fedi
Can folks on Flipboard.com follow Fedi folks? It's something I always wondered, since they seem to be the biggest platform that has enabled ActivityPub in good faith, unlike Meta😬
Jeśli komuś @IceCubesApp zamulał po aktualizacji do #iOS18Beta, to zachęcam do odinstalowania i zainstalowania -> po tym działa równie płynnie jak wcześniej.
I na szczęście nie wylogowuje ze wszystkich kont. Tylko traci się ustawienia i trzeba je ustawiać od nowa. Ale przynajmniej działa.

I'm sure it's not massively known quite yet, so I'll mention them again:
There's a Fedi scraper on multiple instances that's been here for about 6 months now. It won't go away.
Search for "Awakari" on your instance and block/report every account with the same profile pic, as a data scraper.
I've posted about them 7 or 8 times now because they've made multiple instances to ban evade. Those instances include Awakari.com, Awakari.app, and Indy.rest
The owner is Akurilov@mastodon.social
Just thought I should keep mentioning them for the new users that haven't blocked them yet, as Mastodon Gmbh seems content with allowing them to operate from their instance.
IMPORTANT EDIT: He's also on Flipboard.social!!! akurilov@flipboard.social 😳
random late night sales pitch for Fedi
TL; DR - yes, you are in the right place. and if you're not sure about the server you can change that later
every time there's a new wave of people looking for a home because of the insane fascist baby Space Karen I think back to when I first signed up on the main, original instance. this was March '22.
at the time I was signing up for everything:
counter social
spoutible
mastodon (part of the fediverse. you are here)
and eventually blue sky (when I was "lucky" to "get an invite")
threads was not a thing and by the time it was I had figured out the rest of this post.
anyway.. this seemed a quiet, foreign place.
it felt slow, clunky. maybe stale?
some of the other options seemed quite appealing
it took a while to figure out none of them were truly viable. and this place positively BLOOMS if you put the time in and are patient 🔥
none of them offered what we have here. real federation. real empowerment of the users. real organic interactions. and the people are the best part.
this is the only one that isn't controlled by a central entity - Twitter backer, malign billionaire, super weird VC.. or just some singular (probable) narcissist., who you better not piss off.. or else..
so if you're in this situation my advice is simple:
by all means create some of those other accounts but don't give up on this place just because it seems slow at first. remember you ARE the algorithm. and you won't lose everything because you can migrate.
ask for advice. go slow. build the network you want. you get to keep it!
and welcome to the FEDI 🤩🧀 and.. goodnight 😴
New wave of folks hitting #Fedi - reupping the old #Introduction!
I'm Kit! I'm a political strategist by trade and a #musician / #geek. I'm also a mod here at #HoosierSocial.
I believe all humans deserve and can achieve dignity and grace. I love to meet new folks who share that value.
I post about #politics, #election policy, #Indiana, #inlegis, #civilrights #LGBTQ stuff, and other things like #cooking and my family.
Here's a selfie I took @ a Joan Jett concert recently!
