John Oliver's Last Week Tonight mentions #Mastodon and #PixelFed as alternatives that are "not as desperate to fall in line with trump".

Periodisk påmindelse:
Her på #Mastodon er det DIG der er algoritmen
Det dit engagement der påvirker om andre også får set det indlæg du kiggede på - og måske synes er væsentligt - og ikke som på kommercielle SoMe hvor algoritmerne fremmer indlæg (til gavn for annoncørerne)
Så tag lige og bruge et par sekunder på at overveje og et indlæg skal boostes - inden du scroller videre

Ce petit bout d'interface est vraiment génial sur Phanpy. 
En gros, il apparaît sur tous les pouets où l'auteur ou l'autrice a répondu directement à son propre pouet, ou est la réponse à un de ses propres pouets, créant de facto un thread/fil.
Comme ça, on comprend tout de suite que soit il faut « ouvrir » le pouet pour voir la suite, soit qu'on peut comprendre le contexte avec ce qui a été publié avant.
J'aimerais vraiment voir apparaitre ça sur toutes les interfaces

@trunksapp My contribution to #GlobalSwitchDay? I've just finished the translation to Dutch of the magnificent #trunks for #Mastodon app 😇. So glad to reach the 100% mark this Sunday evening!
▶️ Become a #translator as well! Check out https://crowdin.com/project/trunkssocial. The #Crowdin interface is user-friendly and offers translation suggestions to speed up the process. I spread the translation over multiple weeks. You could also look for a partner in crime 😉.
Happy tooting!

I can't open the official #Mastodon app on iOS; it just crashes. Is anyone having issues?
#Mastodon is getting a new look in our upcoming 5.0 release.
We wrote a bit more about our design process and how we approach community input. If you’re on mastodon.social you will see the new design tomorrow, on Tuesday. We rely on your feedback!
A Crowdsourced Photo Gallery from the Fediverse – the Open Social Web in action
Here are some nice photos from around the fediverse: https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/. That page updates automatically as new photos are posted.
How did they get there? Well…
People from all over Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and more posted photos into these communities:
https://piefed.social/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/japanpics
… and a few others. Moderators curate those communities to filter out anything obnoxious and people upvote the best ones.
Jerry used his PieFed account to create a “Feed” of 6 photography communities at https://feddit.online/f/photos. In PieFed a Feed is a bundle of communities with all their content shown together in a list. Those communities can be on any Lemmy, PieFed or Mbin instance. In the sidebar you can see all the communities in the Feed. That feed can be Followed, just like an account on Mastodon can be.
Someone on https://piefed.social followed ~photos@feddit.online (the ~ distinguishes it from a person, which uses @ at the start) which created this: https://piefed.social/f/photos@feddit.online. (Following a feed automatically subscribes one to all the communities within and if Jerry adds a new community to the feed all the subscribers auto-follow the new community. But I digress).
The author of home.scoobysnack.net looked up PieFed’s API spec and wrote some JavaScript which uses PieFed’s API to retrieve all the photos in the feed on piefed.social:
GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?feed_id=47&limit=40&page=1&nsfw=Exclude&minimum_upvotes=0
… and finally their JavaScript displays the images.
So the journey these photos took went through 6 steps:
Mastodon / PixelFed / author -> Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin communities -> Feddit.online feed -> PieFed.social feed -> PieFed.social API -> home.scoobysnack.net
I think that’s pretty cool.

Periodically, I see people upset that #Bluesky has become the default alternative to #Twitter instead of #Mastodon. So we need to understand why that happened:
- Bluesky simply has a better UI/UX for Twitter users than Mastodon because it basically is Twitter whereas Mastodon is its own thing
- When the Twitter migration happened in November 2022, those who managed to get a Mastodon account found that navigating Mastodon’s unwritten social norms was difficult
- Mastodon already had a pre-existing community, one that clashed with mainstream Twitter – whereas there was no community on Bluesky when Twitter users migrated there
- Certain marginalized groups, such as Black folk, found a hostile environment here, and many who have stayed remain here because they believe in the tech despite the community that exists around it
I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.
That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?
Obviously, to Mastodon.
But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.

⛔️⚠️Every Western Media Network aired some form of Russian invasion anniversary coverage. However, not one of these ‘Mainstream’ networks educated viewers on the Budapest Memorandum, and why the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. are supporting Ukraine to restore its borders outlined in the memorandum’s language. Are Ukraine experts so far down the Trump rabbit hole that they have forgotten what and why Russia is the aggressor and invader in this scenario? #Ukraine #Media #Press #News #Mastodon

Has anyone put together a curated list of #fediverse servers (preferably open source or at least with a public API) that:
- want to be found by the general public (I’m looking for a source of recommendations for a server picker in a client app)
- meet at least some reasonable minimum moderation/reliability standards?
I know #mastodon has joinmastodon.org/servers and pixelfed also has their own curated server list, but is there anything that isn’t software-specific?

Novidade no Mastodon: saiu atualização na versão de testes que torna mais rápida a geração das linhas do tempo.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/33839
Ela trouxe um problema com listas, mas já foi corrigido:
This site, Mastodon.cloud, is not secure. It has been abandoned and is currently running outdated software with a known security vulnerability. Please migrate to an alternative site.
Mastodon.cloud is also being de-federated, meaning it is being disconnected from the rest of the Fediverse. In the future, other Mastodon and Misskey sites will no longer communicate with Mastodon.cloud.
Details concerning this version of Mastodon 4.1.25.
