Deleted my Reddit account today. What are the Fediverse options? #Mastodon #Fediverse #RedditMigration

Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?

To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.

Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.

Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.

Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Even so, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.

And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.

Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.

Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.

But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.

That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!

Is this all ridiculous? Yes.

But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and why it all matters.

We, on the Fediverse, must be our own Press.

That's me deleted my #Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I'm going to concentrate on #Mastodon , #Lemmy and take a look at #Kbin .

Recomiendo aplicación de terceros Mastodon @Tusky para Android:
Tiene un montón de características adicionales, tales como borradores de posts, programación de posts, líneas de tiempo personalizadas, etc.
Espero que este resumen sea correcto, pero si detectas algún error, házmelo saber.
En general, es una aplicación muy sólida llena de características y una interfaz fácil de usar, cualquier persona con un dispositivo Android debe probarlo.

About Meta on the Fediverse :facebook::geodesic::

I have a lot of concerns about Meta coming soon to the Fediverse.

I fear what this means for the exchange of information that will inevitably happen between us and them.

What it means legally,
what it means technically,
but mostly what it means ethically.

I also fear for the culture we have developed here.

I have deleted my Facebook account 5 years ago and never regretted it. I do not have any other accounts with Meta. For many reasons, I intend to stay away from this unethical corporation as much as I can.

I do not know what my instance intends to do about this, but personally I will block entirely any instance(s) controlled by Meta. I might also lock my account if necessary. This isn't about the people on there, this is very much about the practices of the corporation that controls it.

I sincerely hope their presence will not break the Fediverse :geodesic:

I hope we will stay strong and fight together for the better world we have started to create ✊:heart_cyber:

But I can’t help seeing the arrival of Goliath as a threat to the new world we have built...

Estos días se habla mucho de alternativas a #Reddit por los cambios que están introduciendo para limitar las aplicaciones de terceros.

¿Sabíais que en el #Fediverso tenemos nuestras propias versiones de #Reddit?

- Por un lado tenemos a #Lemmy https://join-lemmy.org/, que lleva con nosotros bastante tiempo. En https://browse.feddit.de/ tenéis un estupendo directorio de comunidades.
- Por otro lado existe #kbin, otro agregador de enlaces con un toque más moderno, pero que aún está en beta https://kbin.pub

¿Y sabíais también que podéis interactuar con estas plataformas directamente desde vuestra cuenta de #Mastodon? ¡Voy a enseñaros como con un mini-tutorial! Dentro hilo ⬇️

Hello everyone!!!

We finally arrived at #Mastodon (without ever being on the birdsite though...).

We are happy to be here. You'll be hearing more from us very soon.

For now please check our network and our (in)famous "Bad News" (monthly) radio show on our website:

Solidarity! 🏴 📻

Con este nuevo evento posible de migración de reddit al fediverso/lemmy, voy a compartir el meme que en su momento compartimos cuando la última migración desde Twitter, donde desde acá, bancamos toda la toma #migración #twitter #recuerdos #mastodon #uruguay

Está dando problemas la instancia masthead.social, alguien sabe que pasa? #mastodon #uruguay #administración #fediverso

Lo que quedó de la batalla campal de la migración de Twitter al fediverso... eliminamos 3320 instancias muertas, hacía falta pasar esa escoba. Actualmente hay unas 320 instancias fallando (esto es, que presentan algún tipo de falla, certificado vencido, offline u otro problema) #mastodon #uruguay #undernet #fediverso

A las 22:30 UY (UTC-3h) aprox vamos a actualizar la plataforma a la última versión, por lo que vamos a estar unos minutos offline. Sepan disculpar las molestias #mastodon #uruguay #undernet #mantenimiento

En #Mastodon se puede seguir hashtags, ahora sigo a #redeslibres

I just found Mapstodon : a very nice interactive map of #Mastodon instances and their public timeline, grouped by region and interest.

Here is my (mostly accurate) list of the top #Fediverse sites, including controversial (albeit sadly legal) sites.

👉🏾 https://darnell.day/fediverse-rankings-top-30-active-instances-including-controversial-servers

Too Long; Did Not Read:

👉🏾 #Mastodon variant #TruthSocial sadly takes to the top spot
👉🏾 Mastodon dominates the list, but #Misskey, #MicroBlog & #Pixelfed instances reach the top 30
👉🏾 Testing sites with fake accounts were not counted, but they are “inflating” the metrics (they should be ignored).
👉🏾 I also excluded a #Twitter content scraper

Anoche tuve una pesadilla #Mastodon era adquirido por #elonmusk y lo hacia desaparecer.

Second attempt :blobcatgiggle: #Twitter #Mastodon #comic #drawing
