We are #Ikiya and we are finally on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse !

We are a small #Japanese shop located in Treviso, near Venice, and we focus on bringing to Italy a selection of Japanese teas (such as #matcha), ingredients for your recipes, kimono and haori, handmade pottery and much more.

We would like to start leaving mainstream social media for good to connect with our customers in a different way, and this is our first step towards a better communication.

Happy to be here!

Elisabetta, a person with short gray hair, stands in a tea shop with a cheerful expression. She is wearing a black top and holding two items: a small, elegant tea tin with a floral design and a transparent bag filled with loose tea. Behind her, wooden shelves display an assortment of colorful tea tins, boxes, and accessories, contributing to the shop's cozy and organized ambiance.

Antonella, a person with long curly hair and glasses, stands indoors in a tea shop. She is wearing a light gray turtleneck sweater and is smiling at the camera. In her hands, she holds a yellow bag of Japanese tea with Japanese characters printed on it and a small, intricately designed tea tin. The background shows shelves with various tea products and decorative items, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

on est rentrées
on a compté les gouttes
il y en a beaucoup
on sort d'un bain bien chaud qui prépare un nuit confortable
la chambre est moche mais une fois la lumière éteinte ça a pas d'importance
dans le lit il y aura deux filles pour s'aimer
on ferme pas les rideaux on a presque l'impression de dormir sous le ciel
sans être mouillées
puis comme ça on les voit pas les rideaux
moches
mais dehors cest l'océan le ciel et la pluie
rien que de la beauté sauvage
beauté dehors
beauté dans la chambre
je regarde ton corps
merde qu'est ce que tu est belle

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)

Ist es ein „Hot Take“, wenn ich sage, dass ich mich mit #ArchLinux langsam ausgespielt habe? 🐧💨

Nach der ganzen Bastelei sehne ich mich nach etwas mehr Konservatismus, ohne auf aktuelle Pakete zu verzichten.

Mein Blick wandert aktuell stark Richtung #openSUSE Tumbleweed oder vielleicht sogar ein immutables #Fedora.

Ist das der natürliche Alterungsprozess eines Linux-Users oder einfach der Wunsch nach einem System, das „einfach funktioniert“?

Wer hat den Wechsel von Arch zu etwas „Gefestigterem“ schon hinter sich?

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.

JOURNAL
je ne sais pas comment écrire la joie le bonheur intense d'être ensemble
juste la
avec toi
je te regarde
nous respirons le même air
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

BONNE NUIT LE #fediverse
JE VOUS AIME

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.)

#FediGames

You said a lot of toxics on Twitter X, but what you are doing here in #fediverse are spreading hate and doxing people who thinks differently with you.

May I laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@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.

Meet Fedibook!

The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.

So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.

Current status:

- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server only

Hoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.

Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺

We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.

We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

A yellow Mastodon mascot plushie, known as "Voltodon," sits centered against a vibrant purple Volt Europa flag. The plushie is round and soft, with small black vertical oval eyes, white tusks, and a short trunk. It wears a black baseball cap featuring the Volt logo: the word "Volt" in white text, surrounded by a circular crown of twelve stars in various colors (yellow, green, blue, and red). The background is a deep purple fabric flag with the large, white, sans-serif letters "Volt" partially visible behind the plushie. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the contrast between the sunny yellow of the Voltodon and the signature purple of the Volt brand. The overall vibe is friendly, cute, and politically engaged, symbolizing the intersection of the Volt Europa movement and the Fediverse community.

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.

@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.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

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

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

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a chair.

💺 🪑

Have you sat on a chair?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

"They Live" (1988)

They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live.

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.

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.

2/

Because most people wouldn't be able to add custom attributes or custom values to most Fediverse software (including Mastodon) —

Most supporting software would probably want to support a "PropertyValue" link in "attachment" field as a fall-back

For example:

"attachment": [
{
"type": "PropertyValue",
"name": "Video Calls (callpub)",
"value": "https://videocalls.example/users/joeblow"
}

But —

...

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

3/

But, what about the non- fall-back situation where software could properly support this (when an Actor specifies a list of Service actors associated with it)‽

I think some might say, put the associated Service actors in "attachment". And, semantically I think that would work with ActivityPub, but — I have a very strong dislike with putting everything in "attachment" (and "tag"). It makes parsing difficult.

So —

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

Hey everyone,

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

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser 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):

4/

Looking for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of Service actors associated with it) —

I think using "alsoKnownAs" or "sameAs" would be a poor choice. The semantics are wrong.

For example: a Service actor might represent my mobile phone (or software on it). My phone is not me. It is something I have.

So —

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

5/

Continuing to look for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of Service actors associated with it) —

I think "endpoints" would also be a poor choice, too. Again, the semantics are wrong, or at least lacking.

So —

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

6/

Continuing to look for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of Service actors associated with it) —

Maybe a custom top-level attribute would be useful.

Maybe something like:

"service": [
{
"rel":"callpub",
"href":"https://videocalls.example/users/joeblow"
}
]

Although perhaps that is not much better than "attachment", if you just care about calls

So —

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

7/

Continuing to look for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of CALL Service actors associated with it) —

Maybe a call specific custom top-level attribute would be useful.

Maybe something like:

"call": [
{
"rel":"callpub",
"href":"https://videocalls.example/users/joeblow"
}
]

Or even:

"call": [
"href":"https://videocalls.example/users/joeblow"
]

.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

1/

AFAIK, there isn't a way for an ActivityPub Actor (such as a Person actor) to specify a list of Service actors associated with it.

...

For example, imagine that there is a Service actor that represents a way to make a video call to me.

And, for example, I have my Mastodon Person actor.

And, I want to let people know about it (and other Service actors associated with me).

How do I do that using AP, etc?

...

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

I just visited the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS and noticed that they have a @Mastodon icon / link in their social media navigation bar in the upper right side of the screen.

This is simply AMAZING!!!

Heute auf der Podiumsbühne in der BW-Landesvertretung das Fediverse als Vorbild für eine Europäische Medienplattform empfohlen.

Anschließend gefragt worden, "was zum Teufel" das #Fediverse ist.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

#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.

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

In the foreground, silhouettes of palm trees and street lamps line a quiet esplanade, adding to the peaceful ambiance of the dawn. The light from the sun reflects off the wet sand of the beach and a road, enhancing the golden hues of the morning.

#Fediverse #Android #Application
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.

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 ;)

We accepted these constraints for #Fedilab: donation links removed, Mastodon account registration disabled, and #PeerTube search results filtered. The rules are enforced by a bot: you receive a screenshot of what was flagged, and you either fix it or your app is rejected. We will not accept the same for #HolosSocial. Asking a #Fediverse app to moderate its content is like asking a browser to moderate the web.

Hello, Fediverse!

I think it's time for an #introduction to the broader audience of the fediverse.

We're the Dark Blue Project, an independent project based in Germany, which publishes content about free and open source software and educate about it. Our primary mission is to inform people about free and open source software and help them with using it.

At the time of writing this, the project is under active construction. Feel free to let a follow here and stay tuned for exciting things coming in the future.

See you!

J’aimerais créer un compte sur une instance #PeerTube pour y publier mes contenus autour d’un sujet qui me tient à cœur : la souveraineté numérique.

J’ai déjà fait plusieurs demandes d’inscription, mais les validations peuvent parfois prendre jusqu’à 13 jours… 😅

Si une âme charitable a la possibilité de me donner un petit coup de pouce ou même de m’accueillir sur son instance je lui en serais vraiment reconnaissant 🙏

Merci d’avance pour votre aide

The #fediverse is a consensus between app #developers on the app #features they want to spend time on to connect with the next app.

Taking care of their own herd, the users that flocked to their platform, they form narrow #interoperability bridges, so a user may graze a bit of the grass in the adjacent meadow that is owned by a fellow dev.

Until now this #app-centric land ownership model works quite well, as a recent #poll with delightful outcome among the lifestock has shown. And for every new land owner we can just build exponential more bridges to connect them all. Right?

@applepine yes. I held this poll a couple days ago, with delightful results on the social experience of the current #fediverse: Dispersed cozy villages with here and there a bustling city..

https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116154415408228188

That is a great outcome, and something to cherish and protect.

Currently I feel the slow growth of the #ActivityPub fediverse is healthy and natural growth we can cope with. And #Bluesky being the lightning rod for corporate attention, borrows more time to mature and evolve.

The #SocialWeb dynamics will totally change if the technology adoption lifecycle gets beyond early adopter phase, and 1,000's of commercial vendors start to launch products in this new market space that we, pioneers, made available to them.

The question is whether we can handle that. I think currently we cannot and we have to hand over fedi's fate to the market and hope for the best.

It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.

It’s wild that I even have to write this.

Yesterday I couldn't fall asleep.

Tried the usual things. Put the phone down. Pick it back up. Scroll a bit. Repeat. My brain clearly had a couple background processes running.

Even the #fediverse didn't calm it down.

Eventually I opened #Libby to browse my local library. I noticed it now has AI search and recommendations (didn’t try it, not the point of this story).

What caught my attention instead: magazines.

I opened one, I think it was #NatGeo, and started reading an article about why #Vikings disappeared from Greenland, and why it’s even called Greenland in the first place.

Ten minutes later I was asleep.

It reminded me how much I like small, contained stories. A beginning, an end, a few interesting facts. No infinite scroll.

Books sometimes feel like a HUGE commitment these days unless they’re audiobooks. But a random magazine article? Perfect patch for an overactive brain.

I see the #fedi announcement by a commercial marketing agency of a venture capital based app store joining the fediverse.

Is the #fediverse we have capable of avoiding #enshittification as it grows and attracts an increasing number of corporations, who make it their market?

Is our #ActivityPub landscape resistant to corporate capture and eventual takeover and domination? Just like the Corporate Web, also decentralized.

There are nice niches on the web, like a bloggosphere, bulletin boards, and news readers, that all still exist. But web as a whole is predominantly corporate, arguably not commons based, for the people by the people.

Social experience design defines "commons based" as "where people are in control of their future on a path of healthy evolution and natural growth". A core principle is being sustainable at all times, and timely acknowledge and mitigate risks.

Is fediverse commons based? Did we cocreate the Future of Social networking?

Good morning, #Fediverse

It's sunny (though some rain is expected). I've had my espresso, and my mood is currently positive. All the bad thoughts I had yesterday evening are now something like "well, I can deal with it". And that's good.

I've almost finished my next IT Notes blog post. I'll try to review and polish it so I can finally make it public.

Meanwhile, have a great day!

Hello Mastodon users, I'm working on migrating to a new instance since Med-Mastodon is shutting down.

When I go to Account > Account Settings > Move to a Different Account, I enter my new Mastodon handle (with an "@" in front of it) and old account password, I'm getting error messages in the new handle and the password fields.

I've tried resetting my password. I've tried a few times. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. I need to go to bed, but hope to receive ideas.

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:

• 🍉Braa🇵🇸🍉 (@braa)
• Mona (@monaashqer)

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):

A bit spammy, maybe, but not intended to be:

In Germany, a company that makes brooms and other cleaning utensils called Andreas Bürsten @buersten is very active on the #Fediverse. During the many discussions here, they listened to the wishes of our weird and wonderful community. May I present: The "Regenbogen". Clean your house and patio in style. With a statement of inclusion :) (They only ship to Germany and no, I am not getting paid. I just *love* their approach)

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.

#ActivityPub support in #Madblog

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

If you want to test it out, search for this URL on your Fediverse client.

Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

mkdir -p ~/madblog/markdown
cat <<EOF > ~/madblog/markdown/hello-world.md
# My first post

This is my first post on [Madblog](https://git.fabiomanganiello.com/madblog)!
EOF

docker run -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v "$HOME/madblog:/data" \
  quay.io/blacklight/madblog

And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

• Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

• Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

• Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

• Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

• Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

• Support for hashtag federation

• Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

• Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

• Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

• A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

• My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

• The #Platypush blog: @blog

Every day I’m more convinced that the Fediverse’s slow mainstream adoption isn’t really about usability.

People say it’s because it’s hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps aren’t polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestly… look at the platforms people already use.

Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.

None of these platforms are exactly “easy.”

People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because that’s where the conversation already lives.

And, if we’re honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because there’s a constant reward for doing so.

So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.

But what would help even more is something simpler:
more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.

That’s how networks grow.
People follow people not platforms.

@aSweetGentleman I have to admit, to be on the #fediverse since Dec 2024 and only discover #monsterdon now is kinda impressive. I gotta believe that, for basically every mastodon server, it is the most intense traffic hour of the week. 😃 I swear we are the single biggest reason that anyone learns how to mute a hashtag.

#MastoHelp Je me souviens d'une intervenante (via un extrait vidéo d'une conférence) qui parlait de protection des données personnelles et qui disait notamment avec gravité "Les données, c'est des gens" (pour expliquer notamment que des données mal protégées pouvaient mettre des personnes en danger).
Est-ce que ça évoque quelque chose à quelqu'un, un nom, un lien ?...

Advertisement for the California Computer Show, May 14th–15th, 1985, 12:00pm–6:00pm, at the Palo Alto Hyatt Hotel, 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California. "California Computer Show" is written in large pink cursive script with drop shadows over a gray grid pattern. Tagline at the bottom reads: "Northern California's only TWO-DAY event dedicated exclusively to OEMs and sophisticated end users."

When someone asks me what the #Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

As you know I am proponent to emphasize the social aspects more, to drive healthy evolution of the #SocialWeb.

The app-centric #fediverse is a pure technosphere, where a tech-first approach deals with getting app features to the next app, and the #ActivityPub protocol matures via post-facto 'follow-the-leader' #interoperability. What happens in the sociosphere between people using the tech is de-facto of secondary concern, and apps are tweaked to try to deal with externalities. The resulting social landscape has become one of neighboring app kingdoms with guarded borders separating them. Everyone speaks microblog to each other, albeit with thick accents, hard to understand. The fediverse is social *because* of the people, and despite of the tech, that still severely restrains them.

It would be nice if the track name not just indicated a technology name. E.g. https://coding.social uses:

- Fediverse, a peopleverse
- #ReimagineSocial
- #SocialNetworkingReimagined

Je n'aime pas #Bluesky et je suis persuadé que ça va prendre la même direction que #X, il y a déjà des exemples de modération sur certains sujets.

Si j’y ai un compte, c’est uniquement pour y faire la promotion du #Fediverse et j’utilise très peu. Je publie d'ailleurs depuis #Friendica qui a l'avantage d’être compatible à la fois avec Bluesky et avec le Fediverse.

Si vous utilisez néanmoins ce réseau, je vous invite à migrer vos données personnelles vers #Eurosky ce qui permettra de déplacer votre identité vers un PDS européen. Ça ne changera pas le fait que le réseau reste américain, mais ça limitera un peu l'adhérence à ce pays.

Si ça vous intéresse, allez vous inscrire ici : https://www.eurosky.tech/

Pour moi la migration a parfaitement fonctionné, vous ne perdez rien, ni vos abonnés ni vos publications. J’ai même conservé mon nom de domaine personnalisé.

Merci à @optimistique33 qui m'avait incité à regarder.

#ATProto #ActivityPub

Soyons clairs : le réseau #Bluesky est et reste américain.

Ça ne fonctionne pas comme le #Fediverse, il n’y a pas d'instance Bluesky distincte.

Avec #Eurosky ce ne sont que vos données d’identité qui migrent en Europe. Le réseau #Bsky, sa modération, etc. restent sous contrôle de l’entreprise qui est sous allégeance US.

Mais il faut bien commencer quelque part, et la gestion de l'identité est une première brique fondamentale pour ça.

Ne négligez pas : si on veut sortir du joug américain cela ne pourra se faire que progressivement et par étapes. Si on ne commence pas parce que ça reste encore imparfait et incomplet, il ne faudra pas s'étonner dans quelques années qu’il ne nous restent que des yeux européens pour pleurer...

One more reason, among their financial generosity, to thanks you instance's admin is as follow :

when they did set up the server of one software enabling the #fediverse, they intentionaly included a keyword indicating which software or goal is intented .

Examples:
pics . domain . name implies it's a @pixelfed instance ;
tube . domain . name suggest it's a @peertube

This non-official rule is much useful when looking for a user, and you don't know *which* result is the "right" account.

It turns out the #Fediverse can bring in more web traffic than Instagram, if you aggregate those decentralised sources.

A thought experiment on how long-tail effects mean federated social media will always appear irrelevant as a traffic source, even when it isn't.

Europa will „eigene Plattformen“ bauen. Das klingt stark. Aber es ist der alte Reflex: Wir bauen ein neues Instagram. Genau da verbrennt man Geld. Denn eine zentrale Plattform braucht Wachstum um jeden Preis. Werbung. Tracking, also heimliches Mitlesen fürs Geld. Und am Ende wieder Abhängigkeit von einem Betreiber. Das ist nicht souverän.
