fediverse

First real study of #Threads-#Fediverse interop at scale. Key bits: Fedi→Threads replies dominate (likely due to current UX on Threads for fedi), surges tied to rollout events, steady growth, & interop didn’t worsen convo tone. Early but encouraging data: https://arxiv.org/html/2502.17926v2

The investigative newsroom I work for, @ProPublica, is raising money right now. We report on abuses of power in the public interest - stories like corruption on the Supreme Court or the police response to the Uvalde school shooting. It was the first outlet to win a Pulitzer for web-first journalism. And if you donate through this link, you'll let our team know that the fediverse is an audience to pay attention to. https://give.propublica.org/give/346528/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=ben_mstdn #journalism #fediverse

#Jabber is the #fediverse of #chat.

👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

How flippin' awesome is that!?

In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.

And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

Giving @Flipboard another spin, since it’s a big supporter of the #Fediverse. It’s also a survivor…I remember covering it on ReadWriteWeb when it launched (or maybe that was a post by @jon?). Either way, here’s my #InternetHistory mag, if you’re a Flipboard user: https://flipboard.com/@ricmac/internet-history-e041t55qz

This is strange: @heiseonline (on #Flipboard) is among the first German #news organizations, that were now federated by @Flipboard.

In the app I see the number of #Fediverse-followers, but when I log into the flipboard-account, I don't see interactions from #Mastodon & Co.

OK, maybe it's just not "really" federated, fair enough. But if I change the URL to sth I know from Mastodon, like https://flipboard.com/directory, the page breaks and I suddenly see fediverse-interactions. What's up there, @mike?

In case you missed it, there is now a Fediverse alternative to Strava called Wanderer:

➡️ https://wanderer.to

There is a public server list at:

➡️ https://wanderer.to/servers

To sign up on a server, click on "Create Account", then "Login", then "Make One".

If you're running your own public Wanderer server you can add it to the list at https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/discussions/361

Techy people can self-host using instructions at https://wanderer.to/run/installation

Então mudei instância faz um bom tempo então está mais que na hora da uma nova #introdução

Sou Baesse, um feliz potiguar morando na terrinha Natal, prof. de desenvolvimento de software no @IFRN, lá coordeno do grupo VETOR com 6 projetos, fundador do @brejatec, líder do @dadosLivres, ativista social, da cultura e software livre e ambientalista na @ASPOAN. No link segue a #apresentação de cada um dos projetos atuais

Gosto de fazer toots com quase uma curadoria de recomendações de #série, #música, #filme. #podcast, #jogos, #youTube além de viver para dar dicas de #tecnologia

Já participei: como líder do @potiLivre (grupo potiguar de #softwareLivre), apresentador do podcast @curadoriaCast, tive um canal no YouTube de variedades (dos meus gostos acima como dicas, séries e tecnologias), Mozillian (voluntário da Mozilla).

Vivendo gostoso com #TDAH e bipolaridade leve Faço terapia não continuamente por muito tempo. Mas fui diagnosticado em 2022. Fica a #dica, se puder e precisar, faça terapia e aproveite a vida

No #fediverso desde 17-out-19. Entrei no #mastodon no .social. Experiência sem graça. Depois na ursal.zone que foi bão demais, foi onde realmente usei e entendi o #fediverse. E agora suave na bolha.one

Curtiu? É só seguir 🖖🤟

Revolutionary idea: What if social media platforms actually let you control your data?

@loops does, with full data exports, retention controls & opt-in analytics.

The future of social is open-source ❤️

(and federated 🚀)

Today, we're beginning to federate a selection of publishers based in Germany and the U.K. We've also introduced @FlipboardDE, a new profile for the Mastodon community in Germany. In the first test, we are partnering with 21 publishers to federate their profiles and Magazines. Follow the profile to see all the stories they are posting on Flipboard, or topically curated Magazines to get coverage on specific areas of interest. Here's a blogpost that explains more.

Zounds, Boston! A #BostonWeekend thread for ya, as the ‘technically still summer, but will I need a jacket?’ microseason continues. Your billionaire-free #Boston calendar stays #fediverse-only and DIY - Please Boost! Mid 80s fri and sat, barely 70 Sun, chance rain. Tons of good shows in town (Seisiún has dropkicks, hold steady, and the pogues; k&d, MCR w/IDLES, Vapors of Morphine, HAIM, Arturo Sandoval, plus Cambridge Carnival, Somerville Greekfest, Fiber Festival, Fermentation Festival, and the 4th Annual Hot Dog 100 Footrace. Trans rights are human rights. LFG. (1/?)

Im letzten Dezember haben wir damit begonnen, Flipboard für das Fediverse zu öffnen. Heute machen wir einen weiteren wichtigen Schritt in diese Richtung, indem wir unsere Testphase ausweiten: Die ersten Publisher aus Deutschland sind nun für das gesamte Fediverse zugänglich.

WARNING: the #fediverse is not immune to #blackface #astroturfing; especially in the age of #AI.

just blocked an AIslopped account literally invoking the same Bernie Sanders grievances of the last 20 years, with a guest apperance of corporatist dems new target, Zohran Mamdani.

the #USApol consultant ecosystem is a special kind of grifting hell. they are sociopaths who don't care about political parties, only how much money they can make wrecking havoc.

block them with prejudice.

I’ve been experiencing a number of symptoms on this account for several weeks, at least.

Outbound toots are delayed by a great deal (~1h). They don’t show up on others’ TLs until long after I’ve posted. I suspect this varies by the other instance. I sometimes get much faster responses from certain users despite a general, overall delay of about an hour.

When there is a reaction or response to a post, I first see it on the Notifications tab in the UI (web or app) & often more or less right away. Then much later (typically an hour or so), a push notification shows up.

I suspect this has something to do with my instance, c.im, though the status page is always green. I wonder if it involves versions of #Mastodon or something (currently 4.4.3 on c.im). I’ve always assumed it would eventually clear up, but no sign of that yet.

So I think before long I may start another account. Idk if I’ll migrate this one or just have a second account. At least, maybe I can prove that the delay doesn’t follow the change of instance. Not sure what else it could be.

So I’ll go digging again, but in case anyone has opinions, any recommendations for new instances? I want to avoid the big, populous ones like mastodon.social. I chose c.im in part for high limits on posts (8 poll options, 5k char limit, etc). I also use the search function extensively. I think it’s not available by default, so not every instance has it. (Not sure if that’s right.)
