fediverse
Ich habe eine #Frage an euch #Autoren, die dies hier lesen. Habt ihr im #Fediverse schon mal eine #Leserunde durchgeführt? Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken zum meinem weihnachtlichen Fantasyroman #DasTorinsAnderswann im November eine Leserunde zu starten und mich interessiert, welche Erfahrungen ihr mit Leserunden hier gemacht habt und welche Plattform ihr im Fediverse dafür empfehlen könnt. Ich habe im Moment Profile auf #Friendica , #Mastodon und #Bookwyrm. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr mir ein wenig über eure Erfahrungen berichten könntet.
Good morning Fedi friends!
I'd like to create a custom #Fediverse t-shirt for my upcoming talk at #BerlinFediDay.
I thought of maybe using the Fediverse logo as the "O" for "HOPE". What do you think? Trying to gauge if it's cheesy or not, I'd love some external opinion 😅
Options: (choose one)
littleFedi allows you to hide all posts that have images without alt text.
Because yes, that's how it should be.
Nineteen days before the U.S. sanctions deadline, Autistici/Inventati is shutting down.
For twenty-five years, A/I built infrastructure for people who understood that privacy, autonomy and resistance require more than good intentions. Now a government order has made keeping that infrastructure alive untenable.
There is grief in this. There should also be fury.
Because fascism does not arrive only as boots in the street. Sometimes it arrives as a designation, a compliance deadline, a terrified service provider, a bank account that suddenly stops working. Bureaucracy has always been one of authoritarianism’s favorite costumes. The paperwork looks terribly respectable while the walls close in.
And this cannot remain a problem for “the nerds.” People organizing in every sphere need to understand what autonomous infrastructure means, why it matters, and what happens when we leave it to a tiny number of exhausted technical collectives to keep the lights on for everyone else.
We need to become the thousand servers. Now.
If one autonomous project can be isolated, there should be ten more behind it. A hundred. A thousand. This should be the moment radical hosting, federated services, community servers, privacy infrastructure and collectively controlled networks begin flourishing, not retreating. Build them in basements, social centers, infoshops, collectives, cooperatives and wherever else people can keep a machine humming and a cable plugged into the wall.
The lesson cannot be that autonomous infrastructure was too dangerous to maintain.
The lesson has to be that we did not have nearly enough of it.
We ❤️ A/I. We are heartbroken to see it end this way. And we refuse to treat its shutdown as the end of the idea it spent twenty-five years proving was possible.
Use the logo and banner provided by @subvertising to keep their memory alive. Let's not forget this by next week!
Goodbye, A/I. Not farewell.

Subject: More on Nicolium
For: #selfhosting and/or #Fediverse power users
I've tested and tweaked #Nicolium, a front end for Pleroma and other Fediverse back ends. With the tweaks in place, it works well for me. I'll share some of them in patch form at a later date.
Features include hashtag follow, emoji reactions, borders on focused posts, Markdown, WYSIWYG editor, real-time chat, draft posts, URL cleaning, direct messages, enhanced interaction policies, theme editor with export support, image ALT-text button, profile avatars inline next to mentions, and different ways to handle load or display of new posts.
There is also a multi-column Deck feature, but that is more of a work in progress.
The attached screenshot shows what my tweaked Nicolium presently looks like. The panel at the top is one of the tweaks. I added it to hold link buttons for different purposes.
To see a larger copy, in Chromium or Firefox derivatives, left-click on the image. To see a full-size copy, right-click on the image, select Open in New Window, and resize the new window.
Trick for advanced users:
The screenshot shows a /tags/ URL in the location bar. FYI The combination of Pleroma [as back end] and Soapbox or Nicolium [as front end] displays URLs of this type in response to hashtag operations, but the URLs don't work if you reuse them.
If you encounter this issue, URLs of this type can be made to work by adding the following location block before other location blocks in your "nginx" or "angie" server ".conf" file:
location ~ ^/tags/(.*)$ {
return 301 /tag/$1;
}
This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.
It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.
It consumes just under 1W.
Its database is this size:
-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db
That is, just a little over 100 MB. Yes, MB.
Its average CPU load is extremely low.
It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.
I have 179 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.
I promise myself to use it more, and I will.
You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.
You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.
Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.

The ‘Works on my machine’ livestream describes itself like this:
We put developers and their docs through the test to see how idiot proof it is. Installing their application live on stream for everyone to watch, ask questions, get to know the project and the developer. JOIN US!
See https://womm.live for more info and follow @ozoned@worksonmymachine.live
I’m not sure how this will go, it might be fine, it might be a trainwreck. Tune in to find out!
We're going to livestream the installation of a new PieFed instance
recurring problem: found something interesting on the fediverse, opened in browser, want to go back to the post to boost it, cant find it anymore.
is there a way to recursively search for links? #fediverse i'm using #fedilab

Our services now costs a massive €200+ EXTRA each month
I don't know if #FediHood will be adopted by the #Fediverse community, but I am still doing my best for it. Three new features have been added:
- Emoji reactions to messages (federated)
- Theme customization (with presets available)
- An option to automatically delete your own posts
FediHood lets you build timelines based on people near you and on topics. More: https://fedihood.social/about
PS: feel free to share
There now is a poll plugin for #WordPress that has full #Fediverse support.
Since a few minutes it is finally officially available on WordPress.org.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/polls-for-activitypub/
Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for support the initial development of this piece of software. And thanks to @pfefferle for his ongoing work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin @activitypub.blog !
I am happy to receive reviews and am ready to fix stuff in case issues should arise!

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎
I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.
I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.
Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.
THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.
You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.
But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.
IT'S BULLYING.
And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.
AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.
I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.
HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.
I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.

AND THEN THERE
IS EVERYBODY ELSE 💎
Today I'm thinking about AI, LOL, again, and I think there are actually three quite distinct groups forming around Artificial Intelligence.
There is a small group so frightened by it that they have decided they want nothing at all to do with it. And an even smaller group that has gone further and decided that anyone who uses AI is somehow morally suspect, deserving of abuse and bullying for their choice to use the technology.
AND THEN THERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE.
Most of us are not marching around waving AI banners.
WE’RE WATCHING.
We are trying things. We’re asking where it helps and where it doesn’t. We’re learning what it can do for disability, accessibility, education, writing, research, communication, creativity, work and ordinary daily life.
Some of us will use AI a lot. Some will barely use it at all. Some will remain deeply sceptical, and that seems perfectly healthy to me.
WHAT'S NOT HEALTHY IS FEAR OF A TECHNOLOGY TURNING INTO HOSTILITY TOWARD THOSE WHO USE IT.
AI is still very new. None of us knows exactly where this is going. But I suspect the future will not belong to the people shouting loudest either for it or against it.
It will belong to the much larger group quietly discovering where it adds value to human life. And where it doesn’t.

I TESTED THE WATERS.
PEOPLE WERE KIND 💎
Over the past few days, I’ve been talking openly about something quite personal.
AI is not a novelty for me. It is an indispensable accessibility tool. Because I am paralysed and type with one hand, voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing without exhausting myself.
I wasn’t entirely sure how people would react when I said that plainly. A few people were awful. But only a few.
THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE WAS THOUGHTFUL AND KIND.
People understood that you can have serious concerns about AI and still treat the person using it with decency and dignity. People understood that accessibility matters. People understood that context matters.
And some people shared their own experiences of using AI to read inaccessible screens, instructions, packaging, or simply to remain more independent.
I found that unexpectedly moving.
WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE PEOPLE ARE ON THE INTERNET.
Yet when I actually tested the waters, most people behaved like decent human beings. They listened. They disagreed without attacking. They made room for another person’s circumstances.
THAT HAS LEFT ME FEELING TRULY GRATEFUL.
Not grateful that everyone agrees with me. They don’t. Grateful that disagreement has not erased kindness. Perhaps human beings are still rather better than the internet sometimes makes us believe.
