@arstechnica whelp, looks like an influx of new #lemmy users this year.
I for one want to thank all the jack ass social media CEOs for growing the #fediverse so effectively. I only wish I could spit a giant slimy loogie into their collective catering, as a way of expressing my gratitude.

There's no better day to start my #fediverse adventure than on #ilovefs day!
Happy I ❤️ Free Software Day! A day to say a big thank you to all the amazing projects that make our life easier and all those maintainers behind them!
My 2025 thank you goes to @GIMP and of course kudos to my colleagues from the @fsfe. I couldn't be more proud of their work towards #SoftwareFreedom and it is an honor to be part of the :fsfe: team!

So you want to make a difference? Do this:
Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable ethical EU-based anti-fascist git hosting alternative:
Seriuously, do it now.
Volunteer and/or donate if you can.
Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.
When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

No community better than the #fediverse to ask this question
Are there self-hosted alternatives to Google Docs and such?
I’m hoping to collaborate with others with confidence that my data isn’t sold to the highest bidder.
Ease and convenience are nice to have, but privacy and long-term sustainability are my key concerns.
Also, are there paid options worth considering?

"pixelfed is doomed because of the network effect"
"nobody will ever use this"
"he thinks he can take on Instagram"
You have to be crazy to think you can compete with Instagram, even crazier to work on it for 7 years, just waiting for that moment
The moment when people see the value in what you've been building for so long
Never let them win, keep building. If nobody thinks they can compete with IG, nobody will
It only takes one crazy dreamer, and people like you

I spoke recently with Caroline Risberg and Seth Camillo for their “The Internet is Crack” podcast. This is the recording.
We cover a bunch of stuff including the fediverse and the Small Web and I share quite a few anecdotes.

Stories are coming to our Pixelfed app, and they are AMAZING!
Not everyone likes them, and they can hide them if they prefer.
But for the rest of us, you will get all the familiar features like Story Reactions, Comments and even who viewed your story/view counts.

We're not only building Pixelfed, but also Loops, a TikTok alternative!
We need your support now more than ever, please spread the word about our Kickstarter!
The future is federated, and belongs to the people.
Boost if you agree ✨

Wops, I accidentally blocked mastodon.social for a second here on the fediverse.
My apologies to anyone who followed me and got caught in the crossfire, I lost about 100 followers in the process.
I was trying to block a user and misclicked without paying attention
So sorry for the inconvenience!
Sending you all on mastodon.social lots of love! ❤

This idea is a bit premature but I have decently functioning prototype. What does the #fediverse think of federated gaming? A specific implementation is Club Penguin servers that federate user actions and messages so that separate servers can still have users render on other servers. Allows for full Mastodon integration, i.e. CP conversations show up as threads and a Mas user can respond and appear as a penguin message to CP users. Like CP is the front-end client. #clubpenguin #fedidev #gamedev

If societal collapse is imminent, we should all plan on meeting somewhere to start a #Fedi commune. :blobfoxcomfy: #Fediverse

I think you should look up "FidoNet" 😊
Granted, it was "distributed" and not "Federated", but if you compare technologies available at the time, I think you'll find similarities there too.
Regardless, we're moving in a good direction!

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!
Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.
Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

This is probably a dumb question but is it possible/advisable for more people to host their own content? Seems like instead of having giant servers where everyone’s stuff is stored we could all just host our own files and people connect to them? Grateful for any insight into the downsides of doing something like that (aside from having to learn how to run a server) #fediverse nub here #activitypub #pixelfed #loops #mastodon
