fediverse
I have been on the #Fediverse since 1 November 2019 and have not missed a single day
At least posting twice a day but often a lot more
I feel I have the responsibility to check at least multiple times a day, not my account but the instances in general
It’s a habit 
Join us for #NHAMFest26
Check out the artist lineup (so far) over here:
ALL DAY(s) live streaming event where we hop (raid style) from one artist to the next and enjoy human made music, original animation, arts, and even a software talk about #Owncast itself!
Still openings for artists of all kinds including original animation.
Celebrating Creative Humans And Friendly Hangouts

They say “there is no algorithm on Fedi” but it keep showing me cute critters and cool peoples in my TL whatever I do. 
There now is a poll plugin for #WordPress that has full #Fediverse support.
Since a few minutes it is finally officially available on WordPress.org.

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for support the initial development of this piece of software. And thanks to @pfefferle for his ongoing work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin @activitypub.blog !
I am happy to receive reviews and am ready to fix stuff in case issues should arise!

Keeping the #Fediverse running is a community effort 💪 And we do this with much love 
Want an update on the Weekend at Bernie’s clown show that is W Social? No? Me neither, but here we are…
So before we start, let’s recount the whole dystopian raison d’être of these Davosian clowns: to be a EU®opean “alternative to X” that – cue the 1984 theme tune – verifies your identity to ensure that only “real people” are on it (real is what your government says it is).
Now, let’s fast forward to last week, when TikTok set up an account on W Social.
That’s nice, isn’t it? One surveillance capitalist lending their support to another? Kumbaya and all that. The only problem? (spoiler alert), it wasn’t TikTok. (Shocking, I know.)
The account, Identity Verified™ by EU X – sorry, W Social, was a spam account and immediately labelled as such by BlueSky moderators. (Don’t you love a “decentralised” system where a post on an EU server, accessed from another EU server, is moderated by our benevolent Big Brother in Trumpland, by the way? I know it just warms the cockles of my heart. So much sovereignty! But I digress…)
So @_elena calls them out (someone has to while @EUCommission is busy preparing for their honeymoon after expressing their undying devotion to W Social recently on every social platform¹):
https://mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mqob7shxks2t
Anna Zeiter – W CEO, Stanford’s own, and ex-eBay executive (such sovereignty) – replies with this absolute zinger:
> “We are just verifying if some [sic] is a human and at least 18 years old. Users are then free to choose their own user name. This (human) user apparently chose the name TikTok.“ (https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z)
Read that as many times as you like until it really sinks in.
These incompetent clowns (dangerous competent clowns but incompetent clowns nevertheless) make people go through a ridiculous 13-step identity verification stage² and then… umm… you get to choose whatever identity you want.
🤡🤡🤡
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re incompetent. It would be worse if they were competent, given they’re a closed-source venture-capital-funded startup determined to prove your identity.
> “Yes we have a business model, it’s not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money.” – Anna Zeiter³
But, what I want to know is this: Why has @EUCommission embraced a proprietary, closed-source, corporate ghost town with 14,300 accounts, 90% of which have not posted even once (in other words, with only 1,259 accounts that have ever posted)⁴ when there is a thriving non-corporate fediverse with millions of active people on it.
Could it have anything to do with identity verification, surveillance, and control?
And if so, why can’t they even get that right?
Looking forward to seeing how long @EUCommission can drag the corpse of W Social around before people realise it’s dead.
Oh, and how does this make the whole “European alternatives” thing look? Not good. Not because there aren’t excellent European alternatives but because the folks at the commission are either too clueless or too corrupt to recognise and support them.
So, yeah, how’s your Monday going?

I need this met yesterday, so I can stop worrying whether I can stay alive and about electricity and water for the rest of the month, which is only 9 days left. And then the anxiety resets for the new month, a new set of bills. I'm too disabled for capitalist jobs and my government hates disabled people.
Please help however you can. If boosting is all you can do to help, then please do.

I wanna move my PeerTube Channels over from MakerTube what should I do?
I have a few PeerTube channels on @MakerTube
The goal was always it to be a temporary home for my YouTube content. The time has come to help MakerTube by moving my content away from there system's freeing up storage space and not costing them a monthly price for hosting.
I've got a few options;
Option 1 -- I upload all channels content to this account. Making it a mix of gaming, vlogging and general posts I've done across video content.
Option 2 -- I create new accounts on solent.social where I upload these bits of content allowing me to boost it with my main account as a 'go check it out' system. (I'm questioning how I'd name them as I currently run two channels of "SamXavia" for vlogging / motorvlogging content and "SamXaviaGaming" for gaming content, but I could rather simplify this name or keep it the same as my main on here is Sam)
Option 3 -- I take more time and start up my own PeerTube instance to make sure that the content gets put onto PeerTube along with the rest of the Fediverse instead of where microblogging systems post to. This option doesn't give much benefit to me other than spending more money from what I can see but I might be missing something.
So help me, what do you think I should do? They are all okay options and have there benefits, but I do really want to make sure my content is out here on the Fediverse and it is better to have proper control / ownership of it.

People are giving up too easily. Indieweb protocols are both simple and beautiful. They are for techies right now, but we have to keep pushing to make them more widely accessible.
Hej, I'm Florian, or Flo for short (only my family calls me with my full name).
Born 1977 as a gay person, and raised near Lake Constance in the south of Germany.
After my parents got a divorce and my father met another woman, we moved to Dresden, when I was 15.
Lived here until I started my apprenticeship in 2000 in Lindau (Lake Constance), so moved back again.
After being self-employed (ebay seller and creating simple websites), which unfortunately wasn't sustainable, I took a job in the security branch, however only got contracts for one year (three times), until I moved back to Dresden in 2010 and lived here ever since.
Since 2018 I have a dog, which you can see in my header picture, when we took a walk along the river Elbe.
Currently unemployed (since May '24), IT-support (thanks "AI", which overtook my profession, I guess).
Interested in too many things, like minimalism, barefoot shoes, cycling, music, interior design, and much more.
Edit: I love languages, especially constructed ones, like Esperanto, Lingwa de Planeta, Mini Linga, started to learn Swedish, Italian, Welsh, however didn't stick to neither of them.
I was a twitter "power user", from 2009-2022.
Created my first account in the fediverse on mastodon.social in 2018, however only used it sporadically.
Since the end of 2022, I exclusively use the fediverse and experienced different network software (mastodon, akkoma, pixelfed, and now littlefedi).
That's it as an introduction for now 😀
PS: English is my first foreign language, so please bear with me in case of errors.

I am part of the ieji.de instance using a forked android app called Moshidon to access it.
You may belong to another such instance using a different app to access it.
Our instances can communicate with each other, but others may not based on their their scope and level of privacy.
Together, you and I belong to the independent and completely decentralised network known as Fediverse.
This is not Facebook. This is not Twitter. No one can own the Fediverse. You can build new instances and new platforms, or you can be a member or just a spectator. The choice is yours.

Can anyone recommend a #PeerTube instance for a #wildlife & #nature video channel I'd like to set up for a local non-profit.
I've had a look at https://joinpeertube.org/instances Local.Earth doesn't seem to be working any more, and I can't really find anything after a couple of hours of looking
Boosts welcomed, thank you! 🙏
#OpenSource #FreeSoftware #Fediverse
EDIT
I've decided to go with hosting our own PeerTube instance, focussed initially on video hosting our partner's video work -- huge thank you to @beartrix for recommendation for Weingärtner IT. Wish me luck!
