    #Misskey security update. Someone created "instances" which trigger a denial of service in Misskey and possibly #Mastodon. From what I hear, #Pleroma is not vulnerable. #GNUsocial is likely also vulnerable.

    We can expect a lot more of these kind of things now that the #Fediverse is getting attention.

    This is a month ago, but this is a CNN reporter's take on #Mastodon (and the #Fediverse, though they apparently do not yet know that there's a lot more than Mastodon).

    @clacke I agree. I typically want to see what a site looks like and what its users are publicly posting before I decide to join.

    But I also think most existing users of #Mastodon and #Pleroma don't use posting scopes to their advantage. If you don't want unmentioned non-followers to view your posts, choose a follwers-only scope. If you don't want your posts in the public timelines, choose a non-public scope.

    GS groups can usually be joined from any GS instance, but as @administrator mentioned, glitches may happen. #Mastodon intentionally does not support GS groups, and same for #Pleroma.

    #Pjuu ( #OtterSite ) starts planning a rewrite that adds #federation ( probably only #ActivityPub ). Looking to become an alternative to #Mastodon and #Pleroma, while still joining the #Fediverse.

      Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
      from Aral Balkan
      Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?

    Ein kleiner Tipp an alle, die den #twexit vorgenommen haben und z.B. #Mastodon, #Pleroma oder #Friendica nutzen: Tragt in eurem #Twitter Profil eure #Fediverse Adresse im Format @user@domain.tld ein. Dann kann man euch über fedifinder.glitch.me/ finden.

    @lxo It isn't always that way. Sometimes I can see the post being responded to, sometimes I cannot. I often appreciate it when someone I follow repeats the post they're responding to into my timeline.

    But more to the point, people post these "rules" to newbies, giving them the impression that they are doing it wrong ... and that they must shape up or ship out.

    It turns out that most of the rules people post are contrary to the lived experience and expectations of those who were here before #Mastodon.

    I think some of the confusion is intended. When the grand poobah of #Mastodon refers to "the Mastodon network" instead of the #Fediverse, and is also the admin of Mastodon\.social, it is only natural that people who see this get everything confused.

    @lxo I'm guessing that's the MastoSoc user asking Gargron for democratically chosen rules. I'm sure there are some such instances in #Mastodon land, or least there were in the past.

    Apparently, tens of thousands of panicked #Twitter users have rushed to join the #Fediverse (primarily #Mastodon servers, it sounds like).

    There have been reports of employees misusing supposedly private direct messages for years, so it isn't like Elon Musk can suddenly reach into the database and pull up your nude selfies. He hasn't even bought the company and assumed control yet.

    Because I could

    I keep thinking about a couple #Twitter threads criticizing #Mastodon (the #Fediverse, really) for being inherently different than closed commercial platforms using far-fetched hypotheticals and extraordinary occurrences; while I do not want to make a useless point-by-point response, instead I'll tell you what I like about federated social media and #Friendica in particular.

    After #Facebook froze my account for using a pseudonym (a spottily enforced rule), I started hosting my own #Diaspora pod because I could.

    I didn't know anyone so I initially made contacts with other podmins and progressively extended my circle through shared posts. This is how I learned about #Friendica, a platform that was compatible with both #Diaspora and #OStatus (#GNUSocial, #StatusNet ) because it could.

    Written in #PHP, liked both the multi-protocol approach and that I could contribute code to it. So I started hosting my #Friendica node and I kept following the same Diaspora accounts, because I could.

    When #Mastodon was first released based on OStatus, I started following several accounts on there because I could. When #ActivityPub was released and supported by Mastodon, we followed suite a few months later, because we could.

    With popularity came the right-wing trolls and free speech extremists who organized their own federated instances, but they never bothered me much as I blocked their entire instance domains because I could.

    None of these are currently possible with commercial platforms. Not all people will end up hosting their own node and it's fine, but the breadth of possibility is what makes federated social network attractive.

    About Abstracts in Friendica

    I've just rediscovered a feature of Friendica, composing abstracts for different audiences. Friendica allows you to write long postings, much longer then the arbitrary chosen 280 or 500 characters. But it also allows you to send those long texts into streams and networks that are not suited for such long texts. For such cases, Friendica has the BBCode tag abstract, you can use to add a summary to the posting--these summaries can be specific for different platforms you relay your posting to.

    So say, you make a public posting into the Fediverse that is also send to Twitter by Friendica. Instead of hoping that Friendica does shorten the text correctly for Twitter (it tries to do so) you can define the content send over to the land of the 280 character yourself. Just add an [abstract=twit]This is the message for Twitter[/abstract].

    In addition, you can set a general abstract for the ActivityPub network with [abstract=apub]This will the abstract for AP platforms[/abstract] (the result is called Content Warning / CW on other platforms in the Fediverse). And best of all, you can combine the two 😀

    As illustration, here is the posting I just wrote. It is not that long, but it was too long for Twitter; so the extra abstract was added.

    [abstract=twit]Lorenz hat Micha mal Löcher in den Bauch gefragt, als sie sich das #Fediverse (#Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Mastodon, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma) in der 1. Staffel von "Besser" angeschaut haben. https://besser.demkontinuum.de/2021/12/das-fediverse-als-chance/[/abstract]

[abstract=apub]Podcast Empfehlung über das Fediverse - nicht nur Mastodon 😉[/abstract]

Auch wenn die erste Staffel von "Besser - Der Podcast" schon ein paar Tage auf dem Buckel hat lohnt der sich in meinen Augen als Einführung ins #Fediverse. @lorenz_mv@horche.demkontinuum.de fragt @hoergen@horche.demkontinuum.de da einige Löcher in den Bauch über #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Mastodon, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma und noch einige andere Plattformen.

Den Fediverse Account des #Podcast findet ihr hier: @besser@horche.demkontinuum.de


    BTW Friendica offers several addons providing tools for users to define what postings should be filtered/collapsed in their streams. By length, language, filtered words. This is the reason why abstracts are mostly used for outgoing communication but not on Friendica itself.

    What do you hope for from your favorite decentralized network in 2022?

    He asks in the context of #safenetwork (the product that #maidsafe has been working on for years), but it is a good question to ask about #GNUsocial, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Zap, #Diaspora, #Matrix, #XMPP, and more.
