Why are #Meta wanting to join the #Fediverse? Surely they can bring upwards of a Billion users to their new project without any help. 🤷🏻♂️

Open Letter to #Meta...

Hello Meta,

It has become known you are reaching out to members of our community to hold secret meetings (1), thereby roping them into a conspiracy of silence. This is not how we do things. This is an open social media network. If you have something to say, create an account and post it to all of us.

Asking you to stop this divisive tactic, and release everyone from any and all legal covenants pertaining to #P92 and the #Fediverse.

Buenos días mastodontes, buenos días #fediverse, #tzag 🙂

Das Fediverse, Meta und das Toleranzparadoxon

Hola, admins de instancias de Mastodon! :gif_cheer:

El año pasado mucha gente vino a Mastodon con la fuga de Twitter y muchas cuentas han quedado fantasmas y olvidadas. Como Mastodon no tiene opción de enviar un reminder a sus propietarios he creado un pequeño script que puede ayudar a los admins de instancias a recordarles a esa gente que el Fediverso sigue vivo y que su cuenta les espera para animarles a volver.

La utilidad la tenéis en este enlace:
https://github.com/trankten/mastoreminder

Se trata de un script en PHP para ejecutar en consola, muy sencillito de usar y que se puede programar para enviar un email personalizado a los usuarios que llevan sin entrar más de X meses.

La cantidad de emails se puede programar a voluntad para no saturar el servidor de correo y evitar terminar en SPAM. Cualquier cosa podéis contactar conmigo si hay dudas.

Espero que os sea útiles admins de Mastodon.

The free open source forum software NodeBB is now working on official Fediverse support. Federation isn't ready yet, but if this interests you, you might want to follow their account:

Meta: "MAY I JOIN YOU?"

Excellent new documentation from @kristinHenry and the mods at vis.social -- I wish every instance had this 🤩

Some highlights:
- CWs are content wrappers; used to label off-topic (can add via edit w/o having to repost)
- Timeline breakdown (home vs local vs global) and the utility of 'unlisted'
- Donation link!
- Alt-text and how to add retroactively
- Reporting
- Mod tools

A ver gente del #Fediverso voy a lanzar la pregunta:

¿Alguien sabe si algún fedi admin ha publicado en alguna de sus cuentas que se tuvo una reunión con Meta y algunos de ellos?

Nosotros, los miembros del fediverso quisiéramos saber qué es lo que pasó realmente y si es cierto que se exigía algún acuerdo de confidencialidad.

Gracias y por favor, retooteen.

Ok #Fediverse folks, I'm asking THE question:

Does anyone know for sure if any fedi admin has posted about this Meta meeting with some of them?

We, the fedi members would like to know what has really happened and if there is any NDA.

Thanks and please boost.

Introduction to #Fediverse #Reddit alternatives: #Lemmy, #kbin

I'm showing you around how it looks on my instance and how to find communities, etc.

Desde #hispagatos y #2600.Madrid nuestro compa @n0x se ha currado este esquema para explicar el funcionamiento de las distintas lineas del tiempo del #fediverso. #mastodon #fediverse #fediadmin

So Lemmy just became, in one week, the second software with the most users on the #Fediverse? @lemmy

Hug your #FediAdmin today.

There's a lot of shit flying in the #Fediverse lately and a lot of times perspective seems to get lost. Yes, there are things we need to talk about, and yes there are things we will not agree on. And that's okay.

But leave the pitchforks and torches out of this.

Fedi admins put in the hours and effort and emotion into making fedi happen. Sometimes they make decisions we might not agree with. We should criticize, but we should not pile-on.

:facebook: ☣️ FLOSS.social was launched in the (now small) Mastodon signup wave at the end of March 2018, as a result of the #Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Since then, #Meta has shown little to no sincere interest in reforming their culture of abusing their users' human rights of privacy.

As a result, there is no reason to suspect they'll be any different if they join the #Fediverse, and our instance will respond accordingly.

This is profoundly ungood.

It's really quite easy to migrate to a different #Mastodon instance.

Just moved from mastodon.social to indieweb.social and it took minutes to export and import my follows, blocks, bookmarks and mutes.

And then a few minutes more to set up an alias to retain my followers.

It's not yet possible to migrate old posts of course, but this has never been an issue for me since I regularly archive posts anyway as I don't need my interactions here to be permanent.

❤️ #Fediverse

Dear @stux, if you have a problem with @welshpixie, block their account from yours, not the whole mastodon.art domain with 32,038 accounts from mstdn.social, the sixth largest fediverse instance*, with 199,388 accounts.

You just decided that 800 people who want to follow WelshPixie from your server will not be allowed to do so because you have a personal issue with them.

Not cool.

Please reconsider.

#mastodon #fediverse

ℹ️ As you probably have heard, Meta (#Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp) wants to join the :fediverse: #fediverse with a new project code named #Project92 and possibly named #Threads (https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754304/instagram-meta-twitter-competitor-threads-activitypub).

There are a lot of worries that it will overtake and pollute the fediverse (incl. Mastodon). There is even a lobby started that wants to coordinate to block Meta en masse. Others say that it's a great opportunity for Mastodon and the fediverse to have more users, content and publicity.

What about todon.eu and todon.nl I hear you ask. I like to poll the todon.* community about what to do with Meta when we have more facts, so when we can make an informed decision.

To be continued.
