@bogo It's a good idea. But I have there ca. 500 people and almost all of them don't want to move to either #fediverse or #Signal (or any other "rational" messaging system). They are typically non-IT people and use Facebook and WhatsApp (and possibly Instagram or TikTok).
I am collecting other contact information from them (e-mail addresses, phone numbers...), but it's a long-distance run. When done (in the future), I will leave Facebook completely 😎
Friendica | Die meisten Reaktionen via Lemmy?
Seit ich regelmäßig Lemmy-Communitys in meinen Beiträgen erwähne (z. B. hier), habe ich je nach Community sehr viel mehr Reaktionen auf meine Beiträge, die dann aber weitgehend von Lemmy und nicht vom Rest des Fediverse kommen.
Ist Friendica mit Lemmy besser als mit dem restlichen Fediverse verbunden? Wie sind Eure Erfahrungen?

Hey folks, I'm considering to #selfhost my mastodon again, only I'm looking at #GoToSocial because it's soooo lightweight.
Is anyone using it full time of their instance? How does it feel admin/maintenance wise?
Die #Loops #Föderation scheint zu funktionierten.

#FediVerse
In the upcoming release you will be able to follow any blog on the XMPP network directly by clicking on the [Follow] button without being mutually friends (like it was until now), its a small change but with big impacts 😁!
We wrote a detailed and accessible article that explains the differences between the #XMPP network and the #Fediverse and shows how blogs are handled on the XMPP network a bit more in details 😸
If you are curious to see how XMPP works (spoiler: it's pretty simple in the end 😌) checkout our article (and don't forget to leave a ♥️ or a comment!

Hi @dansup@mastodon.social Thanx for working on #Loops!
With an Mastodon and an Sharkey Account I was able to find my Loops profile and follow them.
But my new videos are not listed in either the Mastodon or the Sharkey timeline.
What can be the reason?
Tech people talk about tech too much.
I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.
And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.
It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.
For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.
I am so lost, every single time.
I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.
I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.
My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)
So one thing I notice about #blind Internet culture: even back on Twitter, and now here in the #fediverse, blind people tend towards having discussions in giant threads, sometimes with as many as 10-12 people in them, that can often stretch on for days. I rarely (if ever) see sighted culture do this. I wonder why? It's not a criticism, it's just interesting to me. Maybe because Discord and other chat apps were historically less #accessible, so blind culture tends to use the fediverse more as a discussion platform? Or maybe it's something UI related that makes it easier for blind folks to track giant threads of doom? The few times I've been involved in this style of discussion with sighted folks, they've become confused and begged for everyone to move to Discord or Slack or somewhere. On the other hand, I rarely see blind people do a single, lengthy post broken up and threaded the way sighted people do, with (1/N) at the end. We tend to just move to instances with longer character limits, or put our long form thoughts on a webpage or something.
Edit to add: I'm pleased to say that this post has now become a perfect example of the thing I was talking about; my last post in the thread included the phrase "transsexual furry puppygirls". It makes me happy that people unfamiliar with what I'm talking about need do nothing more than look at the thread on this post.

Zwei Gegensatzpaare, die mir beim #Seminar themenzentrierter #Interaktion (TZI) nach Ruth #Cohn begegneten.
Es fand unter dem Motto #Bleiben oder #Gehen statt, angelehnt an ein Gedicht von Hilde Domin:
"Man muss weggehen können
und doch sein wie ein Baum..."
Das Seminar war für mich überraschend vielfältig in der Methodik, sehr interessant und sehr intensiv im gegenseitigen Austausch.
Vielen Dank an Ulrike Renker, Elke Siebert und @hokaff@bildung.social für Konzeption, Leitung und Durchführung im Klosterhof St. Afra.
btw: Es wäre sehr schön, man könnte im #FediVerse öfter etwas von #TZI lesen 😉

🦣 Před dvěma lety napadlo @fabia_man založit vlastní instanci.
Robin přišel s názvem Mamutovo – a od té doby má fediverse o jednoho mamuta navíc 😄
Dnes je mamutovo.cz pevnou součástí @oscloud 💚
Od té doby se s @cynik_obecny snažíme, aby Mamutovo bylo vždy na nejnovější verzi a běželo tak, jak má.
🎂 Happy Birthday, Mamutovo!
Das ist nicht nur optisch die grossartigste Sammlung an #UnplugTrump Tools und Services, die ich je gesehen habe.
Eigentlich muss man sich die URL zu dieser Seite von @kuketzblog auf ne Funktionstaste oder Shortcut legen, damit man die immer wieder schnell in Nachrichten und Postings packen kann.
Falls ihr die noch nicht kanntet 👉 kuketz-blog.de/unplugtrump-mac…
Und bitte boosted the living daylight out of this. Tausend Dank #Fediverse 🙏

Playing a gig in Newham tomorrow, I don't even know where that is yet... Anyway, come along if you're around, tickets are free and it would be a cool thing to meet some people from the #Fediverse.
Včerejší výpadek AWS zase ukázal, jak moc je internet závislý na pár velkých hráčích.
Stačí jeden region Amazonu a spadne půlka webu – od messengerů po streamovací služby.
A pak se někdo diví, proč má smysl decentralizace – Mastodon, MXChat, celý Fediverse 💬
Today's AWS debacle is the perfect example of the reason why in the last few years I started to be less enthusiastic about Signal, and more oriented to federated or even P2P solutions like XMPP and Jami. I wrote about it already:
gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_202…
Signal was down for few hours today, after an outage that affected AWS:
mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115…
Let's ignore for a second the blind reliance on AWS or any other cloud provider. In a decentralized system, this would not have happened, or at least it would have not impacted so many users.
Yes, I am a cryptographer myself, I know that Signal's encryption is the best. But encryption is not everything. Availability issues, geopolitical troubles, risk of enshittification, limitations on users' freedom to use and control the software lead to a lack of trust, even in a supersecure solution. And I say that with honest admiration for the folks at Signal, who are doing a great job.
May they prove me wrong over and over again.
#signal #im #aws #amazon #privacy #security #digitalsovereignty #selfhosting #fediverse #federation #p2p #enshittification #xmpp #jami #politics #opensource #freesoftware #libre
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.
Y'know, I think people like the Jimmy Truths dude serve as an example of the shortcomings of #Fediverse moderation. This dude has likely made like, hundreds of accounts on dozens of instances, but all the instance owners can do is suspend his account. It's gotten to the point where the dude now keeps coming back with usernames and posts mocking the admins for being unable to permanently remove him, often on the same instance repeatedly.
Larger companies can do things like send cease and desist letters, contact his ISP, hardware ban him, etc a lot easier. They simply have more resources to deal with really tenacious harassers than the average instance admin does. I'm not a networking expert, but I wish there was a way to actually deal with guys like this because as the Fediverse grows in popularity, it's likely more users like this guy will crop up.
I can imagine it being pretty easy for bad actors to focus their attention on a single instance and overwhelm it if there's enough of them. Or people like this dude so persistent and obnoxious that it wears the often volunteer staff down over a long stretch of time.
There seriously needs to be focus put on improving moderation tools for Mastodon before we get to that point.
What do you use for Mastodon on Android?
Looking for client that can do multi accounts, remote timeline pinning, remote hashtag feed pinning, drafts, threads auto split and maybe does not look like trash.
Basically I am looking for something as close to @MonaApp as possible.
I tried Fedilab but it is not even close. Phanpy, although a web app is actually great. Now looking for a native app that does as good.
Ich habe einen #Bot geschrieben, der jeden Sonntag ein zufällig ausgewähltes Muster der Mustersprache des #Commoning teilt: @mustersprache_bot
In der Sphäre der gemeinsamen Nutzung von Dingen und der von Freiwilligkeit geprägten gegenseitigen Hilfe tauchen immer wieder dieselben Herausforderungen auf. Diese Herausforderungen werden von den Commoning-Mustern adressiert. Dabei wurden die enthaltenen Lösungen nicht 'erfunden', sondern 'gefunden': Sie beschreiben die Essenz von gelingenden Lösungen, mit denen diese Herausforderung von den daran Beteiligten angegangen wurden.
Die 33 Muster sind das politische Vermächtnis der 2021 verunglückten Commons-Forscherin Silke #Helfrich. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn sich hier ein paar Menschen finden, die diese Muster gelegentlich teilen, damit die darin enthaltene Erfahrung im #Fediverse Verbreitung findet. Dankeschön! 🙏

Since a speaker at #FediDay25 made the offhand comment that "advertisement is free speech" allow me to offer a quick rebuttal: No, emotionally manipulating people into buying shit they don’t need is not free speech.
Any instance distributing advertisements into the #Fediverse needs to be defederated immediately.
I was at #FediDay25 in Berlin over the weekend. Lots of discussion about how we can get institutions and public broadcasters onto the #Fediverse.
When I was on Twitter, I mostly followed personal accounts from journalists and researchers because I was interested in their hot takes that didn't get filtered through social media departments.
If we want to get them on the Fediverse, it needs to become a place where they genuinely want to be. Public pressure won't be enough.
Hi there,
some questions about the behavior of friendica with respect of preserving the content of posts from other servers and other #fediVerse platforms.
There are several options in #friendica to mark posts. There is staring a post or an answer, there is interacting with it like giving a thumbs up or done (like\dislike) and answering, saving to a folder and sharing or resharing a post. Answers can't be stared but saved to a folder, shared and reshared.
What happens when a post or an answer is deleted y the owner of that post or answer?
There are posts from other instances that still are preserved over here even tho they don't exist anymore on the originating server.
What happens if answers are deleted by the owner of the answer? Also, somehow answers to answers are related and they do disappear at least when an answer is deleted locally on this server. Is the same true if an answer is deleted by the originating profile?
Also, have there been changes on the behavior on these aspects in friendica or are their discussion about changing some of those aspects?
