I prefer #Bluesky’s version of #federation to #Mastodon’s, but either way the ability to switch social media provider without having to start over again is priceless. #SocialMedia
Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”
Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward? In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:
We've got new Dot Social podcast episodes coming with fediverse leaders, starting with @mike's conversation with Meta's @rklambo and @pcottle, two key people building #Threads. That one releases on Monday, followed by episodes with @snarfed.org and @molly0xfff. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Here's more info:
In honor of Earth Day, here are our #FollowFriday picks for green-living inspiration from the Flipboard community.
Each of these followable feeds, which we call Magazines, is curated by people interested in sustainability.
Following a Magazine feed in the fediverse is like following a profile, but instead of seeing everything the person shares, you can follow just their posts about the topics you care about.
Inspiration for building your backyard oasis and sustainable living tips by the creator of Green Garden Cottage — @home-garden-inspo-GreenGardenGirl Stories about homesteading, nomadic living, off-grid living, and rural living from one of Flipboard's most active curators — @rogue-hermit-society-curiouscurator
In December, we started to federate the accounts of some Flipboard publishers and in February, we introduced Magazines to the fediverse. Now, we’re taking two important steps: federating the accounts of 400 creators and expert curators; and enabling two-way communication so that new followers and fediverse activity are visible and actionable in the Flipboard app.
To learn more about this, take a look at our blogpost:
Thanks so much to everyone who has given feedback on what we’ve done so far. We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey to fully federate Flipboard.
"As Flipboard’s head of creator community, I’m often explaining WTF the fediverse is and trying to convince creators to set up camp there. (Flipboard believes this is the future of social media.)," writes @miaq in the latest edition of our FediCurious newsletter. "If I’m lucky, the person is open to it, able to figure out how to get set up, and gives it a try. But more often than not, I get the digital equivalent of a blank stare and a groan — not another social platform?!" Here's her post about why creators should pay attention to what's happening here, and why the fediverse is not the same as all those other platforms.
I made a few other federation optimizations like sharing the private keys for every local user, and an experimental new protocol transport for real time federation between loops servers
...dem #TechnoFeudalherren nicht passen, filtert man nicht nur die unliebsamen Themen vorab heraus, sondern schöpft sich auch noch das Sahnehäubchen an positiven (traffick generierenden) Antworten ab.
Eigentlich dann nicht nur das Gegenteil sondern die Perversion vom "#Meinungsfreiheit".
Jede Interaktion mit #BigTech#SocialMedia ist eine Chancen/Risiken-Abwägung (Profiling, Werbung,...
"Außerdem sollen Reaktionen später möglich sein und dann aber nur positive (so der Plan)"
Da schrillen bei mir alle Alarmglocken! Orwells 1984 live!
Wenn ich nicht mehr frei in meiner Meinungsäußerung bin bzw. gar nicht mehr "gehört" (gesehen) werden kann, dann verzichte ich dankend auf jedweden Kontakt über #Threads!
Das ist Musk 2.0: anstatt alle zu vertreiben, die...
Hier sind alle Profile von föderierten Publishern in Deutschland, denen Du nun folgen kannst. Verwende einfach die Suche mit dem jeweiligen Publisher-Profil, um ihre Magazine zu finden und eine Liste von allem zu sehen, was sie kuratieren.
Today, we're beginning to federate a selection of publishers based in Germany and the U.K. We've also introduced @FlipboardDE, a new profile for the Mastodon community in Germany. In the first test, we are partnering with 21 publishers to federate their profiles and Magazines. Follow the profile to see all the stories they are posting on Flipboard, or topically curated Magazines to get coverage on specific areas of interest. Here's a blogpost that explains more.
Il n'y a pas moyen d'arrêter proprement une instance PeerTube. Contrairement à Mastodon, il n'y a pas de commande self-destruct permettant d'indiquer aux autres instances que le service est arrêté définitivement.
Rien dans la doc, et ce ticket est toujours ouvert :
FediForum 2024 is almost here! Flipboard CEO @mike catches up with conference co-organizer and Dazzle Labs CEO @J12t to get a taste of top-of-mind topics for fediverse stewards, including how this space can cross the chasm into the mainstream. It’s a new episode of Dot Social, the first podcast about the open social web.
