"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

Das ist ne gute Idee!

Wird das eigentlich noch weiter entwickelt?

The Fediverse is deliberately spread out on thousands of independent servers running many types of software, which connect together to form a single social network.

But why is it like this? Why go to all this trouble? Wouldn't a single large server be easier?

Here is a complete list of reasons why it is very important for a social network to be spread out on many independent servers:

One of the ideas I’ve been kicking around for the #Fediverse is promotion of small businesses by Fedizens. This includes tools, apps, and services, not all of which have to necessarily be super developer-focused.

If you’re interested in being featured on some kind of #FediBusiness directory, or know of a really good candidate, let me know! I have a little list going already, but would love to actually turn it into something.

With big players like Flipboard, Wordpress, Ghost and Threads entering the fediverse, along with bridges to Bluesky and more….your choice of platform will be less about content (you’ll see it everywhere!) and more about the app experience and features you prefer. 🥳

Anyone knows how well gotosocial would work with tweesecake, twblue or mona mastodon clients? Considering to run one instance but if there's issues I'm not going to bother.

Zkouknul jsem podcast s
Johannou Nejedlovou, kandidátkou do Evropského parlamentu.
V rozhovoru štrejchli o téma "Evropská sociální síť" jako protiváha čínského TikToku a amerického Facebooku.

👩 Odpověděla že by jí spíš zajímala nějaká decentralizovaná forma sociální sítě.
🧔 Moderátor skoro až posměšně odpověděl "Že bych jako odešel z X a vzal s sebou všechno v batůžku a šel jinam..."

Chce to víc popularizovat #fediverse, aby nemuseli jen snít o věcech co už máme...

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”

Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:

So earlier today I posted that the CoffeeGeek site achieved a target of a high ranking in Goog searches for a specific topic.

But truth be told, I think a lot of that ranking came from folks right here in the #fediverse, who have been so incredibly welcoming of this account, always ready to boost the ramblings I post, interacting, and just creating a massive amount of good vibes.

Our internal logs show all the traffic we get via mastadon, and I'm seriously grateful, and humbled that you feel our little endeavour about specialty coffee is worth checking out from time to time. I also owe a lot to our small but dynamic blog team who contribute some awesome content.

Thanks for the constant welcome on this platform. It's really appreciated.

Happy *seventh* anniversary of "Six reasons Mastodon won't survive" to all who celebrate:

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

For alternatives, see: https://fedipact.veganism.social

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

In the glory days of web 1.0, social websites would prominently link out to their digital neighbors via lists known as webrings; magical doorways to an expansive hinterland of digital villages.

Let's envision what a truly federated chat like #Matrix could do to improve the cross-connectivity of chat channels. Most of these features are already possible, they just haven't been implemented yet in a community-oriented client experience.

By the way, if you have any questions about using Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse feel free to reply or DM or @ me.

I'll try to find you some answers.

For years, I have used syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentation material.

Not once did I get the feedback that the syntax-highlighted code was hard to read. But now I read once or twice that using syntax highlighting for code examples in presentations is considered a bad practice.

Question to the #accessibility experts of the #Fediverse: Should I avoid syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentations? If not, do you have recommendations for color palettes?

Thanks!
