I’m looking for a commercial Mastodon hosting solution for a small organization… I know of @mastohost but are there others out there worth looking at?

#mastodon #fediverse #hosting

I love helping civil/civic organizations move away from #bigtech & deploy alternatives.

The urgency is clearer than ever. #DigitalAutonomy has become a mainstream media topic. Yet thus far it has been mostly empty words.

The pace of actual change is either 'pre-climate-change' glacially slow, near invisible, non-existent or still going into the opposite direction. Very frustrating.

They all talk the talk, but few actually walk the walk...

😮‍💨😔

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:

• asmaa-mahmoud (@asmaa98)
• Ahmad (@Ahmadfamily)

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.

💕

Her kommer det årlige pixelfed.dk og expressional.social hosting billede

Serveren og al data står stadig her på Amar' - og ja, det hele kører stadig i teknik rummet bag ved gæstetoilettet (cisternen er cropped væk)

Men i det mindste er det vel så dansk som det kan blive, og kører med oppetid på 99,93% det sidste år (inkl. nedetid til opdateringer, patching, og 5 timer fiber nedbrud, mm..)

(Oppetid https://uptime.is/99.93)

What we need is the ability to support #ChaordicOrganization on the #ActivityPub #fediverse.

To get back to 'shared ownership' and @ben article that triggered my blog post.

The #fediverse is certainly not all cheerleaders, but the question is whether critical notes can be properly heard and addressed in any meaningful way. After all who are the ones who should hear them and act on them? It is "the herd", the crowd, the commons that happens to receive toots via their social graph, and to the extent these manage to penetrate bubbles and echo chambers. To make a strong argument, to reach people, the only strategy is social media influence marketing of sorts. You have to dare to rock the boat enough to be heard. And that's a very bad way to grow a healthy ecosystem I think.

It relates to the oft-heared criticism that on the app-centric #ActivityPub fediverse, it is the app devs who are de-facto in charge and decide what goes and what goes not.

The social dynamics are tricky but fascinating. I hope to be able to spend more time at https://coding.social

@eyeinthesky

Here we come to my new interest area.. I spent a metric ton of time advocating for #fediverse and #ActivityPub and that was initially all on a very optimistic note on how our ecosystem would mature and grow over time, fostering a healthy future for itself.

That however didn't go as planned. You might say that the entirety of the fediverse is still primarily tech-driven. Tech-first approaches that do not differ too much of the much reviled and rejected 'techbro approach'.

Sure, there are plenty discussions on whether an app feature is 'ethical' or not, with discussions on e.g. opt-in vs. opt-out. But that is again purely app-centric.

Where is the dev ecosystem headed, where should they focus, what externalities exist? Where do we want future #fediverse as a whole to be? What's the vision?

And then we come to the social side of things, both in the small, but also in-the-large. Technosphere aligned and subservient to Sociosphere. That is focus of https://coding.social

I have one question. If the fediverse is open source and free for everyone, why do they act like private companies? Why i cant see content on loops or pixelfed whitout logging in? Wheres the search bar? #loops #pixelfed #searchbar #opensource #fediverse

I recreated an old diagram in Excalidraw that I spread about a couple years ago, and made it a bit more informative. Explanation can be found in the #AltText

#Thefediverse is a #decentralised #socialmedia network where users can interact across different platforms and servers.

🙌 It offers advantages like increased #resilience against censorship and enhanced user #privacy.

🎭 While it could simplify #contentcreation and audience growth for #influencers, it still requires #creators to tailor #content to each platform.

Ab geht das in die alte Heimat: Taipei, Singapur, Frankfurt! In knapp 28h bin ich da 🥳

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in die neue Woche. Alles wird gut 🖖

Lange keinen #Presseclub mehr geschaut. Aber wenn @kattascha @gavinkarlmeier dabei sind, lohnt sich das einschalten. Alle haben einen guten Job gemacht. Fantastisch, wie am Ende #Fediverse gesagt und nicht gesagt wird. Stattdessen, zielgruppengerecht: #Interoperabilität und #OpenSource.
