If you just left Bluesky today to join or come back to Mastodon, welcome (back)!

We are glad you are here with us

#Bluesky #Mastodon #Fediverse

I made a Pixelfed account on Pixelfed.social

Gonna play with it a little, and see if it makes me easy and comfortable to post photos. I do take a lot of pictures!!

Here it is! Give me a follow from either your mastodon account or Pixelfed if you have one!

Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:

Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:

"What is an instance, anyways?"

What is your go-to answer?

The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?

What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?

Mastodon.Radio is a Mastodon server for radio enthusiasts including the Amateur (Ham) Radio community, anyone interested in Shortwave Listening (SWL), etc. Come join us and talk radio, technology, and more!

https://mastodon.radio

You can find out more at https://mastodon.radio/about or contact the admin account @M0YNG

It’s amazing how quickly Pixelfed has gained traction over the last few days.
Even more incredible that given the numbers signing up, @dansup has pretty much managed to keep it going (barring the odd, small, hiccups).

Thanks Dan, and @pixelfed for giving us the alternative to something else!

If you fancy slinging them a few quid/bucks to show your support, you can do that here:

I was really excited for the #Fediverse in 2024 and I think that feeling has borne out. Projects have released or started in earnest but so did the influenze of facebook, a long-term genocide and queer violence supporter who have this week changed their terms to expressly permit queerphobic and other vicious harms.

Bin auch hier, um paar Gedanken aufzuschreiben. #fediverse

The #US has "Truth Social" (build on Mastodon code) kinda as it's "official social media"

And #Europe has it's own #Mastodon instance in the #Fediverse

I know what I'd prefer!

🦩🍸Martini and Mingo 🍸🦩 A tropical vibe with a little bit of whimsy. Happy Tuesday. 😊 https://1-lisas-baker.pixels.com/featured/martini-and-mingo-lisa-s-baker.html

Sou apenas um jovem estudante de Ciência da Computação, entusiasta de Linux, nerd e metaleiro. Gosto bastante de filmes de comédia, ação, thriller e desenhos com humor duvidoso. Amo minha namorada, solos de guitarra e estudar novas tecnologias.

#apresentacao #introducao #nerdCommunity #fediverse

Let me explain:
I have two accounts on the #fediverse

1. This one: @shojiwax On which I post links to my website articles PLUS a general stream of consciousness remarks links, boosts and comments.

2. https://mastodon.au/@shojiwax.com@shojiwax.com this is a direct feed from my website and includes full text of my writings. Sorta like subscribing to my #blog’s RSS feed.

Sind sie reif für das #Fediverse ?

Sie probieren doch sonst jeden Scheiß aus, ob Youtube, Facebook oder WhatsApp.

Dann probieren sie doch einfach auch mal #pixelFed oder #peerTube oder #Mastodon oder #Friendica oder ...

I just want to take a moment to call out one particularly great contributor to the Fediverse, @dansup (aka @dansup@mastodon.social) and just say that Pixelfed and Loops are just great. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are!

If you want to know about Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org) or Loops (https://loops.video) check out their respective websites and send your props to Dan!

Interested in the #Fediverse and #SocialWeb but can't be at #FOSDEM? All the talks are livestreaming at https://live.fosdem.org/watch/h2215, come watch!

Carta aberta do #pixelfed para o Zuck da #meta.

O que acharam??

”Querido Mark, espero que isso te encontre bem. Eu notei algo interessante hoje - parece que o Instagram está bloqueando links para o meu pequeno projeto de código aberto. Você sabe, aquele que permite que as pessoas compartilhem fotos sem coletar seus dados pessoais ou forçar feeds algorítmicos nelas. Tenho que admitir, estou lisonjeado. Quem diria que uma pequena equipe de voluntários poderia construir algo que chamasse sua atenção? Estamos apenas tentando dar às pessoas uma escolha sobre como elas compartilham suas memórias online. Sem VCs, sem capitalismo de vigilância, apenas código e comunidade. Lembra quando o #Facebook começou? Era sobre conectar pessoas, não maximizar métricas de engajamento. Nosso projeto pode ser pequeno em comparação com o Instagram, mas estamos nos mantendo fiéis a esse espírito original das mídias sociais - dando às pessoas controle sobre sua presença on-line sem transformá-las em produtos. Você poderia ter nos ignorado. Em vez disso, ao bloquear nossos links, você nos deu o melhor endosso que poderíamos pedir. Você confirmou o que temos dito o tempo todo - que a grande tecnologia está mais interessada em proteger seus jardins murados do que em promover a inovação genuína. Toda vez que você bloqueia um link para nossa plataforma, você lembra às pessoas por que o construímos em primeiro lugar. Sua ação diz a eles que existem alternativas que valem a pena explorar, aquelas que respeitam sua privacidade e agência. Muito obrigado, Mark. Você transformou nosso pequeno projeto em um símbolo de resistência contra monopólios digitais."

The theme of 2025 seems to be #cybertruck with something awful happening in the photo:
