Great news: The team at #Buffer is working on developing a #Mastodon channel option! trello.com/b/PDIV7XW3/buffer-t…
Once that's available, while I'm still in transition from Twitter to Mastodon, I'm hoping to use Buffer to cross-post some of the links I share. (both on Twitter & Mastodon)

It could be you! Apply now:
You can filter any Mastodon account's public posts by hashtag using the following website address:
(mastodon profile's web address)/tagged/(hashtag without the #)
So, for example, to see all my public posts with the hashtag "Mastodon" the address would be:
mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/…
As many have pointed out in comments, you can also add .rss to the end of the address to create an RSS feed.

Elon Musk’s Biggest Success Story: Convincing People To Try Out An Open, Distributed Social Network

This is bad for 3 reasons:
1) Some people’s posts automatically delete after a certain time, & they do not authorize sites preserving past posts.
2) Some #Mastodon instances content are copyrighted, opening up a potential lawsuit
3) @boyter may lose out on future jobs or with future clients, as scraping sites without permission will hurt his reputation

Nice to have you on board @mozilla, but we need more than another instance:
"If you buy into the idea that #Mozilla should be spending resources on #Mastodon, at the very least [they] could do something meaningful like finance and supply labour to build better moderation tools, end to end #encrypted DMs or some other meaningful effort. Yet this is not what is proposed."
Hello! We are a new instance for #artists and #creators, both amateur and professional. We serve the creative community and want to provide them a place to promote their work and build an audience on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Your fans can follow your accounts from other servers, but this is exclusively for artists and creators for now.
We're just starting out, but applications are open for artists and creators, come see us at artistalley.space/about

Someone publishes few pieces manually on @matrix. Not consistently, but I think they are doing steps in the direction of migrating here wholeheartedly, just not so fast. If you really want to hear from *human* human, find individual devs of #Matrix on #Mastodon and look how they are doing. 
Most notably, I found @thibaultamartin and @travisr. Follow them!

How To Install Mastodon on Ubuntu 20.04
Mastodon is a microblogging social networking application that uses a decentralized model, also termed as a federation by its creators.Tony Tran (DigitalOcean)

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.
If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

"What does Friendica wants to be"?
@Friendica Support @Friendica Developers
Let me start with a concrete, question: Are there any efforts / plans to support the upload of videos?
And now, since I might have your attention, allow me to broaden the question to:
What is your opinion regarding "what #Friendica is / should be"?
My view / vision is heading slightly in the direction that nowadays image and video content is quite central in social networks and thus a #Fediverse application like friendica should support the multimedia aspect a bit more, if it wants to be attractive for the broad public in terms of being an alternative to commercial social networks.
Most of you might tell: "Yeah, if one prefers media centric Fediverse, then check out #pixelfed ". But I think, pixelfed is yet too much of an Instagram clone, only providing the image / video focus (which bothered me at Instagram from the very beginning not being able to have good commenting / discussion options there).
In my view, Friendica has great potential becoming a great "one fits all" application for the majority of people who like social media and the concept of the Fediverse. It has way more cool functions than #mastodon / pixelfed (which are in my opinion too close copies of Instagram and Twitter, respectively) but much simpler and convenient than Hubzilla (which I think is really great, for a computer science person, but not for the broad non-technical focussed public)
Wrapping it up: I would love to see a Friendica development towards an easier multimedia support. What are your thoughts?
Cheers
Marek

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:
➡️ chirp.social
You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers
It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.
It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.
chirp.social: groups for the fediverse
Create groups for Mastodon and other ActivityPub-enabled apps.chirp.social
I personally have mixed emotions about people who are only now waking up to the fact that on commercial social media we were never the customer we were the product. Seeing blog posts etc. from people discovering this after I've been talking about it for a few years now.
This is a tweet from 2021:
"It's typical the new media *have always* used subtle propaganda to hit emotionally. In the old days "It sold papers" nowadays it sells our information to advertisers. "
It was really obvious after reading Walter Lippmann, Jacques Ellull, Popper, John Dewey and Chomsky himself. The trick is going to be in proving Lippmann wrong.

Why #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are so important:
“Relying on market-based means of communication made it inevitable that sooner or later, the ruling class would get to determine who can speak and how.”

The domain zwezo.o-k-i.net automatically creates mirroring #Mastodon #bot accounts upon any #Twitter handles put into their search field, without authorization by the original Twitter profile owners.
I doubt, this is #legal, under EU law at least & find it highly #disturbing, that anybody can create bot accounts referring to others, who are neither aware of this nor authorized this in person.
BIG FLAW!

One of the great things about coming over to Mastodon has been raising my awareness of alt text for images.
Including this by default when uploading files is a great move. Not only is it better for accessibility on this platform, but it upskills people on how to do this creating content elsewhere online.
One of the best resources I have found and can highly recommend is this webpage from Harvard: accessibility.huit.harvard.edu…
#mastodon #accessibility #website #AltText
Write good Alt Text to describe images
Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage. It is read aloud to users by screen reader software, and it is indexed by search engines.accessibility.huit.harvard.edu
Folks, I want to boost your lovely posts, I really do but I won’t if you don’t write image descriptions (alt text) so people who use screen readers can also experience them.
It doesn’t take long to write one.
And if you’re posting an image of text and you have an iPhone, you can select the text from the image with a long press and copy/paste it.
Even Linux has apps that do this (like Frog: tenderowl.com/work/frog/)
#accessibility #a11y #fediverse #altText #images #screenReader #mastodon
Please include alt text with your images. Especially when your image is nothing but text. It's dead easy to do in #mastodon.
I love seeing all the new members joining the platform, but this does mean that with more people, you may feel the need to #mute or #block an account on #Mastodon. That is fine, your experience on this platform should be dictated by you and you alone.
So, I made this short guide to help you better navigate how to use this feature.
Please give it a #boost if you can to help spread the knowledge around the Fediverse.:ablobcatrave:
