But, this is the big problem. This is what keeps “normies” away from the Fediverse. It’s not the LGBTQ+ people, it’s not the immigrants trying to establish a voice for themselves online, it’s the “politically neutral” tech-obsessed foss-bros who are so insulated from harm and hatred, that they can’t tell the difference between a guy who would ship you off to prison for being gay, and someone who thinks everyone should have equal rights.

I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, the Fediverse needs to excise people like this as hard as they have this past week, from ActivityPub, entirely. Over and over again. Until they return to Twitter, and we never have to look at their shitty little profile pictures, ever again.

My relay instance for the #Fediverse evolved in a great way - more than 120 instances are already connected to boost your posts across the Fediverse.

If you're running #snac / #snac2, #Mastodon, #Pleroma or any other software on the #ActivityPub protocol that supports relay instances - feel free to join the relay! Hopefully #GoToSocial also supports relay services soon! Of course #IPv6 is supported (for IPV6 only instances).

Alright everyone on #fosstodon, LISTEN UP. @kev and @mike are (presumably) quitting. They've set up an amazing place and built it out into a real community.

Now the question is.. what do we do? I'd really like this server to keep existing. Is anyone interested in continuing Fosstodon with me? :fosstodon:

Wow.. just clicked through the @peertube instances with the most users on @fedidb and it left me a bit confused. It seems that #peertube belongs to a different #fediverse than #mastodon - or are the mastodon instances with right wing/conspiracy content just blocked by this instance and therefore I don't see that content?

Hello, #Mastodon!

I’m Katie Livingstone, an American journalist based in #Ukraine who has been covering the war since 2022. My work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Business Insider, USA Today, Newsweek, ForeignPolicy, Military.com, and several other outlets.

#Christian #mastodon users... it would be good to see us #boost one another's posts more. 🙂 Seems boosting isn't happen as much recently... but that is an essential way to help one another's posts gain traction on here.

For a #WordPress site with no or little budget: What plugins are available to make posts available through #Mastodon, #BlueSky or even #Facebook (non-profit website, lots of older people, like me, in the target), without having to pay monthly subscription fees?

#AskFedi

Is there a category/listing of instances with giant character limits I can point people to? If they want a huge character limit instance such as mine? I tried looking at @FediGarden but they don't have that info/category. #Fediverse #Mastodon #AskFedi

Es lunes #SilentSundayy recién nos estamos asomando a la semana.

Übrigens, #Bluesky war in der Nacht zu Freitag für etwa eine Stunde weitgehend offline.

Nur Nutzerinnen und Nutzer mit eigenem Personal Data Server waren nicht betroffen. Der Vorfall zeigt, dass Bluesky trotz dezentraler Ambitionen stark zentralisiert bleibt. Die Kritik daran wächst, während Plattformen wie #Mastodon echte #Dezentralisierung schon praktizieren.

"No ambiente em formação que é o #Fediverso, duas propostas concorrentes polarizam os interessados: #Mastodon e #Bluesky. Embora ambas aplicações prometam #controle aos usuários, a forma como os serviços foram constituídos contam histórias muito diferentes, o que pode determinar #futuros distintos para seus participantes."

Ainda não entendi por que estamos com algum atraso considerável em atividades recebidas de outros servidores.

Já reiniciei todos os serviços do #Mastodon e deu na mesma. Estou tentando descobrir algo nos registros, mas... :nazare_confusa:

One thing I love about #Mastodon which I never saw on other social media (although to be fair I never was very active) is that I stumble over these genuine conversations people are having on my timeline.

It feels like coming into a room full of friends and hearing them talk about their lives and experiences to each other.

I know it’s parasocial, I don’t really know them. But it feels wholesome nonetheless.

Darlings, if you had to make a dramatic entrance at a formal event, what music would play as you arrived? #LwaxanaTroi #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon @allstartrek

Anyone got recommendations for #mastodon/ #fediverse servers which focus on #FOSS but recognise it as inherently political and celebrate the way it intersects with other activist communities?

Context: lots of folks seem to be feeling like #fosstodon has shown it doesn't align with their values, but I don't know where to recommend as an alternative.
