So #Mastodon has announced they are in the process of removing #OStatus support their codebase. Hopefully this will light a fire under the collective arse of whoever is managing the #GNUsocial project, and the dozen or so #fediverse instances still running it, and get #ActivityPub support finished and merged.

@cwebber @shlee I'm aware this wasn't a general request, but it's something I'm also really interested in. We've tried to assemble some higher level introductions here:

Now that you've pointed it out, you're absolutely right that a lot of #fediverse evangelists, myself included, have been so busy trying to explain the tech to people we *presume* already grok decentralization at the social/ political/ economic level, we haven't written much about the bigger picture.

Good morning, #fediverse and #tzag to all.

It's Wednesday. It's pizza time. Good evening, #fediverse and #tzag to all. 🍺🍕

Has anyone done a visualization of how the different spheres of #language overlap on the #fediverse? I seem to remember one attempt but would love to see how that has been evolving.

Has anyone played with any language learning #ActivityPub stuff? Having a social platform for #LearningLanguages on the #fediverse would be incredible. There are already so many cultures represented here. Maybe it would be easiest to make something with a bot. A bot that asks questions and then receives the answers and rates them and keeps a leader board and a daily streak system.

Good morning, #fediverse and #tzag to all ☕

@nurinoas that last one I think is key, because adoption is strongly shaped by #NetworkEffect Imagine if users of every #Jabber app, every #Matrix app, every standalone chat app like #Wire or #Signal, could chat with Jami users! Even #fediverse apps for that matter!

Fediverse drama is bigger news then Stranger Things!

This Verge article about the #fediverse Gab invasion is super well written. Bravo Adi Robertson!

@jessmahler OK, so I guess the education work to be done, given the current state of the technology, is that anyone who *doesn't* want to livestream their AP #fediverse posts to the public web needs to:
a) use Mastodon (AFAIK no other apps allow followers-only posting)
b) set followers-only as the default posting style in their settings before making their first post
c) find cool people to follow, and get friends with fediverse accounts to follow them, as that will be their only way to network.

Happy Friday, #fediverse and #tzag to all.
