I Just Felt Like Running Marshall Point Lighthouse, Port Clyde, Maine I just had to get a picture of this one, always been a favorite of mine. "Run Forrest Run"

Fediverse Tip: Because there is no "Algorithm" to dictate what we see here, when you Favorite a post it only saves it to your Favorites list.

That is, it doesn't mean that more people will see it. Here, it's "Boosts" that count. When you Boost a post, you are saying "I like this and other people should see it.

The Fediverse doesn't run on "engagement". It runs on people explicitly sharing the posts they feel have value to others.

Hallo #Mastodon

Wir sind #neuhier im #Fediverse und wir setzen uns für die Nutzung von #OpenSource-Software in #Bayern ein.

Für uns ist unverständlich, dass Bayern weiterhin auf eine Ausstattung der Behördenarbeitsplätze mit #Microsoft setzt.
Dadurch würde die wirtschaftliche & technische Abhängigkeit Bayerns von #US #BigTech noch weiter verstärkt und Aussagen zur #digitalen #Souveränität blieben ein Lippenbekenntnis.

Obligatory, PSA for those who don't already know about this:
THIS IS A SCAM/PHISH/HACK; DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IF YOU SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS; REPORT IT, AND HAVE THE REPORT FORWARDED TO THE REMOTE INSTANCE IF APPLICABLE, AND THEN BLOCK SAID ACCOUNT, IN THAT ORDER.

So, I finally got my first one of these, ever, today.

This is hilarious for a number of reasons, and I'm not going to elaborate on that because I don't want to give anyone any ideas, and in so doing, become indirectly responsible for making these things—almost certainly unmarked bots, AFAICT—more effective in the performance of their intended function.

I'll just leave it at that; believe me when I tell you that I really want to write an entire essay right now, about whatever it is that I'm not saying right now, while laughing right now.

The real danger isn't Artificial Intelligence itself; AI is just a tool meant to make our lives easier. The true threat lies in the unscrupulous hands behind it.

Hab mal eine vermutlich dämliche Frage. Wenn du ein Stadt ins Fediverse holen möchtest, mit eigener Instanz. Würdest du ihr Mastodon empfehlen oder Friendica oder einen dieser seltsamen anderen Dienste oder was meinst du?
#fediverse #diday #mastodon #friendica

Apropos of nothing, it is a good idea to backup your user data of your #Fediverse account regularly.

It is a _particularly_ good idea if your instance hasn't been updated for a long, long time, since that's a strong hint that your admin might be MIA.

For the record, the current version of your #Mastodon instance is on the "About" page. If it is below 4.5, you should check if your admin is still active, and maybe ask them about their update plans.

RE: https://mastodon.world/@verififnotiff/116163544724438174

Thanks! I’ll be sure to report this right away to my instance administrator. Oh wait - that’s me!

I hope we collectively can figure out some way to block these account creations on the bigger #Mastodon servers for these pests.

#Mastodon

If I say something bad about Substack, I am not saying something bad about you. I am saying "Substack is bad" look into it.

#Substack
Supports Nazis
Supports extreme right wingers
Owned by billionaires

If you are on #Mastodon, you understand the concept of decentralization. You can also do this with your blogs.

I feel extra strongly about this when i see vulnerable communities post on Substack.

As somebody with ADHD, I find having multiple tools for roughly the same purpose actually kind of satisfying.

Case in point: I have a Sharkey account, a Mastodon account, and I use Phanpy as well. I follow roughly the same people on Sharkey and Masto, it's just wahtever interface I'm vibing with in the moment. Masto has the advanced view active, and I have about 7 panels up. Sharkey has my more simplified feed, and is using a very pleasing color theme. Phanpy is what I use when I want to see more posts, less less boosts.

In the end, it's what the feel is at the moment.

Push Notifications and MastoBlaster

MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.

When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.

When a new notification is generated:

1. Your instance encrypts the notification.
2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.
3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.
4. Apple delivers it to your device.

The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.

The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.

Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.

In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.

#MastoBlaster #Fediverse #Mastodon #GoToSocial #Akkoma #iOS #Apple #PushNotifications #FreeBSD

I spent some of my day today working on a Flyer / Poster that I'll be able to print and distribute advertising the Fediverse.

What do you think of it? Something people might want see printed / produced? or something that needs some more time.

From now on, you can add a 'Share on Mastodon' button to your website.

To share, the only thing people need is a Mastodon account. It doesn't matter on which server.

Simply enter the name of your server, for me that is 'mastdodon.world' and you can share.

You can even add text before your share goes out (like this example).

#Auth0 #HowTo #mastodon #MastodonAPI #SocialMedia

Compartimos esta gran noticia con ustedes! A partir de esta semana estará funcionando en nuestros servidores, además de la instancia de Mastodon Uruguay, un relay activitypub. ¿Que es un relay? Es un servidor intermediario entre instancias del fediverso, que envía y recibe publicaciones "públicas" desde y para los servidores que estan suscritos al relay, sin importar si las instancias estén federando con esa cuenta o instancia.

Actualmente se dá el caso, por la arquitectura granular del fediverso, que haya cuentas que realicen publicaciones con visibilidad pública, que no aparecen en instancias amigas, por el simple hecho de que no hay nadie de la instancia suscrito a esa cuenta. Si las cuentas publican utilizando #hashtags, podrían llegar igual, porque los hashtags se federan, pero si no lo hace, esa cuenta seguramente no aparezca en los muros de federada de otras instancias. Cuando una instancia se suscribe a un relay, envía todas las publicaciones con visibilidad pública al relay y recibe de éste, las publicaciones con visibilidad "pública" de otras instancias.

Es una forma de potenciar el intercambio y el flujo de publicaciones entre instancias para agrandar el fediverso visible. Existen muchos servidores relay, pero generalmente están en el norte. Los servidores relay consumen recursos y ancho de banda por lo que muchas veces solo se admiten instancias manualmente que cumplan con ciertos criterios, como por ejemplo, estar en alguna región geográfica, ser instancias temáticas o comunidades específicas.

Es por esto que para poner la frutilla de la torta luego de la migración nuestra instancia a un servidor dedicado y mejora de los servicios en general, que decidimos montar nuestro propio relay cuyo fin será potenciar el fediverso latinoamericano.

Mensaje para admins:
Si quieren suscribir vuestra instancia al relay activitypub, deben contactar a @j3j5 o @admin por privado, desde las cuentas admin de la instancia. Solo agregaremos por el momento, instancias latinas. La URL del relay para agregar en la consola de administración de Mastodon es https://relay.mastodon.uy/inbox

I had a slight chuckle reading about Mastodon, as some random blogger announced that it's slowly dying out. Their backing for this claim was a list of Mastodon instances that had since stopped existing.

With that mentality I'd say the web is dead too, I know plenty of sites that have died out. If you ask a young person, they know there's Facebook, Google and Microsoft on the web and you you can access them all with a bookmark.

Personally I've been following Mastodon for a while now even when I wasn't here yet, as I suspected it, or some other Fediverse service might be the torchbearer for the moment when people are just so disgusted with commercial social media, that they just want to look for an out.

Looking at people's introductions, I can't help noticing how many people of my age are now joining here. People from maybe BBS ages or from the early web age when it wasn't shit yet. People, who know proper content and genuine co-operation and sharing of interests is possible without SEO'ing and engagement optimising it all into hell.

I truly hope #mastodon and the rest of Fediverse will make it.

Dazu noch gibt es einen #Peertube - Kanal und auch eine eine eigene Instanzen auf #Mastodon !!! Und mit ihren eigenen Worten wollen die Beteiligten die Leute ins #Fediverse locken.
Mastodon steht als #SocialMedia Verlinkung sogar an erster Stelle vor den ganzen Big Tech Symbolen.

Meine Kritik an diesem traumhaftem Projekt:
Es gibt noch nicht einen Post auf der eigenen Instanz, auf Peertube existiert ein Video. Auf Facebook hingegen schon mehrere und auf Instagram wir seit längerem beworben. Hier passen Anspruch und Handeln nicht zusammen.

Aber ich freue mich trotzdem so sehr auf das Projekt und hoffe, dass sich die Präsenz im Fediverse noch ändert.

BigTech social networks are like a shopping centre:

Die #SpendeDesMonats geht diesmal an #Mastodon

Nach einigem Grübeln, welches Lieblingsprojekt ich diesen Monat
unterstützen könnte, fiel es mir plötzlich beim alltäglichen
Blättern in der Timeline wie Blätter von den Augen... Mastodon! 😊 👍

Unterstützt auch eure lieb gewonnenen Software-Projekte! Nur weil der Download nichts
kostet, heißt es nicht, dass kein Aufwand hinter den Projekten steckt. 👍

It's okay. Clearly they died doing what they loved, which was shitposting on #Mastodon.

Alt...

Meme that shows what might be two grave sites, with two crosses in the ground with two circular white funeral wreaths in between them. Against a dark background of trees, the setup looks like it spells "toot." Caption reads "Feel bad for laughing, feel worse for taking a photo, but here we are and there it goes."

@aphandersen vi har jo #mastodon, så hvis nogen vil os noget, lsd dem komme hertil, hvor vi er.

@Crisper Jeg mener, at hvis de ikke vil være, hvor jeg er dvs #mastodon, så er der jo garanti for et #kryds færre end ellers. Mao, det er politikernes problem.

Was tue ich?

Was tue ich für eine bessere Welt? 🌍

Ich stelle mir diese Frage tatsächlich selbst sehr oft. Ich stelle sie mir, weil ich finde, dass wir sie uns alle öfter stellen sollten, ehrlich, ohne schönreden, ohne wegzuschauen.

Und... Ich mache das nicht perfekt. Ich scheitere auch. Ich bestelle auch mal etwas online. Ich bin kein moralisches Vorbild, ich versuche nur bewusst zu leben.

Technologie & digitale Selbstbestimmung

Ich nutze seit 1998 ausschließlich Linux. Privat und beruflich. Kein Windows, kein macOS. Nicht aus Trotz, sondern weil freie, offene Software für mich eine politische Haltung ist. Wer seine Daten, seine Werkzeuge und seine digitale Infrastruktur vollständig in den Händen von Konzernen lässt, die damit Milliarden verdienen, gibt ein Stück Souveränität ab. Das will ich nicht. Ich verwalte privat und beruflich dutzende Linux-Server, und ich tue das mit Überzeugung, nicht nur mit Kompetenz.

Kein Facebook (mehr). Kein Twitter/X (mehr). Kein Instagram. So wenig Amazon wie möglich. Ich weiß, das klingt für manche radikal. Für mich ist es konsequent. Diese Konzerne verdienen an unserer Aufmerksamkeit, an unseren Daten, an unserer Wut. Ich verweigere dieses Geschäftsmodell.

Stattdessen bin ich hier, im Fediverse. Dezentral, offen, menschlich. Ich betreibe mit lsbt.me eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz: ein sicherer, queerer Raum für LGBTQ+ Menschen. Ohne Algorithmus, der Hass belohnt. Ohne Konzern, der entscheidet, welche Stimmen sichtbar sind. Bei uns entscheidet die Community.

Ökologie & bewusstes Leben

Meine Frau Michelle und ich leben in unserem eigenen Haus und versuchen jeden Tag, unseren ökologischen Fußabdruck so klein wie möglich zu halten. Auf unserem Dach arbeitet eine 11-kWp-Photovoltaikanlage, gespeichert in einem 11-kWh-Heimspeicher. Wir produzieren unseren Strom weitgehend selbst. Die Sonne schickt keine Rechnung.

Wir fahren wenig, kaum 5.000 bis 7.000 Kilometer im Jahr. Bald steigen wir auf ein Elektroauto um, den Skoda Epiq, und laden es dann mit unserem eigenen Sonnenstrom. Mit einer PV-optimierten Wallbox schließt sich der Kreis.

Hinter unserem Haus liegt ein großer Garten, der uns echte Selbstversorgung ermöglicht. Bohnen, Kohlrabi, Salate, Kartoffeln, Zwiebeln, Knoblauch, Erdbeeren, Brombeeren. Mehrere große Kirschbäume, ein alter Walnussbaum, viele Apfelbäume. Was wir nicht selbst ernten, kaufen wir regional und saisonal. Essen hat für uns wieder einen Weg, und eine Herkunft.

Und ja, ich bin mir sehr bewusst, dass ich das Privileg habe, mir diese Infrastruktur (Haus/PV/E-Auto) leisten zu können, und sehe es gerade deshalb als Verantwortung, es auch genau so zu tun.

Politik & Haltung

Ich bin politisch. Sehr. Manche nennen mich linksextrem, ich finde das ehrlich gesagt eher bezeichnend für den Zustand unserer Debattenkultur als für meine tatsächliche Haltung. Ich bin weder gewalttätig noch verfassungsfeindlich. Ich bin schlicht der Meinung, dass Menschenwürde, soziale Gerechtigkeit und Klimaschutz keine Verhandlungssache sind. Ich bin Mitglied bei DIE LINKE, weil ich an eine Gesellschaft glaube, die niemanden zurücklässt.

Ich bin Feministin. Antifaschistin. Und ich stehe laut dazu, auch wenn es unbequem ist.

Aktivismus für trans* & LGBTQ+ Menschen

Ich bin eine Frau mit transgeschlechtlicher Vergangenheit. Und ich sage das nicht als Disclaimer, sondern als Erklärung, warum ich tue, was ich tue. Ich habe am eigenen Leib erfahren, wie es sich anfühlt, wenn niemand für einen kämpft. Wie es sich anfühlt, unsichtbar zu sein, diskriminiert zu werden, nicht zu wissen, ob es überhaupt einen Ausweg gibt.

Deshalb kämpfe ich. Ich habe jahrelang Selbsthilfegruppen für trans*, inter* und nicht-binäre Menschen geleitet, in Radolfzell, Ravensburg, Villingen, Sulz am Neckar und darüber hinaus. Ich habe als Peerberaterin hunderte Menschen auf ihrem Weg begleitet, bei Fragen zu Hormonen, Operationen, Ärzten, Behörden, Arbeitgebern, Familie. Ich habe Vorträge und Seminare an Schulen, Universitäten und Kliniken gehalten, um Transphobie zu bekämpfen, bevor sie entsteht.

Ich habe das nicht gemacht, weil ich musste. Ich habe es gemacht, weil niemand das durchmachen soll, was ich durchgemacht habe.

Tue ich genug? Nein. Niemand tut je „genug". Aber ich tue, was ich kann, mit dem, was ich habe, jeden Tag ein bisschen bewusster. Und ich glaube, das ist der einzig realistische Anspruch, den wir an uns selbst stellen sollten.

Was tust du für eine bessere Welt? Ich frage das nicht rhetorisch. Ich bin wirklich neugierig. 🌱

Mastodon.bd is finally up and running.

It’s the first Bangladesh-focused Mastodon instance on the fediverse. I’ve been wanting to see something like this exist for a long time, so it feels good to finally put it online.

Even though the focus is Bangladesh, the instance is open to everyone, regardless of where you’re from.

#bangladesh #fediverse #mastodon #asia #dhaka

Ich bin nun bewusst vollständig zu #Mastodon gewechselt.

Für mich war ausschlaggebend, dass digitale Räume nicht nur Werkzeuge sind, sondern Kultur prägen.

#Dezentralität, #Subsidiarität und #Transparenz sind für mich wichtige Prinzipien – auch im Netz.

Deshalb hierher. Und hier bleibe ich.

Welcome to MastodonBD!

While our primary focus is Bangladesh - its people, culture, technology, and public discourse - the instance is open to everyone, regardless of location. We encourage respectful dialogue, diverse perspectives, and meaningful connections across borders.

If you believe in open social networks and constructive conversation, you are welcome here.

Let’s build this space thoughtfully, together.

#fediverse #mastodon #mastoadmin #bangladesh #dhaka #asia

A few facts and thoughts about #BlueSky being decentralized or not:

1. #ATProto (the protocol behind bluesky) is decentralized and open-source, but is controlled by a for-profit (albeit fiscally a public benefit) organization, "Bluesky Social PBC".

2. "Bluesky" refers to a sum of ATProto concepts, notably the AppView (bsky.app), the main Personal Data Servers (PDS, bsky.social), and the Relays (or firehose, bsky.network). There are others, but they're the 3 important ones.

3. Anyone can run their own AppView, PDS or Relay AND consume the content from/get their content consumed by the Bluesky infrastructure. HOWEVER, not everything is trivial or cheap to run.

3.0 A PDS, which contains your data (account details but also posts, likes, follows, etc), is trivial and cheap to self-host. Cheaper than hosting a mastodon instance, even, because it does way less stuff and receives way less requests. See https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

3.1 An AppView (the presentation layer, where users interact with ATProto content) can be created by anyone, but the bsky.app backend is NOT open-source, so there are not a ton of options right now.
EDIT: seems like I was wrong and that the bsky.app AppView is open-source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/bsky

3.2 Running a relay is trivial but expensive to self-host. This is because its purpose is to act as an aggregator for all the PDS so that AppViews can consume the data in a way that scales better. The Bluesky relay implementation (bigsky) is open-source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/blob/main/cmd/bigsky/README.md
About 2.5 months ago, 4.5TB of storage was needed and an OVH server costing 150$/month worked to host a full-atmosphere relay (more on that later).

4.0 To make a comparison with #ActivityPub (the protocol behind #mastodon ), the AppView and PDS is the same thing in ActivityPub, and the concept of relay doesn't exist. There are advantages and drawbacks to both architectures, I might do a future post highlighting those.

5.0 With those definitions out of the way, some observations:

5.1 A lot of users self-host their PDS, but the vast majority of users chose the simpler option.

5.2 There are some alternative AppViews built on ATProto, but the vast majority of users visit bsky.app.

5.3 There are very little non-bluesky self-hosting of relays, mostly because of their prohibitive cost. Running the bigsky relay is expensive partly because of design decisions for ATProto and partly because it takes ALL content from ALL accounts for ALL the network on the atmosphere (in this case atmosphere == fediverse but for ATProto). This is like if your Mastodon instance queried ALL servers for ALL accounts querying ALL posts. In the future, there might exist relays that don't scrape ALL data but only a subset of it, which would bring down costs, but it's not yet the case.

6.0 So "is Bluesky decentralized?"

6.1 In theory, yes, everything that bluesky does on ATProto can be.

6.2 In practice, however, the most decentralized part of Bluesky is the PDS, where the user data is stored, and even that is not that decentralized.

6.3 Will it stay this way? I'm hopeful it won't, but I don't know. ATProto is fairly new compared to ActivityPub, and the ecosystem around it was mostly built by the BlueSky company, but I expect this to change in the future. However, the cost of entry for things built on ATProto will always be more than the cost of entry for things built on ActivityPub.

6.4 Things built on ActivityPub will always be more decentralized than things built on ATProto, because of design decisions from both of these protocols.

So, if you report an account, who receives the report? It says "thanks we'll look into it", but who is "we"?
I'm curious about this.
#mastodon

Estaba viendo el tema de como muestra las ediciones de toots la web de #mastodon... no hay forma de verlas unificadas? Y que aparezcan tachados o remarcados los cambios o algo así... Así lo hace la app pachli por ejemplo, creo

Literally the best underutilized feature of Mastodon is the ability to schedule posts. I am looking forward to the day, if ever, that this will become a part of the main UI so I can finally get rid of things like Buffer. I utterly hate influencers as much as you can possibly imagine, but this wouldn’t just be used by influencers. I’m sure you’re an adult with friends all in different timezones and you have an offline life as well, so you can’t be posting all the time, but you check your feed at the end of the day. You seriously mean to tell me that even though you’re not an influencer, you would not have any use at all for this feature? I don’t beleive for one second that no influencers would never utilize native post scheduling. #Fediverse #Mastodon

Es ist doch klar, dass in der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie die Lauten und Extremen aller Religionen und Weltanschauungen das meiste Gehör finden. Doch längst bauen die Leiseren, Dialogischen an immer mehr Orten ein vielfältiges, friedvolles Miteinander, wie es das in der Geschichte noch niemals gab!

Wer das einmal verstanden hat, versteht auch, warum Europa, Deutschland und Baden-Württemberg so viel Hass abbekommen. Die wütenden, vereinsamenden Dualitisten verlieren…

Gerade weil ich praktisch täglich mit #HassundHetze konfrontiert bin, kann ich auch als Religionswissenschafter eines mit Sicherheit sagen: Noch nie in der #Geschichte war das alltägliche Miteinander von christlichen, jüdischen, muslimischen, jesidischen, anders- & nichtreligiösen Menschen in #Deutschland und besonders in #BadenWürttemberg so gut wie heute!

Der digitale Hate trifft uns auch hier im #Fediverse - weil es insgesamt so gut läuft, auch im #Ramadan ! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/heilige-zeiten-in-deutschland-beobachtungen-vor-ostern-und-zum-ramadan-2026/

In a recent comparison of engagement around a Leave.X campaign post,[1] someone pointed out that a female journalist who is active in the feminist movement and critical of Big Tech had a very different experience than others.

The Mastodon post was shared twice, while the Bluesky version was shared over 200 times and received significantly more interactions. This raises questions about tech-savvy spaces like Mastodon and how they reflect broader societal issues.

For women on Mastodon:

Do you feel that the patriarchal dynamics and male behavior in this space, which is still largely dominated by white men, make it harder for women to participate?

This is weird. I see updates from a person A from app.wafrn.net I already follow. And I can exchange DMs with a person B which we are not following each other. However, my follow request was received and accepted, and I can follow that person, but I am not seeing any follow requests from them, even if they have sent it multiple times. Any idea what's going on?

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

Ontem no encontro da https://bolha.us sobre ActivityPub a gente bateu um papo incrível sobre bots no Fediverso — e esse post é o resultado prático disso.

👉 Construindo Bots para o Fediverso com Python e apkit
https://www.riverfount.dev.br/posts/translate-bot/

Cubro tudo o que você precisa pra criar um bot ActivityPub do zero:

→ Por que usar apkit em vez de Mastodon.py
→ WebFinger, HTTP Signatures e RSA na prática
→ Um bug real de produção com digest SHA-256
→ 96 testes e os padrões de mock que aprendi na prática

O caso de estudo é um translate-bot: recebe menções, detecta o idioma e responde com a tradução direto na thread.

The good thing about #Mastodon that there is no algorithm. Because if there would be one my feed would be full of cat pictures and toots booster by @catsalad

I mean, it's similar today as well but there is also occasional content about tech too, so there is balance.

So, on one screen, I see these happy, easy-breezy people filing their taxes with H&R Block.

On the other is my #Mastodon feed, filled with reporting on #fascist #antitrans legislation, #ConcentrationCamp construction for #ice , the #FederalGovernment run by the top names in the #EpsteinFiles, etc, etc.

I'm sorry ... WHY IN THE FUCK ARE WE GIVING OUR MONEY TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON APRIL 15TH?!

Is anyone out there advocating for a #TaxStrike? Or at least filing #nofederaltaxes this year?

Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to the #Mastodon community for some advice and support. Here in South Africa, many blind individuals, including myself, face a significant barrier in the job market. Despite having the right qualifications and experience, many companies still hesitate to trust our capabilities. It's frustrating to see that a lot of companies still believe blind people can't use computers, even though we have tools like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver at our disposal.

The most amazing thing is that even if you have the experience and qualifications to prove that you indeed qualify to work at this job or even at the company, they don’t care. The only thing they care about is the amount of sight you have at your disposal.

For example.
I have been contracted at the South African Broadcasting Corporation, our national public broadcaster (similar to the BBC in the UK or NBC in the United States). Although my contract officially ends at the end of March this year, I was told to stop working in May last year because they said there was “no further work” I could do. Recently, I received a letter confirming that my contract is now ending. Last year, when I returned to Cape Town due to my mother’s illness, I applied for a call centre position just to sustain myself. I passed the assessment test, but I was not hired because they said they did not have tools to accommodate me — even though I brought my own USB with NVDA to use as my screen reader. The real issue was not tools. It was trust.

The worst part of it all is that many blind people begin to believe the problem is their qualifications. So what do they do? They go back to school and complete another degree in a different field, thinking it will improve their chances of getting hired more quickly—only to face the very same barrier again. I know someone who holds four different degrees in completely separate fields, including Marketing, HR, and Social Science, just to name a few. Yet he is still unemployed.

So tell me, What can one do in situations like this, where qualifications, experience, and solutions are not enough because employers simply do not trust blind professionals?

I'm eager to hear your thoughts and any advice you might have on how we can better advocate for ourselves and change these outdated perceptions. Thanks in advance for your support! #Accessibility #Inclusion #BlindCommunity

You can read for yourself, but essentially they are not fascists or racists, they are neurodivergent. And thus they cannot be held responsible for acting racist or fascist. And if you stand against either, you are a terrible Christian.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Sireen Mohammed (@sireen123)
• Saeed Mahmoud (@saeed200)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

hey #fediverse people using #mastodon on underpowered machines, what is your client of choice?

I'm on a #SurfaceGo with a Pentium Gold running #Fedora with #KDE and think that maybe someone here has a recommendation for something more lightweight than the default web client.

A sleek tablet displayed against a dark gradient background shows a news app in dark mode. On the left side of the screen, a feed features posts from Al Jazeera, including a photo of collapsed buildings with the headline about Pakistan carrying out strikes in Afghanistan, and another post with an image of Donald Trump speaking at a podium about a tariff ruling. On the right side of the app interface, a mostly empty panel reads “Select an Article,” prompting the user to tap a post to read more. The image appears to showcase the app’s split-screen layout and article selection feature, highlighting a clean, modern design built for browsing and deep dives into news stories.

@dansup
It'll make people do some authoritarian behaviour. I think the best thing is to put those under a content warning as "OP blocked user" or something like that. This will make things transparent.
And in client side one can choose to not see such warning posts in their feed. This will be a better suggestion IMO.

@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubles explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.
