@silverwizard I have been here since 2016, I know the name of the network. there is still such thing as Mastodon. People talk about "the mastodon network" regardless if its "correct" or not, and its not owned by anyone.

fuck you google

@silverwizard there is a big difference between owning trademark rights and owning Mastodon. no one owns Mastodon (the network)

Discovered these 2009 photos of Laconica Hackfest by @zcopley!

Laconica is the first piece of the #fediverse. It took a over decade of work to blossom into what it is today... Some participants who have taggable handles on this version of the protocol:
@evan, @davew, @csarven

Medium.com (@medium) launched a Mastodon instance that will have a "Login with Medium" button in the near future.

"Medium has somewhere between 85 and 100 million monthly active users"

@coloco I don't know if you noticed the name on that link but I made that lol

@coloco thanks I hadn't seen the first two links before, so I am glad you sent them. all the others I am very aware of but always glad to get new recommendations

@coloco no worries, I found what I was looking for, its posted as a reply to the OP now

@coloco AWS and OVH are large hosting/server providers. And thanks but the graph is not on fediverse.party, its posted on someones feed here like 6 months ago

anyone have a link handy of that graph someone made of how much of the fediverse is hosted on OVH, AWS, etc?

I have spent the last two days working on making good quality SVG versions of the logo/symbols for #fediverse projects and I feel like it was worth it. I think the hard/less fun part of this project is getting them out there for all to use. I am pretty unfamiliar with submitting to Wikimedia Commons that is probably the best place for them to all live

#Mozilla just announced they are joining the #fediverse :fediverse:

"In early 2023, Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social"

they will start with Mastodon, but are "looking forward to working on the challenges that crosscut the Fediverse"

I just learned that @maffsie has patched the very frustrating situation with how account links are handled in Mastodon 4+

@skaverat kindly pointed me to the patch file: https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_4-revert-captive-links.patch that looks to already be applied to https://queer.party

I am not a programmer and don't have the skills to apply this patch myself to an instance of Mastodon but I would love to hear how it goes if anyone else tries it.

the CEO of Flickr, who is now active here at @d0n, is wondering if #Flickr should implement #ActivityPub and become part of the #fediverse!

so we just had the biggest hourly signup ever (according to @mastodonusercount) right as twitter is having some issues with downtime #FediNews

TIL the mastodon instance https://c.im implemented #misskey's "is a cat" feature and @BlackAzizAnansi (someone who just moved here with a rather large following on twitter) has it enabled

we just had a peak influx two hours ago of 8k new accounts in an hour! the the onslaught has sped up!!!
