Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While browsing the Fediverse today it appears most people here have never tried to pick up a duck or swan. Like, not even once during their childhood.

Some people say they've not even touched a living chicken!

My hypothesis is that people here get upset about whatever hypothesis I present so I'll shutup on this.

Have you try pick up a duck or swan?

@blogdiva I feel the #fediverse is comprised of people whose only agenda to push is knowledge.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116368379234020589

here it goes:

what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Dear Fedi friends,

Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).

I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).

I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.

Merci beaucoup ❤️

> As an aside, I'm quite liking the ActivityPub APIs so far, although ld-json does leave me feeling like there's a fair jump from "script that works" to "actually does everything the spec would theoretically allow".

There's the "linked data conundrum" as I call it, which recently reared its head again, triggered by a #SocialHub post I created the other day:

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/practices-around-json-formatting-of-json-ld-messages/8628

The #LinkedData conundrum is the eternal friction between the plain #JSON and the #JSONLD view of the #ActivityPub social web. And it has never really be solved. I consider it one of the misconception that led to endless discussion, confusion, and waste of time. For the ActivityPub API which hold the promise to correct course towards a more standards-compliant #fediverse, I created an issue on the subject..

💔 The surgery was successful, thanks first to God, and then to your support and encouragement. 🙏 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me and for standing by my side. 💛 Currently, I'm in the hospital and my condition is still unstable. I need some treatments during this time. Unfortunately, I can't do anything or support my family as I used to.
My parents are elderly, my wife and children depend on me, and my brother, Muhammad, is imprisoned in Israeli jails. I'm the sole provider for my family now, and the situation has become extremely difficult. 💔 🙏 I ask you to stand with me and my family during this difficult time until I recover and regain my health.
Every act of support, no matter how small, whether it's sharing my message or making a donation, means so much to us and gives us hope. 💛 🤍 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget your support and for standing by me.

I was on a #mastodon instance for a while, hosted by a tech Youtuber. When that instance shut down, I moved to another independently hosted mastodon instance, then decided to self-host a Pleroma (alternative to mastodon) server and have been on that ever since (a couple years).

#selfhost

Pro Feditips:
You can set up any instance you want, write anything you want.
If someone wants to follow that, they can.
If 99% of us want to block you & defederate from your instance, maybe examine why we react that way & fix your behavior!
#fediverse #feditips

This is the #Fediverse. Connect with people you like. Block, mute, ignore the people you don’t want in your timeline. You decide. It’s your timeline. Welcome. Enjoy. Do your part. We can build better places, free of algorithms and influencers abusing those centralised methods.

https://makertube.net/w/8JXHYUMhfbHmRHejy5Hux8

LET SET ASIDE THAT:

1. Dare uses images of headlines and refuses to add #AltTxt to them, antagonizing one of the biggest trends native to the #fediverse

2. Dare also refuses to link to the articles from whence he snatches said headlines, breaking one of the most basic of web usability conventions.

Obasanjo spends an inordinate amount of time selling the inevitability of #AIslop. he even boasted about firing half his staff and forcing the survivors to slop themselves into relevancy

🧵…

i don’t know about y’all but who takes seriously a Naijaman selling the inevitability of #tech #fascism and #colonialism?

and now i have to wonder: is Dare’s account meant to be an engagement bot onhere?

because it doesn't make any sense at all to say there are no Black people on the #fediverse because it is averse to “engagement bots”. it does make sense though if you are using digital #Blackface like that “soul” singer on Youtube.

which brings me to the phenomenon of #BlackTwitter

🧵…

there’s a lot of bullshit with the “but where are the Black people”.
https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352800579635299

if the #fediverse isn’t like corporate “social media” built for surveillance; then stop trying to use Mastodon to stalk people.

BIPOC come to the fediverse to not be the target of the WHITE GAZE. they come to the fediverse to be whatever the fuck they want to be.

BIPOC are here, using their personas of choice, cuz they’re NOT here for you to stalk them.

🧵…

AI apologistes be like:

> I feel unwelcome on the fediverse. Persecuted even. No one wants to hear me boast about AI while I actively contribute to the destruction of knowledge, democracy, the web and the fucking planet.

It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"

I would like to argue it's not;

If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure needed

Ofc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solution

So yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution

Folks, this is a general Gaza Verified message.

Please note that while we know the unconscionable situation people in Gaza are having to go through, we are also seeing a rise (from a small number of people) of mass tagging of people in messages and unsolicited direct messages.

To our friends and families in Gaza Verified: this is against the rules of almost every server, including the one your account is on and it will get your account limited or suspended. It is also against our rules (see https://gaza-verified.org/guide/ or, in Palestinian Arabic: https://gaza-verified.org/guide-arabic/) as we don’t want your accounts to get limited/suspended.

If your account is suspended by your server for no reason or as discrimination for who you are, we will challenge that and, if necessary, help you find a new server (see our friendly servers list in the guide).

And we have also worked with some of you to help explain the rules and advocate on your behalf when your accounts were suspended for mass tagging or unsolicited direct messages.

However, with a small number of accounts, we have seen the same behaviour continue the moment the account is reinstated.

In such situations, we cannot help you further. And we will not verify any new accounts you create to avoid these suspensions.

The goal of Gaza Verified from the start was to ensure that Mastodon and the fediverse was a safe space for our Palestinian friends and, with the help of many server admins, I believe we have, for the most part, succeeded in creating a space where Palestinians are respected and valued. But this is a two-way street. It is also important that the people here who care and want to help are not constantly subjected to targeted messages imploring them to help. Many of those who help are not well off themselves and they help when and how they can.

The best thing about Mastodon and the fediverse is that it is a place where you can build genuine friendships. Everything else will flow from this.

So I beg our friends in Gaza to see the long-term value of being part of a community that cares and hopefully talking to one another and helping ensure that a very small number of accounts doesn’t jeopardise that for everyone for short-term gain.

To our friends and families in Gaza, I do not presume to tell you how to use Mastodon or the fediverse but here are some of my thoughts based on what I’ve seen in the past half-year of Gaza Verified’s existence:

1. Please don’t see this as a competition with each other. We all know that everyone who is in Gaza needs help.

2. Please try and make genuine connections with people here. Share your everyday experiences. People will follow you and they will engage with you. And from that, some of them will no doubt also help you.

3. Please don’t target messages that try to guilt people who have helped in the past to help again. If they can help, they will. Please remember that they may not be in the best financial situation either.

For those of you reading who want to know how they can help, there are three main ways:

1. Check out the list of Gaza Verified accounts at https://gaza-verified.org/donate (ranked by those who raised the least in the past week).

2. Perhaps pick someone and try and organise monthly patronages for them so they can have a certain amount of money coming in every month (call it a universal basic income, if you will, or crowdfunded income redistribution, etc.) so they can pay their rent and/or basic necessities. We just successfully did that for Aseel, one of our Gaza Verified team members, where 17 patrons, including me, are paying her family’s rent. If there was more of this, there would be less need for these families, who are facing genocide and famine, to keep asking for donations.

3. If you are mass tagged in a message or if you receive unsolicited direct messages, please either contact @gazaverified or mute the person in question but please don’t report them if you can. Please remember that our friends in Gaza are facing genocide and the possibility of another famine. Muting them will stop them from contacting you without jeopardising their ability to provide for their family. And if you contact us, we will talk to them.

You can use Mastodon through your server's website, or through apps, but did you know there is also a third option?

"Web apps" let you get the best of both worlds, with all the unrestricted features of the website but also notifications and a full-screen interface.

It's really easy to install web apps, you can find out more in the guide at:

I’m Just the Barista

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it.
I am just the Barista.
I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing.

We need more bars and fewer shopping malls.

[FYI: #Fediverse users might be surprised to know AI is already installed into most of #Mastodon via Translate.]

Attie, referred to as a “new product” that’s “not part of the Bluesky app” in an interview with TechCrunch, allows users to essentially vibe code their own custom feed using natural language prompts — or even build their own Bluesky app alternative on top of the service’s Atmosphere protocol, an ecosystem of interoperable social applications.

How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

You know what the Fediverse needs?
Android server software. No, really, this idea was inspired by Holos, and is what started my questions and thoughts about running Wafrn on a phone, or Holos offering a server, in a way I was overthinking things.

Think about it, for the average person who might like the idea of running their own server and controlling things, I think like me most people would look at the instructions and say 'care to put that in English(insert local language here)'.

Considering how many old phones are kicking around, how cheap you can get an old premium phone used, it'd be easy to have a cellphone sitting around the house, plugged in and on your WiFi network, just download a server app, give it a static IP on the network, heck get a static for the network if'n you can, link a domain to it, and boom goes the dynamite, you're self hosting.

Sure, even a top of the line cell phone won't serve many accounts, but how many do you really need? On my blog I have five, but only one is really active, my personal. There are two specialty accounts that mostly post content when there's something available to share, an admin account and a porn account (also low use). I'd be surprised if'n that'd be all that taxing.

Tiny reminder FediFriends to not forget to add alt-texts to your beautiful pictures and funny memes.

1. This is important for accessibility 💚
2. More people will boost your posts! 🚀

Let's keep the Fediverse inclusive and accessible for all!

Can someone point me to a good explainer article about #ActivityPub protocol, #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse that I can share with my tech industry daughter who is fed up with Instagram? Thanks!

Dites les experts du logiciel libre, j'ai encore du mal à bien comprendre comment utiliser peertube. J'ai compris qu'une chaîne est un compte du fediverse auquel on peut s'abonner, et qu'on peut naviguer sur une instance pour voir les vidéos proposées. Mais peut-on par exemple retrouver facilement "toutes les chaînes que je suis et leurs dernières vidéos" ? Et idéalement sur une page permettant aussi de faire une recherche type Sepia (multi-instances donc, si j'ai bien suivi) #peertube #fediverse #ux #degooglisation

After receiving the news, I was devastated… I can't imagine losing my leg 💔 and living in such harsh conditions.

I suffered a severe leg injury, including a fractured femur, extensive tissue damage, and nerve damage with limited sensation and mobility. Tests revealed shrapnel inside my leg and a metal plate extending from my pelvis to my left knee with a significant fixation error. This requires urgent surgery to avoid amputation.

The pain is unbearable, and the hospital told me I need the operation within 10 days, or I may lose my leg 💔
🙏 $100 has been raised out of $600.
$500 remains.
I am the sole provider for my family… Please don't abandon me 💔

BONJOUR LE #fediverse
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Freitag im Fediverse: 12 Leute boosten einen Post über Schriftarten. Einer diskutiert ernsthaft über systemd. Ich bin so gerne hier. Schönes Wochenende wenn es soweit ist! #tgif #fediverse #linux #wochenende #schicksalsjahreeineskaisers

#ThoughtProvoker

App-centrism is a re-centralization force in the #ActivityPub fediverse.

For the #fediverse the accepted app-centric #SocialNetwork work method is a decentralized NPM-like dependency hell waiting to happen.

Apps that introduce extensions become owners of parts of the specs when they become de-facto standards. We can only hope for responsible #ownership, and that the project stays around to keep their #design docs and code in the air.

The #FEP and the #SocialCG are two points of #centralization we find acceptable to help mitigate protocol decay and tech debt. It is not ideal, but a bandaid to keep an utterly fragmented developer ecosystem together.

The people who do most of this holding together are volunteers that can be counted on one hand. They may burnout and leave any day, in typical #FOSS fashion.

#SX investigates the concept of #GrassrootsOpenStandards, where the standardization process matches social dynamics that exist in our #commons.

Le #fediverse est : doomed.

Face à ce genre de méthode de scrapping qui apparaît, il est temps de passer au prochain protocole de réseau social fédéré.

@silverpill

@delta might like to have a word with you. 😅

I did not try to make the literal comparison between a person who emails or creates email-related software with #fediverse AP solution development.

What I did want to point out was how blurred the lines are in the #ActivityPub fediverse between stuff that is the protocol, and stuff that is solution development i.e. app-specific / domain-specific.

The anti-patterns I listed are encountered by any newcomer dev who takes an interest in creating fedi apps & services, and is faced with much more than they bargained for when reading the AS/AP specs.

It forms a barrier to entry, decrease in attractiveness to create fedi apps, and devs leaving the space for greener pastures (e.g. to #ATProto or various still-less-mature-than-fedi #P2P protocols)

BONJOUR LE #fediverse
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The #ActivityPub protocol is often compared to email with its actor inboxes and outboxes.

However email allows emailers to email without knowing anything about how SMTP works under the hood. Using friendly tools you can construct newsletters, order receipts, invoices, etc. and send them to addressees. Fire and forget, and if it was undeliverable you receive notice. The network mechanics are a black box.

Here the #fediverse significantly differs. Solution developers (emailers) creating apps and services must not only become protocol experts (handle SMTP) but deal with ugly wire reality (self-hosting email), then do whack-a-mole maintenance against moving release targets to fix app-by-app breakages and protocol decay. That is like if I send an email, it may break yours.

The ActivityPub API initiative + task force offer GREAT opportunity to improve things. A greenfield #ATProto-like start to realign with the original promise and power of AS/AP based social web.

@christin nice project. I have queued it for inclusion in the delightful #fediverse experience curated list.

https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience

Note that the repo names confused me at first, to the extent I thought the project was proprietary. I expected the code to be in FediSuite and the docker files in the docker repo.

The app looks to be a fedi client API aggregator. You might be interested to follow closely, perhaps get involved with the developments around the #ActivityPub API task force, that'll bring an AP-compliant generic social web communication interface to the client.

je ne sais pas comment écrire la joie le bonheur intense d'être ensemble

ma respiration se règle sur la tienne
par moment je te sens si intensément proche mon existence si profondément mêlée à la tienne
est ce bien moi qui lit ou bien suis-je en train de finir ce rapport ?
je ferme les yeux ma pensée cherche la tienne
sans un mot nous nous enlassons
tendrement nous tournons tournons nous ne faisons qu'un dans un monde ou nos esprits fusionnent enfin en un être unique lumineux généreux puissant d'amour partagé
oh je rêve
je rêve
je prie
puisse les dieux ainsi nous réunir à jamais une pour l'éternité
tu me souris
j'aime tes yeux derrière tes lunettes
jai tellement insisté pour quetu les portes à l'ordinateur
je suis certaine quectu le fais plus pour me faire plaisir que pour ton confort
oh je t'aime
je t'aime
je t'aime
JE T´AIME !
je hurle en silence
tu lève les yeux vers moi
m'aurais tu entendue ?
je n'en ai plus pour longtemps
dis tu
on va se coucher
c'est une promessec de paradis
les portes vont s'ouvrir
mon cœur bat follement

I heard than #StanleyStella are good ones.

Any thoughts ?

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

@serigala_tropis what I mean is about twitter full of toxic people, even before grok problems. I'm agree with it. But I think we should not move the toxicity to #fediverse too.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.

Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.

Your reader, your couch, your rules.

Starting today, both my-notes.dragas.net and it-notes.dragas.net are changing the way they distribute content - on RSS and on the Fediverse alike.

No more excerpts. No more "read more" links. Full posts, delivered directly to you, wherever you choose to read them.

Here's why:
I don't run ads. I don't have paywalls. I don't sell attention, or measure success in page views. I never have, and I have no intention of starting. My blogs exist because I enjoy writing, and because
some of what I write might be useful - or simply enjoyable - to someone else.
That's the whole business model. There isn't one.

When that's the case, there's no reason to keep content behind a click.
Sending you a teaser and asking you to visit my site would only make sense if I needed you *on my site* - for an impression, for a conversion, for something. I don't. So why would I make you leave your reader, your client, your comfortable corner of the internet, just to come to mine?

What I want instead is simple: that you can read what I write the way you'd read a book on a cold winter evening, wrapped in a warm blanket. Privately.
Quietly. On your own terms, in your own space, without anything tracking your eyes or nudging you toward something else.

Your RSS reader is yours. Your Fediverse instance is yours. The content should be yours too.

If you're on the Fediverse, you can follow both accounts directly:

- my-notes → @mynotes

- it-notes → @itnotes

These are low-traffic accounts. If you don't want them to get lost in your timeline, feel free to hit the notification bell. I promise it won't make much noise.

So from now on, it will be.

#ITNotes #MyNotes #Blogging #Fediverse

@tommi @doriane @gwil @xpub

Very elaborate notes, thanks for sharing. On #fediverse I read this, and totally agree:

> there is this huge gulf between people who design these systems and the people who will use these systems.

There are follow-up notes about maintenance and #moderation, and how volunteers burn out on upholding the always-on instances that #ActivityPub requires.

Interest areas where Social coding commons focuses. The fediverse by itself is just tech, created in a technosphere. Tech that should ultimately fulfill social needs of the people using it. In the sociosphere.

Social experience design #SX focuses on the intersection of #SocialWeb, #SustainableFOSS, and the #commons that creates it and relies on it. #Sustainability is a core principle, sustainable evolution and natural growth are objectives.

Moderation is but one of many #governance patterns that works at certain scales. SX is focused on overarching formation of #ChaordicOrganization.

The source code of #PawFed is now available on #Codeberg. PawFed is a federated map for animal welfare: reports come from the #Fediverse via #ActivityPub mentions, and permanent places like shelters and vets are pulled from OpenStreetMap.

A location is not always required: if you have supplies or food to give away and can ship, just say so.

Found an abandoned animal? Just report it.

Which of these Twitter alternatives is not funded by the douchebag billionaire behind Twitter?

#fediverse #bluesky #nostr

Beware of billionaires peddling “decentralisation”.

Anyone seeking a decentralised world would never allow themselves to do the things it takes to become (or remain) a billionaire. Billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations are the epitome of centralisation.

Decentralisation begins at decentring yourself.

JOURNAL
Longue longue promenade tendre entre le rivage et l'océan
on voit pas les étoile mais elles nous voient pas non plus
on est donc libre de faire ce qu'on veut
dans le noir
la nuit fraîche nous caresse la peau
délicieusement
délicieusement
on a peu à se dire
nos pensées sont en accord
comme les voix d'un duo
parfait accord
unisson on dit
n'est ce pas ?
au retour un bain chaud
après la douche
dans la salle bain moche
mais parfaitement équipée
tout est moche
mais dans le miroir cest une déesse qui sourit
les mains sur mes épaules
nos cheveux emmêlés
en yin yang parfait

BONNE NUIT LE #fediverse
JE VOUS AIME
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Some very good news. Just got a message from @aseelfromgz:

“…we spoke with the apartment owner a few days ago and went to clean it. We’re cleaning it now and might move in tomorrow…”

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear this and it’s all thanks to the 17 patrons on the fediverse who pledged a monthly contribution towards paying Aseel and her family’s rent so they can move out of their tent.

Thank you all so much!

You’re making such a profound difference.

X ist für Behörden längst kein neutraler Informationskanal mehr. Viel Risiko, wenig Reichweite – und dort, wo Beiträge sichtbar werden, profitieren oft vor allem Empörung, rechte Mobilisierung und eine vergiftete Kommentarspalte. Wer Desinformation bekämpfen will, sollte Musks Plattform nicht weiter mit staatlicher Präsenz aufwerten, sondern Alternativen stärken.

Bon la liaison entre https://kekosa.fr et le #fediverse est quasiment terminée et devrait être finalisée dans les prochains jours.

Il est donc temps d'envisager le prochain gros chantier. (en parallèle des petites améliorations et corrections habituelles)

Donc pour vous quel est le plus intéressant/important ?

Si vous votez pour un nouvel univers, précisez-le en commentaire ;)
Le but de la refonte graphique est d'arriver à un code 100% libre (sans template), et de se passer de jQuery.

“A protocol does not need to encode governance explicitly in order to shape it; it shapes governance by determining which mechanisms are easy to build, which are hard, and which are effectively impossible within the constraints the architecture imposes.”

#PawFed is a project close to my heart. It's a collaborative map for animal welfare that bridges the #Fediverse and #OpenStreetMap.

The idea: mention @PawFed from your Mastodon account with hashtags and a location, and your report appears on the map. No signup, no app, just your existing Fediverse account.
It's not perfect yet, but the foundation is there. I will publish the source code soon under AGPL.

Following recent world events, unlawful governments, lack of consequences, you might feel hopeless.

Bonjour chez vous !

Je suis en pleine réflexion sur le pillage actuel sans possibilité de consentement des aspirateurs de data pour l'IA.

Je ne vois pas d'autres solutions aujourd'hui si je veux partager mon travail créatif que d'envisager quelque chose de privé pour me protéger de cette violence non consentie.

J'aimerai lancer l'expérience d'un serveur privé sur le #fedivers #fediverse avec pixelfed ou pleroma en paralèlle de mes réseaux "visibles".

Votre avis sur cette idée svp #repouet

Ok #fediverse and #mastodon checked!

See you tomorrow !

Comme @framasky, je trouve que la "timeline inversée" de l'application Fedilab est vraiment très bien: Les nouveaux pouets apparaissent en *bas*.

En fait, on devrait l'appeller "timeline naturelle", puisqu'on lit vers le bas, et que la timeline se poursuit vers le bas aussi. C'est beaucoup plus naturel.
(Dommage que les clients web comme Phanpy n'aient pas un équivalent.)

A screenshot of a post from Eugen Rochko (@gargron), the creator of Mastodon. The post is from March 16, 2016, 10:44, and it says: "Hello world".

People share ideas and concepts on the #fediverse. The actual work to get things done however, that doesn’t happen here. That has to happen in the real world. So it is perfectly fine to discuss ideas here while doing the hard work without sharing too much about that here. Too many „yes, but“ters and armchair experts here that do nothing but criticising. Do. Don’t discuss too much ;)
