@mojala @neo There's been endless discussions about that amongst developers. It's not that simple. We used to have the automatic recognition in v3 or something, but they removed it because it was not reliable.

The snow trickles down to earth so softly
Each individual flake
so inconspicuous when each on its own

But when gathered together
on the earth
A picture emerges that changes everything

Covers everything
in white innocence
for a brief moment

Good morning to you all ❄️🌞 ☕️

Have a great day and a lovely weekend

... to those moving from Mastodon to BlueShit - you crazy naive quacks! Wasn't getting burned on X enough?

#Fediverse #x #bluesky #mastodon


If you had to choose only one to use exclusively which one would you pick ?

Mastodon or Bluesky ?

Give specific reasons to back up your claim.

Who are the Montagues and who are the Capulets?

Mastodon: Bluesky is Bad, actually
Bluesky: Mastodon is Bad, actually

It’s like a shit version of West Side Story. how long before a Mastodon user and a Bluesky user fall in love while communicating exclusively over the fedi bridge



I'm going to have to apologize a bit for the BlueSky slander I've been spreading. I did not realize it's actually open source and federated too. It just has its own protocol instead of ActivityPub.

I'm sticking with Mastodon, but I'm a little less upset now about BlueSky's recent prominence

#blueSky #mastodon #socialMedia



Updated #BlueSky my handle!

Aww yiss. No worries, though. #Mastodon is my primary home. But it's good to diversify. Let's not put our eggs in one basket ever again. :P

(I'm not putting much effort into #Threads though. Already has that corporate stink about it. 🤢)


After using #Mastodon for a little bit now, I decided to actually press the mysterious "Bookmark" button to see what it did. I was nervous, hovering the pointer over it for a moment, feeling my heart beating faster, and then.. "click". I did it! ... Suddenly... a portal opened up in front of me. These weird alien chicken like creatures came out of it, which then jumped out of the window, and the portal disappeared. Everything was silent again. I still don't know what that button is actually for.


What, if so, makes #Mastodon superior to #Bluesky? I’m truly interested.


I'm loyal to #mastodon 💪🏾. I joined dis app to be free of allat shit . Fk #bluesky 👎🏾.
This bitch be bussing 💯 .
Y'all don't go leaving now 😒
We got fire this bitch up to be the #1 social app.
I looking for mo folks to fw . Follow me to connect. If you just joined. I wanna make mastodon fire 🔥
Love Jaden ❤️

Is there any way, in Mastodon, to automatically suspend an account if they post a specific link?

Done a little playlist of PeerTube videos that provide more info about how to use Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:

Recently came across @vmstan's bot @mergebot, which is great if you want to stay on top of Mastodon's development.

Pairs well with @mastodon_mobile_apps, which keeps track of latest updates to Mastodon's official mobile apps.

I also made @mastodonroadmap, which is a bit less useful these days as the Mastodon roadmap hasn't been getting updated much lately, and the no longer active @mastodonmilestoneprogress, as the team has moved away from using GitHub milestones.

Streamiverse is written in Kitten and you can follow the “htmx, the htmx WebSocket extension, and socket routes” tutorial to create a Kitten app that consumes the API:

kitten.small-web.org/tutorials…

To get started with Kitten, see:

kitten.small-web.org

(Could be a fun little thing to play with this weekend.)

:kitten:💕

#Kitten #SmallWeb #htmx #WebSocket #streaming #fediverse #Mastodon #API #SmallTech #web #dev


Introducing Streamiverse… a simple Mastodon-compatible streaming API of curated posts from the fediverse.

streamiverse.small-web.org

Consume the public API curated/hosted by Small Technology Foundation (for non-commercial and educational use) or host your own.

Mastodon had a public streaming API but it was locked down this year. This gives you back that useful feature (for demos, teaching, etc.) plus you know exactly what you’re getting.

I just muted politics, AI, and Bluesky to see what would happen and my entire #Mastodon feed disappeared


On Mastodon, a newly introduced feature allows you to link your blog articles to your Fediverse account. I recently added this feature to my Hugo Blog and wrote down the necessary steps: kotthoff.dev/posts/2024/mastod…

This blog post by @rolle about how he found his way into the #Fediverse and created IMO the best #Mastodon #theme #BirdUI is well worth a read!

rolle.design/the-day-i-decided…



One of the worst misfeatures of #Mastodon from a safety angle: If you get an abusive reply to your post, you can't remove it even by blocking the person. Even after blocking, your server still shows the abusive reply to everyone else.

There has been a patch ready to fix this for 2 years, 6 months, and 1 day. @Gargron has not approved it, and has provided *zero* explanation for why he will not allow it to be merged.

I've tried Meta's Threads and recently Bluesky, but I haven't found a true home. I suspect these platforms use algorithms to suppress smaller voices, prioritizing those with large followings. The more I learn about centralized social media, the more drawn I am to the decentralized Fediverse.
#Fediverse #Mastodon @stux #FediTips :blobfoxthinkowo:



Folks that understand all about federation, and this world of federated social media some of us are experiencing for the first time, do you have good resources that 1) explain/outline differences between #mastodon and #bluesky?
2) contains the history of development of these two? Things like, when and why they were created, etc? Thanks in advance! (And thanks for potential boosts that could help this reach the right people)


Likewise, if we do want #bluesky #starterpack - style solutions, what does that mean to #mastodon from a stability perspective?

I noticed @jwz recently, talking about serious performance-related slowdown issues, related to having an account that is VERY popular. So, what does that mean if we create solutions which greatly encourage account popularity, without actually addressing server issues first?

In short, the issue of starter packs isn't just a simple good / bad question.


A few months back, I simplified my social media presence from Facebook, Nextdoor, Mastodon, and Reddit to just the last two. I briefly brought back Nextdoor to try and sell a furniture item locally, and then deleted it straightaway.

I'm seriously thinking of dropping Reddit. The timeline stresses me out quite a bit, since I can't seem to find filtering capabilities ala Mastodon. Also it is not nearly a friendly place overall like here.

There are a few "communities" (subreddits) that I'd miss, but I think what we have here may be quite satisfactory.

To turn off the #Mastodon notification sound:

1) Add "/notifications" to your #Fediverse URL & press enter: https://.../notifications

2) Disable "Play sound" ⚪

Friendly reminder, if a cable is cut somewhere in the world, #mastodon will not go down.

Why? Because it is truly decentralized.

The #bluesky marketing doesn't hold up when compared to the facts.

Is there a view of followed accounts on #mastodon which shows everyone's last post? Ideally, last non-boost post. Else I may have to add more people to my "noisy" list 🙁

It would be great to be able to put followed hashtags in lists or groups. Some way to sort them by subject instead of just one big list. I am appreciative of that big list, we finally got it, but to be able to have a feed of several tags at once in a topical list instead of the long list or having to keep clicking and clicking clicking. #MastoDev #Mastodon


"Decentralised social media is more than just a technical shift; it's a step toward restoring autonomy and trust in our digital lives, empowering individuals and communities to connect without compromising their values or privacy."

A study by the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford finds that decentralised social media leads to citizen empowerment.
