#instances

Now with more and more #instances upgraded to version 4.2.0 of #Mastodon, you can compare full text #search on different ones: Having multiple accounts, I did – and yes, the differences are rather big.

Once again it seems clear, the bigger your instance the better for finding content in the #fediverse. Especially for journalists, this also implies, that an instance by your organization might not be the best idea. Something like journa.host could make more sense.

@feditips @tchambers

@heyminto
A search on your #instance goes only through accounts, "your instance knows".
That's more than the sum of all accounts in the #fediverse, that are followed by someone on your instance, but less than all the accounts on all #instances with accounts, that someone on your instance follows.
See:
https://oisaur.com/@renchap/111138309970407933

I rarely use the #Mastodon #web #interface so I don't know if the #dormant #following / #follower option has been available since I first joined last October (it's buried), but I just went through both groups and deleted most of the accounts there.

It seems a lot of them are artifacts of people migrating #server #instances, and a good chunk are folks who went back to #corporate #SocialMedia.

My follower count is now more realistic, from 1.6k to 610. Accounts I follow went from 374 to 259.

This can be a problem with blocking #instances - as I've seen with some instances being blocked without there being evidence of bad conduct.

But there's also the assumption a particular opinion is automatically a bad one, therefore should not be considered.

I wonder if social media encourages this, since you go online and find all sorts of opinions. It's easy to get annoyed at someone's take, but can anyone be bothered to go through that person's timeline to see if that take was a one off?

It looks like we are back up, however I might just move this account over to my masto host. As I run my own instance there, and it is set to private, this should be fun. Sorry to everyone who might get follow requests from me, again. #MastoHelp #Mastodon #Instances

for those who were following me on my mastodon.cc instance, it appears to be down both via google and my clients I'm using. I guess it's the waiting game right now. If this happens again in the next few months I will not be too happy about this. #mastodon #Instances

Megaaaaa!

Guys, who didn't know it yet, I didn't either until just now:

There is a #SearchEngine for all #Mastodon #instances, where you can register.
So if you want to #switch to another #instance and you are also a fan of individual #emoticons, you should definitely check out this search engine.

MEGA, I think.

It is hard for #Tusky to show posts from different #instances . Can this be fixed? How can simple folks like help?

#FirefishBugs

I began in Masto last year, tried numerous #Instances, experimented with two #Firefish Instances & loved lots about it but was turned off by the serious bugs &/or design problems, spent time in two #Friendica Instances & again loved lots about it but was turned off by various issues, & am now back in Masto. 🤦‍♀️

Good luck! 🤗

Since getting #reported for that one post on #masto #social once..

I think I will not return to #public #instances ...
Ever.

I had deleted the post in question (which was just a theroetical anyways)
And still got notified about some "we decided to delete your post, despite it being already deleted"

Maybe #socialmedia isn't for me.

#RamblingsAlcea

Does there exist, anywhere, a list of actually active #mastodon #relay sites that little #instances such as my own could subscribe in order to see more of what's available on the Fediverse? I think I'm missing out on some important discussions about the future of mastodon (and therefore learning new things and understanding others' viewpoints) and the like because I'm only seeing updates from instances where I've got people followed.

I'd like to be more involved.

Thanks in advance to anyone with a list (or even a suggestion of one or two!) relays which are ACTUALLY ACTIVE and responding to relay requests.

Other #admins of little instances like mine would appreciate this.

I've been away from this Instance [#KolektivaSocial] for a few months, but sadly across that period DMs i'd sent to Admin & Mods remained unreplied. Though it might not give a better outcome, i'm now asking again publicly, in case for some reason @moderation & @admin DMs are never monitored, or maybe are disabled.

1. Does https://kolektiva.social have any plans to use the #GlitchSoc #GlitchSocial Mastodon fork here, instead of plain vanilla Masto s/w as now? It brings numerous benefits, not only but including toot Markdown formatting support.

2. Would it be possible to expand the #emojis available in the kolektiva.social compose-posts emoji-picker tool, by adding these commonplace #FOSS #Linux ones [which are available in at least some other #Instances ]:
:linux:
:arch:
:archlinux:
:kde:
:plasma:
:openSUSE:
:gnome:
:firefox:
:firefox_nightly:​
:vivaldi_browser:
:vivaldi_snapshot:

I see a lot of people talk about creating a second or third or fourth account to follow different #instances. Why not just create a list for different local instances/timelines, like this?

#Mastodon #instances render like garbage if I ever #dare to turn it #off

I even cleared the #browser #cache etc.

@Gary_Host @mastohost @feditips Small instance owner here, no relays added because I tought it would be overkill. I trigger the #federation by following people on others #instances and #boosting posts. It's slow and organic but a month later I really see how far the federation is going and it's truly pleasant (again IMO).

For the visibility part, if what you're posting is intresting and found foot in your followers, it will gain visibility trought the boosts.Hope you find the right place 4 u

Fun. I just used the tool here to see the connections I have made to different instances across the Fediverse. Surprised by the huge list! (this is just the first page. Over 500 total) Biggest source of connections is mstdn.ca of course because Canada 🇨🇦 :)

#StuffAlcea

One thing that's been pretty cool about #Mastodon after using it for a while is how many smaller, more intimate #instances I see in people's usernames. When I first joined mastodon, it felt like *everyone* was on mastodon.social, but over the last year and a half, people have found their niches and filled them out appropriately. It makes me feel warm inside when I see a new instance url in someone's name that I had never seen before. That's the #federation working as intended!

Salut mastoche ! Aujourd’hui, on va parler politisation des espaces en lignes. Ou comment expliquer à taon collègue centriste que continuer à aller sur le réseau de #Musk, ce n’est pas très différent que de continuer à consommer les médias de Bolloré ou Murdoch. #thread #pédagogie

📜 Il y a quelques jours, l’annonce de twitter de supprimer la fonction blocage a beaucoup fait parler, mais n’a pas toujours suscité d’analyses approfondies sur les tenants exacts de cette décision. Qui est vraiment gêné.e par l’impossibilité de #bloquer les autres, et qu’est-ce que ce type de changement structurel appliqué au réseau (qui n’est pas le seul depuis son changement de propriétaire) implique pour sa population et les messages qu’il renvoie ? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

En fait, il faut voir les choix techniques et de gouvernance faits depuis le rachat comme un ensemble, mais celui-ci, que ce soit pour son effet d’annonce ou ce qu’il implique directement, est particulièrement imagé.

Pouvoir bloquer un.e utilisaterice, plutôt que simplement utiliser le bouton mute, a quelques effets immédiats que l’on peut considérer directement : ne plus pouvoir être mentionné, ne plus avoir de QRT, bref, s’exposer à moins de bruit et se séparer du reste du réseau, surtout en cas de harcèlement (ce qui n’empêche malheureusement pas les choses comme les captures d’écran, le blocage est de plus en plus contourné).

Mais ce qu’il faut se demander sur le blocage, c’est qui en a le plus besoin… Ou plutôt, qui a vraiment besoin de filtrer ce qui lui provient et de s’isoler de certaines parties du réseau plutôt que d’autres ?

📌 À titre personnel, je suis sur #mastodon pour une raison plutôt simple : j’étais sur Twitter il y a une dizaine d’années, j’y ai acquis plein de choses utiles (les bases de mon éducation politique, de culture anti-psy qui m’a grandement aidé pour plus tard, des connaissances pour mon futur boulot dans l’informatique, un moyen de sociabiliser avec quelques personnes, et surtout un moyen de rester en activité en tant que personne avec TDAH, c’est quand même vachement utile, bref).

J’étais sur Twitter en 2012, jusqu’à que ce le réseau où l’ambiance était encore bonne, peuplé en français de journalistes, d’informaticien.ne.s, et dans mon cercle proche quelques militant.e.s libristes, féministes intersectionnel.le.s ou anar commence à être pourri par l’extrême-droite.

En dix ans, le réseau s’est rempli de personnalités qui sont surtout arrivées sur la fin de la décennie pour l’espace francophone, la société s’est polarisée, TPMP est arrivé sur les écrans, le Figaro nous a donné des larmes à boire sur le wokisme, Tiktok a fini par commencer à prendre le relais pour informer les gen Z plus jeunes sur la culture queer ou les neuroatypies (et tant mieux pour le moment), mais surtout, Twitter est devenu invivable. L’ambiance est mauvaise, on se fait agresser en permanence, le réseau paraît impossible à modérer correctement. La communauté est d’une taille énorme, trop grande, tout le monde interagir trop facilement avec n’importe qui.

💥 Mais si Twitter continue toujours à tenir à peu près debout jusqu’à là, malgré son ambiance, c’est que comme les sociologues le montrent régulièrement, les communautés qui l’utilisent se regroupent naturellement en #clusters. Des groupes sociaux avec leurs codes culturels et leurs signes de reconnaissances propres (les néo-pronoms, le drapeau dans le tweet name, etc.), leurs gros « influenceurs » respectifs qui sont le noyau dur de pas mal de communautés, pour notre langue pas mal de gens branchés sur les réseaux anglo-saxons qui redistribuent les concepts qu’on y trouve de plus frais en général.

Ces communautés peuvent présenter au premier regard un aspect un peu étanche, faiblement poreux mais poreux quand même : on a trouvé de plus en plus de groupes, ligues ou gens isolés perdus par l’algorithme qui se sont mis à contredire gratuitement des gens qui ne portaient pas simplement leurs sensibilités, par divertissement, par haine ou par maladresse, avec les années.

D’où la détérioration automatique des climats locaux. Et surtout, d’où le fait que Mastodon par exemple est séparé en #instances où le facho ne vient pas taper sur lae féministe devant ellui et vice versa. On a des exutoires et des moyens pour rappeler ce qui nous gêne dans la vie de tous les jours mais sans faire un champ de bataille, ce qui est plutôt sain in fine,

Du coup, sur Twitter, le blocage, le choix des abonnements et autres fonctionnalités servaient un peu à se polariser comme il faut et à garder des espaces de dialogue sains entre individu.e.s fédéré.e.s par les mêmes luttes. (1/3)

@mairin It's #unfortunate, and I hope you do whatever lets you use the #language(s) of your choice freely.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, many #instances have English-only (or other single-language-only) #rules because they fear #legal #liability because of their inability to effectively #moderate or respond to complaints about #content posted in a language they cannot understand.

So anyone: if you moved #instances and therefore fell off my #lists that I manually check to see what's going on with people, I did not mute you!

I just happen to follow a Niagara Fall's worth of accounts (over 5K) and haven't seen you whizzing past. LMK you are still there if I haven't seen you in a while!

Over the past year the Fediverse has experienced significant growth, and this comes at a very real cost: Mental Health.

#fediverse #infighting #mentalhealth #instances #shutdown #blocking #admin #moderator #future

#Ciao a tutti!! :blobcheerbounce:

Since I have some #friends in #instances that block #qoto, have decided to create a secondary #account in one which has an higher #reputation on the #fediverse.
Will use both, this will be a more general one so keep them both if you want the whole of it! I plan to stay active in both :blabcatverified:

Have chosen to create it here on #mstdn because I've been following @stux for quite a while now, and never fails to put a #smile on my face! :ablobcatnomcookie:

So I know that #Mastodon #instances don't show all posts by all servers on all accounts but I looked up a tag on mastodon.social to see what would show up and found a mastodon.art account that was not federated with my instance. I know mastodon.art federates with my instance. Is it because the account wasn't following anybody?

I read #Feditips post on what accounts and posts I will see but if this is how it works and this one account wasn't showing up then how do any new accounts show up on other instances?

#mastodon #explanation #fediverse #instances

@ninokadic ye mean less populated #instances than the one yer currently on? 🤔 The one I'm on is absolutely great for me, I have seen other instances that would also suit me too, but I'm not inclined to move, as I know the admin, Trumpet, is active & looking after it. Find the one ye think suits ye best. Social is highly populated, only of its own making, doesn't mean it's popular...

I have a #mastodon question: what is a good server for a #book / #design blog account? It would be a mix of automatic *and *manual posts. I personally defaulted to mastodon.social but is there somewhere else more appropriate for my website? #fediverse #mastotips #feditips #instances

Toot Works update:

We are up to 38 users (23 active users). I'm standing by my pledge to shut down new sign-ups when we reach 100 active users. At this rate, it is going to take 6 more years to get there, though.

Storage is hockey-sticking at the moment. We are still using https://relay.infosec.exchange/ which has 440 Connected Servers. I think that a lot of that is growth in the relay.

We are still using @mastohost's Star plan. I'm hoping to stay on that for a while. ...

How long until #instances start blocking perfectly fine instances because they didn't block #meta ?

How long until you stop seeing your friends on the #fediverse because they are "in the wrong instance" ?

I personally think that segregation, gated communities, borders, walls are not good for the network itself, and that blocking should be an individual choice, not enforced by anyone.

But to grok me you'd need to understand coercive groups & cults toxicity / group thinking drifts.

@gnomepuddelfen

#Instances

I can't think of it in a tech way, my metaphor is that Fediverse is a big city and you have to join one of the houses.
From there you can see out the windows to all the other houses too. You can still communicate with all the other houses, there just needs to be a line established into your house.
It may already be established, or if not you may have to use your window (search field) to grab your friend's line and bring it in. Then you can chat all you want.

⚠ UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your suggestions!! I have joined regenerate.social for now 😊

I'm super excited to share a conversation I had recently with #FastForward program member @unascribed.

Una is the creator of #Jortage, a communal storage pool for #Fediverse instances. The project helps admins here on #Mastodon and beyond keep costs down by pooling resources and de-duplicating content storage across the 70+ #instances that use it.

#MastodonSocial #decentralization #federation #migration #ServerList #Instances

@atomicpoet @Natanox I confess I thought that all changes in the #Mastodon code - the ones that affect all #instances - had to pass through a #community vote among the most committed Mastodon devs.

Is it fair to say that the Mastodon network is #decentralized as a product, but not as a process?

One of the big advantages of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is the possibility to move accounts between #instances (even of different services).

Still I always see accounts on mastodon.social, so maybe this feature isn't really used that much. So I'll do a #poll (well two, one already in German 😉 – interesting to see, if there's any big difference):

How often did you move your here account already? (Boosts welcome)

#ActivityPub

Want some #opinion : How often do you move #instances, and how often is too often?

@chris Regarding #instances, here are the ones I tend to hang out on:

▫️ Mastodon: mastodon.sandwich.net
▫️ Pixelfed: pixelfed.social
▫️ Funkwhale: tanukitunes.com
▫️ Peertube: diode.zone
▫️ Bookwyrm: bookwyrm.social

Note that some of these (incl. the Pixelfed and Bookwyrm instances) are the main project instances which aren't always the best to join since a) they tend to lag and b) smaller communities are often cozier. I would check out the official project sites which often have a list!

@shoq @tchambers

...the same thing as the #EuropeanUnion and its member states: their own, highly protected, #Fediverse #instances.

In Germany, even (almost?) all government agencies now have a handle, as well as almost all federal courts.

https://social.network.europa.eu/explore

If there is a list of politicians in none-EU countries, people here can start pushing for that.

@jake Have we made any progress on #universities and #colleges setting up their own #instances? @fediversenews

Dear #Muslims on #Mastodon:

We need to come together and make our voices heard. We can make the #Fediverse a #SafeSpaceForMuslims, but we need to put in some work.

Demand better #moderation of #Islamophobic #toots and #instances. Call out #admins for #Islamophobia as soon as you see it.

Contrary to what you may be told, this is NOT “dogpiling.” #Bigotry has NO place here. Fight back. Use your voice.

I don't intend to move, but can anyone recommend good #music #instances? I'd love to have some on-hand to recommend to other #musicians who want to join #mastodon.

@atomicpoet @Gargron

#Mastodon just needs more abstraction. People find it too complex. They need to think of #instances, #servers, #moderation, etc.

The onboarding isn't simple.

The metric should be whether your grandmother can do it. If my grandparents were to sign up today, they would pester me for months about what an "instance" is and completely overthink it.

Does the instance you join really still matter?

Well, it depends. If you just want to replace #Twitter because it dies tomorrow or becomes unbreakable today, then no.

That's where the simple onboarding of #Medium is nice. People basically just get an account. They don't need to worry about moderation, rules, federation and interaction distance, and reach of the posts.

I, on the other hand, know and understand more. So I know what advantages I would get by joining a more #tech focused instance like techhub.social or infosec.social.

@atomicpoet

One thing I am wondering about the new #Microsoft #DotNet instance is how it is going to be used. Will they allow employees to use it freely?

Will #BigTech companies that start their own #instances keep it for their employees and use it to host their official profiles, similar to official profiles on other platforms.

@Gargron best wishes for conquer this attack.😈

This #DDoS should also good reminder as well, to spread users across many #Instances and don't let them pile up at one. 😉

Woot! Toot Works (https://toot.works) is now listed on https://joinfediverse.wiki/Instances and https://the-federation.info/platform/21.

Now, I'm just waiting on https://joinmastodon.org/servers to add me.
