Carino XMPP però è da anni che #Misskey e #Pleroma, nella fattispecie Soapbox e PL-FE, hanno la chat. Quella di Pleroma è pure federata, con le istanze dello stesso tipo (es Akkoma).
Su Misskey invece hanno aggiunto le stanze di chat.
Mi sento comunque una particella di Sodio nella bottiglia d'acqua.

Unlike traditional platforms, the Fediverse doesn't have an algorithm to push posts. Instead, content needs to be boosted by other users to gain visibility. In this case, the user employed another site — with zero active users (see screenshot) — to boost their own post. The boosting account was created just yesterday (see screenshot), making the intent even more obvious.

Please note the obvious: a brand-new Fedi site with no active users and no activity would not immediately be well federated with another random, relatively new and unknown Fedi site. That’s not how the Fediverse works!

The domains involved in this scheme are fuckass.space and darkestalleygang.lol

This is spam — just dressed up as conversation.

There's currently no standard in the #Fediverse for determining whether a Unicode string can be used as an emoji reaction.
Currently, it seems to be different for #mitra, #pleroma, #misskey, etc.
For example, pleroma users can send unqualified emoji as reactions, but mitra(mitra-web) users can't.
#ActivityPub

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:

This is the default profile photo assigned when you first create a Mastodon account.

If you're still using this photo, and someone like me — who occasionally clears out inactive accounts — sees that you joined 11 months ago but haven’t posted in the past 6, and you never bothered to update your profile... Bye-bye.

#ActivityPub

#Mastadon is trying to be #Twitter, but I'm not a Twitter person, and need better options to digest/navigate my incoming Feed.
So I'm thinking about some decent #activitypub based alternatives.
how Mitra social compares vs (streams) ? (summoning @silverpill & #hubzilla avatar astral projection guy, I forgot his name)
Or what should I know about #pleroma #akkoma #Misskey #lemmy , before investing in them ?

I have, once again, expanded my list of domain extensions I would recommend:

.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)

All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.

Occasionally, during my free time, I have been generating a list of Fedi sites, that use non-US domain names.

https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/The_Fediverse_Outside_United_States/src/branch/main/Index.md

Generally speaking, assuming they're wise enough to also use non-US hosting (as everyone should), that can place them outside U.S. Jurisdiction.

I would also add an optional, alternative:

.de (Germany, with registrar help * )

* Germany technically allows anyone with verified contact details within the country to register a domain. Many registrars offer this as a service. However, you should ensure your domain registrar is located outside U.S. jurisdiction.

Dumb question that I was always too afraid to ask:

I know how the #Fediverse and its federation works. It's intuitive and familiar to me; I mean, I even host my own instance.

But I never understood how interaction cross-software is supposed to work. In theory, I can use whatever #ActivityPub software I want and still interact with everyone else. But in practice that just... isn't the case, right?

I mean, for text it's quite simple: I write a short post on #Mastodon and people on #GoToSocial or #Misskey or whatever can see and read that same post and interact with it. They can see my profile and it appears on their instance in their style and with their features.

Even outside of microblogging I still get it. A super-long post on #Friendica or #Diaspora appears on my timeline, too. Their profiles might have more fields than I can see here, but that's fine.

But what's up beyond that?

I can see #Pixelfed posts here, converted into image galleries. But what about the other way 'round? If someone on Pixelfed follows my Mastodon account, they can't see any of my non-image posts, right?

What about #PeerTube and such niche software? I guess I could follow a PeerTube account as a microblogger and see their videos and descriptions in my timeline. Video comments are replies.

But the other way 'round? How are they supposed to interact with Friendica or Pixelfed users? PeerTube doesn't even have a "timeline".

Doesn't that feature disparity undermine the whole idea of the #Fediverse or am I missing something?
