CW: Uncomfortable truth about the Fediverse that'll totally scare Mastodon users; CW: long (over 2,400 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta, quote-post meta, character limit meta
When you see it, you'll shit brix: The Hubzilla timeline.
The "it" that you're supposed to see is:- The Fediverse did, in fact, not start with Mastodon.
There was something in the Fediverse before Mastodon: Mistpark was there almost 6 years before Mastodon, Hubzilla was there 10 months before Mastodon.
Mastodon came into an already existing Fediverse with servers and users and content and a culture.
The Fediverse has never been only Mastodon. And it will never be. - The Fediverse had quote-posts almost 6 years before Mastodon.
(Accurate implication: The non-Mastodon Fediverse can quote-post any public Mastodon toot with no problems, and it has always been able to do so, for as long as Mastodon has been around.) - The Fediverse had groups almost 6 years before Mastodon which still doesn't even support groups.
- The Fediverse had better lists than Mastodon lists almost 6 years before Mastodon.
- The Fediverse had reply control almost 6 years before Mastodon where people are still waiting for some kind of reply control.
- The Fediverse had permissions almost 6 years before Mastodon where the concept of permissions is completely unknown.
- The Fediverse had no character limit to worry about almost 6 years before Mastodon came along with only 500 characters.
The Fediverse had 16,777,215 characters almost 6 years before Mastodon had 500 characters. - The Fediverse had full rich-text formatting almost 6 years before Mastodon.
The Fediverse could generate bold type, italics, underline,code blocks, bullet-point lists etc. without any Unicode trickery. Almost 6 years before Mastodon was there. And more than 12 years before Mastodon could even only display that stuff.
Although it should be blatantly obvious: This here is not a Mastodon toot. This post comes from Hubzilla directly to your Mastodon apps.

@Stefan Bohacek @Lentävä Kalakukko @Roni Rolle Laukkarinen Thing is, many expect the Fediverse to be one big perfectly cosy and fluffy hugbox in which everyone is always nice to one another. 100% anti-racist, 100% anti-sexist, 100% anti-ableist and so forth.
Also, they expect it to be only Mastodon. They expect it to be nothing but a microblogging service with no more than 500 characters.
Why? Because it's basically exactly that that the Fediverse has been implied (or outright announced) being to them, and be it by telling them that "the Fediverse" is the polar opposite of 𝕏 culture-wise.
The moment that any of the above proves itself to them as not true, they're so deeply disturbed that they're making a mad dash towards the exit, even though they don't know where else to go. Either that, or they make it their goal to fight for the Fediverse to become what they thought it is.
It's largely because of these people that the Fediverse becomes a minefield for all non-Mastodon Fediverse users the very moment they establish their very first contact with Mastodon.

Corporate social media broke the internet 😭
@taylorlorenz.bsky.social and @chaykak.bsky.social perfectly capture how algorithmic feeds and corporate surveillance have stifled the joy of casual posting. When every post is engineered for engagement, interactions feel performative, and platforms are designed to keep you endlessly scrolling, the internet loses its personal touch. Corporate social media has commodified connection, turned spontaneity into strategy, and reduced authenticity to performance.
:fedi: But there's a way out: FOSS and the Fediverse. By embracing open-source software and decentralized platforms, you're not just avoiding surveillance—you're reclaiming control. You dictate what happens to your data, curate your own feed, and shape your online experience.
Envision an internet where you can share a silly thought, a random photo, or a half-baked idea without worrying about it being algorithmically buried or monetized. That's the promise of the Fediverse. It's not a utopia, but it's a significant step forward. :heart_cyber:

Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!
No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

CW: What Facebook escapees need, and what Mastodon users think they need; CW: long (almost 2,800 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, Facebook mentioned, Twitter mentioned
Two things are becoming glaringly obvious currently.
One, it seems like aspiring Facebook escapees want and expect Facebook as it was in December, 2024, in the Fediverse. Maybe also because that's what they're told Friendica is. Just like Twitter escapees have been wanting and expecting Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) to be literally Twitter without Musk, but otherwise absolutely identical to Twitter. Because that's what they were told.
People don't want something that's better than the original. Because that's different from the original. People want 1:1 clones of the original.
Two, lots of Mastodon users, even many of those who have been around since the second Twitter migration wave of late 2022 (as in over two years)k, haven't understood the Fediverse yet. They think their Mastodon account can only connect to Mastodon accounts, and a Friendica account can only connect to Friendica accounts, and so they need a Friendica account in parallel to their Mastodon account in order to be able to stay in contact with both new Friendica users and current Mastodon users.
Little do they probably know that they already follow users of Friendica, Hubzilla, Misskey, Sharkey, Iceshrimp, Akkoma, Mbin etc. on their Mastodon accounts because Mastodon doesn't tell them. Even less do they know that Friendica is the federation world champion. Not only does it connect to everything in the ActivityPub-using Fediverse, including Mastodon, but it also has more non-ActivityPub connection options than anything else.
Not so obvious yet: If a significant number of Facebook users does end up on Friendica, we'll have a wonderful clash of cultures in the Fediverse.- Faction #1: almost three years worth of Twitter refugees on Mastodon who still want to force Mastodon's culture upon the whole Fediverse. Including Friendica.
- Faction #2: fresh arrivals on Mastodon from Twitter who want to keep living their Twitter culture, and who don't even expect Mastodon to have its own culture.
- Faction #3: fresh arrivals on Friendica from Facebook who want to keep living their Facebook culture, and who also end up angering faction #1 with "long posts" (anything with over 500 characters).
- Faction #4: the old Fediverse guard, especially on Friendica where some users have been since years before Mastodon has even been created, who are being lectured by faction #1 and accused of harassment by factions #2 and #3.
Beware if faction #3 discovers Lemmy communities and starts joining them. For Lemmy's culture is almost identical to Reddit's culture, whether #1 wants or not.

@william.maggos Sorry, but you sound like insisting in the Fediverse having started with Mastodon into the face of someone who is using something that's almost six years older than Mastodon.
Mastodon is from 2016. Mastodon was always developed and run to be a decentralised walled garden. Mastodon has never wanted to connect even with other Fediverse projects that used the same protocol as itself. Mastodon has always wanted a Fediverse that is only Mastodon and nothing else.
Mastodon is deliberately, intentionally making itself incompatible with the whole rest of the Fediverse by a) stretching the ActivityPub standard to its limit, b) outright ignoring it and c) introducing its own non-standard, proprietary elements which often aren't documented anywhere but in Mastodon's server code.
And Mastodon tries hard to keep its users from finding out that there's something else in the Fediverse than Mastodon. It certainly helps that most of the onboarding of new users is done by users who themselves think that the Fediverse is only Mastodon.
Even if someone finds out that the Fediverse is more than Mastodon, they think at first that Mastodon was there first, that Eugen Rochko invented a) decentralised social networks and b) ActivityPub, that Mastodon is the ActivityPub gold standard, and that everything that doesn't work exactly like Mastodon is broken. And all instances that don't act exactly like an instance of vanilla Mastodon, e.g. that allow for over 500 characters or text formatting or quote-posts, is perceived as rogue.
But @Matthias ✔ is not on Mastodon. He is on something that is very, very much not Mastodon. His profile picture should be a dead giveaway to those who know Fediverse projects: It shows the logo of Friendica. And Friendica was not made after Mastodon as an alternative to Mastodon.
Friendica, then still called Mistpark, was launched in 2010, even before Diaspora* and, as I've already said, almost six years before Mastodon.
Back then already, it was not only much more powerful than Mastodon is today, but vastly different in philosophy. Mistpark's/Friendica's goal was not to wall itself up against everything else. The contrary is the case: Even though it had its own protocol, it wanted to connect to everything else out there. Everything.
It connected to StatusNet very early on and took over some of its elements such as a summary field, the same field which most Mastodon users think Eugen Rochko had invented from scratch as a content warning field.
It connected to Twitter. Bidirectionally. Eat your heart out, late 2020 Mastodon.
It connected to Facebook for a few months. Bidirectionally.
It connected to Tumblr.
It federated with e-mail.
The Friendica developers reverse-engineered Diaspora*'s inner workings and spent months cracking Diaspora*'s encryption to one-sidedly become the very first non-Diaspora* project to federate with Diaspora*, long before Diaspora* was stable enough to have something like an API.
And so forth.
The idea behind Friendica was to be able to discuss the same thing with connections on Identi.ca, Diaspora*, Twitter, Facebook etc. while only posting everything once and then to everyone at once, all without having to resort to a remote-controlled, unidirectional crossposter.
And this philosophy lasts until today: Friendica is the only Fediverse project that can directly connect to Bluesky without having to resort to a third-party bridge. It still works like the Twitter or Facebook or Tumblr connection, i.e. you need an account there, but you do not need Bridgy Fed.
This was "early Fedi culture". This was what the Fediverse of 2011 was like, the year before it was called "Fediverse" for the first time. And this was what the Fediverse of 2012 was still like when it was called "Fediverse".

A cool thing about this site is that if it takes seconds hours days or months to get back to someone all is understood

@Daniel de Kay The biggest cultural difference based on server software has to be between Mastodon on the one hand and the Mike Macgirvin creations Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) on the other hand.
Not only do they have vastly different user bases, but they developed independently from one another. When the Mastodon culture developed, those who shaped it didn't even know the other side, so they couldn't adopt any of its culture.
Said other side's culture dates back to 2010 when Friendica was launched as Mistpark, and since that was almost six years before Mastodon, it couldn't be inspired by Mastodon's culture either.
Add to that that these respective cultures are greatly shaped by technical features and limitations or the lack thereof.
Mastodon's culture is largely built around its 500-character limit which is ample for your typical phone-wielding Mastodon user. Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) don't have any defined character limit whatsoever, and its target audience is largely on desktop or laptop computers, often running Linux, with large screens and full-size hardware keyboards.
So it's the most normal thing in the world for them to write in one post as much as they want while Mastodon users debate whether threads are good, or you should always limit yourself to 500 characters or less.
Also, alt-text. Mastodon has many disabled users, including blind or visually-impaired users. And it has a dedicated alt-text field for each image. On top of that, it offers 1,500 characters for each alt-text which, in connection with the 500-character limit for toots, has people write detailed image descriptions and explanations and put them into the alt-text. That's often information that doesn't even belong in alt-text, but there's no room for it elsewhere.
Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have unlimited room, so putting stuff into alt-text because the post text is too limited seems ridiculous. But they don't have a vocal disabled community, so there's little interest in accessibility. And neither of them has a dedicated alt-text field. Alt-text is supported, but it has to be manually grafted into the image-embedding code in the post. And there's no official documentation for that, I think not even for Friendica which is the only one out of the three with actually useful end-user documentation.
It's similar with content warnings. On Mastodon, they're put into the repurposed summary field, and next to nobody knows that it's a repurposed summary field rather than invented for content warnings from scratch. So since Mastodon has a content warning field, writer-side content warnings are huge, but also cause for drama.
Mastodon 4.0 has introduced filters that can create reader-side content warnings, but hardly anyone uses them, even fewer people support them with keywords or hashtags, many don't even know this feature exists, and it's generally ignored because it's un-Mastodon.
The Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams) complex doesn't have a content warning field. Hubzilla and (streams) have a summary field labelled as such. Friendica doesn't even have that; it uses a pair of BBcode tags for that.
And within their own ecosystem, they don't even need it. They've got the "NSFW app" instead, an over-one-decade-old, optional, simple-as-anything substring filter that automatically hides entire posts with all media and everything behind content warnings if it finds one of the entered keywords or hashtags.
So they can't understand Mastodon's commotion about content warnings, and Mastodon users can't understand why they don't add Mastodon-style content warnings.
And then there are all the things that were or are being debated on Mastodon and whether or not it should introduce them. Especially the second-wave Twitter refugees are often staunchly against them.
Full-text search and quote-tweets are being actively used on Twitter to track down and harass members of minorities who have fled to Mastodon. Of course, they don't want Mastodon to introduce either. That is, in the case of full-text search, Mastodon has found a solution, but one that doesn't really federate to the rest of the Fediverse.
Quotes and text formatting are seen as bad, too. Many don't know quotes because Twitter doesn't have them, and so they think quotes could be used as tools of harassment. And both are seen as making Mastodon feel less like Mastodon and more complicated.
Friendica and Hubzilla had all this before there was Mastodon, and (streams) inherited it from its long line of ancestors. Their users have gotten so used to having all this that they don't understand what the problems should be, also because they're so detached from Mastodon's culture. So they keep on using these features unashamedly, even around Mastodon users.
Some differences are rather simple. Take mentions, for example. Friendica has always used long names for mentions, as does its offspring. Mastodon users may find that freaky. Meanwhile, Friendica, Hubzilla or (streams) users may find Mastodon's mentions cryptic because they use the short name. But even they matter.

Coming across some new people, so I greet you with a warm welcome into the fedi(verse)! Check out #feditips if you have any questions for navigation and use hashtags and follow them to get posts outside your following list for stuff you like!
Try to Alttext your pic posts for seeing impaired fedizens.
Also: sometimes your client/app matters. There are a bunch of great ones out there and feel free to test them out to see what's comfortable #newhere #fediverseculture

Fediverse lesson: Alt Text!
Alt text aka image descriptions are an important part of culture here on the Fediverse. Let me explain!
What are they: text based descriptions of images. These are important if someone is using a screen reader. It allows someone who may be visually impaired from still experiencing the content!
So. How do you write alt text? Simple. Describe the photo. Perhaps mention the subject. What is happening in the photo. What the context behind it. If there's some text you should definitely type out. Close your eyes and imagine how you would describe this image to someone!
If you forget, you can always edit your post! And if you feel stumped, ask for some help! Folks will be happy to help.
So whether you're sharing some of your cool art, a pretty photo you took, or a spicy meme. Don't forget the alt text! Folks will thank you! ^w^
