Good morning #Fediverse

How are we all doing on this Monday, right after the weekend?

Let's all comment below with what we all did over the weekend as well as what the week ahead has in store for each of us.

For me, it's just the usual work stuff but with no meetings which is nice.

Later it'll be video games and tacos for lunch!

I often read that the #Fediverse is mostly European.

Emacs.ch CDN traffic from the last hour has been delivered through 64 different data centers from around the world.

I'm proud we have such an international community! :emacs: :gnu:

Das gestrige #Wahlergebnis für Deutschland bei der #Europawahl ist erschreckend - ein massiver Gewinn für die Faschisten. Es wird dazu noch viele Analysen geben, aber hier ist eine Frage, die ich mir stelle:

Was ist unsere Social Media-Strategie um den #Faschismus effektiv zu bekämpfen?

Denn die Faschisten sind inzwischen sehr gut mit Social Media geworden, und holen die Jungwähler damit massenhaft ab, was uns allen große Sorgen machen sollte.

Und auch wenn es gut ist, daß hier auf #Mastodon und dem #Fediverse Faschisten systematisch ausgegrenzt werden (und ich begegne ihnen tatsächlich viel weniger als anderswo) - die "Daily Active Users" stagnieren hier schon seit längerem auf sehr niedrigen Niveau, und der Altersdurchschnitt der Benutzer ist auch ziemlich hoch. Nicht gerade toll, um die große Breite der Bevölkerung abzuholen - geschweige denn die Jungwähler.

Also sehe ich zwei Ansätze:

  1. Das Fediverse viel größer und populärer zu machen. Wie machen wir das? Keine Ahnung.

  2. Doch wieder auf die anderen Social Media-Plattformen - #Facebook, #TikTok, und sogar #Twitter / #X - gehen und dort stärker gegen den Faschisten eintreten. Aber die Algorithmen dieser Plattformen begünstigt die Hetze der Faschisten, und manche der Besitzer dieser Plattformen (insbesondere Elon Musk) sind selber Faschisten.

Ich bin hier zugegeben etwas ratlos. Was meint ihr?

Die Wahlgewinner in den einzelnen Landkreisen. In Ostdeutschland war fast überall die AfD die stärkste Partei, während sonst fast überall die CDU oder CSU vorne lag. Nur in ein paar einzelnen Landkreisen lagen die Grünen vorne, und in noch weniger die SPD.

Hi Ernest - hope everything is going well and that you are in good health.

Many of us on have been unable to log on or view content for about a week now. Have you identified the problem and made a plan to restore the site?

I also want to thank you for all your hard work. Personally, Kbin is my preferred platform. I can’t imagine how much work goes into keeping it running.

Wishing you good health!

Jetzt wo ihr alle auf eine #freie und offene Plattform für #SocialMedia gewechselt seid, das #Fediverse, könnt ihr z.B. bei den #Suchmaschine weiter machen.

I was told following a lot of people is a sign of inauthenticity

But I like the firehose of content

I'll wade into it and get swept away to parts unknown. Isn't that the point of social media, discovery?

And you can make a list for posters you don't want to miss

Someone says something funny... I feel like following them

Why not? Who cares? Are there magic rules here?

FUCK IT

I'M GOING TO FOLLOW EVERYONE!

(Unless you're a "both sides the same" troll/ idiot, then I'm blocking your ass)

It's smart to follow alot here on because unlike where they feed you all sorts of shit based on their (manipulated) , you aren't getting one damn toot until you fill your follow count. You have to follow a lot to get a rich experience.

That needs to be hammered for new accounts: follow, follow, follow. Then follow some more.

Between that and the esoteric mystery of picking a server, a lot of people just don't get it.

1/

Is the world a better place and the people in it better of by having more people on decentralized social networks (rather than centralized ones)?

(Regardless of whether that decentralized social network is the Fediverse, bluesky, nostr, farcaster, lens, etc.)

Using #Mastodon
and the #Fediverse is an act of rebellion in itself.

By being here,
you are contributing to grow an alternative system that is led by the people and for the people, not for profits.

By being here,
you are encouraging a solution to a deteriorating social climate that thrives on outrage and monetization of hate.

By being here,
you are participating to the development of a new system that can slowly build a better world.

Thank you for being here 💚

I've found an excellent podcast series about how online companies use your data. The second episode of the new season is all about how social media giants gather data to keep you engaged, enraged and staying in their apps looking at ads.

It's presented in a pleasantly approachable way. The fediverse is mentioned (Flipboard), along with a new platform I haven't heard of, Small Town and the idea of the Pluriverse.

This is what the Fediverse Report ( @fediversereport ) looks like from nostr.

Connected via a fediverse-to-nostr bridge.

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."

Your move, Patreon 🚨

I've been told that Mastodon and the Fediverse will never catch on (as in get to the point people know what it is / use it).

Tell me a reason you enjoy Mastodon / The Fediverse.

Happy Saturday #Fediverse

How are we all doing today and what do we all have planned for the day and for the rest of the weekend?

For me, it's just resting and relaxing. Toe is still a bit sore but healing nicely so that's a positive.

It'll be video games off and on most of the day today.

»YouTube: Sperren gegen Werbeblocker nun global«

Auch deswegen nutze ich YouTube nicht direkt, sondern Links über @invidious* oder nutze es mobil via @newpipe*, um Videos zu sehen und so weit frei vom Tracking zu sein. Leider sind noch nicht sehr viele anregende Videoproduktionen im Fediverse zB auf @peertube vertreten.

Federation has been achieved between Threads and Bluesky through the Fediverse and Bridgy Fed.

For now it looks to be a manually enabled test case by Bridgy Fed's developer.

Remember that you can follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy to enable federation of your account with Bluesky.

Towards Federated Key Transparency by @soatok

> "In late 2022, I blogged about the work needed to develop a specification for end-to-end encryption for the . I sketched out some of the key management components on GitHub, and then the public work abruptly stalled. A few of you have wondered what’s the deal with that. This post covers why this effort stalled, what I’m proposing we do next."

Wow! The Who to follow suggestions in the feed appear to be personalized 👀

When I click "see all" it takes me to a list of profiles. Above each profile it tells me why each one is being suggested.

The reasons: "Popular among people you follow", "Popular on mstdn.social", and "Similar to profiles you recently followed"

Interesting. 🤔
