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:

• (@Aishajoweria)
• Suwar_From_Gaza (@Suwar_From_Gaza)

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.

La stratégie "réseaux mainstream", est compréhensible.

Mais aussi ces arguments :
- se construire une alternative au cas où bloqué sur les #GAFAM,
- permettre aux gens qui suivent #LFI de ne pas se faire profiler sur youtube/X/Instagram en créant l'équivalent sur le #fédiverse,
- participer à l' #éthique du #numérique, montrer la voie, DONNER L'EXEMPLE en invitant dès à présent à les suivre sur #Peertube #Mastodon etc,
- et donc aussi aider à protéger les #lycéens du #profilage !!

👍

We will be phasing out communityDB in favour of a more accessible alternative, a fediverse native wiki that you login with your existing fediverse account.

Podcast Projets Libres épisode 76 : Wordpress, ta maison dans le web social décentralisé

@tootbrute

The idea that #fediverse is a unified social space we share together is interesting, and can help improve "storytelling" about fedi.

"Logging in" is a tad technical. We might de-emphasize the technical environment, and highlight that we're in social space. Then we "access/enter the fediverse", "have our home on the fediverse", "I meet you on the fediverse", we share communal gardens, speak of "social fabric", cohesion, connection, inclusion, have inter-community interaction. That kind of thing.

Oof. Until now at least one third of respondents to my #poll feel that it is okay to just refer to #mastodon, when meaning the #fediverse. How is the general public ever going to learn all the fedi and #ActivityPub has to offer, if their judgment is based on this narrow category word that means "microblogging", just one of many fediverse application domains?

Has "Mastodon" become a category name, rather than a product / brand name? In a similar way "Jeep" became a category word for "all-terrain vehicle".

So often I see people use #Mastodon, where they refer more broadly to #fediverse. And I think "How about all the other fine #microblogging apps other than Mastodon?"

Look how many others there are: https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/#microblogging

Nice article, thank you! Fairly early after launch many on the #fediverse were like "ROFL 🤣 Threads failed already". I have a different opinion.

TL;DR Meta had different strategic goals, and Threads was a resounding success.

#Threads wasn't announced with the same fanfare as Metaverse before, and Pervert Glasses or Muse today, where The Zuck was hauled into the marketing mix to make a clumsy weirdo appearance. Fedi was never a threat to Meta, but should it become so, they are now prepared. Or when another platform, perhaps #Bluesky, becomes a threat.

#EU regulations + politics may have played a role, as @laurenshof alluded to at the time. But Threads was proof that Meta could quickly build production-ready services on the Instagram tech stack to compete in the market. They testdrove a new agile engineering culture.

Should Meta decide to go all-in there's little defense in fedi's chaotic grassroots ecosystem to stave off an eventual EEE.

Salut le Fediverse francophone 👋

Ces derniers jours, plusieurs pannes chez des opérateurs en France nous ont rappelé une chose simple : nos outils de communication dépendent de quelques infrastructures. En Iran, nous l'avons appris de la manière la plus dure. En 2026, pendant les coupures d'Internet, les SMS, le téléphone et même les messageries nationales sont tombés. Ce qui a tenu, ce sont les serveurs que nous avions préparés à l'avance : des relais Delta Chat/chatmail, Matrix, Jitsi.

Delta Chat fonctionne sur n'importe quel serveur e-mail ou relais chatmail, sans numéro de téléphone, et un profil peut utiliser plusieurs relais. Avec Madmail, monter un relais chatmail se fait en une seule ligne de commande. Plus il y a de petits relais et d'instances Mastodon communautaires, gérés par des gens qui se connaissent, moins tout repose sur un seul maillon.

Ce n'est pas de l'alarmisme. On prépare ces choses avant d'en avoir besoin, pas pendant la panne. Si vous avez un petit serveur, une asso, un hackerspace, pensez-y : un relais chatmail, une instance Mastodon locale, un Jitsi, et installez Delta Chat avec vos proches dès maintenant.

Avec solidarité, depuis l'Iran 💚

@rauschma two reasons you have to take your result with a big grain of salt:

* the question is in English, so many (most?) people that speak those languages might not be able to read it, or even filter out the language entirely.
* even with 1.8k boosts (!!!), you might not reach all the fediverse[1]
* (The Spanish Inquisition reason) not everyone like answering polls :)

my home is at https://ultramookie.com where i should be spending more time writing.

Whenever people promote the Fediverse they usually start with the philosophy of the technical side. And then go on to define it by what it is not.

That's fine. And for many that's how they came here. But is that really why most of us stay here?

For me the main feature of the Fediverse is simply that it offers me a lot of friendly, interesting and curious people that I enjoy interacting with.

WEIRD
depending on who is doing the metrics, Spanish is the second (# of sites) or third (% people) most used language on the internet.

my #fediverse multilingual anecdata is that Spanish is not only the 2nd most used language, but a big chunk of Spaniards are from “minority” languages; with Catalan, Euskera and Gallego leading the way.

my impression of el #fediverso is that most folks are from Spain, followed by Cono Sur, México, and a smattering of everybody else, esp Puerto Rico 😘✊🏽

Good night, federated friends, and everyone who comes across this message.

Thank you for the privilege of being here, federated, together.

#Goodnight #Fediverse

#MariaRessa -- 2021 winner of the Nobel peace prize -- talks about #Rappler (@rappler.com), the independent news platform she built for the #Philippines.
https://archive.is/uK6fQ

In the process, she talks about the problems with corporate social-media platforms, like #Facebook, and the important challenge of building decentralized platforms running on open standards. She mentions #Bluesky and #Matrix, but not #Mastodon, #ActivityPub, or #Fediverse, even though Rappler has a Mastodon account.

Hey everyone,

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

They are:

• (@hadeelfamily9)
• Nagham🍉🇵🇸 (@Nagham11)
• Julia Amal (@jojojulia)

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.

unfollowed @OlharDigital because just saw they are using #aislop images. can’t take the risk of boosting shit that may also be written by stochastic parrots.

i usually unfollow with nary a peep, but they are a major brazilian news source on the #fediverse. when it comes to #journalism and #news sources, it’s our duty to call that shit out.

Petit message aux utilisateurs du Fédiverse, et particulièrement de PeerTube 🙂

Je regardais récemment d'où provenaient les accès à mon instance PeerTube.

Sur un relevé de référents HTTP, j'arrive à 99 domaines différents pour 1 784 requêtes.

Attention : ce ne sont pas 1 784 spectateurs, une même lecture ou une page intégrant une vidéo peut générer plusieurs requêtes, mais cela donne quand même une bonne idée de la diffusion des contenus.

On y trouve des associations, des blogs, des établissements scolaires, des plateformes pédagogiques, des sites consacrés à la culture, à l'emploi, au vélo, ainsi que d'autres services du Fédiverse.

Et j'en suis ravi : c'est exactement à cela que doit servir PeerTube.

Mais il y a un petit paradoxe.

Parmi les sites que j'ai examinés, pratiquement aucun n'explique au visiteur que la vidéo qu'il regarde est diffusée grâce à PeerTube.

Quand elle est intégrée directement dans une page, quelqu'un peut ainsi regarder une vidéo hébergée sur une plateforme libre, fédérée, sans publicité et indépendante des géants du Web… sans jamais savoir que PeerTube existe.

C'est un peu dommage.

Quand vous utilisez un outil libre ou fédéré sur votre site, pensez à le créditer.

Un simple « Cette vidéo est hébergée avec PeerTube sur l'instance Mes Numériques » ou même « Vidéo diffusée avec PeerTube » peut suffire.

Pas pour faire de la publicité à tout prix, mais pour permettre à quelqu'un qui ne connaît que YouTube de découvrir qu'une autre façon de diffuser des vidéos existe.

Et si vous indiquez aussi l'instance qui vous héberge, c'est un petit geste supplémentaire envers les personnes et associations qui maintiennent ces infrastructures, souvent bénévolement et à leurs frais. ❤️

Utiliser le libre, c'est très bien.

Le rendre visible, c'est aussi aider à le faire connaître.

It looks like the Snabelen.no instance may need some fixes or updates.

Whether I was using bsd.cafe, kolektiva.social, or social.linux.pizza, I couldn’t see any previous posts from @nsf_iaa.

Is this an issue with Snabelen.no’s instance configuration, or is there something else preventing older posts from being federated?

Tomorrow is the submission deadline of an #EuropeanCommission grant for a pilot around youth and decentralized #SocialMedia. Contestants are given the choice to target either the #ActivityPub fediverse, or #ATProto atmosphere. Targeting both is also an option.

Competition is expected to be fierce. It will be quite interesting to see who the EC will pick as the winner, and what protocol their proposal is based on.

It is telling that there is only one pilot for either one or the other #SocialWeb protocol, and not two pilots, each for their own protocol. Though I hope that an AP-based #fediverse pitch will be granted, my gut feeling tells me they probably already made up their mind - driven by political and market(ing) forces - to select #atmosphere. Hope I'm proven wrong. Fediverse is the more "for the people, by the people" choice, and best fit to European culture and values imho, among others.

Results will be in near the end of the year.

Hi friends!

Now that littleFedi has been released and new instances are starting to appear, we can focus again on development and testing.

From now on, the littleFedi accounts on this instance will work like this:

The announcement - @littlefedi_official - account will be used for announcements: new releases and important communications. It will be a very low-traffic account, so I suggest following it with some attention. A new build, by the way, is not far away... 😉

There will also be an account dedicated to hints, where we will publish, notice the plural 😏, tips, tricks and useful little things about littleFedi. It does not exist yet, but I will create and announce it as soon as possible.

This account will remain more general, as it is now, although of course it will mainly talk about littleFedi.

This instance will remain our test instance. New builds and new features will be tested here before their public release.

For now, the littleFedi development model will also remain the same: the developers develop, fix, experiment and, when something is ready, a new version is released.

Open Source is freedom, not conformity.

littleFedi has its own history, its own way of growing and its own direction. We will keep following them, without trying to imitate a model just because it is the most common one in the Open Source world.

Open Source was born to let people do things differently.

littleFedi is free.

A network one company owns can be sold, shut down or turned against the people who built their lives on it. A network nobody owns can't.

The hardest part of joining the fediverse is the first 10 minutes.

https://fediverse.info fixes that.

Browse the Apps directory to pick a platform, the People directory to find folks to follow, and Starter Kits to build a feed fast.

Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #illumosCafe
Good morning, #Fediverse

Sunny and warm here, as usual. The day will be long and quite interesting. I'm waiting for a 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE', waiting for a 2FA code for a commercial "secure" VPN to arrive (spoiler: I've been waiting for more than one hour. Old man yells at bad and inefficient solutions), and I badly want a Tiramisu.

Meanwhile, here's a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. I like the geometry in this photo and the shadows.

I hope you'll have a great day!

Of all the ActivityPub servers that have ever been publicly available, how many do you think are still up today?

#EvanPoll #poll #fediverse #activitypub #sustainability

I want to publicly thank @dch
The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done.

One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.

The first public instance, my own @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.

I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.

There's a new very lightweight Fediverse platform that's just been released called littleFedi. You can follow its new official account at:

🌱 @littlefedi_official

Its official website including download and source code is at:

🌱 https://littlefedi.org

LittleFedi is intended for techy people who want to create their own Fediverse server using as few resources as possible.

It's written by @stefano (who also created the weather service FediMeteo).

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #FOSS #SelfHosting

LittleFedi is an excellent light weight but fully featured Fediverse platform (ActivityPub). I've been kicking tires and providing feedback on the test instance and excited for the first release to give it a go self-hosted.

@stefano has been leading a master class in community and developer relations. He has been stewarding the team and user community with enthusiasm and transparency. Congratulations to Stefano and the team.

Here's a great story of the project's genesis and journey. https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@littlefedi_official/01a0f644-8ed6-7a7d-ade6-46f4c0a74f41

If you are looking to make or are already making original #video content for the #Fediverse, that has artistic, educational, or entertaining intent to engage an audience, then come join us. We give all video creators 10GB's to start with and more added as needed.

(That may seem like it's not a lot but it is. I have 40 videos and I've only used 4.5GB's)

Request an account and tell us what kind of videos you make or want to make. We'll review it and let you know within 24hrs.

I just killed off my #Bluesky account today. I started out on it about a month ago to see what things were like over there. At first, it briefly felt nostalgic to me; I was having memories of 2007-2010 twitter when it wasn't blatantly corporate.

But, that feeling faded kinda quickly when I encountered Bluesky's algorithm. I was seeing the effect it had on users; there was an urgency for attention, jockeying for the quickest take on the trending topic, and the underlying quest for endless dopamine. People weren't communicating as much as they were performing for reactions.

I tried to find my groove, or my people... but I felt like I was in alien territory. When I caught myself looking up how to build a following on on that platform, that was the moment I pumped the brakes.

Who I am shouldn't require a strategy on how to win over internet strangers. I am the person I am because I am confident and comfortable with who I've become.

I closed the app, went back to the #fediverse.

I haven't logged back in to Bluesky in a few weeks.

Today, I decided to permanently logout.

i don't even think i stopped because of the internet. i think i stopped when they didn't print Larson anymore. i wish @farside_bot posted with #AltTxt so i can boost them, but… anyways… i missed your funny ass, Gary Larson. only on #Mastodon and the #fediverse do we meet again 😁

Bonjour le #Fédiverse, on se lève et on recommence.

@gotosocial is a fun free open Fediverse platform mainly aimed at people who want to create their own Fediverse server. It has some really nice features:

- Reply controls
- Long posts
- Rich text formatting
- Optional local-only post visibility
- Blocklists & allowlists

If you're not techy but want to make your own GTS server, there's a managed hosting service at https://fedihost.co/hosting/gotosocial

If you're techy and want to make your own GTS, manual docs are at https://docs.gotosocial.org

“How is it a genocide if their population is growing?” asks the totally normal, definitely not genocidal Zionist.

I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release.

Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them.

That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier...

There is a parallel between the #forkiverse server and AI. They vibed up a fediverse server. They didn’t know what it was, didn’t have passion or commitment to it. They didn’t realise that the hard part of hosting a server on the #fediverse is not standing up a slightly complicated software stack. It’s not even the money. It’s the care and labour showing up day after day. Anyone can pay a few bucks and get a server. Running it and making community and so on are what’s hard.

AI, if it does something useful, often does something superficial. But people don’t know what they don’t know. So they can’t tell how superficial it is or how wrong it is unless they know how to do the thing in the first place.

So these guys dabbled superficially in something they didn’t know or care deeply about. I suspect it is because they have access to real, high-powered marketing. And marketing their brand is super important. There’s no way to do much of that here. It’s hard to monetise this social media, but that’s a large part of why they use social media.

Bon bah manifestement je ne suis pas prêt de retourner sur Pixelfed. Et je vous déconseille d'y rester.

On sait depuis des années que le dev principal est un troll qui pense être le seul vrai mainteneur du Fediverse (quand bien même il a défendu la fédération avec Méta)
Il a eu aussi pas mal de positions gênantes et cringe sur le racisme et la trans identité.

Comme le projet était pas mal (et un des seuls de ce genre sur le fedi) on pouvait espérer en faire quelque chose, sans ce dev.

On apprend ci-dessous qu'il a foutu des instructions spécifiques dans le github du projet pour que le code de Pixelfed puisse être rédigé par des iag.
Bref, il n'y a plus rien à espérer.

Ich hab bei meinem Interview mit Stephanie (@ueckueck) noch einiges darüber gelernt, wie Reichweite im Fediverse funktioniert und was die Vorteile großer Server sind.

Schaut am Wochenende doch mal rein!

With @CoMaps now showing @mangroveReviews for some #OSM places, I went back to https://mangrove.reviews/ to contribute. Great to see you can log in with your OSM account and even link to it a previous local account you might have already used. And you can follow places on the #fediverse: I wrote one for my bushcare site which prompted me to follow @s-b72c26469af04f85 to see the next ones. Fun!
Only 3 reviews in #Meanjin so far, but never a better time to start than now!

A caricature-style image shows a bald person with glasses sitting at a desk, smiling and holding a white mug that says "Question Everything". The person wears a grey hoodie with a "CC BY SA" logo. On the desk sits a small white, fluffy dog, a stack of colorful books labeled "TECH & FOSS", "POLITICS", "MUSIC", and "BOOKS", a black mug with "Marmite Pete" on it, and a black ThinkPad laptop. A wooden block in the foreground reads "Pete Cannon Not a nutter", while a monitor in the background displays "peterc[@]th "peterc[@]thinkpad:~$". The background features a "Question Everything" poster, a black board with text including "LINUX" and "AI", and a bookshelf with a small penguin and a Union Jack flag.

How good is Fediverse security?

a SIEM for ActivityPub and the Fediverse???

Yeah, coming very soon....

#siem #activitypub #fediverse #activitysiem #mastodon #fediadmin

I don't know how to get the eyes or ears of any big #Fediverse movers or shakers, but if someone out there who is good with code wants to jump on a golden opportunity, one is presenting itself.

A couple of days ago, Tapas warned all their creators that they were going to be shutting down. If you're not familiar with it, Tapas is a webcomics platform, and basically the only decent-sized alternative to Webtoon.

If we could throw together some sort of ActivityPub-backed Webcomics platform, we could use it as a way to get a lot more people using Fediverse-adjacent technology.

I don't have the time or energy to do any of this myself, and I am not good at coding, but I have been doing webcomics since the 1990s, and have watched the rise and fall of Keenspot, Drunk Duck, Wordpress and the RSS era, and now the modern "Walmart for Webcomics" era. This is a huge opportunity to present the Fediverse as a viable alternative.

AFAIK the Elixir back-end of Pleroma/ Akkoma can be uses with the Mastodon web client. Bonfire's Elixir back-end, forked from a Pleroma fork, could be another option.

@sheogorath

@GossiTheDog would you recommend to lock down our accounts across the #fediverse? would that help anything?

Vor vier Jahren habe ich mir einen Mastodon-Server aufgesetzt. Ganz verstanden hab ich das mit dem Fediverse aber noch nicht. Deshalb bin ich nach Dresden gefahren und habe mir das Ganze nochmal von @ueckueck erklären lassen. Zwischendurch kam auch die Frage auf, ob es das #Fediverse überhaupt gibt.
Wir haben das Ganze für euch aufgenommen.

People who love photography in the #Fediverse are probably already aware of #Vernissage, an open source photo-sharing project.

It has its own API, but like I did with #Misskey a few months ago, I think I could bring it to #Fedilab.
The idea is to support its endpoints and map the responses to what the app already uses, especially since Fedilab has a media-only view.

What do you think?
