Notices tagged with fediverse, page 9

I've been using Pinafore.social as my main fediverse app since I switched to a Mastodon account (after the death of most of the Quitter family of GNU social instances). It's easy to look at, easy to use, has some offline support (with more planned), and new features appear regularly enough to keep me excited without overwhelming me.

#HatTip to @nolan for all your great work on this.

"We could tear out the infection. Twitter without ads is not hard to imagine. It looks different, it loads faster, and it does not sell your attention. Communities would still use it to organize."

Those of us in the #fediverse know what it looks like, we're using it right now ;)

"YouTube without ads loads faster ..."

Like #PeerTube or #LBRY.tv

"... but the absence of ad money would deprive its contributor base of their income."

#Liberapay? #OpenCollective? #KoFi? #Patreon?

As much as I don't want a #Twitch account, I should probably sign up for one, so I can stop bugging @corbin via the #Fediverse when I have a question or comment about something on his streams.

What do fedizens have to say about the #fediverse recently?

Have you considered hosting an instance of #Plume, so folks can read and comment on your blog posts from within the #fediverse, as well as on the web?

@lightweight a Guppe server allows the #fediverse equivalent of mailing lists to be created on the fly. Anyone can create or post to a group with an @mention. Check out kittens@gup.pe as an example. Users can subscribe to a group by following the group actor.

♲ @humanetech@mastodon.social: There is a #github issue for #ForgeFed federation in #gitea but the devs want feedback before adding #ActivityPub #fediverse support:

1. Who wants this feature? Personal gitea user / Companies with private gitea / Git hosting website via gitea or others?

2. Why they need this feature?

3. How they want to use this feature?

Maybe you can help them and provide the answers.

♲ @320x200@post.lurk.org: New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS

Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.

The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.

It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (networkcultures.org/blog/publi…)

Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!
