How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

Has anyone ever given a #TED talk that could mentor me? I'd like to know how to submit a presentation that actually interests them, how to do the presentation, and what comes after.

There Is One Fediverse. There Are A Thousand Ways To Join It.
When I showed my sister-in-law my toot.wales feed, she gave the response I believe most people genuinely feel: "It is lovely! If only there was an app." She does not want a protocol or a lesson in the Fediverse; she just wants a simple way to connect with her community. That is why we have built the Tŵt app. It is a straightforward, bilingual, and jargon-free front door for Wales on the social web. Here is why we are choosing clarity over complexity to build a better social experience.

I've just sent the first end-to-end-encrypted #MLS messages from one #Emissary instance to another.
News from around the USA really has me down, so it's important to celebrate the little wins 🎉
And, there's still so much to do. But with equal quantities of luck and caffeine, I can screencast some early prototypes for you before too long.
I believe #E2EE is important for the #Fediverse because it will give us more ways to use this network, and expand what people can do here.

Love this collab between toot.wales and @newsmast to make joining the Fediverse simpler 🙏🏼
what are some trusted resources to follow iranian news?
@osma@mas.to @maikel@vmst.io mastodon api are in development github.com/bonfire-networks/...
@maikel@vmst.io we use it as our individual and project presence
I guess this is a personal update: I hit winter break totally out of reserves and then two of our parents arrived at the last stages of their lives at basically the same time. We've been traveling back and forth and trying to keep everything as normal as possible for our kid, but we are about as much in limbo as you can be (without being a dead Catholic) rn, and of course the News of the World is…dire.
Anyway, I am missing a lot of emails right now, and I am not sure when I will catch up.
@kissane@mas.to sending hugs!!

X has become the Everything App that Elon always wanted, if “everything” means all the tools you need to fuck up someone’s life, in one place. https://www.404media.co/grok-ai-sexual-abuse-imagery-twitter/

The #Forkiverse as a model: ie converting podcast audiences to an instance makes a lot of sense.
It helps people pick a smaller instance (which still stops people joining the #fediverse) and it immediately has reach beyond the community (unlike say a discord server)
If this was to become the norm though it would need to be very very easy to do and I imagine the cost of this will rack up pretty quickly.
@delaney There’s so much potential here, it’s wild. Huge kudos to the Bonfire team, with every update I become more and more tempted to build with it.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org thanks 🙏 we're close to ship the 1.0.1, which includes quite a lot of performance improvements and bugs fixing for a minor release (and actually new features as well) eager to get feedbacks !

I'm honestly really stoked to see federated Groups take shape in #Bonfire.
The potential is absolutely enormous, and could provide a streamlined and comprehensive way for group interactions to be viable for more platforms in the network.

Democracy shouldn’t end at the login screen.
Mastodon is the only major social network that answers to you. As a nonprofit, we’re building a digital commons where transparency, trust, and your participation shape the future.

mas.to/users/kissane/statuse... straconsiglio questo articolo di @kissane@mas.to !
É un affresco potente e lucido dei presenti che stiamo attraversando. Ammiro tantissimo chi, scrivendo, riesce a mantenere complessità, idee, opinioni e contraddizioni tutte insieme, senza ostinarsi a cercare soluzioni a tutti i costi, o come dice donna haraway, é capace di "restare a contatto col problema" ❤️
