It took a bite more time than initially expected but @grunfink@comam.es indeed made some great and clever ideas when creating snac. The function for attributes and tags in his C functions are a great idea and simplify it. I guess, I simply had added them statically... However, a preview is available right here (as said, still not perfect, more to be done soon):

Jokainen voi valita oman tapansa vuorovaikuttaa somen kanssa ja silti seurata tyyppejä, jotka vuorovaikuttaa toisella tavalla: jos tykkäät julkaista kuvia -> pixelfed voi olla sun juttu; jos tykkäät tekstistä -> mastodon voi olla sun juttu; videoita -> peertube jne. Ainoa heikkous tässä on, ettei pixelfed näytä pelkkää tekstiä. Peertubesta ei oo vielä omakohtaisia kokemuksia.

                                                          We believe that, because of our charity status, we can help organisations escape the traps of for-profit social media and understand the benefits of the Open Social Web. Joining in the way that works best for them, through our services or otherwise.

Profit is killing social media.

The biggest social media companies make a staggering amount of money every year.

In 2024, X, previously Twitter, made $2.5 billion, Snapchat made $5.3 billion, TikTok made $23 billion, Instagram made $66.9 billion, Facebook made $164.5 billion*.

Combined, that’s $262.2 billion in a single year. Enough to buy 37,000 60m superyachts, launch 39,000 Falcon X rockets, stay in a Deluxe Suite at the Ritz for 213,000 years, or pay off all student debt in the UK 57.6 times.

Still, it isn’t enough. Big Tech platforms will squeeze as much money as they can from their users, even if it means sacrificing the social in social media.

I need to simplify things because I’m juggling three accounts right now: my Sharkey account, my Revolt account (an alternative to Discord), and my admin account.

                                                                        From now on I’ll be posting mainly on Sharkey. I’ll still be active on Mastodon for moderation work on tootworld.social and for other content, but I won’t be posting songs anymore — my public posts and updates will be on Sharkey only.

                                                                        If you want to keep following me, you can find me on Sharkey. Thanks for understanding — hope to see you there!

                                                                                    I came across this list of tootctl commands that aggressively prunes assets from various mastodon caches. While it does free up a lot of disk space, I wonder how it impacts the wider mastodon community. I worry that it might cause unnecessary traffic and stress on other instances as mine is forced to re-download images that have been purged. Thoughts?

Changes can be as simple as not using a feature anymore, to fully avoiding a platform.

Looks like my instance somehow won't accept access_token, issued by the /oauth/token, if this token was stored and reused e.g. after Emacs restart.

                                                                                              BTW, if I try to get the access_token by hand, via the Librewolf DevTools, then the server won't give me any token, saying that "The provided authorization grant is invalid" :drgn_think_woozy:

                                                                                                  The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.

                                                                                                  Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.

                                                                                                  So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.

                                                                                                  I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18

                                                                                                                            Two possible places to store the credentials: ~/.authinfo.gpg and ~/.emacs.d/mastodon.plstore (both support GPG encryption).

                                                                                                                            When I make first login the mastodon.el asks me about passphrase then about password :drgn_think_woozy: . Both entered strings should match.

                                                                                                                            After some experiments I realized that it asks me not about my password but about passphrase to unlock my GPG key (twice :drgn_knife_angry: , then other programs, like Magit or pass frontend doing this only once).

                                                                                                                                That's the wonderful thing about the Fediverse. There is always another alternative. But corporate sites like Blue Sky — you're their bitch, and your only choice is to put up with their shit or go without.

                                                                                                                                That's the difference. On the Fediverse, you always have choice, and you always have a say. But with corporate social media, you're at their mercy and their whims.

Have people been leaving mastodon? Where have those users gone to if anywhere?

                                                                                                                                                Also Mastodon seems to have introduced a degree of privacy. The API returns if the OP accepted to be quoted.
                                                                                                                                                Fedilab already supports this privacy parameter by displaying only accepted quotes.

                                                                                                                                                                              I know how the #Fediverse and its federation works. It's intuitive and familiar to me; I mean, I even host my own instance.

                                                                                                                                                                              But I never understood how interaction cross-software is supposed to work. In theory, I can use whatever #ActivityPub software I want and still interact with everyone else. But in practice that just... isn't the case, right?

                                                                                                                                                                              I mean, for text it's quite simple: I write a short post on #Mastodon and people on #GoToSocial or #Misskey or whatever can see and read that same post and interact with it. They can see my profile and it appears on their instance in their style and with their features.

                                                                                                                                                                              Even outside of microblogging I still get it. A super-long post on #Friendica or #Diaspora appears on my timeline, too. Their profiles might have more fields than I can see here, but that's fine.

                                                                                                                                                                              But what's up beyond that?

                                                                                                                                                                              I can see #Pixelfed posts here, converted into image galleries. But what about the other way 'round? If someone on Pixelfed follows my Mastodon account, they can't see any of my non-image posts, right?

                                                                                                                                                                              What about #PeerTube and such niche software? I guess I could follow a PeerTube account as a microblogger and see their videos and descriptions in my timeline. Video comments are replies.

                                                                                                                                                                              But the other way 'round? How are they supposed to interact with Friendica or Pixelfed users? PeerTube doesn't even have a "timeline".

                                                                                                                                                                              Doesn't that feature disparity undermine the whole idea of the #Fediverse or am I missing something?

                                                                                                                                                                                - If you're using a mobile app, there may also be a "share" button that looks like a box with an arrow. Click this to bring up options for sharing on your phone's apps.

Is there anyway to disallow the domain substack.com in trending so I don't have to keep doing this and any future subdomains are blocked from being publishers in trending? Since publishers are listed in alphabetical order, the Substack subdomains are spread out throughout the long list of publishers.
