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
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
Do you use the WordPress.com Reader? I am definitely not objective on this, but I think it’s a pretty nice (and free!) way to consume information, whether it comes from RSS feeds or newsletters on WordPress sites.
If you needed a little push to give the tool a try, watch this space! Over the next few weeks, @pfefferle and I will be working on a small Hackathon to bring the open social web into the WordPress.com reader (or the other way around), so you’ll have more reasons to like the Reader!
If some #iOS users are interested in joining a #Fediverse server that runs on your device, you can join the #HolosSocial project through #AltStore or drop an email at hello@fedilab.app to join TestFlight beta testers.
#Holos 1.5.1 is available.
UX improvements throughout the app, including VoiceOver and TalkBack labels. Quick access to interests from the Discover tab. Translation uses the app language and preserves mentions, hashtags and links.
A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.
We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_af…
No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.
There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses
hi peeps ❤ Running a small fundraiser to keep altbot and fuzzies.wtf alive and healthy!
my server storage hit 100% full and took down basically everything. i got it fixed, but it's clear i need more drives before it happens again.
altbot is free, open source, and runs 24/7 generating alt text for anyone on the fediverse who needs it. it's real accessibility infrastructure and i want to keep free.
goal is $500 for a set of used (and tested for good health) enterprise drives off ebay. every little bit helps get there!

the PM of #Spain, Pedro Sánchez will be asking tomorrow the @EUCommission to take up the initiative
the ECI is often described as just #clicktivism. bootlickers love it as easy to discount and manipulate on centralized, billionaire-owned, corporate social platforms.

but the #fediverse & especially #Mastodon are a monkey wrench on that
El líder del Ejecutivo español pedirá su apoyo al resto de países y considera que la medida "no es de izquierdas o de derechas", mientras ha pedido parar los pies a Netanyahu y poner fin a los conflictos en Oriente Medio
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan
