Reminder: #Fediverse#Developer Network meetup in about 12 hours: Wednesday June 5th at 9:00am pacific.
You are all invited, particularly if you are a #developer new to ActivityPub and the #fediverse, or if you have an existing implementation and are interested in the first round of test results from @feditest!
Taking some personal days to re-evaluate stuff and think about the future of Operation: Puppet.
The more time that passes, the more I want to invest my time in the #fediverse and the #indieweb. I have a tiny following here but the corpo web is such a dystopian steel wall that at least here there’s a path forward for regular folks.
So in the quest to purge as many shitty services from my life as I can, how are the alternative federated Reddit alternatives going these days? Did any of them get any traction? #fediverse
Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @karels - a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte
Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.
Very exciting that @drlucyrogers is here in the #fediverse! Let's welcome her! Great talk at #emfcamp about the science and wonders of looking up, so hoping to see that video available before too long 🎉
Let’s start our Tuesday morning with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and discuss what our plans are for the day.
It’s just a regular ol’ work day here for me. The day to day IT/MSP stuff with support stuff mixed in between. Then tonight will just be some website work and relaxing so the my wife and watching TV.
Block Suggest, a new feature coming to Pixelfed that allows you to suggest to mutual followers to block a specific account when you block them.
Imagine a Mute, Block and Block & Suggest Button
The recipients will get a special notification that explains the suggested you block them with optional context and on the web ui and official app, you will be able to block or ignore with one tap!
I just hit send on the Open Letter to the Speaker, Clerks of the House and Senate and the Chair of the House Procedures and House Affairs Committee. (and cc'ed to other relevant Ministers, MPs and Senator)
67 signatures included! Anyone can still add one on the web version.
Thanks 🙏 for helping to push this. There may be a third (and final!) push, but it will be Canada only.
THANK YOU!
Beide Gesellschaften schreiben dazu: „Wir teilen und fördern die Prinzipien von #OpenScience, Open Education und #OpenSource für die Hochschulbildung und wollen sie auch praktisch umsetzen. .... Darüber hinaus setzen wir uns damit für Konzepte wie digitale Souveränität und gemeinschaftlich organisierte Dienste im Sinne einer Kultur der Digitalität ein. Die Bereitstellung solcher Dienste im Fediverse (wie #Mastodon) ermöglicht uns als wissenschaftliche Fachgesellschaften, Gestaltungshoheit zu wahren und unabhängige, #datenschutzfreundliche Infrastrukturen zu fördern.“ #unisinsfediverse
I wrote about how Patreon needs to join the #Fediverse:
"Why would a creator send their audience to a third-party platform when Instagram and Threads can be a one-stop-shop with their existing followers while having access to new paid subscribers across the social web?
Patreon can no longer just be the place where creators are paid, it needs to be a place where creators can be discovered. And it cannot do that as a social silo."
