The scam group known as Gaza Verified continues to do what scam groups do. That includes pressuring people — especially the elderly and disabled — into giving them large sums of money.

Unfortunately, reporting this behavior, even when it seems obvious, may not personally win you any favors, as someone recently learned.

The Fediverse has a scammer problem!

Concerned user:

" Linux have you seen this guy: USER NAME @ mastodon.social?

He seems to be giving a lot to these accounts. I had a look at one of them, and he's given just one of them over £4k in about a month
(eg: https://chuffed.org/project/184394-hanadi-is-a-nurse-graduate-who-need-help-for-her-family).

I hope he's loaded, and he's giving wierd amounts, £9, £8, £50 and then lastly £500! 😕 "

" I already have them on my block list because they were boosting the scam groups post and trying to help them raise money. They're one of their so-called supporters. Although, I haven't yet updated the GIT. The next update will have over 50 or so new accounts. "

" Linux :( he's giving them serious amounts of cash even though they keep guilt-tripping him :(
I did msg him to be careful, but never got a reply.

When I reported https://ieji.de/@hanadinurse88, and told them to stop harrasing the USER NAME guy, some modertor from leji.de reported me, just tagging random posts from me in the report... weird! "

" That whole domain is in my blocked domain list for a reason. There are some sites that are complicit and other sites I suspect are in on it. The Internet and by extension the Fediverse is anonymous, and just became someone is a mod or admin, does not make them a good person. "

" post 2 of 2 (follow-up)

It seems they have removed hanadinurse88, but since they also reported you (to you, not knowing you are the admin of your own site), you see what I am dealing with.

Many scam groups show two sides... a legitimate side and a scammer side. It is how they manage circumstances to their advantage and manipulate moderation systems to evade accountability.

You did the right thing, and it was obvious, so someone couldn't ignore it. But you were also inconvenient to their operation, and so you were reported for voicing yourself.

Alt...

The screenshot is of a private message between myself using my alternative account Linux @ fairy.id and a concerned user. The alt text is already included in the post. The names were removed to protect the innocent (the person being taken advantage of and the person who brought this to my attention).

Progress update on ProfessionalNetworking.eu

An open, federated alternative to LinkedIn, built on ActivityPub, so you can find and follow people across servers instead of inside one company's platform.

Phase 1 is done: dev environment, C4 architecture model, a 17-entity data model and 8 design decisions (ADRs). I'm building on Rails and the Fedipub gem.

Next: database schema, then the first federated slice: follow, posts and boosts.

ca me coûte d'évoquer ce qui va suivre mais faut que je dise

le médecin legiste a trouvé des griffures sur le corps de ce salaud
sur le cou du cote droit
des coups raporoches sur lavant du tibia droit
traces recentes
ca signifie pour lui
la victime a été attaquée par derrière
elle s'est defendue mais elle a très vite cessé
il pense l'agresseur a utilisé un lacet pour l'étranger le flux sanguin est très rapidement coupé entrainant une perte de connaissance très rapide
les mains de l'agresseur devzit se trouver derrière sa nuque c'est pourquoi elle n'a pu atteindre que le cou
pour l'enquêteur la voiture devait etre garée devant l'entrée il y a une place arrêt 15 minutes pourbles livraisons de la petite ´boutique à côté
celle ci ouvre plus tard
le gerant descend generalement 1/2 h après shieko
il ny a pas d'autre mouvement dans l'immeuble qui n'a que 2appartements
lagresseut devait attendre shieko dans un ecart derriere lescalier dans le hall
il disposait d'au moins 20 minutes
la lutte n'a pas duré plus de 1au maximum 2 minutes
il a pu charger le corps dans la voiture fouiller le sac de shie trouvé le hanko monter un etage et glisser la lettre sous la porte puis repartir le tout en moins de 20 minutes
pas un cri pas un bruit

notre shie ne s'est pas laissée faire mais sans entraînement elle ne pouvait rien
ce genre d'agression on a une ou deux secondes pour sen sortir pas plus à condition de savour précisément comment faire
le cerveau cesse très vite detre capable de réagir
cest affreux

How littleFedi will be released

The release of littleFedi is scheduled for 1 October 2026.

The release will happen in phases but, from the very first day, it will be possible to use the software in its entirety. Tests and complete documentation are still under heavy revision and will not be ready by then, but we do not want to postpone the release any further.
The code has already been reviewed by several people, who gave us feedback and suggestions I cared a lot about. I want to thank everyone who did it. You know who you are.

There will probably be many bugs because, and this also came out during the reviews, although I already knew it, the quality of the code is not uniform yet.

littleFedi was created by different people, at different times, working on different components and with different levels of experience. And it shows: some parts of the code are of good quality. Others are not.

The reviews of the last few months tried to make things more consistent, but clearly this is not an easy task. In the end, what matters to me is not that the code is beautiful, but that it is sufficiently lean and secure.

So far, the reviews performed have not found security problems serious enough to block the release. Everything else can be fixed along the way.

For the moment, distribution will not happen through BSD Cafe Brew, our Forgejo instance, but directly from the littleFedi website:

https://littlefedi.org

You will be able to download a source tarball, or latest, which will simply point to the same tarball. Inside the binaries directory there will also be around 180 precompiled builds for the different platforms and all the possible feature combinations, for example PostgreSQL + S3.

Blog support will be included in all precompiled builds.

Of course, those binaries have not been tested on every single platform. I do not have an AIX/ppc64 machine available, let alone a Windows machine.

But they compile, and at this stage that is enough for me.
For the moment, there will not be fixed releases.

New builds and source releases will be published whenever appropriate, distributed in the same way. The goal is to eventually publish everything on BSD Cafe Brew, our Forgejo instance, but this will happen when tests, complete documentation and the rest are ready too. In practice, at this stage the team prefers to keep more direct control over releases and the management of code, patches and so on.

The license is still MIT, so there is maximum freedom to use and modify the software. This is simply what the team has chosen for now.

The official announcement account will be this one, hosted on the littleOne instance:

@littlefedi_official@littleone.littlefedi.social

https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@littlefedi_official

littleOne will remain online as a test instance. I would not really call it the "official" littleFedi instance, but almost. In the future we may create a larger instance using PostgreSQL, S3 and so on. But this is not really the purpose of littleFedi.

littleFedi is about decentralisation and control over your own data. In an ideal world, everyone would have their own Fediverse software, their own instance, different levels of federation, like Bubbles, which still need some refinement in littleFedi, and allowlists and/or blocklists.

For now, this is just a small step in that direction, adding another alternative to already excellent software such as Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, Mitra and others.

1 October is close, and the release will be accompanied by a post containing some background information and details that have never been revealed before.

Those details will also help explain some of the technical choices behind the software itself, and why I am the one presenting it to the world. I have not decided yet whether I will publish it here or on my IT Notes blog, but it will definitely be announced.

We are almost there.

It has been a long journey to reach this point, and the best part has not even started yet.

Fasten your seat belts, we are ready to go again!

Have you ever met someone from the Fediverse in person to do something together?

I don't mean at a Fediverse-related event. If you have, I'd be curious to hear what kind of activity brought you together.

I've seen people from other social media platforms organize offline activities and meetups, Facebook and Instagram (Meta), Orkut (Google), and Twitter (now X), and I'm curious whether this happens through the Fediverse too.

Please, boost to find more activities, if any.

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117197654600279594

Protestors pushed me too far ― repeatedly ― over a period of around eighteen months.

Incidents on 30th and 31st August 2026 pushed me too far, in ways that citizens of a normal community can not possibly imagine.

People sometimes randomly complain that Reddit is a cesspit.

The citizens of the Fediverse have ― as a horde ― successfully federated to create a global community that is worse than I ever predicted. Worse than any combination of X + Truth Social. It's not a normal community.

It's abnormal.

Now I understand why Reddit, Inc. began using the word "community" instead of "subreddit". Reddit has features ― some obscure, some not ― that permit a community to flourish.

Flourish, without overall degradation from protestors who imagine that their individual and collective voices are always acceptable in any situation that suits them.

A Fediverse that lacks comparable subsections has failed me.

On 1st September, I used a feature of Mastodon to begin elevating a concept that is not normally associated with Mastodon:

― guard rails.

I enjoy this newly guarded, assisted Fediverse, in a way that pleases me, and should please other people.

It's probably fair to say that the era of me encouraging people to use Mastodon has ended.

Farewell to the Fediverse that failed, the one that's abnormally cohesive.

Welcome to a guarded Fediverse that has a greater possibility of winning.

Wer die Idee von dezentralen Netzwerke (wie hier im #Fediverse) gut findet, der sollte sich auf jeden Fall auch mal #XMPP ansehen.

XMPP ist ein offener Standard für Instant Messaging (#Messenger). Der Nutzer ist frei bei der Wahl des Anbieters und der Anwendung.

Mehr Informationen gibt es z.b. auf https://anoxinon.media/blog/xmpp1/

✅ Offener Standard
✅ Server und Clients sind als freie Software verfügbar
✅ Frei bei der Wahl des Anbieters
✅ Die Möglichkeit den Dienst selber zu betreiben

Im Interesse der Dezentralität gibt es meinen Vortrag „Jabber/XMPP: 25 Jahre Digitale Souveränität“ von den Datenspuren letzte Woche übrigens auch auf meinem PeerTube.

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

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

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

Bonjour le #fediverse
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You know, the Fediverse reminds me of the local oval in my childhood neighbourhood.

Every day after school, I'd get home, raid the fridge and bolt out the door to the oval. I had no idea who would be there but other kids would always pop in and we'd kick the ball around or organise a game. Then, darkness would fall and we'd all disappear.

We never called each other or planned anything but we connected when our paths crossed. I really like being back in that world.

For nerd folks who want to help their nerd friends discover the fediverse I think fedi.txw.ca/feed can be a nice tool. I built it to have a clean work safe feed of nerd topics I enjoy that my akkoma instance had collected in its federated timeline. I’m really lucky to have met so many cool nerds here and seen so many cool things.

So our friends who don’t have accounts or who would get overwhelmed by your instances federated timeline can get a peek of all the cool nerdy stuff going on in the Fediverse, and hopefully eventually ask you how to get an account on the fediverse!

A while ago I asked people here whether they use Lemmy or Reddit. The results got me thinking: even among people who already use and like the Fediverse, Lemmy seems to be surprisingly small.

So I wrote about why that might be & why I think Lemmy deserves more users.

> Old forums: independent, but isolated.
> Reddit: connected, but centralized.
> Lemmy: independent and connected.

On the desk sits a small white, fluffy dog, a stack of colorful books labeled "TECH & FOSS", "POLITICS", "MUSIC", and "BOOKS", a black mug with "Marmite Pete" on it, and a black ThinkPad laptop. A wooden block in the foreground reads "Pete Cannon Not a nutter", while a monitor in the background displays "peterc[@]th "peterc[@]thinkpad:~$".

URGENT. PLEASE BOOST. Got a call from the hospital with some unexpected results- yet *another* infection. I'm so tired. No wonder I feel so unwell and have so much pain😅

Only a few days to go before my next surgery(let's hope this one is successful😅), but now I need antibiotics again. I'm under the poverty line, flat broke, disabled and chronically ill, and struggling with this infection. Could you help please? I can't do without the antibiotics. My goal is $50 to get the meds and some food for lunch and dinner today because I'm too unwell to cook.

Thank you so, so much for helping❤️

Bonjour le #Fediverse

Mon jeune ami Feras 🍉🇵🇸, avec qui je discute sur WhatsApp, ne dispose plus de compte #Mastodon.

Il est dans une situation compliquée, comme vous pouvez l'imaginer. Il n'ose pas me demander de l'aide pour partager sa cagnotte, alors je le fais de moi-même.

Son père et lui sont déçus du Fediverse. Leur compte a censuré deux fois, sans avertissement de ses instances.

Pourtant je peux vous assurer que c'est un vrai petit gars. C'est son père qui l'assiste (il est jeune).

Il m'a dit qu'il allait se refaire un compte, sans me dire quand ni me donner d'indice.

🙏

🌐 Einladung zur nächsten Fediverse-Sprechstunde

Am Montag, 28.09.2026 um 19:30 Uhr ist es wieder so weit – wir treffen uns online zur nächsten Fediverse-Sprechstunde.

Diesmal freue ich mich besonders auf unseren Gast @wintermeyer . Gemeinsam schauen wir auf zwei seiner Projekte, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten:

🔹 vutuv.de – eine Alternative zu LinkedIn, die bereits heute von vielen Menschen als berufliches Netzwerk genutzt wird und dabei auch die Verbindung zum Fediverse mitdenkt.

🔹 abuuba.com – ein ganz anderes Projekt: technisch, experimentell und bewusst als „Weckruf“ in Richtung Mastodon gedacht. Hier geht es vor allem um die Frage, was bei der Geschwindigkeit und technischen Umsetzung eines Fediverse-Servers möglich ist.

Unser Thema lautet deshalb:

„Was kann man mit ActivityPub noch alles machen? – vutuv und abuuba“

Wir möchten die beiden Projekte ganz bewusst getrennt voneinander betrachten, denn sie verfolgen unterschiedliche Ziele und richten sich an unterschiedliche Nutzergruppen.

Stefan wird uns erzählen, was hinter den Projekten steckt, wie sie entstanden sind und welche Ideen ihn dabei antreiben.

Und natürlich soll es wieder keine Einbahnstraße werden. 😊
Fragen, Gedanken, Erfahrungen und Diskussionen sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Gerade davon lebt die Fediverse-Sprechstunde.

📅 Montag, 28.09.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
💻 online Konferenzraum: campus.ws-12.de/rooms/8p9-mvy-…

Wer neugierig auf ActivityPub, neue Fediverse-Projekte oder einfach auf einen spannenden Austausch ist, ist herzlich eingeladen.

📢 Bitte gern weitersagen und teilen!

In der Mitte symbolisieren vernetzte Punkte und Sprechblasen Austausch und Föderation. Unten stehen Hinweise zu Termin, Online-Veranstaltung sowie Fragen, Diskussion und Austausch.

Bonjour le #fediverse
j'ai pas le courage de pouetter
pardonnez moi
on dort mal
jai des cauchemars
pas les anciens des nouveaux
je vous tiendrai au courant si on a des nouvelles
je vous aime tres fort mais je me sens un peu lasse et je dois garder mon énergie pour les élèves

le monde est vide d'une seule absence
le ciel est gris comme nos coeurs
oh petite chie où es-tu ?

Das Fediverse braucht mehr Öffentlichkeit. Und Friedhelm macht einfach mal was dafür:

Er hat zahlreiche Fernsehsender, Zeitungen und Online-Redaktionen angeschrieben und angeregt, nicht immer nur über die Probleme von Facebook, Instagram, X und TikTok zu berichten, sondern auch über die längst vorhandenen Alternativen.

Sehr schöne Aktion. Nachmachen ausdrücklich erwünscht.

Hey everyone,

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

They are:

• Khaled Alwan🇵🇸🐈‍⬛ (@Khaledalwan)
• شادي الشمالي (@shady2020)
• Eng-Farah-Gaza (@EngFarahGaza)

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

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

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

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

💕

a SIEM for ActivityPub and the Fediverse???

Yeah, coming very soon....

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

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

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

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

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

@Chaotica Ich fürchte leider, dass die selbst hier im #Fediverse schwer zu finden sein werden.

Bonsoir #fediverse
vous etes toustes merveilleux
un grand merci collectif
pardonnez moi de pas encore repondre individuellement
ce matin jai revu mes psy
ils sont formidables
très impliqués
ils m'ont assurés jai pas,a avoir peur de ma colère elle est legitime et cest ma facon à moi de réagir et me protéger du malheur avec mes moyens
oui je suis violente lais je suis parfaitement capable de maitriser et orienter cette violence pour la transformer
ils m'ont conseillée de sortir mon sabre puisque ça me permet de tenir mon ego à distance et pratiquer ma forme de meditation active en moubliant dans les kana
je suis sortie tres calmee déjà
j'ai mangé un énorme yakitori pour faire marcher mes machoires puis je suis rentrée et j'ai sorti ma lame de paix celle offerte par mon frère sortie du tresor familial
je la degaine tres rarement par respect mais cette fois c'était l'occasion ou jamais
puis j'ai pratiqué les kana jai dansé ma danse pendant deux heures
jai pas vu le temps
j'étais totalement fondue dans la lame et la danse
je suis sortie parfaitement calmée l'esprit en paix
je peux affronter la réalité dans toute son horreur sans fremir ni de rage ni de désespoir
au moins cette nuit je pourrai dormir
nous attendons des nouvelles
on n'a pas retrouvé ce salaud
sil sest enfoncé profondément dans la forêt on le retrouvera peut être jamais
nous espérons que au moins on retrouvera shieko et que on pourra lui offrir un lieu de repos décent
la police n'a aucune piste
ce que nous craignons maintenant cest le classement sous la rubrique disparue
que faire d'autre sinon prier ?
Midori va mieux elle prend du recul assez pour accepter le deuil
Asu est auprès d'elle
elles font de grandes marches apaisantes dans la montagne
ma princesse est arrivée
Je vous aime tellement je sais pas comment vous le dire
merci

> Mastodon is memory hungry, RAM is really expensive now

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

📅 12. Hubzilla-Workshop – Kalender, CalDAV & CardDAV

Am Mittwoch, 30. September 2026 um 19:30 Uhr geht es weiter mit unserem nächsten Hubzilla-Workshop.

Diesmal schauen wir uns ein Thema an, das im Alltag richtig praktisch werden kann:

👉 Kalender / CalDAV und CardDAV

Hubzilla kann nämlich deutlich mehr als Beiträge schreiben, kommentieren und Inhalte föderieren. Auch Kalender und Kontakte lassen sich verwalten und mit anderen Geräten oder Anwendungen synchronisieren.

Doch wie funktioniert das eigentlich genau?

🔹 Wie nutze ich den Kalender in Hubzilla?
🔹 Was ist CalDAV und wie richte ich es ein?
🔹 Wie funktioniert CardDAV für Kontakte?
🔹 Kann ich Kalender und Kontakte mit Smartphone oder Computer synchronisieren?
🔹 Und wo liegen vielleicht Stolperfallen bei der Einrichtung?

Genau das wollen wir uns gemeinsam anschauen und natürlich auch ausprobieren.

Wie immer gilt: Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. 😊

Egal, ob du Hubzilla bereits nutzt, gerade erst entdeckst oder einfach neugierig bist, was damit alles möglich ist – du bist herzlich willkommen.

Und natürlich bleibt auch wieder genügend Raum für Fragen rund um Hubzilla, Erfahrungsaustausch und vielleicht auch die eine oder andere kleine Abschweifung. 😉

Auch erfahrene Hubzilla-Nutzer und Admins sind ausdrücklich willkommen. Denn gerade beim gemeinsamen Austausch zeigt sich immer wieder: Jeder kennt andere Funktionen, hat andere Erfahrungen – und keiner weiß wirklich alles.

📅 Mittwoch, 30.09.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
💡 Thema: Kalender / CalDAV und CardDAV

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

Unsere Termin-Planung für diese Woche ist möglicherweise ein wenig eskaliert...

Im Okober wird es voraussichtlich auch noch Käse&Wein, Sip&Paint, sowie einen Bingo-Abend geben.

Damit niemand den Überblick verliert, könnt Ihr alle Termine auch auf unserer Mobilizon-Seite sehen oder uns mit Eurem #Fediverse-Account folgen:

Es gibt dort übrigens auch einen ICS-Feed für die Kalender-App Eurer Wahl:
