Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle ganz herzlich bedanken bei den lieben Seelen, die sich aufgrund meines traurigen Tröts der Nacht bei mir gemeldet haben und mir wirklich warme, ermutigende Worte haben zukommen lassen.

Es tut gut zu wissen, dass da in der Ferne Menschen sind, die sich von meinen Tiefs nicht abschrecken lassen. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Wir waren noch nicht im .camp aber solche Treffen mit der beschriebenen Atmosphäre & sozialem Selbstverständnis sind wohl ebenfalls das Vermächtnis des Widerstandes der bewegung im
Es war jedes mal eine Freude, kulturelle und soziale Bereicherung, sich im Wendland gegen und zu engagieren und mit anderen (für ein paar Tage) andere Gesellschaftsformen zu leben!

Danke an alle Aktiven dort, egal in welchem Themenfeld!

Oh hey, it's my cake day! (Do we call it that here???)

(Technically, my very first #fedi account was on mastodon.host (RIP) from 2018-09-10 until Jan 2019, then on another instance from 2019-11-14 until I joined fosstodon, but I wasn't ever very active until fosstodon)

Also, my confirmation email and my very first post were actually from 2022-04-26, so I'm not sure where toot is getting 2022-04-25 from. I'm guessing the account was provisioned that night, but I didn't get around to confirming my email until the next morning.

So I guess I'll re-toot or link to my very first fosstodon toot tomorrow? XD

For me it was easy to skip Fossbrodon, they were a segregated instance that didn't like posts in another language because the gun nuts running it couldn't moderate those posts properly, uncultured cunts.

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:

1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)

2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers

All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

For now you still need to use the command line to run it (it's easy tho). If there's interest I can deploy the demo publicly.

What I also can't get my head round. Why should Mastodon be anything other than what it wants to be when there are projects in the Fediverse that are not microblogs?

To begin with I'm not against such a proposal, do have accounts on mastodon instance that for example have 5k limit and consider that reasonable and better. At the same time I came from diaspora, and wasn't so much looking for microblogging. In any case I loved twitter with only 144 characters, that at least was a challenge. Also the display toot's up to ~500 characters entirely and than go to "see more" already creates a certain self restriction for toots.

That said, to a certain extent this request is just another nail in the coffin of the idea of a #fediVerse. Same as the intent to create a mega instance like #mastodonSocial. #Diaspora* and it's developers made the mistake to create such a death star, and the project kinda went down with it, beginning with changes in the code like skipping "likes" because of the burden on the server. Anyone who really is in favor of the main idea of the #fedi and #activitypub, and that is decentralization, should always consider any idea, proposal or request in terms of "what does this mean for the entire setup"?

We already had, again and again criticism by the community on #mastodon because it doesn't respect activitypub definitions or interprets them in an uncommon way. Only dominance in user numbers makes that possible.
Like to say, you only can say:
"I give a sh** on common agreements because I can allow me to do so".
Same goes for the centralization of the community onto one (or two) server, obviously showing off with the fact that the main problems and bottlenecks in social networks weren't understood. That's just a childish conservative expression of the view that "big is beautiful" and that you are successful if you become a big player. Nothing new and not even a mean criticism, we humans are as we are and are children of our time. So if someone is caught by the Zeitgeist and fashion of the moment, that's just what should be expected.

For me it's fine if mastodon has a 500 character limit and that it takes a little bit more of digging into the code to change that. In any case I'd consider it a problem if because of that an instance gets blocked by "the founding father".

We truly don't need any kind of benevolent dictator, and fostering and supporting any kind of hard or softfork of mastodon, as well as all the other projects out their, is way more important than fighting details of a project that's alive and well as it is. In that context, in any kind a true hardfork is creating incompatibility with the activitypub standards at that's what we really should be aware of.
Your comment Matthias, as well as mine, is in favor of the fediVerse, not mastodon, in favor of diversity not monoteims. And, I hate to bring it to you but, people are tribal, identify with brands and where raised social walled gardens, so the y expect "eierlegende Wollmilchsaue" and that, as of now, is the platform you are on, so .. let them be, we for our selves will always be on the side of those who reach out to create interoperability and understanding. That's how we tick.

.. my few cents ..

I will be blocking anyone (everyone) who denies Donald Trump's regime are Nazis. - Zero tolerance, zero games.

It is in the news, they're trying to identify, Jews, as a deciding factor if you are employable or not.

ok so when is someone going to build a #fedi dating app? Because that is a sector that is RIPE for disruption and de-enshittification.

(please don't say "you build it then". dude, I can barely write a hello world in php, I'm not the guy to do it)
