I finally published the FitPub Helm chart on Artifact Hub! 🎉

Huge thanks to @McPringle for @fitpub - I'm genuinely inspired by the project.

Tested it locally today, and I'm planning to deploy on Infomaniak KaaS. My goal is to make self-hosting FitPub simpler, so I packed in plenty of quick-start commands and solid docs.

That's why I was quiet on Codeberg this weekend 😅

Weil ich hier immer wieder mal lese, dass manchen FedinautINNEN das #Fediverse zu weit links und/oder zu grün wäre:

Nein, das ist es nicht. Der Teil des Fediverse, in dem ihr euch aufhaltet, der ist eher links/grün und hier sind auch gemäßigte Konservative unterwegs.

Ihr wollt es weiter rechts? Dann wechselt auf eine andere Instanz außerhalb dieses Teils des Fediverse. Sucht euch eine Instanz die weiter rechts ist.
Wie ihr die findet? Schaut mal von einigen der hiesigen Instanzen die Liste der geblockten Instanzen durch. Die, die geblockt sind wegen Rasissmus oder Faschismus sind dann die potentiellen Kandidaten für euer neues Fediverse Konto. Dort müsst ihr uns auch nicht mehr ertragen. Aber jammert dann nicht rum, dass im Fediverse ja nur Nazis sind.

Last night I thought I was Fediversly-savvy enough to consolidate all four accounts to only two and merge/move all the people to the new two accounts. But apparently, I was NOT Fediversly-savvy enough 😅

Not sure what did, but none of the people was successfully moved and another two accounts were deleted in the process. By then it was way after 2 a.m.

So, I guess this is me RE-introduced myself 😂 to the #Fediverse system!
(3/3)

I have been on #Fediverse for about a little bit over a year and a half now.

After about three weeks over at #Bluesky, I decided to set myself up with a #Mastodon and a #Pixelfed account despite felt technically intimidated by the whole Fediverse thing. And I’m glad I went for it—enjoy the vibes, the different communities, especially the #Wordle community, and the people!!!

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.

I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

Reading a thread about ideas for a Fedi Dating platform and worrying that Fediverse will just become the same lonely addicting shit it's trying to resist against.

I'm not sure we need to emulate every single platform that exists.

What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.

I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.

It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.

I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

The importance of federated social media should not be underestimated. The concept of data sovereignty offers users the opportunity to break free from Big Tech corporations. The ActivePub integration also provides content creators, such as freelancers, musicians, artists and journalists, with a global reach. So, I highly recommend joining Loops Video!

If the fediverse wants people to come, we need to build features like this they want.

Metrics are vain, but for organizations and even government, this gives them more insight into their account and reach.

We can do this ethically, and really need to, if we don't want the fediverse and social web to become stagnant.

Meine Position befindet sich zwischen Euch beiden: Ja, nach längeren Friedensphasen breitet sich in liberalen Demokratien das Präventionsparadox und Anspruchsdenken aus. Forderungen an den Staat werden erhöht, Steuern & Einschränkungen häufiger abgelehnt.

Mit der post-fossilen Energiewende kommt jedoch m.E. der massive Faktor hinzu, dass Fossilisten in Konzernen, Politik & Medien Wissenschaft und Demokratien attackieren, um länger aus der #Karbonblase Profite zu ziehen.

Nehmt dann noch die digitalen Medienrevolutionen hinzu - und es wird m.E. klar, warum der liberale Fortschrittsglauben zerfällt…

So I usually hate sending over bluesky links anywhere since I'm not a fan, but Rob Ricci highlights some important distinctions between #activitypub and #atproto

Fundamentally, activitypub is designed to be useful with a partial view of the network. (Narrowing down to #mastodon here) Likes are communicated, mentions are communicated, and so on.

Over at atproto land, you have no option but to write to your repo, and so you have no choice but to view the entire network to say, find replies and such (narrowing to #bluesky here). So the only way you can get your data is to read the network and filter it yourself, or have someone else do it for you, which doesn't solve the problem, only shift it.

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

Happy Second Birthday to my little miracle girl ❤️

Exactly one year ago today I was preparing to say goodbye to her. My 12-year-old dachshund had her first severe syncope episode. Her heart rate went over 200, and several times she completely lost her pulse.

I spent that entire weekend doing CPR on her, genuinely believing she wouldn't survive until Monday.

She's been living with dilated cardiomyopathy for seven years. On Monday the vet was honest with me - either euthanize her at the clinic or take her home and let her pass surrounded by her family.

I chose the second option. I wanted her last moments to be in a place she knew and loved.

I monitored her breathing and heart rate every 30 minutes, kept a diary, gave her all the medication, and even syringe-fed her water.
A few more times I thought I had lost her.

But slowly, stubbornly, she started coming back. She began to stand, then walk, then eat again. Her numbers stabilized.

And today - exactly one year after the day I almost let her go — she’s now 13 years old, running around the house, playing, and acting like her old self.

This photo was taken today while we celebrated her "second birthday".

I'm incredibly grateful she gave me one more year. I hope we get many more.

Bei Instagram haben wir jetzt bekannt gegeben, dass wir die Plattform nicht mehr aktiv nutzen werden. Vor allem weil wir durch den Algorithmus dort quasi unsichtbar geworden sind.

So sehr ich das #Fediverse als Technologie liebe, bin ich der festen Überzeugung, dass die Föderation es schwer macht Gleichgesinnte zu finden.

Mein Gedanke zum Thema:
Das dezentrale System bringt das Problem mit sich, dass es keine zentrale Anlaufstelle gibt. Vorteile gibt es natürlich genügend, doch dieser Nachteil ist die - meiner Meinung nach - derzeitig größte Schwachstelle des Fediverses.

Irgendwo möchte man hier ja auch Leute erreichen, und ich spreche nicht davon, Influencer zu werden. Wenn man keine Interaktion möchte, würde ein Tagebuch ja auch ausreichen. Sicherlich möchte man irgendwo gelesen werden oder anderen Leuten mit seinen Bildern eine Freude bereiten.

Wir sind hier in tausend verschiedenen Ecken verteilt - auf verschiedenen Fediverse-Plattformen unterwegs, auf unterschiedlichen Instanzen - das, wofür das Fediverse immer angepriesen wird. Und sind wir mal ehrlich, wir Admins kochen irgendwo alle unser eigenes Süppchen, auch wenn man einfach einem vorhanden Server beitreten hätte können.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, nicht voneinander zu erfahren, wenn uns niemand "einander vorstellt", sei es über Boosts oder Erwähnungen. Ich selber folge keinen Accounts, die ohne Zusammenhang alles boosten, was sie toll finden. Wir Menschen sind verdammt vielschichtig. Während ich Thema A, B und C toll finde, boostet jemand dem ich folge Zeug zu den Themen C, D und E. Mit anderen Worten: Ein drittel der Boosts interessieren mich... und der Rest ist mir Schnuppe. Die Timeline ist dann nicht mehr "auf mich zugeschnitten", wie ich sie haben möchte, abgesehen davon, dass ich Thema E verabscheue. Daraus folgt, die Boosts der Person stummzuschalten... oder Hashtags stummschalten, die nicht zuverlässig verwendet werden? Wörter stummschalten? Diese Wörter könnten ja auch spontan für einen Witz verwendet werden - einen Witz, den man dann doch gerne gelesen hätte.

Wir haben hier noch keine zuverlässige Methode, einen Post zu einem bestimmten Thema über zumindest einen Großteil des Fediverses zu transportieren.

Lemmy unterstützt Communitys, welche für Nicht-Lemmy-Nutzer ein einfacher Fediverse-Account ist, der deinen Post boostet, wenn du ihn in deinem Post erwähnst. Ich war am überlegen eine Lemmy Instanz aufzumachen, nur um diese Communitys / Gruppen zu erstellen. Doch wer würde das schon nutzen, außer mir? Ich wäre erneut ein Admin, der sein eigenes Süppchen kocht.

Ich zerbreche mir den Kopf darüber, das Fediverse mit den vorhandenen Tools miteinander besser zu verknüpfen wie Lemmy Communitys, dessen Instanz keinem einzigen Admin gehört. Das Konzept dieser Lemmy Communitys ist großartig und Fediverse kompatibel. Diese Boost-Accounts gibt es ja bereits länger, doch ich sehe nicht, dass diese auch aktiv von Nutzern verwendet werden. Wenn dieser Account automatisch Hashtags boostet, landet nicht selten ziemlich viel Schrott in der Timeline.

Was könnte man da also machen?

@Lorker ein wichtiger erster Tipp waere mal Hashtags zu nutzen. Danach gezielt auf deine Blase zugehen und interagieren.

Du bist seit 4 Monaten hier und folgst auch relativ wenigen Konten. Ich denke da kommt so einiges zusammen.

Maximale Reichweite wirst du hier niemals erreichen. Das war auch nie die Idee des #Fediverse

⚠️ OVH Local Zone Zurich outage (~4h)

My VPS in OVH’s Zurich Local Zone (where this Mastodon instance lives) was completely unreachable for about 4 hours yesterday.

No status page updates, no incident notice, nothing from OVH (so typical).

From my side it looked like a clean Layer 3 issue - pings to the VPS returned Destination Host Unreachable from their ToR router inside the zone:
localzone-zrh-zur1-tor2-as4210011009.ch.eu (57.128.121.83)

Monitoring graph for the last 24h is attached.

Uptime monitoring dashboard for the last 24 hours. Large text shows “82.73% UPTIME”. A thin horizontal bar is mostly green with a distinct red segment in the middle indicating downtime. Below it, “0.82 APDEX (1.0)” with a row of small colored boxes showing hourly scores: mostly bright green at 1.0, but with a clear drop to 0.29, then several 0 values, and 0.62 (in red/pink) during the outage window around 16:00–20:00. Time labels on the x-axis go from 12h to 10h (next day). The red elements align with the OVH Zurich Local Zone outage.

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116776972203072635

Seeing the comments under this post is wildly discouraging. I left twitter precisely because of this type of pile-on holier-than-thou behavior.

The commission is present across a multitude of social networks including the Fediverse (where their presence is growing), #Wsocial (ATproto), and other proprietary non-federated social media sites.

Do the commenters here really believe that their comments are advancing the interests of the #Fediverse or Open Source ?

How does Nostr compare to Mastodon? Can the two be bridged?

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of fediverse developers do not want millions of users, they are designing their software carefully for them and people like them.

I'm a dreamer, and love to think bigger, and build platforms with millions and even billions of people.

Both types of devs and projects can thrive, because we give the people control and power.

That is what matters, nobody can control this, not even me or mastodon.social

The protocol is the true power.

Three panel comic, titled "Probably not how it works". First panel: A woman holds hands with a small boy wearing a baseball cap and a t-shirt with the Apple logo. Boy says "Mommy what's Fediverse?", while pointing at the Fediverse logo. Second panel: Mother says "Don't look at them, Ricky. I don't want you to be influenced by... Oh God no" Third panel: Mother says "Rickyyy". Son says "It is too late, mother I have seen everything". The son is now sparkly, and wearing colorful clothes and heart shaped classes. His pink vest now says: "No to AI", "No to Big Tech", and "Tax the rich". It also has the Palestinian flag, an Antifa patch, and the Linux penguin logo. (Original comic credit: Extra Fabulous Comics. It has been lightly adapted.)

What do you think of the following as an introduction to the #Fediverse ?

"More than half of the world’s population are estimated to use social media in one form or another. However, the current state of social media leaves much to be desired. The richest man in the world uses the platforms he owns to openly support racism and fascism. The others are hardly better – they flood users’ feed with posts that are sure to upset them, in order to trigger responses and thus increase “engagement” and ad revenue.

Try out the following experiment: Open up the social media account of your choice, and scroll down your feed. How many of the posts you see are from:

- Advertisers,
- huge media conglomerates,
- or people whose views are abhorrent to you?

And what percentage of posts are from people you actually made the choice to follow?

None of this is an accident. Your online friends are nothing more than the hook that keep you on the platform, and your mutual presence ensure that you stay there – even as the user experience gets worse and worse. Everything else you see is either shown to keep you engaged – even if “engagement” means getting rage-baited by horrible people – or designed to extract money from you and the organizations who place their adds there.

But there is an alternative to the commercial platforms, their algorithms, and their hidden and not-so-hidden agendas: The Fediverse."

I love that on the regular internet, you can be like "I need to find out what part this is on my 2025 car" and all the results you get back are for car rentals, people trying to sell you a car, trying to buy your car, or AI slop videos explaining to you what a car is in the least intelligible way possible.

But... in the #Fediverse you can be like "anybody know the correct wiring layout and voltages for a 1974 "Passion-o-Meter" novelty Love Tester from Hanlon Amusements in Fairbanks, Alabama? I found one while doing recreational free diving in a cave system in Peru and I'm trying to put it back together again" and not only does NOBODY question any part of the insane statement made, but three people who happen to specialize in that exact sort of thing immediately emerge from the woodwork like the reverse of Homer Simpson going into the hedge.

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".

A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.

If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.

When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?

The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.

They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?

If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.

You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.

The concentration of power in Silicon Valley happened partly because we let it. We accepted a few platforms as inevitable. We built our communities there because that’s where everyone was. It wasn’t because their technology is better. It was a choice—made again and again by the people on those platforms, by investors, and by policymakers.

A different choice is possible, but it requires that those of us building alternatives actually believe what we say about cooperation. It means assuming good faith from people building different projects. It means investing in infrastructure that doesn’t benefit us alone.

We, the builders of the open social web, are the only ones who can make that choice.

It starts with deciding that our mission matters more than winning alone.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to migrate mail services OFF NameCheap? Namely their Jellyfish/MS Outlook365 integration thingy cleanly?

Someone I know asked me about this and I'm unsure how to migrate mail off of NameCheap but they still want to retain the Microsoft stuff.

Migrating off of Microsoft is not really an option for them (their business requires it). Any ideas?

Please boost if possible. Thanks so much #fediverse !
