The new #spreadmastodon project needs to balance the damage with the good it does with its outreach project.
The wider #Fediverse relying heavily on a single platform, mastodon or instance https://mastodon.social, can have negative consequences. Leading to a concentration of power and influence in the hands of a few individuals and entities. This can result in issues such as censorship, lack of innovation, and a loss of privacy for users.
From esteemed writer Nadia Asparouhova on #substack #notes

In actuality the #fediverse folk stayed true to their word and are now happily residing in the digital equivalent of Canada!
The #fediverse is the home of modern internet counterculture. It's where people come to talk about the great entanglement of hypercapitalism, surveillance states, monopolization, unionization, mutualism and #opensource .
It's where we go to talk about how to get ourselves out of this monumental mess we're in; no shortcuts or temporary workarounds allowed this time.
On November 30th 1999 thousands of anti-capitalist/globalisation activists gathered in Seattle, USA to protest against and successfully shut down a meeting of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Hey all! I’m one of the folks working on setting up CoSocial, a co-op owned social web for Canadians. We’ve got a really basic tech setup right now: a Mastodon install on Digital Ocean Toronto data center.
Official description: "Paktodon.Asia is the online public square for the Global South - a safe 'azad' mastodon server for ordinary citizens, students, and activists, to share, learn, grow, and collaborate in. Though we are all pakistani, Paktodon.Asia is open to friends from across the world!"
Paktodon is an Independent social-platform for the Global South – an ‘azad’ space for ordinary citizens, students, and activists to share, learn, grow, and collaborate in.
Let 1000 funding models bloom the the Fediverse. Here is one, via @timbray:
"CoSocial is yet another #fediverse outpost...What’s different is that it’s Canadian, and a member-owned co-operative. Both of those matter to me, but the co-op part is the real story.
... $50/year and you’re a member/owner, with an account at cosocial.ca. There’ll never be ads. Nobody will ever get rich. A few people might make a living, down the road. You will never be the product."
It's a total pain trying to hunt down your #serialized publishings all over the place in chronological order and in #context when you do that.
Just put your thought into #one_single_post like everyone else or wait until you're sure you've finished what you have to say before clicking on the #publish button, okay? Pretty please?
The #OGB pushes that the bulk of the voice comes from those who run the #Fediverse, the people who run/support the instances. The people who build the tools also get a say, as do support orgs and events, and the users who will be spread widely get a say, but their power is diluted by the much larger numbers involved.
I am able to like posts about and follow Owncast streams (Twitch for fediverse). And it shows up in the stream chat! This is the coolest thing! ty @gttradio #owncast #fediverse
“However, I think that possibly going forward, we might rework the onboarding user experience into **presenting a default option as well as an advanced option, where all that stuff with choosing a server would basically be hidden away from the people who get intimidated by choice**.”
“Among the unexpected sources of support for the magazine was the #fediverse—the collection of decentralized Mastodon servers that soared in popularity following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Many comments on the GoFundMe page mention that the donors learned about the Observer through #Mastodon—where the Texas Observer was one of the first journalistic outlets to set up its own server, @jamescanup said.”
The HUGE influx of #mainstreaming people are going to be bringing a lot of what for us #openweb natives is easy to see as prat'ish behaver to the #Fediverse. Let's keep this polite and try hand holding before biting 😀
If you want people's advice about any topic, type your question and tag it with #AskFedi, which is kind of like a bat signal for advice on the Fediverse 🦇
If you want a post to be shared, try adding "Boosts appreciated!". Some servers may even have an emoji for this such as
#fediforum We need to think about damage and good netiquette, all #Fediverse codebases are open-source.
People using and bring in codebases that are #closedsource are not "native" to the #fedivers. There will be STRONG social backlash about people who bring in closed source into the #openweb path.
NOTE am not pushing this problem, It's what is here in the space, have a blog on this subject http://hamishcampbell.com
The Fediverse is probably the most critical infrastructure to save democracy. ActivityPub is the world’s leading federated social web standard. A large community had given their last shirts to make it happen. It feels like a locomotive which is pulled by sewing thread. Co-organised some Confs https://redaktor.me/#home The next Community meeting is Mar 29 virtually.
#SocialHub is a community-driven space that seeks to promote #activertypub, working with new models of governance and organization that empower communities. It is part of the larger #fediverse, which is a network of decentralized social media platforms that do not conform to traditional hierarchies and power structures.

that's true, mastodon is feudalism and has its own robes and crown. The #Fediverse needs to pull it into the more democratic fold, this is done by doing better on our part, the king of mastodon is very unlike to move without a bit of carrot and stick on the rest of the codebase. This is exactly the problem we are solving with #OMN projects, have been dealing with this mess for a long time 😀
Well I would say we need a unified communication network base on #4opens, and surprisingly we already have this, the #fediverse so #nothingnew comes to mind agen, I only half joke.
Yes, the #dotcons mad a mess over the last 20 years, and nobody who was in their right minds would not push the word together and add the hash ;)
The current lack of grounded thinking about BLOCKING and control is such an ant-social process, when we start to think about groups and trust this can take us back to the more “native” #openweb path.
This survey is part of a #research project led by @__nate__ and me and it is aimed at understanding the reasons that motivated people to using Mastodon, their expectations in doing so and their current experience using it.
This is our first quarterly update analyzing which platforms are growing - esp #mastodon & #postnews. Includes new data on users posting, app downloads & more.
Working on a draft #4opens review of the proposed video conf app, it's not "native". Of course not policing what people use rather outlining good/traditional practice https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/issues/13 My thinking you would be better off using #BBB as this is a gold #4opens app and a good tradition of organizing events for the #Fediverse using this tools so win/win 😀

The #4opens (Open Source, Open Data, Open process, Open “industrial” standards ) are a key part of this approach, providing a framework for building transparent, accountable, and inclusive systems that are ac…
Rozenshtein proposes a solution (of sorts) to the Moderator's Trilemma: federation. De-siloing social media, breaking it out of centralized walled gardens and recomposing it as a bunch of small servers run by a diversity of operators with a diversity of #ContentModeration approaches. The #Fediverse, in other words.
The #OGB project, stands for Open Governance Body. It is an initiative to create a governance body for the #fediverse, a network of decentralized social platforms that use the ActivityPub protocol.
In the #Fediverse we have a good history of using #BBBhttps://bigbluebutton.org/ as it is native, not alien to WHY and HOW we do things. Can understand coming in from the #fahernista and #NGO agenda is a learning curve, good to try to be native to the space you would like to be a part of. Welcome.
