“Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty.” And Mastodon was the most common destination if they opened…
I want to get into writing (primarily political), and while I've written some to those, I want to get as far away from centralized social media as I can.
The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.
Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)
The brain drain comes as X has made it increasingly difficult for researchers to use its platform....
As the Fediverse continues to grow, new challenges arise in community management and user safety. A new organization seeks to make it easier.

There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon. I have been enjoying my time there much more than I ever enjoyed Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. And...
Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.
Akkoma is an active fork of Pleroma, which implements ActivityPub protocol underneath and serves an interface similar to microblogging platforms such as Twitter or Tumblr. It implements a complete Mastodon client API, so all Mastodon clients work with it without trouble, even the Mastodon web UI can be installed and used with...
