I had an earlier post about municipalities leaving X and joining Mastodon and a thought occurred to me.
Cities and towns could benefit from having their own instance running #Friendica - the closest #Fediverse equivalent to Meta/Facebook. It would allow them to have separate groups for neighborhoods or communities within their municipality, and integrate easily with other Fediverse apps. It would give them more control and focus for their communications.

I reworked it, and now it's way prettier! 💎👇🏻

My always up-to-date sheet with almost 1300 official accounts by media organizations that you can follow from #Mastodon and everywhere else in the #Fediverse.

➡️ https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html

You can show/hide columns, there is a powerful custom search and a button to download an CSV with the handles of all visible accounts for import. There's also the language, the country of origin, and a direct link.

I have a new art to show!

I missed drawing WoW characters a lot; it's been a while. Done for NahiSummerhold on tumblr.

Tonight at @foulab is this month's #Fediverse Night. 7pm onwards.

I'll be trying to work on upgrading a Hometown instance with the newly released massive upgrade!

In den letzten Tagen habe ich Euch (recht schamlos) als Resonanzkörper benutzt, um meinen Blick zum Thema KI und Verantwortung zu schärfen. Dass ihr das habt mit Euch machen lassen, dafür danke ich euch herzlich.

Heute habe ich der AfD im Plenum dann ein paar Takte zu #KI, #Broligarchen, Wutmedien gesagt, aber auch zum #Fediverse, zu @Mastodon und @loops und zum #ÖRR (mal sehen, wie oft ich damit im who said it first lande).😅

Mglw. findet ihre euch ja hier wieder. 😉🙏 #Bundestag

After about twelve hours, the same post had received more than 300 shares and likes on Mastodon, while it had only been shared three times and liked four times on BlueSky.

I'm no social media expert, but it's amazing how reluctant people are to use Mastodon because of its lack of reach and interaction.

If we bring more people here, the Fediverse could become the de facto public square.

METTEZ DES HASHTAGS LES GENS la première chose que je fais pour convaincre quelqu'un'e de rejoindre le #fediverse, c'est de lui demander ce qui l'intéresse. La poterie ? J'ouvre le hashtag #poterie pour lui prouver dans la seconde qu'il y a du contenu pour elle, qu'elle peut trouver des gens avec qui partager, que ça vit. Si pas de contenu, je l'ai perdue.

Chaque hashtag est une vitrine qui doit montrer la vitalité du réseau.

Pensons-y et posons les #hashtags sur les meilleurs publications 🙏

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.
