📌 Pinned Post
This is my pinned post, where I’ll update and edit things as I go along. Think of it as an introduction to who I am, what I care about, and what you can expect to see here!

- - - - - -

🧑 About Me
I'm gender-fluid with interests in privacy, security, Buddhism, Psychedelics, decentralization, Debian, Linux, GrapheneOS, PeerTube, and much more.

🏴 Politics
I hold anti-capitalist and anarcho-syndicalist views influenced by Rudolf Rocker, advocating for the dismantling of oppressive hierarchies while fighting for a more just society.

💛 My Digital Habits
I use PeerTube, FreeTube and RSS feeds to stay updated on the news and the content I enjoy, as they provide information without distractions.

🖥 Technology & Software
My devices are a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS, a Thinkpad E14 Gen 4 that runs QubesOS/Elementary, and a custom-built desktop that uses Debian Trixie.

📷 Pixelfed
If you’re not into my rants about anarcho-syndicalism or my thoughts on computer operating systems, no worries, my Pixelfed is a great place to follow me without all the noise.

Ein Beitrag von Vassili Golod (https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tjj5mybc6kgmkhhjlg43aedg/post/3lh4k2m6ao22l) ist in meine Timeline gespült und mit 1/3 gekennzeichnet. Rufe ich das Original auf, bekomme ich die Meldung: Weitere Antworten auf bsky.brid.gy ansehen. Nein, ich will das nicht. EinThread ist einThread.

At #fosdem @dave of Mastodon dev team presented the next milestone for #Mastodon that will benefit the entire #fediverse

Content is already federated, while search is still confined to the local server. They’re working on search federation through service providers hosting content. #Fediscovery is a project to implement federated search on activitypub federated and decentralised networks. There is already a repository available for the specifications drafts.

Oh, more fun #fedidrama for anyone who cares.

Last night, @dansup (creator of #Pixelfed #Loops #FediDB and more...) began bashing @dumpsterqueer (creator of #GoToSocial) for "faking nodeinfo stats" on #GoToSocial servers.

He had at least three posts about it (screenshots from archive.ph snapshot attached) before deleting them. Two of the three posts were, unsurprisingly if you've kept up with Dan recently, pretty insensitive. Also a bit ironic, as Dan is known to boast from time to time about how much he lifts up other fediverse developers.

Another user pointed out they found an update in the GTS repo that added an option to randomize instance user stats to throw off bots from detecting exactly how many users were on an instance, if the GTS server admin chose to enable it. Apparently a few did, thus prompting Dan's posts when his fedidb.org site started picking up crazy user numbers on these GTS instances.

I don't know if Dan decided to delete his posts after finding this out, or if cooler heads prevailed in the end, but either way his posts are now gone. Just like the entry for GTS on the FediDB (https://fedidb.org/software/gotosocial).

At the time I started writing this, the other major fedi server catalog site #FediverseObserver still had GTS servers listed but had instance user numbers all set to 0. However, looking at it again now, they appear to have delisted GTS servers as well.

Link to archive.ph showing Dan's full timeline from last night: http://archive.today/XFfbg

Another fun day in the #fediverse!

Alt...

Screenshot of 3 posts from last night from the timeline of @dansup@mastodon.social Posts in chronological order: First post: "Gotosocial is now faking nodeinfo stats, that's pretty sad." Second Post: "@dumpsterqueer what is going on here?" This post also includes a screenshot from FediDB of the very high user and status counts of a handful of GoToSocial servers" Third post: "Let's not fake stats to give the false impression of activity, GotoSocial and @dumpsterqueer Not a good look, and a quick way to lose whatever legitimacy you had."

And it’s a wrap for my first (EPIC) day at #FOSDEM.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible - and energizing - it feels to be around the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol, founders of #Fediverse software, admins of popular instances and developers of tools I use every day.

I took the opportunity to thank them in person for their incredible work 😊

It’s also been amazing to finally meet IRL lots of cool people I had been corresponding with for months on the Fediverse.

The best day 💛

Have you ever had the experience of being away from your #Fediverse account (e.g., #mastodon) for a few days and having a follower or mutual ask about your absence?

(this might only make sense if you've been on the fediverse for at least a couple of months, but answer if you think it's relevant)

Boost for visibility?

#poll #socialmedia #experience

Benefits of having a Flipboard federated account and a Flipboard social account:
✅Increased visibility.
✅Share content between accounts to drive more traffic.
✅Audience refining – Flipboard users interact differently than Mastodon Flipboard Social users, allowing you to tailor content.
👉Get on both and experiment now #flipboard #fediverse #blogging #BloggingCommunity

My will the #fediverse fail? Users and admins. Mastodon fails to be a free speech platform. You cannot have honest discussions on controversial topics. You can barely even have honest discussions on non-controversial topics lest you be accused of hate, bigotry, racism, transphobia, etc. One comment and an admin will block all of their users from interacting with you or your server. Admins and users decry echo chambers yet make every effort to create their own.

If you want to be a single user admin, block all you want. You have have multiple users, let the users decide. I’m not against users blocking people or servers they don’t want to interact with. I’m against server admins making blanket decisions for their users, especially on large servers. People in the #fediverse claim to hate the big corps that run other centralized platforms, yet they act exactly the same or even much worse.

A question for #Developers of #mastodon and #fediverse :

What's the best #git client out there that works with every platform like Forgejo, Gitlab and Github?

Any answer would be appreciated!

On the PeerTube page, it states: "PeerTube is free, open-source, and created for non-commercial purposes."

Out of curiosity, if someone wanted to transition from producing content on YouTube to PeerTube, how would commercial content be received? Is there a platform within the Fediverse that accommodates commercial video content, or is this generally discouraged?

I'm not a video producer myself - just curious.

#pottery #art people,

Linda Arbuckle @Linda_Arbuckle just joined #mastodon !!!!

she is a potter and educator who has taught so many nationally recognized artists and educators, she's arguably one of the most influential potters of our time--especially in the area of low fire redclay/majolica.

She's trying the #fediverse out and just has a few followers right now. Let's make her feel welcome and give her profile a follow and boost!!

We are so glad you are here!!! Welcome Linda!!!

#Hallo Ihr Lieben auf https://lsbt.me ,

Unsere #Instanz wächst und wächst. Kürzlich hatten wir unser zwei-jähriges Jubiläum. Wir haben aktuell 192 trötende #Rüssel hier auf unserer Instanz und das bedeutet, dass unsere Instanz mit eine der erfolgreichen Instanzen im #deutsch sprachigen Raum geworden ist.

Das bedeutet aber auch, dass der Instanz #Server einiges zu leisten hat. Er muss performant bleiben und er muss groß genug sein, um die ganzen #Tröts mit ihren #Medien wie #Bilder und #Videos zu speichern. Auch der #Backup-Server muss entsprechend dimensioniert sein. Das alles kostet viel #Geld im #Monat, das ich vollständig aus der eigenen #Tasche bezahle.

Wenn es Dir hier bei uns also gefällt und Du nicht möchtest, dass diese Instanz irgendwann in der Versenkung verschwindet, wie so viele andere kleine und große Instanzen auch, dann denke doch einmal drüber nach, ob Du mich dabei nicht ein kleines bisschen #unterstützen möchtest.

Spenden kannst du entweder per #Bitcoin, Paypal oder Banküberweisung. Alle Informationen dazu findest du unter #Spendenmöglichkeiten auf der "About" Seite dieser Instanz ganz unten: https://lsbt.me/about#spenden
Am meisten freue ich mich natürlich, wenn Du die Möglichkeit der regelmäßigen #Spende per #PayPal oder #Dauerauftrag nutzen würdest.

Vielen Dank und weiterhin ganz viel Spaß bei uns, wünscht Dir Eure #Admina
Christin

Friends of the #fediverse , how exactly do lists work? I made one and added a user to it as a test (and the account posts frequently) and the list is never populated.

Be back online at the #fediverse after some days away due to a busy work week, a sick wife, and a sick 1y old.

Fijne #GlobalSwitchDay aan iedereen die het viert! ✨️

Mijn reis tot nu toe:
- Van WhatsApp en Messenger volledig overgegaan op Signal
- Van X al eerder overgegaan op Mastodon, wat ik nu meer gebruik
- Van Instagram in sluimerende overgang naar Pixelfed: @lynchantropen@pixelfed.social
- Facebook verwijderd zonder vervanging

Bovendien ook:
- Van Gmail overgegaan op https://mailbox.org/
- En van Chrome op https://duckduckgo.com/

Dat ruimt lekker op. Meer verhuistips? Altijd welkom! 🫶🏻

Afbeelding met de titel "JOIN THE FEDIVERSE" en de hashtag #GLOBALSWITCHDAY. De afbeelding moedigt aan om over te stappen van bekende sociale mediaplatforms naar gedecentraliseerde alternatieven binnen de Fediverse. Er zijn negen voorbeelden met pijlen die de overstap aangeven: 1. WhatsApp → Signal 2. Reddit → Lemmy 3. X → Mastodon 4. Instagram → Pixelfed 5. Facebook Messenger → Signal 6. Facebook → Friendica 7. YouTube → PeerTube 8. TikTok → Loops.video Elke overstap is visueel weergegeven met de logo's van de platforms, kleurrijke achtergronden en pijlen die de richting van de overstap aangeven. Bovenaan staat een kleurrijk Fediverse-logo.

Question: Can the fediverse replace X/Insta/FB?

(surprising, paraphrased 😄) Answer from Tante:

Well ... maybe it shouldn't?

Because then you're still stuck in this logic of there having to be this thing that everybody's on

For example, instagram sucks. Everyone is stylized and successful and beautiful. It makes me feel bad. Should we then build an open source version of something that makes people feel bad?

Try rethink things and what works for your community. And that may be something super small, instead of the one-to-one replacement of such a big platform

Good morning and happy first day of the weekend to all of you here within the #Fediverse

How are we all doing and what do you have planned for the day today, if anything?

I plan on being as lazy as possible today and not doing much of anything other than play some video games and lay on the couch, watch TV and likely take a nap or three.

I have no plans to go anywhere today or tomorrow and I hope I can stick to those plans 100%.

Mastodon's attack surface for phishing is insanely large. They normalized a UI flow where a foreign server initiates a login to your home server. 🤯

This hasn't been blowing up only because attackers see fedi accounts as low-value; fedi is too small a target at this point.

I want to revive my old blog, keeping the old posts. What's the nicest #fediverse #activitypub enabled blog software at the moment? I have markdown files in #hugo now. I could use it's rss, but I'd rather have software that's activitypub native.

My blog also needs to render a static html version which I can publish to #tor, #i2p, #gopher and #ipfs, since I do that currently as well (and it needs some custom javascript to do url replacements/clearnet warnings there).

A colorful image showing 8 global switch suggestions presented in three columns. Upper left is the fediverse logo with text Join the fediverse #globalswitchday. In total we see 16 platform logo's in their respected brand color and underneath each logo the name of the platform. All switch combinations have an arrow in the middle pointing to the right (from to). In the left column: X to Mastodon, Facebook to friendica. In the middle column WhatsApp to Signal, Instagram to Pixelfed and YouTube to PeerTube. In the right column: Reddit to Lemmy, Facebook Messenger to Signal and TikTok to loops.video.

For some, joining Mastodon might seem risky because "the server could shut down at any time" or because it's managed by a single administrator. While these concerns are understandable, Mastodon has far more safeguards in place compared to centralized platforms:

1. Admins are typically experienced sysadmins with a strong passion for server management.

2. It's generally recommended to have multiple admins (we have four).

3. Many servers have financial plans in place, such as donation systems. We have my company backing things up.

4. Infrastructure is often cost-effective, keeping operating costs low.

A few additional points to consider:

1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").

2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.

Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.

The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

#GutenMorgen liebe #Mastodonier und #Fediverser,

es ist Samstag, der 01. Februar 2025. Die #Sternzeit beträgt -37914.1 (ab dem ersten Warp Flug von Zefran Cochrane, 2063), bzw. -297914.1 (ab TNG, 2323). Wir befinden uns auf der Plattform https://lsbt.me, im Internet des Planeten Erde, im System Sol, in der Milchstraße (Sagittarius A*), im Universum.

Wir haben aktuell 191 User. Diese haben bisher 34222 Tröts geschrieben. Das sind 179.17 Tröts pro Rüssel.

Es folgt die Weisheit des Tages:

@jimclark #Friendica als #fb Alternative ist mir auch noch suspekt. Aber Mastodon als Einstieg ins #Fediverse finde ich super!

Guten Morgen #Fediverse.

Schauen wir wieder einmal zuerst in meine #MeineTimeline... #GlobalSwitchDay ist heute ein Thema,#Loops, nationaler „Ändere-dein-Passwort-Tag“, sehr viel Pixelfed, Strafzölle, Derrick (Horst Tappert) und es ist kalt! (Keine Sorge, politischer wird es jetzt nicht :: ).

#ÄndereDeinPasswortTag: Das mit den Passwörtern hab ich gerade erst ganz frisch hinter mir. Wenn man auf vielen Seiten/bei vielen Diensten angemeldet ist, kann das schon mal ein sehr umfangreiches Programm sein... 🙃😉

Ich habe mir mittlerweile Loops (Testflight) auf iOS runtergeladen und ein wenig getestet. Bis jetzt läuft die App stabil bei mir. Ich werde mir diese in den nächsten Tagen immer noch mal anschauen, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass hat Potenzial. Videos aus der App kann man direkt teilen, wie der unten stehende Link, passend zum #Caturday.

Zum Thema #GlobalSwitchDay... ja, an und für sich eine gute Idee. Aber ich bleibe bei der Meinung, dass man niemanden dazu drängen sollte. Das muss jeder für sich selbst wissen und auch selbst entscheiden dürfen, welchen Messenger/Dienst er/sie nutzt, ohne dafür verurteilt zu werden! Man kann anderen Menschen immer Vorschläge machen, Alternativen aufzeigen, aberjemanden dafür auszugrenzen oder gar zu beschimpfen, finde ich schon extrem grenzwertig!

BTW: Ein interessanter Messenger ist übrigens auch #Matrix -> Link: Element | Eine souveräne und sichere Kommunikationsplattform
Ich hatte mich auch vor kurzem dafür angemeldet und finde, Matrix ist eine sehr gute Alternative. Dort gibt es auch Gruppen, z.B. auch Fediverse-Gruppen!

So, das waren jetzt erstmal genug Informationen auf einmal. Ich hol mir noch Kaffee. ::
