How many servers have you hopped on since coming to #fediverse ?

I recreated an old diagram in Excalidraw that I spread about a couple years ago, and made it a bit more informative. Explanation can be found in the #AltText

Diagram. Interoperability in practice. A chart with a horizontal axis that goes in 2 directions. On the left it moves towards chaotic grassroots growth, and on the right side towards open standards adoption. The Y-axis indicates level of complexity. The center indicates a low level of complexity. On the left side of the axis we first find the ActivityPub open standard, with a relatively low complexity level. However the prevailing method to evolving the ecosystem is driven by post facto interoperability, where tech debt and protocol decay is introduced and accepted, which must be refactored and evolve alongside the open standard. Since this doesn’t happen, the fediverse grassroots environment is shifting more to the left into non-lineary increasing accidental complexity. Deviating more and more from the ActivityPub standard and the promise that it holds to offer the Future of Social networking. On the right side, to contrast against fediverse, we find the Solid Project led by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, which is based on a whole range of W3C Linked Data related open standards and draft documents. There is no grassroots movement that drives progress, but a steering committee. Progress is restrained by open standards adoption and support. Higher levels of interoperability require more rigour and formal standardization, and this also leads to non-linear growth of, in this case, engineered complexity. Solution developers have to wait for many standards to mature, leading to inertia.

Thank you. Yes, indeed. As it happens I was just in chat with Sébastien yesterday. They'll give a presentation at the #Solid Practitioners Meetings on the 5th of March.

#ActivityPods is positioned to bring "app development" to the intersection of the #ActivityPub and #SolidProject ecosystems, and that is very valuable. And also an #OpenStandards focused initiative.

I have revamped the #fediverse delightful lists to de-emphasize app domains and apps that have already established themselves, to highlight the innovative projects that can bring fedi to higher levels. @activitypods is on the developer list.. https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-development/#application-development

They are well positioned to offer the 'Solution developer' stakeholders an attractive set of tools. And the opportunity is to marriage the best of 2 worlds. Which is at the same time the big challenge, coping with the worst of 2 worlds. The other day I tooted about this here: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116113963712755122

BONJOUR LE #fediverse

I scanned your comments (so far) in a previous poll for Mastodon mobile app mentions, and made a list sorted by frequency. I put the top four most mentioned mobile apps into this poll.

Honorary mentions to #Moshidon, #Ivory, #Trunks, #Toot, and #Tusker.

What mobile app do you use to access Mastodon the most?

Feel free to boost for a larger sample.

@twizzay, I feel this toot was worthy of you.

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

JOURNAL
je sais pas pourquoi je me suis réveillée brutalement
j'ai pas réveillée ma chérie
jai dormi une heure et boum je me réveille d'un coup
je me souviens pas de quoi je rêvais mais c'était pas un cauchemar
j'ai plus de cauchemars
j'étais pas bourrée mais je me suis endormie instantanément
il fait pas très froid ni très chaud
il pleut doucement
on entend l'eau s'écouler des toits cest rassurant je trouve
je vais boire un verre d'eau et me recoucher j'ai soif
BONNE NUIT LE #fediverse
JE VOUS AIME
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Sireen Mohammed (@sireen123)
• Saeed Mahmoud (@saeed200)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

Avis aux amateurs de décentralisation ! 🌐
Je viens de valider ma présence sur @HolosDiscover. C'est le moteur de recherche éthique qu'il nous fallait pour explorer Mastodon et au-delà.

On se retrouve là-bas ? 😉

Da ist das gute Stueck und bekommt sofort die neue @pop_os_official Version verpasst 😍

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Mittwoch. Alles wird gut 🖖

​Eine Aufnahme eines schwarzen Lenovo ThinkPad Laptops, der aufgeklappt auf einem hellen Holztisch steht. ​Bildschirm: Das Display zeigt den Installationsbildschirm für das Linux-Betriebssystem Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. In der Mitte ist ein Menü geöffnet, in dem der Nutzer aufgefordert wird, eine Sprache auszuwählen („Select a Language“), wobei „English“ aktuell markiert ist. Links im Installationsfenster ist ein kleines Roboter-Maskottchen zu sehen. Am unteren Bildschirmrand befindet sich ein Dock mit verschiedenen App-Icons. ​Hardware: An der linken Seite des Geräts ist ein weißer USB-Stick (mit einem Adapter) angeschlossen, der offensichtlich als Installationsmedium dient. Die Tastatur hat neben dem klassischen roten TrackPoint in der Mitte zweisprachig bedruckte Tasten (Englisch und Arabisch). Auf der linken Handballenauflage klebt ein Badge für einen AMD Ryzen 7 PRO Prozessor.

I reworked it, and now it's way prettier! 💎👇🏻

My always up-to-date sheet with almost 1300 official accounts by media organizations that you can follow from #Mastodon and everywhere else in the #Fediverse.

➡️ https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html

You can show/hide columns, there is a powerful custom search and a button to download an CSV with the handles of all visible accounts for import. There's also the language, the country of origin, and a direct link.
