While reading about privacy in Fediverse: "You will still have to evaluate the tracking status of the server you are on and can't just rely on the software it uses" https://blog.soykaf.

Open source in action and a step closer to EU's #digital sovereignty👉we joined forces w/ @EU_EDPS@twitter.com to enable technically the #FEDIVERSE pilot.
It shows how #opensource contributes to strategic areas such as data privacy and protection.
I have been on Twitter for 13 years but mostly read stuff. My recent tweets have mostly been about my papers or conferences, so I decided to join scholar.social. With this account, I want to give the #fediverse another go. I am happy to connect with scientists worldwide, especially in the areas of #softwareengineering, #edtech, #edutech, and related fields.

Oh look, another software anarchist, how original.
I'm part of a small software consultancy co-op based in Copenhagen. I wish I didn't have to toil under capitalism, but here we are.
I'm trying out the #fediverse experience to see if I can find more of a sense of community than the very Personal Brand focused Dunking of Twitter.
So far, it's felt pretty welcoming on here: lots of people, lots of tips on how to get started. But I have yet to find My People on here. #introduction #introductions
Friends of the #fediverse. Lots of changes coming to the #Thunderbird #email client in the next three months. Would love if you could all grab the Daily or Beta release and let me know thoughts and concerns as you watch the changes roll in.
It's got slightly different takes on many issues, but hopefully seeing a different perspective will give you a fuller understanding of how Mastodon works.
As a general rule of thumb, I won't follow anyone who:
• Hasn't posted anything yet.
• Doesn't have a bio
It's not that I don't like or don't trust you if you're one of those people, but because ActivityPub has no big scarey algorithm backing it, you must put actual effort into curating your feed. I imagine this is true for quite a few others on the #fediverse.
Current statistics of #fediverse reported by #fedisearch: #Mastodon 222903 public users on 3551 instances #Pleroma 634 users on 1315 instances (only current beta has needed api) #Peertube 277613 channels on 1195 instances #Misskey 23931 users on 402 instances 📈
The Fediverse has a podcasting platform called @Castopod which has accounts that can be followed from Mastodon etc. People can also comment, like or share individual episodes. More info at:
Castopod is a free and open-source hosting platform made for podcasters. Engage and interact with your audience whilst keeping control over your content.
Sorry @matrix, normally you're number one, but this time the page gives me excitement with another keyword. 😬
So glad people start to realise you can build viable solutions on #Matrix or the #Fediverse instead of turning everything into a #blockchain microtransaction.
Do you want to know if your friend is somewhere in the #Fediverse network? I wanted to, so I created a fedisearch.skorpil.cz It can search accounts and channels on #PeerTube and "discoverable" accounts on #Mastodon
There have been many reports lately that Facebook is blocking links to joinmastodon.org
If you are still on Facebook, please keep spreading the word about Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If joinmastodon.org doesn't work, try posting a link to a reliable instance people can join. There are so many instances, Facebook cannot block all of them from being mentioned.
That Facebook are even doing this implies the Fediverse is on their radar, which is quite an achievement in itself!
Mastodon is an open source decentralized social network - by the people for the people. Join the federation and take back control of your social media!
OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too!
There's more info about it on its website at owncast.online
The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)
If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:
