Bonfire is the lego bricks of the fediverse, creating modular packages to build any kind of platform you can imagine.

The stretch goal is a community flavor that connects with the threadiverse at large.

You can help them click a few more bricks together, with some interesting reward options for your donation (for a very limited time - hurry!).

- Digital and physical artwork
- A Bonfire website theme
- 1-1 time with the devs

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/

Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

Good news everyone! We hit our first milestone: maintenance is 100% funded. Thank you all ❤️

Next up: unlock the stretch goal to co‑design federated groups: community‑owned spaces to organise across the fediverse, with no server or platform lock‑in.

Read about why this matters and how it can empower communities: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/why-…

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse

Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse.

Hello #fediverse,
I have a question. Because everyone is integrating these stupid chatbots for "summaries", I am very skeptical of having my work circulating, even just internally within the university cohort, because I don't want my stuff to be fed to LLMs.
Is there a way to export these files in a was that when people feeds them to their "assistants" the assistants' dataset gets "poisoned" and can scrap it properly?

And it’s a wrap for the Social Media Strategies track at #TechWeekBologna 🇮🇹

I’m INCREDIBLY grateful to @morloi for giving us an opportunity to talk about the #fediverse on the main stage.

And it was so cool to finally meet @niccolove IRL. He’s so inspiring!

I hope we piqued the curiosity of people in the audience. About 1 out of 100 people had previously heard about the fediverse!

This year, @ProPublica reported on ICE splitting up families, the people behind DOGE and their impact, the backroom dealings of Trump and others in his administration, and more. I'm proud to work with these journalists - and they need your support.

As always, I want to prove that the #fediverse is an important source of support for nonprofits like ours. We're here, we're engaged, and we care.

If you have the means, please consider a donation:

Anyone by change archiving Fediverse posts and able to help me find a handfull of pictures using their cache URLs from about 7-8 months ago?

(You can contact me via DM and I assure you that I won't tell anyone that you did archive these things in case you're fearing that I would.)

Huh. Just chatted in person with someone who's been on #mastodon for a while, now, who honestly thought that all the Mastodon domains were run by Mastodon. And having a different domain was, like, just a vanity thing to look cool. It only came up because they were complaining about an issue they were having, and they were on a smaller server (not naming it for anonymity), so I suggested contacting their server admin about the problem. I was surprised when they answered "Dude nobody at big companies reads those reports. It just all goes to AI or whatever." It took some actual convincing to get them to believe that the server they're on does, in fact, have a living breathing human admin who can be talked to.

Anyway, folks, support your #fediverse server admins and moderators. With money, where you can. They're almost certainly getting messages from users who think that reporting things to an admin here is exactly like reporting stuff to Facebook or Google. IE: screaming at a giant faceless entity who's never going to care or do anything about whatever your problem is.

Everything has gone to...

In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.

Enshittification consists of four stages:

1. Platforms are good for users

2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers

3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit

4. Platforms die

- Someone trying to help protect the voices of genocide survivors on the fediverse

- Someone denying the existence of genocide survivors and working to get them banned from Mastodon servers

Some Mastodon server admins: “We literally cannot see a difference between the two.”

You wanna know the difference? You already know who you would want with you when you’re faced with a fascist in a dark alley. Unless, of course, that’s the one character you identify with most in this post.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about PeerTube, Loops, Bandwagon, and other platforms in the Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization

Sure, we have open source, federated replacements for Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. How do we get creators to use this stuff? One consideration involves the ability to pay for things.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.

Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.

🐃 🐄 🐮

Have you sat on a cow?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Tomorrow I'll travel to Bologna, Italy, to talk about the #fediverse at Bologna Tech Week: bolognatechweek.com

I'll be on a panel with @niccolove, moderated by @morloi.

I'm super grateful for this opportunity, as this year the conference will have a fediverse panel for the first time ever!!!

The attendees are mostly marketers and content creators, so it's an amazing feeling to put in a good word about the fediverse. I'll do my best 🤗

Bologna Tech Week | Edizione 2025: dal 28 novembre al 5 dicembre

^{Bologna Tech Week}

Wir starten heute wieder mit unserem jährlichen #Adventskalender mit Themen zu Digitalisierung und Weiterbildung. Jeden Tag tröten wir einen neuen Link oder Hinweis.

Unser Schwerpunkt in Social Media liegt im #Fediverse auf unserem eigenen #Mastodon Server unter social.laaw.nrw

Der Server steht auch Mitarbeitenden aus Mitgliedseinrichtungen der #LAAW.nrw zur Verfügung.

Das Social Media Netzwerk Fediverse wird hier in vier Minuten erklärt bei digitalcourage.
