The "#FreeSpeech" #elonmusk strikes again on #Twitter #X.

"You can't mute either the Trump2024 or MAGA hashtags (you can put them in your muted words, but nothing will be muted), and if you click one of them, THIS shit happens."

Post on #bluesky by @WillWeaverRVA

The more I learn about the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub, the more flawed and broken it feels.
Biggest flaw: Comments are not properly federated. If no one from my instance is following the person replying, I don't get to see it. Why wasn't this fixed until now? Can this even be fixed?
This makes this place feel way more dead than it actually is.

It's not surprising that #BlueSky chose to develop their own protocol(#ATProto) because they saw the flaws and the refusal to fix them.

This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go?

I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this.

På sociala medier som Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Youtube, Snapchat, LinkedIn och Pinterest med flera bestämmer de företag som äger dem över vad du ser i ditt flöde. Flödet är maximerat för vinst, dvs att företag ska kunna tjäna så mycket pengar så möjligt på dig. Men det finns också social media som du själv bestämmer över.

Kurz vor dem großen Update für #Mastodon, das die fehlerhafte Preview korrigieren sollte nochmal ein Blick auf Trafficquellen für @heiseonline: Demnach hat #Mastodon #Twitter überholt, auch ohne einen Teil des Traffics aus dem #Fediverse. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass das automatische Posten auf #X Probleme macht (wenn es geht, ist X vorne).

#Flipboard und #Facebook wachsen leicht. #Bluesky unten konstant hinter #Threads, obwohl dort alle und bei letzterem nur wenige Links geteilt werden.

Last Week in #fediverse and #bluesky - ep 77

The news this week:
- Dutch government plans to expand their #Mastodon project
- Nomadic Identity (decoupling user identity from servers) over #activitypub comes to the fediverse
- @openvibe combines Mastodon, #nostr and now Bluesky into a single app and a single feed.

Last Week in Fediverse and Bluesky – ep 77

Dutch government's Mastodon pilot extended and expanded, a first implementation in the fediverse that decouples identity from your server, and a cross-protocol client with OpenVibe.

I just found out about @openvibe@mastodon.social and it seems pretty awesome.

It'd be even more awesome if it had a desktop app, and if it supported other ActivityPub based social media, not just Mastodon. But it's a good start.
