I am part of the ieji.de instance using a forked android app called Moshidon to access it.
You may belong to another such instance using a different app to access it.
Our instances can communicate with each other, but others may not based on their their scope and level of privacy.
Together, you and I belong to the independent and completely decentralised network known as Fediverse.
This is not Facebook. This is not Twitter. No one can own the Fediverse. You can build new instances and new platforms, or you can be a member or just a spectator. The choice is yours.

I have exciting news to share!! 
It looks like we're finally gearing up to start migrating people over into @Mastodon's new @zulip instance for certain parts of our community next week (#MastoAdmin #FediAdmin #FediDev #Mod etc.)! It has been a long time in the making and I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm so glad we're finally going to start getting people in there <3 We'll start by beta testing with a few individuals next week to make sure everything is ready for a larger wave of people to join <3 <3
More on #DefaultServerRecommendations soon too — stay tuned!

I just deleted my 19 year old #Reddit account.
It's not the first social media account to go. A few years ago I deleted my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts when I realized that time spent there was wasted, not utilized. Somehow, I convinced myself that Reddit was different. But the truth is that it's not.
🌟 Friendica-Plausch am Samstag, 31.10.2026 🌟
Du bist neu bei Friendica, nutzt es schon eine Weile oder möchtest einfach noch mehr über die vielen Möglichkeiten dieser Anwendung erfahren? Dann schau doch beim wöchentlichen Friendica-Plausch vorbei! 😊
Jeden Samstag um 14 Uhr lädt @feb zu einer lockeren Online-Runde rund um Friendica ein.
Friendica ist ein Teil des Fediverse und kann sehr gut mit vielen anderen Anwendungen im Fediverse kommunizieren. 🌐 Dabei bietet Friendica selbst eine ganze Menge nützlicher Funktionen, die man manchmal erst nach und nach entdeckt.
💬 Was kann Friendica eigentlich alles?
🔎 Wo verstecken sich praktische Funktionen?
💡 Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es beim Vernetzen mit anderen Fediverse-Diensten?
❓ Wie funktioniert dieses oder jenes?
🤝 Welche Erfahrungen und Tipps haben andere Nutzerinnen und Nutzer?
Beim Friendica-Plausch gibt es kein festes Programm und keine „dummen Fragen“. Es geht ums gemeinsame Entdecken, Ausprobieren, Fragenstellen und Erfahrungen austauschen.
Gerade wer neu auf einer Friendica-Instanz ist, kann hier schnell viele hilfreiche Informationen bekommen und andere Menschen kennenlernen. Deshalb auch eine besondere Einladung an unsere neuen Nutzer wie James Bont und lexe – und natürlich an alle anderen, die gerade erst Friendica und das Fediverse für sich entdecken. 😊
Und wie es sich für einen echten Plausch gehört: Manchmal schweifen die Gespräche auch ganz entspannt in andere Themen ab. 😉 Genau das macht diese Runde so angenehm und abwechslungsreich.
📅 Samstag, 31.10.2026
🕑 14:00 Uhr
💻 Online

Friendica hat viele Möglichkeiten – und gemeinsam lassen sie sich oft viel leichter entdecken. Also einfach vorbeischauen, mitfragen, zuhören und mitplaudern. ☕😊

"My Front-Row Seat to the Making of Michael Wolff—and the #Epstein Predators"
I attended their schools, went to their parties ..It’s time to talk about what I saw. Some may get mad, I’m naming names. If they do, too fucking bad. They took a path that's brought us to the brink

MAU are tanking across every major platform and nobody wants to say what's obvious — the corporate social media model is broken.
People are sick of being fed algorithmic garbage and influencer ads disguised as content.
The fediverse is what social media was supposed to be.
Human connections.
No gamification.
No bullshit.
GotoSocial, Loops and Piefed aren't just part of the next chapter — we're writing it.
🚀
A snapshot of today's lucrative bullshit game.

A useful book for putting this variety of influencer (Blumenthal) into perspective is here:
https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/279582/the-spy-and-the-traitor-by-macintyre-ben/9780241972137
A true story which more than painting one side this way or that, exposes the time-honoured (and some highly creative) methods by which 'influencers' are influenced.
You will never look at anyone in power the same again.
I'm thinking about creating my child accounts on #loops and/or #peerTube instead of doing that on YouTube or TikTok - of course. For creating content as well.
But what about child protection?
As far as I can see, there is none built-in at all, right!? Is this a thing even in the #fediverse? This important topic is getting more and more attention in the recent past - which is good - but what are you doing or planning about it? Is there something I missed?
Sincerely

[view on social.lol]On Taking Care of The Self
It is with a slow dawning that I have come to notice, day after day, the multitude of unspoken assumptions that haunt me like ghosts, ever present yet scarcely acknowledged. They're the soft, invisible mandates that require me to approve of particular narratives, to the quiet adoption of certain scripts that have become, in our present age, almost cultural orthodoxy. Among these scripts, perhaps the most ubiquitous is the well‑intentioned, if not occasionally perfunctory, messaging of […]

https://about.fediway.com looks like an interesting project, if you use multiple different federated networks.
But this animation looks like a scene from a war. Which, yeah, maybe accurate.
My new YT video is up!
It's about a new app called 'Orange Bible' which lets people earn satoshis (the smallest unit of bitcoin) for Bible Study, among other things.
Be aware that I do make a few sarcastic jokes about religion in this one, so just putting out that warning. If you can't tolerate religious humor, that's perfectly okay, just maybe skip this particular video.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of running a fediverse server for the past four years, from @gfsc.
"Rather than getting mad at Bluesky for taking over the debate, the fediverse needs to look at itself and ask who it’s including, who it’s excluding, and how it can actually become a transformative social network, rather than a technological toy for computer programmers."

https://openpetition.de
no longer click the #X logo as it was for a long time.
Instead, the pioneers of #citizenparticipation have now even added a share button / #ShareButton to their petition pages, allowing users to share their own signature on #Mastodon as well.
Very good. 👍

New YT video is up!
My topic this week is about Polymarket using fake viral influencer videos in order to build up hype for their platform, as well as touching on the budding regulation of prediction markets and dangers of gambling on these platforms.
If you enjoy the video, please take a moment to give it a like. This is a great, free way to help a small creator.

"Discourse on how these new open social networks should function are often framed in terms of ‘decentralization’, but I think that term has become a container that people can just project any property they like upon."

Blue against the night.
A tuk-tuk beside Chiang Mai’s old city wall. The blue LED glow against centuries of history is what caught my eye.
