gnusocial.net, un servidor #GNUSocial dels més veterans del fedivers, tanca el proper 31 de desembre. Una feina excel·lent dels seus administradors durant tots aquests anys que mereixen tot el reconeixement. Gràcies! 👏
Mi querido @administrator con mucha tristeza, ya abrí otra cuenta en Mastodont. @revu@xarxa.cloud .Ha sido este nodo, porque @t3rr0rz0n3 y @spectrumgirl insistieron, en que querían ser mis SYSADMIN. Ojo que yo avise, no soy una usuaria fácil jejejej. Preferí no engañarles, son amigas:))) Pero quiero que sepas, que #gnusocial siempre será mi patio de vecinas virtual. Donde aprendí, crecí, conspire, soñe..... No sé donde nos llevara la nueva etapa, pero te agradezco los últimos años que nos has regalado. Tengo que nombrar a @puppetmaster por supuesto en la de este nodo:) Gracias a todas las vecinas de @elbinario para no dejarme a nadie, mando un abrazo a la comunidad. A las que fueron, las que son y las que serán. De momento, solo abrí la cuenta, para seguir viendo el patio de vecines. No sé si publicaré:)))
@devil I think if #gnuSocial is presenting people's fediverse activity to the web in ways that allows it to be indexed by major search engines like Google and without honouring the privacy settings those fediverse users have specified, in a way no other fediverse instances seem to be doing, that's something that could use being addressed.
@Expert Plus 🍀 The only 3 social media that are currently surviving as Twitter alternatives are Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads. GNU social? Pleroma? Akkoma? Misskey? Firefish? Iceshrimp? Sharkey? Catodon? Meisskey? Tanukey? Just to name a few?
They're all part of the Fediverse. They're all connected to Mastodon. And they're micro-blogging projects, just like Mastodon.
Mastodon is not the Fediverse. The Fediverse is not only Mastodon.
Anyone know why this is showing up as a top google search result for my #fediverse handle when my profile is set not to be shown in search engines? Does #gnuSocial just ignore that?
I've written a bit of an extensive guide on navigating ActivityPub and its many apps, and instances, along with some initial questions new users might have, and links to mobile apps.
If you haven't heard, sadly, #ChirpSocial, one of the popular #ActivityPub “groups” platform, is shutting down “probably” on February 29th.
In an email they sent to admins, the owner and developer can no longer support https://chirp.social financially as they failed to find a new job after they were laid off by #Google last year.
This reminds us the importance of having a built-in groups feature, and one where the groups feature actually federates.
Back in 2008, when the #Fediverse was born, we did have a built-in federated groups in #Laconica / #StatusNet (today known as #GNUsocial). We used bang (!) instead of at (@). A built-in groups feature is more stable as established instances can host them.
Today, we have #Friendica and #Hubzilla (as well as #Streams-based instances) to fill in that, as groups is a built-in feature in those software products. It's just a matter of finding an instance that's open to hosting groups for any topic for the ActivityPub protocol.
That said, any Friendica, Hubzilla, Streams-based instances you suggest for groups?
