    Hi again, ich bin eben auf die #NewSocial -Kampagne der #Newsmast Foundation gestoßen, die im Jan. '25 gestartet wurde – mittlerweile gibt es wohl keine Neuigkeiten:
    newsmastfoundation.org/new-soc – New Social könnte den Kriterien der Sammlung entsprechen.

  2. Can we please stop acting as if federation is a silver bullet. There’s plenty of issues it in fact makes worse and is ill-equipped for. Humans are very dynamic. Federation is not suited for government at least in the US. The country is already divided, in no world would I ever want blue states and red states to be able to defederate each other. There’s also complex dynamics such as family. You don’t want to be on an instance where your family and friends are blocked from communicating with you. It’s also not a perfect solution to host a family & friend instance as a family member or friend can get your instance defederated and you lose connections. For the masses it would be better if it was a centralised service owned by a nonprofit that got popular. This isn’t to say federation is terrible, it’s just not the magical solution I’ve seen it sold as. PS. Stop telling the lie that users “own” their connections. You no more own it here than on Facebook especially considering on Facebook users are likely to know each other in real life. If someone moves to a server they’re unaware is blocked by a server that the majority of their friends are on, those connections are gone. So much for “ownership” #OpenSocialWeb #Fediverse #NewSocial #BigSocial #BigTech

  5. I am tremendously happy to announce that my introductory article to the Fediverse is finally completed. I have managed to distill more than 8000 words of raw material into 2000 words article.

    The final draft has been forwarded to my editor.

    I bow thankfully to
    @[email protected] , @atomicpoet , @[email protected] , @[email protected], and others who all have contributed with data or statements.

    I am sorry I couldn't get all the statements in because of limited space. I have genuinely enjoyed their takes on ActivityPub, Fediverse, Mastodon, etc.

    And hubris is terrible, but I am proud of being the first Bosnian journalist (as far as I know) who decided to represent Fediverse to the masses.

    Off we go to the future!
