I guess it is not a surprise. Most of you think that social media platforms that utilize algorithmic feeds are inherently anti-free-speech. So do I.

You have made the choice to join Mastodon, where the content you see is chronological and not decided by algorithms. IMHO, you have made the right choice.

I remember a time when we all viewed the Web with optimism. The more people we could get to join, the better for the world. Now it is a bit more mixed, but IMHO social media companies that utilize algorithmic feeds are to blame. We can move towards a better Web together by getting more people to join us.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!

But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.

Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

You want to promote #Mastodon / the #Fediverse? The Guardian searches opinions for a feature: "have you migrated between social media platforms recently? We would like to hear from people who have recently switched social media platforms about their reasons why." theguardian.com/media/2024/nov… (*everything* is explained in the link, also the possibility to use SecureDrop).

It's been six weeks since I joined Mastodon. Tomorrow I'm making a presentation about the Fediverse to my local computer club to share my experience so far.

@Andrea
Why be on BlueSky when you can just follow the ' B.S. Bridge ' account and stay comfortably on the #fediverse & still have individual blocks via the B.S. bridge also. This side steps all their tracking B.S. by NOT being on the network anyways ╮(^▽^)╭

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).

#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

ich trage hiermit auch mal eine eule nach athen ...

I had to commemorate the start of this new era with a selfie (my sweatshirt was totally on point - happy coincidence). I’m sooo excited! I had always been intimidated by Linux (as a non-technical person) but the #Fediverse changed all that.

Let the great #FOSS #Linux adventure begin! ✊

P.S.: ended up installing #Ubuntu Desktop on my #RaspberryPi5

If you run a Mastodon server you probably already know about some of the existing tools for collectively managed domain blocks.

As an alternative, I created a simple Python script that lets you copy public domain blocks from servers you trust for an easy import.

Keeping your community safe should be a number one priority!

Just a little bit frustrating to read people saying "the Fediverse should have starter packs" when I've spent the last four+ years hand-curating recommended accounts to follow on @FediFollows and fedi.directory

I'm not the only person doing this kind of initiative, the Trunk directory (communitywiki.org/trunk) was the first, and the Fediverse.info directory by @dansup (fediverse.info/explore/people) is an automated way for people to add themselves to suggested lists.

We already have these things on the Fedi, people just need to ask around and discover them, and let their friends know about them.

#Fediverse


Det är inte bara inom ekonomin, geopolitiken och miljön som vi i #Europa nu har anledning att se om vårt eget hus. Nu behöver vi även tänka om vad gäller de amerikanska techbolagens dominans. Vi i Europa behöver steppa upp rejält inom #IT och #AI och försöka ta oss ur beroendet av både #USA och #Kina.

Föreställer mig att det är decentraliserade lösningar som kan bli svaret på denna utmaning.

Check out @steve on #SocialHub with a proposal to work on #ActivityPub #C2S, the client-to-server Social API part of the #W3C Recommendation.

The Social API didn't get much uptake on the #Fediverse where generally the #Mastodon API is used (and abused) for client/server communication.

It is not because the Social API isn't good, just that no one ever did the legwork to mature this part of the spec.

Are you interested in C2S and help push the #SocialWeb?

🆕 blog! “Introducing ActivityBot - the simplest way to build Mastodon Bots”

As you may have read, BotsIn.Space is closing down, I have lots of automated bot accounts living on the Fediverse - and I want them to continue posting. Installing and maintaining an entire Mastodon instance sounds like hard work. Paying people to host my stuff feels …

As more people are abandoning X, again, perhaps my short introduction to Mastodon might be of use, if you'd like to share it with your friends?
