Chef de Paw by Lisa S. Baker. With a look of stoic determination and culinary pride, this dapper bulldog dons a classic white chef’s hat and striped bowtie, ready to conquer the kitchen. Dressed in a vintage black-and-cream apron, he clutches his trusted utensils - whisk and spatula at the ready - as he poses against a bold striped backdrop. The charming contrast of his serious expression and playful attire brings this whimsical portrait to life, blending elegance with humor in the most delightful way.

oh fuck. that's right. bc #Threads is technically on the #Fediverse, we can talk to you here😁

you're a fascist appeasing piece of shit

you also promote threads coming to #Mastodon while minimizing mastodon going to threads

which makes sense when you are an oligarchic, sociopathic fuckboy who knows he peaked at 20

you might want to think about your legacy soon, because it's heading down the shitter very quickly, you fascist cocksucker

@peertube

i'm so happy to find you have an acct on #mastodon (but of course you do😊)

you wouldn't know this, but i (annoyingly) keep encouraging "liberal" media to start an instance on #PeerTube before the fascists kick them off #youtube. i really want "independent" media to be truly independent

i've also been looking for an instance where i can post my vids of birds, & sometimes a political rant😉, but i'm not sure how to find the right one

i only learned of you when i came to the #fediverse

I've been experimenting with lightweight activitypub tools like gotosocial and snac2.

So far snac2 works, but seems incompatible with basically every frontend I've tried.

gotosocial is more compatible, but crashes randomly and won't stay online for 24hrs at a time.

What am I doing wrong here?

Anyone have any tips?

#Eventbrite to be acquired by #BendingSpoons, following their acquisition of #Meetup.com which caused many users to migrate to Eventbrite in the first place. I think at this point it becomes very obvious that the #Fediverse is the best place to coordinate your meetups, and you have many options to choose from: #Mobilizon, #Gancio and even #Wordpress with the #ActivityPub Event Bridge plugin. Everyone knows Bending Spoon's playbook, enshittification is inevitable.

Originally created as a temporary setup to experiment with #snac, I later decided to keep it online. For about a year now, it’s been my most 'private', less technical corner. And I couldn’t be happier: it runs in a #FreeBSD jail, uses almost zero resources, and is always ready to serve me.

Danke dass du deine Erfahrungen und Eindrücke hier ehrlich mit uns teilst und zur Diskussion stellst!

Gerade in Bezug auf #Klimaschutz habe ich persönlich da eine sehr andere Nutzererfahrung bisher gemacht: Mit bspw. @rahmstorf @fff @lisapoettinger etc. sind ja viele Stimmen der deutschen Klimawissenschaft und -aktivismus hier durchaus sehr aktiv zugegen.

Welche Institutionen oder Personen vermisst du denn hier speziell? Wie würdest du ihnen das #Fediverse "pitchen" ? :)

Herzlichen Dank, @h0ldi 🙏 - es war schon ein Moment, als nach Jahrzehnten der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit plötzlich über die Psychologie der #Mimesis die #Religionswissenschaft mit dem Konzept der #Religionen und #Politikwissenschaft mit dem Konzept der #Zivilreligionen zueinander passten! 📚😳🙏

Habe daher inzwischen auch eine #Grafik zur #Medienethik & Gefahr der #Rechtsmimesis hier & auf dem #Blog ins #Fediverse gepostet: https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/files/MedienMimesisMichaelBlumeSchaubild251225-scaled.jpg

Inhalt: Deine Insel Durch deine Entscheidungen hast du eine Repräsentative Demokratie gebaut Hier wählen die Wahlberechtigten Abgeordnete und Volksvertreter:innen, die die meisten Entscheidungen für sie treffen. Wer das schlecht macht, kann abgewählt werden. Das spart Zeit - allerdings ist nicht komplett sicher, dass Volksvertreter:innen ihr Amt auch immer im Sinne ihrer Wähler:innen ausüben. Übrigens du bist nicht allein ... 1.26 % Basisdemokratie 8.45 % Repräsentative Demokratie 42.51 % Autoritäre Demokratie 39.44 % Autokratie 8.33 % Diktatur

⁂ FEDICAPE — The Making of

I got an idea! I decided to make a CAPE with the Fediverse Symbol for #39C3

Of course I got the idea SUPER LATE, I am leaving tomorrow morning at 7:00 from Sanremo.

Here is how it happened.

13:00. We were having the Christmas lunch with the whole family at my grandma’s and I was telling my cousins how INCREDIBLE Congress is, and how people go around dressed with the most insane things.

I started brewing the idea of something to make and wear myself over the afternoon, while napping at my parents’.

17:47. I call grandma D, the most expert sewer of the family.

“NONNAAA I WANNA MAKE A CAPE! Do you have any big pieces of fabric?” “No… I only have bedsheets…”

I call Nonna Gorix, who proudly calls herself my “trovarobe” (literally “things-finder”). I ask her the same thing. She tells me to come over, and we start looking in her stuff, as you see here:

I will be watching on December 25th from Thailand at 10 pm Indochina time and will make an initial post to get it started, you're welcome to post on that thread as you watch from wherever you are on this big, beautiful planet. Please tag comments with #christmaswatchparty and/or #muppetchristmascarol so that we can keep up with each other. It may also prove to be helpful to write the timestamp of the film on each comment, so that people who watch asynchronously can still enjoy their favorite parts together. Boosts welcome so that no one is left out on the holiday :)

If you wanna, take a pic of you or your environment or something cute and post, and use alt text to let us know more. But only if you want to be seen today :)

If you can post anything about it, even an explanation or introduction about sim racing or your personal connection to it and make sure to use hashtags someone will find it. I'm sure theres at least a couple other lurkers thinking exactly the same thing as you.

Failing that you could contact such people you like on other platforms and try to convince them to migrate here, in the reply are all the worst stories I have regarding proprietary social media

#Fediverse #FLOSS

Vor einem halben Jahr bin ich von Mastodon zu IceShrimp gewechselt.

Pro:
- 3.000 statt 1.000 Zeichen.
- "Unendlich" viele Bilder und Umfrageoptionen (20 oder so).
- eine kleine Dateiablage (cloud), in der hochgeladene Bilder und Dateien gtespeichert werden.
- noch ein paar neckische Funktionen (siehe Artikel auf gnulinux.ch).

Contra:
- In der Weboberfläche, egal ob am Notebook oder im mobilen Browser, bleiben ab und zu einzelne Tröts hängen, wie angeheftet, und wiederholen sich zwei-, drei-, und mehrfach; Problem dabei ist, dass neue Tröts darunter angezeigt werden, außerhalb des sichtbaren Monitorbereichs. Nervt mich massiv!
- Stummgeschaltete Begriffe funktionieren, werden aber nicht an andere Clients weitergegeben (wie zB phanpy oder elk).
- "Antennen" funktionieren nicht, oder ich mache etwas falsch.

Überlege daher, meinen Zweit-Account auf akkoma zum Haupt-Account zu machen.
Die Software ist, gegenüber IceShrimp, deutlich abgespeckter, dafür hätte ich da 5.000 Zeichen zur Verfügung.
Muss mal die mobile Oberfläche testen.

#IceShrimp #Akkoma #FediVerse

There is a language general setting where you can define which languages you want to read primarily in #Mastodon.

The problem is: nobody cares! Nobody seems to set up their account properly and tell which language they are using.

The result: the language filter doesn't work, and the stream is crowded with so many people writing in languages one can't read.

I am looking at you, east-asian accounts flooding the #fediverse!

It's no fun at all ...

@BlumeEvolution deine, bei #Bluesky schließlich lediglich gebridgten Threads gehen btw auch dort ziemlich steil.

Habe es auch nur mitbekommen, weil mir dort jemand OHNE Fediverse-Bridge auf einen DruKo geantwortet hat und ich darüber dann hier benachrichtigt wurde.

Vielleicht mal so als Denkanstoß an jene, die "wegen der #Reichweite" andersrum verfahren und von Bluesky aus bridgen – wenn überhaupt!

Ergo: wenn im #Fediverse "die Musik gespielt" wird, wird es auch immer relevanter.

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.

Loops becoming the 3rd most active fediverse platform after Mastodon and Pixelfed in 2026.

▶️ Loops will become the third most-used Fediverse software by MAU by end of 2026, trailing only Mastodon and Pixelfed. The short-form video platform will cross 100,000 monthly active users, with Loops-originated content generating significant federated engagement from non-Loops clients — proving that ActivityPub can power video-centric social experiences.

🎄☃️Merry Christmas☃️🎄

To all of my #ansi #ascii #chiptune #tracker #textmode #retrocomputing and #bbs brethren and everyone else in the #fediverse

I hope everyone has an amazing time with family, friends and anyone else you cross paths with.

Guten Morgen #Fediverse. Allen ein frohes Weihnachtsfest gewünscht!

Good Morning everyone and I wish all of you merry Christmas.

@BlumeEvolution Das ist sicherlich ein sehr großer Faktor, der unsere Situation in ihrer politischen Reaktion gut erklärt. 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.

Embora eu já esteja no Fediverso desde o ano passado, 2025 foi o ano que consegui de uma vez por todas sair do X/Twitter e focar somente aqui, e tem sido incrível.

Pro ano que vem, o objetivo é excluir ou ao menos parar de utilizar mais uma ou duas redes das big techs. #fediverse #mastodon

Does anyone here also use TikTok?

If so, is the Fediverse still discussed over there?

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?

#AskFedi #Fediverse #TikTok #TikTokRefugees #SocialMedia

Ich muss einfach mal loswerden, dass ich mich bisher auf keiner Social Media Plattform so wohl gefühlt hab, wie hier. Hier fühlt es sich wenig synthetisch an, es gibt viel mehr Interaktion und viel weniger Selbstdarsteller.
Danke an alle 😊

Got myself a couple of #Mastodon badges.

"Live, laugh, federate" and a Mastodon logo badge.

I'm really getting to love it here now.

#fediverse

@sarah Oh yeah there is at least one fediverse trans group on simplex because I was invited to it

#SimpleX #Trans #Fediverse

@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

@EUCommission Hey EU Commission! Can you throw some of our tax euros at #Fediverse open source development projects?

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?

We’ve got the products you want right here. Just support the people building them!!

I'd focus to support small and efficient alternative servers like #snac2 that would really benefit the #fediverse diversity and distribution

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.

LinkDing

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.

Wallabag

Wanna read an article later in a distraction free interface? Use Wallabag!

FreshRSS

This is my default RSS-Reader. Rock solid, self-hosted RSS fetcher.

Forgejo

Quitely serving all my public & private git repos. Simple, elegant, robust. Don’t need more

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.

🌅 Lighthouse Lore — Morning Watch

At first light, the Lighthouse doesn’t shout.
It checks the logs.
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.

#LighthouseLore #QuietTech #DigitalStewardship #SelfHosting #Fediverse

What I do love about #Mastodon and the greater #Fediverse, by the way, are the personalities. There *is* a culture here.

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 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.

A tall sign for "Roaster's Coffee & Tea" with a red "Drive Thru" label, against a blue sky with power lines and a parking lot in the background.

Big Tech platforms routinely censor any mention of the #fediverse, so I've started designing, printing, and placing these stickers around town.

No idea if they get any scans, but I figure simply getting the word "fediverse" out there might raise the consciousness a little.

Any ideas for slogans that might pique the interest of facebook-addicted normies?

#activitypub #socialmedia #mastodon #enshittification #facebook

Three small white stickers each with qr code and the following black text, respectively: "Big tech thinks you're stupid. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "cats not capitalism. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "Anarchy not Algorithms Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net"

Mid-afternoon it is.

#Introduction

Hi, I’m s4if. I’ve been a long-time #fediverse user (first onboarded in late 2022). This is my new instance… my old one was [at]me[at]fd.s4if.dev. I usually post in English and Indonesian, and mostly talk about #Linux, #programming, and random things.

Nice to meet you again.. :)

A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

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.

Cinnamon Roll Delight II by Lisa S. Baker offers a softer, more airy interpretation of the cinnamon roll motif, featuring sweeping circular forms and creamy whites layered with warm browns, toasted orange, and subtle hints of spice. The loose, expressive brushwork creates a sense of gentle motion, evoking warmth, comfort, and the simple pleasure of slow mornings.

so, i realize that no one has read or listened to my rant on Dem messaging, but this is very important to me

i want to learn more about #PeerTube

from what i understand, the "instances" there are even more precious than #mastodon bc someone has to host all that #video content

as much as i would 💙 to post my (many) #pigeon videos or expand my political repertoire, i don't want to do it on #youtube

i would appreciate any advice people of #mastodon or #fediverse can offer💙

Sunset Burro by Lisa S Baker A gentle burro stands in the glow of a radiant evening sky, its soft features highlighted by rich strokes of indigo, violet, rose, and warm gold. The textured brushwork gives the piece a painterly depth, while the colorful sunset backdrop adds a sense of peace, personality, and quiet charm. This expressive portrait captures the burro's humble spirit in a modern, vibrant way - perfect for western décor, animal lovers, or anyone who enjoys artwork filled with color and heart.

Shortest day of the year.
The light barely rises, the dark lingers longer than invited.

But lighthouses were never built for easy days.
They exist for the long nights, the rough seas, the moments when direction matters most.

The light is on.
It always is.

#LighthouseLore #WinterSolstice #ShortestDay #KeepTheLightOn #IndieWeb #Fediverse #SelfHosting

@junior A lot of years ago I heard about some decentralized Web 3.0 services like Diaspora and even touched them — but there were no interesting things to read and no interesting people to subscribe, so I continued to use Twitter and other centralized platforms.

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: https://vas3k.blog/blog/unstoppable_web/

Thusly, I started to think about #Mastodon 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 ). 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.

I already know @stefano and know about mastodon.bsd.cafe instance and as for BSD user — my next step was obvious

Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.

Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate

Threads is putting their fediverse integration on maintenance mode after it has seen very little use, signalling the end to a tumultuous period for the fediverse. Zuckerberg's belief in decentralised social networking, saying in 2023 that he "has always believed in this stuff", might not be so strong after all

I need your help to improve the developer experience (DevX) of #badgefed. #fediverse #askfedi #mastodon #activitypub

There is a Fediverse alternative to #Substack called #Ghost.

Ghost is now compatible with the Fediverse. It's not just a feed, Ghost-powered sites can take part in discussions with Mastodon etc accounts, the follows work in both directions etc.

There's a guide to using Ghost-powered sites on the Fediverse here:
