fridaysforfuture, but everyday
#AlexJones and #infowars got suspended from twitter.
To make this clear:
yes, those few tech bros at twitter have way to much power over defining what is visable to others what not.
That's one of the reason I've choosen to step back from #twitter in favour of the #fediverse.
That we don't need to wait for the tech bros at twitter to kick out someone like Alex Jones.
You're not welcome here Alex!
Neither those #infowar truthers.

If I move pixelfed from github, it will be to a federated git host. I spent a few hours working on this old project 😉 #activitypub #fediverse

@bob I'm not sold on the idea of any one app being the "brand" by which people discovery the #fediverse anyway. There is a crew forming around fediverse.party, and we're slowly working towards creating a newbie friendly portal into the fediverse that's reasonably app neutral, but takes into the accounts the sorts of things you mention.

@vi probably not. Why does it bother you? Replies in your timeline, like boosts, can be a way of finding more people you might be interested in following (or avoiding ;) Hopefully the #fediverse will evolve more ways of sorting the firehose that is one's timeline so it becomes useful for actual work/ interests, rather than social stuff like gossip, trivia, and memes

@demonkind I understand why users don't usually constrain their posting to a narrow topic, unless its a secondary account that's only for this purpose. How many topic-specific accounts do you want to have to set up on a *federated* network? Once you've been on the #fediverse for a while and you start making "friends" (mutual follows who you interact with a lot and feel like you know), it quickly becomes less like a publishing tool (posts on topic X or Y) and more of a social hangout tool.

@LWFlouisa I'm still not clear exactly what the difference is between what 'muting' and 'blocking' do, and I'm not sure if they do exactly the same things on all the #fediverse apps, which would be desirable.

I think I may have come up with solution to the problem of trolls using #hashtag searches to find dogpiling targets. What if there was a way of searching for any posts on the #fediverse using a certain hashtag, but users had a way to indicate that they want any posts by them to be anonymized in those search results? Is there any way to indicate this preference that would be respected by all the fediverse apps?

#Friendica, the open federated alternative to #Facebook, is due to get #ActivityPub support towards the end of the year, in its 2018.11 update.
You can already follow Friendica users through Mastodon using an older standard. For example, the official blog is here:
If you want to try it out, a good example instance is:

Dear Fediverse,
Soon, some venture capitalist will put $5 million into a startup that offers free fediverse accounts with unlimited storage, etc.
Unless every other instance instantly blocks such a service from Day 1, you can kiss your fediverse goodbye and say hello to a new Gmail. Once network effects kick in, they will make the rules.
It _can_ happen here but you have an opportunity to kill it before it does.
