Currently testing out the new version of #Mammoth as my #Iceshrimp client. So far so good, the #Mastodon #API integration does wonders but I do hope that @mammoth integrates the native API along with other #Fediverse software.

I'm glad that its custom lists don't populate in my list of lists, because that would be poor on their part if a person wanted to move apps.

They might want to try and grab the instance character limit, as I can play with 6000 and not just 500.

However, the whole splitting and threading feature is great. I like that it doesn't mess with the UI and is seamless.

It's much less distracting because of that.

The network effect for #ActivityPub is gaining some serious momentum right now. As more services adopt the protocol, more people, more communities and more content are added to the network making it increasingly more valuable for everyone. This will only accelerate in the coming months as Threads, Wordpress, Tumblr, Flipboard and others federate.

We're still in early innings but there's no way to put this genie back in the bottle. The open social Web / the #Fediverse is going to be huge.

Does decentralization make moderation better or worse? Will the #Fediverse deteriorate as millions more users join? Can tens of thousands of local instance owners do a better job at spotting and combating disinformation than the walled gardens can?

I asked @tchambers these questions and more to get his expert opinion and thoughts. Here's a great clip along with a link to the full conversation on PeerTube.

One of my favorite parts of this interview with @tchambers is when he wraps up with his 2024 predictions for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub including the things he's looking for as this crucial election year plays out. He gives a sweeping and insightful summary of the most important efforts now underway which will bear fruit this year.

Hoy llego a la entrada número 10.000.

¿Qué significa esto?, que de ir de red en red social a lo largo de los años, sólo en Mastodon, me he sentido cómodo y muy a gusto, ya no solamente por publicar, si no por la gente que me he ido encontrando a lo largo de todo este tiempo, siendo una parte del Fediverso.

Muchas gracias a toda la gente que está ahí, que me sigue, que me visita, que comparte y que comenta mis fotografías. 📸

It's GAME DAY! 👏🎉🥳

I'm pleased to announce the launch of the Human Web Collective.

It is a #fediverse social web forum, powered by #PieFed, with the express goal of promoting #ProCraft tools, services, and creators who believe in an ecosystem for the humans, by the humans.

The power lies with we, the people. Rather than simply complain about the bait-and-switch of digital media morphing into the Torment Nexus, let's build our alternative!

Welcome to the Resistance. 😎

You’re going to love this episode of Dot Social with @coachtony CEO of Medium. He says “there’s a huge difference between what someone is willing to read and what someone is happy to have paid to read”

How do you build a system that rewards great writing? How can you scale expert curation so readers can discover that writing in a sea of AI spam? How will the #fediverse enable writers to connect with their ideal audience?

Hear Tony answer these questions and more at:

Building a Mastodon app?
https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK has been designed to handle the quirks of the many different servers across the fediverse. It’s been growing fast to support more APIs and edge cases, so you can focus on building your app instead. Also mirrored on https://codeberg.org/TootSDK/TootSDK 🚀

I’m on the train back to Montreal from New York, where I attended HOPE_16 over the weekend. I wanted to capture some thoughts while they were fresh, even though they might not be fully formed.

HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) is a technology and information security conference sponsored by 2600 Magazine. The SWF had two points of presence at the event this year: I gave an hour-long talk about the Fediverse which was streamed live. We also hosted the Fediverse Village, which turned out to be mostly a booth in the non-profits area of the vendors floor.

We had people streaming by all day long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I had thought the Village was going to be more like a hang-out room, so I was caught off guard on prep, but I put out all the ActivityPub and Social Web Foundation stickers I had, covers for the ActivityPub book, and a stack of CoSocial.ca stickers to boot. But there was a definite stone soup aspect to the village area: people brought by schwag for Fediverse software like WriteFreely, instances like GardenState.social and Masto.nyc, and projects like DWeb.

I’d hoped to have more structured discussions, including a meetup for Fediverse governance and a hackathon. But it turned out to be a lot more loosey-goosey than I expected, and most of the weekend was spent talking to other Fediverse fans, and helping people who came up to the booth to ask about the Fediverse.

I think I expected because of the level of technical expertise that was shown at the event that we’d be speaking to only true believers. But there were many people there who hadn’t heard of the Fediverse, and who were excited to try it out. One thing that struck me that was an advantage for these people over commercial social networks was the option to get out from under the “real names” policies of many platforms. It’s hard to remember that the alternative to the Fediverse that most people are familiar with are services that require a real-looking legal name to be used, and force you to send a scan of a government ID if they’re at all suspicious.

The other thing that struck me was how many people came to the booth saying that they’d registered for a Mastodon account at some point, and were really excited to get it reactivated, but forgot which server it was on and didn’t want to register for another. I think that’s a real pain point for a lot of people — and one we should do better at solving.

I plan to come back to HOPE next year. I’d love to have more schwag for Fediverse software, services, and platforms. I’d like to have a way to get people signed up and onboarded for the Fediverse right at the table. And I’d like to have some more formal get-together events. There are spaces to meet at HOPE if you know how to set it up — I’m going to try to use them better next time.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Fediverse Village, my talk, or just talked to me around the HOPE event. I was energised by the people and the technology that was happening, and I look forward to engaging again.

I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.

It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.

I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

https://spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAEMihej8km

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

Started the first iteration of #snac (#snac2) customizing to match #manpageblog. It took a bite more time than initially expected but @grunfink indeed made some great and clever ideas when creating snac. The function for attributes and tags in his C functions are a great idea and simplify it. I guess, I simply had added them statically... However, a preview is available right here (as said, still not perfect, more to be done soon):
