@vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view.
Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned.
Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocial and #Diaspora, but was unsuccessful. I think they all joined #Facebook, where their posts are hidden by the algorithms.
Caution: this episode is over three hours long, so I have not listened (and will likely only listen to a fraction of it).
I wish @tio had also brought someone from #GNU_Social and someone from #Pleroma (and maybe @mike@loadaverage.org @mike@z.macgirvin.com to represent #Hubzilla and #Zap (and #Mistpark, #Redmatrix), and @dansup developer and project founder / leader of #PixelFed, and perhaps someone from #PeerTube, #Misskey, and so on). The other thing I wish had been done is to slice this far-too-long episode into four pieces, each an hour or less in length.
Sorry, Michael, I don't know whether you're officially the project leader, so I left that unsaid.
♲ @AlexVoss@fosstodon.org: Student of mine is conducting a survey on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. Your input would be much appreciated. Please boost.
Efforts to mount a rescue of #GSNO appear to have failed. If you’re a user of #gnusocial.no, you have about two weeks to grab your data and find a new #Fediverse home. You can see a list of some public !gnusocial instances at https://gnusocial.network/try/
I am conducting an anonymous survey for my MSc dissertation on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. If you're interested, please click the link below. Your input would be much appreciated!
@mangeurdenuage Yeah, I agree. I looked at the Qvitter interface for #GNUsocial and decided that I did not want a #JavaScrippled instance. I wish the #Pleroma folks would make a minimal JS interface.
I haven't seen anything else for iOS that supports GS, but it might be worth going to the big blue discount store (aka #Walmart ) and buying their $80 #Android device, so you can use #AndStatus instead. AndStatus is not known for being fast, but it can run circles around Shoyu, even running backwards, with its eyes closed and its ankles bound.
Como ex admin de mamalibre.com.ar manteniendo servicios/redes libres federadas. Unos consejos que adquiri en esa experiencia.
1) es de suma importancia subir videos 3gp por default de celulares minimo 30 segundos
2) audios deben tambien poder subir con el formato por defecto de la grabadora de sonido de android.
podes manejar la sibrecarga del server con cron. Cada 3 meses con una politica de borrado automaticamnete que se borren. Con eso evitarias sobrecarga en la red y servidor. Policita de cache es fundamental...esos dos archivos a la primera reproduccion deben quedar cacheado en el navegador web. Asi la segunda reproducción no saturaria el server.
Esto es fundamental para redes sociales libres y federadas.
ejemplo de situación: " pasa algo en la callé y quieres grabarlo para luego subirlo como testimonio" no podras si los admines no admiten esos 2 formatos.
@licho #Mastodon 3.x and #Pleroma 2x no longer speak the #OStatus federation protocol. !GNUsocial 2.0 will add the #ActivityPub federation protocol, so ask your admin to be ready to upgrade soon.
Huzzah! This will be my GNU Social account, which I will use to follow @lnxw48a1 and explore this side of the #Fediverse (since #Pleroma and #Mastodon are weirdly disconnected from #GNUSocial). I've been at @bthall@bikeshed.party (#Pleroma) for a while, but I look forward to using this account, too.
@strypey @clacke #ActivityPub support is already in the #GNU_Social (2.0.0-dev) codebase that many instances currently use, it just isn't working so well (from what I can tell, Mastodon signatures don't verify). They're working on fixing that
@clacke#Pleroma has held out a lot longer than #Mastodon. Pleroma instances admins who want to keep #OStatus support a bit longer can always stay with 1.x for the time being, and maybe backport stuff from the 2.x branch.
@xj9 #GNU_Social's #ActivityPub support is not quite ready for use in non-testing instances. Currently, there's a problem with verifying Mastodon's signatures. ( Neither @lain@lain.com nor @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com can see this response because their instances no longer speak #OStatus. )
