"The announcement also raises questions about what this means for #Tumblr’s integration with the #opensocialweb, known as the fediverse. By migrating its infrastructure to #WordPress, it would have become a #federatedapp. #Mullenweg admits that was one of the arguments for making the move, but hints that it’s no longer a priority.
“…in the meantime, I think if there was a big push to implement fediverse, we would just do it on the Tumblr code base,” he said."

Man kann ein Publikum auch ohne LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook & Co. erreichen, wenn man ein wenig Arbeit in unabhängige Lösungen steckt.

Derzeit kursieren wieder Meldungen, dass diesmal bei Facebook Organisationen ihre Business-Pages verlieren. Offenbar passen deren Inhalte Mark Zuckerberg nicht mehr ins Konzept. Website-Betreiber berichten, dass ihr Traffic von Google zusammenbricht. Die ehemalige Suchmaschine lässt stattdessen ihre KI fantasieren.

Wenn Du Leute kennst, die sich unabhängiger von Musk, Zuckerberg und den anderen Digital-Baronen machen wollen, finden die einige Tipps in meinem Blog - reiche den Link gerne weiter.

Das Bild zeigt eine Variation des "Left Exit 12 Off Ramp" Memes. In diesen Memes wird ein Auto gezeigt, das abrupt auf eine Autobahnausfahrt einschwenkt. Auf dem Straßenschild über der Ausfahrt werden zwei Optionen dargestellt: eine, die der Autor des Memes ablehnt, und eine, die er bevorzugt. Das Auto lenkt dabei in Richtung der bevorzugten Option.

In diesem spezifischen Meme wird die Entscheidung zwischen "BIG-TECH" und "FEDIVERSE" thematisiert. "BIG-TECH" steht dabei für große Technologieunternehmen, während "FEDIVERSE" eine dezentralisierte Alternative zu sozialen Medien darstellt. Das Wort "DU" über dem Auto deutet darauf hin, dass der Betrachter des Memes die Entscheidung treffen muss, welche Richtung er einschlagen möchte. Der Humor und die Aussagekraft des Memes liegen darin, dass das Auto offensichtlich in Richtung der bevorzugten Option (FEDIVERSE) einschwenkt, was die Ablehnung von "BIG-TECH" und die Präferenz für das Fediverse verdeutlicht.

Rise and Fall of Grassroots #OpenWeb

To understand where the #Fediverse and the #OpenSocialWeb are heading, and how not to lose our way, we need to reflect on where we’ve come from. The history of grassroots #openweb activism offers both inspiration and hard lessons.Foundations are built by real people, social movements start local, they begin with people on the margins – those directly affected by injustice – taking action with the tools they have. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, tech projects like #Indymedia were the […]

Listen to @davew:

"I want to go much further. I think #WordPress has all that's needed to be the OS of the #opensocialweb. We needed it and it's always been there, and I saw something that I want to show everyone else, that the web can grow from here, we should build on everything that the WordPress community has created. It's a lot stronger foundation that the other candidates for the basic needs of the open social web, imho."

"…the #opensocialweb is not just purely vibes and opinions, it is also shaped by technology and software. Technology sets the boundaries within opinions can be contested. Sometimes, technology comes along that changes what’s possible, and expands the understanding of what the open social web is. #Bounce is a great example, of how a new technology changes and expands the contested boundaries of what the Open Social Web is."

When someone claims software to be revolution, consider who is saying it. And ask yourself if they will allow the spoils of that revolution be shared with you if you're not a white dude.

Because historically, inevitably, irrevocably, the answer is a resounding and unflinching ✨No✨

Then ask why is the language of revolution used so often in regards to new tech? Because it works.

Today I woke up to having reached 600 followers... a very happy day and a massive thank you for being my friends here on the awesome cool Mastodon. Smaller networks, bigger brains, friendlier hearts 😍😘👍😎

A screenshot of my mastodon account showing my 600 follower count (using Elk desktop app). Yippee! Mastodon is where the coolest ppl are.

@bjoernsta wow #FollowFriday gibt‘s hier auch? Wie schön! Danke fürs Intro! Ich freue mich riesig, hier mehr über das #OpenSocialWeb zu lernen, neue Leute kennenzulernen!💡

One thing I miss on social media is quality content and conversations. Where people would have civil discussions even in disagreements and point to reputable sources instead of “trust me bro” “ do your own research (aka YouTube). I’m sick of the purity tests where people generally on the same sides end up fighting because 1-3 differences. There needs to be a network and platform that emphasises this. #opensocialweb #fediverse #eq #quality

I watch videos like "Introducing the #Fediverse," which is a great piece of propaganda, and think, we need more of this.

But it also highlights a faction in the #OpenSocialWeb revolution. This vid puts #Meta front and center as the entity we're revolting against.

But not everyone agrees.

Some (foolishly) believe Meta is on our side of the line; that they'll willingly hand over the keys so we can have the web we want.

If that's so, who are we revolting against?

#FollowFriday Yesterday I met @mervelous at Hamburgs nextmedia Festival. Her heart beats for media innovation and she spearheads a program SWR Xlab to make the #opensocialweb better. But she struggles a little with finding her bubble on Mastodon, so: Please welcome and follow her, friends!

Boosts welcome.

@elena to be fair there are services users can sign up on multiple services that’s not Bluesky here’s https://frontpage.fyi/ (think Reddit), https://whtwnd.com/about (blogging platform), and here’s a site with tons of projects dedicated devs are working on https://docs.bsky.app/showcase #opensocialweb #atproto #bluesku

Decentralized this, distributed that. How about you decentralize your sins and distribute your love for our lord and savior Jesus Christ?

#OpenSocialWeb #decentralized #Bluesky

Agreed.

There's a persistent idea in the decentralized revolution, by people who've never experience this type of harm, that if you don't like fascism, racism, transphobia, etc, you can just block.

This is a techno-libertarian worldview that lacks object permanence. It's like a baby playing peekaboo. Just because my hands are over my face, it doesn't mean that the harm disappears.

"Let me be crystal clear before we begin: I say all of the below with love for #thefediverse.. Deep, stubborn, open-source-loving, billionaire-eschewing love. I want the #OpenSocialWeb to win. But wanting it isn’t enough. If we want this thing to thrive we have to face the #userexperience sins head-on—and maybe even laugh at them a little along the way."

On Threads? Then it’s time to flip the switch on #Fediverse Sharing. As part of its #OpenSocialWeb integration, it now has a dedicated feed of posts from platforms like Mastodon and Flipboard. Another huge win for the expansion of the open social web!

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jc6owhpd4cbnr35x5h5natsi/post/3lrsziy7snt26

Fediverse Sharing on Threads has just levelled up 🔝

Threads users with Fediverse Sharing switched on can now browse a new 'Fediverse' feed!

Whilst Fediverse Sharing on Threads still leaves a lot to be desired, we hope this step will help grow the open social web amongst audiences which have never encountered this space before.

You can now find your federated Fediverse or bridged Bluesky account by searching on Threads 🔍
