The size of mastodon.social is breaking the moderation story of the #Fediverse.
Moderation on fedi relies on:
1. instance admins and moderators being able to manage bad actors on their own instance;
2. instance admins being able to silence or defederate from insufficiently moderated instances.
Mastodon.social's size and the speed new accounts are set up there means that 1. is very difficult. The size of m.s. and the clout of some of its users means 2. is a hard decision.
Well well well if it isn't cryptocurrency spam coming from the biggest, open instance on the #Fediverse. 👀
I wonder if this is at all related to challenges with moderating an instance of *checks notes* 200k active accounts? Or with moderating new accounts on the only instance actively promoted in the official apps? 
Thankfully we can always defederate! What's that? It's the biggest instance so there are real concerns about a lot of people losing connections? Whodda thunk it!
@Igor Warneck @👤 𝟳𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 ✅🖖🇨🇮🔒 Genau weil mastodon so murksig ist, verwenden wir es nicht.
Dieses #fediverse wird sich nicht an dich anpassen ... das musst du schon auch selbst gebacken kriegen. ;)
#fediverse we are going to have waves of #mainstreaming people coming into "our" #openweb counter currents, bringing a lot of non-native, unthinking blinded mess with them, they will push this mess over us as common sense then they will retreat back to #mainstreming and point at us covered in mess... "look these guys are covered in mess we can't work with them...
Yes this is bad behaver, ideas please?
I understand preventing harassment and dealing with content that's illegal, but the #fediverse is part of the #openweb. should we also be policing the truth of what people put up on their own websites? Instances must have their own standards but a social web where it's hard to post unpopular perspectives and have the potential to reach a wide audience (via strict content policing and fediblocks) will be very bad for democracy.
The only two design choices available aren’t “funnel everyone to mastodon.social” or “present a list of thousands of servers.” The default button could automatically round-robin a large list of servers that are known to be run by good actors. This is a solved problem. The solution is not being used, in this case, because, clearly, mastodon.social does want to grow.

We need responsible people to STOP pushing only #Mastodon as this is not helping, just look at the SPAM currently spewing from this process. With this mess we are building a codebase and an instance that are "too big to fail" this is absurdly stupid and not needed.
Please link and talk about the #openweb or the #fediverse to start to compost the mess you are making, thanks.

With pandemic-related things calming down a bit, and especially with the surge in fediverse use over the last 6 months, it seems like a good time to regroup. Would anyone be interested in attending an online fediverse conference, or helping to organise one?

The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:
➡️ fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.
➡️ fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.
If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.
it's not, but people keep pushing it in... #diaspora is from the #encryptionists agenda where the #Fediverse is #4opens
Mess and composting comes to mind.
So, what really *is* the fediverse? Is Diaspora part of it?

There's a lot of great explanation sites about the fediverse and its various communities, and I wanted to take a stab at this myself.
The site (very much work in progress) is aimed at a more casual audience. Let me know what you think!

Spammers being spammers, they're currently creating the same accounts over multiple instances and mass follow people. A github issue has been opened to find a way to block such accounts.

While I'm not inherently against competing protocols, it's really hard to see BlueSky as anything other than an attempt to (a) keep the fediverse from succeeding, and (b) taking over a "growing market".

Spread Mastodon
Our mission is to take back social by helping people create a Mastodon account and fill it with content they love.Spread Mastodon
Projects are all based on ideology- #BlueSkySocial is capitalism, monetization is a core priority, just like twitter they are leaving it out at the start as the usual #dotcons bait and switch.
The tech might be different, but the world view is #nothingnew in a bad way.
The #Fediverse is built on a different world-view which is why it is important, the tech in both cases is secondary.
"All code is ideology solidified into action – most contemporary code is capitalism"
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 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.

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.
How grassroots alts are ripped apart and die sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/201… the is a long history to this problem we are seeing now with the #activertypub movement that built the #Fediverse good not to be blind to this mess making

I posted about #CoSocialCaTechOps exploring using Fastly as a CDN to the new #Fediverse category of their developer community site community.fastly.com/t/cosocia…
Anyone else have good guides on CDN + Mastodon combos? I’m guessing tootctl media pruning features heavily.
Looking forward to discussions with the team! @jenn @haubles @simonwistow @anildash

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."

Eugen, please stop #hellthreading yourself, please?!
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?

@peepstein
Really Eugen?
Your interview with Time Magazine notwithstanding?
That was IMO, a grave error on your part - conflating mastodon with #Fediverse and without one single utterance of the word "Fediverse" throughout.
It served to cause much of this confusion on the part of n00bs and as a result, now jeopardizes your trademark.
Fact: There's no such thing as a mastodon network. Only the #ActivityPub powered Fediverse

The #OGB shaping of the "body" comes from a long history/experience of horizontal activism, where "those who do the work have more say." noisebridge.net/wiki/Do-ocracy
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.
