Tao is m

Thirty spokes meet in the hub.
Where the wheel isn’t
is where it’s useful.

Hollowed out,
clay makes a pot.
Where the pot’s not,
is where it’s useful.

Cut doors and windows
to make a room.
Where the room isn’t,
there’s room for you.

So the profit in what is
is in the use of what isn’t.

@minad coming to the #Fediverse apparently to share the amazing stuff he's doing with @tusharhero and @divyaranjan has made my day. Exciting stuff happening fast.

But I am delighted to see @minad appear here just so I can publicly thank him for all the other great stuff he's provided to the #Emacs community over the years!

@dansup Short-form video platforms like TikTok tend to collapse into engagement traps. Is there a design decision in Loops explicitly meant to prevent that? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Over engineering the web frontend and admin dashboard, with dark mode support, internationalization and a complex snap scroll pagination feed with for you support.

Same with the 3rd generation Loops mobile app, it’s much more stable, faster/responsive and feature packed.

@dansup What did you overcorrect for with Loops? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Not writing enough tests to ensure new code was working as expected.

We now use phpstan (level 5) in Loops development, without having to write any tests!

https://phpstan.org/

#Fediverse

@dansup That IS very cool. I followed Awet.

This is repurposed content, but I got a kick out of this Loop:

https://loops.video/v/dEa779xfhe

What mistake did Pixelfed make early on that directly shaped how you're designing Loops? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Oh, its the variety of content for me. Rusty has experimented with trying to find the best presets for optimal resolution as we've continually improved the quality of the video, and its really cool to see.

Awet is the first politician on Loops, which is very exciting.

#Fediverse

@dansup @privacyguides @Awet @Rusty__Shackleford @ieeespectrum What so you enjoy about what they post to Loops? #fediverse

Mastodon is only a decent community because we actively maintain it. If you see harassment, especially men targeting women, don't just scroll past. Call it out and report it. Let's keep the space clean. Take out the trash.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #FediTips #CommunityStandards #Safety #StopHarassment #WomenInTech #HumanRights

@dansup sorry, typo. I meant, what DO you enjoy about what they post? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Yes, I really do!

#Fediverse

@Doomscroll Yes, these accounts are a few of my favourites: @privacyguides, @Awet, @Rusty__Shackleford, @ieeespectrum

#Fediverse

That’s interesting, @dansup. I hadn't considered the resentment factor, but that makes sense.

I have more questions about the development, logistics, and philosophies of these apps and their place in the Fediverse, but first, who are a couple of users on Loops you currently enjoy and think people should follow? #fediverse

@Doomscroll I'd say both.

Pixelfed does definitely boost reputation and credibility of Loops, but that comes at a cost.

Some Pixelfed users are resentful of Loops and how much time I've spent on it.

#Fediverse

@dansup Does Pixelfed’s reputation boost Loops, or does Loops endanger Pixelfed? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Loops, it's much newer of a project and the ecosystem is evolving fast (federation, then mobile apps, then project website, then beacon.joinloops.org and now the push.loopsplatform.com service).

The moderation on Loops is also a bit different compared to Pixelfed, we see more reports for AI content than on Pixelfed and due to the way the FYP works, there is more urgency with reacting to Loops mod reports ASAP

@dansup Which app depends more on your judgment, central coordination , or fast decision making? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Loops most likely, the community is much newer, and less established.

#Fediverse

@dansup Which app could lose trust faster if something went wrong? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Most likely Pixelfed, because it has much more data and users, like Direct Messages for example.

A coordinated campaign against Loops and its For You algorithm could be a bigger long-term threat though.

#Fediverse

Good question, @dansup. Let’s explore this on a couple of diffrent levels.

If one app were compromised through a bug, exploit, or abuse vector, which one would suffer more irreversible damage? #fediverse

@Doomscroll Compromised in what way?

#Fediverse

@dansup Which app is more fragile if compromised? #fediverse

@Doomscroll So Pixelfed is highly influenced and inspired by Instagram.

We did consider building Loops into Pixelfed, however, opted to build the vertical scrolling video feature into its own separate app, allowing us to keep Pixelfed algorithm free and maintain the photo first experience that users have come to expect from Pixelfed.

#Fediverse

Okay, @dansup. Pixelfed and Loops solve very different problems. What core principle do they share that made you comfortable building both under the same philosophical umbrella? #fediverse

@Doomscroll By 2016, the software was showing its age, and hard to maintain/update with its custom php backend.

I did start building an ActivityPub plugin for GNU/Social (rebranded from StatusNet) in 2018, but grew frustrated with the lack of participation from the maintainers who didn't want to seem to merge my PRs.

That's when I started Pixelfed, using a modern php framework, Laravel.

#Fediverse

This is where I come to feel a part of something bigger than myself..

I love that there are so many people from so many different places and experiences.

This is a better social media experience.

How about you? Why do you come here?

#fediverse #mastodon #socialmedia

@dansup what did you learn from your experiences running a StatusNet server that you carried forward into your other projects or rejected? #fediverse

@Doomscroll I was drawn in by its use of oStatus, which StatusNet pioneered and was the precursor to ActivityPub.

I operated a StatusNet server between 2012-2016.

#Fediverse

I have to ask, @dansup, what was the appeal of Mastodon when there were so many other social media platforms to choose from?

#fediverse

@Doomscroll Hi, thanks for having me.

My name is Daniel Supernault, I'm a self-taught 36 year old full stack developer from Canada.

I came to Mastodon in late 2016, when it first started. I wasn't that active until I came back in early 2018, right before ActivityPub was finalized.

#Fediverse

Welcome everyone! Today I'm joined by Daniel Supernault / @dansup, creator of Pixelfed and Loops, two very different bets on what ethical social platforms can be. You're invited to follow along, or participate directly, by using #Fediverse. Your questions and observations are part of the signal.

Alt...

Daniel Supernault and his dog.

Just a quick heads-up: our conversation with Dan is happening asynchronously. That means it won’t move at a steady pace the whole time. Questions and replies may come in waves, depending on what’s happening in our everyday lives: phone calls, meetings, coffee refills, or the occasional bathroom break. Think of it as a relaxed, come-and-go conversation rather than a live broadcast.

#Fediverse

Hello, @dansup, thanks for joining us today to talk about Pixelfed and Loops. Before we get into those topics, give us some background about yourself. Who are you, and how did you come to Mastodon?

#Fediverse

Organizers Log:

I just talked to someone at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026.

He is a friend-of-a-friend.

We talked about what we would need for FediCon, in terms of a location, etc.

He needs to ask around (internally at SFU).

Hopefully, can get more details this or next week.

Ever wondered why — truly why — it's so difficult to get a good plumber? Or why the quality product was replaced on the store shelves by rubbish? Or why the decent company got bought out by the thug competition?

Advertising.

The hard-working, value-what-they-do, treat-everyone-well company always loses out to the one that throws everything into clever advertising.

So, how can we produce a market place that is like the Fediverse, where you truly get to chose?

With the news that people are moving to Xiaohongshu due to uncertainty about the future of TikTok and the changes to Meta's content policies, and that people are now really interested in learning Mandarin: I would encourage you to check out the active Chinese-language communities right here on the fediverse as well, such as the public forum at https://ovo.st/club/board (@ board @ ovo.st ), and the instance https://m.cmx.im/about. Or, perhaps, you can follow my recent favourite fediverse account, @labor, which collects news about modern Chinese labour issues that you will never find on Chinese social media platforms.

In general I think there is a huge lack of understanding among western users about how much Chinese social media and Chinese tech companies are intertwined with the government, a lack of understanding or engagement with Chinese social issues which are heavily censored on all Chinese social media platforms, and a mistake belief that "well, Chinese social media can't be much worse than the American ones". I had to mute the discourse around TikTok for my own sanity because there was so much complete misunderstanding around privacy, censorship, and the nature of these companies. It's like seeing people say "we don't want to use apps run by (american) fascists, so we will flock to an app that shares all its data with a fascist government, and actively censors all topics unfavourable to that government". It makes no sense.

Of course, I think it is good that people are engaging with Chinese people, finally, as people, and not as just abstractions. I think it is also good that people have an incentive to learn my native language. I just wish people would use that to engage with and listen to the Chinese people who have been posting here, all along.

A comment on Facebook by someone who's user name has been blurred out that says: Please develop a viable EU citizen-only alternative to Facebook so individuals, hobbies and communities can freely share and enjoy a social media space that is not full of hate and division that is being spread by interests in the USA and East that want to divide Europe and break up the EU. The response by the official European Commission account states the following: Hello Anthony, what if the place you are looking for already exists? A social network created in Europe, free from algorithms? Well, there is the Fediverse, and the best thing: we are posting there too!

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of!

Ich lehne 1 Klarnamenpflicht im #Fediverse ab, weil in der Wahl von Pseudonymen 1 Freiheitsrecht sehe. Obwohl m.E. durch #KI schon heute nahezu jeder Account zugeordnet werden kann. Aber okay, trotzdem.

Was ich jedoch umgekehrt schon erwarte ist, dass sich nicht anonyme Accounts zu Schwärmen zusammenschließen, um dialogische Personen anzumobben. Viele sind deswegen schon wieder gegangen, andere haben sich doch Pseudonyme zugelegt. Nicht gut.

In February, here in the UK, we celebrate LGBTQ+ history month. It's a chance to learn more about the LGBTQ+ people who have shaped our society up until this point.

As the political climate grows less accepting of diversity, it's more important than ever that we share these stories. If you have a story of LGBTQ+ history to share, please do so in the comments 👇 🧡

Ich freu‘ mich wirklich über jede Reaktion, die über das Fediverse in diesen Blog zurückfließt. Dafür habe ich ihn ja gebaut und deshalb schreibe ich (fast) jeden Tag. Aber all die „Favoriten“ und „Reposts“ sind nur Signale – die kann jede:r so interpretieren, wie es gerade genehm ist. Kommentare dagegen, sprechen für sich selbst. Deshalb bedeuten sie mir am meisten. Aber damit hört es ja noch lange nicht auf… Vor einigen Wochen hat dieser Blog schon wieder mal die Grenzen des Mediums (wenn ich das Fediverse mal für den Moment als solches bezeichnen darf?) überwunden. Und meine Freude darüber ist grenzenlos. (Blog)

@fabio I think it’s time to have a list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers on Gaza Verified, just like we have a list of servers friendly to Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and settler colonialism so our friends in Gaza – and anyone with even a sliver of a conscience – can know which parts of the fediverse to avoid.

@ulrich

Danke, solche Reflektionen geben mir Hoffnung:

Viele Menschen werden sich auch im #Fediverse erst neu aus ihren jeweiligen, auch politischen Blasen heraus bewegt haben, hinzu kommt die vermeintliche Anonymität pseudonymer Accounts & sicher auch oft emotionalisierte Nachwirkungen durch algorithmische #Konzernmedien.

Hoffe, dass sich mittelfristig (& leider auch an Eskalationen wie derzeit) 1 neue Kultur des Dialoges entwickelt. Auch deswegen halte ich gerne durch.

Habe wegen des regen Interesses an Demografie & Fossilismus heute morgen noch einmal dazu gebloggt.

Verbunden mit 1 herzlichen Einladung zum vertieften Dialog im #Fediverse, aber nicht nur auf #Mastodon.

Now be honest. How many real human users are on the #Fediverse , when you don't count all the bots?

Wenn sich US-User:innen Sorgen um ihre Daten machen, weil das chinesische #TikTok nun in den Haenden der US-Techbros ist... hatte ich so auch nicht auf meiner Bingokarte fuer dieses Jahr!

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Dienstag. Hier 👉 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/01/tiktok-users-app-privacy-terms-conditions der ganze Artikel

Alt...

​Ein Screenshot eines Nachrichtenartikels, über dem das bekannte TikTok-Logo auf schwarzem Hintergrund prangt. Die Schlagzeile lautet: „‘It’s really sad’: US TikTok users rethink app over concerns about privacy and censorship“. Im Untertitel wird erläutert, dass sich einige Nutzer von der App abwenden, nachdem ein Deal zur Gründung einer US-Einheit geschlossen und die Geschäftsbedingungen aktualisiert wurden

Ich weiß ja nicht, was ich von manchen Fedibewohner:innen halten soll, die anderen am liebsten mit Lineal und Stoppuhr vorschreiben möchten, wie lang ihre Posts gefälligst zu sein haben. Das Fediverse ist doch schon lange kein Mikro-Blog-Fediverse mehr. War es das überhaupt jemals so richtig? 🤔

Aus Gründen (aka: es flammt halt immer wieder auf), greife ich das Thema mal wieder auf, weil sich zuverlässig irgendwo darüber beschwert wird, dass Posts zu lang seien. Liebe Leute, soweit ich weiß, ist Mastodon so ziemlich die einzige größere Plattform im Fediverse mit einer vergleichswei, nennen wir es liebevoll "überschaubaren Zeichenbegrenzung".

Es gibt genügend Instanzen mit 5.000 Zeichen oder mehr. Meine zum Beispiel hat 8.000, weil ich manchmal Dinge ausformuliere. Sharkeyund alle ähnlichen können das auch, Friendica sowieso, ganz sicher habe ich noch so einige vergessen.

Was genau ist eigentlich diese große Liebe zu oft erstaunlich inhaltsarmen Kurzposts? Ist da noch zu viel Twitter in der Blutbahn? Ein bisschen algorithmisches Trauma? "Ein Gedanke, aber bitte nur halb und ohne Kontext"? Oder gar ein falscher Client auf dem Phone der lange Posts nicht kürzt? Klar, knackig kann schön sein, aber nicht alles passt in einen Glückskeks.

Ich schreibe, wenn ich aktiver hier bin, gerne mal lange Posts. Und natürlich, ihr dürft mich deswegen jederzeit entfolgen. Wirklich. Niemand muss sich Inhalte reinziehen, die sie*er nicht lesen will. Das ist ja gerade der Charme hier. Aber dieses passive-aggressive Shitposten mit drohendem Unterton à la "Schreibt keine langen Posts, sonst entfolge und blocke ich euch!!1!“, na ja. Das fühlt sich weniger nach Fediverse und mehr nach selbsternanntem Ordnungshüter mit Sheriffstern aus Pappe an.

Also, ihr lieben Fediwesen 🖤
Wenn ihr lange oder längere Texte schreiben wollt, macht es. Nutzt den Platz, den eure Plattform euch gibt. Erzählt Geschichten, holt aus, denkt laut, seid ausführlich. Lasst euch nicht einschüchtern, nur weil ein paar selbsternannte Content-Sheriffs glauben, sie müssten das Fediverse zur Kurznachrichten-Zone erklären.

Wer kurze Posts will, kann sie lesen.
Wer lange Posts will, kann sie schreiben.
Und wer beides nicht aushält, hat immer noch den Entfolgen-Button ✨

i didn't get that sense @dansup. i wouldn't want to conflate @mastodonmigration 's feedback w/ criticism

for example, the main thing preventing me from joining #PeerTube is how difficult it is to join peertube. they can take that as criticism, or they can address it

#Loops is in beta. it's guaranteed to have some issues. that's not a criticism of loops per se

& i still believe Loops is an excellent opportunity to bring TikTokers to the #Fediverse. feedback to improve it is necessary

Hey #fediverse

Care to share your thoughts on #Upscrolled ?

Is it yet another centralised network?

#socialmedia #askfedi

@courtcan

#Loops is a new #Fediverse platform like #TikTok that was just released in the beta stage

it was created by the guy who created #Pixelfed, the fediverse alternative to #Instagram

it just feels like if people are fleeing TikTok now that the fascists have taken over, it would be a great time to introduce them to the fediverse 😁💙

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

Hey people of #Mastodon & the #Fediverse

Is this an opportunity we can take advantage of to promote #Loops

Is anyone encouraging disenfranchised TikTok'rs to come to Loops?

The best way to promote it would be to bring big creators over. They'd have a chance to have input on improvements at the beta stage

& when we bring people to 1 platform in the Fediverse, we can connect them to all the others💙

Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

I might offend some folks with this poll… but I think it's kind of the elephant in the room, my friends.

Q: Is the biggest problem with #Mastodon in general actually the moderation of its biggest instance: mastodon.social?

This is not directed at anyone personally, rather, it's directed at a toxic culture that I see innocent people/victims posting about over and over again.

(mastodon.social is 300K MAU, next one is 12K)

RE: https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/115952183460649167

I could use a little help getting the word out about this little #fediverse themed meetup at @offline I am organizing TOMORROW with @hongminhee! I know there are many fedi (probably dev oriented) people in #Berlin who didn't make it all the way to brussels this last week and could use a little dose of stimuli, so if you know anyone who you think would enjoy please pass on the word or tag them here.

@liaizon@social.wake.st

On February 3rd (very soon!) I am hosting another [BERLIN FEDERATED NETWORK EXPLORATION CIRCLE] at @offline. It's a chance to meet and talk with people who are interested in the #fediverse & networking & exploration & circ---you get the idea.

We have the pleasure of having @hongminhee who will give a presentation about @fedify "an opinionated #ActivityPub framework for TypeScript that handles the protocol plumbing"

It is an open free event and everyone is welcome!

BERLIN FEDERATED NETWORK EXPLORATION CIRCLE BEFENEC? BEFENEEXCI? we have 洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) all the way here from Korea with a presentation about Fedify, a fediverse library they have been building that is now powering the federation of things like Ghost and Hackers' Pub come join us offline at offline Lichtenrader Str. 49 Berlin

What a whirlwind 72 hours in #Brussels for #FOSDEM! Everyone I met has been working so so hard to build technology explicitly trying to break out of a broken system of corporate hegemony. There were so many different fields present here but I primarily focused on the #fediverse track.

I guess I'm feeling complainy tonight, but come the fuck on. If you're one of the people who has figured out that you can keep making tiny edits every hour to a post I liked or boosted to keep it reappearing in my notifications, Please. Stop.

If you need to edit for clarity or updates or typos, fine. That should be maybe 3-5 edits? With the exception of updates, those should happen as soon as you notice. With updates, sometimes that's great; it's a way to follow a post as it develops.

But some of y'all seem to be doing shit like that to keep your post coming back into my feed over and over again.

I think of this as "friendly fire." You're pissing off the only people who gave your post any love. I have blocked three accounts doing this in the past couple of days. Fuck.

Edit: Of course I had to edit this for typos and whatnot. Of course I did. :/

Wir haben MetADIEU gesagt und haben Facebook und Instagram verlassen. Ihr findet aktuelle Infos auf unsrer offiziellen Webseite oder vernetzt euch hier mit uns auf Mastodon.

A big thank you to those who contributed to making this release, translating, writing documentation, providing emotional support and promoting PieFed! None of this would happen without you all.

New hotness

• Pronouns - when you put pronouns into Extra Fields on your profile that is used as a flair in all communities where you haven’t set a flair yet
• Private communities - no federation, only certain roles (depends on the community) can invite new people. Posts inside are only visible to members.
• Mastodon can now quote-boost PieFed posts
• Plain http web UI (no SSL required) with SSL used during federation - see http://retro.piefed.com
• Downvotes can be turned off completely in a community, not just instance-wide
• Admins can sticky a post on the home page, not just mods in their communities
• Auto-delete of replies on remote instances when reply author has been blocked by parent content author (only works in PieFed communities due to a ActivityPub limitation)
• On home page when showing number of replies a post has, calculate the sum of the replies on all cross-posts and display that
• New users can only do 3 posts in their first 24h, to reduce floods of posts by that guy who keeps deleting his accounts and making new ones

More good stuff

• Improve emoji federation compatibility
• Change order of emoji in picker to present most-used ones first
• Daily time limit on usage to help people use PieFed less (released in 1.5.2)
• A way to report posts that need to be tagged as AI generated
• Better accessibility
• Improved handling of bold and italics in markdown parsing
• Don’t accept votes from people the author has blocked
• Admins can resend email address verification email
• Admins can add notes to instances to keep track of defederation reasons, etc
• Search form has been simplified
• Option for admins to disable the em-dash detector
• Multiple minor bugfixes and security enhancements

To upgrade from 1.5.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.6.x  

At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again. This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git.

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the command: part of the db container which tunes postgresql for performance. Adjust the numbers for your system.

This time the database migrations will not take long.

Hallo @BlumeEvolution

wir von der #DiDaySupportCommunity sind total happy, dass Du hier im #Fediverse bist!

Bitte lass Dich von einzelnen Kritikern und Störenfrieden nicht vertreiben. Du hast 12.000 Follower, die sich sicher ganz überwiegend über Deine Beiträge freuen.

Und ich wünsche mir heute zum #DiDay für morgen ein "Tässle Kaffee"!

Herzlichen Dank, @Der_zuversichtliche_Daniel 🙏 - und liebe Grüße an alle, die das #Fediverse tatsächlich als einen Ort des Dialoges & der demokratischen Vielfalt erhalten wollen.

Ich habe die antisozialen Konzernmedien #Facebook , #Instagram & nach dem Verkauf von Twitter an Elon #Musk auch #X aus Überzeugung verlassen. Doch soweit es an mir liegt, will & werde ich auf #Mastodon bleiben. 🙌 https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/warum-ich-facebook-und-instagram-verlasse-gedanken-zur-medienethik/

OK. Ich hab seit einer Weile ein Paar Kopfgedanken, die ich mal halbsortiert loslassen muss.
Thema: social media, Sperre für Jugendliche, Medienkompetenz.

Mein K1 wird demnächst die Schule wechseln. Es wird bald ein eigenes Smartphone kriegen. Darauf möchte ich aber weder tiktok noch telegram. Whatsapp idealerweise auch nicht.

Eine #Mastodon-instanz für die Klasse wäre aber cool.
Und ab der ... Naja, siebten Klasse, eine Instanz für den Jahrgang. Oder gleich Föderation zwischen den gleichen Klassen. Ab der neunten (?) wird dann Jahrgangsübergreifend föderiert. 9-11, 10-13 oder so.
Ab irgendwann dazwischen auch mit #loops und anderen #fediverse-Spielwiesen.
Moderiert, aber im kleinen Rahmen. Selbst gehostet von der Schule oder für die Schule. Aufwachsend.

Ab der zehnten Klasse müssen sie eh machen können was sie wollen, aber bis dahin könnten wir sie heranbringen an ein System
- ohne Algorithmus
- ohne Werbung
- ohne #influencer-Kram.

Aber mit der Fähigkeit, mit der Technik umzugehen. Mit Klassenkameraden per web und App zu kommunizieren. Wissen zu teilen. Interessengruppen zu bilden.

Und wenn sie dann los gelassen werden, merken sie schnell, was das schlechte ist an obigen Punkten großer #bigtech-Netzwerke - und bleiben dem Fediverse vielleicht treu.
Ist das ein gangbarer Weg?

Ich überlege, das der Schule - oder der Stadt - vorzuschlagen. Es hätte meiner Meinung nach nur Vorteile.

Und ist halt kein Verbot, was eh umgangen wird und die Kinder dann unvorbereitet in das kalte Wasser mit 16 wirft.

Was meint ihr?

Edit: was hält #did #dutgemacht #diday #did_dut davon?

I have no accounts on Meta or X, or any social media platform driven by a desire to generate profit by stoking controversy and division by spreading ideologies of hate. I only support fediverse platforms, specifically Bluesky and Mastodon, for as long as they remain platforms by the people for the people.

Random observation: the #fediverse has a lot more signal than noise.

Thank you for being here.

@Linux_in_a_Bit @markuswerle just to clarify, which display manager are you using? It's the display manager where you configure this (or accept whatever is the default). You have a choice of display manager if you use Debian (or most other linux distributions for that matter). I use Cinnamon, others use Gnome or KDE or XFCE or other alternatives.
So you have choices. In this respect desktop Linux is to the Windows or Apple desktops much like the #Fediverse is to Facebook or X. But yes it can be confusing.

Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?

Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?

Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?

If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:

Painterly pink and cream peonies bloom across a dark, moody background with soft gold leaf accents. The brushstrokes are expressive and romantic, creating an elegant floral composition that feels both timeless and feminine. Art by Lisa S Baker.

I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.

I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.

Das mag ja stimmen, @JWGOETHE738 - aber im #Fediverse sind WIR " die #Medien ". Wenn auch Du also erkennst, dass die Berichterstattung voller Vor-Urteile ist, dann bitte ich Dich umso mehr, diese selbst zu hinterfragen und nicht weiter zu verbreiten.

Ich habe auch hier auf #Mastodon wirklich mehr als genug linken, parteipolitischen #Dualismus eingesteckt & bitte um Verständnis, dass ich meine Zeit lieber für fairen #Dialog auch mit Dir verwenden möchte.

Vielen Dank für Dein Verständnis! 🙏 Ich möchte jedoch im #Fediversum gerne weiterhin dialogisch bleiben.

Es käme mir wie ein Missbrauch des ehrenamtlichen Engagements von #Fediverse - Aktiven vor, wenn ich #Mastodon nur als Abwurfstelle für Statements & Videos benutzen würde. Nach meinem Verständnis sollte es hier auch um echten #Dialog gehen. & dann eben darum, wie viel persönlich zu schaffen ist...

@VQuaschning @AwetTesfaiesus @ImmerNurRichtung @zoe

https://sueden.social/@BlumeEvolution/115963981301268782

Danke, @sunnythesheep - ich habe auf Loops auch schon einen Account.

Aber nach dem letzten Shitstörmle hier auf Mastodon zögere ich, mich im Fediverse noch mehr mit Klarnamen zu exponieren. Anonym ginge nicht & ich habe einfach keine Lust, täglich zur Zielscheibe von feindseligen Dualisten zu werden, die sogar mit moderaten Christdemokraten nicht klarkommen. Deswegen zögere ich noch, ob ich mir Loops auch noch antue...

#Fediverse #Mastodon #Loops #Hate

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge "Blume & Ince" mit @BlumeEvolution geht es am Anfang um digitalen Hass. #digitalhate Ich musste echt schlucken, dass Michael Blume sogar hier im #fediverse mittlerweile so angegangen wurde, dass er sein Jahre langes "Tässle Kaffee" nicht mehr ausgibt. Genau wegen solcher Anfeindungen, die mir auch passiert sind, bin ich anonym unterwegs. Lasst uns doch hier bitte respektvoll miteinander umgehen. Das kann doch nicht so schwer sein.
#hateaid #hatespeech #respekt

Vielen lieben Dank, @finnsend 🙏 - von der vielen Solidarität auch im #Fediverse & auch durch @Teh_Doc_Inan bin ich schon sehr bewegt.

Vielleicht erinnern wir ja im Fediverse inklusive Mastodon doch noch eine Kultur, in der Vielfalt wirklich geschätzt wird & Differenzen im fairen Dialog statt durch anonym angreifende Schwärme ausgetragen werden?

Das wäre so klasse! 🙌🌞 #Fediverse #Mastodon #Medienethik #Kultur #GegenjedenDualismus #Dialog https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/blume-ince-50-digitale-gewalt-die-kultur-japanischer-blutgruppen/
