My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃
On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:
🚀 The Future is Federated - issue no.13 👩🚀
"The #Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same."

#Mastodon is the powerful war rig in the #Fediverse army against the axis of biased social networks; #snac is the little buffon back there in the rearguard, playing their old-fashioned lute and making silly jokes.

Ciao, sono Stefano. Sono Barista del BSD Cafe e della relativa istanza Mastodon: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe
Il mio utente Fediverse principale è dunque @stefano
Sono nel Fediverse da molti anni, prima su istanze più grandi, poi in una delle mie. Questa è una mia vecchia istanza, online dal 2022, che ho deciso di ricominciare ad usare come piccolo “diario” delle piccole cose di tutti i giorni. Pubblicherò principalmente sia in inglese che italiano - anche foto o altro. Continuerò a pubblicare dal mio account del BSD Cafe come prima e qui pubblicherò quelle cose in più che sul BSD Cafe non ho fino ad ora pubblicato. Come un diario, un flusso di pensieri. I post scadranno - non so ancora quanto lunga sarà la loro vita, ma non credo li lascerò troppo a lungo. I flussi di pensieri, dopo un po’, finiscono per essere obsoleti e dimenticati.
Per maggiori informazioni su di me e su cosa faccio, ci sono riferimenti sia sui miei blog (linkati al profilo) che sul mio profilo del BSD Cafe.
🌞 Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from Boston. It's 29F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.
Mass. Attorney General Andrea Campbell has proposed a statewide ban on student phones in schools.

After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse.
> The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.
We love seeing the feed shares at #SurfFeeds.
💡 Tell your community to add the SURFSHARES referral code on the waitlist form for priority signups.
We let in people every day, and can’t wait to see what you create.
Ride on. 🤙
Hey les Fédicamarades, on a pensé à un plan d'action pour aller fédérer les groupes publics des réseaux propriétaires (IG, FB surtout) ?
Parce que pour les artistes (spectacle ou plastique), les artisan·es ou les assos, je vois quelques motifs rédhibitoires de ne pas partir :
- une communauté acquise au long cours, atteignable sans effort et qu'il serait difficile de déplacer
- le tout petit nombre de gens déjà sur Masto = difficile de trouver un public
- la croyance que c'est "fermé" (alors qu'IG est giga fermé)
- l'interface en "fil" et non en page (donc pas une vitrine cohérente)

Willkommen ihr Neuen im #Fediverse
Es gibt gerade so viele Neuanmeldungen im Fediverse, vor allem auf #Mastodon. Schön, dass ihr hier seid! Falls ihr euch noch fragt, was das hier eigentlich alles ist und kann, ich habe ein älteres kurzes #Erklärvideo von mir ausgegraben, das einen kleinen Überblick gibt:
Just published a guide on setting up Snac on an Ubuntu VM using NGINX Proxy Manager. Snac is an incredibly lightweight #ActivityPub server. A true nom nom among fediverse platforms.
If you're curious about minimal fediverse instances, check it out:
As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

You know #ActivityPub from a developer view? You want to have a forge that integrates with the #Fediverse? Then maybe https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation is a place for you :) Federation and #Forgejo :)

Exciting update on #BotKit: we've introduced a new Repository abstraction layer that provides cleaner data access. While previously data operations went directly through KvStore, they now go through Repository—improving separation of concerns and making the codebase more maintainable. Don't worry though—there are no breaking changes to the public API that BotKit users rely on!
Key benefits:
Better abstraction over data sources
Cleaner internal architecture
Fully backwards compatible
Check out our docs for the technical details: https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/repository.

Easy Onboarding for new Lemmy users

I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.
It's a bit like flushing the toilet.

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. 
Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

Musicians.Today is a Mastodon server for musicians of all levels, instruments, regions, languages, and genres. You don’t have to be a professional musician to join, but you should at least play an instrument or sing as a hobby.

Ückück und das #Fediverse: Wie gut ist unser #Onboarding?
Gestern kam mein neuer Kolumnen-Beitrag bei @gnulinux raus und ist hier auf dem Communuty-Blog zum Nachlesen und -hören zu finden:
https://gnulinux.ch/wie-gut-ist-unser-onboarding
P.S.: Spannend fand ich ja, wie unterschiedlich das Feedback im Fedi und in den Kommentaren unter dem Artikel wieder ausgefallen sind.
People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.
