FediTip of the day:
If your profile and posts are set to "public" and you can read this very post, you should have no sense of "privacy" here on Fedi. That means ANYONE can reply.
There's 20,000+ instances and new ones every day, there's NO WAY to tell who is accessing your posts or what they're doing with them.
Fediverse is not some kinda "bastion for privacy" nor is there any sort of "consent" required to see your posts if they are public.
The only way you can be 100% sure that your followers are the only ones that directly see your posts is to make your profile and posts private. Even then, screenshots exist.
Remember, you're on the internet. Once you post it, it's probably not going away. This is true everywhere.

I have lost SO many brain cells today by browsing the Fediverse tag.
I wonder how many of you work full-time for absolutely nothing and how do you do that?
Oh wait....that's 0.
Exactly 0 of you work full-time without pay, so why do you expect someone else to do that with a family to support?
That's asinine and ridiculous.
Mastodon devs have PLENTY to be criticized about. However, wanting to get paid for doing their jobs isn't one of them.🤦♂️
I'm so glad that there are leaders of this space that don't care what the lot of you dumbasses think, cause Fedi would fail if it was up to y'all.
New: Last Week in #Fediverse - ep 66
This week's news:
- The EU Voice pilot that hosted Mastodon and Peertube instance for the EU over the last 2 years will come to an end. The @EU_Commission account will continue to be active and grow their Mastodon presence.
- Ghost announces a major push for fediverse support, adding #Activitypub to their posts and building an ActivityPub powered news reader app.
- Mastodon starts a US-based nonprofit.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 66
The EU pilot for the fediverse comes to an end, but the European Commission will stay on the fediverse; Ghost announces that they will support ActivityPub and build a fediverse news reading client, and Mastodon creates a U.S.-based non-profit.fediversereport.com
I gotta say, I never seen people HATE the platform they're on and don't want it to succeed as much as Fedi users hate Fedi.
It's kinda weird. Ngl. There's even an account with 200k+ followers called Fedi.Tips spreading hate towards Fedi possibly succeeding. It's wild.
I fear for the platform's future because of its userbase and that's not something I'd ever think I would say.

It seems as if you are migrating from #Mastodon towards another platform.
Which #Fediverse option are you considering‽ #WordPress with the #ActivityPub plugin enabled‽
Depending on the host, that would be a less expensive option.
#Fedify is an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript & #JavaScript. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.
The key features it provides currently are:
• Type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary (including some vendor-specific extensions)
• #WebFinger client and server
• HTTP Signatures
• Middleware for handling webhooks
• #NodeInfo protocol
• #Node.js, #Deno, and #Bun support
If you're curious, take a look at the Fedify website! There's comprehensive docs, a demo, a tutorial, example code, and more:
Fedify
Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse.fedify.dev
https://loops.video is a very promising ActivityPub platform for short form video, and could use your financial support to help fund and sustain this initiative!

Let’s build a new TikTok that’s federated and better for humanity! Boosts appreciated!
Some people get replies and just do not engage at all....
Like, what is the point of posting to social media if you're not even gonna be SOCIAL?!?🤦♂️
Especially Fedi, cause it's not like we have some dumb ad service that pays you for views...You ain't making money here unless you're posting off-platform links to buy stuff.
I just don't get it. It's social media. Not "shout to the void and ignore everyone" media.🙄

"#ActivityPods is a combination of two #W3C standards: #ActivityPub, and the #Solid specification. The first standard is for data federation and networks, the second is for data storage and access. The ideals of both projects put together create a compelling vision: data control, across user applications, in service to communication across the web."

ActivityPods: Federated Solid Pods
One of the Fediverse's most-repeated selling points is the following premise: YOU OWN YOUR DATA. It's a wonderful sentiment, the idea that you can pack up everything and take it with you. The problemSean Tilley (We Distribute)
I like that bigger platforms like Flipboard are starting to federate. Though, with a supposed 150m+ accounts, its kinda strange that I don't get much boosted to my timeline....
I guess there isn't much on Flipboard that's within my interests...🤔 🤷♂️
The #ActivityPub ecosystem is evolving at a rapid pace. One project, #ActivityPods, is making an ambitious effort to combine the Fediverse with the power of #Solid.

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”
Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:

The blogging platform #Ghost is working on adding #ActivityPub integration. That means, among other things, being able to follow Ghost-powered blogs and comment on articles right from your Mastodon account. The website they made to explain their plans is really nice! This is what momentum looks like.

According to Flipboard Co-founder and CEO, Mike McCue, Flipboard will allow users to follow ActivityPub accounts in the coming weeks!
Exciting news considering that Flipboard has over 150m members!😁

The future of social media is now.
Only now realizing there's and open source alternative Ghost that's like Substack. And there's some talk about Ghost joining ActivityPub. I think if it happens it will be nice, even if I was not even know it existed up until today.

Hubzilla erklärt
Eine sehr große Zahl derer, die ins Fediverse hineinschauen, tun dies mit Mastodon. Mastodon wird von vielen synonym zum Fediverse betrachtet. Der Grund dafür ist auch, dass es selbst in Fachmedien so dargestellt wird. Dass es sehr viele andere Dienste gibt, mit denen man am Fediverse teilnehmen kann, ist einer großen Zahl […]
#ActivityPub #Fediverse #Hubzilla #Zot

Still in development, but got #ActivityPub replies working! Once it goes live, replies from the fediverse will show up on Remark.as.
Last major issue is to add some basic moderation. Already got instance-level blocking done so I can easily defederate from bad servers, but want to make sure we can handle any potential abuse from individual users too.
