I make a bit of fun of the #Fediverse because it sucks in many interesting ways but don't get me wrong, it's still the best place to be.

Did you know over at #Bluesky you can't even edit your 300 character posts yet, and there are no polls?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@iwritelike/116393843658018750

Which word would you use to refer to yourself? "I", presumably, in the singular. And how about you and a group of people? "We", of course, in the plural.

But how about you and one other person?

In modern English, there is no word for that. You would probably just use "we" or "the two of us".

But more than 1,000 years ago, you would have said: "wit".

This term, once also used affectionately to describe the closeness between two people, is one of many personal pronouns that have been lost or transformed amid huge social and political change over the centuries. The English language has become simplified – but at times this has left gaps, creating confusion.

"Wit" means "we two" in Old English, a Germanic language spoken in England until about the 12th Century, which evolved into the English we speak today. Now completely lost, "wit" was part of an extinct group of pronouns used for exactly two people: the dual form, which also includes "uncer" or "unker" ("our" for two people) and "git" ("you two"). That dual form vanished from the English language around the 13th Century.

Centralized and corporate-owned social media hurts Native communities

Tech billionaires do not care about us; for them, our communities only serve to be exploited for capital gain... They’ve revolutionized the art of cultural appropriation, making algorithms that can steal Native art and use it without consent much faster than was ever before possible.

Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments

FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page
(Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright. Odysee's new video player at least has a darker background for those buttons)

RE: https://loops.video/v/eSlCXSXZSV

I am trying to follow some loops profiles here on mastodon, but not all posts appear in the timeline of the @velichor on mastodon (for example, I had to search this message by its url that I found on loops.video). Why?

#fediverse #loops #shortvideo

es nur im den Klick geht.

Du fühlst dich von dem geschriebenen getriggert und möchtest dem Reflex nachgeben auf mich einzuprügeln. Dann bist du wahrscheinlich genau damit gemeint, wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst. Dann bist du wahrscheinlich Teil des Problems.
Gib mal zur Abwechslung deinem Reflex nicht nach, sondern denke statt dessen nach. Lass das Geschriebene mal wirken.
Verurteile es nicht sondern beurteile es. Bewerte es mal neutral. Gehe mal in dich. Lehn dich zurück, chill mal eine Runde und schlaf mal eine Nacht drüber. Beobachte mal mit ein wenig Abstand das ganze Treiben.
Dan wirst auch du sicherlich merken: Das #Fediverse ist am Ende auch nur ein Social Media Netzwerk wie jedes Andere. Anders, aber nicht wirklich besser.

In dem Sinne wünsche ich euch einen schönen Sonntag. (3/3)

Schweigen zu bringen ist nicht besser als die ganzen Nazis, die das Tag täglich versuchen.

Und auch im #Fediverse herrscht die Empörungskultur. Auch da unterscheidet es sich nicht von den anderen Social Media Netzwerken. Auch hier werden Menschen sofort, ohne nachzudenken, verurteilt für das was sie schreiben. Verurteilt ohne Vorgeschichten, Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge zu kennen. Verurteilt, indem man in Geschriebenes einfach etwas hinein dichtet, ohne das es geschrieben worden ist. Es ist wichtiger den Empörungsreflex zu befriedigen, als den Menschen zu verstehen. Oder es wenigstens zu versuchen. Aufschrei ist das worum es geht. Empörung. Laut sein. Und wenn man es dann schafft, dass andere mit einstimmen, umso besser. Dann kann man ja so falsch nicht gelegen haben, oder?
Das einzige, was hier im Fediverse besser ist: Es gibt hier keine Algorithmen, die diese Berufsempörer auch noch verstärken. Ihnen auch noch Reichweite geben, wie in den BigTech Social Media Netzwerken, wo (2/3)

Mal ein Gedanke zum #Fediverse
Wir wollen hier gerne das andere, das bessere Social Media Netzwerk sein. Aber ist das so?
Ich denke nein. Anders? Ja! Besser? Nein.
Was hier anders ist, ist dass es die Faschisten und Nazis bisher nicht schaffen hier Fuß zu fassen. Und das ist wirklich gut.
Aber warum ist es dann nicht besser?
Weil es am Ende hier eben doch genauso läuft wie in den anderen Social Media Netzwerken auch.
Meinungen werden hier versucht zu unterdrücken. Das ist mir in den letzten 5 Wochen ziemlich deutlich geworden. Menschen mit anderer Meinung versucht man hier genauso mundtot zu machen wie in anderen Netzwerken auch. ANDERE Meinung! Nicht ungesetzlich oder faschistisch. Nur anders. Unangenehm, ja. Aber nicht mehr. Meinungsfreiheit ist manchmal schwer auszuhalten. Das geht mir auch so. Aber solange nix verbreitet wird was gegen geltendes Recht verstößt oder bewusst gelogen ist, ist es eben genau das, was es ist. Meinungsfreiheit. Wer versucht solche Menschen zum (1/3)

Dear #fediverse,

Just about as soon as I started doing this, I made sure to note in my bio that I use a locally-running #LLM to generate my #altText, which I then proofread, to weed out the redundancies and hallucinations.

Someone in a chat room has taken it upon themselves to convince me that I "don't need" to use #qwen, and that short descriptions are "enough."

How do y'all feel I should proceed?

Auch auf #Mastodon & im #Fediverse , so dass auch linke #Intoleranz zur mangelnden Verbreitung von #FOSS beiträgt.

Well I actually got some sleep last night so I think it’s time for another round of albums of the year as chosen by users of the #Fediverse blog post. The previous years links are all consolidated here https://hailsandales.com/posts/albums-of-the-year-as-chosen-by-users-of-the-fediverse-consolidated-links.

This time round I want your favourite album from 1982. Let’s have it!

Vor längerem habe ich mal geschrieben, dass die Lösung der Probleme in einem dezentralen Netz nicht Zentralität die Lösung ist – und auch nicht Funktionen, die wir aus zentralistischen Netzwerken übernehmen, die dort zur Lösung Ihrer zentralistischen Probleme eingeführt wurden –, sondern ein Gemeinschaftsaspekt jenseits der technischen Gegebenheiten zur Verbesserung führt. Dazu würde aber auch gehören, dass Projekte nicht nur sich selbst und die Erfahrung der eigenen Nutzer*innen fokussieren, sondern vor allem den Blick nach außen wenden: „Wie ist die Erfahrung der Funktionen bei Nutzer*innen anderer Projekte?“ Wenn man sich darauf einigen könnte, würde es dem Fediverse als Ganzes helfen und es voran bringen.

If you are on #pixelfed I very much recommend using #pixelix as it is a much better #foss experience. It is also one of the most intriguing open-source app on #android that I have ever looked at. You can get it for free if via #github or #fdroid but you will have to purchase the app if you want it from #google #playstore

#tech #fediverse

Is there a #pixelfed instance that allows files bigger than 15MB? That size is ok(ish) for still images, but even short videos with medium quality can easily be bigger than 15MB. Maybe a #motiongraphics or #DigitalArt themed instance has a higher file size limit, but I didn't find any in the official server list.

Vereinzelt machen Retweets schon Sinn. Aber mir fiel auf, dass ich bei einem Großteil der Accounts, denen ich folge, die RTs deaktiviert habe.
Der Hintergrund ist einfach: ich folge Accounts nicht, damit sie mir Inhalte von Accounts in die TL spülen, denen ich nicht folge.
Es gibt den zurückhaltenden Einsatz, wo mal ein interessantes Thema gepostet wird, und dann den Stakkato Einsatz, wo die Funktion missbraucht wird, um die Föderation (auf Kosten der eigenen Follower) aufzubauen.

I use #pixelix for my Android #pixelfed client as I feel very uncomfortable with pixelfed app that is very janky, slow, and lots of questionable UI/UX design.

Including, but not limited to:
1. "Back" button does not close the app. Rather, it takes to previous pages when it is unnecessary.
2. Cannot see the list of profiles that like a post. Pixelix has this feature.
3. Every press of a button feels like it's loading a whole new page, adding to the slow navigation.

I've been thinking a lot about the #Fediverse ALT issue.

Some people are annoyed by posts without #Alttext, & others get reminded¹ to add it.

The core question is: How can we improve #accessibility?

Proposal:
☑️ Add a user filter to hide media posts without #AltTag
☑️ Reduced engagement on hidden posts would encourage adding #Alt text
☑️ People who need accessibility wouldn't have to encounter unlabeled media

If this gets traction, I'll open a #Mastodon GitHub issue.

I finally defeated the final boss of my backup migration to Proton Drive.

For months, I have been trying to sync my 500GB media library (around 80k files) to Proton Drive. Every single time, the sync crashed with the exact same error: "1 item failed to backup." The only clue I had was a blurry thumbnail named "Asset 1". No date, no metadata, no search tags.

I was so frustrated that I even asked Proton support to completely wipe my encrypted volume so I could start from scratch. The result was exactly the same.

Finding this file became a manual protocol. I spent months periodically scanning through thousands of files just looking for a visual match to that tiny thumbnail. I finally found it today. It was an old scan from 2017. It was completely frozen - uneditable, unindexed, and gave an error when I tried to export it from my phone.

I managed to track it down via macOS. When I forced an export there, the truth came out: it was not an image at all. It was a .pdf file somehow saved into the photo gallery, and it was silently breaking the entire upload queue.

Removing it fixed everything. The sync is finally 100% complete. The relief of finally closing this mental background process is unmatched.

Something many bands, clubs & promoters understand wrong about the Fediverse:⁣
There is no algorithm!

So here are some tips which make your Fediverse life hopefully a little bit more successful.

If you post a concert 2 weeks before the event, people will only see it around the time you post it.
- On Mastodon and where you can quote: make your event post quotable and quote your own event regua
- use hashtags. Not only in the original post, but also in the quote post. Some people follow them, some hashtags are auto-reposted like #punk
- use pictures for a post. If you want that Pixelfed user see your post too, an image is needed.

- On Pixelfed and others where you can't quote: repost your event regularly. Maybe make more than one post with different images

- If you are playing with other bands, have a look if they are already in the Fediverse. If yes, link them in your post.
Search for it. Or the club you play.... A great starting point here is https://fedi.punk.guide - @FediPunkGuide

- is your account on the for you best instance? If you are a metal band, maybe think about switching to https://metalhead.club - I'm pretty sure @thomas will welcome you with open arms
If you are in a punk band, maybe think about joining https://punk.photos (Pixelfed) or https://punkstodon.de (Mastodon).
But there are a lot more punk instances. We list some of them on https://punx.social please have a look.
If your club is in Berlin, maybe https://berlin.social is a good place? And Cologne clubs will make find a lot of locals at https://social.cologne and so on. The easiest way to find it, is searching for it on https://fedidb.com
You can always switch instances and take all your followers with you.

Follow accounts like @FediTips to get great tips about the Fediverse. When you used FB, Twitter or Insta the first time, you also had to get used to it.

Feel free to add more tipps to this post...

Direkt daneben liegt ein schwarzer Rucksack mit einem hellblauen Schulterpolster auf der Couch. Vor der Sitzgruppe stehen zwei niedrige, runde Beistelltische mit spiegelnden Oberflächen in Gold- und Brauntönen. ​Die Architektur: Der Raum ist sehr weitläufig und besticht durch hochwertige Materialien. Der Boden besteht aus hochglanzpoliertem, grau-weiß marmoriertem Stein, in dem sich die Möbel und das Licht spiegeln. Massive Säulen mit grauer Marmorverkleidung und dunkle Holzelemente an den Wänden und Decken unterstreichen das elegante Ambiente. ​Der Hintergrund: Im hinteren Bereich erkennt man eine Bar oder einen Empfangstresen mit Barhockern sowie ein hohes Regal. Große Fensterfronten lassen viel Tageslicht herein und geben den Blick auf eine begrünte Außenanlage frei. An der Wand links hängt ein großformatiges, abstraktes Kunstwerk in Schwarz-Weiß.

Filters are a powerful feature here on Mastodon (not too sure about other fediverse platforms!), but they can definitely be made even more useful.

Something like this https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9177 would be great for making "filter starter packs", for example "News Filters" with common news-related hashtags, keywords, and popular news site domains.

@Hi_Kitsune The UI/UX of social media in general leaves a lot to be desired, and it is difficult to understate the potential for addiction to the "attention economy" even on freedom-respecting #fediverse communities. There are psychological and societal issues at play across social media, including profile stalking, encouragement to post "thirst traps" or "rage bait", as well as "slot machine" timelines that facilitate mindless "doomscrolling"... to name a few issues that go beyond #tech stack.

Well, my friends were right about this server. I guess might joined without looking up infos about the server that I am using

Fediverse-Sprechstunde
Termin schon mal vormerken: Montag, 27.04.2026 - 19:30 Uhr
Thema: Instanzen – Instanzen verstehen & selbst betreiben

Was genau ist eigentlich eine „Instanz“ im Fediverse – und warum ist sie das Herzstück von Plattformen wie Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla oder Sharkey?

In dieser Sprechstunde werfen wir einen verständlichen und praxisnahen Blick auf die Funktionsweise von Instanzen – unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anwendung. Du erfährst, welche Rolle sie im dezentralen Netzwerk spielen, wie sie miteinander kommunizieren und welche Unterschiede es zwischen öffentlichen, privaten und themenspezifischen Instanzen gibt.

Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Betrieb einer eigenen Instanz:

• Welche technischen und organisatorischen Voraussetzungen braucht es?
• Worauf sollte man bei Sicherheit, Wartung und Moderation achten?
• Für wen lohnt sich eine eigene Instanz überhaupt?

Abgerundet wird das Ganze durch einen Erfahrungsbericht aus der Praxis: Vom ersten Setup über typische Stolpersteine bis hin zu wertvollen Tipps für den laufenden Betrieb.

Egal ob du einfach nur neugierig bist, tiefer einsteigen möchtest oder mit dem Gedanken spielst, selbst eine Instanz zu betreiben – diese Sprechstunde bietet dir einen fundierten Einstieg und echte Einblicke.

Fediverse reply by depraved anonymous Zionist hasbara account: Calderon @Calderon@infosec.exchange 13m @aral ANTONS L BELSE ANTIZIONIST LIBELS NARRATIVE VIOLENCE "COLONIZER" NOUN Frames Israeli Jews as foreign intruders by drawing on Nazi-Soviet propaganda that casts Jews as "alien intruders" or symbols of "Western imperialism." "APARTHEID" ADJECTIVE Appropriates the moral prestige of South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle to recycle older anti-Judaic canards of Jews being inherently "exclusive," "chosen," or supremacist. "GENOCIDE" VERB Reworks Western settler-colonial discourse to redefine genocide from an intent-based crime into a permanent "structure" or "process," casting Israel's existence itself as genocidal.

Ich bin nun seit über 7 Jahren hier im #Fediverse (hauptsächlich mit #Mastodon und #Pixelfed) unterwegs.

Wer heute noch behauptet, man bekomme hier nicht alle Infos, News, Schlagzeilen, etc. genug schnell mit, folgt entweder den falschen Accounts, hat sich in seiner eigenen Instanz oder seiner kleinen Bubble eingeschlossen, oder lebt sonst irgendwie hinter dem Mond...

Ich werde immer wieder mal gefragt: "Wo hast du das her? Wieso weisst du das? Hast du mir den Link dazu?"

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While browsing the Fediverse today it appears most people here have never tried to pick up a duck or swan. Like, not even once during their childhood.

Some people say they've not even touched a living chicken!

My hypothesis is that people here get upset about whatever hypothesis I present so I'll shutup on this.

Have you try pick up a duck or swan?

Please boost for scientific accuracy (or don't, it's your choice, that #science for you!)

#followerPower needed, stellt euch vor:

Ihr seid neu auf #Mastodon. Ihr kennt zwar konventionelle Social Media, aber noch nicht so ganz das #Fediverse. Ihr seid Wissenschaftler:innen an einer dt. Uni.

Was muss ein Workshop leisten, damit ihr befähigt seid, auf Mastodon #Wissenschaftskommunikation betreiben zu können und wollen?

here it goes:

what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Dear Fedi friends,

Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).

I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).

I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.

Merci beaucoup ❤️
