🎉 Die heutige #FediverseSprechstunde ist zu Ende.

Ein großes Dankeschön geht an @crossgolf_rebel für den super Vortrag zu den Einblick in die #misskey Familie. Wir haben alle sehr viel gelernt und es beweist sich wieder, wie vielseitig die verschiedenen Anwendungen im #Fediverse sind.

Die Präsentation hat uns Rebel zum Download zur Verfügung gestellt:

Im Dezember wird es keine Fediverse-Sprechstunde geben, da feiern wir Weihnachten, Silvester und sind mehr im realen Leben mit Menschen zusammen.

🗓️ Der nächste Termin für die Fediverse-Sprechstunde steht bereits fest: Donnerstag 23.01.2025 um 19:30 Uhr
Dazu wird es einen Beitrag zu Hubzilla von @pepecyb geben.

Weitere Details folgen.

Lang lebe Fediverse! :fediverse:



Před pár dny jsem tu sdílel info, že botník press.coop končí a že se jeho boti stěhují na Flipboard.com.

Dneska jsem se tomu trochu věnoval a ukončil 2 boty, ale hlavně...

Na Flipboard.com aktuálně běží reálně několik stovek velmi zajímavých informačních zdrojů, počínaje ofiko @NationalGeographic a konče třeba @BBCNews.

Když si do Explore zadám Flipboard.com a nechám zobrazit všechny výsledky, je jich opravdu moooc a jsou hodně zajímavé, tak to zkuste.

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub

You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.

It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

For my take, see Mastodon could have leaned into what it's good at

Here’s the server that’s been running my two #fediverse instances and #Hugo blog for the past two years.

It’s a low-power Intel NUC with a Celeron processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. The entire setup lives under my printer and cost less than $300.

Bandwidth demands are modest—just a few gigs weekly. No fancy tunneling involved either. It’s just a straightforward router setup forwarding a couple of ports, a script that updates the server’s IP with my registrar as needed, and a robust Fail2ban rule set to keep things a bit secure.

No more corporate social networks and VPSes!


Wow! I'm making #Bandwagon -- an open source, community-focused alternative to #Bandcamp that anyone can self-host.

As of this morning, there are 99 #Musicians and #Bands who have set up #Fediverse profiles on bandwagon.fm -- and half of those already indexable on search engines.

So I'm humbled by the number of people who are giving it a go. There's obviously lots of people out there looking for something new.

I promise to do my best to give y'all the tools you deserve.


Alright I'm organizing 6 weekly meetings with some very unwilling participants, so I need 6 loaf cake recipes to win them over... any recommendations? 🍰🍰🍰

Flavours so far:
- orange
- white chocolate raspberry
- pumpkin spice
- rozemary olive oil
- ???
- ???

I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.

🥳 Exciting news! @loops, the #Fediverse's answer to TikTok, receives a grant from @nlnet! 🎉

Get ready for a new era of personalized short-form videos, remixes, and community interaction - all with the freedom and privacy of #ActivityPub!

I read that the official Mastodon instance of the Swiss government will be closing down.

They say there are few active users, low engagement, and minimal interaction, which seems quite plausible. Additionally, they claim that "on platforms like X or Instagram, the Federal Council and the Federal Administration have many more followers." I believe that too, of course.

However, I do not agree with their decision. I think a government shouldn’t be overly concerned about follower counts and interactions, but rather about providing free, autonomous communication that is independent of third-party companies. In my view, a government shouldn’t operate like a business focused on "numbers."

Still, I appreciate their experiment - many governments, like the Italian one, haven’t even tried.

Regarding costs and management effort: an instance with 5 users and 3,500 followers (numbers provided by them) can run on a VPS for €3 a month and doesn't require heavy moderation. The cost for them is nearly zero. Yet, the freedom of information and discussion, especially for a Neutral Country, should always be a priority.

I believe that maintaining control over one’s information channels is crucial, especially in today's world. But, I fear that decision-makers only consider the numbers, which often favor the flashiest - but worse - solutions.

Encouraging citizens to use closed platforms is, in my opinion, a wrong choice.

Thanks to the Swiss government for at least giving it a shot.

finally figured out why @mozilla's rejection of the #fediverse is bothering me so much: i had no idea mozilla.social was open to the public. i thought it was only for their employees.
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/m…

so am even angrier because this "experiment" was bullshit.

if i, one of the most eager early adopters of tech on the planet didn't get that mozilla.social was open to everyone, then it's their fault millions didn't flock to the platform.


Hecho.

Ich hatte hier vor einiger Zeit im Rahmen der letzten #TwitterExodus -Wellen auf andere Social Media Plattformen im Kontext des #Fediverse hingewiesen, u.a. auf Firefish.

Leider wurde da die Entwicklung eingestellt, aber der #Misskey -Fork #Sharkey (joinsharkey.org) ist dafür umso aktiver. (Wie alle anderen Projekte, die #ActivityPub nutzen, föderiert auch Sharkey problemlos mit #Pixelfed oder #Mastodon.)

Wer das mal austesten möchte: federation.network/ oder sharkey.world/ bieten einen einfachen Einstieg.

Was ich an der Software besonders interessant finde, sind die Funktionen "Antennen" und "Kanäle".

Je heterogener das Fediverse wird, was die verwendeten Plattformen angeht, desto weniger Sorgen muss man sich um das Erreichen einer kritischen Masse machen. Die lokale Timeline mag dünn aussehen, aber die föderierten oder globalen Timelines sind dafür aktiv.


In den 40er oder 50iger Jahren wurde das kleine Häuschen mit natürlichen und nachhaltigen Materialien aus der #Region gebaut. Dazu zählte auch die Farbe für den Sims/ Ringanker. Sie wurde in der nahegelegenen Stadt aus Naturmaterialien hergestellt. Diese #Farbenfabrik gibt es schon lange nicht mehr, aber ein Enthusiast knüpft an diese Tradition an.
Ich freue mich über den strahlenden Anstrich, den man damals Saalfelder Ocker nannte.

Falls ihr bei der neuen Lehmfa|r|brik etwas bestellen solltet, erwähnt doch das #FediVerse. Ich bekomme und ich will dafür keine Provision. 😃

5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people

privacy.thenexus.today/start-m…

  1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
  5. Approach it intersectionally

The article also has links to anti-racism resources and appendices with a list of common mistkes to avoid and blocklist resources for moderators.

Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!
