It seems like a perfect time to (re)introduce ⁂ as a symbol for the fediverse! Read our proposal at https://symbol.fediverse.info

Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 30F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10 miles.
A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's order redefining birthright citizenship, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional."
Another executive order prompted the shutdown of meetings where scientists review new NIH grant proposals.
The Justice Department ordered federal prosecutors investigate state or local officials standing in the way of ICE enforcement.
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 🙃
Instapix.org is a general purpose Pixelfed server for photos, images and videos, with the main languages being German and English.
This server is run by the Fediverse Foundation, who also run many Mastodon servers such as ClimateJustice.social etc.

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."

Thx to the hosts🥰 @MatthewTitus88 @MirrorAyako @Taweret @analgesicsleep @rsmon77 @hyde @greenpepper22 @kamikat @lilymarswrites @LisaMarieBowman
After @zuck changed #Meta’s content policy around offensive content, I noticed that the number of sites that @threads previously blocked have now been unblocked: https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
Sites previously blocked for trolling 🧌, or promoting vulgar content (like Baraag whose existence is evil) are also now unblocked.
Curiously, all #Pixelfed instances are still “muted,” although #Fediverse handles will still show up on #Threads.
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.
Hey everyone! Just FYI, I am going to be changing my username on here to @ cyberseckyle. Of course, as y'all know, I am going to have to create a new account. 😒
Be on the lookout for this change and me refriending you during the upcoming days.
Thanks!

🌞 Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from Boston. It's 29F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.

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.
