- Someone trying to help genocide victims

- Someone denying the existence of genocide victims and working to get them banned from Mastodon servers

Some Mastodon server admins: “We literally cannot see a difference between the two.”

You wanna know the difference? You already know who you would want with you when you’re faced with a fascist in a dark alley. Unless, of course, that’s the one character you identify with most in this post.

Something like half a year later, I wonder whether this article - timothychambers.net/2025/06/18… - has sparked any changes or improvements in how current #Fediverse works? @tchambers ? 🙈

It's our birthday today. 🎉

Two years ago today, we filed the paperwork for Mirlo to officially become a legal entity. We're so grateful and humbled by everyone who has contributed to the experiment since then. Here's to many more years making music together on the internet! 🐦‍⬛🐸🎺

Everything has gone to...

In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.

Enshittification consists of four stages:

1. Platforms are good for users

2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers

3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit

4. Platforms die

We don't need to look to TikTok and so forth as inspiration for "monetizing the #FediVerse ".

Instead, think of small online businesses. My favorite example of this is the #ttrpg industry - the majority of companies are very small indeed.

And for them, it is vital that they can interact with their fans and customers. On #Facebook , they can do that via Facebook Business Pages, which provide a feed that regular Facebook users can interact with.

I want that kind of thing for the Fediverse as well.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Tomorrow I'll travel to Bologna, Italy, to talk about the #fediverse at Bologna Tech Week: https://bolognatechweek.com

I'll be on a panel with @niccolove, moderated by @morloi.

I'm super grateful for this opportunity, as this year the conference will have a fediverse panel for the first time ever!!!

The attendees are mostly marketers and content creators, so it's an amazing feeling to put in a good word about the fediverse. I'll do my best 🤗

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about #PeerTube, #Loops, #Bandwagon, and other platforms in the #Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

Hallo #fediverse ,

mit sofortiger Wirkung trennen wir uns von unserem langjährigen Lieferanten

#conrad Electronics ,
https://conrad.de

weil das Unternehmen Mitglied in folgenden Lobbyvereinen ist:

#familienunternehmer
https://www.familienunternehmer.eu/

UND

#familienunternehmen
https://www.familienunternehmen.de/

Wir sind der Ansicht, dass die Ziele der beiden Vereine/Institutionen
unseren Zielen entgegenstehen.

Dazu gehört: u.a.
#co2reduktion
#Gleichbehandlung
#Steuergerechtigkeit

#taxtherich

My post traveling through the #Fediverse got another push over the weekend (thx @pallenberg), motivating me to have another look. And surprise: After adding the software of multiple instances, #Sharkey came in before #Bluesky. 🥳
