Wondering what happened to the Forkiverse server? The hosts describe their decision to shut it down on one of their podcasts.
Short story - it was always a bit of lark, so they did not want to deal with the hassle of containing Russian government bots.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/117469459198393752
Everything this fellow says about the No Kings Instagram account getting pulled offline in the middle of the day Saturday is right. It’s obvious it was Meta putting its finger on the scale of fascism.
But the punchline is at the end when he says “real accountability is coming”.
From what?
the Democrats? hahaha no.
Midterms? hahaha, no.
Continuing to use Instagram to protest— uh… Instagram?
The answer isn’t reform. It’s revolution.

Introducing ActivityPub.Space
The in-person events at FediCon in Vancouver lit a fire in the Canadian ActivityPub community. One of the louder calls were for a place in the fediverse for ActivityPub discussions; a place for groups to form and for long-running discussions to be had. I was more than happy to get involved. I also wanted such a place, and I've discussed it on and off for the past year. [...] [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
The in-person events at FediCon in Vancouver lit a fire in the Canadian ActivityPub community. One of the louder calls were for a place in the fediverse for ActivityPub discussions; a place for groups to form and for long-running discussions to be had.
I was more than happy to get involved. I also wanted such a place, and I've discussed it on and off for the past year. ActivityPub development discussions are fragmented across multiple disconnected channels, and none of them fully capture the entirety (or a majority, or even a sizeable minority) of the AP developer community. ActivityPub.Space is my answer to that call.
One constant about ActivityPub is that all ActivityPub developers are on the fediverse, and so it only makes sense that discussions about AP development should also take place on the fediverse.
At the same time, the "fediverse" isn't one singular entity. @jaz@mastodon.iftas.org famously quipped "There is One Fediverse. There are a Million Fediverses." While I can't make guarantees about this site connecting with a million fediverses, I can say that it does connect with the microblogiverse, the blogiverse (WordPress blogs!), and the Threadiverse (Lemmy/Piefed/MBin/NodeBB/Discourse).
So how does it work?
The site is divided up into several categories:
- General Discussion is for any non-technical discussions about ActivityPub
- Technical Discussion is for technical deep-dives
- Meta contains discussions about this site itself
- Random is for everything else (there's always a "Random" category on a forum, isn't there...?)
We also pull in content direct from Fediverse news outlets such as "Week in Fediverse", "Connected Places", and "Relay, by We Distribute".
On the threadiverse side, we directly link to several other fediverse-focused communities on Lemmy and Piefed.
We utilise a number of relays to both distribute local content out and receive content from the wider microblogiverse. When content comes in via microblogs, they're not usually categorized, so we check for relevant hashtags and automatically categorize them into one of the local categories.
The wonderful thing about this site is that it fully federates, which means you can follow all of these categories from your app of choice. You don't even have to register a local account if you don't want to, but you definitely can (and should!) if you want the best experience browsing the categorized topics.
The categories today are rather broad, but over time I hope to split them up into smaller topics based on user demand. Give the site a try today!

Somehow, over on the lemmyverse / piefed.social, it's only page after page of posts from my accounts on c/Microblogs! WTF? I'm going to make them private till they stop whatever is wrong there. https://piefed.social/c/microblogs?page=2&sort=new&layout=list&content_type=posts
I only found out because they banned me on this infosec.social account from crossposting to my own communities there for playing #HashTagGames. This is very bizarre. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_help@piefed.social/p/2502740/banned-from-crossposting-to-my-community-from-fediverse-without-notification
I don't know how many more of you out there are getting banned from a place you didn't give permission to follow you in the first place, let alone repost you without your knowledge. But I did see some familiar faces there, on the first page. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_help@piefed.social/p/2502740/banned-from-crossposting-to-my-community-from-fediverse-without-notification

Seriously, this ia a great time to talk to any #NoKings protesters you know, tell them about the #Instagram censorship/blockout, and suggest that the #Fediverse might be a better alternative for organizing such protests.
Many of you have left #Facebook for very good reasons.
But for those who still have a presence there, could you _please_ tell the followers of #BernieSanders about the #Fediverse ?
The number of people there who think that founding "new platforms" or have similar takes in the wake of the #censorship of the #NoKings protests on #Instagram is... exhausting. 🤦♂️

Many of you have left #Facebook for very good reasons.
But for those who still have a presence there, could you _please_ tell the followers of #BernieSanders about the #Fediverse ?
The number of people there who think that founding "new platforms" or have similar takes in the wake of the #censorship of the #NoKings protests on #Instagram is... exhausting. 🤦♂️

2027. Tobias betreibt seit sechs Jahren eine kleine Mastodon-Instanz auf einem Raspberry Pi im Flur. 300 Leute aus dem Dorf tauschen dort Kochrezepte und Gemeinderatsklatsch. Dann kommt ein Brief: Seine Instanz falle unter den KidsAct. Er müsse wirksame Alterskontrollen einbauen, sonst drohe ein Bußgeld. Tobias liest die Anforderungen dreimal, dann zieht er den Stecker. Am nächsten Morgen sind 300 Menschen bei den großen Plattformen, die sich die Kontrollen leisten können.

Обновление платформы в ближайшие дни 🔧
Недавно у нас возник спор с Apple по части функционала в приложении. Кроме того, мы получили предупреждение по разделу финансовых инструментов. Чтобы не сталкиваться с подобным в будущем, мы решили действовать системно.
Что мы делаем:
Открываем для проверки все экраны приложения, независимо от их статуса.
Показываем Google и Apple финансовую модель приложения.
Готовим полностью новую концепцию экономики платформы.
Для пользователей это не изменит привычный опыт работы с платформой, а в некоторых местах даже упростит его.
Правила магазинов приложений нужно соблюдать, и мы подстраиваемся под них. Процессы согласования порой занимают много времени, но это часть работы над продуктом, который доступен миллионам людей в разных странах.
Мы работаем каждый день без выходных, чтобы выпустить обновление как можно быстрее. Следите за новостями, всё самое важное будем публиковать здесь.
Спасибо пользователям за понимание 🙏

I just want to pause for a moment to appreciate the fact that we have this distributed #socialnetwork and don’t need to fear it being taken away or monopolized. I think that is the best outcome out of the last several years. I am excited by the potential of the #fediverse to help communities weave together patchworks of resistance and subversive thinking, and eventually swarm together to foment societal transformation. We have barely scratched the surface of this capacity.

The rule against “positive talk” about J.K. Rowling—including fanfiction—is internally consistent with Wafrn’s founding ethos, but its sweeping interpretation risks undermining the very kind of community Wafrn was built to be.
Wafrn’s original goals: a safer, Tumblr-shaped home
Wafrn did not set out to be a neutral or “anything goes” platform. Its founding identity is explicit and political:
- “No alt-right, no nazis, no terfs.” This is stated directly in the project’s own description.
- The developer’s own three rules are equally blunt: “1st no nazi shit 2nd no terf shit”.
- The name itself is a joke with a point. “Wafrn” stands for “We Allow Female Representing Nipples,” a direct reference to Tumblr’s 2018 porn ban.
So the goal was never to recreate Tumblr as it is, but to build a Tumblr-like space that is actively hostile to the ideologies that make Tumblr unsafe for trans people. The admin’s warning about JKR is not a sudden departure from that mission; it is a direct enforcement of the “no terf shit” principle. The admin even framed the ban in existential terms: “you are financially helping with the fucking trans genocide”.
Why build Wafrn when Tumblr exists?
The short answer: because Tumblr, from Wafrn’s perspective, is part of the problem.
- Tumblr is a corporation that banned adult content and, in Wafrn’s view, tolerates or platformed TERF ideology. Wafrn’s name is a protest against that moderation choice.
- Tumblr is not federated. Wafrn’s core technical selling point is that it connects natively to both the Fediverse (Mastodon, etc.) and Bluesky, letting users curate a cross-platform social graph without being trapped in one corporate silo.
- Wafrn promises a “caring and inviting place” with manual, volunteer moderation, not algorithmic or corporate enforcement.
The founding bet was that people who miss Tumblr’s energy also want a space where the baseline social contract is “trans people are not up for debate.” The JKR rule is the logical enforcement of that contract.
Does the action get them closer to the goal—or further away?
This is where it gets messy.
On one hand, it is aligned: If the stated goal is a space where TERF ideology and its most famous standard-bearer are not treated as normal or positive, then allowing enthusiastic posts about her work—even fanfiction—does send a mixed signal. The admin’s logic is that “positive light on her creations” is functionally positive light on her, and therefore violates the community’s foundational boundary.
On the other hand, the action risks betraying the goal in two ways:
It collapses “harm” into “association.” The rule does not target harassment of trans users or promotion of JKR’s politics; it targets enjoyment of a text. That is a much broader net than “no terf shit,” and it can feel like thought-policing rather than harm reduction. The admin’s own community has already been criticized as “an echo chamber” precisely because of this ban. An echo chamber is not a “caring and inviting place” for everyone; it is a place where the price of admission is agreeing with the moderation’s cultural tastes.
It contradicts the “chaotic Tumblr energy” pitch. Wafrn is marketed to people who miss Tumblr’s messy, self-curated, non-corporate weirdness. But the JKR rule replaces Tumblr’s corporate ban with a communal ban that is just as absolute, just as unwilling to discuss, and arguably more personal. The admin’s tone—“Go fuck yourselves” toward critics—is not the tone of a platform trying to build a big tent; it is the tone of a platform that has decided the tent is smaller and purer.
The verdict: The rule makes sense if you accept that Wafrn’s core product is not “Tumblr but federated” but “a federated space with a hard anti-TERF boundary.” Under that definition, the JKR ban is a consistent, if blunt, enforcement. But the way it is enforced—sweeping fanfiction into the ban and refusing discussion—moves Wafrn away from the “fun, chaotic, caring” community it advertises and toward a smaller, ideologically policed enclave. That may be what the admin wants. It is just not the same thing as the Tumblr-shaped haven the project’s own branding promises.

Let's say you are a video content creator on YouTube. How hard is it currently to publish to Peertube additionally? Like is there a tool to push a single button? Or is it more like twice the work?

URGENT. PLEASE BOOST FAR AND WIDE, FEDIVERSE!
A new week is coming, and though I'm trying my best, I'm still struggling. As a disabled, chronically ill girl under the poverty line, bills, meds and basic groceries I need to be able to cover this week come to $152.44. I'm still dealing with medical tests, and all this on top adds to my stress. If you could help me meet my goal, it would be very much appreciated. Boosts help too of course! Thank you so much💖

How best to follow the US midterm elections on fedi? [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
There's going to be a lot happening over the next few months: voter suppression and disinformation in the push towards Election Day, challenges to election results, potentially mass mobilization if red lines are crossed. Mark F--ing Zuckerberg and Apartheid Clyde are going to promote disinformation and hate (because it makes them a lot of money, and because it helps the fascists) and reduce visibility of any information that challenges the regime. It's a mistake to rely on them for news in a time like this, and let's hope that more and more people realize that and decide to do something about it.
Suppose people show up in fedi looking for an alternative for an alternative to Meta and other centralized social networks for following the news about the 2026 US midterms. What advice to give them -- hashtags, Lemmy and Piefed communities, accounts to follow, and so on?
How to keep discussions of the US midterms from drowning out other topics on fedi? [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Then again, a lot of people don't want to hear discussions of the US midterms, or maybe don't mind a few posts but don't want it to take over their feeds. So if a lot of people suddenly show up because they can't talk about the midterms on Meta and want to talk about it here ... it's easy to imagine this leading to all kinds of culture clashes.
One way to minimize the tensions is to make sure that newcomers hear that it's generally appreciated if they mark US political posts with the #uspol hashtag (to make it easy for people who don't want to see any of this to filter it out) and include a content warning so that the contents aren't in people's faces.
What else can be done to make life easier for people who want to avoid, or at least limit their exposure to these discussions?

Good morning, #Fediverse
It's a warm Sunday morning, I'm supposed to be doing something more urgent but I'm totally stuck in a dilemma:
FreeBSD or SmartOS for that new setup?
Life can be hard.

WOW! on the day i crashed and burned into a 3 hour nap all the ish just happens… should i take more naps?
the only thing i’ll say to #NoKings: abandon #Facebook #X #Bluesky #Instagram #LinkedIn
now is the time for #Indivisible to join the #fediverse with tech for and by The People.
stop being at the mercy of #techbros & sundry #fascists who control the network effect. YOU ALREADY ARE A NETWORK.
reject reactionary politics and reformist praxis. embrace the power of your own network & grow it.
Did we just have our first Mastodon-First Mayor elected in Canada! ZEB ZING - Central Saanich! @ZebKing
Congratulations!

Just GTFO of every douchebag techbro billionaire owned social media.
Now.
Yes, #bluesky and #threads. #xitter #facebook, #instagram #linkedin ALL of them.
No, threads and bluesky are NOT the #Fediverse , they are #DTBO #SocialMedia , owned by techbro billionaires who are using the wealth they get from YOU being there to destroy democracy.
Just leave.
We did.

⚠️ Protect your account.
1) You do not need an app to use Misskey or Mastodon. Your mobile browser works just fine.
2) You should not use your Fedi account to sign into another app or service.
3) You do not need to verify your Fedi account, and no one will ask you to do so. Any link claiming you need to verify yourself is a scam, and you should not click on it.
4) Your password should be unique. That means do not use the same password elsewhere.
5) Use a password manager and make your password long and complex. You will not need to remember your password if you use a password manager.
6) Enable 2-step verification to help secure your Fedi account.
7) Be mindful (careful) when clicking on any URL shared on the Fedi.
8) Apply this same logic to the e-mail address associated with your Fedi Account.
