  1. #Platform #operators of the #decentralised #socialweb, like #Mastodon and #Bluesky, can limit #copyrightliability by following the #DMCA #safeharbour provisions. This includes designating a contact for infringement notices, responding promptly to notices and counter-notices, having a repeat infringer policy, not ignoring known infringement, and avoiding encouraging infringement. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/copy #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

  2. Growing up (and even often as an adult) I need to refrain from expressing this interest and it becomes kinda lonely, alienating. When the internet became dominated by commercial interests promoting #materialism and other #mainstream values, I found myself marginalised again, so I dropped out as I had from IRL society. The #decentralised #fediverse seems to offer something like the OG internet and I am grateful for those who develop and maintain it for the #community #alternative.

  8. Todays #Fediverse academic paper:

    openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprin

    Its always rewarding to find papers talking about similar things and contexts to things Ive written about. This is a key reason I dont use chatbots. I value the sense learning and knowing by human thinking, discovery and serendipity.

    I work almost completely solo due to topics of interest, but there are people out there working away on similar things. Ie, #IPFS and Fedverse and #decentralised networks.

  9. Happy Birthday to and with !

    Emerged from the  in 1999 and originally designed to provide an open and alternative to and , XMPP evolved to an independent alternative for todays apps.

  10. @ferret #Signal is centralised and was attempted backdoored by the #UnitedKingdom #OnlineSafetyAct and saved by signal threatening to walk. #Matrix *is decentralised but no #QuantumResistant #e2ee like signal nor its #metadata #privacy or secret group chats. SimpleX has both and more. more #decentralised than matrix. quantum-resistant e2ee, metadata privacy, ip protection, #tor support, no persistent id basically "a burner phone for every contact" dms need invites so less dm flooding than matrix
    Signals centralisation also makes it more vulnerable to total #censorship all you need to do is block signals domains, being a decentralised network SimplexChat has no single point of failure to censor and anyone can run their own relay node
    (ive heard its much easier than matrix homeservers)

  11. The #fediverse, a collection of #decentralised web products, aims to provide a viable #open web alternative to corporate #socialmedia.

    💗 While it has a #passionate user base, it remains a #niche platform.

    📲 At #FediForum, new apps like #Bounce, #Surf, and #Bandwagon were showcased, demonstrating progress in social graph migration, feed management, and monetisation for creators.

  12. It may be a pancake. It may neither have easy support for VR headsets nor guarantee you 60fps even if you get it to run through a VR headset. But it was there before all of you. It used the term #Metaverse many years before any one of you had even heard of it.



    The #Hypergrid, the interconnection between #OpenSimulator grids, is 15 years old this year. And yes, #OpenSim is actually #decentralised like you wouldn't believe. Over 420 big and small public grids and over 8,000 privately-run, home-hosted grids based on #DreamGrid, over 95% of which are on the Hypergrid, say a lot, I guess.

    Oh, and it needs no #blockchain, it needs no #cryptocurrency, and it needs no #NFTs. It runs on the same technology as #SecondLife (which celebrates its 20th birthday this year, as in it's still alive, too) while being fully #FreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware.

  13. 1. #TRIfA and the #TOX protocol. TRIfA is an instant messaging app, it supports video and file transfer, and is cross-platform. What I like the most about it though, is it's network philosophy of being completely peer-to-peer and decentralised, something I think my fellow :fediverse: folks will get. :goose_hacker:
    It is built upon a common protocol TOX which encourages a diversity of developers to build different apps. There are limitations, but like with most open-source projects they are open about these.
    I have also used #qTox on my desktop to keep in-touch with my family. So thanks to all the developers of these apps, especially Zoff, who appears to be the main developer of TRIfA

  14. @titi
    Thanks, for this Fediverse flyer.

    It might be nice to have a translation, but only if you have time. If we do a flyer it will be A5, and light on text.

    We don't want to spend much energy on #GAFCAM. As that may lead us to use a negative tone at a time when we want to excite the reader to discover what they've been missing all these years. Our focus will be on the #liberating and #decentralised aspects of Fedi.
