Hey there #fediverse, I’m looking to hire a senior engineer to work with some awesome folks on #Netflix’s build tools & test infrastructure. If you are interested please apply online! (see link in Toot)
My DMs are open if you have any questions about the role or if you want to let me know that you applied.
https://explore.jobs.netflix.net/careers/job/790301668836?utm_source=LinkedIn&domain=netflix.com
Have you seen a 
rainbow pentagon thing on here and wondered what it means?
It's the logo of the Fediverse, the overall network which contains Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, OwnCast and many other platforms that talk to each other using a common standard.
You can download a high quality version of the logo at:
➡️ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg
Technically there can be no official logo on a decentralised network, but this is the most commonly-used logo.
Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?
Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?
Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?
If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:
➡️ @FediGarden
Let me know a little bit about your server in your message, or send a link to your About page 🙂

Dear #Fediverse I have an #ettiquette #BestPractice question.
When followed by what appears to be a bot (no posts, no #InfoToot , nothing that looks like someone who might follow me, or that I would consider worth following), do I: a) ignore or b) block ? I am leaning towards “b”.

Does anyone know of an existing chromium compatible extension that can use Mastodon filter lists and apply them to pages while browsing?
Say I have muted a word, if a page contained that word in a p, heading, etc - the entire associated section/article is just hidden/removed from the DOM?

The time is probably right.
Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together the foundations of an app tailored to my needs.
A lot has changed since then and today we have great alternatives like IceCubes, Mona, Ivory, etc. Each one has strengths and weaknesses though, so I picked up my old project again and kept pushing it forward.
So I’m happy to announce that my app will finally see the light: I’ve been using it for the past few days and, in my spare time, I’m fixing bugs and adding missing features. I’m building it around my own needs, so it doesn’t have to “appeal to everyone”. I wouldn’t call it opinionated, but it’s definitely targeted.
The app will have one key trait: #snac2 support will be a first-class feature, not an incidental one. Many apps, especially on iOS, support snac as a side effect, but the experience is often not optimal. In this case, the choice is deliberate and it strictly follows the Mastodon API support implemented by snac. So snac will work properly (within the limits of the platform, of course).
Among the features already implemented: the app is minimal and lightweight (under 10 MB, including debug code), easy on RAM, and privacy-first (for example it strips EXIF data from media before posting, so the server will never see it). On snac it also cleans up the "Boosted by Aoderelay" messages that appear when using a relay, removes the character limit, and supports posting in Markdown.
I also added support for Apple Intelligence to generate alt text, both for the media I post and for media posted by others that is missing alt text.
Everything is processed locally through Apple APIs and only on supported devices. The results aren't amazing, Apple Intelligence is extremely limited, but in my opinion it's the only privacy-friendly and ethical way to approach it. And of course, you can disable it.
On Mastodon it supports all the main features: lists, quote posts, granular notifications (you can choose what you want for each category), notification grouping, multi-account support, and it works.
It's still missing a few things (block, etc.) and has some bugs, which I’m spotting as I keep using it.
As soon as it's stable enough, I'll invite a few people to test it. I still haven't fully decided how I'll distribute it: an Apple Developer account has a yearly cost, and I hope to reuse it for other projects too. So this app might be paid, with a trial period, but if possible (I still need to check what’s feasible) I'd like it to be free if you connect to one of the BSD Cafe instances, illumos Cafe, or any snac instance, including your own.
I don't know how long it will take before it's ready... but I can already tell you what it will be called.
It already has a name, and it's... MastoBlaster.
This name was chosen for personal reasons, and also because of its similarity to Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder, which even today feels relevant and fitting for the Fediverse.
Stay tuned!

I dream of being able to store my online social presence, identity, and history just as — an (organized) set of static files.
A set that I control.
And, I can (if I want to) host myself. (I.e., I am the "source of truth" / "origin" for my files.)

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.
To people outside the Fediverse.
To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.
To people who recently joined the Fediverse.
And more.
...
What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

"Growing the Open Social Web" was already on my bingo card for 2026. I have my own ideas, but I'm more excited to hear what others have to say.

If we blame misinformation on social media for the trouble in our democracies, then growing the #Fediverse (responsibly) may be our best path forward.
This will be the last #Mastodon post that will be bridged to #Bsky!
Choosing another protocol, okay sure we can work with that. But hosting and even verifying criminal orgs like #ICE is just a spit in the face
Almost everything is PUBLIC on Bsky, It's not a viable decentralized alternative, since hosting it all yourself would bankrupt almost anyone
So if you want to keep following me, please do join the #Fediverse https://mstdn.social/invite/C3pBKk4Y
Or better, host your own!

It's amazing to me how perfectly integrated Threads is into Mastodon, but the vice versa still isn't true. Posts are kept in a separate category on Threads with little to no way to interact.
Did Meta give up on Fedi?

My fosdem talk is up!
I make a case for more platforms to support the ActivityPub client API, and how we should look beyond microblogging for future growth of the ‘verse

Since @everton137 has been awarding Members of the European Parliament who successfully persuade their colleagues to leave X, this idea is being expanded.
Now, this award goes to anyone who sends great emails or takes initiatives that help convince MPs from any European Parliament to leave X. Please, register it somewhere online.
Bonus points if you help them switch to the #Fediverse 😉
Full rules coming soon on the Leave X website.

There we go. #Snac2 up and running with the preferred installation process. Added custom styling to boot. One confusion point with styling is that it does NOT affect the root page (greeting.html) only the profile pages. So I thought I had done something wrong, but finally figured it out.
I saw someone straight out just say "I stopped using search engines because the #Fediverse is far better these days" And, I have to agree. I was looking for an author website and Google just floods the page with their own useless book showcase thing, the one with the tabs that say reviews, description, etc, and then page 1 had nothing but storefront links. Meanwhile, I always find far more interesting stuff in here. It's almost like human beings are bett--- Oh never mind.
