Für den Misskey Fork #Sharkey, mit dem ich ganz zufrieden bin, nutze ich die App #Aria, @aria_app@misskey.io

Ich glaub, ich hab noch keine andere #FediVerse App gefunden die so gut zu meinen Bedürfnissen passt und so umfangreich konfigurierbar ist.
Würde mich interessieren, ob sie auch für #blinde Menschen nutzbar ist...

Nice. How to leave #X / #Twitter and #Instagram? In the edition of tomorrow‘s newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine offers valuable tips and highlights alternatives in the #Fediverse, such as #Mastodon and #Pixelfed.

A must-read especially for @Gargron from @Mastodon and @dansup from @PixelFed and of course @helpers / @admins

When I read the essay "The Power of the Powerless," one of the most interesting ideas I found there was the concept of the parallel polis introduced by dissident Vaclav Benda. It was basically a parallel structure of services to those controlled by the regime. One example was the so-called flat university. Professors who weren't allowed to teach in universities gave lectures in someone's apartment to students who weren't allowed to attend universities. This was difficult for the communist regime to target because it was not an institution but a fluid group of people.

In my opinion, the #Fediverse is very well positioned to be the parallel polis of our time if things really go south in the U.S. or elsewhere. ✌️

Was m.M.n. fehlt, ist ein #Matrix #Chat #Server (synapse), den man zur datenschutzfreundlichen Kommunikation für und in der #Selbsthilfe empfehlen kann.
Also für Gruppen, #Patienten, #Betroffene #Angehörige, die sich über das breite Spektrum von #Erkrankungen, #Behinderungen, deren Folgen und Bewältigung austauschen möchten.

Ein Server, der vielleicht möglichst ohne die, nach meiner Beobachtung, störanfälligen Bridges zu anderen Chatsystemen auskommt und mit Spam-Schutzmechanismen betrieben wird.

Es kann doch nicht sein, dass Betroffene solch sensible Chats auf fragwürdigen Systemen wie z.B. WA führen müssen...

Vielleicht wäre das nach der Präsenzeröffnung im #FediVerse ein nächster Schritt für Vereine und Initiativen wie z.B. @FatigatioeV@mastodon.social

migrating from #WhatsApp to another centralized platform is not a real solution, that's why we are here in the #Fediverse and not in #BlueSky

Migrate from #WhatsApp to #DeltaChat and other decentralized alternatives, break free out of the silos once and for all and stop feeding billionaires/CEO incubators

#ArcaneChat #XMPP #Matrix #SimpleX #Session #decentralization #encryption

To begin with @Hypolite Petovan, the original idea is to offer for example to projects like @YunoHost :neopossum_box: or @Castopod :podcasting2: a profile on forum.friendi.ca, the same way our very @Friendica Support works.
Most #fediVerse platforms have profiles on their own platform and/or a #mastodon profile, because that's the kinda standard thought and behavior. But actually to me it looks like the #friendica #communityForum page capabilities exceed by far what mastodon or others have to offer. Well, I haven't digged into the fedi clone of reddit to see if that would be an even better option. What is true tho is that forum.friendi.ca is already long standing and our community has gone a long way, so there is in general terms "no single point of failure" like in other projects that depend on one main figure and that's it.

I consider our helpers community experience here, with all the followers of our helpers page getting resend the help requests posted to the forum, chiming in to help out and solve issues, very positive. So this is a proven setup and could help lot's of other projects out here too. Actually I do think that if implemented and adopted, it even could have a positive feed back loop for friendica itself, but that's like something on another page.

So having forum.friendi.ca already up and running, why not support the fediVerse community opening our doors to those who fulfill certain basic community standards?

This server here (tupambae.org) as well is only mend to be a forum server, and of course it's doors are open for any #fediPlatform that likes to have an own forum page over here, yet somehow to me it look's like forum.friendi.ca is the first natural and ideal candidate for something like that.

Of course same goes for a #fediAdmin, #activityPub or #APIdeveloppers community support forum, if that is desired or useful.

Right now in general terms the fedi lives on using some tags or maybe some a.gup.pe addresses, but it's actually us who hold and develop that option for more than a decade now inside the federation itself.

Was that more clarifying @hypolite?

Two projects we love are currently running a crowdsource campaign. The modular Open Hardware laptop MNT Reform Next is up on Crowdsupply where you can support them by buying a T-shirt or treat yourself to an OH laptop in pre-sale.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

Wie komme ich ins FediVerse?

Vier Schritte um in das dezentrales Netzwerk verschiedener Dienste zu kommen.

^JoergSorge

For those migrating to the #fediverse from #Facebook, the experience can be a bit overwhelming.
Choosing an instance/server can be daunting, not to mention trying to match basic need with feature set. One thing I can recommend when inviting folks to the fedi is to gently get across that it's not exactly what they're used to. They have to be a bit more hands-on, since there is, for the most part, no algorithm.

From working in tech support for about 13 years, I learned that when introducing something new to the user, it's best to take one aspect and focus on teaching that to them. Get them a foundation, help them get comfortable, then move on to the next aspect. Education = empowerment.

Here's a list of the protocols I use/have used and my experience with them. I've done a little footwork, and made a list of servers by protocol for users to peruse. Courtesy of FediDB! I recommend going to each instance's about page and reading up on such info as character limit, location, instance focus, blocklists, and who they federate with.

One thing I can say for sure: My interactions in the fediverse - with a couple of exceptions - have been pleasant and rewarding. Fedi is truly a breath of fresh air when compared to the mainstream platforms.

Mastodon fedidb.org/software/mastodonOf course, the most widely known of the protocols. I've had more experience on it than any other. Mastodon instances usually have a 500 character limit. If one is particularly verbose, it may not be ideal, as you have to create a thread in order to have a longer post. There are other mastodon instances with larger character limits. Again, best to look at an instance's about page to get the lowdown.

Sharkey fedidb.org/software/sharkeyProbably my favorite thus far. Sharkey is a fork of the MisKey protocol, and has a rich feature set. It has a selection of reaction emojis, so you can do more than just "like" a post. If you're versed in MFM formatting language, Sharkey also has you covered. Character limits are usually higher. Sharkey.world (the instance I'm on) has a 5000 character limit.

Friendica fedidb.org/software/friendicaFor a more Facebook-like experience, and a practically unlimited character limit, Friendica offers a bit more familiarity to a fediverse newcomer's experience. It has events, calendars, and you can create groups, though you actually create a new page to act as a group. In all honesty, I find Friendica a bit clunky, but that's just personal opinion.

And that's my offering. I hope this is useful, and as always, if what I presented needs correction anywhere, please feel free to let me know, just be constructive.

Im Moment empfinde Ich das #Fediverse und darin #Mastodon als den normalsten Ort im Internet. Das liegt daran , dass hier nicht die am stärksten polarisierenden Aussagen belohnt werden, was wiederum dazu führt, dass die Leute hier einfach nur normal interagieren, oder mitlesen wollen.

Was ich mal damit sagen wollte, ich bin dankbar für diesen Ort und für die Menschen hier. Danke. 🙂

Weis jemand was mit anonsys.net los ist

Hallo Zusammen, weiß jemand von Euch was mit dem Friendica Server auf anonsys.net los ist? Ich kann die Seite nicht mehr aufrufen, bekomme nur noch einen 404er Fehler.

Leider weiß ich nicht wie ich @Tuxi ⁂ der den Server betreibt erreichen kann, deshalb frage ich einfach mal in die Runde.

!Friendica Developers !Friendica Support As of right now I am not sure if my #Friendica instance is working across the #fediverse as I am not seeing much engagement at all, and more than half of who I am following, I am not receiving their #feeds at all, and at this point I am clueless as to what is going on or how to deal with, because I dont know what is wrong, or if anything is wrong.

If it matters, I am in cPanel on shared hosting, so not root access to anything.

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu #Threads, und ziehen jetzt wegen #Zuckerberg weiter zu #Bluesky. Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.

Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?

Und tut es wirklich so weh, einfach mal auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte (#fediverse) zu stehen? 🤷🏻‍♂️
