News from fediverse

Use of the #Fediverse & Mastodon by government agencies offers a new paradigm in public sector communication, marked by increased security, autonomy, and inclusivity. However, it also brings challenges in terms of reach and complexity.

#^Hubzilla-Häppchen: Die Crux mit der Registrierung

Diese Mastodon Instanz werkelt so etwas im Verborgenen vor sich her und hat noch keine wirkliche Bestimmung gefunden. Ausser, dass der Test schon länger erfolgreich läuft, Mastodon als Ein-User-Instanz auf einem Raspi4 laufen lassen zu können. Und das scheint eigentlich ohne Probleme zu funktionieren.
Das #Fediverse bleibt weiterhin ein interessantes Projekt, in dem ganz verschiedene Programme (Plattformen) zum Einsatz kommen und es alle verdienen, wahrgenommen zu werden.

Diese Mastodon Instanz wurde soeben auf Version v4.3.1 gehoben.

Happy start to the week, friends of the #BSDCafe and the whole #Fediverse.

May the sunrise this morning bring a bit of light and warmth to all of you, making your week brighter and more positive.

20 years later, #Veoh bids farewell.

If you're looking for a new home, search for #PeerTube , a #decentralized #distributed #federated & open, video hosting platform connected to the #Fediverse network.

Due to #spam, the following server is recommended for #Fediblock:

• puls.social

I have reported multiple accounts to the admin for spam. After days of waiting to say if the admin would act on the report, he has failed to moderate his server in any way.

Looking at the admin's account, it seems he's been inactive on the #Fediverse since June 1, 2023. I have good reason to believe that this server has been abandoned by the admin. Continuing to federate allows a vector for spam and #abuse.

I created an app that allows you to find people from other Mastodon instances based on hashtags you both like.

Right I have successfully updated my #fediverse link on the footer of my blog and on my #git repo to point to my #snac instance here. I have also managed to successfully verify my git and blog URL's on my Bio too. Like I said I'm easily pleased.😄

One thing that The #ATmosphere network have that is not in any #SNS (yet): badges / labels.

See these screenshots.

Sieht so aus, als wäre das Upgrade auf Version v4.3.0 meiner #Mastdon Instanz gelungen.
#Fediverse forever

So I've been running my own #Snac instance for the past week and I have to say that I'm actually loving it. It hardly takes up any resources and the inbuilt web interface is easily configurable with nothing more than #CSS .
There are some things that folk used to running #Mastodon might not like. For example it does not show any follower or following numbers to any instances. So people using Mastodon will see 0 followers and 0 following even though those Snac uses may have 100's of followers .
You do get a people tab on the snac interface that is just a list divided into people following you and people you follow but no numbers. This is an intentional design feature by the author @[email protected] who stated.

I haven't implemented a simple count of following / followers on purpose; I consider all metrics in network media inherently toxic, because it's a way of comparing the relative success of people. This is also why, as seen from other Fediverse implementations, snac accounts always report 0 / 0 connections.

Also not all features work with android / iOS apps but most of the essentials do. I occasionally use #Tusky when I'm not just using the web interface for Snac which I just find easier. I think I will be staying with this fantastic lightweight piece of software and look forward to see what new features get added in the future. A wish would be to have a way of importing followers from Mastodon to Snac, which I think the dev is working on at the moment. Oh and I nearly forgot to say that you can import the CSV file of people that you are following through the command line and it's fairly simple to do too. I'd 100% recommended giving Snac a try if you're looking for a no nonsene lightweight #Fediverse instance.

Another idea I'm playing with: a fediverse starter pack.

I wrote an open letter to artists and other creatives who are thinking about giving the fediverse a chance:

"There’s a better way!"

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @[email protected]'s @[email protected] and @[email protected]'s @[email protected] join fediverse futurist @[email protected] for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

Any of clever folk out there fancy helping me out by making me a 32x32 png ( No background ) mono image of the #Fediverse logo using the same colour as this image on my website ?
The reason is I'm going to update the footer on my site to point to my new #snac instance which is not Mastodon. So I thought the fediverse logo in the same style would be perfect. I cannot remember how I came about the other images in the same colour ? Searching about I cannot find similar matches.

The Fediverse logo for reference.

"In the wake of that change, X competitor BlueSky announced that it had seen more than 100,000 new signups."
