Some good stuff in this thread about why all #fediverse users should submit #issues to #github whether #bug #reports or #Feature #requests ♻️ @alex @eris @GNU Too fair enough. if you do take issue tickets seriously, and this is a workflow that helps you deliver, and this is credible, i can submit tickets. berserker.town/@thor/110045819… -

There are a number of weird right wing platforms (I'd guess most are pay-for-use) and at least one weird left wing platform that are also receiving relatively large numbers of Twitter refugees. It isn't just the #Fediverse. -

Am 4.3.2023 werde ich ab 18 Uhr einen Vortrag über das #Fediverse im Cafe Wostok in der Weitlingstraße 97 (#Berlin Lichtenberg) halten. Das Fediverse - Eine Einführung in die emanzipativen sozialen Netzwerke fern ab von Big Tech.
In diesem Vortrag wird das Fediverse als Gegenentwurf zu den von Big-Tech dominierten Social Media Diensten vorgestellt. Welche Möglichkeiten bietet das dezentrale, emanzipativ selbstorganisierte Netzwerk als Alternative zum vom Überwachungskapitalismus getriebenen Diensten wie Twitter, Facebook und Instagram? Nach einem Einführungsvortrag ins Fediverse soll es einen Hands-On Teil geben um den Anwesenden die Möglichkeit zu geben vor Ort die ersten Schritte ins Fediverse zu unternehmen.

Today is a last day to reach out to some people still only on Twitter and tell them about the #Fediverse as for today, tools like the fedifinder.glitch.me/ still exist. -

What is the best platform on the #Fediverse and why is it #Friendica? -

As with any censorship resistant network, both #Nostr and the #Fediverse are going to have to concentrate some energy around anti-spam and on improving user-level curation tools.
There are other reasons, of course, but weak curation tools lead to #blockwars such as #fediblock. -

RP @simsa04: My 9 yo nephew got a Raspberry Pi for Christmas and I'm tasked by my sis – thank you for that, moron! – to give him deeper insight into the machine and what can be done with it.
I don't know why he needed one nor why his parents chose that as a gift as my nephew already writes his little Scratch programs on his laptop, but here we are. So, dear #fediverse people, please point me to guides that explain what the machine does, what kids can do with it taht makes some fun and how to do that. And also how to present the output of the thing on the display of my newphe's laptop.
Thank you in advance. !RasPi -

"Mastodon brought a protocol to a product fight"
> Yes, yes, the network is under immense strain as people flee the Elon strain infecting Twitter. But come on, there are folks who really believe this is going to replace, or even stand alongside Twitter, as a massively scaled social network? I call bullshit. While it’s impressive that millions of users have apparently given Mastodon a try, the product is far too slapdash and clunky to keep folks engaged. A lump of coal.
No, it isn't meant to be a #Twitter replacement. Keep your Twitter account until you no longer want it--or the company closes and the site shuts down--you can use Mastodon alongside Twitter.
And the #Fediverse networks are much more than just #Mastodon. Don't think you have experienced the network and all it has to offer if all you've done is briefly tried to use Mastodon, because you haven't experienced it.
> I’ve somehow avoided signing up for the service up until now. Largely because signing up was and is so comically obtuse — pick your server everyone, hope you choose wisely!
Have you not used e-mail? It works the same way. You pick a server, such as Gmail or Outlook dot com, and sign up. Please tell me you realize that the people you communicate with are not all on the same e-mail service that you use.
> But, but, it’s not a product, it’s a protocol. Yeah, that’s a nice thing to say. And to believe in. But I truly believe the ship has sadly sailed for such idealism in this space. Jack Dorsey can talk about how this should have been what Twitter was from the get go until he’s bluesky in the face. It’s just not going to happen. And he’s more to blame for that than most everyone else. As is he for the Elon element of this current equation. But that’s a different story.
Okay, so how about this story: Twitter has only been profitable two or three years of its entire history. Since it started, it has existed by burning through investors' funds. Eventually, with or without Elon Musk's ownership, that runs out. Without such funding, their corporate-centralized ( #corpocentric ) model cannot exist very long. And same for their centralized competitors, such as Post.news, Gab, Parler, and so on. What is left is either #federated or #peer-to-peer approaches, where no single entity is responsible for funding and managing the entire network. So whether it is the #Fediverse ( with #ActivityPub and #OStatus and their successors ) & the Federation ( with #Diaspora ) or #Bluesky, or #Twister, or #NOSTR, the eventual future of #socnets is #decentralized, if not entirely peer-to-peer unless a national government takes over Facebook and Twitter in order to provide effectively unlimited resources. It is the protocol that makes it possible for thousands or millions of instances to displace and replace one big centralized instance.

^^ Afterthought:
Had Eugen Rochko published his #mastodon software as proprietary software, he probably wouldn't have gained that large market share and dominance in the #fediverse. Because the people from the open-bla-bla crowd would have repudiated this approach. (Other conditions may have been concentration on ActivityPub and abandonment of support for OStatus.)
From this it seems clear that the open / free license of #mastodon was a precondition for its rapid scaling *and* the blockwars and defederations thenceforward. So much for the benefits of FLOSS and the like. -

Is anyone aware of a #Mastodon or other #Fediverse instance accessible via #TorHiddenService (.onion) #onion @The Tor Project -

Had Eugen Rochko published his #mastodon software as proprietary software and licensed it to anybody who wants to freely set up an instance provided he adheres to the licensing condition [ _____ ] (fill in the blank: no Islamophobia, ableism, hate speech, child abuse, doxing...), the #fediverse would have been spared a lot of defederation, blockwars, and mutual instance blocking. -

One thing about this surge of people migrating from #Twitter to the #Fediverse is that people who gave up on #federated #socnets years ago and solely used #corpocentric platforms are now coming back.
Thus, I get announcements about people I knew from #Tent (thanks to fellow former Tentler @bthall) along with news about people from #Identi.ca and other #StatusNet and #Pump.io instances returning. -

test of quote share to see if notification occurs to OP ♲ @fuat2mb@theres.life: i highly recommend checking out a few other services on the #fediverse to see if there is anything you like better, including #Friendica, #plemora, #soapbox, #GNUsocial etc. #mastadon is only part of the 'verse, and all of the above can still interact with your friends on Mastodon

I keep seeing posts like this all over the Fediverse. Any recommendations for #Friendica evangelism beyond just commenting something like "#Friendica already supports this, same #fediverse more features" or "join friendica we have cookies (and quote toots)" everytime i see it? ♲ @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social: Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻
