The criticisms from this 2022 article are still true today at the end of 2024.
The signup process is too hard and servers are too opaque for users to make good decisions when they come to the Fediverse. One example: some major server instances have blocked threads.net and *then* blocked servers that federate to threads.net. Policies are not evenly applied or even visible to users when they sign up for a server.
I spent the last year working on the Fediverse. Here's what I've learned.

#Mastodon, we have a troll problem.
Increasingly I discover Russian sympathisers and trolls who reply to my posts with content I cannot see. I only discover these replies because other users react to them.
Attached is an example where @Gurre replies to a troll (pic 1), but I cannot scroll upwards and see the troll's post.
This seems to allow an attacker to attach content to my posts, without me being able to see it and block him.
I have seen this exploit a number of times.
@Gargron.

Mastodon stuffed toy
We created a stuffed toy of the highest caliber. Deliberately friend-sized and friend-shaped, with a soft surface material and soft, squishy stuffing, the toy measures a height of 35cm.Mastodon Merch
There's a lot to say about the new #Mastodon version but the most impactful change for me so far is the new boost icon. It now visibly changes when pressed, while previously it would barely change colour/thickness, a difference often too subtle to notice on screens with low constrast/brightness.

Why is this #cartoon from @jensorensen
so great? Because she digs deeper into what is happening. I learned this from her #Patreon page where she explained how this excellent article from Jamison @foser changed the focus from "privileging the LIE" to the history of the liar. #JDVance

Na denn, @Gargron, viel Spass mit den Jüngern von
Olavo de #Carvalho dem so genannten "Guru" von #Bolsonaro .. .
Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.
Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..

These sound like nice improvements.
It would also be nice to not be forced by Nextcloud onto a centralized, proprietary, monopoly surveillance platform to see them.
Peertube is a thing. So is Pixelfed. Heck, even on Mastodon, short videos are a thing.

@helpers I write from my mastodon profile because from my account tness@venera.social all the messages not leave and not happen. Only the RSS that work. My question is :
on #mastodon my timeline is clean I can release the publications of the lists that I want to look at the same time. on #Friendan I ordered my circles and my channels correctly. Is there a way to block or authorize a circle to display publication on the Timeline.

@Flipboard Added a comment about it: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…
It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb
The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

I wish #Mastodon supported the kinds of "starter packs" just launched by #Bluesky. They're a great way to invite people to join a new platform and quickly find people and organizations that meet their interests.
bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2…
I'm committed to Mastodon, but I'm on Bluesky to explore and experiment. While I like these starter packs, I won't be using them. I want to invite new people (working on my topics) to join Mastodon, not Bluesky.
We think this can shake up social media 🕺
