I love the idea of the #fediverse, where there are all these different services that can all talk and share stuff on the same underlying framework. The HUGE issue I'm having is I still have to make accounts on almost a dozen servers to be able to share different kinds of content. #Pixelfed for images, #mastodon for short messages, #Plume for blogging, and now #prismo for reddit-esk news. Whatever happened to federated logins like #OpenID that let me use my main to sign into other sites? 🤔😓
Admins des instances du #Fediverse dans #UE. La #CopyrightDirective arrive, nous devons montré aux Députés EU les effets que cela aura sur nos Internets.
A while back I had to disable HTTP/2 on my instance or it wouldn't federate with #Mastodon instances, which were using a broken HTTP library. That seems to have been fixed since 2.4.0, which was released last year in May. As near as I can tell from my follows, everyone's on at least 2.6 by now, most 2.7. So I'm going to try to re-enable HTTP/2 on my instance, and see if everything works now. Here goes! !GnuSocial
Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.
Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.
They went through the full review before merging. I was not asked to fix them, test in another browsers afterwards. No one contacted me. Just deleted a feature that I really wanted to see and decided to create for everyone.
There's no pleasing everyone. I can toot once every two-three weeks, about innocuous subjects, people come and go. I toot about something important, like pass along advice of atypical reporting method to moderators at this high-population instance, and people unfollow; even my friends, so maybe this is a cue to limit my #Mastodon even more.
I get that #Mastodon has some important problems to solve right now. But I don’t think blocking the entire M.S instance is an effective statement or form of protest.
A lot of those users took a chance on a new social network, which is hard enough to get most people to do. I wager many don’t know (and maybe aren’t interested in) these internal politics.
A block like that seriously screws them, and Masto still doesn’t have a proper, full account migration option.
I have written a #guide to help people who want to run their own fedi instance but don't know where to start. It covers the basics of networking, use of command line, Linux system administration, just enough to get you started.
So if you would like to run your own #Mastodon or #Pleroma instance but you find you don't know enough to follow the tutorials, then this guide is for you.
@Gargron Happy Birthday to you. I love #Mastodon and thank you for leading and sustaining the development effort. A few people have joined Mastodon at my request. I bet if you reminded users to #hashtag interests in their #introductions and to use hashtagged keywords so their toots would be seen more widely, there'd be more connections, and more users, and in turn Mastodon would be more successful.
This is why conflating #mastodon and the #fediverse is bad. People outside the fediverse just start thinking they're the same thing or that mastodon is social. I'm sure there mastodon team is fine with that, but it's not good for the fediverse. We've seen it more broadly on the web with IE, and more recently, Chrome. Open standards have to have a healthy ecosystem of implementations or they don't remain open.
