Want to cross-verify your identity on Mastodon but don't have your own website?

If you're on GitHub, you can set up something similar with GitHub Pages

1. Add simple index.html file to GitHub repo
2. Enable GitHub Pages in Settings
3. Link in Mastodon profile
4. Voila

RT @PavelASamsonov@twitter.com

Users are not designers, and "doing what the user asks" is a bad design strategy.

However, I see stakeholders saying this to justify another, even worse design strategy: "doing what the stakeholder asks."

*Everyone's* change requests are data points, starting points.

Currently studying my Twitter archive data to figure out the requirements for importing Tweets to the fediverse. You can see my current rubberducking here: https://codeberg.org/postmodern/fediverse-importer/issues/2

There are now a nice bunch of #climatologist|s here. Also showing how broad #ClimateScience is.

@micefearboggis is famous for the UK sea surface temperature dataset.

@Ruth_Mottram works on Greenland.

@wolfgangcramer is an IPCC author working on climate & biodiversity.

@tasvo is an Antarctic paleo climatologist.

@saravicca works on the carbon cycle.

@arthurgessler studies ecosystem under global change.

@steve studies climate models, but not like you expect. 1/2

#Suggestion: Point #TwitterMigration to the Fediverse so not everyone is flocking to a Mastodon instance.

You see, the network is the #Fediverse, the underlying tech is #ActivityPub (which is a #WebStandard).

Mastodon is, but one of many flavours connected to the Fediverse network. There is no “Mastodon network” or "Pleroma network” or “MissKey network”, they are all “Fediverse network”.

Promote the Fediverse. That is what who we are.

@mike_hales @gert @strypey @lightweight @bhaugen @organizingInFedi @matslats https://webxdc.org by the people behind @delta is interesting, in that it is webapps that uses chat as auth. As I understand, a "server" could be a chatbot sending webxdc apps as responses and handling app responses. If Quicksy support "appears", running community-member-friendly services sounds more tractable than otherwise.

"TikTok, when opening any website in their app, injects tracking code that can monitor all keystrokes, including passwords, and all taps."

Something a bit different today...

There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).

Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.

Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.

If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:

(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)

One of my favorite jokes is about a socialist who's just joined a nudist colony. He sits down next to someone and tries to strike up a conversation: "So, have you read Marx?"

"Yes," replies the other nudist irritably, "it's these damn wicker chairs."

Also, if you prefer to still follow twitter users without an account and without using a bot mirror for mastodon, you can use #Fritter, a pretty decent client for Android that doesn't need an account to work, available on f-droid

For newbies here like me, a very good explanation of what is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse
