Two years ago, #EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey launching a pilot project of two decentralised social media platforms: #EUVoice & #EUVideo.

18 May will mark the end of the project. Time to review the results of this successful story.

Will they allow their voice in the to solely rely upon when the latter federates in (as the 🇪🇺 is active upon there)‽

Szukam sobie spokojnej instancji fediverse do dzielenia się codziennością cyfrowego nomady.

@knightdave Witaj Człowieku, jeśli chodzi o Mastodona to chyba mogę polecić pol.social od @ftdl. Obecnie jeśli miałbym rezygnować z tej instancji to tylko na rzecz własnej (co jest obecnie dla mnie nierealne) lub zupełnie czegoś innego niż Mastodon (o ile mnie zwali z nóg).
Mam też konto na 101010.pl od @xaphanpl, ale to zapasowe. Byłem tam przez długi czas i było bardzo przyjemnie.
Ale jeśli chcesz pisać dłuższe teksty lub udostępniać linki to warto pomyśleć na czymś innym niż #Mastodon, np. #kbin. Tutaj również polecam fajną i stabilną instancję od FTDL - bin.pol.social.
A jeżeli chcesz pisać bardzo długie teksty to może warto pomyśleć nad blogiem połączonym z Fediverse? Tutaj mogę też polecić #WriteFreely, a konkretnie instancję @to3k WriteFreely.pl (którą swoją drogą też jest na serwerach FTDL).

I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

@dansup I believe a better option would be premium hosting. Basically allow users of to host content under their own domain, & you could throw in the checkmark as a bonus. 😉

Similar to how @matt provides premium hosting to via Write.as & @photomatt provides premium hosting via WP.com (are there any other examples‽).

It would benefit the community plus encourage other hosts to take a second look at Pixelfed.

Słuchajcie, może nie jest to do końca sprawa na #fedihelp, ale z drugiej strony nie mam gdzie indziej się zapytać.

Otóż. Mam bloga na wordpressie (w witrynie wordpress, nie na silniku). A wyciekł nius, że właściciel tumblra i wordpressa chce sprzedać swoją bazę OpenAI do trenowania AI-ów.

W związku z tym pytam: czy jeśli skasuję teraz bloga i gdzieś go przeniosę, to to coś w ogóle zmieni? W sensie, czy uchroni to moje teksty przed byciem pożywką dla AI? I jak się do tego zabrać, żeby nie umrzeć od natłoku dodatkowej pracy? Jakie hostingi blogowe polecacie? Pls, help, bo czuję się bardzo bezradna w tej sprawie 😥

Lada tydzień rusza nowa kooperatywa osób tworzących treści, która w temacie blogów będzie oferowała hosting Ghost i WordPress oraz blogi statyczne (wiele rozwiązań). Będzie również możliwość pełnej pieczy nad WordPress-em przez osoby z it kooperatywy. Jakie będą "warunki" jeszcze nie mogę dokładnie sprecyzować, bo się krystalizują, jednak bardzo atrakcyjne na pewno. Bo to będzie po prostu zaspokojenie potrzeb przy minimalizacji nakładów, z wykorzystaniem efektu synergii :)

Jeśli przenosiny/zmiana hostingu nie są palące asap, IMO warto poczekać.

Z komercyjnych rozwiązań, można polecić MyDevil.

Również fundacja non-profit FTdL oferuje hosting WordPress-a w modelu wzajemnościowym: w ramach wzajemności wspierasz fundację kiedy możesz, ile możesz. Parametry do ustalenia. Strona FTdL.pl (WordPress) działa właśnie na takim hostingu.

Edit: natomiast blog w #fediverse, bez reklam, można założyć w serwisie https://writefreely.pl

To nie #WordPress a #WriteFreely więc możliwości inne, jednak jest to chyba jedyna oferta zupełnie bezkosztowa (wsparcie mile widziane) i bez reklam.

Przykłady WriteFreely to np. prasówki od @didleth tutaj -> https://writefreely.pl/didleth/h1prasowka-feministyczna-21-28-02-2024-h1 (czysty WF bez dostosowań) czy też blog @lukaso666 tutaj -> https://discrust.diy.net.pl/blog/frasunki-i-inne-malunki (dostosowanie poprzez własny CSS).

For federated comments on @write_as, I'm gonna start with just exposing Remark.as comments to the fediverse. This should at least get the basic data there, though you still won't receive replies from Mastodon etc.

Then I'll work on receiving replies from the wider fediverse, and finally moderation tools. We'll see how it looks with replies showing up in the Remark.as UI, and then maybe move to showing comments on blog posts themselves.

matt,

Made a bunch of progress on this today — now we're accepting and tracking the number of likes you get from the #fediverse on @write_as!

It's just not displayed anywhere. So that's the question — where do you want to see the number of likes you've received?

I know many people use #WriteFreely / Write.as to avoid likes and normal social media stuff. So should we just display the number on your stats page? Only to you on the post (e.g. next to "views")? Only in social spaces like Read.Write.as?

We can help you transition away from:

  • Substack
  • Twitter
  • Facebook/Instagram
  • Dropbox, iCloud, etx
  • Amazon/Audible
  • Google
  • Almost anything else!

You're in the right place already! Just pop up your hand and let us know what you need!

The main and probably easiest to transition to would be #Ghost. You can move to ghost.org, or another 3rd-party host, or host it yourself!

Migration guide: https://ghost.org/docs/migration/substack/

Official site: https://ghost.org/

There is also #Buttondown which I haven't checked out myself yet, but it's the next most popular alternative.

If you're not too concerned with the monetization aspects and into something clean & barebones, you could also consider #writeFreely (I use this myself).

https://writefreely.org/

#Wordpress is also an option, but I'm hesitant to recommend it, as #wp is a whole thing in it's own.

I hope that helps!

I don't know anyone that has both been successful in transforming a non-inclusive place, and hasn't been accused of sounding hostile.

I am not sure why you would assume otherwise when they repeatedly mention & Fediverse when talking to the media. Their intent is to dominate the future of social media, which is decentralization.

There is also a business case for them to do it as well, which I will type about later on .

atomicpoet, to fediverse

Decided to delete my old blog.

Mostly, it was because I was having domain issues that seemed too much of a pain in the ass to troubleshoot, and I decided that deleting was ultimately easier than figuring out a fix.

What can I say? I'm lazy.

But ultimately, I'd rather put all that stuff on the anyway.

Sure, I can't make everything look just so. But I think the truth is that most people don't care about the aesthetics of my blog theme. They care much more about receiving my messages.

When not considering themes, there's not much of a difference between maintaining a blog and updating a Fediverse account -- especially when you consider that so many platforms already support Markdown and HTML.

I'll go even further. is a blog platform that has integration out of the box. It works well.

And if you want a full CMS suite, both and are capable of being federated with an ActivityPub plug-in and they're getting better all the time.

At this point in time, I don't even want to blog without federation capabilities. That would be like opting for a unicycle instead of a bicycle. Sure, a unicycle is fun but not very practical.

If a key part of blogging is the practicality of being read -- but initiating dialogue -- then federation is extremely important. And it's becoming more and more important each day.

@atomicpoet FWIW, the last time I tried following a account from Mastodon the experience was less than stellar. Aside from the know issue with Mastodon mishandling non-Note content, I often didn't received updates. I don't know if this was due to WriteFreely requiring a pull, the server using an older version, or whatever else, but it was rather off-putting. I've had better experience with WordPress, Mastodon opinionated take on the Article type notwithstanding.

I haven't been as active today as typical. This is in part because my account impacts Calckey's performance quite a bit.

One of the quirks of the Fediverse is that success often comes with a performance hit.

@atomicpoet I agree! Ironically, it seems as if each platform has its own distinct culture.

is mostly serious conversations.

is about celebrating life, mostly in Japanese.

is about celebrating life, mostly in English.

has lots of sarcasm, but lots of trash talking.

is about capturing the beauty in everyday life.

is about undistracted, lengthy thoughts (mostly technical).

Just my general observations.

Feature suggestion for servers:

If an actor provides an outbox URL, but not an inbox URL, it means that it cannot receive Follow activities and it can not push content to the followers. In such cases, the follower's server should switch to periodic polling like RSS.

This will enable statically-built blogs ( etc) to appear in Mastodon network.
