  3. CW: Bluesky's outage as seen by the Fediverse; CW: eye contact
    I've read that Bluesky is offline. I can't impossibly not spork that. So have a double feature.

    [spoiler=Caution: Images hidden due to eye contact]



    Explanation


    The first image is based on the "Dr. Evil Air Quotes" meme. The second image is based on the "Oh No! Anyway" meme template.

    On November 14th, 2024, Bluesky's main instance, bsky.social, went offline. Effectively, this meant that Bluesky as a whole went offline because bsky.social is the one instance were practically everyone is. Hardly anyone knows that other so-called PBS's exist, and Bluesky is frequently considered to be not decentralised at all.

  4. CW: Meme: Fediverse server requirements; CW: eye contact, crying, anger, Japanese profanity
    Ever wondered why the "Facebook alternative" side of the Fediverse is easy to deploy and so lightweight in spite of its feature wealth?

    [spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to eye contact, crying, anger and Japanese profanity]

    Explanation:


    This image is a collage based on various memes.

    The top row makes use of Wojaks, it basically is a Wojak comic. The two Wojaks on the right are Soyjaks, the third one from the left is essentially the same combination of a Soyjak and a Crying Wojak as seen in the Soyjaks vs Chads format. "Baka", as said by the Soyjak in the top right, is Japanese for "idiot" and hints at Misskey, as well as large parts of its target audience, being Japanese. It has become a meme of its own.

    The bottom row re-uses the "Moth Lamp" meme. This time, however, "lämp", intentionally spelled with an umlaut as per the meme, does not mean a light source. Instead, it stands for a so-called "LAMP stack" which is the bare minimum Web server equipment.


    The three Fediverse server applications represented as moths in the bottom row, captioned with "LÄMP", are Friendica, a very powerful Facebook alternative created by Mike Macgirvin in 2010, Hubzilla, a very versatile and extremely powerful "federated content management system" which Mike Macgirvin himself created from 2015 out of his own Friendica fork, and the intentionally nameless application in the streams repository from 2021, itself at the end of a long line of forks by Mike Macgirvin again, starting at Hubzilla. None of the four have any exotic or heavy-weight server software requirements. They need JavaScript for parts of the UI, but otherwise, they can run on a bone-stock Web server, requiring remarkably few CPU and RAM resources.

    The four projects in the top row, on the other hand, have more exotic and/or heavy-weight requirements.

    The one in the top left is diaspora* from later in 2010 than Friendica, the only one in the image that does not support ActivityPub at all (it is only connected to the few Fediverse projects which support its own protocol, including Friendica and Hubzilla). diaspora* and Mastodon next to it are both written in Ruby on Rails. Thus, they require more hardware resources per user identity than the three at the bottom while not even nearly offering the latter's features.

    Next to them, Pleroma from 2016 is famous for being much more lightweight than Mastodon while still offering more. But it is written in the fairly exotic Elixir language. Also, it can't use MySQL; it is only compatible with more complex PostgreSQL. In the meantime, Misskey, which dates back to 2014, is entirely based on JavaScript: It is written in Microsoft's TypeScript with Vue.js for the frontend. Let's say there's a reason why the former Firefish fork and now Misskey fork Iceshrimp is currently being re-written from scratch in C# as Iceshrimp.NET.

  6. CW: The Fediverse wants Lööps; CW: eye contact, food
    [spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to eye contact and food]

    Explanation:


    The image is based on the "Cats Wanting Fruit Loops" meme template and the "Brother, May I Have Some Oats?" copypasta.

    It references Loops, the federated TikTok alternative recently announced by @dansup, also creator of the Instagram alternative Pixelfed and the Android app Fedilab.

  7. CW: Meme: Jeremy Clarkson speaking for Hubzilla and (streams) concerning Fediverse spam; CW: eye contact
    [spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to eye contact]

    Explanation:


    The image is based on the "Oh No! Anyway" meme template.

    It takes a jab at how vulnerable to spam especially Mastodon is while Hubzilla and (streams) are very resilient against it. Mastodon and other Fediverse projects have suffered from several waves of spam, one of which is on-going, but Hubzilla and (streams) have never been affected. There are various reasons for this.

    One reason is the option to be notified if mentioned by a non-connection out of the blue. On Mastodon, this option is on by default, and next to nobody turns it off. On Hubzilla and (streams), this option is off by default, and hardly anyone turns it on.

    Another reason is because both Hubzilla and (streams) have very advanced permissions systems with over a dozen parameters. For example, on Mastodon, anyone whom you follow can send you their posts and their boosts, and anyone can reply to your posts and send you DMs. The only countermeasures are muting them, blocking them, blocking their entire instance or having the admins or mods take care of them.

    Hubzilla and (streams), in contrast, have vastly more powerful means of self-moderation. They have separate permissions settings for others to send posts, reply to posts and send DMs, amongst other permission settings. These permissions can be generally restricted for the whole Hubzilla or (streams) channel and then granted to certain contacts, keeping non-contacts out. Ignoring and blocking come on top as last resorts.

    And this is only what users can do. Admins have some other tricks up their sleeves.

    Lastly, it's very unlikely that someone will use Hubzilla or (streams) to send spam and even less likely that a bot will use Hubzilla or (streams) to send spam. You can't just create an account and spam away like on Mastodon. It's more likely for public instances of Hubzilla or (streams) to have registration approval than for Mastodon instances. Also, you have to create a channel to be able to post from it; not your account is your identity with everything in it, but your channel is. This is an extra obstacle. Lastly, while almost the entire rest of the Fediverse defaults to posting in public, both Hubzilla and (streams) default to posting privately to to certain contacts, changing which is anything but straight-forward.

  9. CW: Meme: Me trying to retell the whole history of Mike Macgirvin's Fediverse creations from Mistpark to Forte; CW: eye contact
    [spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to eye contact]

    Explanation:


    The image is based on the "Pepe Silvia" meme template.

    It references the complexity of the history of Fediverse server applications created by @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ which started in July, 2010 with the release of Mistpark, known today as Friendica. It led through a maze of forks, all created by Mike from his own works, to his most recent project, Forte, from August, 2024. The only other two survivors from this history are Hubzilla from 2015 and the streams repository from 2021. In fact, the streams repository itself adds to the complexity of the history because it is not a project, and the software in it is intentionally without a name and a brand identity.
