A kind (of) writer
Finally this happened!
#Friendica 2019.01 release now officially supports #activitypub out of the gate.
https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases/tag/2019.01
From their #changelong:
''The AP functionality was tested with Hubzilla, #Mastodon, #NextcloudSocial, #Osada, #PeerTube, with #Pixelfed and #Pleroma.''
Another bunch of users to interact with... a more viable alternative to FB and #Diaspora, because #activitypub (and #zot) is the future of decentralised social net.
Thank you guys,

Wer den Sprung zu #Mastodon übrigens deshalb scheut, weil es keine gute Desktop-App gibt: Unter Chromium kann man sich leicht die Webseite als Anwendung auf den Desktop holen - steht Tweetdeck in wenig nach.

@dansup in hindsight, the great merger that formed GNUsocial is starting to look more like:
* Evan walking away to focus on pump.io
* Matt Lee walking away to focus on GNU FM, which GNU social was created to keep the whole social network palaver *out* of
* #OpenSocial continuing as a GNU project, thus the rename. If I'm right, it becomes a lot clearer why #Mastodon, #postActiv, and #Pleroma happened, and why the # of instances running them eclipsed GS fairly quickly.

Alright, sorry for the double whammy. #Mastodon v2.7.0rc3
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0rc3
Identical to rc2 except for one bug fix, and since they are so close together, I just moved the release notes from rc2 to rc3.

Welcome to all the new people who must have decided that one of their New Year's resolutions was to be on a social network that doesn't suck!

I joined #Mastodon.Social during, what will be known as, the great transhumance of April 2017. But it's time for me to move again. I've come to find #Merveilles.town as a place where I would feel at home. It's also a way for me to find a smaller community while still staying connected to the rest of the #Fediverse. And I look forward to that. So please click the follow button at @xuv if you want to stay in touch.

Want to use a link shortener on #Mastodon?
Don't! :blobsurprised: All links in Mastodon posts count for 23 characters, no matter how long they really are.

In order to fight against #spam, large #mastodon instances should just turn on subscription by invitation only.
Large instances become an interesting target for spammers. Small instances, not so much. Those brand new spam accounts are looking for the largest audience. Since they are not followed by anyone, their spammy content will probably not reach anyone beyond the instance where they set themselves.

The #spam situation on #mastodon.social is out of control. The local timeline is unusable. Makes me really consider a move to another #instance.

I want to know how people are hosting their sites, because if a social network is hosted on #AWS then it kind of defeats the purpose of controlling your data by not giving it to a corporation.

Alrededor de 6 años de feisbuk realmente no me aportaron nada provechoso.
Por otro lado, menos de un año en Mastodon ha enriquecido mi vida sustancialmente. He aprendido más que en tiempos previos gracias a la enorme cantidad de artículos, análisis, reflexiones y material original que aquí se publica.
¡Gracias a los desarrolladores y a la comunidad que hace de este espacio un lugar maravilloso!

Se que a nadie le importa pero, hoy lo hice, como ya lo había dicho y programado para que sucediera en enero de 2019, borré feisbuk 😇.

@lain do the DMs between #Mastodon and #Pleroma conform to the AP spec? What I mean is, If AppX implemented the AP spec in full, would users on an instance of AppX be able to send DMs to users on Mastodon and Pleroma instances and vice-versa?
