💜 Dear people in the #Fediverse, thanks for all your feedback!
Recurring topics:
- #Mastodon share button
- #Pixelfed as #Instagram alternative
- Use Instagram to point to the Fediverse
- Why be on #SocialMedia at all? (Fair point 🙂)
Next we're taking all ideas to our local community. We're curious what they think and will report back here.
And yes, we're getting that share button!

As a pacifist, what I love most about the Fediverse is how it feels like a shared search for peace. We have Caturday, when everyone posts cat pictures every Saturday. There's Mosstodon, which is all about sharing beautiful photos of moss and nature. And we have SilentSunday, where people post calm outdoor and nature photos. Even with all the chaos in the world, the Fediverse has a way of calming my mind.

Did you know you can track network statistics from across the Fediverse?
On FediDB, you can see federated server statistics as well as an overview of the entire network.
As January begins to come to a close, why not check it out to get a peek into how much the Fediverse will grow over 2026? 📈

We can grow something better! #Fediverse Punk Month 🖤
"We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. It feels necessary to be on these platforms to "stay connected", yet paradoxically they increase our isolation. Their purpose is to extract profit, not to help us connect.
Instead of jumping between online capitalist corporate platforms, we propose a radical alternative that's actually aligned with punk values: the Fediverse, a network for open, autonomous, decentralized, not-for-profit, and DIY social media.
The Fediverse is an interconnected network of social media platforms..."

Some people seem to think that there is some sort of right to be free from #criticism online.
You have a right to be free from #harassment, but when you make a public post on the #fediverse or #socialmedia, you are implicitly soliciting public responses.
That you don't like someone's response is not a valid reason to issue a report to the administrators or moderators of that person's instance.
I think I'm on pretty solid #ethical ground, here, but you are of course free to disagree.
Every person joining the fediverse is a digital hero.
You may think it's a small thing. Yes, it's small thing but also a big step to make Internet better and people-first.
Made by the people for the people.
Oh, and also made for cats, dogs, capybaras and other puppies.
So, enjoy, encourage friends to join and let's make it a nice, inclusive and cozy space for everyone.

I had an interesting conversation on here recently that made me realize that maybe not everyone who uses Mastodon knows that you can use filters as a way to add content warning to other people's posts?

#Loops Beta 12 is the biggest release yet, featuring #StarterKits compatible with #Mastodon, Curated #Onboarding for community moderation, and Studio #Analytics for #creators. It also includes #multiaccount support, video embeds, and several other new features and improvements. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-beta-12-is-here/ https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-beta-12-is-here/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia #fediverse #activitypub
A new social me.
How the Fediverse has influenced the way I live my (online) social life now. Especially when you come from Instagram.
Good morning and happy Saturday, folks.
My new YT video is up. After 8 months on YouTube, it felt like a good time to share a few of the lessons learned from my experience as a creator so far.
If you give it a watch, please hit the like button. That's an easy, free way to help out small creators a ton. Thank you!

I wonder if the people at #X ever read their own announcements.
Literally explaining how they sold out and enshittified the "blue checkmark".
This also seem like yet another step towards mandatory #IDverification on social media! (only to protect them kids & democratize the platforms of course 😉)

An #article shining light behind the #press release of a company
@_elena analyses #wsocial with exactly the right questions - " the 5 Ws of news reporting: who, what, where, when and why"
This is the kind of #journalism I am often missing these days - not just telling you what is in a companies press release but questioning everything - following the data & therefore the money
Thank you #ElenaRossini & thanks to @hannes99 for bringing it to my #attention

Build Notes is a more focused blog through my personal business, Stygian Tech designed to highlight how I think about the products I build and the space in which I operate
The Digital Renaissance will remain my home for my less refined and broader thoughts and opinions, but this will be my home for talking about my apps, why I build them, and the like

Meet #Starling, a lightweight #ActivityPub server for the #Fediverse, built with PHP and SQLite.
Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.
What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!
This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!
Kudos to the author of Starling: @df
