Hey #fediverse,

Can y'all Please tell #NPR about #mastodon, #activityPub (and #Matrix!), please?

No really.. They're literally asking for it,

https://www.npr.org/2024/01/11/1223974976/social-media-tiktok-instagram-facebook-youtube-twitter-meta-influencers

Ok, I could be reading too much into it, but it really would be nice if maybe I wasn't the only one that mentioned maybe it's something they should look into?

kthx,
- A. Rando

Frage | Friendica: Fehlende Bezüge

Ich hatte eben unten stehenden Austausch und frage mich da natürlich ob mir irgendwelche Informationen fehlen bzw. ob es bei Mastodon Bezüge gibt die ich so nicht sehe.

Wäre schon interessant zu erfahren ob man da mit Mastdon mehr sieht.

Im Januar 2024 richtete das Aktionsb. neue Soziale Medien einen offenen Brief an die Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (#HRK). Darin werden die #Hochschulen in Deutschland aufgefordert, ihre X/Twitter-Präsenzen zu beenden und stattdessen auf dezentrale Plattformen im #Fediverse wie #Mastodon umzusteigen. Diese seien besser geeignet, den Regeln eines demokratischen und nachhaltigen Miteinanders zu entsprechen. Ich bin Erstunterzeichner des offenen Briefs! Mitmachen. 👇

"I noticed that the vanilla mastodon server uses Ruby on Rails; and they picked Puma as their rack server which is a poor choice. I experimented by setting up a VM with common VPS specs and tested a single line change in the Gemfile and got massive performance and efficiency increases"

Hey #lawfedi friends, every day a new person in #law or #legal adjacent fields joints the #fediverse and isn't aware of Lawstodon - the legal community directory for #Mastodon (and eventually the fediverse more broadly).

Feel free to add yourself, claim your profile, etc. I have been using it when I send recommendations for folks looking for practitioners in specific practice areas and it works a treat!

Please share this around so I can finallly go to sleep 😫. I know people wanted to see it.

^{fedipact.veganism.social}

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

@openuk I'd love to see this Mastodon profile up here https://stateofopencon.com/advisory-board-2024/

Even better, I'd love to see the links to their Mastodon accounts.

We really have no idea how much longer Twitter (or X) will exist.

Bei #Pleroma sind mir neulich schon Unterschiede in der Implementation im Vergleich zu #Mastodon aufgefallen (an anderer Stelle).

Wenn #Pleroma #ActivityPub "erweitert", würde es die Kompatibilität zum Standard brechen...!?!

Hi there, fedi,

Did you know you can use your fedi account to #voice #chat with followers or other fedizens? The software is called #audon (for #audio on #mastodon I guess) and works pretty well.

And if you're the sort of fedi person who likes DIY and self-hosting, the project is free software so you can do that, too. Give it a shot, if voice is something that interests you at all.

Try it on https://audon.space/

Twitter is dead. Let’s start live-tweeting conferences on Mastodon instead.

Ahoj admini ( @archos, @OliKockova, @xChaos, @davidslizek, @nolog).

Nevím, zda o tom víte, ale je k dispozici Tangerine UI - alternativní skin pro webový klient, který hodně přibližuje Mastodon k Xku a je pro nově příchozí mnohem přívětivější.

Zkuste na to mrknout a zvážit, zda by to nebyl způsob, jak nově příchozí úplně neodradit a svým stávajícím uživatelům zpříjemnit život.

Díky…d8-D

I’ve now been using it for about two months and I am here to tell you that it is, in principle, what we should want the internet to be. If you have been remotely interested in Mastodon but had reservations about joining because you thought it would be difficult, confusing, or otherwise annoying, it is not.

Here is how you make a #Mastodon account: You go to this website. You agree to not share #disinformation or be an asshole. You select a username and password. Then, you have a Mastodon account.

I wrote about my first two months on Mastodon. I was a Mastodon hater because I thought it would be weird, complicated, or dead. It's been none of those things.

I'm ashamed I didn't join earlier and I'm ashamed I haven't been telling people to join it, because it's a version of the internet and social media I've long advocated for with my reporting: decentralized, portable, user controlled, not corporate:

Mastodon Is the Good One

Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?

Integrujte WordPress nejen s Mastodonem

Tento týden společnost Automattic oznámila dostupnost pluginu ActivityPub na Wordpress.com. Tento plugin si ale můžete nainstalovat i do vlastní instance Wordpressu, udělat ze svého blogu součást sítě Fediverse a přímo komunikovat nejen s uživateli Mastodonu. Přečtěte si, jak na to.

Just a heads up that there will be update is coming to the Mastodon Auto-installer script in just a few days.

It'll be fully interactive, meaning no more code modifications in the script! 🎉 Simply respond to the server prompts during script execution.

And guess what's next? We're considering a GUI installation wizard! 🔮

Check it out here:

I've been messing about with the Lemmy 🔁 Mastodon interop today and it has BLOWN MY MIND. 🤯

This excellent post from @vjprema explains how to use #Lemmy from your #Mastodon account. Amazing.

As @evan says, don't bet against the #fediverse.

There's an alternative version of Mastodon called "Mastodon Glitch Edition" (aka "glitch-soc" or just "Glitch"). Glitch is totally compatible with normal Mastodon, but adds experimental new features.

For example, Glitch instances let the admin alter the character limit, allow local posting, text formatting and lots of other stuff.

Many features in Glitch have eventually made their way into normal Mastodon after proving themselves stable and useful.

You can find out more at:

https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

If you run your own Mastodon instance you can switch to Glitch, and switch back again if you don't like it.

(You may be wondering how this post is so long? It's because FediTips is on an instance that uses Glitch, and the instance character limit has been extended to 1000.)

Here’s my write-up of how I added client-side Fediverse-powered comments to my Jekyll blog using the Mastodon API.

Huge props to @jwildeboer for the initial inspiration, as well as @julian and everyone who provided feedback for inspiring the design improvements.

The Fediverse—and Mastodon’s API—is magic for static Jekyll sites

^{Cassidy James Blaede}

“The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.”

Famous last words.
