@upol I've always considered starting a vlog, but who actually wants to watch someone waffle on about their day to day activities. I'm not doing exciting things everyday. 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent to see a new #SocialAudio service emerge that lets you do a TwitterSpaces-style audio streaming service via your #Mastodon account. This is one of the big holes I have seen missing in the #TwitterMigration
By its nature this is a centralized service… but in reading various comments it looks like you CAN self-host this “Audon” software, which means there are ways to decentralize this.

> What would be necessary for Peertube to have a TwitterMigration level event to happen?
What would make YT as unfriendly to video creators as the mHusk acquisition made Titter to journalists, academics etc? Mass deplatforming of certain kinds of content, like the banning of p0rn from Tumblr that drove a previous wave of immigration into the fediverse. Forcing ads into all videos and channels, even non-monetized ones. That kind of thing. It's something we can plan for, but not cause.
Yes (+1000) because I'm seeing an pretty inspiring mix of #Calckey early adopters and 'dog-fooders' like myself trying it out, maybe thinking about to move a main #Fediverse account over
The overall #CalcKey hashtag is just buzzing, plus a lot of in-server stuff on calckey.social. The quick responses from Calckey devs and admins and people close to this is just fantastic, as we learn and share so thank you all 💜
Got good hints and tip and things to share? Maybe we can also use a #Calckeytips hashtag - big nod to @youronlyone who is doing SUCH a great job simply to even stay on top of the chatter out there!!
Keep it coming ✨
As 'Quote-Post' here doesn't do this as standard (maybe it could in future as a courtesy, hint-hint ... ?), I'll tag you in manually @admin 👍
A lot of bug fixes and quality of life improvements in this release.
Most notably: fixed real time notification for Mastodon v4 (when the streaming API isn't on the same server), better attachment handling, fixed unmute/unblock functionalities and updated project page.
During the #twittermigration five months ago I joined Mastodon and now with the #calckey surge going on, I'd thought I’d check out what this side of the #Fediverse is all about.
I’m a data #journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. My work focuses on data visualization and storytelling, analysis and investigative journalism.
I’m also a recent dad and an avid #skier, #cyclist and general lover of anything to do with #mountains.
I used to tweet a lot, mainly about news in #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada, and especially about COVID-19 #data during the first two years of the pandemic. But I quit Twitter in December 2022 because it just became too much.
The one thing I do think the AT Protocol is better at than #ActivityPub is data portability. Being built-in at the protocol layer so that you don’t have to do the migration shit (which doesn’t bring your posts) is better. It just is. I think ActivityPub has more potential overall for the social web beyond just Twitter clones, but that part of #ARProtocol is better.
I think data portability is incredibly important and the fact that Mastodon hasn’t prioritized that, to me, is a failing. And I say Mastodon, not ActivityPub, b/c AP does have some options there. But Mastodon wasn’t designed that way, no matter what people want to pretend. It just wasn’t. My followers/following list is only part of my data. My content is equally important.
Anyone know if there is a tool to find your #Mastodon followers/following that’s on #BlueSky? Like how we had when we moved from that other site to here?
In #mastodon, sometimes, my notification count in the standard web interface does not go away. Right now, it's stuck at 40 (the max?), and whatever I do, it doesn't budge. What's going on here?
If I will #recommend a #fediverse software that needs support (developer and financial(?)), it is #Plume.
Plume is “a federated blogging application”. Basically, it is a blogging software that was made for the fediverse network.
Features I like:
It has comments. The comments also pulls from the fediverse.
Collaborative writing.
License chooser
The project is currently on hiatus, as per the status update on the official website: https://joinplu.me
> Currently, Plume developers have less time and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar purpose software: WriteFreely.
Just to clear things up, all projects need support. What I meant with my post above is, a project that has gone on hiatus, or the development slowed down considerably.
If there are developers looking for a #fediverse project, take #Plume into consideration.
@TerryHancock Basically, those three I mentioned. I haven't found a way to add comments into a WriteFreely, for example. Maybe it's because of the instance?
