Mastodon is more than the Gmbh. The fediverse is bigger than Mastodon. There are already popular community server and client forks of Mastodon. The 501c3 board in the US isn't a bad thing. ActivityPub is a w3c governed spec, and there isn't nearly the same level of scrutiny around w3c's board, because it hasn't been an issue. All that to say, I'm not at all concerned about this.
My apologies to the Slashdotted admin.
"Please don't share our content because of server load" sounds an awful lot like an admin/config problem.
Also sounds a lot like a plea for a centralized link preview farm.
Oh no the server is Melton, @lisamelton

Anyone venturing into this solution space?
🔉🎙️I’ve got about 10% of my X following in numbers here, who’s interested in EV related podcasting? #podcast #climate #electricvehicle . Please boost! #mastodon
If I can ask for a boost @lisamelton
In the latest episode of #DotSocial I interview @snarfed.org, a passionate bridge builder with a focus on connecting people across the open web and the #fediverse. His latest work, #BridgyFed, connects #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol resulting in excitement, critique and *lots* of discussion.
Ryan and I talk about the parallel communities on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, their shared desire to create an open social web and the pros and cons of their underlying protocols, #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol. Can or should these be bridged? If so, how? As whole new communities continue to join the fediverse, how should the user experience evolve?
Listen to this excellent discussion on our @PeerTube instance or wherever you get your #podcasts.

These unofficial Mastodon accounts of space agencies are bots that merely share news items the agencies publish elsewhere, yet the accounts have quite a lot of followers:
- NASA: @nasa 71K followers
- ESA: @esa 1.4K followers
There's an unfulfilled demand for public institutions to communicate on open and independent platforms.

🎂 Congrats @microformats.org on 20 years! #microformats20
Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #microformats:
* @artlung.com: "WML, WAP, & Microformats Demo!" (https://lab.artlung.com/wml/faux)
> Because WML elements may have the class attribute
Originally posted 2025-06-18: https://xoxo.zone/@artlung/114705990062730513
That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:
* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4
* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml
Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.
In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.
Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.
After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.
More microformats 20th anniversary posts from the #indieweb personal sites (via https://stream.indieweb.org/)
* @manton.org: "It’s the 20th anniversary of the launch of microforrmats.org!" (https://www.manton.org/2025/06/20/its-the-th-anniversary-of.html)
* ... hashtag your post #microformats or #microformats20 and #federate (using #Mastodon or any compatible #fediverse server etc.) or webmention this post!

Ückück und das Fediverse - meine neue Kolumne bei @gnulinux
Ein neues Projekt steht an und ich freue mich sehr. Ab diesem Monat werde ich regelmäßig für GNU/Linux.ch über das Fediverse schreiben, mal spezielle Projekte vorstellen, mal von Veranstaltungen berichten, mal einen Blick auf die Meta-Ebene vagen - es gibt jedenfalls genug zu berichten, dass ich eine Weile beschäftigt bin :D
Mehr dazu erfahrt ihr in diesem Ankündigungs-Artikel der Redaktion:
https://gnulinux.ch/wzs-ueckueck-und-das-fediverse
Die Kolumne wird ab dem 6. Mai 2024 an jedem 1. Montag im Monat erscheinen.

“Nobody’s on Mastodon, it’s dying” sir my mama’s pretty quilt can get 300 likes and a bajillion boosts on here in no time with no algorithm I think Mastodon is doing JUST FINE #mastodon #JohnMastodon
little #mastodon protip: due to how posts federate there's no guarantee someone will see a link/video preview when they see your post, especially on small servers. this means that you'll probably want to add some kind of relevant description in the post where you're posting the link, like repeating the headline or quoting a relevant excerpt
🚨 Please, Help: Need Remote Work!
It happens in cycles & is happening again. Despite 11 books to my name & 25 years varied work experience: United Nations, HBO, Pearson, etc
If you know of any creative, meaningful work—communications, copywriting, even marketing—kindly, reach out🙏🏼

Es ist wieder soweit! 
Mastodon Sprechstunde
am Donnerstag 23.05.2024, 19:30 Uhr!
Du bist #neu #neuhier auf Mastodon? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einstellen, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Schwerpunkt der Sprechstunde wird der Umzug des Kontos zu einer anderen Instanz sein.
Eingeladen sind ebenfalls alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon haben und gern ihr Wissen weitergeben wollen.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse und auf Mastodon könnte anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, insbesondere denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse zu gestalten.
Der Link zur Veranstaltung wird dann hier und in meinem Profil 1 Tag vor Beginn gepostet.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Das Online-Treffen wird auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server stattfinden. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome –, ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Die Sprechstunde läuft ungefähr so ab. Am Anfang geben alle Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Beginner. Später geht es um Tipps und Hinweise für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. So ein Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Es wird nicht ausschließlich um Mastodon gehen. Die Welt von Fediverse ist weitaus größer. Mehr miteinander, als gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen umso besser!

Man, we are so fucked
"Company cuts costs by replacing 60-strong writing team with #AI"
#Mastodon is feeling less like a refreshing bastion free of #plutocrat manipulation, and more like the last refuge of the free, sane...
and real
I know mastodon.social updated their terms that all AI has to be labeled as such
I propose an update:
No AI allowed on the #fediverse *at all*
Fuck this soul destroying shit

OK, this is getting serious. I am only following 218 accounts, and I'm now up to 202 followers.
I need some new cool people to follow so my follower count does not surpass my followee count.
Tell me about your coolest accounts on #Mastodon for me to follow, stat! (English, French, or Esperanto, only.)
This is not a drill!
I'd like to remind all Mastodon users that you can add a language filter to any follow relationship on Mastodon.
If you follow me and you don't speak German, you can easily remove my German posts from your timeline by adjusting the language settings.
Go to my profile page, select the dot menu and click "Change subscribed languages". Then select the languages that you speak.
This really is a hidden gem 💎 on Mastodon and not many people seem to know this feature

Heya folks!
IT FIRST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH!! 🦄🦓🌈🌌
Beware of those companies & organizations that put out wishy washy messages about 'Love' this month!
It sounds cute, right?
What's actually happening:
Companies are more concerned about their image, your money, and not offending queerphobes. They're not interested in queer folks at all! 😃
Pride is about queer voices. Full stop.
This BS happens EVERY YEAR. Support queer orgs and creators instead! <3
