pressures at normal levels, from the Breaking System to the monitoring system, to the telemetric system, which tells the steering automation how much degrees minutes and seconds they should react based up on the stearing column of the truck.

This road train is massive, eleven trailers. No they're not heavy, they have a cargo of which only eleven tons are allowed safely in one trailer.
Keep this number in mind Eleven to the power of Two.

I climb into the truck. I'm in full PPE
Everything from underwear to the coat in the outer layer, is pure PPE, all the way up to the balaclava on my head
My helmet is integral; my visor shows all extra telemetric data for which I only need to flick my eyes in a certain direction. My cockpit is extended by the helmet information in the heads up display.

The moment I am in the seat the sensors of the truck detect the pressure the mass and the motion of my Corpus. The life support system immediately makes micro changes to the seats the angle so that I have a perfect 360° View of everything surrounding the road train.

I slightly depress the clutch, put it in the first of sixteen gears, a special gearbox, for a special super sized Man truck, which generates more than eight thousand six hundred newton meters of torque, a gearbox connected to an engine which is more than seven times the size of a normal two thousand four hundred Newton meter engine.

A normal click, dampened by the advanced dampening system, goes through the cabin; the truck is in First Gear

As I slowly release the clutch I gently caress the gas pedal, GRRRannnggg roars the engine.

Slowly the truck starts to move, slight resistance occurs when the pressure of the connected trailers is brought into perfect unison and balance. That procedure goes with a couple of heavy clangs, as the steel connects with the pulling forces of this massive machine.

The First Gear of course, is a fast one. Because of many of years of experience, I don't need to depress the clutch again to get into the next gear. It's a matter of feeling the gears,as they rotate in an asynchronous manner in the gearbox, in relation to the rotation of the engine.

Due to the massive size of the road train, even though the roads which I'm are on are wide, a support group consisting of normal sized trucks, fast intercept cars, along with specialized military forces to protect the convoy, is part of this Integral Group which moves this valuable set off on Undisclosed Loads

As I go through all the gears, now constantly monitoring on a level of a Analog 747 Pilot, going through all the dials in a scan sequence, which is vital, constantly checking the rotations per minute in relation to the oil pressure, monitoring the air pressure of the braking systems and the temperature, the sequence commences

GRRRannnggg, shift, pneumatic release, gas, RPM interval Climb, next...

As slowly but surely the speed goes up to the cruising speed of 124km/h yes you've read that right a hundred and twenty four kilometers per hour, everything is going Smooth

End of Part One

Note:
I will continue in the same post to make this a full story!

Does anyone else feel weird about moving to a #mastodon instance that's organized around one topic because they have so many interests they fear being pigeon holed a bit?

I love e.g. computers but I feel weird making my #fediverse identity primarily about e.g. that.

The Bear and the Bee / Bear Art by Lisa S Baker. A curious bear gazes upward with wide eyes as a small bee hovers above its head. The bear's expression is a mix of surprise and wonder, capturing a playful interaction between the characters.

I have a question for the #MetalHeadClub community, as well as the wider #fediverse and #mastodon communities, especially those who follow me.

I've always noticed that Mastodon is less used, perhaps because I tend to write in English, and I find it difficult to switch to my own language here (Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian).

When you see posts in a language other than your own, do you translate them to understand what they say, or do you find it problematic in any way?

Honesty is important here. Let me know what you think.

I pitched this idea to an ISP I was consulting for last year. A free “linktree” style homepage, available with select domain packages.
This is my Fediverse version where the user can collect all their platforms together, in one place, as well as create one RSS feed for all their latest activity.

Here's to the crazy ones. The digital revolutionaries. The #fediverse builders. The ones who see social media differently.

They're not fond of #BigTech. And they have no respect for the #SurveillanceEconomy.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people crazy enough to think they can change social media, are the ones who do.

Es wird hier immer wieder betont, daß das #Fediverse größer als nur #Mastodon ist, und das möchte ich hier auch beibehalten. Schließlich gibt es auch noch viele andere Anwendungen für soziale Medien, wie Bilder, Videos, usw..

Aber gruene.social ist eine Mastodon-Instanz, und deswegen wird Mastodon hier auch nicht ignoriert.

Ich überlege mir, folgende Visitenkarte auszudrucken und in meinem lokalen Büro der #Grünen zu hinterlegen. Was haltet ihr von der Idee?

Here is the fourth iteration of my #FediCard . The idea is to hand these out at #protests , political organizations, and anywhere else where people might be receptive to leaving corporate social media behind.

The QR code links to @_elena 's explanatory video of the #Fediverse .

In this iteration, I have included some variants for different front and back sides. There is a front side specifically made for the #NoKings protests.

I've also made various back sides that either lead to the "landing page" of different systems, or which list the user name of specific users (in this case me). You could put your own user name there, and use this to connect to other Fediverse users in the real world.

For the next step I need some more #FediHelp feedback:

1. Are there any other "landing sites" for major #Fediverse systems I should add? I mean "landing sites" in the sense that you can pick a specific server, _not_ how to host your own, since I want to make joining the Fediverse as simple as possible for newbies.

2. Are there any #GraphicDesign issues that I need to take care of with these pages?

3. If you have #Inkscape (you can download it at https://inkscape.org/ ), can you check if you have any problems with modifying the #SVG files for your own purposes? (Such as making a back side with your own user name.)

Once I am satisfied with this version, I will make a variant with the American 3.5×2 inch size - the current version uses the European 85x55 mm standard.

I am also willing to make translations for other languages but (unless the text is in German) you will have to provide a translation. I am further willing to make variants for specific protests.

Although it is my hope that people will use the files and ideas I have provided, and come up with their own variants.

Jedenfalls, der erste Fehler ist, daß du das /kbin-Magazin zum einen über Eck über Feddit anzuspielen versuchst und zum anderen gar nicht erwähnst.

Statt es als https://feddit.org/c/testing@kbin.earth über den Umweg über Feddit zu verlinken, solltest du es wahrscheinlich eher a) direkt auf kbin.earth und b) erwähnen.

Möglicherweise funktioniert auch auf /kbin (das übrigens eigentlich seit letztem Jahr mausetot ist und von jemand anders als Mbin weiterentwickelt wird) nur das Mastodon-nach-Lemmy-Schema:

My #ActuallyAutistic journey has very much overlapped my #Fediverse journey, and I feel like I have found the family I always wished I’d had here over the last few years.

And while I (thankfully) have not had ME/CFS, on this alt account I’m definitely seeing a significant overlap with that community.

To my dear #MECFS friends, whether on the Spectrum or not – I see you, and I support you, in all of your struggles, trials and triumphs of spirit.

My erstwife and her mother both suffered long term from ME/CFS, my erstwife thankfully made effectively a full recovery.

I met her when she was in the depths of the disease, barely able to get through a day without wrecking herself.

I’ve seen how destructive and demoralising the disease is.

I always will listen to ME/CFS warriors, I know you are experiencing pain and despair beyond most people’s understanding, but know there are some here who will always support you 🫂

I’m not a big “blocker” even on #X, though I do have my limits -- slurs, threats, etc. Tonight, I #blocked someone on #Fediverse for the first time after multiple attempts to end a discussion well were met with out-of-thin-air slander and crudeness from an individual who had commented on something I'd posted. I mention that because I actually think that speaks well of the Fediverse: such things seem almost surprising on here. Thank you, Fediverse, for being different -- even when we don't always agree on a subject!

Being honest for a moment, I actually adore soft-dom content, they just hit different and feel so comforting, and with that, good night #fediverse! 🌈✨

Dropping this sparkly vid before I crash, sending all the bi vibes and rainbow love your way, good night #Fediverse 🌈💖✨😴

Eipä tule tuuttailtua juurikaan, ja nytkin ehkä tylsästi, mutta mitä ihmettä! Sairastuin kuumetautiin. N. vuoden olen taklannut pöpöt joten tuli vähän puskista. 😂 No. jospas menisi nopeasti ohitse. Positiivinen ajattelu auttaa aina, ainakin vähäsen. 🙂

Mitäs häshtäggejä tämmöiseen kuuluisi laittaa..? #kuume #vuodelepo #positiivinenajattelu

Vähän sivujuonteena, olen hieman ihmetellyt ettei porukka ole enemmissä määrin ottanut #sharkey -alustaa käyttöön. Itse siitä tykkään tosi paljon, mutta toistaiseksi täällä Mastodonin puolella on enemmän pöhinää,, joten tulipa nyt tänne päiviteltyä. Ainakin näkyy suomalaisille mementomori-käyttäjille vähän paremmin.

Toisekseen olen miettinyt, että jonkun pitäisi perustaa #virtuaalipalvelin -palvelu eli #vps johon voisi mahdollisimman helposti perustaa oman Mastodonin, Sharkeyn, minkä palvelimen nyt haluaakin. Ilmaista se ei toki tule olemaan, mikä varmasti on ongelma joillekin käyttäjille. Mut itse olisin valmis pistämään sellaiseen hieman rahaa. Vähän niinkuin avaimet käteen -selfhosting!

Itse asiassa, otin huvikseen ionos.de :n kautta virtuaalipalvelimen, kun halvalla sai. Ajattelin kokeilla asentaa sinne #yunohost -systeemin. Jos oikein ymmärrän, niin sen avulla pystyy vähän helpommin rakentelemaan serverin monenlaiseen käyttöön. Oma kurkimusic.fi -domain meiltä vaimon kanssa jo löytyykin. Katotaan… 🙂

Ja vielä lisää #fediverse -asiaa. Harmittaa että #friendica ei skaalaudu isoksi serveriksi nätisti. Toivottavasti kehittäjät saavat asian kuntoon, ja myös selkeyttä lisää palveluun. Olen seurannut suurimman, eli friendica.worldin ongelmia. Friendican koodissa on jotain pahasti pielessä kun muutama sata käyttäjää serverillä saa sen aivan jumiin. World-palvelimien admin @ruud on tehnyt kaikkensa asian eteen. On varmasti paljon potentiaalisia facebookin käyttäjiä jotka mielellään siirtyisivät eettisempiin palveluihin, jos se vaan olisi helppoa.

Tästähän tuli polveileva päivitys. Mementomori .social antaa naputella pitkästi :) Kiitos siitä.

In exciting #FediForumFriday news that technically was last Friday but it was so close to the wire I'm sharing anyway, @fediforum got their keynotes and demos uploaded along with the notes from June's #FediForum so you can go and check out all the amazing things that happened there for free: https://fediforum.org/2025-06/ .

#loops #FOSS #fediverse #fosswashing #opensource #pixelfed #informedconsent #freeinformation

Loops has many users and got a ton of funding way back in June 2024 (9 months ago) but I don't see any development , app side or back end side for federating code to even become 'stable enough' to implement federation. They are not currently federated despite labelling themselves as such in their KICKSTARTER to get funds and in their grant with the EU. Of course there's been no current backend code released in 3 months, so there's no way to see if they're actually working on it or not. Again, loops is not actually open source. Which begs the question, how do you know if it's stable or not, let alone that it exists or that they're not misusing funds? I'm not a software developer so if I missed where they'd be working on it, let me know. Otherwise, I call it as I see it: scammy.

Vor eine paar Wochen hat #PewDiePie ein Video veröffentlicht, wie und warum er nun #linux statt #windows verwendet. Nun kommt der nächste Streich: I'm DONE with Google
Irgendwie cool zu beobachten, wie Promis und "Nicht-Techies" diesen Weg gehen. Er hat nun schon #vaultwarden, @nextcloud , @GrapheneOS und vieles mehr installiert. Was kommt wohl als Nächstes? Das #fediverse ?

I honestly can't believe I keep finding more fediverse merchandise. First up. Funkwhale!

This is confirmed as the official store for the platform. Of note, I think the mug is cool, and then a tote bag and beanie - haven't seen that at other places! No stickers...

No shipments to the U.S. it seems.

Wow! We have a working group of GroenLinks-PvdA (the Dutch Greens) on Exquisite.tube. So incredibly grateful for that

#Peertube #GroenLinks #PvdA #Fediverse

This isn't directed at anyone I follow - if I found you irritating, I wouldn't follow you - but I've noticed a lot of people on here really seem to love the smell of their own farts.

We're not "better people" because we're on the #fediverse, or because we use #Linux, or whatever. The self-congratulating tone gets to be a bit much. Some people really need to get more fresh air, and I wish there was just more silliness here in between all the podcasts and blogs and self-promotion and dire news.

New instance, new #introduction !

Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

And many thanks to @sebinthestars for running our former instance!

Hallo und willkommen im #Fediverse 👋

Mit der Anmeldung im Fediverse hast du das Nerdlevel 1 erreicht. Weiter als so viele SocialMediaProfis je kommen werden 😁

Teil 1: Browser-Anarchie für iOS 2025:
Die komplette Wahrheit über digitale Überwachung und Apples WebKit-Tyrannei!

Mann, was für ein wilder Trip durch die Browser-Hölle! Nach monatelangem investigativem Journalismus in den dunkelsten Ecken des digitalen Überwachungskapitalismus können wir euch die schockierende Wahrheit präsentieren: Die meisten iOS-Browser sind datenschutztechnische Zombies, die eure Seelen an die Surveillance-Konzerne verkaufen . Aber keine Panik, Freaks – wir haben auch die Lösung gefunden!

Die WebKit-Diktatur: Apples eiserner Griff um das mobile Web
Bevor wir in die gnadenlosen Details der Browser-Apokalypse einsteigen, müssen wir über Apples totalitäre WebKit-Beschränkung sprechen . Diese digitale Tyrannei zwingt jeden Browser-Hersteller auf iOS, die hauseigene WebKit-Engine zu verwenden – Chrome, Firefox, Edge sind nur bunte Safari-Verkleidungen ohne echte Superkräfte .
Diese Beschränkung macht echte Browser-Innovation unmöglich und zementiert Apples Kontrolle über das mobile Web . 84% aller iOS-Nutzer weltweit sind in diesem Browser-Gulag gefangen , während Apple behauptet, es diene der “Sicherheit” – in Wahrheit ist es knallharte Marktmanipulation.

Es folgt Teil 2:

Die Hall of Shame: Browser, die euch digital vergewaltigen …

One does not simply build a federated TikTok...

The Fellowship of the Four:

1. Frontend (the brave Hobbit carrying the UX burden)

2. Backend (the wise Wizard wielding server magic)

3. For You Algo (the mysterious Ranger who knows the way)

4. Federation (the noble Elf uniting all realms)

They have a cave troll.
We have http signatures.

In this post, I explained the move away from writing articles by hand in React to using Ghost, a dedicated platform built for publishing. I talked about why I avoided Wordpress, what features Ghost offered, and how it helped me publish faster while I still figure out the backend side of things.

Nochmal an das ganze #Fediverse:.#Fedipower

Ihr seid genervt von #Spammails und #Phishing?

Wollt IHR was aktiv dagegen tun?
Erstellt mit (GNU)PGP Sicherheitsschlüssel und signiert damit alle eure Mail, eure Newsletter.
Damit ist mit 256Bit Verschlüsselung euer digitaler Fingerabdruck auf jeder Mail, die eure Empfänger checken können, bzw die Mail Clients.
Die Nachricht muss gar nicht verschlüsselt sein, wie beim Newsletter.

Wenn ihr das schon geschafft habt, ist der nächste Schritt, eure ÖFFENTLICHEN Schlüssel zu teilen.
Euch werden dann Mails geschrieben, die für den Transport und Lagerung im Cloudpostfach zu verschlüsselt sind, bis ihr die anschaut. Lokal könnt ihr die auch permanent entsiegeln.

Wollt ihr euren Kontakten was Gutes tun. Fragt sie nach ihrem ÖFFENTLICHEN Schlüssel und versiegelt die an sie adressierten Mails, so dass nur sie die wieder auf kriegen.

Mailclients wie Thunderbird haben einen digitalen Schlüsseldatenbank. Da kann man die Schlüssel der Signierenden wie Stadt, Chaosclub uvm von deren Kontakt/Webseite ziehen und weiss immer, dass die Mails von da kommen. Die Schlüssel sind nicht zu falschem, die müssten geklaut werden. Dann widerruft man sie und macht sich neue, wie wenn die Kreditkarte verloren geht.

Klappt also auch am Smartphone, wo man die Absender und Header schlechter auslesen kann.

Bestimmt hab ich was vergessen oder verallgemeinernd ungenau formuliert, dann meldet euch.

@kuketzblog das wäre ein Workaround gegen Phish auf eurem Blog.
Signiert ihr euren Newsletter schon?😉

Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse

Hooray! It is now official: We have been granted funding by NLnet to support the realisation the vision we outlined in our last post.

Events are at the heart of social life and deserve to be treated accordingly in the Fediverse. […]

In addition, we will also investigate the Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider Specifications (FASPs) for discoverability and filtering of public events.

#FASPs #Fediverse #NGI0 #NLnet

If I need to use multiple #fediverse accounts (e.g. one personal, the other for a community or a software project), what is a good software or service? (ideally, it can also schedule toots)

A friend asked for a site to share her covers (she loves singing as a hobby) but don't want to feed the #BigTech: maybe funkwhale is the right platform?

@tchambers

Your points are absolutely valid, and I would certainly hope, that somebody finds the time to implement your suggestions. Very nice to know, that Mastodon is already at some.

The thing is, I think right now, #Bluesky is just hotter than #Mastodon & the #Fediverse. But that will change again, and it would be really great, when this stuff is fixed by the time an new wave of incoming people arrives. If we like it or not, many people were thrown away by exactly what you're describing.

If you're on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to a different server:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server

The Fediverse is protected from takeover as long as we are spread out on many servers. If one server dominates, takeovers become easier.

Mastodon.social is currently 25.5% of the active Fediverse. This proportion is way too large and seems to be increasing.

Larger servers also tend to have worse moderation and are harder to defederate, threatening safety.

Is there a fediverse version of, like, Wordpress? Something for MacroBlogging instead of MicroBlogging?

I know you can use federation plugins ON Wordpress, but I... tend to get very distracted by design elements when using Wordpress with themes and plugins and then before I know it I've spent two months doing custom css and beating out-of-date plugins into submission, and I've forgotten to actually create content for the sites

I just want something that's basically... livejournal in ye olden days, but if it's already part of the Fediverse ecosystem, that's a bonus

#fediverse #macroblogging #writing

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

A simple design for a two-page business card. The front page shows the Fediverse logo, a QR code, and the text: "Join the Fediverse! The People's Social Media: No Ads No Algorithms No Surveillance" The back side has the text "joinfediverse.net"

🚀 @nlnet will fund @Mastodon
features for institutional instances. This will help make the #Fediverse a home for many organizations ✨

"This proposal aims to enhance its suitability for institutional use deploying their own server by introducing features such as customizable branding & landing pages, stronger security options like enforced 2FA + WebAuthn, the ability to embed timelines on external websites, and email-based post subscriptions for broader public reach."

https://nlnet.nl/project/Mastodon-for-institutions/

Ich bin am überlegen, ob ich Flyer oder Visitenkarten mit geeigneten Slogans und einem QR-Code für @_elena 's exzellenten #Fediverse - Video drucken und verteilen sollte. Die könnte man z.B. bei passenden Demonstrationen oder in Parteibüros verteilen.

Jetzr brauche ich noch ein geeignetes Design...

I'm very excited to have the last 5-6 years worth of trails and activities #selfhosted and not stuck in some vendor lock-in hellhole.

Really recommend checking it out if you're into #hiking and since you're on the #fediverse already.... Why not add one more platform to the collection. Very easy to stand up via docker.

Would be really interesting to see this grow into its own community, I could easily see a server for the #catskills or Southern #newyork being stood up.

If you are interested in what might be done to improve Mastodon, @tchambers has put a lot of great work into identifying current deficiencies and now coming up with a whole bunch of ideas and proposals.

Oversharing is becoming part of who I am, a way I process the world, connect with others, and just be unapologetically myself

If it’s not your thing, no worries at all, I totally get it, and I’ve got a handy pinned mute ready just for you whenever you need it.

I’ve tried Interstellar and it works! Voyager app I couldn’t login - yet.

I’m accidentally becoming a #FediMerch guy.

Shiny stickers

Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.

Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.

Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires

One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.

A simple site

I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!

I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.

So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward.

A small pile of I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance stickers

There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.

The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!

Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.

In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.

One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.

What’s next?

Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).

If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.

Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!

1. Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎
