Fediverse

The first few times I saw "+18", I didn't even know what it meant because it was backwards and the threads weren't particularly NSFW.

A collection of usability enhancements for Kbin

For those who aren't aware, Kbin Cafe is a Kbin instance I run. Cross-posting our stance on Threads for visibility....

Having spent a lot of time on Mastodon... There are tons of people there talking about federated and self-hosted services, software freedom, censorship, encryption, tech regulation... A very narrow range of topics directly surrounding the fediverse get a lot of attention....

I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.

Posted this in a small community, curious to know what everyone here thinks....

For example I’m seeing a solarpunk post as #2 on sh.itjust.works but not on any other instance....

And why? Whether it's a comment, a post, a specific community/magazine, an instance, a meme -- whatever. What has stuck with you so far?

Here's my prediction, but I'd like others to contribute their predictions as well. I think it's important that we make ourselves aware of signs before they start showing, and that we have a record to point to if things play out exactly as we predict....

Everyone seems to be pointing to the Microsoft EEE model without explaining how it has changed since the 90s. Here's what it will look like in today's tech climate. (I forgot to mention in this wall of text that there will probably be a name change or two. Especially if there's a major controversy.)...

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

Okay, so right now government agencies, schools, and small business often use Facebook or Twitter for their web presence rather than start their own websites. For a few days there, while Twitter had the login-wall up and was rate-limiting, we had some serious problems wtih Amber Alerts, weather notices, safety notices and other...

Something I don't understand currently about the whole Meta/Threads debacle is why I'm seeing talk about instances which choose to federate with Threads themselves being defederated. I have an account on mastodon.social, one of the instances which has not signed the fedipact, and I've had people from other instances warn me that...

Just wondering

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

ActivityPub, the protocol that powers the fediverse (including Mastodon – same caveats as the first two times, will be used interchangeably, deal with it) is not private. It is not even semi-private. It is a completely public medium and absolutely nothing posted on it, including direct messages, can be seen as even remotely...

Title ^ I'd like to explore Peertube but I don't know where to start.

TLDR: Poor discoverability impedes the threadiverse's growth by making life hard for new users. Here are some suggestions on how discoverability could be improved....

Chaos at Reddit and Twitter have a direct impact on the fediverse. Growth at Lemmy and Kbin. The server database of kolektive.social gets seized by the FBI.
