GNU Too (gnu2@gnusocial.jp)'s status on Tuesday, 09-Jul-2024 03:09:10 JST GNU Too Have you ever thought that the #value of the #production of those who have the luxury of being able to produce a single #copyrighted material one time, like #engineers, #authors, #artists, etc., is being overvalued compared to those who produce the same material many times over, like #farmers, #factory #workers, #fishermen, etc.? -

Pascale MTL (koritsi@blacktwitter.io)'s status on Tuesday, 12-Dec-2023 21:28:29 JST Pascale MTL “The Ripple Effect of Ensuring #BlackAuthors Get Published
While the mission of We Need Diverse Books, or WNDB, is spelled out in its name, its goal extends beyond putting more #Black, #Asian, and #Latino #authors on #bookstore or #library shelves. Creating a world where every reader can see themselves in a #book can “promote #literacy, build empathy, and reduce bias,” according to the group’s website.” #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi

Robbie Norlyn, Author 👾 (robertnorlyn@mstdn.social)'s status on Saturday, 02-Dec-2023 13:02:53 JST Robbie Norlyn, Author 👾 I’m feeling like migrating to a new instance. I need to get away from some pretty toxic political content some have been pushing really hard lately. I’m a bit more interested in creative content and interaction.
I follow hashtags but my feed is just flooded with stuff I need away from.
What is not only a “good” instance but “great” instance for authors and writers? Fair warning, I may just decide that self hosting is the way to go.

Yohan Yuki Xieㆍ사요한・謝雪矢 (youronlyone@c.im)'s status on Tuesday, 05-Sep-2023 23:18:59 JST Yohan Yuki Xieㆍ사요한・謝雪矢 Q: If the #Fediverse allows different platforms / software / services to interoperate, then why have multiple accounts everywhere?
A: Features.
Example:
I have a #Firefish account at @youronlyone@firefish.socialI also have a #Mastodon account at @youronlyone
There is also my #Pixelfed account at @youronlyone@pixelfed.social
Let's not forget my #Bookwyrm account at @youronlyone@bookwyrm.social
While the above examples can be used for images, Pixelfed was built for, well, images. It was made to cater for uploading photos ah sharing your digital artworks.
Meanwhile, Bookwyrm is best for, can you guess it? #Books! It features bookshelves where you can categorise your collection. You can also track your reading. Leave reviews. #Authors can too, if they want.
It's no different to comparing the old #Twitter vs #Facebook vs #Instagram vs #Goodreads. All of it can host photos and albums, but Instagram is focused on sharing images. Twitter for #microblogging. Facebook for socialising (or ads). Goodreads for books and reviews.
The difference? The latter are disconnected. While the former, the fediverse, are interoperable.
Remember, you don't have to create multiple accounts. Keep one firefish or Mastodon or #Streams or #Friendica or #Hubzilla account, you can still connect to users using Pixelfed, #Rebased, #Pleroma, #PeerTube, #Misskey, and, if they will ever launch #ActivityPub support as they told us, #Tumblr and #Flickr.

Albert ARIBAUD ✎ (aaribaud@mastodon.art)'s status on Monday, 28-Aug-2023 04:15:23 JST Albert ARIBAUD ✎ That one's easy: my favorite martian tale, of the ones I've written, is the *only* Martian tale I've written, one year ago, for last year's #RaysDay -- though, to be honest and true to Ray's own statement, it's #Fantasy, not #ScienceFiction:
