Hello, World!
This is my #introduction to Mastodon.
I am a German #3D #artist and #creative specializing in #photorealistic 3D imagery.
I will post works and tests here from time to time and chat about CGI related topics.
One of my latest projects was it to re-built a raspberry pi in #cinema4d and render it in #octane
I am also using other 3d software as #blender and put out YouTube tutorials. Mostly for Octane-Render.
So I say happy #federating and a good time to you all! -
Esteemed #Fediverse
in the past days I have read many threads about the importance of facts in social networks and federating them.
On the other hand, the co-founder of wikipedia, Dr. Larry Sanger wants to create a "censorship resistant federated wikipedia". He became an altright conspiracy theorist and is part of Trumps culture-revolution-thinktank.
My fear is that they will not only remove tax status but also target Jimmy Wales, contributors and in the end the org domains.
In the last sleepless night the @skyfaller wrote „Instead of Action News, perhaps we need actionable news.“ https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/114469269759393822
So, to whom it may concern;
In the following first long part of a long thread, I will leave some thoughts about #federating #wikidata and #wikipedia with #ActivityPub🧵 1/10

And, hey, for the record, I left my current instance when there were reports of racism between admins and mods at Eldritch.Cafe. It sucked in many ways. I moved several times after that, and was never quite satisfied with my new servers. Insufficient federation, or old software lacking features that I liked, and so on. BUT, it also showed me what didn't suck about moving around, notably, most of my links to my followers and followees remained intact, and unexpected new connections showed up too. And then, Eldritch got their act together, admins who had fucked up apologized publicly, and those who were harmed by their actions also explained why they were cool with the apologies and the planned, announced changes. And I was able to come back!
So my advice to you, tech.lgbt mufo, is to bite the bullet and pick a new instance. Learn to be portable, that's the source of your power as a person who isn't running a fediverse server yourself! It's totally possible that tech.lgbt admins can figure themselves out too. And if not, well, you've overcome that first hurdle, you've gained a new perspective on the fediverse, and you've helped put pressure on fellow community members to do a bit better by all of us. The whole process of porting an account takes less than 10 minutes easy, 5 minutes more typically.

@[email protected] re: “issue might be with what you're federating out maybe”, possibly except that regardless of what I’m federating out, the point in my reply to @[email protected] is that #Mastodon is still getting it half-right, which is a bug in Mastodon regardless of what I’m federating out.
Either Mastodon should be treating my hashtags precisely as hashtags, (re)linking them to the local tagSpace *and* ignoring them for link previews, or it should be treating them “purely” as links, and not changing their default/published hyperlink and considering them for a link-preview.
Re: “help to have the activities json representation” — my understanding is that should be automatically discoverable from my post permalink, so all that should be needed for a bug report is my post permalink. Perhaps @snarfed.org can clarify since I’m using https://fed.brid.gy/ to provide that representation.
Either way, is there a validator for the “activities json representation” that we can use to test a particular post permalink, have it auto-discover an activities json representation, and report back what it finds and the validity thereof?
For example, since my posts use the h-entry standard, I am able to validate my post permalinks using the IndieWebifyMe h-entry validator:
https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-entry/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2F2024%2F132%2Ft1%2F
Which finds and validates that I have marked up my hashtags/categories correctly.
Re: “@[email protected]'s Mention there got federated as a Link instead of as a Mention (since replying to this post didn't automatically include flaki's handle)” — this too sounds like a (different) Mastodon bug, since I believe @[email protected] was notified of my reply and mention of their handle. Perhaps Mastodon is getting it half-right: notifying but not canoeing¹?
Did you receive a notification in your Mastodon instance/client of this reply and its mention of your @[email protected]? Or only one but not the other?

My general opinion of #threads #federating
Any instance should choose whether or not to federate with threads
They should pay the hosting costs of any server they pull data from
not run ads against the content that comes from other instances
Any changes to the AP protocol needs to be pushed upstream. If upstream is not interested in the change, they need to respect that and stay in spec. We do not need another #Jabber #xmpp vs google thing going on

@lonseidman and I have started chatting a bit about this. Still trying to work out the logistics of #federating with a 3rd-party instance, but I love his content and would be happy to have it shared with our #tilvids community! 💙

@Jodami @ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen At least BlueSky is currently making all the right noises, although Meta's meteoric growth may have practically killed them off, I fear.
Now, I'm only waiting to see whether Zuck lives up to his promise of #federating...

Here's a question... When #ThreaTs starts fully #federating, will it allow user out-migration to non- #Meta instances?
-
So with #Meta confirming that they are using #ActivityPub to join the #Fediverse, can someone please assemble a list of #Mastodon #servers that have confirmed wether or not they are #federating with #Threads? I feel like every Mastodon user should chose for themselves wether or not they want interactions with Threads users.

It's official from Eugen, he's all in on #Threads and #federating with them:

CW: meta fediverse/mastodon drama
Let me get this straight:
FIRST: A mastodon instance (mastodon.art) defederated from another mastodon instance (universeodon.com) because of the following reasons:
- Implementing full text search, which they felt made their users unsafe, and didn't provide enough warnings
- Caring more about growth than carefully curated moderation
- Meeting Meta behind the scenes (you can see in the linked response that people in the Fediverse was not happy with the server owner)
- Being concerned about removing the ability to report users
They also made a blog post publicly stating this: https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/defederating-from-universeodon so it's not like I'm pulling this out of my arse.
SECOND: msdn.social, a big instance, decide to defederate because they didn't like the idea of someone defederating from an instance just because they spoke to Meta.
THIRD: The instance admin from msdn.social has said that they would not block first, but check out this new instance and then act if they misbehave.
FOURTH: lots of poop being flung.
---
This was such a badly mishandled set of events. Here are my thoughts:
* Universeodon can do what they want. It's their instance. If they want growth at the sake of everything else, go for it. I'm just less likely to want to go there.
* Mastoodn.art can do what they want. It's their instance. It's clear that they prioritise careful curation, and it seems they are very sensitive to that. They also host a lot of LGBT content too, so that's maybe where the sensitivities lie. Also, they are anti-capitalists. If people don't like that, they can move (although they seem to be doign v. well)
* Msdn.social can do whatever they like. HOWEVER - their response feels incredibly knee-jerky and seems at complete odds to what they say. Defederating from an instance for the crime of... defederating against another instance and then saying defederation is not the way unless the instance is misbehaving (Defedding isn't something I would consider misbehaving - it may not be in the spirit, but it's within their power).
It would've been better if the admin of mstn.social just publicly critiicised mastodon.art instead for their administative techniques instead of doing the thing they seemed to be so against, and in favour of a corporation (especially with the Fediverse - community full of and mostly ran by average people who are sick of corporations)

@lauren Much more than 1%, but yes, yet the term is normative however, and the same term terminology applies equally to XMPP, SMTP, Matrix, and others, which are not foreign concepts to lay people, so helping to educate our fellow humans to the evil incarnate of the deprecated, privacy disrespecting, monolithic legacy silo systems is arguably a duty to your fellow man.
People can learn - easily. More easily than they, in their stubbornness let on; and do, when it suits their interest.
Perhaps the real issue is raising their awareness to the subjugation they've been hoodwinked into?
All the best!

After a little more experimenting, I find myself agreeing with Kev Quirk (re: https://kolektiva.social/@kev@fosstodon.org/109624807910355004 ) ... A blog doesn't really need to federate. And it does somewhat "split" my identity. Two places to follow me? Where would the conversation happen if anything I wrote warranted it?
Seems better to just post writings & what-have-you on the blog, and if people want to follow the feeds, they can. I can post links here and discussion can happen here.
Keep It Simple, as they say. Easy Does It. Etc. #ActivityPub #federating #blogging

I run my own small, personal Mastodon instance and my federated timeline tab doesn't update very quick, certainly nowhere near as quick as when I had an account with a large instance. Is there a server step I have missed and failed to complete?

#Forgejo is inspired by, and based on the #Esperanto word for "Forge" - Forĝejo.
There is one single correct way to pronounce it, as illustrated in the attached audio clip.
Being a single executable, and completely familiar to GitHub users, Forgejo is literally a drop-in replacement for Gitea, just like #MariaDB was for #MySQL when Monty forked it back for the #FOSS world community from Oracle.
I hope that helps! Enjoy!

## Making Better Use of Space
### Moving that old white elephant in the room.
There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.
What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.
As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.
When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.
Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.
So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.
Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!
There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!
And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.
Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

CW: Flancia
I think there are thirteen months in the Flancia default [[revolutionary calendar]] and they contain a lot of #Federating and #Commoning.

@joshuatopolsky Yeah...
But #Twatter's doin' better now than it has for ages.
I personally wish him well. It's a much better place now than it ever was since he's taken out the trash and is turning the place around over there.
Just the sheer amount of #Shadowbanning that was going on (like over at YouTube) is unforgivable.
It's kinda like when Castro dumped all his prison trash on Miami, we got a lot of those miscreants coming over here - expecting to have their little censorial world replicated here - only to find out that the #Fediverse is actually designed to be censorship resistant in the same way that Elon's trying to remake Twatter... Except it's built into this network from the ground up lolz...
I see morons over here talking about "de-federating" other instances when there's a few people that they don't like, which is humorous, because they're only de-federating themselves into a corner until their instance is left in the vacuum of space while their users migrate to other (non-mastodon) servers and everywhere else people are still communicating with each other.
Now that... Is funny. It just doesn't work that way here #twitugees lolz. Many if those morons have already gone back to Twatter, and realized there just going to have to learn to get skinny with other humans or turn off their phones and computers - either way, they certainly won't be missed.
Here's a good list to select from when those native, once subjugated people figure out how #federation works and they outgrow the meager feature set of mastodon.
Feel free to pass this [short] list around to help them out :

Yes, our pubic launch announcement is imminent, basically coinciding with this next #Gitea release.
Forĝejo will remain a drop in replacement, as we continue to develop out #ActivityPub based #forge #federating capabilities.

I think one methodology we may see going forward might be based on the general conception that #GitHub is the defacto contemporary search engine for #open_source software. At one time this distinction was held by #Freshmeat.
That having been said, #Codeberg and self-hosted #Gitea might become the home #forge #repos for projects, while being mirrored on GitHub for visibility, then linking back to say, the home forges on #federating Gitea servers.
Your thoughts?

@danie10
We can however thank fediverse instances for being accessible over Tor.Really though, the only way to secure a #NewInternet is to make it abundant with quality eppsites like fedi instances, every fedi instance 'worth their salt' ought to be accessible and most importantly, #federating over #I2P.
Even before the UkraineProblem, the #switter debarkle is proof that we must think about I2P #Accessibility and Federation.
-
We may've been too hard on #4Chan, #8Chan and #8kun.
The reason we've been so hard on them is they helped create the #Christchurch massacre, don't federate, have prevented #Tor users from posting images, and hide behind #Cloudflare (so when they cross the line their service is not negatively effected).
Having said that we understand why they might not be able to permit random Tor image uploads.
In all fairness, we hope they ditch Cloudflare and try to be an open, #federating, Tor/I2P service.
