I'm disappointed that there aren't more people interested in the #fediverse simply because of what it is, as opposed to what "experience" it currently offers.

I dunno, I just find it inherently interesting that all of this is run by regular people free from the malignant influence of Big Tech. 🤷‍♂️

I understand that people have their needs and communities, but it's the blank stares at the prospect of digital freedom that I don't understand.

The only ‘verification’ #Mastodon has is your email when you signup

That’s it, after that we would never ever ask you to verify ever again

Sooo if you see a DM or post that says otherwise it’s a scam, always!

Again, we do not verify anything nor would we ask for this!

What are your favorite fediverse accounts of organizations, institutions, and projects who interact with people, not just broadcast?

By interacting I mean replying to comments and questions, starring posts, or boosting interesting posts from other accounts.

#fediverse #mastodon #AskFedi

I joined #Fediverse after 2025 inauguration. So far I see the future is bright here at Fediverse

The clean energy kind of bright

Never going to be as bright as tech-bro-business kind of bright like #Facebook, #Instagram, #Twitter (never going to call anything else), or #Bluesky, but that is okay with me

I choose clean and friendly energy kind of bright over fossil fuel polluted kind of bright.

And that is how I explain to people why I only have #Mastodon and #Pixelfed accounts when they asked

For now, have a good night!

Today is my Fediversary! ✨

I cannot tell you enough how much the Fediverse and Mastodon changed my life positively.

From the amazing community,
to a new connected social life free from big tech's authoritarianism, I will forever be grateful for what I found here 💚

If you want to give me a gift for my Fediversary, please send a donation to my incredible instance Infosec Exchange, generously administrated by @jerry

🎁 liberapay.com/Infosec.exchange…

On each of our Fediversary,
let's take a moment to appreciate all the people who kindly give their time to manage an instance for free, to do the hard work of moderation to protect us all, to contribute with code, documentation, art, and more. Without them, you and I wouldn't be here.

Thank you everyone for being part of this community

Long live the Fediverse!

If you click on a Mastodon profile and it seems blank, it may not be blank!

If no one from your server follows an account, it may look blank even if it's active. Once one person from your server follows the account, its posts will start gradually appearing on your server too. Lots more info about how to deal with this at:

➡️ fedi.tips/why-does-someones-ac…

You can prevent your profile looking blank by pinning posts, which federate much more effectively:

This site, Mastodon.cloud, is not secure. It has been abandoned and is currently running outdated software with a known security vulnerability. Please migrate to an alternative site.

Mastodon.cloud is also being de-federated, meaning it is being disconnected from the rest of the Fediverse. In the future, other Mastodon and Misskey sites will no longer communicate with Mastodon.cloud.

Hey Bluesky users... 🙋‍♂️

Good day to try Mastodon. We won't bite.

Join a server. We call them instances. Here are few great choices:

mstdn.social: mstdn.social/auth/sign_up A really great choice! EU based and run by @stux. Cats!

Vivaldi: social.vivaldi.net/about Yes, Vivaldi the browser, but you don't need the browser.

infosec.exchange: infosec.exchange/auth/sign_up Techies! Run by @jerry

Or just go to joinmastodon.org and pick one. It is hard to go wrong.

Infosec Exchange

Sign up on Mastodon today! With an account, you will be able to follow people, post updates and exchange messages with users from any Mastodon server and more!

^{Mastodon hosted on infosec.exchange}

We prefer #Mastodon for several reasons, the main one being its ability to easily form independent, community-driven interoperable instances. Nevertheless, we have a #Bluesky account so as not to exclude people who prefer this alternative.

Recently we migrated our original account from the main BlueSky PDS to the EuroSky PDS (@eurosky.social). All day, it was impossible to access BlueSky using the official app. Can anyone explain why? This is problematic in terms of #decentralization.
