Experience the tranquil beauty of Wind Point Lighthouse at sunrise. As the sun begins to rise, the lighthouse stands magnificently against the stunning backdrop of Lake Michigan, all from the perspective of a chilly beach. Hidden in the southeastern part of Wisconsin, it's a magical winter spectacle that you won't want to miss.

TeX-Markup in Friendica. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt wozu Friendica in der Lage ist.

$$\frac {v_1 + v_2}{1 + \frac {v_1 \cdot v_2}{c^2}}$$

$$\frac {1}{\sqrt {1 - \dfrac {2 \cdot G \cdot M} {r \cdot c^2}}}$$

$$\begin{align}
L & = \lim_{|x| \to \infty}\ \frac{\cos \frac 1x \cdot \frac{-1}{x^2}}{\frac{-1}{x^2}}\
& = \lim_{|x| \to \infty} {\cos\frac 1x} \cdot \frac{-1}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x^2}{-1}\
& = \cos\frac 1{\infty} = \cos 0 = 1
\end{align}$$

Still very new to the #Fediverse and getting the hang of things. Could use some #Feditips!

I made an account over on the main #Pixelfed instance last week but later realized there should be the option to simply register using this account so I could keep things connected, however, after finding said instructions I'm seeing that the register link is no longer present at Pixelfed ...is that disabled for now or just an error or misunderstanding on my side? 😅

Fast Answer? Name a union on Mastodon with their own mastodon instance.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #Unions

Reminder that #AllThingsTech has a store where we sell various items such as hoodies, t-shirts, stickers and more.

Each purchase also helps support the instance itself and helps cover the costs of the server and other things.

If you'd like to buy something, you can do so via the link below.

Once you receive your product, take a picture and tag us so we can share your post!

Was ich hier nochmal loswerden möchte. Ich habe noch nicht mal an die 100 Follower und trotzdem sind die Interaktionen hier auf #Mastodon super. 👍 Das gefällt mir. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich euch und dem #Fediverse einen schönen Abend. 😊

@mullaney

#Lists with "Do not show in Home timeline" selected

I currently have eleven lists

I keep them in their own separate web browser tab

#Mastodon #Fediverse

@thenotexpert yup. I can be here and just share #AIart without being targeted by extreme opponents, because playing around with #AI is normal and expected here.

Other communities, like mastodon.art, ban #generativeAI (they even blacklisted this very instance) altogether, and I don't blame them. People who are not comfortable with the advent of AI images can go there and have a rest.

#Fediverse does feel liberating.

#NixOS 23.11 is scheduled for release today 🎉

If you've used any of my NixOS starter templates for #WSL, cloud VMs or Bare Metal servers, I'll be posting some videos this week going through the (painless!) upgrade process from 23.05 to 23.11 🚀

I'll be posting links to them here on the #Fediverse of course, but if you're interested I'd appreciate if you could sub to the channel too ♥️

We are at 855 subs now, so close to 1000! 😱

Come to think of it, that's what attracts me in #Mastodon and #Fediverse. Even though instances communicate between each other, they are still just small communities dedicated to certain topics and having their own rules. And it is all about communication, no algorithms or brain hacks trying to make us stay online and abusing our emotions. Just like in the good old times.

Cataloging lots in Milwaukee.

Fallacies of the #Fediverse:

1. Hosting (and transport) is free.

2. Knowledge on how to run systems is cheap.

3. Social graphs are not just transient, but ephemeral.

4. People care about licenses and protocols.

5. People do not care about history.

6. How people use a given set of features is largely similar between different groups.

7. Systems on a given protocol are homogenous.

8. Moderation is a straightforward process with yes/no answers.

(With apologies to Deutsch)

I think i can speak for most Fedi admins when I say;

On the #Fediverse we care a lot more about (mental) health rather than keeping you on here as long as possible so with that said...

Take a break from your feed every now and then!

Go read a book, take a walk or play a game :ed_grin:

The Fediverse will be here when you'll get back❤️

Innovation in decentralised social networks

Flipboard’s Mike McCue recently released the first episode of the new podcast Dot Social with Mike Masnick, where they discuss protocols, platforms, and the decentralised internet, and it’s worth listening to.

Johannes Ernst gives a thread with a summary and responses here, which is worth reading. One thing I’d like to comment on is Mike Masnick’s comment that he expects innovation more to happen on Bluesky’s ATProto than on fediverse’s ActivityPub.

I agree that innovation in the decentralised network space is happening to a signficant extend outside of the fediverse sphere, but I disagree with the idea that this will happen on Bluesky and ATProto. Instead, I think that Nostr is a more likely candidate:

Innovation in a decentralised network is currently largely dependent on individual hobbyist developers that are experimenting. For an individual developer the accesibility and difficulty of working with the protocol is an important consideration. From my understanding talking to developers is Nostr the easiest to work with. ActivityPub differs a lot, but can certainly be difficult, especially regarding actual interoperability. I have been told that ATProto is the hardest of the three to develop for, plus that it is simply not even put into practice yet.

Culture of the network is even more important though in driving innovation. The fediverse has cultures and etiquette that say that some innovations in the network are unwelcome, especially regarding search and consent. One of the things that interest me about the fediverse is that the social impact of technology is taken into account. We’re building these networks for people. But making features off-limits in a network does limit innovation as well, there is a cost to it.

Bluesky is threading a difficult middle ground here with the culture. The developers seem to have more of a technologist mindset to protocol design, and concerns about how federation will interact with content moderation are not given much care. At the same time, a core group of Bluesky users is not particularly interested in federation, and wants a simple Twitter replacement. That puts the team in a pretty difficult spot with regards to future innovation. They made great strides with custom algorithms, but they do experience significant pushback from the community on features that they themselves want to work on, especially relating to opening the network.

Nostr has an explicit culture of adverse interoperability, and a libertarian community who seems to be quite inspired by crypto’s mantra of ‘if we can build it we should build it’. This is not really grounds for a network that is safe for many people. It does provide a fertile ground for rapid experimentation and innovation. The network is by far the smallest of the three, but it has also created quite some innovations that the other two network haven’t, in the recent months. Multiple long-form article publishing sites, a torrent archive, an integrated payment system for subscriptions with crypto, and more. There are good reasons to be have some issues with some of these innovations, but it is hard to deny that they are developing at a rapid speed.

Overall I think that innovation often happens at the fringes where there is reasons for experimentation. But also, cultural reasons that inhibit innovation speed can actually be pretty good from the human perspective.

Is there a #mastodon #fediverse browser extension that automatically redirects fediverse links to your instance?

I think that'd smooth one of the biggest issues I still actually encounter with masto, esp since "copy link to post" gives me the remote URL (but even if it didn't, if you're not on .social, my .social link wouldn't help)

I really do love this whole #Mastodon thing. I tried Twitter a few times in its heyday with my real identity and just wasn't into it, but something about all you fuckin #Fediverse nerds, hackers, and sex workers finally made this microblogging thing click for me. I don't know *anybody* on here IRL, but I have a real sense of community with you dorks and I really enjoy the discourse we all have on here. I've come to identify with this dumb little throwaway handle. #FOSS forever, love you guys

I didn't know that @termux #android #terminal was on the #fediverse!

“Open discourse is the central pillar of a free society”

It's definitely my vision for what the #fediverse should be. We should only block or defederate for abusive behavior.

I’m gonna have to host this thing myself again, haven’t I? My Mastodon host, Fedi.monster, does not offer full-text search (ElasticSearch). Exporting the database and searching it by hand to rediscover posts is getting old. I wish I could just use my domain with one of the existing instances rather than having to maintain a full instance just to get my domain as the handle. Mastodon is nothing like email. #Fediverse #selfHost

Apparently bluesky is working on a way to disable replies to a post. Something that exists on Twitter, Instagram, Threads, etc.

It’s actually crazy that this still isn’t a thing on mastodon. We pretend that this place is safer, less harmful, offer more choice and customization, yet we still can’t deny replies to our posts.

Between this and open-DM by default. We can see that mastodon’s "safety" is very relative.

Question for #fediverse experts (maybe @Gargron himself?): do we know how many Mastodon users have opted into search indexing across the entire network? I'm writing a post about the open web over 2023, including a section about Mastodon's improvements this year — so I'm curious about the search detail, if it's public yet.

Seems like once BlueSky opens their federation, you might be able to talk to BSky people, I wonder what are people's opinions on this. https://snarfed.org/2023-11-27_re-introducing-bridgy-fed

I blame it all on the #fediverse ...

Life was a pretty, stable, bubble of existence until I wandered over here. Was I deep in femboy twitter and discord servers? Sure, but those skirts and cute leggings were just for fun... ya know, "for the culture".

Started meeting all sorts of cool, diverse queer and trans folks here. I didn't know what I was missing until I found it.

Was pointed to the Gender Dysphoria Bible. Read the thing in like a day or so. Frick... so I'm def trans. Frick. Egg totally cracked.

Mind tried to resist this new reality for a good while most of this year. Debating with my brain, reading more, trying little experiments, testing assumptions and boundaries.

Happy to say I'm scheduled for intake to talk to a doctor about HRT early next year (it's hard to find doctors where I live). It'll be a whole new year and stepping into a new world to boot. Scared as heck, but excited too. Love you all! :heart_progress:​ :hug_love:​

Neues Blog, neues Glück: Auf https://digitalpioneers.club bzw. @times schreiben wir, was #digitalpioneers die letzten 40 Jahre so erlebt haben, was wir beobachtet haben und wie es sich entwickelt hat. Auf der zugehörigen Instanz https://digitalpioneers.social fragen wir uns, wann das Internet falsch abgebogen ist, ob wir das so lassen müssen, oder ob wir das nochmal neu machen können.
Mein #MastodonUmzug-Tutorial ist dorthin umgezogen, und es werden mehr #Fediverse #tutorials folgen.

What's a good tool to analyze interactions with a #Mastodon account, i.e. how many likes, boosts, or comments an account is getting each month? Follower growth would also be great. Tough to make a case for more investment into the #Fediverse in a business setting without #analytics like this. Thanks!

Okay so. I’m doing that thing where I’m suddenly thinking bigger. We’ll keep focusing on the supercool mastodon #music show, but how about this concept.

Has anyone addressed the overall concept of #musiclicensing on #mastodon + the #fediverse? I mean OVERALL universal music licensing. What’s powering TikTok? How come they get to have all the music licensing fun?

I know no one “owns” masto, but who *oooowns* mastodon? Boost a Berklee Music Deans Lister digging into licensing in their direction.

Come on #fediverse, final push - only 4 people have donated so far. I think we can do better.

Please consider donating at least $5 to a fantastic charity called #Food4Farmers on this #givingTuesday. They work on food security in the farming communities of Central America.

For everyone who donates $5 or more, you can be eligible to win one of two Expedition Brewers I'm offering up as a raffle prize.

@mmasnick says, on @mike’s podcast, that in spite of about 15 years of social networking in the mainstream, we haven’t really wrapped our minds around what it means to have a social graph “everywhere”.

Indeed! Of course, we couldn’t, before the #fediverse, because even if we had figured it out, it would have been impossible to implement due to the centralization of the social platforms. But now we can!

Social graph in your fridge? Here we come!!:-)

@mike brings up a compelling argument for the #fediverse in a historical analogy with #aol: all the innovation around, say, travel in the closed AOL system back then could only come from AOL and whatever they could think up. It took the protocol-not-platform-centric decentralized web to catalyze the much broader innovation we’ve seen since, e.g. AirBnb is hard to imagine having been invented inside a closed system like AOL.

@mike and @mmasnick move on in their podcast to discuss an (upcoming?) paper by @danny where he discusses the ultimate (“terminal”) values of what we are all trying to do here in the #fediverse. Apparently his take is that #decentralization is not all that important, control over one’s own thoughts and ideas is.

I have a comment here, though: there is nothing in #activitypub or any other relevant standards that says that #fediverse software needs to allow you to take your followers from one instance to another. In other words, the #fediverse does not actually promise anybody that they can take their followers!

(Maybe it should. I sure would like that. Some apps allow you to do that. But whether eg #threads ever implements it is entirely up to them)

@mike @mmasnick

Now in the dot-social podcast episode, @mike and @mmasnick discuss how much #fediverse and #threads users understand the proposition of “own your followers”. They come to the conclusion: probably not much. (I would agree.)

We are excited to launch a test #Sharkey server on the #fediverse.

https://iBeSocial.space

Please use it as a playground if you are curious about Sharkey.

This is a TEST server. DO NOT use it as your main account on the fediverse.

We are using it to help us decide how we move forward with the main iBeSocial brand.

Welcome to #Mastodon and the #Fediverse!

Did you know that you can choose to “approve” new followers, before they are allowed to follow you?

This gives you a chance to vet new followers, to confirm they aren’t spammers, bots, or even humans you don’t really want nosing around.

Mastodon calls this “locking your account,” which sounds a bit scary and unfriendly, but in my opinion it makes the whole experience actually feel *more* social and humane.

NLNet has announced 55 new projects that are awarded a NGI Zero grant. NGI Zero is the Next Generation Internet program from the European Commision, that funds projects that work on what they call the next generation internet. For more info in NLnet and NGI Zero, check out this interview I did with NLnet this summer. The latest round of grants has quite a few projects that connect to the fediverse in some way. An overview:

NodeBB is a popular forum software platform. They got funding to add ActivityPub integration to NodeBB, allowing interoperability with both other NodeBB forums as well as the fediverse at large. NodeBB says that the “hardest part of starting a community is gaining a critical mass of adoption in order to sustain interest and content”, and integrating with the fediverse is seen as a way to overcome their biggest hurdle.

The loosely connected group of developers at fedidevs.org got a grant to build an automated test framework and test cases. It is currently hard for fediverse developers to build fediverse software that properly federates with the rest dof the network, as a consistent test suite for ActivityPub is lacking. This new test framework hopes to make it easier for developers to start building for the fediverse.

Bonfire is a federated social network that’s currently in development, with most of the work now on getting the platform ready for release. Their grant will go towards improving the performance, as well releasing their version of the ActivityPub library they are using as open-source.

GoToSocial is a lightweight, customisable, and safety-focused entryway into the fediverse, and is currently in Alpha development. With this grant, the team will add two factor authentication, and improve interoperability and scalability.

Mobilizon is a federated event planning tool, originally developed by Framasoft. Framasoft recently announced that they have completed their vision of Mobilizon. The project is not over however, as another group got funding to further improve the UX of Mobilizon.

PeerTube got funding for further improving the adoption, accessability and popularity of the platform, as well as to develop a mobile app. Framasoft has quite a few announcements in the pipeline, I’ll talk more about Framasoft, PeerTube and Mobilizon in the near future with more information.

Commune is social networking build on Matrix instead of ActivityPub, with a focus on creating communities. The project has interesting ideas about how to build social spaces, and is looking to add fediverse integration as well.

Overall there are a lot of cool and interesting projects that NLnet has funded, with a mix of supporting and scaling existing projects, as well as funding new ideas. For other projects that are interested, you can find more information about their grant process here. The deadline for the next round is December 1st 2023.
