#fediHistory #fediDocu

My experience @rcbo is, that people are tribal and need to gather around a term, a brand a togetherness.

So to evade by all means to get stuck just with mastodon and use that effect of "we" I can't see why no create it. Not in a tiresome repetitive hypnotizing fashion, but it's important to point out the distinctive difference.

For me it's like fediVerse is the result of a more than a decade long search and fight for what we have in common, our #commons and that's ultimately the decentralized communication agreement that evolved into activityPub.

I actually can pinPoint you to the evolution of respective hashtags over time and space of about 13 years.

It's a cultural term at this stage I guess.
#federatedWeb #theFederation #fediVerse
federatedWeb -> theFederation -> fediVerse

Even a misspelling 10 years ago shows up, federateWeb with a TV take about #friendica and #diaspora, a comment from @fabrixxm and of course @tobias is all over the place ..

Actually the upcoming #FOSDEM event has a long lasting hashtag stream on geraspora, maybe this is the first fosdem/federatedweb post, including an interview with a #diasporian on #FOSDEM2015.

This is my first #Mastodon-powered fediverse server. _^

That means, https://aleph.land is one of the first and oldest Mastodon-based #Fediverse instance. _~

I occasionally log in here to keep it alive because this is historical and memorable for me. During this time, and before Mastodon was released, I was running my own Fediverse instance powered by #Hubzilla.

Back then, the protocol of the fediverse was #OpenMicroBlogging then #OStatus; #AcitivtyPub came years later.

Today, we have another federated protocol: #ATproto which is powering The #ATmosphere network (#Bluesky is just one instance).

(PS. Max chars in Aleph.Land is 1024; and using the #GlitchSoc fork since it came out.)

1. That the #Fediverse network is Mastodon; and #Mastodon is the Fediverse.

2. That Mastodon is a network when it is not, it is a software.

3. That the fediverse is small.

4. That the fediverse is competing against this and that #SNS; and its objective is to end them. Truth is, there is no such objective, since 2008 (and earlier), the objective has always been to #BringDownTheWalls.

5. That the fediverse is new. It started in 2008. (See: https://codeberg.org/ddfon/federated-sns ), and discussions about a #FederatedWeb started years before that.

6. That the fediverse is only a #microblogging network. In reality, there are software for fediverse blogging, photo sharing, book reviews, podcasting, and video hosting, to mention a few.

7. That the fediverse will eventually close down like all others. Again, it started in early 2008, that's 16 years ago, and it's still here.

There’s not a single person IRL that I know that is part of the fediverse. Most of my friends know I hate social media so other than maybe 2 people, I’ve never mentioned it. It’s a little harder to explain anyway, so I don’t. If I can figure it, anyone can—I just think most don’t care to think past the big socials, that something better could possibly exist. #fediverse #federatedweb #socialmedia #thoughts

Good night to the useful web, the freely accessible internet, and the open network model.

2023 (and 6/30/23 in particular) marks the end of the Open Web Boom, much like the Dot Com Boom.

Welcome to the collapse. Hopefully something useful arises from the ashes.

## Announcement

We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Giant Rhubarb" 2023.04. The highlights of this release are

- The Mastodon compatible API of Friendica was improved,
- Drag and Drop functionality was added to the Frio theme for image attachments, and
- Christian Pöschl from usd AG reported a XSS fulnurability in a javascript dependency in the gallery of the Frio theme that was fixed.

## What is Friendica?

Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr.

I hope someone creates a #RedSky instance in the #fediverse and/or #ATP (#Blusky) networks.

Or, #RedForest as a nod to the #12monkeys #TV series. And the logo is, of course, the 12 Monkeys. ;P

Discovered @yunohost couple of week ago thanks to @meneer and started tinkering with it this week. Progress so far: my own Matrix server + Element chat client bridged with my Telegram and WhatsApp account. So now I'm chatting with my friends and in several groups in just one interface 😎 Also looking forward to a Slack bridge!

#selfhosted #datainteroperability #federatedweb #yunohost #matrix #telegram #whatsapp

Other #Fediverse platforms should just go ahead and make @evan 's vision come true.

--- Quoting the article:

He puts the success of Mastodon down to its “very pragmatic and user-focused development team,” led by Eugen Rochko.

That said, Prodromou thinks that Mastodon isn’t using the full capabilities of the protocols he helped define.

…

Currently, the main API for Mastodon is its custom API, which Prodromou thinks limits the creativity for developers wanting to build in the fediverse.

“Taking the fediverse to that next level and seeing the implementation of a standard client API would mean a lot to me,” he said, “because it would unlock a lot of that creativity in terms of the content that we see on the network.”

Hey, Portland Metro Area community members.

I recently found out about the Matrix decentralized/federated messaging service, and I was wondering if anyone knew of, or had plans to operate, a PDX-based server on Matrix?

Exactly! The #Fediverse is not just about Twitter-type / #Mastodon-type, it is way bigger, wider, bolder, beyond what Twitter or Mastodon is. There is something for every type of uses, and users. If one is not available, someone will create one sooner or later.

Instead of looking at it from a “which is the better Fediverse platform”, we should look at it from “which one fits what you have in mind”. It’s like Twitter, sure it can handle images and videos, but we still go to Instagram, Flickr; and YouTube, Vimeo, because those specialise with images and videos respectively. Like how Pixelfed and Peertube are.

Like in your example, a small family with specific purpose, doesn’t need a heavy platform like Mastodon. They can opt for the lighter ones like MIssKey/forks; or even lighter than that, Pleroma/forks. And indeed, maintaining a Nextcloud instance is better for them.

Everything to know about #Misskey platform

Misskey is an advanced interplanetary microblogging platform where users can write, share attachments, communicate, interact, and connect to other services like Mastodon, Pixelfed, and more.

The development of Misskey started in 2014 by @syuilo in Japan.

@Vivaldi , the company behind #Vivaldi browser, recently launched their own #Fediverse instance, powered by #Mastodon, called #VivaldiSocial.

You can sign-up at https://social.vivaldi.net and your ID is @-username@vivaldi.net

I love how their instance's server is on a subdomain, but the fediverse ID is on the root domain. This is a rare configuration, it's possible, just rare.

Also, your Vivaldi Socail fediverse ID also serves as your Vivaldi email address. Yes, it is also possible to have this configuration.

If you are looking for an app or client to use (mobile and desktop) for accessing your accounts in the Fediverse network, there's no list like the “Delightful Fediverse Clients”.

Here are the reasons why I recommend this:

1. Information on which software is supported (e.g. #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Funkwhale, #Hubzilla, #PixelFed, #PeerTube, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #Mastodon, and so on)

2. OS platform supported (e.g. #Android, #iOS, #Linux, #Windows, #macOS, web-based)

3. The license of the project

4. The programming language of the project

5. Inactive projects are properly marked

I haven't heard more than half of those listed (and I've been around since 2008). Be sure to re-share this list, write blog posts, mention it in your vlogs, and help others find the app/client they want to use. You know, #SharingIsCaring.

Do you want to have your own #Fediverse server/instance for your family, friends, your countrymen, or perhaps, personal/solo use?

The “Delightful Fediverse Apps” is a curated list of #server applications with support for the #ActivityPub protocol (Fediverse network) and related standards.

It is the most exhaustive list I have found online. What I love about it are the following:

1. forks are listed

2. inactive projects are properly marked

3. links to the official website, source code, and the project's fediverse account (or the developer's)

4. have a concise but good description for each project

5. a project's license is noted visibly

6. the project's programming language is noted visibly

7. projects considering adding ActivityPub support are also listed
