Was ich an #Mastodon und generell am #Fediversum so liebe, ist der #Dialog 🙏👍
Klar ist die Reichweite vermeintlich geringer & sind viele Linke hier sogar untereinander sehr judgy und intolerant. Als Christdemokrat werde ich hier noch lange als vermeintlicher „Fremdkörper“ von autoritären Mackern angeraunzt werden.
Doch dafür gibt es hier auch Zeit, Raum & Tiefe für echten Austausch & starke Posts wie diesen von @cdonat 👇
Und der Dialog reicht zunehmend auch ins RL. Erst neulich sprach mich ein Lehrer an, der selbst gar keinen Mastodon-Account hat, aber jeden Morgen mein Tässle Kaffee ☕️ hier genießt.
Denn hier ist eben kein Konzern-Silo, alle Posts von mir können frei eingesehen werden.
Mein Dank auch an die Engagierten von @digitalcourage , dank derer ich mir keine Sorgen über willkürliche Löschungen - auch nicht in der Aufklärung über #Antisemitismus & #Dualismus - mehr machen muss! 🙏🙌
Ich fühle mich inzwischen wohl hier & lasse mich nicht vertreiben. 😌 https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/dialog-oder-dualismus-die-wahrheitsfrage-als-charaktertest-und-schicksalsfrage/

I have written a sample letter that you can use to invite organizations to join the #Fediverse.
The letter is shared under a #CC0 license. Feel free to copy, adapt and send it to organizations that still rely on #BigTech.
Thanks to @danie1 for the English translation.

I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.
We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

Been experimenting with a way to browse post replies right within the main feed as a threaded view. You can click on each post or navigate using A or Z to go up and down.
Feedback would be awesome before I get to far down the rabbit hole on making sure it's all wired up.

Every once in a while (a few months maybe?) I pop back here and try to search for something I'm interested in, to see if there's any posts to like, discussion to jump in, or someone cool to follow.
Most of the time, search results nothing. Like today, searching for "crime and punishment" (the book) returns like... less than 10 posts?
It's been 10 years I've been trying to like it here, but it's hard. #mastodon
Does anyone have recommendations for a Mastodon fork that doesn't require visitors to enable JavaScript to view basic content? The JavaScript dependency is a security risk and user hostile. Visitors should not be required to enable JavaScript when simply visiting a Mastodon server. Plus, the recommendation to use a native app doesn't even work for all Mastodon/ActivityPub instances.
Also, the requirement for JavaScript makes the Mastodon development team seem incompetent. They can't even make a basic web site that doesn't require JavaScript. I could do that when I was in middle school.
>To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript. Alternatively, try one of the native apps for Mastodon for your platform.

Please share this post and the one beneath it so I can prove to my fellow indie authors that Mastodon has the spirit and the community I have been telling them about.
They keep resisting coming here but maybe if they can see that you guys love art, whether it is written, drawn, knitted, or carved, they would join the wonderful communities here. (:

Something no one addressed yet: #ATmosphere posts are not indexable by search engines. It should be as it will help increase exposure of the network.
The same can be said with #Fediverse posts. I only see #Threads indexed.

“Look, just fucking use Mastodon already” by @arilin
🔗 https://giants-club.net/articles/just-use-mastodon/
> Who could have predicted Bluesky could ever have run that risk? I mean, apart from everyone warning us that it was launched by weirdo alt-right blockchain-shilling AI-loving shitbird Jack Dorsey, and that their current CEO came from a weirdo alt-right blockchain-shilling AI-loving shitbird background. You know. Besides them.

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".
A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.
If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.
When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?
The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.
They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?
If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.
You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.
So I usually hate sending over bluesky links anywhere since I'm not a fan, but Rob Ricci highlights some important distinctions between #activitypub and #atproto
Fundamentally, activitypub is designed to be useful with a partial view of the network. (Narrowing down to #mastodon here) Likes are communicated, mentions are communicated, and so on.
Over at atproto land, you have no option but to write to your repo, and so you have no choice but to view the entire network to say, find replies and such (narrowing to #bluesky here). So the only way you can get your data is to read the network and filter it yourself, or have someone else do it for you, which doesn't solve the problem, only shift it.
Looking forward to the day #Mastodon gets a native toot scheduling UI so I can tell all my offline friends, dates, and lovers to check my profile at the exact right time, ordering everyone to buy me cookies so I can have an endless stream of cookies arriving at my place. #Fediverse

I've been communicating with a person on the #Mastodon team about some #Accessibility stuff related to #AltText and I am loving their communication style. Confirms everything, so nothing is misunderstood, but not in a defensive way. I wish I could say more, but I am excited for the 5.0 release! I believe the team is shifting to a more community based approach which I really like. I've been here for many, many, many, years, and I am really loving this more intersectional development approach the team appears to be striving for.
