Hello World!
We're building a social web alternative to open graph, powered by @webintents and @fedidb
The website and documentation will be published soon, stay tuned 🚀
Bravo, @EH_Ludwigsburg@bawü.social
Als erste Hochschule in Deutschland 🥇 hat die #Evangelische #Hochschule #Ludwigsburg einen eigenen #PeerTube-Kanal eingerichtet
und damit die nächste Stufe auf der Reise ins #Fediverse gezündet: 🚀
@eh_ludwigsburg@digitalcourage.video
Das eine gute Entscheidung, die es der Öffentlichkeit ermöglicht die #Videos der Hochschule zu sehen ohne den völlig undurchsichtigen #AGBs von #YouTube zustimmen zu müssen.
Realisiert wird der Kanal über die PeerTube-Instanz von @digitalcourage.de
📜 Scrolls volume 29 is live! Lots of #indieweb #fediverse & #infosec / #cybersecurity nuggets to be found within 🤗

One reason why it is so hard to reign into Big Tech platforms is their own contradictions. In a new article by @elkesybille, Sara Maric & myself, we try to unpack how they expand and subvert democratic publics by looking at the case of YouTube: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1mc285Ef7AXVcx

can anyone help me find some graphics for social media alternatives that show the big social media logos and then the logo and name of the activitypub equivalent?
I know I have seen a few but suddenly can't find them.
@stefan I know I can be naïve, but I want to think we're something new and different, not just (less popular) federated equivalents of TwitterX, Instagram, etc.
(It's not just semantics: I think it hurts us a lot when people arrive and try to make Mastadon behave like Twitter, for example.)
Both is true: YT has expanded democratic publics by lowering barriers for content creation and distribution; and it also has subverted democratic publics by amplifying extremist, emotionalising or propagandistic content.
To give another example, it is YT's monopolistic market dominance that makes it so strong and valuable as a market place for creators and users alike; at the same time, the proprietary governance leads to discriminatory practices such as shadow bans without accountability. 2/3
In our analysis, we show how YouTube navigates these contradictions and argue that decentralised and non-proprietary alternatives based on open standards and protocols such as the #Fediverse would lead to different outcomes.

Hey everyone,
@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Anwar (@anwar88)
• Eyad family From Gaza 🇵🇸🍉 (@EyadFromGaza)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.
💕

Was der Name „+1-Strategie“ noch verbirgt: Es wird zwar nur ein weiterer Kanal genutzt, die Posts landen aber in mehreren Netzwerken – #ActivityPub sei Dank! Wer seine #WissKomm im Videoformat auch auf #PeerTube ausspielt, erreicht damit Menschen auf #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Bonfire oder auch nur mit normalen #RSS-Readern.
RE: https://bewegung.social/@neuSoM/116045528037601788
Das @neuSoM bleibt dran: Ein neuer Brief für due +1-Strategie: Öffentliche Einrichtungen sollten zumindest AUCH das Open Social Web und Dienste wie Mastodon nutzen.

pack-mastodon v0.1.0 is now available on Ramble!
Deploy Mastodon, a self-hosted ActivityPub social network, to HashiCorp Nomad
Nice! I have queued this up for inclusion in the delightful fediverse experience curated list.
