The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:
➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.
➡️ https://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?

OPB statement: Our activity on Twitter
Statement from OPB Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer Morgan HolmOPB
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!

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".

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 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.

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.

Anyone else have good guides on CDN + Mastodon combos? I’m guessing tootctl media pruning features heavily.

CoSocial using Fastly CDN for Mastodon
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.Fastly Developer Community

"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?

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 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.
“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**.”

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.

Yep.
The thing you announced this through: #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse 😀
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.
