It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
@BeAware It’s so much better on Mastodon. People on X/Twitter/Muskapp would rarely hold conversations, just chime in with “well actually” or a whirlwind of trolling or insults.
Here, everyone seems genuine. Everyone is approachable. I’ve only blocked one person so far, and even then, I found out that almost everyone does 😅
@BeAware I guess I’m lucky that I don’t have a lot of followers 😂. I bet if there were more, I’d have a larger blocklist. But I’ve been lucky here… only really witnessed a lot of really awesome people. This is definitely much better than any other platform I’ve used.
The Sublinks team has written up a little survey, which we feel is both thorough and inclusive. It covers a wide range of topics, such as user privacy, and community engagement, along with trying to gauge things that are difficult when moderating.
Et si on rédigeait un article de presse sur le fediverse et qu'on le publiait un peu partout dans la presse ? Pour le moment on a pas une image super positive car 3000 serveurs c'est compliqué, que l'ui est austère...ça me gave.
Le tout en passant sous silence ce qu'on reproche aux réseaux sociaux capitalistes : cambridge analytica, transphobie, déni du rechauffement climatique...Et ça fait pas bouger plus que ça :bugcat_what:
Pourquoi ne pas faire une tribune pour inviter le gouvernement à suivre l'exemple de la commission européenne et des institutions allemandes qui sont sur mastodon ? :)
Pourquoi ne pas imaginer un immense dossier de presse sur les réseaux sociaux : ferme à clic, les modo de facebook, le contenu violent, le genocide des meymar puis on aborde le fédiverse avec l'interview des modos, des admins, des hebergeurs...et on présente quelques instances françaises, francophones.
Ça me brancherait bien comme aventure et qu'elle soit portée collectivement. Pas facile mais mon reve serait d'aller à la gare et de lire plusieurs grands titres sur le fédiverse. Et de donner envie à d'autres personnes de nous rejoindre. :)
Will be my 1-year anniversary on Mastodon and the fediverse in June. Been that long since I left Reddit.
But I still feel very much like a noob. For example, I have a hard time grasping why I can’t sign into my Mastodon profile (https://lemmy.world/u/Hyphlosion@donphan.social ) on lemmy. There’s obviously a profile of my posts, so why can’t I sign into it on lemmy and use it?
@Hyphlosion federated identity still isn't really a thing yet, but following works between most systems. Mastodon will hopefully support groups eventually and that will make subscribing to lemmy communities here easier, and hopefully the reverse will happen too. To get the best experience, and account in each platform is needed for now. Federated identity would be the holy grail of distributed social for sure, though I think an everything client that wraps all your accounts would be cool too.
Dear @potus, I am excited to see you joining the fediverse, but I question your decision to join Threads.
Please consider committing to #OpenGovernment by creating @potus this will allow you to reach all #Threads users as well as the millions on #Mastodon#Misskey#Friendica#Pixelfed#Lemmy and more with just one account and without favoring a commercial endeavour that still has the power to censor you.
@icg937 follow fewer US users and hashtags. Follow more non-US users and hashtags. If you find a non-US user boosting a lot of US stuff, consider turning off boosts for that user.
Um grupo de extrema direita que ficou mordido com o posicionamento que tomamos em relação a ditadura militar e a liberdade de acesso ao lazer e conhecimento iniciou hoje ataques de DDoS contra o nosso servidor.
Estou indo atrás de reforçar nossa infraestrutura e não vou abandonar esse projeto de descentralização e democratização da informação.
Thinking back on my pre-#Fediverse experience, when "social media" took off, my engagement was little different to the shitlords who enjoy their status on those media. Economics says you get what you incentivise for.
But since starting this account, and others on other Fediverse sites (#BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #Pixelfed, etc), I've really got into the groove of being positive, ignoring or downplaying the negative.
It's how I want the Internet to be. Be (as in YOU) the change you want to see.
If you're interested in following along in what is happening in the /c/cybersecurity community on infosec.pub (#Lemmy) than you can follow @cybersecurity!
I was going to mess around with Lemmy but I enabled 2FA yesterday, and somehow failed to update 1Password with the 2FA. So, I guess I've lost that account. 🤷
There were no recovery codes offered when I enabled 2FA. Sigh.
