So...now that BridgyFed is live, how about if those who don't want an open platform (like we currently have) block the bot. Then after a reasonable enough time (a month?) We make it opt-out like the rest of the platform?

I'm still SO confused by the fact that a lot of you want a closed platform, while being on an open one, yet here we are.

What say you? Can we ACTUALLY get back to the goal of this platform? to be open and allow those on other platforms to follow and interact with us freely? Or are we still wanting our "open walled garden" concept?

ActivityPub is built on being an open platform for engagement across social networks. However, what we have here with BridgyFed, does not build on that goal, because you all asked it not to.😔

Sunday MIGHT be blog day...🤔

I haven't done that in A LONG TIME. However, there's been LOTS happening and I'm very excited for the future of the platform, right now.

I am obviously still a little cynical when it comes to corporations and their intentions with Fedi, though.

If I have time, (and if I feel good enough. Anxiety is a bitch) I'll do a writing session and detail my thoughts, reasonings, and experiences with this social movement so far.

I'll also be detailing the nuances of each cross-platform integration I have firsthand experience with.

Let me know if this is a type of blog post would be interesting or intriguing to you and it might help me with motivation to pull it off. I don't want to "yell into the void". Especially with something I have so much passion for, and will take some time to complete.

I can't wait till Fedi opens certain floodgates.

Lots of niche topics and communities are non-existent here.

I try SO hard to engage in pro wrestling discussion here, but it just isn't happening like it is on other platforms.

On threads, in 4 minutes, Smackdown will most likely be Trending. Here, maybe 5 people will casually mention it throughout the show.

There's a lot to be desired here and I hope this new social movement changes things for the better.

So, what's the update on #Flickr and #Tumblr joining the #Fediverse network? I haven't heard anything from them, while other services are starting to test their #ActivityPub implementations.

If you are on a tightly locked down Akkoma instance, like mine, and you’d like to follow the BlueSky bridge but struggle to do so, try logging in to your account via Phanpy instead. That’ll work.

It's such an exciting time for social media.

Fediverse is going near-mainstream due to wide adoption.

Bluesky now "unofficially" federates with the fantastic work of Ryan Barrett's BridgyFed!

Threads has one-way federation and claims to plan to fully federate soon enough.

Flipboard is actively working on Federation, some parts already working!

Nostr is federated using the Momostr Pink bridge which also bridges Threads.

The future of interconnected social media is now. Exciting times, we are in!😁

Good evening to all of you, my dear friends here on #D* and in the #Fediverse 🤩


Some, or likely even more than some of you, will possibly be dreamers just like me ... (hence my name :)

So I would like to leave you with this little story and wish you a nice morning, day or evening, depending on which part of the world you are currently in. 🤗

Who are you?


These unofficial Mastodon accounts of space agencies are bots that merely share news items the agencies publish elsewhere, yet the accounts have quite a lot of followers:

- NASA: @nasa 71K followers
- ESA: @esa 1.4K followers

There's an unfulfilled demand for public institutions to communicate on open and independent platforms.

#nasa #esa #space #mastodon #fediverse


Sharkey seems to be really good, and a lot better than Akkoma, at accepting bridges, webfinger redirects and possibly-sloppy usernames.

Sharkey is the one service where I’ve been able to add all my test accounts on the first attempt so far. All the others need fiddling and/or adjustments.

#Sharkey #Akkoma #Fediverse #Testing


Dear European based LGBTIQ+ people.. (so basically everybody).

Today I attended an event in #Amsterdam organized by @waag @DeGroene @gemeenteamsterdam and the #oBa Amsterdam public library called #StateOfTheInternet

Featured speaker this time was Euro Member of Parliament @kimvsparrentak who passionately spoke on the need for a more free Internet detached from #bigTech and more focussed on #Democracy and real #Social interaction.

When confronted with her presence on X and Insta, and the lack of active presence here on the #Fediverse we promised to help her.

Please help us get a decent follower-base here and follow her account right now, before she even gets a chance to get more active. A follower base of more than a 1000 people will surely help her convince her party members to spend time and money on a real presence here.

I used a cut out of the image posted by @sicco in this post: https://todon.nl/@sicco/112372340250592627 thank you for that Sicco.

Secure Encryption has long been discussed as a possibility in the #Fediverse. Now, one of ActivityPub's co-authors is looking into making it happen.

https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/encrypted-dms-activitypub/


I wrote about how E2EE DMs are becoming a very real possibility for the social web. This would mean that #Fediverse users could potentially open DMs to mutuals across the social web without needing a separate account.

Very excited to see where @evan and @tomcoates take this research. More in the link below 👇🏼

Do you want to help support #Fediverse musicians, like the ones you hear on @radiofreefedi? We are looking to increase our coverage, starting with more Mixtapes. But, we need your help!

We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us make more Mixtapes, with the ultimate goal of releasing a new one every Friday. Don't worry - we'll be using a round robin so that different people take turns.

If you'd like to help out with this, send us a message!

Ya know....I've been on Threads for a little bit now and experienced some interesting things.

Mastodon devs claim that they're taking so long to do Quote Posts because it's "not as simple as posting a link, like these third party apps are doing, its actually quite complex".

And here Threads is, doing exactly that. You post a Threads link into a post, it becomes a quote post....🤔

Is there some weird trickery behind the scenes going on that I'm not aware that is happening or....is it really that easy? I do feel like I'm being fooled by Threads.

Worked on a #fediverse client hoping to eventually incorporate it into my #game .. it was more of a "learning exercise" and was kind of a "solution looking for a problem"

I had to sit it aside for the last 6+ months because "game maintenance and new feature stuff" was honestly more important.

Today, I finally found the problem that will make me prioritize my #fedi development again.. 😂

Can't wait to get started back in a couple of weeks!
