Carrots Delight: 1-lisas-baker.pixels.com/featu

Carrots Delight by Lisa S. Baker. A cheerful bundle of multicolored carrots comes to life in this textured abstract painting. Thick painterly strokes in vibrant shades of orange, pink, green, yellow, and lavender give the carrots a whimsical personality, while their leafy green tops add a fresh pop of contrast. The pastel background creates a soft and modern touch, balancing playful energy with painterly elegance.

            Do I regret turning down VC money? Not for a second.

            VC funding is fast growth paid for by betraying your day-one users and abandoning your principles. That's always the trade.

            I'll choose failure over selling out every time.

            This community actually matters to me, and I mean that.

            If I didn't care about you or the fediverse, I would have sold out long ago.

              Loops could be the most active fediverse platform by the end of 2026.

              TikTok is the world's most popular social app, facing a forced sale to Oracle while US politics poison its algorithm. Millions will be looking for alternatives.

              We have few real short-video platforms in the fediverse. This is our moment.

Die technologischen Fortschritte, die Veränderungen der medialen Umwelt sowie Hochgeschwindigkeitsfinanz erfordern einen hohen Bildungsaufwand, den wir bei weitem nicht erreichen, bzw. gerade dabei sind eher zu verlieren. In jeder Gesellschaft sind wir eben von den uns umgebenden Vorbilder auch abhängig. Da wird die Mimesis von einem evolutionären Vorteil zu einer Schwäche.

                            I haven't used TikTok since before I found the Fediverse, so I don't know. I do know that some people came over here from over there, in response to the so-called ban back in January. I know the Fediverse definitely was talked about on TikTok, during that time, because I saw it (people posted some of the videos here).

                            Are we still a topic of discussion elsewhere?

                              Death threats, attempting to end my online self, transphobia [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                              This needs to stop. I’m stuck in a friend group that has become increasingly transphobic, and while I know some people will say “just leave,” it’s not that simple. That group chat holds years of memories, inside jokes, and moments that once mattered to me, and walking away from that isn’t easy. At the same time, staying has been emotionally exhausting and genuinely painful.

                              On top of that, I’ve been receiving threats almost every day. The constant negativity, harassment, and hostility online have been wearing me down to the point where it’s hard to function normally. Social media no longer feels like a place to connect it feels like a place where I’m constantly under attack. I’ve reached moments where I felt completely overwhelmed and hopeless because of how cruel the internet can be.

                              Because of this, I’ve had to reduce my activity on several platforms. Some spaces feel unsafe, and others feel like I’m being watched or targeted, which has made it even harder to exist online without anxiety. Taking a step back isn’t me giving up it’s me trying to protect what’s left of my mental health.

                              I’m still trying to focus on real-life things, like getting everything set up for Christmas and holding onto some sense of normalcy. But it’s difficult to do that when the harassment and transphobia don’t stop. I need people to understand that words and behavior like this have real consequences.

                              I’m tired. I’m asking for basic respect, empathy, and space so I can breathe and heal. No one should be pushed to their limits just for existing, and I shouldn’t have to choose between my memories and my safety.

                                    ⏳️ Mais um ano se vai e, ao contrário de vários outros sistemas, :mastodon:, o mais comum na nossa querida Web Social federada, permanece sem deixar publicar Markdown, embora exiba o de terceiros. Neste caso, que considero pior, ainda não ocorre sequer um aviso a quem o utiliza de que houve um de suas publicações. 🔕

                                    Sim, essa funcionalidade acaba de ser implementada pelo SNAC (merci @vi@downbad.fr 👏), nem foi lançada ainda e já estou me gabando por utilizá-lo! :tobeyBully:

                                    Gostei muito de poder reagir assim às publicações, como já era possível em outros como , , etc. Mas , embora, até então, não exibisse EmojiReact junto à publicação correspondente, já gerava notificação de sua ocorrência faz tempo. Achava que no Mastodon isso ficasse sempre como se fosse uma curtida, mas, apenas ao testar isso, notei que não surte qualquer efeito. O mais curioso é que consta uma estrutura de dados que serviria para isso desde Mastodon 3.1.0. Ficamos assim então! :travolta:

                                          @sarah I've gotten about a dozen people on fedi to try out simplex just by explaining the merits, a handful still talk to me there. IRL my contacts understand the importance of privacy from their government, they know about Edward Snowden and PRISM and Tempora and especially COINTELPRO

                                          If you just wanna try it out again and see how its improved in the past couple years I do have something I want to talk to you about veganism

                                            Our combined GDP is more than 21 trillion euros. I’m pretty sure @Framasoft @Mastodon @IceCubesApp @ivory @Tusky etcetera could use a small amount of that?

                                                  2025 self-hosting wrapped

                                                  Let’s review which self-hosting service really worked for me in 2025.

                                                  I rarely talk about the one that just work. That’s the problem with good work … if something just works, and doesn’t bother you… you tend to forget about it even exists because using it is more a habit than an effort.

                                                  Paperless NGX

                                                  My almost daily work horse is Paperless NGX. It’s my default for all documents. My local printer-scanner has the Paperless Inbox set as default scanning target. All incoming snail mail that is worth archiving get’s scanned and sent to Paperless.

                                                  Paperless does the tagging automatically (with local machine learning models). Sometimes I have to correct a correspondent or a tag. But mostly it get’s it right.

                                                  Immich

                                                  This is my Google Photos replacement. A client on my iPhone constantly backs up my photos to my self-hosted Immich instance. It archives and indexes the photos (also with local machine learning models) so that I can search for faces and other objects.

                                                  NextCloud

                                                  My document sync backend. Mostly using it share files between devices and host contacts. Not using any fancy features or plugins. Really just for file sharing.

                                                  Occasionally sharing files with 3rd parties via temporary links.

                                                  My Joplin notes and OmniFocus files are synced via the NextCloud WebDAV interface.

                                                  Mastodon

                                                  Of course… one of the most widespread Fediverse software out there.

                                                  Hosting my own Bookmark service for years. Using the robust Links software for this.

                                                  BookWyrm

                                                  Another Fediverse service. This one around sharing books one has read or wants to read including reviews and quotes. Very lovely developer with great support for his community.

                                                  Peertube

                                                  being able to host your own video streaming to embed videos in various websites … awesome. And it’s also able to fetch and archive videos from various sources (online mediatheks, YouTube etc.)

                                                  WordPress

                                                  Of course WordPress … this is what you’re currently reading. And with the ActivityPub Plugin it’s even part of the fediverse.

                                                  Pixelfed

                                                  The Instagram alternative in the Fediverse. There is a bit of a love/hate relationship with this. It works. But there is not really much development going on for the self-hosted version… despite the buzz around it.

                                                    It trims the wicks.
                                                    It keeps the beam steady while the rest of the internet thrashes about like a gull in a chip bag.

                                                    No algorithms barking orders.
                                                    No feeds screaming engage.
                                                    Just quiet systems, honest uptime, and a signal that means what it says.

                                                    Build slow.
                                                    Shine true.
                                                    Guide those who choose to look up.

                                                      Other microblogging sites have a sort of algorithmic supremacy going on where you trade personality for a ticket to the internet celebrity lottery. No individualism. You pick your niche from a set deck and you play the FYP slots.

                                                      Meanwhile, everyday I run into someone who's like "hey I'm star-cake. I'm a queer carrot farmer. I collect Soviet-era camera lenses." Amazing.

                                                          I recently came across three separate platforms:

                                                          Qortal: qortal.org

                                                          ZeroNet: zeronet.io

                                                          and

                                                          Plebbit: plebbit.com

                                                          That all claim to be completely decentralized.

                                                          There’s even talk about how Plebbit is more decentralized than the Fediverse, because the Fediverse is based off of instances.

                                                          www.reddit.com/r/javascript/s/0ynXzrD5H6

                                                          And I was curious, would such a setup work better for the Fediverse, or is it basically just a huge scam/waste of time and money?

                                                                I've only had this account on the fediverse/mastodon for 3 years, yet I've had more weird hate than at any other time I've been online except possibly USENET in the 1990s and Twitter in the 2010s when I was tweeting favorably about Occupy. People here have suggested I'm lying more times than I remember. I mean dang, it's fine to disagree with someone but you don't need to besmirch their character. If this were the 18th century we'd be dueling.

                                                                I tend to speak my mind because I'm of the opinion that the Abilene paradox should not be a lifestyle, and that's gotten me some IRL hate over the years. But given what I've experienced here and how I've seen others treated, I'd say Mastodon really is something special in this regard.

                                                                          The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

                                                                          - Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

                                                                          - Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

                                                                          - Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

                                                                          - Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

                                                                          - Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

                                                                          - Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

                                                                          - The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

                                                                          - Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

                                                                          If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

                                                                          And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

                                                                                                  Then, since 2022, some of these platforms became not so welcoming place to communicate — state-controlled trolls, just a morons and a stream of apocalyptic news leave no place for interesting things. And some of these platforms were simply blocked by state, since they are competed with official propaganda.

                                                                                                  At the same time a read a blogpost of @vas3k about Web that couldn't be so simply blocked, not depends on some corporate entity, etc: vas3k.blog/blog/unstoppable_we

                                                                                                  Thusly, I started to think about since it was described as a one of the biggest federated thing — it should provide me a way (as I think) stay independent from corporations and companies with their lies about "human approach" and "customer-oriented services" (stares to fucking NameCheap :drgn_knife_angry: ). If my Mastodon instance admin decide to go crazy or just be forced by state to ban all Russians — well, when I simply migrate to another server, without this madness.

                                                                                                  So, I selected the mas.to server using the instructions from aforementioned blogpost. And I used it for some time, learning how Fediverse works, by the way.

                                                                                                  First of all, I tried to type some hashtags for Emacs, Thinkpad and FreeBSD and found a lot of interesting people and a lot of interesting discussions — so my timeline became filled with interesting toots very quickly.

                                                                                                  Also, I discovered an extremly useful (compared to other social networks, lol) feature to hide all unwanted toots by word filters. So, finally I was able to clear my timelines from any unwanted toots.

                                                                                                  After near a year I found, that all cool kids have a small separate servers where they write about cool things. At this time I already found that mastodon server should be selected carefully to have a local timeline readable — on the mas.to, since it was located in the USA, there were a lot of USA news in it's timeline. Which is obviously wasn't interesting for me.

Encrypted messaging has become a standard feature on most social networks since ActivityPub was created, and its lack has inhibited Social Web adoption and public trust in the network.

                                                                                                                                              ActivityPub is extensible, though. As part of our E2EE program, Mallory, Tom and I adapted the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard as an extension of ActivityPub to make the MLS over ActivityPub specification. The protocol fits the great MLS E2EE system onto the ActivityPub API and federation protocol.

                                                                                                                                              But a protocol specification is not enough; it must be implemented. That’s why we’re so happy to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund has commissioned work with the Social Web Foundation to coordinate two new interoperable implementations of MLS over ActivityPub. This investment by the Sovereign Tech Fund will help move the Fediverse towards more privacy for social web users, no matter what server they use.

                                                                                                                                              We decided to partner with two different projects in order to make sure that we’re making an open standard that can work between implementations. With two implementers, we’ll need to communicate clearly about architectural and implementation decisions, and make sure that those decisions end up in the final version of the spec — not in a TODO comment in the source code of a single project.

                                                                                                                                              The first project is Emissary, the great social web application platform behind projects like Atlas and Bandwagon. Ben Pate, Emissary founder, says, “The Emissary Project is deeply committed to the Fediverse, where we are building a free and trustworthy Internet for all 8 billion humans. Delivering on that promise, Emissary is excited to team up with the Social Web Foundation to bring End-to-End-Encryption (E2EE) to the Fediverse. We are eternally grateful for the SWF’s leadership and support, without which this project could not have happened.  Our work is already underway, and in 2026 anyone will be able to build E2EE applications on the Emissary platform.”

                                                                                                                                              The second project is Bonfire. Bonfire is a modular framework for building federated apps, with its first app (Bonfire Social) offering a social networking experience enhanced with tools for privacy, trust, and collaboration (such as circles and boundaries).

                                                                                                                                              The maintainers of Bonfire, Ivan Minutillo and Mayel de Borniol, said: “We think that end-to-end encryption should simply be the default for any private communication online. Working with the Social Web Foundation to bring E2EE to ActivityPub marks a crucial step in fostering privacy and trust, and especially in enabling the fediverse to become a safe space for activists and communities to organise, coordinate, and collaborate meaningfully. By making secure, user-friendly messaging a core part of the fediverse, we’re helping lay the groundwork for decentralised networks where people can go beyond talking in the mythical ‘global town square’ and actually organise and accomplish things together.”

                                                                                                                                              This work will happen best if the Fediverse community tracks it closely. We’ll be making updates here on the SWF blog as progress continues. Developers and active users may also be interested in the ActivityPub E2EE Messaging Task Force at the W3C, where the specification is being developed into a report for the Social Web Community group. Finally, we’ll be using the #JustBetweenUs hashtag to share progress and ideas, so you can follow it to see what’s been happening.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Moderation can be hard work, especially on the Fediverse, where conversations flow in from all directions. This release introduces new tools that help you stay in control with less manual effort.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  You can now subscribe to shared blocklists and let the plugin keep them up to date automatically. Subscribed lists are synced on a weekly cadence, so changes made upstream are reflected on your site without you having to lift a finger.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  On top of that, we’ve added a bulk domain blocklist importer. You can upload a CSV or plain text file, including Mastodon-style exports, and quickly add large numbers of domains at once. To make it even easier to get started, the importer includes a one-click option for the popular community-maintained IFTAS DNI list (@about.iftas.org).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Together, these features make moderation more scalable and less stressful, so you can spend more time engaging and less time firefighting.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Reactions, Your Way

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Reactions are a big part of how conversations feel alive on the Fediverse, and now you have more control over how they appear on your site.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The Fediverse Reactions block gained a new Summary display style. Instead of showing a facepile of avatars, this option presents reactions as clean, inline counters for comments, likes, boosts, and replies. It’s a great fit for minimal layouts, feeds, or sites where avatars are disabled.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  You can switch between the classic facepile and the new summary style directly in the block settings. And if avatars are turned off in discussion settings, the block automatically falls back to the summary view.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A Sneak Peek at the Reader (Experimental)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  One more thing, for the curious among you, there’s now an early preview of the ActivityPub Reader, hidden behind a feature flag in the Advanced settings tab. If you don’t see it yet, open Screen Options at the top right of the ActivityPub settings page, check “Advanced Settings,” and save. That reveals the Advanced tab where you can enable the Reader.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  When enabled, this adds a new “Social Web” submenu to your Dashboard menu item. An place where you can read posts and shares from accounts you follow, turning your WordPress admin into a lightweight Fediverse reader.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Because this is still very much a work in progress, the Reader is disabled by default and clearly marked as experimental. The UI, behavior, and feature set will change significantly in future releases as we explore what a great native Fediverse reading experience inside WordPress could look like.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  If you enjoy testing new ideas, we’d love to hear your feedback, whether it’s bug reports, rough edges you’ve noticed, or ideas about what this Reader should become. Early input helps shape where this goes next, so feel free to share your thoughts in whatever form works best for you.

I was banned for literally saying “I’m trans.” That’s it. No arguments, no insults, no rule breaking just existing as myself. What is actually going on with the internet right now?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    On top of that, I also got banned from my favorite anime subreddit for sharing my thoughts about One Punch Man Season 3 specifically the episode with the Monster Garou encounter and saying it looked AI-generated. I wasn’t attacking anyone, I wasn’t being hostile, I was just trying to have a discussion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Right now, Reddit feels really bad to be on. Moderation feels inconsistent and overly harsh, and it honestly feels like you can get punished just for speaking openly or having an opinion. I’m not even trying to fully drag Reddit anymore because I’m exhausted from constantly calling out platforms but this crossed a line.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I’m just frustrated. Being trans shouldn’t be controversial, and having a discussion about media shouldn’t get you kicked out of a community you enjoy. At this point, it feels like being honest online is treated like a problem, and I’m really over it.

Looking at #Misskey but will take a bit to determine #IPv6 only capability. Any input from the crowd here? I don't want to host the Mastodon suite.
