"A mudança de rumo da liderança atual do #Mastodon reflete um reconhecimento importante: a arquitetura federada só cumpre seu potencial quando os servidores funcionam como comunidades reais, não apenas como infraestrutura invisível.

O modelo anterior, que tratava servidores como "detalhe de implementação" (à la email/Gmail), gerou uma rede tecnicamente distribuída, mas socialmente centralizada em mastodon.social. O resultado foi justamente o oposto do que a federação propõe: uma experiência homogênea, sem diversidade comunitária significativa.

A nova aposta, servidores como fronteiras sociais com coerência própria, busca recuperar a essência federada: uma rede de redes, onde cada nó tem identidade, normas e governança próprias. Projetos como o Newsmast exemplificam essa direção ao criar apps específicos por comunidade (ex.: um app para fãs de jazz, outro para moradores de uma cidade), mantendo a federação como tecido conectivo — não como camada única de experiência.

É uma aposta arriscada, pois exige que administradores de servidores assumam papéis duplos (sysadmin + steward comunitário), mas é estruturalmente mais alinhada com o que Elinor Ostrom identificou como necessário para instituições resilientes: regras claras, monitoramento possível e sanções graduais, tudo difícil de implementar quando a "comunidade" é apenas um servidor técnico sem identidade social compartilhada.”

For a brain that relies on structure and predictability, this is a nightmare scenario. We are replacing rigorous engineering discipline with black-box guesswork. If nobody actually understands the foundation anymore, what happens when it breaks? You can't just "reboot" a vulnerable architecture.

I miss the days when writing code meant understanding it.

3te Umfrage:

Herr Merz denkt auch über eine Klarnamenpflicht nach

Was haltet ihr davon?
Gerne Kommentare

Sollte es eine Klarnamenpflicht geben?

@GratianRiter

Danke 🙏

Ich nehme an, einen Livebericht von einem #CDU - Bundesparteitag hat es auf #Mastodon noch nie gegeben… 🤓🤷‍♂️

Aber #Demokratie geht nur mit Vielfalt & Dialog, sonst zerspalten uns die Dualisten. Danke, dass ich Euch hier mit Einblicken aus einer sicher überwiegend anderen Lebenswelt & Medienblase „nerven“ darf.

Ich denke, so vielfältig sollte das #Fediverse sein & werden. Deswegen gibt es auch wieder das Tässle Kaffee ☕️.

So, habe nun mehrere Termine, bis später! 🙏🙌

2te Umfrage:

Falls ihr für ein Verbot seid oder für Kontrollen etc

Wo seht ihr die Altersgrenze?

Ab welchem Alter sollten Kinder ein Social Media Konto haben dürfen?
(Vielleicht auch erst ab der Volljährigkeit?)

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• lobnafamily🕊️🫒 (@lobnafamily)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

Diese Umfrage gab es schon einmal von mir
Aus aktuellem Anlass
heute wieder

-- Da der Kanzler Merz, so scheint es, im März viel darüber nachdenken wird und mit ihm, wir alle --

Sollte es ein Social Media Verbot für Kinder geben??

Im thread weitere Umfragen

🔔 New Essay 🔔

"Reflections on Academic Communication"

Full Essay: https://seanfobbe.com/posts/2026-02-20_reflections-on-academic-communication/ (Open Access)

Academia is in a crisis of communication. Academics do a lot of communicating, but we rarely reflect on how and why we communicate. There are very active debates on the reform of academic publishing, but they rarely make it into the mainstream of academia.

I’ve been thinking about academic communication a lot and I decided to write up some thoughts as an essay, perhaps make a series out of it. By “academic communication” I mean communication as an academic, whether this is within academia among academics or if it is between academia and business, academia and civil society or academia and the general public. In this first essay I’ve chosen to focus on some modern means of academic communication: websites, social media and e-mail. Each of them is not enough to make an academic career, but they represent some of the best means we have to evade traditional academic gatekeeping.
