I’m Senono Steven, an environmental activist from Uganda committed to protecting our planet and building a healthier, greener future for everyone.

My work is driven by a simple belief: environmental protection is not only about nature—it is about people, communities, health, livelihoods, and the future generations who will inherit the world we leave behind.

I use my voice, knowledge, and actions to raise awareness about climate change, environmental conservation, pollution, waste management, biodiversity, tree planting, sustainable living, and the importance of protecting our natural resources.

I believe meaningful change starts with individuals and grows through communities. That is why I encourage young people and everyone around me to take practical action, share environmental knowledge, care for their surroundings, and become part of solutions rather than remaining silent about environmental challenges.

My mission is to inspire environmental responsibility, promote sustainable practices, support conservation, and encourage communities to protect the ecosystems that sustain us.

My vision is a Uganda—and a world—where people and nature can thrive together, where clean air and water are valued, forests and biodiversity are protected, and future generations can enjoy a safe and sustainable planet.

I’m here to learn, connect, educate, collaborate, and turn environmental concern into action. Every tree planted, every piece of waste properly managed, every person inspired, and every positive conversation can contribute to a bigger change.

Protect nature. Inspire action. Build a sustainable future.

„If the Social Web isn't just for nerds, why are we saying stuff like this to newcomers:

Okay, so the fediverse is like, a bunch of interconnected servers, all talking to each other. They all use the same open protocol, so the whole network is interoperable, and anybody can self-host their own new server whenever they want. You can get on the fediverse through any server. We call these servers »instances«. If you wanna join fedi, you can just go to this website and pick an instance to sign up through. All the instances are referred to by names like mastodon.social, because we like to use domain names for some reason.

(...)

We must keep this in mind when trying to sell the Social Web to people. Normal people don't know what »federated« means — they didn't watch Star Trek, they just think you're a cop. Normal people really don't know what a protocol is, or what interoperability means. Stop talking like this. I also don't know why we're using the word »instance« to refer to servers. Server is literally easier to understand even for tech people. Even better than server would be »site«, which is the terminology that I tend to use.

Here's a better explanation of the Social Web that actually communicates the idea to a normal person:

The Social Web is like social media away from Big Tech. Instead of being a walled garden where you're trapped, the Social Web is like a bunch of different social media websites connected together. You can pick any site to sign up with, and then you can follow people who signed up on other sites too, so it kind of forms one big network, or online space. If you wanna sign up, you can make a Mastodon account (Mastodon is like, one of the categories/types of sites on the Social Web) at this website. You can use the default option, or pick a different »instance« (site) if you want, too. It doesn't really matter which site you decide to sign up with, since you can always change your mind and move to a different one later.“

Really disappointed with strikegently.co aka @lowqualityfacts

Since July 29th, I have placed 5 orders for pins with them, totaling $321.78. On August 6th, I contacted them through their website to ask why my pins were not shipping. Madeline Riehl replied that my first order would ship by the next day, and on August 7th I received an email to say my first package had shipped, with a tracking number provided.

As of today (August 10th) USPS still shows that a shipping label was created on August 7th, but they have not received a package to ship.

Meanwhile, my account on the Strike Gently website shows that first order as "fulfilled". My other orders are shown as "unfulfilled". There is no way to cancel those orders via the Strike Gently website, so today I replied by email that I would like refunds for all the unfulfilled orders.

I've also started my day by calling my bank to begin an official dispute claim against Strike Gently, based on the fact that my first order from July 29th has been marked as "fulfilled" but exists (as far as I am able to discern at this time) only as a shipping label.

Very disappointed in Strike Gently's lack of transparency.

Het leuke aan de #Fediverse (waar Mastodon ook onderdeel van is) is dat er steeds nieuwe oplossingen bij komen, die aanhaken in het grotere geheel. Vaak zijn het proefballonnen en komt het merendeel niet echt van de grond.

Ben nu #littleFedi van @stefano aan het testen en kan oprecht zeggen: wow 🤯

Het zou een lichtgewicht implementatie moeten zijn en de software is nog in de testfase, maar voelt nu al beter in elkaar gezet dan Mastodon. Supervriendelijke interface, focus op de dingen die er daadwerkelijk toe doen zodat je minder ruis hebt. Gelijktijdig heeft het een geweldige optie voor kennisdeling, zoals een ingebouwde blog. Zo kun je "vlugge" posts maken (inclusief self-destruct per bericht!), maar ook zaken die je voor de langere termijn wil bewaren, opslaan als blogpost.

Veel software: 😡 🤮
littleFedi: 😍

Dit is hoe software hoort te zijn: focus, simpel, handige opties.

Helaas is het nog "invite-only", maar voor iedereen die overweegt om een eigen installatie op te willen zetten, hou littleFedi in de gaten.

Bij deze meteen een test om te zien als ik naar mijn eigen profiel link:

So this is my very first interaction with littleFedi. I'm amazed by how well it looks !

So let's keep this post simple and share its website: https://littlefedi.org/

#littlefedi #fediverse

LittleFedi asks in the compose field:
"What is worth sharing?"

Interesting question 🤔

Other clients ask, e.g.:
"What's on your mind?"
(you don't want to know, really 😁)
or
"What are you doing?"
(nothing really, watching my timeline fly by)

Another question could be:
"Have you really thought about what you are about to share with the public / whole wide world?" 🤔

Typische Familienkutsche in #Taiwan und nein, das ist keine Ausnahme, eher die Regel wenn ne Familie unterwegs ist.

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in die neue Woche. Alles wird gut!

Eine Aufnahme aus dem Straßenverkehr in Taiwan, die eine vierköpfige Familie auf einem einzigen Motorroller zeigt. Zentrales Motiv: Ein dunkler Motorroller wird von einer Frau im roten Oberteil und mit orangefarbenem Helm gesteuert. Vor ihr am Lenker sitzt ein kleines Kind, während hinter ihr ein zweites Kind und ganz hinten der Mann im schwarzen T-Shirt und hellblauem Helm mitfahren – alle tragen einen Helm.

Hej, I'm Florian, or Flo for short (only my family calls me with my full name).

Born 1977 as a gay person, and raised near Lake Constance in the south of Germany.
After my parents got a divorce and my father met another woman, we moved to Dresden, when I was 15.
Lived here until I started my apprenticeship in 2000 in Lindau (Lake Constance), so moved back again.
After being self-employed (ebay seller and creating simple websites), which unfortunately wasn't sustainable, I took a job in the security branch, however only got contracts for one year (three times), until I moved back to Dresden in 2010 and lived here ever since.

Since 2018 I have a dog, which you can see in my header picture, when we took a walk along the river Elbe.

Currently unemployed (since May '24), IT-support (thanks "AI", which overtook my profession, I guess).

Interested in too many things, like minimalism, barefoot shoes, cycling, music, interior design, and much more.

I was a twitter "power user", from 2009-2022.
Created my first account in the fediverse on mastodon.social in 2018, however only used it sporadically.
Since the end of 2022, I exclusively use the fediverse and experienced different network software (mastodon, akkoma, pixelfed, and now littlefedi).

That's it as an introduction for now 😀

PS: English is my first foreign language, so please bear with me in case of errors.

Ode to the Fediverse

Come gather, creatures, near and far,
From forest, burrow, moon, and star.
With feathers, fur, and scales in tow,
And quirks that make the whole place glow.

Some chirp, some howl, some hiss, some squeak,
And yet kindness is all they speak.
A thousand charms, a thousand ways
To brighten up each other’s days.

Now bring your paws, your wings, your claws,
Your odd ideas and curious flaws.
Come as you are, be wild, be weird
For every kind of strange is cheered!

So welcome one and welcome all,
Come find your kin, both great and small.
A place where every kind’s diverse,
In what we call the fediverse.

Monday I'm going to say out loud the thing I couldn't fit in 800 words this morning: that the 4:34 a.m. vote and the jobs report are not two stories. They're one story, and the timing of the first tells you exactly what they thought of the second.

Everyone loves text formatting, but not everyone loves Markdown.

We've got you covered.

I'm merging a branch that includes a WYSIWYG editor, which will translate the output directly into Markdown.
No more tags to remember when writing your next post (or blog post), just a convenient, predictable editor.

What do you think?

littleFedi media management

Are you worried that your low-power device will be overwhelmed by external media caching?

Don't worry, we've already thought of that!

littleFedi offers 4 media management options:

• "No caching, no proxying": Media is fetched directly by the user from the originating instance.
• "Proxy only mode" (like this instance): The instance proxies requests so media is always served to the user through it. The originating instance will never see littleFedi users' requests.
• "Lazy caching mode": Requests are proxied and then cached locally, so subsequent requests are served directly from the local cache.
• "Full caching mode": Similar to Mastodon, it fetches and stores media locally as soon as it is processed by the instance.

For both caching modes, you can store media locally or use an external S3-compatible service. Moving between storage types is supported natively, without needing external tools like rclone.

New littleFedi build on littleOne

littleFedi 26.08.09 - the changes in this build compared with the previous
deployment.

Followed hashtags in the main navigation

Your followed hashtags are now one click away: a Hashtags entry (with a
hashtag icon) has been added to the desktop navigation bar and the mobile
account menu, pointing at /tags. The label is translated in every supported
language.

Blog posts show a link back to their permalink

Posts that have been published to the blog now carry a small Blog chip in
the status meta line. It links to the post's readable permalink
(/@user/blog/<slug>/) and works on timestamps and boosts, so readers can jump
straight from the timeline to the polished blog version of a long post.

Status meta line reworked

Every marker on a status - visibility, language, blog chip, expiry - is now
rendered as the same uniform chip in a single wrapping flex row, instead of a
mix of right-aligned inline boxes. Posts that carry several markers read as one
neat line rather than a ragged stack. The Ink and Roost themes were adjusted to
match.

Robustness: orphaned-account posts no longer break the page

Previously a post whose author account no longer resolves (a purged account, or
a partially hydrated cache entry) could fail the whole timeline render. Now any
status - including the target of a boost - whose author is missing is silently
skipped. Covered by a new test.

Icon updates

• Catch-up view and its navigation entries now use a VHS icon instead of the
  old sparkle (thank you for the suggestion, @shom@littleone.littlefedi.social ).
• The "redraft" action gets a proper undo icon.
• The Appearance and Blog appearance settings sections get a palette
  icon.
• New hashtag icon for the navigation.

Blog theming fixes

• Proper spacing restored for non-paragraph content in the post body: headings,
  bullet/numbered lists, horizontal rules and code blocks now breathe instead of
  collapsing against each other.
• A post with a single attachment now renders a full-width figure (the old
  grid left a small thumbnail stranded at the left edge).
• The "View or reply in the Fediverse" link is now consistently styled.
• Ledger theme: long code lines scroll inside their block instead of
  breaking out past the reading measure.
• Marginalia theme: the thread link, replies and pager now align to the text
  column on wide screens, and print output was cleaned up.

If you publish a blog, regenerate it so the fixes apply: Settings → Blog
appearance → Rebuild blog now. The blog's style.css is assembled at build
time, so it only picks up these changes when you rebuild.

#littleFedi #littleOne #Fediverse

To say I am excited about #LittleFedi software would be an understatement. What I am seeing from @stefano and the team breaks new barriers for entering in, and participating in, the #Fediverse. Can't wait to test on a self hosted Pi at home. If successful, I shall migrate my long established Mastodon cloud instance to it and serve all from home on local hardware.

☀️ Hitze, 🛋️ Wochenende, 🥱 Langeweile – was macht man da?

Genau: Sinnfreie Statusseiten mit eigenem Design bauen. 😄

Da sich unser tolles Werkzeug #UptimeKuma ja so *hervorragend* designen lässt (Ja! Das war dezente Kritik. Dennoch: Danke für dieses tolle Stück Software! ;) - musste ich für die Optik mit der API ran.

Für zwei von drei Welten gibt es nun kleine eigene Statusseiten die zwar schon bestanden und auch weiterhin bleiben, aber eben im eigenem Kuma-Design.
Beide greifen auf die API ihres jeweiligen Origins zu:

🌐 #AWsite – mit eigener Subdomain:
https://status.weindl.biz

🌐 #FEROX – bekommt einen Pfad:
https://ferox.cc/status

Einzig #AWiT bleibt vorerst beim Kuma-Standarddesign. AWiT bekommt aber in absehbarer Zeit ein komplettes Redesign, sobald die Vereinsgründung abgeschlossen ist.

Nun aber: Weil ich heute durch einen anderen Post auf den Geschmack gekommen bin, heißt es jetzt #Couchen und #DemolitionMan in OV schauen. 📺

Sanfte Grüße 🌙 und wer Probleme mit seinem Bidet hat -> die 3 Muscheln benutzen!

#SelfHosting #OpenSource #StatusPage #Webdesign #Mastodon #Fediverse #Uptime #Homelab #Linux #Die3Muscheln

We definitely need more peace.

Es hat eine goldbraune Teigstruktur und ist in der typischen Spirale gewickelt. Details & Glasur: Die Oberfläche ist großzügig mit einer glänzenden, klebrigen Zimt-Zucker-Sauce überzogen. In den Rillen und Zwischenräumen der Teigspirale sind kleine Stücke von gebackener Apfelfüllung und Nüssen zu erkennen.

Over the past couple of days, I did something I haven't done in probably three years: I cleaned up the list of who I'm following. I started with 1,559, and now I'm at 650.

I've been feeling the pull to do more exploring and follow some new people and topics, but I wanted to consolidate and start from a sane, current list first.

Before anybody panics (or gets mad at me for being a clout-chasing weirdo): the vast majority I cut were inactive accounts.

I like supporting local arts events, and hope it builds community some and connects people with positive experiences because, well, we need more connection and more things to look forward to. If this resonates, start something and keep doing it, and when you see stuff you like on the fediverse, boost it. Deal?

Great day at #Fedicon yesterday. I met lots of new people from the #ActivityPub community. I've always thought that #XMPP and the #Fediverse are ideologically well-aligned, and that our developer communities should talk to each other more. In that regard, it was a big success.

📰 Wochenrückblick KW 31 / 2026

Der Wochenrückblick kommt diesmal mit etwas Verspätung. Inzwischen ist schon wieder Freitagnacht – manchmal schreibt eben das echte Leben den Terminplan. 😊
Die vergangene Woche hat wieder einmal gezeigt, wie nah Freude und Sorge in der Sächsischen Schweiz beieinanderliegen.

Nach einem Regenschauer zeigte sich Königstein von seiner schönsten Seite. Über den Elbhängen hing noch der Nebel, während sich langsam wieder die Sonne ihren Weg bahnte. Ganz anders der Blick auf den Lilienstein: Das goldene Getreide ist reif und überall sind die Mähdrescher unterwegs. Die Erntezeit hat begonnen und die Felder verändern sich nun fast täglich.

Die Elbe dagegen führt weiterhin sehr wenig Wasser. Die historischen Schaufelraddampfer mussten ihren Fahrbetrieb wegen des Niedrigwassers einstellen. Zum Glück verbindet die Personenfähre zwischen Königstein und Halbestadt die beiden Elbufer weiterhin zuverlässig – ein kleines Stück Normalität in diesen ungewöhnlichen Tagen.

Besonders bewegt hat viele Menschen das schwere Unwetter, das am vergangenen Wochenende den Raum Rathen getroffen hat. Innerhalb weniger Minuten richteten Sturm und umstürzende Bäume enorme Schäden an. Ein Mensch verlor dabei sein Leben, weitere wurden verletzt. Auch die Felsenbühne Rathen, der Bootsverleih und der Imbiss am Amselsee sowie zahlreiche Wanderwege wurden schwer beschädigt. Die Hilfsbereitschaft in der Region ist jedoch beeindruckend: Viele Einsatzkräfte, Helfer und Freiwillige packen gemeinsam an, damit unsere schöne Heimat Schritt für Schritt wieder auf die Beine kommt.

Mein viertes Bild zeigt einen Hochsitz mitten im Wald – ein stiller Ort.
Diese 4 Bilder zeigen, wie kraftvoll und zugleich verletzlich die Natur sein kann. Sie schenkt uns Erholung, verlangt aber auch Respekt.

Mehr gibt es diese Woche gar nicht zu berichten. Manchmal erzählen schon vier Bilder mehr als viele Worte. Der Wetterbericht verspricht auch für die kommende Woche wieder viel Sonne und sommerliche Temperaturen. So schön das für Ausflüge und Urlaub ist – unsere Wälder, Felder und die Elbe würden sich inzwischen wohl über ein paar ausgiebige Regentage freuen. Bleiben wir trotzdem zuversichtlich, genießen die schönen Seiten des Sommers und hoffen, dass die Natur bald wieder etwas aufatmen kann. 🌾🍀

Stefano Marinelli (creator of the excellent FediMeteo) is working on a new type of lightweight Fediverse server called "littleFedi".

It's still in its early days and under development, but the first test server is now open and Stefano is gathering feedback about it. More info in the quoted post at https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@stefano/a105002b-5749-437d-a3cd-da54dfa70395 and more detail at https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@stefano/4252ae6f-b949-42f8-a021-fd2b698f8b37

You can follow Stefano at @stefano@bsd.cafe or on his littleFedi account at @stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social

Hi everyone, I'm Stefano

Also known as the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe barista - @stefano@bsd.cafe and @stefano@illumos.cafe

This is the first post from littleOne (littleone.littlefedi.social), the first littleFedi instance open to outside users.

littleFedi is a new ActivityPub server, still in active development, written in Go and shipped as a single binary. It speaks standard ActivityPub, so it federates normally with Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma and the rest of the fediverse, and it exposes a Mastodon-compatible API, so most existing apps already work with it.

A few things about it that aren't the usual fediverse defaults:

• Catch-up instead of an algorithm. Timelines stay chronological, full stop. There's a separate /catchup page, visited on demand, that ranks what you missed using only signals this instance already has locally - who you follow boosted it, replies and favourites delivered here, hashtags you follow. No external popularity data comes in, nothing about what you read is tracked. It answers "what did I miss" without turning into a feed that decides for you.

• Static blogging built in. Any post can be marked as a blog post and gets published as a plain static page under /@username/blog/, with its own permalink, Atom feed, and no JavaScript or database hit per view, while still being a normal federated post underneath. A proper home for longer writing that doesn't need to compete with a timeline.

• Self-expiring posts. Any post can be given a timer and auto-delete on its own.

• Bubble timeline. A middle ground between local and federated: a timeline scoped to a set of instances you've chosen to group together, not just your own or everything.

• littleMesh. A way to federate without a public domain, certificate, or open port at all - meant for something like a Raspberry Pi behind NAT. Instances get an address derived from an Ed25519 key pair and reach each other through pinned relays that never see plaintext.

• No trends, no suggestions. These are intentionally left empty. Nothing here is trying to surface "popular" content or keep anyone scrolling longer.

• Security defaults taken seriously. Signed federation (HTTP Signatures), optional Object Integrity Proofs, TOTP MFA, audit logs, and full account export, migration and deletion if you ever want your data to live somewhere else.

This instance is here to test all of that with real accounts, not just a small group ones'. In the next few days I'll be reaching out to everyone who already told me they were interested, to set the first accounts up - an invite is coming. If you'd rather just follow along and see how it goes, that works too.

It's a test instance, so expect the occasional rough edge. If something breaks or feels wrong, tell me - that's exactly what this phase is for.

🌞 Moin ihr Lieben – endlich Wochenende!

Der Blick aus meinem Fenster verrät es schon: Auch heute erwartet uns wieder herrliches Sommerwetter. ☀️ Und das nun schon seit Tagen.

Ein bisschen mehr Wasser dürfte allerdings gern in der Elbe sein. Die historischen Schaufelraddampfer haben ihre Fahrten wegen des Niedrigwassers eingestellt – ein ungewohntes Bild für unsere Region.

Aber zum Glück gibt es noch genügend andere Möglichkeiten, die Natur zu genießen. 🌿 Ob ein Spaziergang durch den Wald, eine Wanderung durch die Berge, ein ruhiges Plätzchen am Wasser oder einfach nur irgendwo sitzen, schauen und die Gedanken schweifen lassen – überall gibt es Orte, die uns ein wenig Ruhe und Erholung schenken können.

Für mich fühlt sich dieses Wochenende außerdem schon ein bisschen nach Vorfreude an: Nicht mehr lange, dann gönne ich mir nächste Woche selbst eine kleine Pause. 😊

Und auch im Fediverse darf es am Wochenende ruhig einmal etwas entspannter zugehen. Nicht jede Diskussion muss geführt, nicht jeder Beitrag kommentiert und nicht jede Nachricht sofort beantwortet werden. Vielleicht teilen wir stattdessen einfach ein bisschen von dem, was uns Freude macht: einen schönen Ausblick, einen stillen Moment, eine kleine Entdeckung oder ein freundliches Wort.

Denn auch das gehört für mich zum Fediverse: miteinander teilen, sich austauschen und zwischendurch einfach gemeinsam die schönen Dinge wahrnehmen. 🌻

Ich wünsche euch ein schönes, erholsames Wochenende. Genießt den Sommer und passt gut auf euch auf. ☀️🌿

Blick über die Elbe auf Königstein in der Sächsischen Schweiz an einem sonnigen Sommertag. Im Tal liegen die Häuser der Stadt mit der Kirche in der Mitte. Dahinter erheben sich dicht bewaldete Hänge; rechts oben sind Felsen der Festung Königstein zu erkennen. Im Vordergrund stehen grüne Bäume und Sträucher. Über der Landschaft spannt sich ein kräftig blauer Himmel mit wenigen weißen Wolken.

Five of Indonesia’s most powerful security officials declared the country secure while malls were fenced, unfenced, and a woman was arrested for a Facebook post. Eleven days before Independence Day, the government is managing memory to protect extraction and punish warning. That same government moved fast enough to make a dictator a national hero within a year of taking office; it has never moved that fast for anyone’s survival, anywhere. Below is this week’s mutual aid roundup.Below are ten mutual aid requests, two Palestinian campaign spotlights, and verified campaigns needing direct support and sharing.
