social.dk-libre.fr is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I have run out of cooking gas, so I had to light a fire to prepare food for my children.
These are the harsh conditions in which I live—conditions that the entire world can see. Do I not have the right—just like any other mother in this world—to stand in a proper kitchen and prepare a meal for my children? How much longer? How much longer?😔🙏

Following on from my old “how long have you been using computers” polls from a long time ago, here’s one I’ve wanted to ask for a while.
How did you first get online?
Not the first time you used a computer but rather first time you were actually connected to something outside your own machine. A BBS counts. AOL counts. The school library counts. Your mate’s dad’s work account that you definitely weren’t supposed to be using counts as well.
If AOL or CompuServe was just how you got on the web, pick dial-up. If it was at school, uni or work, pick that one.
For me it was Optus ADSL on the family XP machine. I don’t remember any modem screech so I’m firmly in the broadband kid camp, but the internet still dropped every time someone had to use the home phone because the phone had to be plugged into the same wall socket as the modem router.
Last time round the results skewed heavily towards people who started in the 80s which makes sense on a retro instance, so I’m curious how this one splits. I’m expecting a lot of BBS and CompuServe answers.
Tell me the details in the replies!
#Poll #Polls #RetroComputing #RetroTech #OldTech #VintageComputing #ComputerHistory #InternetHistory #Internet #BBS #DialUp #ADSL #Modem #Nostalgia #Fediverse

| Dial-up internet through an ISP: | 58 |

Finally got around to getting littleFedi up and running. Pretty darn neat! I was expecting something pretty stripped back considering it sells itself as a minimal experience using minimal resources. There's lots to play with here! It seems pretty polished so far also. I doubt I'll miss anything compared to a Mastodon host.
The federation says it's working but does not seem to be reaching out or more likely getting responses. Guessing because the dns records are too young. It'll probably get better over the next hour or so. I should go look at logs.
Anyway, I'll be splitting this account to move my arts interests to the new lf hosted account. My computer geek self will still be active here. Unless our barista, Stefano, says he's tired of me talking about Linux and shows me the door. Ha!
Fun!

Het is wel een technisch blik wormen dit zeg.
Wat ik nu heb geleerd om relays te begrijpen: de vindbaarheid en zichtbaarheid op Mastodon zijn nogal suboptimaal, vinden veel gebruikers, waaronder ik. Als je profiel voor het eerst aanklikt zie je bijvoorbeeld een hele rare selectie van posts vanaf dat profiel. Dus niet alle posts, maar bijvoorbeeld alleen de 'gepinde' posts en de posts die een relatie hebben met mensen die je al volgt en die zij geboost hebben, of waarop ze reageerden. Dat voelt onnodig onoverzichtelijk.
"Dit is een groot pijnpunt van het netwerk," zegt @ShadowJonathan, die ik er net over sprak. "Een relay is bedoelt als een tussenoplossing." Hen vergelijkt het met een 'telefoontoren'. "Een relay is een soort telefoontoren die je neerzet. Als je ermee verbindt dan kun je luisteren naar alle andere servers die eraan zijn verbonden.”

@dansup are you interested in making a simple dating app for fediverse?
I have things in common with only people on fediverse as they're highly educated, and mainstream dating apps are shit.
And it's a fact that you can't find anyone in 2026 without dating apps especially if you're picky asf.
Please please please please please please.

I do not want the firehose of ads, rage baits, and disinformation that comes with commercial social media.
It's strange to me that people who laugh at me because I'm not there do not understand that.
I feel sad they might never know the calming and deeply nourishing spaces they are missing on alternative networks.
Long live the Fediverse
Fedilab is now only available on #FDroid or through #Codeberg.
Yes, I am perfectly aware that leaving Google Play won't help #Fedilab users, because Google's new developer verification policy also applies outside the Play Store.
But the point is that I didn't want to stay passive about these abusive measures from Google.
They go against the freedom we defend every day here on the #Fediverse.

Você não está nas big techs porque quer. Está porque todo mundo está lá.
Isso tem nome: efeito de rede. Sair de uma plataforma gigante significa perder seus contatos, seu público e seus clientes. Não é escolha. É aprisionamento.
O PL 4.675/2025 obriga as gigantes a abrir as portas:
1. Deixar você levar seus dados, de graça, para outro serviço.
2. Conversar com outras redes (interoperabilidade gratuita e efetiva).
3. Permitir apps de terceiros e a mudança das configurações padrão.
4. Parar de favorecer os próprios produtos e de impor venda casada.
E vale só para grupos que faturam mais de R$ 50 bilhões no mundo ou R$ 5 bilhões no Brasil.
O que o PL NÃO faz:
✕ Não regula conteúdo nem o que você publica. Não é censura.
✕ Não pesa sobre os pequenos: empresas brasileiras, cooperativas e redes comunitárias ficam de fora.
✕ Não cria taxa para quem usa as plataformas.
É sobre concorrência. É sobre poder escolher.
A votação está prevista para terça, 17/11, na Câmara dos Deputados. Redes livres precisam de portas abertas:
→ Fale com seu deputado: camara.leg.br/deputados
→ Compartilhe este post
→ Compartilhe a versão completa neste post se você tiver Instagram. Repost a partir da conta @redesocialorganica: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dfr8piUFupE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&dlrf=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings. ❤️
To everyone who believes that education is the foundation of a better future, I am writing this post hoping to find someone who can help us provide some educational necessities that would make a real difference in our educational journey.
I am a Business Administration student, and I need a laptop and study supplies to help me continue my education. My sister is studying Nursing and needs a blood pressure monitor and some essential nursing equipment. My younger siblings also need school supplies.
We have big dreams and are working hard to achieve them through education and determination. All we hope for is to have the necessary tools that will help us keep moving forward.
If anyone is able to help or provide any of these necessities, we would be truly grateful.
**Help us continue our educational journey, because your support could be the beginning of a dream we have waited so long to achieve.** ❤️

"Sovereign Social Web: the future of public communication" at ENAP, Brazil's national school of public administration 🇧🇷
@skarnio, @liaamancio and @josemurilo discuss digital sovereignty, why public institutions should run their own instances, and how Brazilian museums federate their collections with Tainacan + WordPress.
Spoken in Portuguese, with English captions. A good look at the Fediverse in Brazil!

Hey everyone,
@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Saja Emad🍉🚨 (@sajaemad)
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):
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.
💕

Un petit rappel à nos responsables politiques de gauche : la cohérence, ça commence aussi par l'exemple.
Difficile de dénoncer les #gafam, de réclamer la #souverainetenumerique, de s'opposer aux #datacenters et de défendre un numérique libre et indépendant, tout en faisant tranquillement sa communication sur Twitch, propriété d'Amazon, l'empire capitaliste de Jeff Bezos, milliardaire réactionnaire et proche de l'extrême droite.
La souveraineté numérique ne se décrète pas devant un micro, elle se construit aussi par des choix concrets. Si vous-mêmes n'êtes pas capables de montrer l'exemple, comment espérez-vous convaincre les autres de changer leurs pratiques ?
Oui, je suis de mauvaise humeur. J'en ai assez que l'on ignore systématiquement l'existence du #fediverse. J'ai contacté à maintes reprises les services de communication de certains élus, en leur soumettant des idées concrètes pour leur donner de la visibilité auprès de celles et ceux qui ont fait le choix de s'éloigner des GAFAM. Résultat ? Même pas une réponse.
Je ne parle évidemment pas de couper du jour au lendemain les canaux classiques que sont les réseaux sociaux ou les plateformes de streaming, mais simplement d'entamer une transition vers le libre et les alternatives indépendantes.
Certains font cet effort. D'autres, en revanche, sont passés de YouTube à YouTube + Twitch. Et vous êtes malheureusement nombreux dans ce cas !
À un moment, il faudrait peut-être arrêter de dénoncer le système tout en contribuant à le faire prospérer.
Les convictions, ce n'est pas seulement ce qu'on proclame, c'est aussi ce qu'on applique.

If you're a software developer who wants to work with the ActivityPub protocol in any way, there are discussion forums and lots of resources on this website:
The site is run by the people who created and maintain the ActivityPub standard.
(For any non-techy people reading this, ActivityPub is the technical standard that is used by Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to allow people on different servers to follow and interact with each other.)

Hey everyone,
@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• jamilshaheen (@jamillal)
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):
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.
💕

No, really - it's hard to wrap ones head around hosting your own instance, without any followers to poke around.😉
@w101 @Zodiac1978 @matttutt @joedolson – you'd all be excellent pokers should you find time.
Cheers, everyone 🍻
Mastodon is community gedreven, decentraal, zonder algoritme en met gedragsregels per instantie. Ik zie nu allerlei accounts verschijnen van journalisten van commerciële nieuwsmedia o.a. DPG en Mediahuis, die zich wanhopig afvragen hoe zij hier hun verdienmodel kunnen vinden. En nu dreigen Mastodon te verlaten want te ingewikkeld, lastig. Ik denk dat dit prima is, het selecteert zich vanzelf uit wie zich kan vinden bij de waarden van deze community. #activitypub #fediverse #moderatie #GeenAIslob

Working on a FediHood-inspired "Nearby" feature for Catodon. Since FediHood's development has halted, I'm using it as a base, but without being restricted by it. I'm trying to build this not only thinking of Catodon's implementation, but with fedi on my mind, since we don't have a standard for location, and it could be useful for a lot of cases (events, marketplaces - even a federated dating app could use something like this, why not). So once I'm done, I'll propose two FEPs, so that other projects can also build on this.

Since v3.13.0, Ktistec has supported custom feeds.
A custom feed is a collection of posts selected by a set of rules called a judge. Any post Ktistec has cached that is public, or was sent to you, is a candidate. The judge's job is to decide which posts are in the feed and which posts are out.
Ktistec comes with one built-in judge called the criteria judge. It also supports any number of fully custom external judges—judges implemented as external scripts the server can call on candidate posts.
I use the criteria judge for most of my custom feeds. This post explains how it works. Later posts will dive into external judges.
The Criteria Judge
The criteria judge allows you to define feeds by flexibly matching on keywords, hashtags, and mentions. You can filter candidates to those posts that contain any of one set of keywords, hashtags, or mentions, all of a second set, and none of a third.

Ktistec's New Feed form.
Keywords match anywhere in a post's text, summary, or title, ignoring case—even inside words, so "art" also matches "party". Hashtags and mentions match exactly: #art matches only posts tagged #art. Use a hashtag when you want precision. Use a keyword when you want reach.
Once you've settled on terms, you can preview the feed. To keep it fast, the preview returns up to 20 matches from the 100 most recent candidates—just enough to give you a feel for what it will look like. "Create Feed" publishes the feed and starts a task that backfills the last 30 days of posts. (Feeds are private, though—only you can see them.)
After it is published, the feed is available in the deck—the column-oriented feed reader. The deck shows up to 12 feeds side by side, and you can reorder them.

The deck.
Matching is fast. I have feeds with 20+ keywords and hashtags, and there is no perceptible processing delay when a new post arrives.

@Some_Emo_Chick A request to the fediverse: when you share links, think about those of us outside the US or Europe. From Argentina I hit "Your country is not allowed to access this resource" every single day.
We preach an open internet, decentralization, not feeding proprietary platforms… and then we circulate content that shuts out half the world based on where they live. That's not freedom, it's a members-only club.
An archive link, a summary or a heads-up goes a long way.

For all the high political ideals of the #fediverse, one of the greatest achievements is an infrastructure to enable seamless updates across multiple platforms.
Nuts and bolts matter.
RE: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/117585999087349223
The attrition of #fediverse instances is incredible. Far too many people boot up an instance without really understanding what they're getting themselves into. This goes triple for people who create open registrations, general audience instances. Those are the ones that burn out their admins the fastest.
My biggest advice is, don't open a politically-neutral instance. Open an instance with your own politics clear and centered. This way you're much more likely to attract instance members whose politics agree with yours and therefore makes it less likely you'll need to keep moderating your own audience, and easier for you to defend them when they inevitably conflict with other instances.
lemmy.dbzer0.com is 3.5 years old as well, and still going strong. We weren't the largest in the #threadiverse when we started, but after a few heavyweights like lemm.ee dropped out due to the aforementioned "apolitical burnout", we're now ended up being like the 3rd largest instance.
Cyberplace.social Mastodon server is 4 years old this month
![]()
It's the 6th most popular server on the covenant list with open registrations.
During the time it's been live, 24805 other fediverse servers have stopped responding.
In fediverse time we're about 100 years old.

Change is always hard. It seems many people are disappointed with the new Mastodon version.
Once admins upgrade to v5, there's no going back to v4. I hope users won't be hateful towards admins for upgrading the software. If the change is too much for you, we have options in fedi: apps, alternative interfaces like elk, alternative instances running forks like glitch-soc or my instance mementomori.social, and even something other than Mastodon that suits you better and lets you connect with Mastodon users (Akkoma, Friendica, GoToSocial, and so on).
We can thankfully modify and use the fedi as we see fit, unlike in big tech platforms where we just need to accept the change. That's the beauty of it. Please don't give shit to people who are trying to do their best. There's a lot of good in this. Together, we can make the fediverse even better.

This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum.
Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.
As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.
The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.
If you want some recommended tools see our LESS stack.
We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.
There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.
Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.
There are many takes on the future of “the internet” this week. Which is great because hard thinking is needed on this point. And at this point in its history.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And may involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck´em.

Sam Altman wasn’t running for office Tuesday. But this worldview—that the masses must shut up and suffer while oligarchs centralize power, self-deal, spend wildly to capture the political process, and automate away human endeavors so they can amass yet more wealth—was wholly repudiated in Tuesday’s election as people in Red States, Blue States, and Purple States rejected the cruelty, corruption, and depravity economy we’ve seen over the last few years. They are tired of kleptocracy.
Up and down the ballot, in all states, voters were generally given the choice between largely normal people trying to fight for the working class and sycophantic cartoon supervillains, nepo picks, fumbling buffoons, and Twitter trolls seeking to enable the regime and Big Tech’s vision of the future, where AI CEOs become trillionaires and everyone else loses their job to a robot and breathes methane gas from the data centers in their backyards. It turns out that from Michigan to Mississippi (yes, Mississippi), people are done accepting “bad things happening” for the benefits of the richest people in the world.
And, in nearly every conceivable way, voters aggressively rejected Trump and Silicon Valley’s vision for America. It turns out people do not want to accept “some bad things happening” to pad the valuations and pocketbooks of billionaires and trillionaires when the “bad things” include worsening wealth inequality, a housing and cost of living crisis, mass automation and unemployment, mass surveillance, cuts to government services, foreign wars, loud, polluting data centers that employ a few construction workers while they’re being built and no one after that are being used to increase profits for out-of-state corporations, and a culture war that infringes on the civil rights of immigrants and trans people.
‘There Is One Fight’: American Voters Reject Tech Oligarchy
American Voters Overwhelmingly Reject AI Data Centers
Tech Policy Press reports:
Voters Handed Congress a Mandate to Confront Corporate Power and Technofascism
Pull the Plug on Technofascism Before It Reboots
This was a great victory over techno feudalism and corporate surveillance, but we have a lot of work left to kill off techno fascism.
Still, let’s celebrate this!!! We worked hard for it.
Afterwards we can focus on cauterizing the wounds and stopping the rot. Then reversing the damage these techcunts have done.
And TechDirt makes an important point about how to do it:
The Tech Bros Who Bet On Fascism Lost. Don’t Let The Internet Pay For It.
Ben Werdmuller reviews an article we shared last week:

Hamish Campbell says:

Same headline but different article from the one featured last week.
On a related note, Tech Policy Press explores:

Stratechery ruminates on:

Cauenapier shares:

Yes on this, but. You should want what you share to be seen. If it helps even one person, it’s worth all the effort. That’s not egotistical.

I love the #Fediverse but I'm dreaming of something truly decentralized using public keys for identifiers and something similar to the #NASA delay-tolerant network for distribution. No email addresses ever used to identify someone - that's an old system we need to move past.
The beauty of this would be to have key-signing in person so you could show on your feed "I've met this person, they're real, I know them and here's their pubkey to follow -- they aren't AI" and through the six-degrees-of-separation thing we can all follow REAL people and what they engage with. No AI Bots. If there are bots you wanna follow, sure, follow those keys too - but they aren't people and can't show up at key-signing parties and post pictures with us so that's different.
Also, any email service is a public thing that someone might find your leaked password for, etc.
I want my identity backed by a secret key that lives only on my computer -- and part of a wallet of keys that includes ones that I keep offline entirely and only use if the current key does get compromised and yoinked off of said computer.
And IDEALLY I want to have a little USB thingy that has the key and can't be read by my computer - I wanna just be able to send it text and read back the signature for it and never ever have to risk that secret key being stolen thanks to a vibe-coded update to my Linux distro or Python libraries or something sometime in the future.
We have the basic tools to do all that - it's simple off the shelf stuff we could actually do with no real new work needed - just use keypairs (or rather sets of pairs as above, not just a single all-or-nothing loss point) and identify ourselves by them. And then meet and do key-signing and know and tell the network that this person is real.
Anyone? Can we start doing that someday soon before AI slop and AI hacks of email services bring this lovely place we have down? #pubkey #p2p #identity #keysigning #fediverse #email #security #aislop #makestuff

Here's to the crazy ones. The digital revolutionaries. The #fediverse builders. The ones who see social media differently.
They're not fond of #BigTech. And they have no respect for the #SurveillanceEconomy.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people crazy enough to think they can change social media, are the ones who do.
Finally there! Pipilo is now available on App Store.
Pipilo is an iOS application for Fediverse where you browse posts in a horizontally scrolling timeline. This is an app for these who want to browse their feed in a new way. In Pipilo you never miss a post and all conversations always take full screen space.

Hello le Fediverse 👋
Sysadmin depuis 25 ans, libriste convaincu, Dunkerquois d'origine et Roubaisien d'adoption.
Quand je ne suis pas devant un écran, je suis sur mon Brompton 🚲 quand je ne suis pas sur mon brompton, je suis au bord de l'eau, à pêcher en mer ou en eau douce. 🎣
Parfois (souvent ?), j'explore d'autres univers ou je me perds dans la forêt d'Hyrule. 🗡️
Well would you Adam & Eve it. Another #bandcamp #BandcampFriday #friday is nearly upon us and I ain't got nothin' new...
But all the old stuff is FAB if you haven't got it yet #fediverse !! 😁
🍻🥤 Das nächste Kneipentreffen der #Datenpunks #Bremen ist morgen, Donnerstag 5.11. 19:00 im Lagerhaus Kafé, Schildstr. 12-19
Wenn Du Lust hast uns kennen zu lernen oder über alternative Social Media Angebote im #Fediverse, Verschlüsselte #Messenger, datenschutzfreundliche Apps oder #Linux quatschen möchtest, komm gern vorbei. Wir freuen uns auf Austausch.
Es gibt keine Agenda, kein Protokoll, einfach nur entspannt Zeit miteinander verbringen. #Datenschutz #SocialMedia
I notice most people name their #Wordpress blog's #ActivityPub handle as @blog ..
With tons of blogs with the same handle prefixes this makes your blog hard to mention, and people have to remember and type the full #fediverse handle before it shows up in the account dropdown dialog of the post editor. Just saying.
I wrote another FEP, this time for C2PA ✨

the most glaring design mistake of #Mastodon and/or #ActivityPub is still:
followers-only posts should also be visible to followers of mentions.

We're shifting our centre of gravity: from social features to community tools.
Bonfire was never meant to be one more feed that grabs your attention. Today it takes the shape we've been building toward: Bonfire for communities. A tool for groups that need to organise together, not just post at each other. Shipping today: groups and topics, events, shared organisation profiles, embeddable federated comments, customisable themes, and a first set of governance tools. It comes as a ready-to-use space with everything included, to then be reshaped block by block: add what's missing, swap or fork what almost fits, switch off what you don't need.

The story of Linux should inspire the Fediverse.
"The year of the Linux desktop" has been a joke for 25 years - a quarter of the century! Yet slowly, and with a persistent following building for linux and supporting it, it's reaching a point where it's no longer something to laugh about - it's a valid choice for many people. Hell, my father (who is 81!) uses ZorinOS, which I installed when windows became too laggy and frustrating for him on his aging PC.
Similarly, if you tell someone that fedi can replace facebook/instagram/x for them, they will probably not take you seriously - most of the people they want to interact with are not here. In the very same way that the apps that people wanted to use on their operating system were not on linux some years ago. Things change - we can change them!
Linux is 35 years old. ActivityPub is less than 10!
Let's build apps and communities for the widespread adoption of the open web, for the fedi revolution. This won't come by itself, we have to prepare it. But we will - we already are!
Well yes. This: https://digitalfreedomofmovement.eu
"As long as switching means starting over, challenger apps can't compete with the dominant platforms, however good they are.
Europe's builders of new social apps are asking Brussels for one structural change: let people take their identity, content and network with them, by giving every account a personal data server built to one common standard."
Now, eagerly waiting for #ActivityPub and #Fediverse folks to chime in here.
One good thing about #MangroveReviews is that they support #ActivityPub. If you have a favourite place, or if you run one, you can follow its reviews on the #Fediverse. I just added it to Openreviews.cz.
Once we have Fediverse celebrities such as @paveljanicek writing reviews, I'll add an option to follow the authors of the reviews. It's possible, too. 🙂
We shipped a pretty cool feature to FediDB that allows anyone to edit and answer questions about software projects, like a wiki, and use that data to power a new software comparison feature.
Folks, please share the link for our Fediverse Multimedia Grants.
We have funding for creators to make podcasts, artist's portfolios, webcomics, music stores, video streams, or brand new kinds of channels here. And we pay developers to help them be successful.
Our deadline is Wed 4 Nov 2026. It only takes a few minutes to apply.

Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.
As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.
The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.
If you want some recommended tools see our LESS stack.
We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.
There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.
Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And may involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck´em.

Dead Simple Tech writes:
The moment that we in the tech industry are going through bears similarity, in a bunch of very important ways, to what people went through during the First World War.
Looking at it like that, it’s not so hard to see the parallels with our situation. Our industry’s always had that optimistic attitude that’s willfully ignorant of any sign that it could ever be harmful, or that anything other than continuous forward progress could ever happen. (We are incapable of seeing evil for what it is.)
We find ourselves at the precipice before the break. There’s enough (techcunt induced) instability to see how things are going: things are breaking, vital things are ceasing to work, the bulk of the population hates what the industry is doing to them. The best are exhausted and isolated, while the worst are creating yet another vibe-coded pile of crap.
In such circumstances, at the very least, we have to acknowledge that fracture, obscenity and the shattering of the way we see the world is what we’re facing: it does no good for us to pretend that it is anything other than something that we simply can’t put into words or symbols.
We have no words for what LLMs are doing to our profession, nor for why we find them so viscerally unacceptable, but we know that they are, only to find that the words we have for that are inadequate to our experience.
We don’t know what would make sense of everything that’s happening to us now or if there’s even some sense to be had. But we need to remain open to the possibility that there could be, that with the right knowledge or the right perspective, we will be able to make some sense of this, and we can, one way or the other, move on with our lives. (That there may be a revelation coming.)
Developing a keen sense of patience is… an important discipline. A revelation may well come, and we can watch in hope for one. But it may tarry… Being able to wait without frustration and keep doing things while we’re waiting is important to stay sane…
Finally, in times like these, one of the best things we can do is witness and record it.
Personally, I find that strong doses of Taoism, Stoicism, and doing things for people you don’t know keep me sane and moving forward (albeit in a crooked line).
Hamish Campbell writes:
Ten years ago, I wrote about a problem that was already undermining the open web, that nobody was linking to anybody, and that the incentives were all moving in the wrong direction. Mainstreaming platforms had little reason to send people towards alternative sources, while grassroots projects were left struggling to build connections with each other. Even when people wanted to cooperate, there were plenty of reasons to avoid linking, sharing audiences or giving another project visibility.
The result was an increasingly fragmented web. Lots of websites, lots of content, lots of people doing useful work, but fewer if any meaningful connections between them. Ten years later, the technology has changed, the underlying problem has not gone away.
[The open web is a network of links, not islands]
So, please boost meaningful posts you come across on open social and link to important information on other sites within your open web site’s content.

Salut à tous et toutes !
La modératrice Melyssandre de !feminisme@jlai.lu et !lgbt@jlai.lu n’est malheureusement plus présente pour assurer la modération de ces deux commu.
Elle avait posté un message à ce sujet et il n’y avait pas eu de réponse, je crois.
Nous recherchons des personnes francophones intéressées pour les porter et les animer. Nous préférons accorder ces deux commu aux personnes concernées mais sinon on peut les gérer nous-même ou les vérrouiller en attendant que de futures modérateurices se manifeste.
Merci pour votre aide précieuse 🙏

NB : Nous allons les passer en strictement francophone afin d’éviter le récent flood de publi merdigène.
At some point it would be great to move beyond the intent to support individual platforms and embrace the protocol.
Have an activitypub/fediverse sign-on rather than limit it to Mastodon, Pleroma (and other Branded platforms)
Sure you could add a WordPress logo to the list, but the platform isn't what is meaningful here...

Ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass wir unsere Kommunikation in einer freiheitlichen demokratischen Gesellschaft den kommerziellen, abgeschotteten Plattformen ganz entziehen müssen.
Aber ich lasse auch keine Gelegenheit aus, notwendige rechtliche Regeln gegen die massivsten Auswüchse der BigTech-Plattformen zu unterstützen.
Deswegen bin ich bei https://weact.campact.de/petitions/digitalknast-offnen-mehr-sichtbarkeit-fur-alle-im-netz dabei, Du auch? Als eine:r der Ersten?

Vor einiger Zeit hat @heiseonline selbst veröffentlicht, dass aus dem #Fediverse längst mehr Zugriffe auf die Webseiten von Heise stattfinden als von den BigTech-Plattformen. Warum Heise dann mit #WSocial eine Medienpartnerschaft eingeht und den Quatsch von fehlenden europäischen Plattformen nachplappert, obwohl bei WSocial genau nix los ist und deren Geschäftsmodell sowie Datenschutz so extrem zweifelhaft sind? Es ist frustrierend.

I am being pressured by FreeBSD's reddit moderation team to censor the Omarchy #content_review or to remove it completely. They have began a harrasment campaign with the goal of removing me from this world.
the review: https://merveilles.town/@prahou/117501303459299869
The issue at hand is that a picture of a partial swastika appears in close proximity to the word FreeBSD, this they perceive as an attack on the FreeBSD project - if you've seen a newspaper before, you might understand the principle of two separate unrelated articles appearing next to each other. You might also understand that I am reporting on common associations with the Topic of the review. These are not my inventions, and I am not calling anyone anything. I am reporting on the news. Nevertheless, as much as I am a journalist, I am an artistè, and if my audience sees in my work something I didn't put there, I am not going to take that experience away from them. This probably says more about them than it does about me.
While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.
I will delete it for $2,000. For $5,000 I will apologize. For $10,000 I will use daemonarchy exclusively for 6 months on all my computers. For $25,000 I will kill a small animal of your choice. For $75,000 I will not post anything for a month.

@noybeu lanceerde zojuist de nieuwe dienst https://gdpr-omnibus.eu dat eindelijk een goed overzicht geeft wie in het Europese Parlement de notoire #privacy eroderende krachten zijn v.w.b. #EU reguleringen, en welke parlementsleden juist voorvechters zijn voor onze privacy.
In de categorie "Privacy Offenders" vinden we voor #Nederland alleen @bartgroothuis van #VVD en #RENEW.
Raquel García Hermida-Van Der Walle, ook van RENEW maar dan #D66, is de enige Nederlander die in de lijst met "Privacy Champs" voorkomt.
Gelukkig heeft Bart Groothuis, in tegenstelling to Raquel Garcia, een #fediverse account en dus toegang tot een geëngageerd publiek dat kan overdragen dat in de algemene publieke opinie in #NL mensen wel degelijk grote waarde hechten aan hun privacy, als ze maar goed genoeg geïnformeerd zijn over de achtergronden van de diverse reguleringen.
Beste meneer Groothuis, wordt ook een Privacy Champ! 💪

As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics.
If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!"
I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?
TWO WEEKS WITHOUT DONATIONS! 😭
My husband is imprisoned, and I have no source of income. My four children are starving, and our torn tent cannot protect us from the rain. I feel helpless watching my children suffer.😭😭
🙏 Please, don't leave us alone. Any donation, no matter how small, could help us survive. If you can't donate, please share our story.

As others have pointed out, it is likely we're going to get a lot of new Brazilian people trying to find a home on the Fediverse, in the next few days/weeks. So, hello Braziiiil! Really excited for new cool people to be around!
Also, congratulations on the election! One of the first thing I read today. Huge relief. And a special thought to my Brazilian followers/mutuals who might see this, I know some of you were intensely stressed about this, rightfully so. Take a breath for now. This a huge victory.
Anyway. Lots of love to Brazilian people. And perhaps, welcome to the Fediverse. 🇧🇷

I'm slowly working my way deeper into the technical side of activity pub. But I'm sure there's already plenty of you, who already made a deep dive.
What's a discovery you found most interesting or maybe even unexpected?
Here's a conceptual programming question for you:
If I have a static site generator, can I make it federated..?
I mean, I think you can set up an RSS feed so that the feed is updated when the site is updated.
Could that be federated? Tied to a federated platform to handle the dynamic aspects, maybe..?
I ask, because when people were asking about better "web comic" platforms, some of the stuff they asked for were my reason for making "LunaGen" for my landing site for serial episode content.
Could it be federated? Does that even make sense? Would I lose the benefits of a static website? 🤔
Can anybody recommend a new android app for mastodon ? I've used tusky for years , but a few times recently it has crashed mid post (always on a long post too!)
I use the webUI as a PWA for my little fedi insyance, as it looks beautiful, still a tiny bit glitchy but it is early days still.
Anyway I need a new app for mastodon? Any new apps floating around that have been stealing the show lately ?

What I really like about the #Fediverse and my followers/friends: They love to share a good moment. Either by posting something nice themselves or by boosting something positive I post. So thank you!
What I don't like about the Fediverse: how strangers often jump on these positive posts and immediately try to turn it negative, either by sarcasm, doomsday "but what if" etc. That works on Twitter/Facebook etc with their algorithms rewarding controversy, but here it does not. They will learn :)

This post originally appeared on the Fulcrum.
Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.
As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.
The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.
If you want some recommended tools see our LESS stack.
We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.
There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.
Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And may involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck´em.

Open Media Network has this timely item:
In the Open Media Network (#OMN), the commons represents both the foundation and the destination of the native open web. Rather than relying on closed web corporate dotcons or top-down state power, it re-frames the commons as a practical, lived alternative. You might call it a “quiet” form of collective ownership and mutual aid grown into daily social infrastructure.
For example:
I finally got around to customizing our Bear (cross-posting) blog:
I am seriously considering practicing what I preach with LESS, and moving this site to Bear (or an equivalent) next year. I’ve had it with convoluted, increasingly AI ensloppified, and heading towards enshittified CMSs like Drupal, WordPress, Ghost, etc. They are no longer fit for purpose with small sites. Jamstack sites are just as bad.
Sticking to markdown, HTML, and CSS is a constraint that breeds creativity, resists techno feudalism, and refuses fascist artifacts like AI.
I would move our Fediverse account to self-hosted serving with Starling. And kill the newsletter.

Nach dem DI.day Fediverse Punk Workshop im Februar, legen wir nach:
Dieser Workshop richtet sich explizit sowohl an totale Anfänger*innen als auch an Leute die schon etwas Erfahrung im Fediverse gesammelt haben.
Wir zeigen euch neben der Einführung ins Fediverse, wie ihr mit Hilfe von Tools die Reichweite messen könnt, wie ihr Posts automatisch zu einem bestimmten Termin abschickt usw...
Es lohnt sich also auch für die Leute, die auch beim 1. Workshop schon dabei waren.
Aber wir machen natürlich auch erst einmal eine Einführung, um zu zeigen, um was es eigentlich geht.
Und wenn ihr wollt, helfen wir euch auch bei der Erstellung eures Accounts, und bei der Einrichtung der App.
Es werden Leute von
anwesend sein.
Alle infos für Punk im Fediverse wie immer bei punx.social -> @punxsocial@punkstodon.de
Außerdem ist das TRXXXTER Team wie immer gut gelaunt am Tresen und verpflegt euch mit leckeren Getränken.
Es wird auch vegane Lebkuchen geben!

Time: 2026-11-01 15:00:00+01:00 / 20:00:00+01:00
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

Concerning #HolosSocial, I still believe it's an interesting project because it brought something new to the #Fediverse.
Not only because you run your #ActivityPub server on your device, but mainly because you can own your identity with your own domain name.
My mistake was making it easy to run the server on your device, but not to get your own identity.
That will be my challenge in the coming months.
PS: I have no funding for this project and I work alone, so yes, it takes time :)
If you have any questions about using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse, please post them in the replies and I'll try to find you some answers.
It would be especially nice to hear from new people and people who aren't confident about technical matters. There is absolutely no such thing as a silly question! 🙂
I'm curious: is there anybody here on the #fediverse who was involved in #development of the #bbs #software #rbbs for #cpm80 back in the 1980s?

HELP! PLEASE BOOST URGENTLY FOR ME! I don't believe it, just when I think I'm making headway, the bank has done it to me again-been slow to take out payments and as a result I'm overdrawn🥺 I'll be charged a fee for this, and it means I can't get groceries or pay bills. As someone who's under the poverty line and disabled, this is obviously extremely frustrating and stressful, and has a knock on effect on my chronic illness and disabilities. I'm trying my hardest but I am stuck. If you could help me clear the overdraft and fees it would be so much appreciated. My goal is $145.00 to get clear. Thank you so much💖

@Steve_Bate
in case of #simple, count me in.
And remember, the #Fediverse is neither limited to #Mastodon, nor #ActivityPub.
@cecileduflot comme vous le savez grâce à ceux qui vous ont convaincu de venir sur
#Mastodon, c'est l'alternative pour une communication souveraine : pas d'algorithme pour dicter la visibilité, pas de publicité, et une gestion décentralisée des données.
Un choix cohérent pour protéger la vie privée des citoyens et sortir de la dépendance aux plateformes privées.
Vos toots permettront peut-être à d'autres de découvrir l'univers du #Fediverse.
With 200 respondents on the #poll the results indicate that one third of fedizens feel that #Mastodon and #fediverse are the same.
This is an unsurprising outcome, since #ActivityPub - at its heart a very flexible and powerful communication protocol, yet underspecified - has seen primarily uptake and adoption in one narrow field of #SocialNetworking:
The federated #Microblog.
And there is very little incentive in the developer ecosystem to bring change to that, making it a fait accompli.
👋 Welcome to the world of #microblogging, the mastodon or fediverse.

💔 I’m trying to buy food for my children, but prices in Gaza have become unbearable. With the crossings closed, everything is becoming scarcer and more expensive. I’m a mother desperate to feed my children, but I can’t do it alone. 😢
We are open source, cooperatively-run, community-led and in the process of joining the social web. We're also working collaboratively with others in the space towards different modes of decentralisation, going against enshittification and one-size-fits-all approaches.

❤️🔥 Anti-Fascist Fediverse Sticker! ❤️🔥
I finally created this sticker, I had it in mind for a while.
Boost, spread it around, and feel free to print it yourselves! I will print around a thousand copies in 5x5cm format.
The source file is published on this Codeberg repository, and mirrored on GitHub!
Other high-resolution and vector formats are in the first release page.

⁂ New symbol version!
It is a crazy coincidence that a new Fediverse symbol proposal was advanced exactly one week after I published the first version of the Anti-Fascist Fediverse sticker with the “old” logo on it! No problem, if not that I just printed a thousand 5x5cm version 1 stickers… 🤯
Despite the terrible timing for the stickers printing, I am very happy about this new symbol proposal, I love it! 😍
Even though I am currently boarding a flight to Tallinn, where I will be moving for 5 months (😱). I quickly created with great pleasure a second version with the asterism symbol! 🚀
#AntiFascism #AntiFa #AntiFascist #Fediverse #AntiFascistFediverse #Antifaschismus #AntifaschistischeAktion #Fediverse #sticker #Asterism #FediverseSymbol #FediverseLogo
Thanks a lot to @FediverseSymbol, @liaizon, @raphael, and @nclm for this proposal!
Many people asked, so I have finally created a form to order AntiFascist Fediverse stickers.
Please fill it out by Sunday 1 Nov.

A new week is coming, and though I'm trying my best, I'm still struggling. As a disabled, chronically ill girl under the poverty line, bills, meds and basic groceries I need to be able to cover this week come to $152.44. I'm still dealing with medical tests, and all this on top adds to my stress. If you could help me meet my goal, it would be very much appreciated. Boosts help too of course! Thank you so much💖

Good morning, #Fediverse
It's a warm Sunday morning, I'm supposed to be doing something more urgent but I'm totally stuck in a dilemma:
FreeBSD or SmartOS for that new setup?
Life can be hard.
@tchambers @indivisibleteam so, trying to use douchebag techbro billionaire owned socmedia platforms to protest #DTBO take over of our democracy doesn't work, because it goes against the wishes of DTBOs?!?!?
Wild.
If only there were #SocialMedia platforms that were truly decentralized and NOT corporate owned, huh. 🤔
Just GTFO of every douchebag techbro billionaire owned social media.
Now.
Yes, #bluesky and #threads. #xitter #facebook, #instagram #linkedin ALL of them.
No, threads and bluesky are NOT the #Fediverse , they are #DTBO #SocialMedia , owned by techbro billionaires who are using the wealth they get from YOU being there to destroy democracy.
Just leave.
We did.
WOW! on the day i crashed and burned into a 3 hour nap all the ish just happens… should i take more naps?
the only thing i’ll say to #NoKings: abandon #Facebook #X #Bluesky #Instagram #LinkedIn
now is the time for #Indivisible to join the #fediverse with tech for and by The People.
stop being at the mercy of #techbros & sundry #fascists who control the network effect. YOU ALREADY ARE A NETWORK.
reject reactionary politics and reformist praxis. embrace the power of your own network & grow it.

Ich habe einen neuen Podcast: NET⫽SPLIT
Jetzt ist es offiziell, @daniel und ich haben zusammen einen #Podcast, @netsplit \o/
Geplant ist ein Laberpodcast rund um #OpenSource und Dezentralität, auch wenn die ganz genaue Ausrichtung noch nicht 100% fest steht.
Den Podcast veröffentlichen wir als Video- und Audio-Format über #PeerTube und natürlich auch #RSS und es kommt jeden Monat eine neue Folge raus.
Ich bin mega happy mit dem Projekt und ich hoffe, ihr schaut oder hört mal rein. Alle Abo-Möglichkeiten findet ihr auf unserer Website zusammen gefasst:
P.S.: An alle @rebootpolitics -Fans, keine Sorge, mein geliebter Politik-Podcast läuft natürlich auch weiter und wir planen aktuell wieder neue Interviews und anderen Schabernack.

Like stated, I am looking for someone who cares deep for the #Fediverse and its people and who has €x.xxx - xx.xxx to ‘spend’ I do not want to cause any financial trouble whatsoever
I know what I ask is out of place.. but I want a fair chance and not be eaten alive like most companies do
Would there be a trusted person or non-hostile company within the #Fediverse that could maybe offer me a loan to secure the future of our Fedi services?
I’ve been thinking about this for some time and I know it’s far from optimal but I feel like I need to do something for the longer term
I’m not looking for investors and I don’t want to put up the services as collateral, it’s for safe keeping
It has to be someone who wants and CAN afford to help out, I want it done responsibly

Y’all! Please, please, please use appropriate passwords. We’re seeing a big spam campaign across the fediverse, using hacked accounts.
First, change your fediverse password. Especially if it’s reused elsewhere, short/weak, or really old.
Then, here are some simple steps to protect you and your accounts:
1. Never reuse passwords. Use a password manager so you’ll only have to remember one password.
2. Make sure your passwords are secure. They should be 12+ characters with at least one capital letter and one special character. Good password managers have a generator built-in.
3. Set-up multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA).
4. Use passkeys wherever possible.
If you need help, ask someone. Folks who know will help.

This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum.
Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.
As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.
The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.
If you want some recommended tools see our LESS stack.
We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.
There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.
Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And may involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck´em.
Misha Things writes:
Given what is at stake, it is surprising that so few people seem to be aware of, and engaged with this struggle over our digital world. Much like many of the boomers and generation X (what’s in a name) could not be bothered to think through the geopolitical and economic implications of letting the Americans build our digital world, a big part of the younger generations seems to have thrown in the digital towel, accepting their lives as digital serfs.
On a related note, we have an important pivot development with Manade:
Corporate surveillance, techno feudalist tech sucks and people want to leave it. But, some people have trouble with selecting individual tools that work well together. LESS is our very opinionated selection of a coherent stack. We want to make it easy for you to tell big tech to sod off.
Our Manade project will pivot into supporting and promoting this decentralized democratic tech stack.
With the new focus we aim to reduce decision paralysis and KISS for end users of tech. We want to help you escape the increasingly fascist techshit we are all stuck with.
The name is obviously inspired by KISS, the philosophy that “less is more”, and the ideals of the country where we live, France. Long live liberty, equality, and solidarity.

Pivot to AI writes:
Linux kernel maintainers are complaining they’re drowning in slop. Torvalds’ answer is: less people, more chatbots!
Torvalds said he is not trying to push non-chatbot users out of the project. But there’s already so much slop code and so many slop procedures that his actions don’t match these words.
I suggest the social action: shame. Shame these people. Their actions are shameful. AI bros hate being shamed and they try to make rules against shaming — because shame works.
None of these people doing shameful things deserve a place in polite company. They should be shamed for their shameful choices.
Linux kernel goes full AI slop code, hides chatbot commits
Linus has always been a libertarian but as he ages he’s becoming more of a techcunt. Discouraging. I guess it’s time to start checking out FreeBSD if you’re technical enough.

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:
• Savetoleen🍉😪 (@savetoleen)

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):

For a while back there I thought the best way to grow the #Fediverse was to get a few "celebrities" with 10 Million followers to join, and we could grow that way, but that's obviously a bad idea in hindsight.
We need to get 10 Million small communities, special niche interests, unique hobbies, philosophies, fan clubs to join us here.
If the nice celebrities want to join that's fine too.
