Wenn ihr ein gut gepflegtes, beispielhaftes #Mastodon #Profil einer #Stadt, #Gemeinde, #Kommune oder #Verwaltungsgemeinschaft nennen solltet, welches wäre das?

#digitaleSouveränität #öffentlicheKommunikation #Datenschutzfreundlich #SocialMedia #FediVerse

I got out time ago and found, from a #Fediverse tip, codeberg.org/ to use instead of GitHub for my Open Source ideas.

The simplicity UI delivered #bliss

the generalized community among Mastodon appears to promote the opposing extreme

Maybe if you very explicitly only count #Mastodon instances, but if you mean the #Fediverse instances, you're quite incorrect. The Fediverse hosts a very wide array of opinions, though I would not be surprised if your instance has a sizable blocklist which makes you feel like this is not the case. Hugboxes are quite dangerous, yet some fedi admins, especially Mastodon ones, seem hellbent on ensuring they never ever hear any opinion they disagree with. If you feel like the Fediverse hosts only a particular viewpoint, I would highly suggest joining a better instance.

see a few though I know are just trollfarms tbh

Sure, but should those be immediately defederated completely? Seems like massive overkill to me.

in general this seems to be the case

If you stick to those instances, then sure. If you do not, like me, you'll see it differently. You choose to stay within that narrative now that you know your current instance is part of the problem.

I've seen a lot of backlash about threads joining federation, and the thought of X even federating if they wanted to

I dislike the idea of them federating here, too. The people that come to the #Fediverse do so because they dislike the proprietary platforms and their tactics of manipulation for profit. Getting them here would only lower the quality of discourse on the Fediverse.

you have to pick sides no matter what

You don't, your admins do it for you without you knowing it.

show me one that doesn't block anything but then also doesn't wind up, in itself, getting blocked

This seems like a weak argument. Any instance I might show you, you can just add to any blocklist at that moment just to ensure you're always right. Besides, getting blocked by incompetent power-hungry #Mastodon admins requires no bad intent on the blockee's part, so it holds no meaning to be blocked in itself.

I know my instance is blocked by a few dozen other instances, but that doesn't mean my instance is unusable. On the contrary, the instances that don't block me value free and open discussion of any idea, which means that my experience of the Fediverse is much more wide in opinion than yours can ever be.

With the launch of Ghost 6.0, every publication that runs on Ghost becomes part of the #fediverse. You can follow and comment on Platformer or 404 Media articles without leaving your Mastodon feed. This is the future of social media.

Congratulations to @johnonolan and all the team at Ghost!

Remember when “social media” was “social networking”?

What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff.

Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the #fediverse special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.

🎉 Here are some faces you will see in 3 days at FediCon!

🔐💬 Zajímá mě názor ostatních:
Používáte ještě e-mail s PGP?
Osobně mám klíče na YubiKeyu, používám je na Git podpisy a trochu souborů, ale u e-mailu si už nejsem jistý, jestli to vůbec někdo na druhé straně ještě čte/umí.

Budu rád za vaše zkušenosti ✉️🛡️

Vielen Dank für die schnelle und ausführliche Antwort!

Dass man #Fatigatio im #FediVerse erreicht finde ich sehr gut!

Das könnte für andere #Selbsthilfeorganisationen vielleicht ein Vorbild sein. Denn, soweit ich überlicke, gibt es kaum Selbsthilfe, die Betroffenen Infos via datenschutzfreundlichem #SocialMedia wie z.B. #Mastodon ermöglicht.

#Krankheit #Hilfe #MECFS

A bit of a cleanup of my profile.

Culled the dormant accounts of followers and those I'm following.

I'm pleased to see that of the 517 accounts I'm following, 384 have been active in the last 24 hours, which tells me that Mastodon, far from being the maelstrom of crap that other social media systems are, is nicely, manageably busy.

S ohledem na to, že mi na každej inzerát na #bazoš už reagujou jen boti se nabízí otázka - máme někde federovanej #bazar, kterej by to řešil? Nějakej #marketplace na #fedi by totiž vůbec nebyl od věci, hashtagy jsou imho celkem málo

Samozřejmě bych mohl udělat skupinu, ale to nepovažuju za alternativu opravdovýho bazárku

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

Looks like I picked the wrong week to start using Friendica.

Crashes across all interfaces, takes forever to load. Maybe, if you collapsed all comments by default, just maybe it wouldn't be crunching so hard. Bluesky integration fails completely. Oh well, seemed perfect for me, in the abstract. I learned quite a lot about the potential. Think I just need to make Mastodon my one stop-shop instead.

Udělal jsem na #VHSky playlist s vysvětlujícíma videama o principech, na kterých funguje #Fediverse

Byť je to všechno anglicky, možná se vám to někomu bude hodit, až zase někdo přijde s dotazem "a co to jako je?" :)

Zatim tam je #Mastodon, #Peertube a #Fediverse obecně .. pokud někdo potkáte další videonávod, sem s ním :)

Jo a samozřejmě klasicky sdílejte, než to smažou!

Soon, you'll be able to buy music on the Fediverse.

Bandwagon, the music-sharing platform built on Emissary, has seen a lot of success over the past few months. The site has grown to a catalogue of over 300 different musicians, spanning a wide range of different sounds and genres. After refining search and discovery features, project lead Ben Pate has decided to focus on introducing a payment system for music sales.

📺 Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media

A 4 minute video that aims to introduce the Fediverse to people not familiar with it

^{Elena Rossini}

Do we need to say more?

#Trump #Musk #TrumpVMusk #BigTech #X #Twitter #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Mastodon

Many consider #Bluesky a success, but in fact its activity has steadily declined since Trump's inauguration. The #Fediverse has had similar trends. Rapid growth caused by an external event is always followed by a slow decline back to a small base of loyal users. In a world full of dopamine addiction, it's hard to be a social network without dark patterns.

#SocialMedia

Admin of todon.nl suggests, and rightly so, that the default/flagship Mastodon instance (isn’t decentralisation great?) be moved to a more neutral jurisdiction than Germany:

“Herewith the urgent request to move the Mastodon server presented to new users as the default (mastodon.social) to a more neutral jurisdiction (e.g. Switzerland). An alternative is to set up a new Mastodon server in a more neutral jurisdiction, which can then serve as a new flagship server.

The trigger for this is the regular negative moderation of people who speak out against the largest and bloodiest genocide of our time, the one in Palestine. In particular they use (or abuse, how you want to look at it) of a German law that seeks to counter so-called Holocaust reversal. With hiding behind this law, the moderators of mastodon.social (and especially its owner) are also unwittingly sitting in the chair of the (German) judge.

Apart from the fact that one local law should not affect the entire Mastodon project, the question is whether this law and the concept of Holocaust reversal are legally tenable in an international context.”

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d…

Mastodon mod closes the ticket after stating “There is no current plan to make changes to the Mastodon instances operated by Mastodon gGmbH. People are free to choose any Mastodon server when signing up for the platform.”

And this (see screenshot) is what that “choice” looks like.

This decentralisation anti-pattern – along with the fact that they didn’t close registrations after hitting a certain size to create a social precedent and allow distribution to other servers (as I advised Eugen to do back in the day) – is why there is a flagship instance to begin with when it’s an absolute contradiction of terms in a system that purports to be decentralised.
