Hi guys,
I just experienced a wierd issue with image federation to #Mastodon.
This post contains 50Mpix image that never federates from #Friendica to Mastodon. Snac and Pleroma does not try to cache the image, so #federation to them works.
Shouldn't be thumbnail federated instead of full size image? Is this bug of Friendica or Mastodon?
I'm on 2024.12 so far, Yuno did not updated packages yet.
Thank you for help

Bonjour @menelion
Oui malheureusement.
Un scandale que je dénonce sur #Mastodon.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

Many are probably familiar with how unfriendly the #Fediverse / #Mastodon is to non-white cultures.
In my opinion, if you really care about wiping out Fediverse white supremacy with actions and not just empty words... you should be following ALL TurtleIsland.social moderators and admins.

About Bluesky and federation:
Edit: There might be some mistakes, and my information could be outdated, but the point still stands - Bluesky wasn't built on 100% federation from the start.
I've been wondering about Bluesky's decentralization again. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to self-host Bluesky in its current form. I cannot 100% self host "my own Bluesky".
Their main selling points for building their own protocol were easier migration and better discoverability, but right now there's no simple way to migrate my Bluesky account to my own instance. And hosting the centralized parts yourself isn't really possible, or if it were, not affordable, they haven't made that feasible, by design, it seems.
Even if you self-host a PDS, Bluesky's Relay only indexes up to 10 accounts from it. You can run more, but they won't federate, the central infrastructure decides what gets seen. They control this (source: docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-f….). You can self-host a PDS (Personal Data Server), but you still depend on Bluesky's centralized Relay and AppView. There's no production-ready alternative infrastructure from what I gather.
It feels like I'd be renting a room in a hotel that someone else is running anyway, when I want my own hotel.
If Mastodon gGmbH vanishes tomorrow, my instance keeps running and federating with everyone else. If Bluesky PBC vanishes, the ecosystem would need to scramble to stand up replacement infrastructure that doesn't really exist yet.
ATProto keeps getting evaluated on its promises while other systems get evaluated on their merits. The "portability" selling point depends on infrastructure that isn't mature enough to actually catch you if Bluesky falls.
I trust W3C, the builders and fathers of the World Wide Web, ActivityPub and the Fediverse.

Hallo allerseits, ich finde die Funktion nicht, wie ich Alternativtext für Bilder (in Posts) in friendica [Server loma.nl] eingeben kann.
Allgemein ist anzumerken das im Gegensatz zu #mastodon #friendica eine wesentlich bessere Bildergalerie besitzt. Ebenso das diese eigentlich noch nie wirklich ueberarbeitet wurde, das bedeutet unter anderem das die ALTtext Initiative fuer #barriereFreiheit auch nicht eingearbeitet wurde.
Angesichts dieser Umstaende ergibt sich folgende best practice zum erstellen von Beitraegen und Antworten:

Hier eine recht neue ziemlich elaborierte und organisierte Bildergalerie eines Projektes und ein Link zu einem Thema inklusive Antworten das u.a. mit jener Bildergalerie erstellt wurde:

RE: mastodon.social/@hennavirkkune…
Dear #Mastodon this (quoted below) is the Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy of the European Commission. Who joined today (Jan 13). Great to have someone from the commission here.
🙌 🇪🇺 ✌️
Update/Good news: The mastodon.social account *was* legitimate, and has been migrated to @HennaVirkkunen
All people who were following on mastodon.social have been moved to follow that account. (Thx @dgoldsmith for the update🙏)
& thx @lexinova for keeping an eye out for us 🙏❤️

Servers described as "Glitch Mastodon" or "Hometown Mastodon" work just like Mastodon but have additional features such as larger post sizes, rich text formatting or local-only posts.
Mastodon's server software is free and open source, so programmers can tweak it to make their own versions. (Untweaked Mastodon is often called "Vanilla Mastodon".)
You can find good Glitch and Hometown servers to join or move to at:

Dva boti? NE, správný počet je TŘI! Aby se @zpravobot a @slunkobot zabavili i v mezičase, kdy nic nepublikují, je tu i @hrubot, třetí do mariáše.
Hrubot přinese trochu jiné zprávy, ale neodpustí si jejich okomentování, a nedělá to v bílých rukavičkách, ne ne, je ironický, sarkastický, hrubý, je zkrátka Hrubot!

Für den nächsten #Diday möchte ich gern #Mastodon und auch #Pixelfed vorstellen. Dazu habe ich unter
pix.freiraumzittau.de/qbi
einen Account angelegt.
Wer von euch ist bei Pixelfed bzw. welche Accounts könnt ihr empfehlen?
Periodic reminder to boost the posts you like to keep the Fediverse alive.
WE are the algorithm here 
question for people- for the accessible description of an emoji, would you expect it to say the skin tones?
for instance, "women holding hands" vs "women holding hands: light skin tone, medium-light skin tone"
personally the latter feels very verbose, but i'd love to get thoughts!
Ich bin Fan vom Känguru und „VIEWS“ ist auch wirklich sehr gut.
Ich frage mich, ob Marc-Uwe Kling (@marcuwekling ) der Sache nicht mehr geholfen hätte, wenn er angekündigt hätte, ab morgen ausschließlich im #Fediverse zu posten.
Die meisten Nutzer folgen dem Content und nicht komplizierten moralischen Appellen.
To celebrate the first official Digital Independence Day - with some help of other #opensource enthusiasts - we convinced someone from my family:
✅ to install #Linux on their Mac computer,
✅ created a #Mastodon account for them,
✅ and assisted them in the transition.
It worked out!
Thank you to the anonymous supporter! ;)

I’ve just created a new Django starter pack on FediDevs 👀
It collects non-human accounts only: Django projects, conferences, podcasts, news, and community initiatives.
No personal accounts, just things you may want to follow once and forget.
If you know other Django-related project accounts on the Fediverse, please reply and suggest them.
Happy to keep improving this together 💚
Please reboot 🙏

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.
I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here 🙂 And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!
(Alternatively, you can browse my website at fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)

I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.
But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!
We set up a new Mastodon instance focused on supporting nonprofit/charitable organizations. If you know of such an organization looking for a place in the Fediverse, please point them our way.

Hey #Mastodon people, the #blogging hashtag is pretty cool because I get to see blog posts from folks I would otherwise not meet. Can you recommend any other hashtags where people share their essays or fiction?
PS: I don't really want a hashtag where people share their thoughts about writing and such. I am inundated with those lol. I want actual pieces so I can find new folks to read ✌️
