I disagree with those who say “Let’s focus on spreading awareness for Mastodon—not the Fediverse” for three reasons:

  1. Some people hate Mastodon. If they don’t like Mastodon, they should know about options to their liking.

  2. Some people are looking for alternatives to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram—and Mastodon is not the answer for them.

  3. What about developers looking to build novel and new social media? They should know what ActivityPub does.

kidehen,

“Let’s focus on spreading awareness for Mastodon—not the Fediverse” is the headline of a tragic movie that many of us have seen before.

@Mastodon is a popular platform, that offers a nice alternative via its support for (re server-server protocol) and .

kidehen,

@atomicpoet @ivory Huh? That's news. Basically, the tragic aspect of same old movie about silos and their adverse effects on an are already taking shape -- unfortunately.

What's needed is an constructed from loose-coupling enabled by open standards. Anything less is just a predictable tragic movie reboot.

Just in the last 24-48 hours, I have tried my best to bring up instances of GoToSocial, MissKey, CalcKey and Pleroma just to see what would work for a single user Fediverse instance. Guess who is winning right now?

I got a lot of heat for this two months ago, but I don't remember someone convincing me, that I am wrong. On the contrary – I think, the basic premise still holds. So I'm curious what the rest of and the thinks, because it's applicable to both:

What I was arguing for was, that Mastodon (all the Fediverse, really) needs to cost something for users, to work in the long term.

Let me explain..

Lot's of media people whining about Twitter removing the "blue check mark" from government accounts. It's hilarious because actually it's not Musk who's to blame. It's the governments that ended up depending on "free" accounts provided by private companies. Governments should operate their own internet infrastructures.

So now it's about time to stop whining and create a presence in the , for now and for ever.

Note: The fediverse will work even on Mars 😀

Celebrities and big brands may never flock to Mastodon. It's just the nature of the platform to target a small community rather than a large audience, and for those hoping to do that, they'll pick centralized systems every time. But for me, that's just fine. I like it here. Maybe some other friends would like it here too, that's what @spreadmastodon is about. Not having your social media owned by a corporation is a great feeling. Let's make it more common.

Twitter Blue Ticks' 🔵 neverending drama..

“Twitter’s approach may help its business, but won’t help people identify who or what is worth listening to and the danger is that it will ultimately degrade trust that is critical for long-term sustainability”

“This would be far more reliable than Twitter’s current pay-for-a-checkmark system. Because the CBC’s Mastodon server would be connected to the larger fediverse, the CBC would both enjoy global reach and local autonomy. And no billionaire could ever take that away.”

Zapraszam do lektury nowego wpisu na moim blogasku "m0bi o Fedi":

O metodzie Kopiego Pasta
Czyli dlaczego bez “Wyszukaj lub wklej adres” na Mastodonie się nie da.

https://zb3.org/m0bi13/o-metodzie-kopiego-pasta

P.S. Artykuł o migracji niebawem ;)

ernest,

To jest bardzo istotne, gdy już wyrobi się nawyk używania wyszukiwarki w fedi, dalej jest z górki ;-)

W Kbin jest opcja skopiowania url komentarza / posta który wyświetli się na danej instancji oraz który można wklepać w wyszukiwarkę na dowolnej platformie.

No i powstaje też społeczność która ma na celu pomoc twórcom aplikacji fediwersowych. Planowane są opisy integracji, snippety kodu, use-cases.

@m0bi13 polecam

Jetzt, wo infolge abhanden gekommener Blauhaken (und #Reichweite) wahrscheinlich noch mal eine größere Welle von Usern samt Gefolge aus dem Vogelkäfig zu #Mastodon abwandert, ist für mich vielleicht ein guter Zeitpunkt, mal wieder mit Klarnamen aufzutreten und zugleich zu unterstreichen, dass das #Fediverse nicht nur aus Mastodon besteht, sondern noch andere schöne Töchter hat. A mi, me gusta #Misskey. Die #Instanz von https://misskey.de/ ist zudem in guten Händen (betrieben vom gleichen Admin, der auch die #Friendica-Instanz https://libranet.de/ betreibt, die schon seit Jahren existiert.

Meinen bisherigen Account bei Mastodon werde ich bis auf weiteres und vielleicht auch längerfristig noch weiter betreuen. Allerdings werde ich das meiste, was ich dort poste, zunächst von meinem neuen Misskey-Account aus posten und dann dort einfach boosten. Auf diese Weise bekommt ihr es, wenn ihr mir dort folgt, weiterhin mit. Trotzdem freue ich mich natürlich über alle, die mir (auch) oder alternativ unter diesem neuen Account folgen.

Im Laufe des Wochenendes werde ich wohl auch allen folgen, denen ich mit meinem Mastodon-Account folge. Das Prozedere ist leider etwas umständlich, weil man von Mastodon nicht einfach so zu Misskey umziehen kann wie innerhalb von Mastodon. Da gibt es noch Verbesserungsbedarf. Ansonsten aber gilt: #FediPower und #FediverseIsFuture!

Good morning and happy Friday to all you wonderful people of the .

Time to kick off our day with the to see what y’all have planned for today and the weekend ahead. Anything exciting?

For me, today will be just a usual day. Tomorrow I will be pretty busy most of the day. Have an assembly to go to. Sunday will be just a chill day to cap the weekend off.

Jeden Tag versuchen mir Expert:innen zu erklaeren, dass der "Hype" vorbei ist und sich die Plattform zu einer Geisterstadt entwickelt hat.

Schoen, dass in diese nun auch u.a. das @ZDF & @wikipedia eingezogen sind.

So ganz allein haette ich hier wirklich Angst bekommen. Danke 🙏

P.S. Und (nicht nur)fuer die, die auch sind.. meine Anleitung 👉 https://www.metacheles.de/p/mastodon-anleitung-und-einstieg#details isf frisch ueberarbeitet & erleichtert den Einstieg.

I recognize lots of folks here don't trust Bluesky, but I actually find a lot of what they're doing really, really interesting and worth watching, including their experiment with "composable moderation." https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/20/bluesky-plans-decentralized-composable-moderation/

@mmasnick I’m a big fan of what’s happening at

It’s effectively the web3 alternative to . It’s a good North Star for the fediverse to aspirationally build towards.

But I’m only interested in BlueSky insofar as it interoperates with the existing .

And I think they recognize that the the fediverse movement & community would turn on them if they cannibalize the existing network instead of adding to it as a friendly & compatible node.

This is hilarious. A engineer invented to make command line scripting easier with , because at a certain point scripts get too complicated and you need a Real Language.

https://github.com/google/zx/

This is exactly ’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended scripts to a vastly different syntax.
