I finally added an oft-requested feature to https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ , my project to track statistics for the #fediverse and other Internet infrastructure. it now includes history for the Shannon Index, showing how decentralization has evolved over the time I've been collecting data.
象吾已经将 Mastodon 升级到 4.6.0 啦 🦣🎉
这次的年度大版本更新带来了多项大家期待已久的新功能，以及焕然一新的界面交互。以下是本次更新的亮点：

2️⃣ 媒体与投票同框：终于来了！现在你可以在同一条嘟文里同时添加媒体附件（图片/视频/音频）和投票，让你的互动形式更加丰富。
3️⃣ 账户合集（Collections）：新增了合集功能！你可以创建包含最多 25 个账户的合集，并将这个精选列表分享给其他人，方便大家互相安利宝藏博主。

Asking the #Fediverse: do you know if there's a #PeerTube channel that will publish the #Fedicon talks?
⚠️ Word is from Admins and Mods, bot farm accounts are becoming a real problem so the advice I'm hearing is, carefully vet new accounts following you and any you might want to follow.
edit: Look below this post--I will add a couple articles about how to spot a bot account
On #Mastodon there are now
420 verified accounts from #news organizations in
21 languages and on
121 instances.
237 were active today.
Some accounts, that were active today are
@gpspmagazin (GER)
@apfelfunknews (GER)
@watson_news (GER)
@28kanala (BAQ)
@mongabay (ENG)

The one thing I wish #Mastodon and the #Fediverse understood about places like Facebook is the fact the social network itself isn't liked, nor popular, But people *love, love, love, love* private, and let me repeat this, private, groups like the below.
Disability Support and Self-advocacy in HUD, Section 8 & Low-Income Housing
Private group
Not everyone wants to talk to the whole internet. This is something the Fediverse needs to understand if they want to get folk away from big tech or help bring folks over here to the social web.
Discourse is modern forum infrastructure that I really wish would takeoff more. I can follow communities via RSS, but I can’t post or comment without an account.
ActivityPub is great for being open and more social. Don’t forget about forums though!
Where do you find your forums that are not reddit communities?
Check out the blog post on PeerSeek - a fast, privacy-respecting place to browse the federated PeerTube network. There are some details on how personalization works and technical background.

I love the Fediverse so much that @feline tattooed it on my arm 👀😍 ⁂
Following the @EUCommission Tech Sovereignty and Open Source Strategy (and Mastodon’s direct mention within it!) announced this week…
Our team is proud to have signed and contributed to the drafting of the European Social Stack Open Declaration alongside our peers in the #SocialWeb and #Fediverse: @anewsocial, @eurosky.social, @newsmast, Save Social, and @swf.
We are a movement, and stronger together.
Read the declaration, add your signature, and share: https://european.social/
Visibility still feels like the weak spot on PeerTube, so I built PeerSeek, my own search index, live at https://peerseek.video
Results are ranked how I think they should be and there is still a lot of work to be done. Please try it out and give me some feedback, or let me know if it's useful in any way.

If instance admins allow AI Agents on their platform and they keep harassing us I have no other choice then to silence that instance
Again, I do not pay these massive costs each month to host robots
Let's keep the #Fediverse human shall we? 
Some of you have been asking why the #EU digital policy account isn't on the #Fediverse..
Well, today they are! Go follow the official #DigitalEU account: @digitaleu for updates about #OpenSource, #Tech and #DigitalSovereignty, and much more!
Today is a good day for the open source community. Stay tuned for more announcements.
FediCon 2026 website is now live, thanks to @reiver for organizing this!
In addition to platforms like Mastodon & PeerTube, we are exploring whether we can also use an #OpenSource platform for newsletters.
We are looking for something privacy-friendly, self-hostable and sustainable over the long term. Right now, Keila and Listmonk are on our list.
Have you used (either of) them or other alternatives? We'd love to hear about your experience: what worked well, what didn't and which one you'd recommend? Thanks!
*Update: PeerTube not Pixelfed
This is slop, slopware, but there are no active forks of Pinafore and even though the original interface has improved greatly using keyboard navigation, I don’t think there will be anything like the clean and elegant and very accessible Pinafore I still have no clue if this maintains the accessibility of its predecessor but it appears to be an active fork of Enafore.
