atomicpoet, (edited ) President Joe Biden’s Threads account @potus is federating on the Fediverse!
And I’m following him from atomicpoet.org!
Wow! This is as monumental as Barack Obama joining Twitter! A truly historic day for the #Fediverse!
dansup, (edited ) Meta aka Instagram is working on a Twitter competitor that is rumored to be ActivityPub compatible.
If you run a fediverse instance (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey and others), would you ban a Meta instance?
Boosts appreciated 👍 #fediverse #barcelona #activityPub #meta
jan, @dansup 10 Mar 2023 Exclusive: Meta mulls a Twitter competitor codenamed ‘P92’ that will be interoperable with Mastodon
supremechlorophyll, @dansup Anyone who, in 2023, votes No or Undecided on this might want to refresh their knowledge about Meta's business practices by reading the damning 74-page report by Amnesty International on Facebook's role in the 2017 Rohingya ethnic cleansing in Myanmar:

Aakerbeere, German 💬 Warum #ARD???
ACHTUNG:
👉 Google-Tracking beim
Mastodon-Server der ARD
https://ard.socialWir sollten das NICHT einfach so hinnehmen!
#ÖRRbewegen #Tracking #NDR #ÖRR #Google #Mastodon #Fediverse
prefec2, German @Aakerbeere Das hört sich für mich nach Hosting und nicht nach Tracker an. Sie hätten natürlich auch einen anderen Hoster nehmen können z.B. Amazon, Microsoft oder Telekom.
funkylab, German @jimclark @prefec2 @NZyniker @onlytina @Aakerbeere
Ich glaub' so schwer isses nicht:
- Google vermietet an die ARD einen Server. Google ist nicht der Diensteanbieter, es fallen keine vertraulichen Daten bei Google an
- Google kann in das, was der Kunde ARD auf dem Mietserver macht, praktisch nicht reinschauen
- Google kann nicht mal theoretisch tracking cookies via Mastodon ausliefern. Das ist nicht wie Mastodon funktioniert.
- Verschwörungstheorien lenken von echtem Schindluder ab.
stefan, (edited ) Have you ever made a donation to a fediverse server admin?
#fediverse #mastodon #MastoAdmins #poll #survey #SocialMedia #donation
stefan, I wish I could add a fifth option for people who host their own instance, which is my case.
But I did donate to the admin of https://botsin.space, where I host my bots.
amoroso, @stefan I recently run a related poll:
hpkomic, How about this? For every like I receive on this toot, I will mention one thing I think is cool.
Get to know me here on the #fediverse. I am more than just a talented shitposter.
Comment if you have specific things you're curious about.
hpkomic, @CatComixzStudios either works to get blasted in the ass
onelson, @hpkomic TIL there is a diet baja blast. Finally I can taste this.
bauhausmensch, German Der Ausstieg der #PIRATEN bei #X und die Fokussierung auf das #Fediverse gestaltet sich äußerst zäh, da drüben noch 158.366 Follower vorhanden sind.
Der offizielle Mastodon-Account der #Piratenpartei hat dagegen gerade mal 759 Follower.Wir brauchen wohl mehr Follower auf @piratenpartei 🤔
moeria, German @2ndStar @marquito @bauhausmensch @feb @piratenpartei Am Traurigsten finde ich es für die Piraten selbst. Wie soll denn aus einer solchen Kultur was Konstruktives erwachsen? Erwarten das die Sabotierenden überhaupt? Über allem sollten doch die Werte und das ihnen folgende Engagement stehen. Klar, können da Unterschiede bestehen, deswegen wird ja geredet. Manche Dinge sollten aber ein No-Go sein. Etwa Unterstützung von Hasskultur, Entmenschlichung, Lebengefährdung, Demokratieaushöhlung.
marquito, German @2ndStar @moeria @bauhausmensch @feb @piratenpartei
Im Zusammenhang mit der "richtigen" Plattform ist dieser Artikel noch interessant, der gerade raus kam:
Und auch hier muss man sich nochmal klar machen: Wenn man sich von allen toxischen Plattformen "mal eben" zurück zieht, hat man vermutlich gar keine Reichweite mehr. Dafür sind die Piraten zu klein. X ist natürlich einExtremfall.
An sich stellt sich die Frage, wofür die Piraten heute eigentlich stehen!
Gina, Dear #fediverse friends, please help me make another completely insignificant choice.
My corded drill died so I'm finally allowed to buy a new cordless one. 🥳 Problem is that I found 3 identical drills:
- Bosch: https://www.gamma.nl/assortiment/bosch-18v-accuboormachine-universaldrill-systeembox-met-241-accessoires-incl-2-accu-s-1-5ah-lader/p/B162059

cyplo, @Gina @th I am very happy with Makita overall, 2 years of house renovation an counting. Would also recommend going with the LXT batteries. For hammer drills - I'm very happy with this one from Makita - https://tools4trade.co.uk/products/makita-dhr202z-18v-rotary-hammer-large-case-type-3-insert-tray goes through my brick walls like through butter, esp compared to my regular cordless drill, which is from Ryobi and is generally meh
Hiddentootster, @Gina
Dewalt!
rysiek, Looks like #Lemmy and #Kbin keep being mentioned together, which to me suggests we might have averted "mastodonization" of the #threadiverse — i.e. a situation where the whole network gets identified with a single piece of software. 🎉
This is the way. :blobcatcool:
ivy, @hook @rysiek the biggest difference I would give between the two is kbin federates nicely with microblog content. kbin posts will show up properly on something like mastodon instead of just being a headline and link like lemmy stuff. also you can view, follow and create microblog content on kbin
if you want to try it out, I'm hosting an instance with open registration at https://fedi196.gay
Ishmael, @rysiek Don't forget Bookwyrm, that's a great alternative for Goodreads.
Jyoti, MY FELLOW FEDIVERSE GEEKS - PLEASE HELP!
I wish to abandon YouTube because they are absolute fucking dickheads. I currently have 28K subscribers for 141 vids.
My current YT channel is a mix of my original music videos, gear reviews and other bits and bobs.
Which Peertube server would you recommend me to join?
andypiper, @Jyoti maybe diode.zone (at least on the gadget review piece) or makertube?
jeff, start your own
belastingdienst, Dutch Hallo! Wij zijn het webcareteam van de #Belastingdienst en we kijken ernaar uit jullie ook in de #Fediverse te helpen bij al je vragen over belastingzaken en onze processen.
Bijvoorbeeld over het invullen van je belastingaangifte, het aanvragen of wijzigen van een voorlopige aanslag, of het wijzigen van je rekeningnummer.
Een toeslagvraag? Ga dan naar de accounts van Dienst Toeslagen op de ‘andere’ social mediaplatformen.
Dus daar gaan we: hoe kunnen we je helpen?
RobvanderRijt, Dutch @belastingdienst Beste TU, klopt die zit erbij, maar ik zou het graag in termijnen willen doen, en ik kan die optie op het formulier niet vinden. Bellen met e belastingtelefoon zou ook kunnen, maar gisteren bedroeg de wachttijd meer dan 30 min. is er een andere optie, misschien online, on zo'n termijn machtigings formulier te krijgen?
belastingdienst, Dutch @RobvanderRijt Het machtigingsformulier is juist bedoeld voor de maandelijkse afschrijving. Zodra je het formulier naar ons hebt gestuurd, zorgen wij ervoor dat er in gelijke termijnen over de rest van het jaar wordt afgeschreven. Dat moet dus helemaal goed komen! ^HS
asahi95, Attention #Fedi, please be on the lookout for fake crypto scam bot accounts coming from mastodon.social
Remember to check the username and make sure to report and block these account as much as you can!
:BoostOK: Be sure to boost this for more attention
GoatRoper, @asahi95
I blocked/reported the same post this morning.
Scheming, @asahi95 yeah got tagged by one of these a while ago, and I reported it, but it was kind of weird that it didn’t ask me to specify why I was reporting it, kind of just said thanks 😂
smallcircles, 🤩 Aren't you just delighted by all those proprietary software apps for the #Fediverse?
😮 Don't be. Each time you choose proprietary you help turn the fedi slowly in the direction of the usual corporate hellscape that the rest of the Web already is.
😨 And then we end up in an online space where for years we can complain to each other how we squandered an opportunity and how #capitalism won once more.
🎯 Use #FOSS apps instead, created by the public for the public.
🌻 Keep the Fediverse open.
mativity, @smallcircles can you tell me what i should look out for? Haven’t seen any to my knowledge
hamishcampbell, @smallcircles a mess indeed, and mess making all round.
As you just said, we can't keep doing this crap.
Composting is the path for #fahernistas #NGO parasites and the #geekproblem #blocking the core of this mess.
Think positive #OGB #OMN #indymediaback #makeinghistory projects outside this mess making, need crew, focus and dev :)
And #dontbeaprat is a good hashtag for this http://hamishcampbell.com/2023/10/09/dontbeaprat-whats-next/
mike, The network effect for #ActivityPub is gaining some serious momentum right now. As more services adopt the protocol, more people, more communities and more content are added to the network making it increasingly more valuable for everyone. This will only accelerate in the coming months as Threads, Wordpress, Tumblr, Flipboard and others federate.
We're still in early innings but there's no way to put this genie back in the bottle. The open social Web / the #Fediverse is going to be huge.
mike, @kajkandler This is a really good question because ActivityPub is similar to RSS with two really important differences. 1) ActivityPub is two way. While RSS broadcasts content it does not have a way to know if someone liked, boosted or commented on that content. 2) RSS forms a connection between a blog and an RSS app. ActivityPub forms a follow connection between an account and another account. This means if you move from one reader app to another the connection is maintained.
mike, @nunesdennis @evan Our plan is to fully federate in the coming months so that anyone in the Fediverse can follow and engage with anyone curating on Flipboard and anyone on Flipboard can follow and engage with any public account in the Fediverse.
Stay tuned for more details soon.
janeadams, THREAD: I made a series of images for an Instagram post I made about migrating to the fediverse. I figured I'd share with anyone else who wants to use, so I included some blank template versions too. DM if you'd like the Adobe Illustrator file so you can make your own edits. And please,comment if I got anything wrong so I can correct it.

#fediverso #decentralizado #comunidad #instancia #moderacion #privacidad
... ¿el qué? Tal vez ya hayas escuchado acerca del “Fediverso” o plataformas nuevas como Mastodon o Pixelfed. ¿Por qué hay gente que abandona apps de redes sociales tradicionales como Instagram, Facebook, Twitter o Reddit? Porque son plataformas centralizadas de medios sociales, lo que significa que tienen un centro de control que decide cuánto cuestan, dónde van tus datos, a quién bloquean o cuánta publicidad ves con respecto al contenido (¡mucha!). El Fediverso, por otro lado, es descentralizado. Esas decisiones se toman dentro de cada comunidad.
Anna está en el servidor Q El servidor Q se federa con el servidor X Bob está en el servidor X Anna y Bob pueden ver y darle like a sus posts respectivos porque sus servidores se federan entre sí. Cada centro, o “instancia” del fediverso es un servidor, una comunidad con un interés común. ¡Pero puedes ver e interactuar con personas en otros servidores! Las redes pueden federarse porque tienen el mismo protocolo de datos- es decir, que la información se almacena en el mismo formato (ActivityPub) a través de todos los servidores del fediverso.
Los servidores también pueden defederarse de otros según retroalimentación de la comunidad. Si un servidor permite contantemente que se publique contenido que no está permitido en otro servidor, podría ser defederado. Discusiones de desfederación a veces ocurren con el hashtag #Fediblock. La desfederación podría revertirse si el servidor cambia de políticas para mantener a salvo al resto de las comunidades. Los usuarios también pueden silenciar y bloquear a nivel individual.
hyde, What Lemmy .. Group do you follow ( still not sure how do you call them)
For now I just have :
I'm sure there are more interesting ones that I'm not aware of :)
And the best part you dont even have to have an account there thanks to #activitypub and the #fediverse
squaresinger, That's because the links posted are in the wrong format. Correct would be c/linux@lemmy.ml, /c/linux@lemmy.ml or !linux

Realistically how does the fediverse make money and remain sustainable? only donations?
I started using mastodon when musk bought twitter and kbin with all the reddit API shitshow. I like the idea of the fediverse but how does it have longevity?
pfefferle, (edited ) WordPress.org is counting 3.000 installations of the #ActivityPub Plugin so far 🎉
ctietze, @pfefferle Nice ob! :)
europlus, @pfefferle @europlus Surprised I was in the first 3,000 somewhere!
This spammer created multiple accounts on various Lemmy instances to post self advertisements. How do we combat this?
Kbin Roadmap 2023
A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...
dansup, I'm working to improve the @pixelfed mobile app onboarding.
It will probably be seen as more controversial than the Mastodon app.
I'm okay with that.
Some people claim we're emulating popular platforms as if it's a bad thing, like we're selling user data or building communities without safety and moderation.
Ignore them, growth isn't a bad thing, we need to make the #fediverse easy to join, and moderate!
Every fedi project emulates an existing service, nothing is new lol
liaizon, @dansup @pixelfed if this post is about setting up a default server PLEASE dont go down the rout mastodon has taken. Like seriously as someone who has continually hyped pixelfed for years and have been interacting with you since the beginning, having a default server set in the mobile apps is the wrong way to make onboarding easier. There are so many other ways we can go about this
dansup, Greek
cliffwade, (edited ) What season of the year do you prefer the most?
Please BOOST for maximum exposure to the #Fediverse
COMMENT below and tell me why you like the season you voted for!
Polls are limited to only 4 options, or else there would be others to choose from.
#Poll #Polls #POTD #Summer #Fall #Winter #Spring #AllThingsTech
hoofin, @cliffwade Spring was in second place. Given this summer, it's no surprise fall won out.
peterdeppisch, @cliffwade Indian Summer.
cliffwade, What is the story behind your username that you use here on the #Fediverse and possibly other places?
Most everyone has a story behind the username(s) that they use, and others often want to know what it is.
cliffwade, I now pretty much only use my real name on most platforms and have for a few years now.
I used to use Hawkwind as my username most everywhere and did so since around 1986. Hawkwind, the Seer Of Souls, is a character that was first introduced in my favorite game of all time, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar back in 1986. While it's also a band, it's not associated with the band in any way.
cliffwade, @og That's pretty neat. I would assume it's likely pretty difficult to get the name "OG" on most platforms today though. So I'd guess you likely have to add other stuff to OG at times?
OC Full, expanded list of all the data points and their purposes that Meta's Threads collect and link to user accounts. It's even more insane than you might've thought.
I hope that "Go back to Reddit" doesn't become a recurring jab used against others in the fediverse
Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.
