#takebacktheweb — Public Fediverse posts

Zulip is a wonderful blend of the good old forums' ability to keep information accessible, and Discord's fast-paced formula; the way it's organised and displayed to the user is fairly unique and slightly alien, but it presents an amazing opportunity to sort and organise the discussions in your community space.

You know how the Discord threads are kind of useless?

Zulip puts threads, or "topics", front and centre - when you click on a channel, you end up browsing the most recently active topic, and see a list of other available topics. You can start and archive topics as you see fit. Archived and resolved topics are out of the way, but still accessible rather than getting lost under piles of fresh messages.

Wow I had to turn off notifications because my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing 😅

Didn’t expect that post to resonate with so many people. Thanks for all the boosts, favs & thoughtful replies 🙌

The fact that this topic hit a nerve shows: people want a better web. Decentralized, open, people-first. Let’s keep building it together 💪

#Fediverse #TakeBackTheWeb #OpenSource

The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

Are you sick and tired of websites, especially technical ones that have complicated commands or code snippets, preventing you from copy/paste? Here's a fix that website owners HATE!

Open Firefox (because you shouldn't be using anything else), and in the Awesomebar, type in "about:config" and press enter. Accept the warning. Search for the option "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" and set that sucker to FALSE.

Take back the web!

@maestrapaladin Creo que estás formando algo bello en torno al tema de las webs estáticas (¿ #TakeBackTheWeb ?) y me gustaría formar parte, pero también pienso que ahora mismo somos mucha gente dispersa y puede ser difícil tener a mano un punto de encuentro donde quienes queramos estar en el ajo compartamos ideas y sabiduría. ¿Cómo podríamos darle forma a esto de forma que nadie se nos pierda?

What have we done?! We’ve signed up to Facebook, the site formerly known as Twitter, GMail, Medium and all the other convenient services. Now our lives are full of shitty ads and we’re being tracked wherever we go. I know I'm preaching to the choir here on mastodon, but I thought I'd take a step in the right direction and started my own blog on my own domain again. Let's take back the web! https://markus.hofer.rocks/ #rant #takebacktheweb

I'm constantly amazed by the declining quality of the average webpage. It feels like they exist solely for hosting ads and featuring minimal SEO-optimized content to lure in click-hungry visitors.

Remember when we dreamt of micropayments? Sadly, it's not a profitable venture for big corporations.

It's time we reclaim the web and prioritize content and user experience over ads.

I gave a random person on the internet a compliment today, and they were flabbergasted. I guess the internet has become synonymous with hatred and complaining as of late, so I'm going to launch a #TakeBackTheWeb campaign.

You can be part of the revolution. Just give a random person on the internet a #compliment today. Try it!

And if you liked doing so, try again tomorrow, and the day after, and every day after that.

Say I wanted to move my own blog off medium - are there any good open source frameworks out there? preferably for react or next? Back in my indie days I wrote my own blog in PHP, but I think times have moved on... #takebacktheweb #bringbackblogs

"Bring back blogs" sounds like a really good idea! - What have I gotten myself into over the years? I'm being fed one idiotic clickbait story after another on facebook and google news - I'm going back to RSS, follow interesting people who write about things they care about simply because they care about them - not for clicks, not for the ad money, just because they're awesome people! I've you've got a blog, hit me! https://bringback.blog #takebacktheweb #bringbackblogs

Jeg bliver sgu helt begejstret over, at der er kommet så meget ild i Mastodon og, at folk begynder at undersøge hvad fediverset er for noget. Siden 2017 har jeg været uendeligt perifert aktiv i, samt for mine medmennesker sikkert meget aktiv og irriterende proselyt for, Indieweb-bevægelsen. 1/4

If Chromium continues without competition, there won’t be much of a free web in the future. That’s why I appeal to you, a Chromium browser user, to consider trying Firefox, and you Firefox user, pass on this message.

Donc la censure généralisée qui règne sur les grandes plateformes nuit à la liberté d’expression de tous (et en particulier des minorités et des opprimés), mais n’empêche en rien l’extrême-droite de se développer… On ne va pas faire comme si ça nous étonnait ! #TakeBackTheWeb
