Part of #FOSS and #Fediverse advocacy involves bringing awareness to those who have already adopted an #open_source and #DeSoc mindset to the rich flora and fauna available to everyone.
Did you know that #FunkWhale is a streaming music and audio Fediverse server platform that you can join an instance of, or self-host like any other?
Here's a new podcast covering our space:

Yes. Rather amazing. Perhaps it was just an acknowledgement that patching it was far behind their capability in any sort of realistic timeframe? -

And there's more!
It all came crashing down...

I found this particularly astonishing, not so much due to the end result, but moreso the empathy to commit to humanity's base instincts to render help.

More clarification and review material by my friend Danie on the amazingly practical #Keyoxide.
#Danie publishes one of the very best FOSS Tech blogs on the Internet and his video product review drill downs are unparalleled in their in-depth coverage and cookbook style instructional aspects - not only to you come away with a good sense of the products suitability and viability for your particular needs and applications, but also a basic understanding of onboarding and studio usage of these FOSS projects did you can hit the groundv running, after being introduced to the basics.

We even use and leverage the utility of #Keyoxide with our release signing at #Forgejo, the git forge with a solemn commitment to remaining completely free and maintained exclusively with FOSS infrastructure and tools in the Fediverse for FOSS Advocates and users alike - you'll NEVER SEE a link to a Google Doc or ANY proprietary, #privacy_disrespecting in ANY of our discussions , links, #infra, or resources - literally every single thing the #Forgejo community does occurs ONLY with FOSS based software and #infrastructure.... period!!!
And mostly, exclusively with #Fediverse and other #FOSS_Centic DeSoc spsces
There has been perhaps, never a more mainstream, FOSS based project (other than the #GPL'd v2 only #CopyLeft Linux kernel) that has reached out in support of users in a truly free and open source world view...
No special #Enterprise versions with paid subscriptions like other platforms such as
#GitLab or #gitea with the whole principle of #fealty add #subjugation as the user, as a #vassal to the #lords of corporate #surveillance and subjugation, but moreover, ANY freaking measure of #disrespect for your personal or #professional_privacy as a user, contributer or #maintainer of software that is truly free of #Privacy_disrespecting technologies so prevalent in the space of the #deprecated, #legacy #monolithic_silos.

If you pick the wrong mods, you end up with more than just egg on your face.
This deserves perhaps a post covering recent events leading up to start many are perceiving as authoritarian practices with respects to Eugen's personal #Fediverse server instances, and the complete misconceptions and falsehoods that the #twitugee phenomenon is coming to realize...
Not to mention bold faced lies by the "mastodon" branded subsector community itself.
Stay tuned... More to follow in a separate and refreshingly honest post ?

Thank you!
I think one of the most positive impacts we can have in on people is to get away from thinking that there platform is place itself, and get them thinking about how river m whichever platform they start off with is just their client vehicle into this #Fediverse that they share and interact with the millions of other people just like themselves
We also, I think, need to point then in the direction of those resources.
For you and I, it might be so obvious that we can't see that from their eyes, it's kind of big overwhelming jungle with all these new worlds and people that are a little impatient with them lolz.
But seeing how they're all, like, "OMG this is so kewl, I can hardly wait to tagged the training wheels of this bike", gives us some measure of satisfaction that we've built this thing for them where they can be free from the clutches of those evil data farming silos.

No problem, happy to help ?
First, one needs to get the word "Mastodon" it of their head and vocabulary, except when specifically referring to the server platform itself.
In other words, this isn't mastodon, and in the grand picture, you're not in mastodon - you're in the #Fediverse, and mastodon is but a small part of the Fediverse, which is powered by dozens of types of Fediverse servers running the #ActivityPub protocol to engage with millions of people just like yourself.
In a very small and limited view, sure, if your account is on a mastodon server you might say you're a mastodonian, or whatever these n00bs coming from #Twatter are trying to brand themselves as.
But that's a very simple minded perspective, because they're actually #Fedizens - members of the Fediverse. And mastodon is very limited anyway in what it can do for account holders on that platform. You can't make posts larger than a paltry 500 characters. You can't make "local only" posts. There's no chat. You can't post in markdown, BBCode, it's HTML (even Myspace could do that). There's no groups, and it is purposely missing several other key components by design, like articles, to say the least (you can only do notes) that other ActivityPub powered Fediverse platforms empower you with.
The are a couple of mastodon forks that were born out of extreme frustration that have implemented some of those things (I note that you use a fork of Blender, so you're familiar with forks). Some of those forks are well maintained, some are crappy hacks, and some are abandoned altogether. You can look around if you like.
So perhaps one of them most important distinctions is that you created an account on a mastodon instance, but you "Joined" the Fediverse. Just by virtue of you being able to see all of this traffic across the Fediverse demonstrates how limited in scope your ability to to interact on that level actually is. Mastodon is fine for #shitposting or posting one or two small paragraphs of plain text with a link or picture, but IMNSHO that's about it. You can't do a Fediverse search on hashtags (only local in your stream), and it's rather slow resolving searches for Fediverse users compared to dinner other platforms, although those last couple of items are rather trivial for most people.
One more thing: Mastodon doesn't call them toots anymore. There current version (v4 0.1) correctly refers to them as "posts", and the toot button had been replaced with a "Publish" button...
Because that's what you're doing - Posting a 'note' to the Fediverse (remember, mastodon only publishes notes, and not articles or anything else. You've probably also noticed by now that the search utility for users is also hidden in the latest release - you have to click on the hashtag symbol and then there's still not indication that you can search for users that you may want to follow or read the posts of...
But you can, just start by entering the "@" sign. The user search will appear eventually after you enter the address for a user ?
Just focusing on that annoying 500 character limit, your can either join, self-host, or pay a fully managed hosting provider to deploy your own Fediverse server. The first three links in that post of mine that you referred to offer you the ability to do just that (5000 character limits out of the box and adjustable if you want more), and in that order.
Aside from those first three links in my previous post, you can also get a hugely more robust and polished interface with many capabilities rivaling that if some the most popular and traditional social networking platforms that people are used to in that old deprecated, privacy disrespecting, legacy monolithic silo space (i.e., #Faceplant).
The Friendica link is s good one to pick for that robust environment.
#Mitra offers you publishing focussed blogging of news and article authoring that effectively replaces #Medium and #Subststsack - people anywhere in the Fediverse (even mastodon) can subscribe and your work is monitized!
#Quanta is extremely powerful as a business class Fediverse server. Here's a video series that showcases Quanta's immense capabilities - even publishing web pages and collaborative document management:
https://invidious.snopyta.org/playlist?list=PLQD3WR1NH3Ko-iQUx7gdb5aI83maeM4Va&local=true
On all of the platforms I've just mentioned, aside from advanced features, you can still just send and receive #shitposts or short messages just like with mastodon. You lose nothing, but gain so many more features.
Well, I invite you to checkout many if them other types of Fediverse server platforms and try a few out - it costs you nothing to join an instance and learn about it.
I hope that helps!
