Ever wonder why @pixelfed doesn't have a spam problem?

- We prevent new users from sending DMs

- We built an automated spam detection service that can email you when spam is detected, and you can make the final decision

pixelfed.blog/p/2023/feature/a…

We have even more in store 🚀

#pixelfed #autospam #spam #prevention

Working on some exciting updates! 🎉

Soon we'll auto-detect and let you edit photo metadata like camera model, focal point, and exposure—totally optional and perfect for our pro users.

Plus, with HDR support rolling out soon to everyone, your pics will shine brighter than ever!

Stay tuned! ✨

Pixelfed for Android (v1.0.0.70) is now available via our F-Droid repo!

Our Google Play build is pending approval, and is expected to be available within the next 24 hours.

Ich hatte hier vor einiger Zeit im Rahmen der letzten #TwitterExodus -Wellen auf andere Social Media Plattformen im Kontext des #Fediverse hingewiesen, u.a. auf Firefish.

Leider wurde da die Entwicklung eingestellt, aber der #Misskey -Fork #Sharkey (joinsharkey.org) ist dafür umso aktiver. (Wie alle anderen Projekte, die #ActivityPub nutzen, föderiert auch Sharkey problemlos mit #Pixelfed oder #Mastodon.)

Wer das mal austesten möchte: federation.network/ oder sharkey.world/ bieten einen einfachen Einstieg.

Was ich an der Software besonders interessant finde, sind die Funktionen "Antennen" und "Kanäle".

Je heterogener das Fediverse wird, was die verwendeten Plattformen angeht, desto weniger Sorgen muss man sich um das Erreichen einer kritischen Masse machen. Die lokale Timeline mag dünn aussehen, aber die föderierten oder globalen Timelines sind dafür aktiv.

I just want to educate y'all about this specific "scary" warning (that you may see in the Pixelfed app)

Apple Bonjour is a feature that enables seamless connection between your Apple devices

You can safely tap "Don't Allow" without any impact, however, that may limit Handoff support and other Apple features we're planning to implement.

Regardless, you can audit our app code yourself to verify we aren't doing anything sketchy

✨ Simpler Settings

Admins can now more easily manage Pixelfed settings from the dashboard!

You can configure many settings without having to restart your server or run commands 😎

We even have a list of default rules you can import with a single click!

#pixelfed

Why can’t you suspend users in Pixelfed? Why is the only option marking their accounts as spam?

Why are mod management tools in Pixelfed still the worst of any software across the fediverse?

You want to talk about a commitment to improve moderation meaningfully? Why are you worried more about some ridiculous-ass reel app over key moderation features?

I held back before, but now it’s clear you’re just a bad faith actor looking to fulfill your own childish impulses of fame and building the “next big thing”.

If Loops and Sup are anything like how you treat the Pixelfed project, they’ll be jokes at the expense of the users and admins who try their best to make the most out of these broken platforms.

I don’t know how you sleep at night.

It looks like you can now view anyone’s Threads profile from Mastodon and Pixelfed instances that federate with them.

If you’re a Mastodon user wanting to block Threads, or a Mastodon server admin looking not only to block Threads from federating to your server but also block all inbound and outbound traffic (data scrapers, loads of traffic overwhelming small servers) from all their IP addresses, I wrote a guide that can help:

mastodon.moule.world/users/MOU…

#Threads #Fediverse #Mastodon #PixelFed

Reminder to anyone who said "Meta wouldn't do anything to Fediverse, we should let them join!"

Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

mastodon.social/@dansup/112126…

Just remember, *Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them.* We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.

If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.

And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.

EDIT: *Please* send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.

✨ Pixelfed for Android v1.0.0.41 is here with hashtag following and related hashtags!

pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

#pixelfed #pixelfedForAndroid #hashtagFollowing #relatedHashtags

Last year, #Flickr said they are studying it. We haven't heard any updates since.

I would suggest using #Pixelfed for your photos since you can upload more than 4 images through it. Or, any other Fediverse software; avoid Mastodon when it comes to images/gallery: (1) you can only upload max 4 images; and (2) anything beyond 4 attachments, Mastodon sends it to the blackhole. It's not a bug, it's by-design, still, it should be “fixed”.

✨ Hello WebP2P!

Admins can now enable WebP2P support for Video!

This allows you to distribute and cache videos among users, reducing the load on the origin and accelerating content delivery!

✨ Familiar, Fun, Federated

Pixelfed Stories are shipping soon to our official mobile app!

#pixelfed #stories

I keep seeing lots of people who are totally giddy about the #Fediverse, who are gushing over it, who want to promote it, who want it to spread.

And who want it to advance. To learn new abilities. To grow new features.

That's all fine and dandy.

But almost all of these people are still fully convinced that the Fediverse equals #Mastodon. And nothing else. At least not until Tumblr and P92 join the fray. Okay, maybe the #WordPress plug-in that's the talk of the town now that it has become official. Okay, maybe a few of them have also heard of #Pixelfed and/or #PeerTube because their makers are all over the Fediverse.

When these people are talking about the Fediverse, they mean Mastodon. And when they're thinking about the Fediverse, they're only thinking about Mastodon. Because that's all they know.

So these people want new cool features or even new cool use-cases in the Fediverse, stuff that Mastodon doesn't have. They want Mastodon to have it, or they want new projects to be launched that have these features.

If only they knew.

If only they knew that everything, literally everything they propose has already been done. Yes, in the Fediverse. In projects which are fully federated with Mastodon. Why don't they know? Because they've never heard of any of these projects, much less what they can do.

So they want "quote-tweets" in the Fediverse. Which means they want Mastodon to introduce them.

Tell you what: Mastodon is the only microblogging project in the Fediverse that doesn't have quotes. Not only will Eugen Rochko never introduce them, but all the other projects have them with Mastodon forks #GlitchSoc such as being the exception. #Pleroma has them. #Akkoma has them. #MissKey has them. #CalcKey has them. #FoundKey has them. #GoToSocial has them. The old heavyweights #Friendica and #Hubzilla have them, and so does Hubzilla's youngest decendant, the #Streams project. Et cetera.

You want "quote-tweets"? Switch to something that isn't Mastodon, and you've got "quote-tweets".

Or text formatting in posts like bold type, italics, underline, strikethrough, code blocks etc. Would be great if Mastodon had that, in spite of other people saying they don't want it.

Again: Pleroma already has it. Akkoma already has it. MissKey already has it. CalcKey already has it. FoundKey already hasit. GoToSocial already has it. Friendica already has it. Hubzilla already has it (look at this post at its source in a Web browser and weep). (streams) already has it. And so forth. This time, even Mastodon forks have it.

It has been done. It has been done many times. It has actually been done before Mastodon.

Next, long-form blog posting. We need something like #Medium in the Fediverse that isn't Medium itself. Mastodon's 500 characters are too few, and Twitter-like threads are inconvenient.

Except we already have that, too. #Plume and #WriteFreely are about as close to Medium as Mastodon is to Twitter, including clean and distraction-less layouts. Oh, and Hubzilla can do that, too.

By the way: Again, Mastodon is the only Fediverse project that can do microblogging that has a 500-character limit. Pleroma, Mastodon's oldest direct competitor, raised it to a default of 6,000. MissKey and its forks have 3,000 as a default. Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have character limits of "go ahead, drop your short story in one post in its entirety," so virtually none at all. And yes, Hubzilla has long-form writing on top of that.

Speaking of Hubzilla: Most recently, there has been the idea to uncouple one's online identity from a specific instance. Your online self should no longer be firmly tied to any one server exclusively. Now, this sounds so ambitious, it might just as well be science-fiction.

What if I told you that just this very thing already exists as well?

No, really. No, I'm not making this up. But you should know by now that I'm not.

Better yet: It was conceived as early as 2011. By the guy who launched Friendica in 2010. He invented a new principle named #NomadicIdentity and a new protocol named #Zot. In its early stages already, even with no technical implementation yet, Zot was more powerful than ActivityPub is today.

In 2012, Zot became reality as the basis of a Friendica fork which later became known as #RedMatrix and, upon its 1.0 stable release in late 2015, which is still prior to Mastodon's initial release, Hubzilla. Hubzilla is still being developed and improved, and it has a fledgling but growing "successor of a successor" named (streams) which offers nomadic identity, too.

Now, what does this nomadic identity even look like? Well, not only does it let you move your channel(s) around from instance to instance with ease and, unlike on Mastodon, with absolutely everything on it. No, it also lets you have your channel on multiple instances at once. Identical clones, automagically kept in sync in real-time, all with the same identity, the same content, the same connections.

Your identity is no longer strapped down to one instance. Not only that, but your channel, your posts, your content is no longer hosted on only one server. This means that if one instance with one of your clones goes down, you still have spares.

Okay, so how about community groups/forums? That'd be cool.

Well, for one, there's #Guppe. It's basically bolted on Mastodon, and in practice, it's centralised because there's only one instance. But it's impractical to use.

Besides, this is becoming a running gag here, Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have exactly this built-in and open for the rest of the Fediverse.

Better yet: There's also #Lemmy which amounts to a federated #Reddit or #HackerNews clone. So not only does Lemmy offer this, it specialises in it.

Hubzilla alone can provide Fediverse feature suggestions with "has been done" for years to come. Not to mention what else the Fediverse has to offer. Even if someone should want a free, non-commercial, decentralised, federated #GoodReads clone in the Fediverse, it has been done: #BookWyrm.

#Pixelfed je v porovnání s Instagramem mikro sociální síť. V poslední době se na ní objevují skutečně kvalitní fotografie. Především nepatří společnosti Meta a jinému pochybnému svinstvu. Dost se vylepšila i oficiální mobilní aplikace. ☺️👍

Guten Morgen liebe Menschen auf #Mastodon, #Pixelfed und im restlichen #Fediverse.
Ziemlich genau ein Jahr ist es nun her, dass wir im #Pfälzerwald waren. Von riesigen Felsen, Bäumen und herrlichen Formen eines #Sonnenaufgang|s haben wir einiges mitgenommen und genossen.
Trinkt Tee und Kaffe und habt einen schönen Tag!

Darf ich den Schreibfehler mal korrigieren? Bitte "Instagram" durch "Fediverse" ersetzen, dann stimmt auch der Rest der Beschreibung wieder.

Das Fediverse ist vielfältig. Da gibt es Stories, Bilder, Videos. Mit jedem Service ein neuer Look. Man ist freundlich und duzt sich oft.

Oder meintet Ihr vielleicht #Pixelfed (ist auch im Fediverse)? Nicht dass Ihr im falschen Raum landet 😉 Insta war vorgestern 🙊

Bei Fragen helfen wir Euch natürlich gern!
