#Pixelfed
#Fediverse

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.

I’ve been pretty critical of calls for mass-defederation for political or structural reasons, but I 100% understand the mods who pledge not to federate with Meta.

Facebook, on their best day, is the tobacco industry of the internet. Anybody wants to ban them in this space gets zero pushback from me.

#Fediverse #Mastodon #Meta

If Meta's goal was to sow discord in the #Fediverse, it seems they've succeed - with remarkable efficiency.

The #Fediverse and #Metaverse are like water and sodium. They are fundamentally incompatible with each other and can never be integrated in a way that benefits both (when corporate and community-owned things come together it will always benefit the corporate side at the expense of the community-owned side). Anyone who claims they can work together has either been maliciously misinformed or is maliciously misinforming you.

Mantener tu ciudad limpia.

Destruye el fascismo!

We, the moderation and administration of tech.lgbt, are signing the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact in fellowship with our peer communities. (https://vantaa.black/pact)

There is over a decade of precedent that Facebook will not have users' best interests as their guiding principle but rather profit margins, if it joins the Fediverse.

We at tech.lgbt have long held the belief that corporation owned instances are a threat to the core of the Fediverse: freedom for users to be themselves and to be a part of their communities. The 2010s saw the loss of online freedom when the majority of the Web was consolidated into a few destinations, and Facebook entering here could lead us back to centralization. Furthermore, NDAs for server admins will constrain our sovereignty online by binding us legally from disrupting their business.

We are not products. We are people, and we do not welcome Facebook in this space.

Additionally, if you encounter an instance admin speaking favorably about #facebook joining the #fediverse, please bring them to my attention via report or DM. It would be useful to know which instances are no longer trustworthy to federate with in this upcoming shitshow.

#FediBlockMeta

If your instance admin is speaking favorably about #facebook joining the #fediverse, get out now before they start feeding your data to the company partly responsible for overturning several elections (by violating data privacy laws with impunity). The company that demonstrates a clear conservative bias with every act.

#FediPact #project92 #mastodon #FediBlockMeta #p92

This is a preemptive call to #Fediblock Meta's #P92/#Barcelona instance, for three reasons at least:
1. it'll be huge and extremely poorly moderated;
2. it will be a #privacy nightmare, allowing Meta to extensively profile #Fediverse users with greater ease;
3. it will be used to #EEE the Fediverse in the same way their “support” for #RSS and #XMPP was used to wipe them out from the general consciousness with a rug-pull (my full thoughts on this: http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/credible-threat-1/ )

Ways not to ingratiate yourself with the fediverse:

Be a trillion dollar company and approach fedi devs secretly and make them sign non-disclosure agreements with you so they can be sued if they reveal the details of your communications.

Big tech bullshit.

#FediMeta #fedi #fediverse

When #META invites you to secretive talks about the #fediverse and you are told to not share anything about those talks, be it by spoken agreement or an NDA — remember admiral Ackbar. It's a trap.

@tecnotestering eso nos pasa a todos, pero...tenemos la opción de #editar que en el pajarraco no esta, jejejeje.

Hey everyone! i have opened a #Kbin instance at https://kbin.dentora.social feel free to use it! #fediverse

🔥 We are excited to let everyone know that our full website is now live!

We hope this will be an easy way for new users to get started with #Mastodon & join the wider #Fediverse & an organizing hub to build & spread a better, more open social web of ALL fediverse offerings.

With the #RedditMigration in full force & the likely #Barcelona launch bringing new attention to the Fediverse it is all the more urgent to help #TakeBackSocial

Kbin had a successful round of funding thru NLNet https://nlnet.nl/project/Kbin and has already pulled in about 3k thru donations at https://buymeacoffee.com/kbin
The really shows how much support we have right now for alternative self hosted infrastructure and I hope prompts even more people to step up and help build this thing we call the #fediverse together.
