#2024summary — Public Fediverse posts

As for the Fossery Tech project, I started to post weekly Linux and FOSS news on Mastodon and Odysee.
In the meantime, I switched Mastodon instance from mstdn.social to social.linux.pizza because I didn't like mstdn.social's take on the Threads situation, "giving Meta a chance", because it contradicts with what the Fossery Tech project is about: using only open source software and staying away from big tech (no offense to mstdn.social admin and mods, it was otherwise a good instance). I actually made a great choice because a little after I joined social.linux.pizza, the character limit got extended from 500 to 2048 characters. Thanks @selea for operating this great instance!
I became a moderator of @tilvids , help them to handle registration and upload requests. I'm glad I can give them something back for hosting my videos even if I can't donate to them unfortunately.
I made 3 videos about topics you guys (Netizenry and FK) recommended.
My video about Matrix got featured in the @linmob weekly news.
My website FosseryWeb got programming cheatsheets, about page and a meme "AI" as an April's fools joke.

Subs/followers (last year --> this year):
Mastodon: 367 --> 703 (including a big name, @thelinuxEXP )
PeerTube/TILvids: 44/27 --> 72/52
Odysee: 21 --> 61

Most viewed/liked content:
Mastodon - most starred - YouTube vs. Piped and Invidious "You can't defeat me" meme - 30 stars
Mastodon - most boosted - a FOSS news post - 15 boosts

PeerTube/TILvids - most liked - Matrix video - 10 likes
Odysee - most viewed - Matrix video: 38 views

#2024Summary #ContentCreator #Community #Fedi #Fediverse #Mastodon #FosseryWeb #FosseryTech

Hey everyone! This year I didn't have time to make a summary video for 2024, so I write these posts instead.

There was a lot happening in the Linux and FOSS world! We saw KDE Plasma 6 Mega Release, COSMIC alpha releases, Vanilla OS 2 with Debian base instead of Ubuntu, more desktop environments going for Wayland support (Cinnamon, Xfce, LXQt), Fedora Workstation drops X11 session in version 41, critical XZ vulnerability, blue screen of death comes to Linux thanks to Systemd, Flathub planning payment system, various gaming improvements on Linux, GIMP 3 RCs (meme is soon over lol), Ente went open source, some software are discontinued (DivestOS, Nitter, HexChat, ClamTk, Neofetch), Minetest renamed to Luanti, Proton releases Scribe AI feature for their Mail service (beating Gmail in the AI competition), Proton acquires Standard Notes, revamped Mastodon web UI, a huge antitrust lawsuit is filed against Google which might force them to break search engine deal with Mozilla (endangering Mozilla's future), open source password managers (KeePassXC, Bitwarden, Proton Pass) implement Passkey support, Meta/Instagram starting to EEE the Fediverse by implementing ActivityPub support for Threads, YouTube cracking down on alternative frontends (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube etc.), Odysee recovering from LBRY bankruptcy and continue under Arweave's umbrella (also planning to build a Fediverse-like network on top of Arweave), YouTube doesn't like Odysee recovering and limits sync capability also affecting PeerTube's sync feature, and closing the year with a fully revamped PeerTube UI.
