One of the more limiting things about Signal is you have to give out your mobile number to everyone. Even if it is a burner, I still don't want to advertise to the world that it's mine.

Was happy to read today that Signal is now beta testing a new username feature.

Also very creative is the "foss" text as a kinda trademark symbol, except

Thanks. Yes, that was a pretty inventive thing with the . Should be bolder.

We forgot we did this design until recently when we were scrolling through files in our uploaded folder. Its artistic but lacked boldness at a small size and we thought people would struggle to draw it.

The FOSSMARK idea we should have remembered to include on the later design (pictured). As we discussed with you we must drop the 3-triangle-hero, so will add FOSSMARK then :)

Latest "infinity triangle" (aka v3 simplified) version to replace the 3-triangle (complex) version. This one has the "organic" colouration (for muted colour palette sites) as opposed to the "party" colouration seen in the other three images, designed to compliment high-impact, high-contrast website designs.

We have a history of collab'ing with ideas here since Jan 2021, including w @smallcircles, DrQ FreedCreative @zleap. We recommend simple. 'Social Reimagined' was too abstracted.

We'd be tempted to say, An Ethical Decentralised Social Network, but M'don defaults to an algorithmic timeline now, Maybe just say "A not-so-centralised social network".

BTW Fedi has a major scaling issue. See tag, GlutPlug, for a fix.

@zleap kindly serves a copy of a fediverse flyer we made in Feb 2021. Its only dated because it doesn't push but Pleroma, which no longer works in Tor. If our memory is correct slows Tor to a crawl. The flyer is based around the older icon. Is also probably too complex understand in some parts.

It wasn't quite fit for yesterday's audience so, I wouldn't worry about it, personally. If we were better equipped we'd first work on the GlutPlug scaling problem to make content delivery more sustainable, before pumping fediverse with more steamy bathwater (people), who will just leak out as fediverse scales.

To reiterate:

It is, without a doubt, true that the is unsafe for a lot of marginalized groups in a variety of ways.

It is unsafe even for groups that are overrepresented here compared to society at large, such as for queers.

It is also true that the fediverse needs a multipronged, multi_layered_ approach to these issues

> Unsafe

The most unsafe part about is master-don dominates with its .

M'don is not much decentralised as many assume (see ). We just had a little rant about it.

We cannot protect fedizens, without protecting instances themselves. Adoption of I2P and/or at least proposals like to help decentralise will protect instances, but such discussions are nowhere.

Case in point, even slow-moving has support now.

Big corporations started doing focusGroups questionaires in the early 70s and entered them into computers. Back then they would mail them out to people. See Ep3 of .

Good news, thanks for sharing. 💪

We notice that the Mastodon icon is being used on your site, yes? Have you considered a Fediverse icon instead? Using a M'don icon misrepresents wider fediverse as M'don (now with previously rejected ). It misleads and invariably marginalises worthy instances that aren't M'don.

The following was developed in collaboration with great fedizens who felt a more sensible icon for fediverse was needed (https://campaign.openworlds.info/@dsfgs/111209724633160261)

We don't know if our proposal is of interest here. Its for Fediverse so as fediverse scales instances don't have to shutdown due to overwhelming demands for content.

When a person boosts likes or replies to content they've downloaded they will also host it themselves for as long as it is in demand, over one of the three addresses provisioned for such. Server tells subsequent viewers to fetch content from these .

There's a lot of focus on to migration, but the overall story is quite a bit bigger I think.

The offers huge opportunity for independent journalism in a world where so much of media are consolidated and in the hands of shady mogul billionaires. In other words Fediverse is both a threat to existing business models, as well as market opportunity.

Can anyone find that person who was doing the banners for the legacy social?

We just realised, that they could overlay any image over the above using a multiply blend in the layering. Possibly could be combined with a washed out colourise effect on any photo too, they might be able to offer customised banners to people still on legacy social sites. :P

This instance is in a wind down phase and it seems we only have 2 days of past info available. :(

dsfgs,

No matter @realcaseyrollins @smallcircles @zleap . Found him.

Hi @BjornW see above, if still interested in the idea of banners, you could make bespoke banners as pictured. In GIMP we overlayed a jungle banner image with the above, duplicated as two layers, one layer is 'Multiply'-blended (90% opacity), the other is 'Screen'-blended (35% opacity).
