Interesting read by @agx "On a road to Prizren with a #FreeSoftware Phone" about using the #Librem5 to travel to #Debconf 22 (the #Debian conference) and improvements made https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/On_a_road_to_Prizren_with_a_Free_Software_Phone.html #nt

⚪🔴🟤🟡🟠⚫🟢🔵🟣 This is your daily reminder that contrary to the hype and marketing hullabaloo but #Mastodon is not the #fediverse and the #federation is actually a huge tapestry thousands of servers and volunteers and dozens if not hundreds of developers and even more volunteers who have made this space what you see today.

When you accidentally or intentionally spread the misinformation you erode the very foundation of what has drawn you to this place to begin with.

You are marginalizing great projects like: Diaspora — The OG. None of this would be possible were it not for two college kids who had a dream and set up a Kickstarter to fund its development back in 2010. Over 29,000 of your fellow fediverse peers are on #Diaspora at this very moment. (10/22/2022)

Friendica — The one app that lets anyone or any organization literally create their own private #facebook on the fediverse and make it accessible and federated with the rest of the World. It also has very modest hosting requirements making it accessible to more people to host without requiring a VPS or complex server setups. About 6,700 federation citizens use #Friendica each and every day and it’s still in active development. (10/22/2022)

Hubzilla — The successor to Friendica, #Hubzilla took what was great about Friendica and made it all the better. About 2,200 of your fediverse neighbors use Hubzilla every day. (10/22/2022)

Peertube — Calling #PeerTube a “YouTube competitor” doesn’t do it justice. PeerTube is so much more than a competitor to YouTube. In a very real sense it’s a YouTube killer, if only more people knew about it and more people used it. PeerTube lets anybody stand up a service and then instantenously their published videos become accessible to the entire Federation (and vice versa). There are approximately 113,000 active PeerTube users in the federation right now. (10/22/2022)

Mastodon — #Mastodon came on the scene in 2016 and promised a more user-friendly experience. Coupled with some fortunate timing and early publicity it quickly became the darling of the fediverse. It’s certainly the software with the most amount of users. 1.28 million active users back in October, but recent events mean this number is woefully inaccurate today.

Pleroma — Less than a year after launch, disagreements with certain design decisions and direction with the Mastodon project gave birth to #Pleroma, a lightweight alternative to Mastodon that at the time ironically offered a more user-friend experience than Mastodon itself and pioneered features years ago that are just now being implemented by Mastodon and other projects. Pleroma’s bug claim to fame was that you could stand up a robust instance on a single RasperryPi with little trouble. Approximately 26,000 of your fediverse neighbors access the federation from their Pleroma accounts. (10/22/2022).

Pixelfed — #Pixelfed is the federation’s answer to Instagram. By standing up a public or private Pixelfed server you enable yourself (or the public) to post rich multimedia content (photos and videos), “stories”, and more that instantly are accessible to the rest of the federation. Over 36,000 of your fediverse peers are here right now through Pixelfed. (10/22/2022)

And there’s others!

Lemmy — #Lemmy is a federated version of Reddit (or Digg or HackerNews). It’s a federated link-aggregator. Individuals can stand up their own servers or communities of topics.

Funkwhale — #Funkwhale is a federated version of Soundcloud or Bandcamp for sharing your music library with other Funkwhale users and the Federation.

BookWyrm — #BookWyrm is a federated version of GoodReads. A federated instance by book lovers and for book lovers. 🟣🔵🟢⚫🟠🟡🟤🔴⚪

Em primeiro lugar quero dizer que admiro muito a @eloisa.

Além de ser uma pessoa que quer o melhor para esta comunidade, é uma pessoa brilhante, correcta, justa e com quem dá prazer discutir questões difíceis.

Infelizmente hoje a pessoa que mais fez pelas moderação do Masto.pt decidiu que não queria continuar. Compreendo-a e sei que foi subestimada e criticada por aqueles que não têm, nem querem ter, uma visão para uma comunidade que protege os mais vulneráveis.

Tirar sarro de quem precisa de aviso de conteúdo por qualquer motivo é fundamentalmente danoso a pessoas que possuem traumas e fobias, assim como outras que não conseguem lidar com certos assuntos.

Tem gente que pede só por questão de desconforto, sim. E não tem problema.

Também é possível discutir respeitosamente em relação ao quanto faz sentido usar certos avisos de conteúdo como uma norma mais universal.

Mas ficar dizendo "nossa, que frescura pedir aviso por X, como a pessoa vive hahaha" é uma atitude não só nociva mas também discriminatória.

Here's my prediction: After Twitter falls apart, Melon Husk will run a Mastodon instance for his fans and claim to have invented it.

Essa coisa do Mastodon, para gente com pressa.

Twitter e Mastodon 101: plataformas vs protocolos

Love the idea that @Raspberry_Pi account is hosted on its own instance running on a Raspberry Pi.

Hot take: #editing messages should not exist. Take responsibility with what you write.
People read and replied to the original content, not to what you edited in later.

This would all be fine if editing was only used to correct grammar or punctuation, but in reality it's used to change the meaning of messages half of the time: by adding new thoughts, or selecting one meaning of an unclear message.

Meanwhile, you can own your mistakes by replying, and you won't mislead anyone.

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

I’m seeing tons of awesome stuff that’s outside of my usual security firehose on other sites

After another long #debugging session with the #librem5 , I decided to publish a comprehensive tutorial for remote graphical debugging with #QtCreator.

May you suffer less, compared to plain #GDB.

A direita defende a tauromaquia, enquanto à esquerda não existe consenso. A classe social conta uma história menos mistificada e menos nacionalista, embora mais realista. Mas tem estado ausente do discurso da esquerda sobre as touradas.

Ou há uma rutura com as decisões tomadas nas últimas décadas ou a extrema-direita continuará no poder em Itália. Poderá não ser durante muitos anos consecutivos, mas voltará, regularmente, cada vez mais confiante e autoritária.

Escrevi uma pequena introdução ao Fediverso, direcionada para os 'expats' do https://blog.brunomiguel.net/post/intro-ao-fediverso/

199,430 is the number of new users across different Mastodon servers since October 27, along with 437 new servers. This bring last day's total to 608,837 active users, which is without precedent the highest it's ever been for Mastodon and the fediverse.
