@elduvelle @Moss

It's possible to split the middle, though. For instance, I am running a #WordPress site - and turned it into a #Fediverse server with the #ActivityPub plugin.

Now people can search for individual blog posts on their Fediverse instance, and read it and comment on it as if it was a Mastodon post (for instance).

There are also quite a few other Fediverse-based blogging solutions that allow people to blog right into other people's feeds.

How far will it go this time?
This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more.
That's #Sharkey, #Misskey, #Pixelfed, #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Akkoma…

If you see it, please share it.

Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?

Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞

Hey folks,

@aseelfromgz and I had the pleasure of welcoming two new families to Gaza Verified today.

They are:

• Nour (@nour_s) – please send her some love as the genocidal Israeli army bombed a position near her home while we were talking
• Saeed (@saeeeed)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, donate to their fundraisers.

You can see a list of our Gaza Verified families who have Chuffed or GoFundMe accounts, sorted by those who’ve received the least in donations over the last seven days, at:

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Nour’s donation link uses PayPal so she’s not on that list, but here’s her fundraiser: paypal.com/donate/?campaign_id…

I've been here for years and I still haven't cracked the Fediverse code.

On Twitter I could post "eating cereal" and get 50 bot likes + one crypto bro following me.
Here I can post a 30-second video of my cat trying to fight the vacuum cleaner with the caption "me when someone's instance federates with threads dot net" and… absolute silence. Not even a sympathy boost from the admin who literally pays for the server I'm yelling on 😭

So please, someone finally explain the secret sauce:
Do I need to switch my cat to a vegan gluten-free diet? Do I have to mention systemd negatively in every post? Or is the real trick sacrificing a Raspberry Pi to the old gods of ActivityPub??

My relationship with the Social Web is a bit of a rollercoaster, it goes up and down and up and down 🎢

At the minute, we're up, in a big way. I dare say we might stay here with everything we're building at @newsmast, the leadership of @mellifluousbox, and the work @samvie and others are doing in the EU.

Let's keep it up!

The future of hope on the Social Web

Things are changing on the Social Web. Now is the time to start dreaming. For a long time, many of us have understood the potential of the Social Web. But, I think it's fair to say, there are also dark times, hopeless times.

Hey everyone,

@joynewacc and I had the honour of speaking to @Dalla1982 today and would like to welcome her and her family to Gaza Verified.

She’s an architect who, due to the war, has lost her job and must now support her family through donations until some semblance of normal life returns to Gaza.

Please give her a follow and help if you can.

(She doesn’t have her fundraiser on her profile yet but I’ve asked her to add it. Once she does, you will be able to see her on our donate page along with the other families: gaza-verified.org/donate/)

After nearly 10 years, Eugen Rochko is stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon.

"There are too many examples of founder egos sabotaging thriving communities, and while I’d like to think myself an exception, I understand why people would prefer better guardrails."

blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/…

"I think that taking a step back, realizing this isn’t just mine anymore — now other people are involved, other people are responsible for this — is going to allow me to restore some balance in my life."

Hi everyone,

They are:

• Yazzan (@yazzangaza)
• Hadi (@HadiSamir)
• Abeer (@mmotherps)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can. (And please share this so others might do the same.)

And remember that you can see the fundraisers of all our members in a single list (ordered by those who have received the fewest donations in the last seven days) at:

Hi everyone,

@joynewacc and I had the honour of speaking to four friends from Gaza today, meet some of their families, and to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Yosef (@yosefAziz)
• Mohammad (@Mohmad30)
• Asar (@AsarSameer)
• Doaa (@Aa102030)

They are also already showing on our donations page (and, as you can see, their fundraisers have had very little in donations over the past week, so hopefully the fediverse can step up and start to help them):

Please give them a follow and please share this so others can too.

Today’s Gaza Verified verification calls are proceeding without any technical difficulties for once (I’ve jinxed it now, haven’t I?) so I’ve found myself with a nice ten-minute break between calls and what better use of the time than to toot about it? :P

@joynewacc and I have already verified two new members and will hopefully be verifying two more before the hour is done. (I say Joy and I… she’s the one doing all the work, really. I’m just there waving and smiling.) :)
