Got myself a couple of #Mastodon badges.

"Live, laugh, federate" and a Mastodon logo badge.

I'm really getting to love it here now.

@sarah Oh yeah there is at least one fediverse trans group on simplex because I was invited to it

#SimpleX #Trans #Fediverse

@sarah I've gotten about a dozen people on fedi to try out simplex just by explaining the merits, a handful still talk to me there. IRL my contacts understand the importance of privacy from their government, they know about Edward Snowden and PRISM and Tempora and especially COINTELPRO

If you just wanna try it out again and see how its improved in the past couple years I do have something I want to talk to you about veganism

#Veganism #PRISM #COINTELPRO #SimpleX #PSA #Privacy #Anonymity #EdwardSnowden #Fediverse #Tempora

Instance #mastodon udah ada, #misskey udah ada, pixelfeed kayaknya gak deh, lagi malas foto-foto seriusan. Server #fediverse apa lagi ya.

Habis itu oprek2 server fediverse.

Giliran mau istirahat, gak jadi istirahat karena server fediverse error.

Kapan produktif urus kerjaan 🤣🤣

🌅 Lighthouse Lore — Morning Watch

At first light, the Lighthouse doesn’t shout.
It checks the logs.
It trims the wicks.
It keeps the beam steady while the rest of the internet thrashes about like a gull in a chip bag.

No algorithms barking orders.
No feeds screaming engage.
Just quiet systems, honest uptime, and a signal that means what it says.

Build slow.
Shine true.
Guide those who choose to look up.

Big Tech platforms routinely censor any mention of the #fediverse, so I've started designing, printing, and placing these stickers around town.

No idea if they get any scans, but I figure simply getting the word "fediverse" out there might raise the consciousness a little.

Any ideas for slogans that might pique the interest of facebook-addicted normies?

#activitypub #socialmedia #mastodon #enshittification #facebook

Alt...

Three small white stickers each with qr code and the following black text, respectively: "Big tech thinks you're stupid. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "cats not capitalism. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "Anarchy not Algorithms Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net"

Mid-afternoon it is.
The day, not yet done.
The commute, it looms.
Rush you must not.
Breathe, you should.
The Force flows… even on delayed trains and wet roads.
Homeward, safely travel you will. 🚦🌧️

Good morning everyone. What does everyone have planned today?

#Introduction

Hi, I’m s4if. I’ve been a long-time #fediverse user (first onboarded in late 2022). This is my new instance… my old one was [at]me[at]fd.s4if.dev. I usually post in English and Indonesian, and mostly talk about #Linux, #programming, and random things.

Nice to meet you again.. :)

Starting the day with a yummy treat - Cinnamon Roll Delight II: https://1-lisas-baker.pixels.com/featured/cinnamon-roll-delight-ii-lisa-s-baker.html

Alt...

Cinnamon Roll Delight II by Lisa S. Baker offers a softer, more airy interpretation of the cinnamon roll motif, featuring sweeping circular forms and creamy whites layered with warm browns, toasted orange, and subtle hints of spice. The loose, expressive brushwork creates a sense of gentle motion, evoking warmth, comfort, and the simple pleasure of slow mornings.

so, i realize that no one has read or listened to my rant on Dem messaging, but this is very important to me

i want to learn more about #PeerTube

from what i understand, the "instances" there are even more precious than #mastodon bc someone has to host all that #video content

as much as i would 💙 to post my (many) #pigeon videos or expand my political repertoire, i don't want to do it on #youtube

i would appreciate any advice people of #mastodon or #fediverse can offer💙

’Twas the Monday before Christmas, and all through the commute,
Not a server was stirring, not even to boot.
The Lighthouse stays lit while the world starts to rush —
steady, quiet, online before the hush. 🌊⚓️

Here is the always up-to-date sheet with more than 1000 official accounts by media organizations that you can follow from #Mastodon & everywhere else in the #Fediverse.

There is a powerful custom search (top left) and a button to download an CSV with the handles of all visible accounts, that you can import. There's also the language, the country of origin and a direct link.

I guess Threads is going to be shutting off Fediverse Sharing soon, seeing as I'm no longer able to interact with Fediverse replies.🙄😒

Didn't I say that would happen and they promised 100x that it would be fully functional someday?

Why yes, yes I did.🤦‍♂️

Sunset Burro by Lisa S Baker A gentle burro stands in the glow of a radiant evening sky, its soft features highlighted by rich strokes of indigo, violet, rose, and warm gold. The textured brushwork gives the piece a painterly depth, while the colorful sunset backdrop adds a sense of peace, personality, and quiet charm. This expressive portrait captures the burro's humble spirit in a modern, vibrant way - perfect for western décor, animal lovers, or anyone who enjoys artwork filled with color and heart.

Brothers and sisters from #fediverse....

I don't mind to follow back your fediverse account, but at least there is some interactions between us. No need to ask, I will follow back your account.

@loops Can i block this "service" at all?

The #Fediverse is the #service without any #algorithms you have to struggle with!

(1/7) I suppose #Fediverse isn't the place people are discussing #RobReiner. But after 36 hours of deliberating whether to say anything, I feel compelled. This thread will be long,but I start w/ most important part:

It's an “open secret” in the #FOSS community that in March 2017 my brother murdered our mother. About 3k ppl/year in USA have this experience, so it's a statistical reality that someone else in FOSS experienced similar. If so, you're welcome in my PMs to discuss if you need support…

While others slept, the tower shipped.
Kernel renewed. Systems steady.
No downtime. No drama. No excuses.

This is how you build trust in the dark:
quiet maintenance, boring graphs, and a light that never goes out.

Wow. 1000 followers 🤯

When we started self-hosting this instance, I wasn’t sure anyone would show up.

Now there’s a thousand of you listening to me ramble about Linux, containers, FreeBSD, veganism and sometimes left politics.

Danke. Merci. Thanks.

This community is why the fediverse matters.

I wish each and every one of you wonderful holidays and a great start into 2026!!

#fediverse #mastodon #thankyou #HappyHolidays

Short day, long shadows.
Dogs walked, servers humming, kettle on.

Building things the slow way:
owning the stack, minding the details, choosing sustainability over scale for scale’s sake.

The lighthouse keeps running —
quiet, independent, intentional.

can anyone tell me, does #Brave just not handle #Mastodon & the #Fediverse well, or it is something else?

all of my recent posts had to come from #Firefox because #Brave has been producing those crazy messages

This is the first thing i've been able to post from Brave in many hours

Der Bundespräsident hält eine Rede zum 9.11. und warnt vor der Gefahr von Algorithmen für die #Demokratie. Selbst ist er nur irgendwo von X bis Instagram präsent, nicht im #Fediverse.

"Schreiben Sie dem Bundespräsidenten" steht allerdings ganz unten. Joa, hab ich mal gemacht. Wollt ihr auch?

So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying?
That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.

Habe mich auf einer Mastodon Instanz registriert und nach einer Woche bekam der Administrator auch mal den Hintern hoch den Account freizuschalten...#Fediverse und #Mastodon ist einfach nur *kaputt*

Klassiker in #Taiwan - Die Muellabfuhr faehrt durch die Strassen und macht sich bemerkbar, damit auch alle ihren Muell rausbringen.... mit Beethoven!

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start ins Wochenende. Alles wird gut 🙌

Ich würde es ja spannend finden, wenn ich bei einem Account im #Fediverse, den ich hier lese, auch sehen könnte welche Instanz-Software genutzt wird. Also ist es #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Sharkey, …

The lighthouse is in its slippers.
The servers are wearing cardigans.
The kettle has been promoted to senior management.

The sea is politely murmuring,
the dogs are auditing the biscuit supply,
and the light goes round and round
like it’s got nowhere else to be (because it doesn’t).

Nothing urgent. Nothing loud.
Just a small, stubborn glow
doing its best against the weekend.

We’ll keep the light on 💡

@blogrecode I love using #Jetpack to post my @Wordpress blog onto @Mastodon. It is a great way to share the world your #blog while using #Mastodon!

I think everyone who has #Wordpress should use Jetpack, so they can connect their blog to their favorite #Fediverse account. And start posting as you would normally when posting a blog.

RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/

Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.

@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.

Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate

We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

i just discovered @laurenshof and their #Fediverse reports

Very interesting✨

when i see people on #Threads, i wonder why they don't just come to #Mastodon & reach the same audience w/o giving Zuck their $ & data. this covers some issues

Discusses #Peertube which i've been excited about as a #youtube alt for left #media if we can get them to build that migration

#Ghost & #wordpress i've been looking into bc #Substack news, but i'm writing on some issues i see (tbd)

Friday’s easing its grip.
Lights are going on, kettles are boiling, and the year is quietly folding itself away.

The lighthouse is steady. Logs are calm.
Holidays are on the horizon.

Wherever you are tonight — take the long way home.
We’ll keep the light on. ✨

Alkaa olla kyllä selkeää, että Metan palveluista on poistuttava.

Eikös Fediversessä ollu vähän jotain Facebookin kaltaistakin palvelua jo?

Ja sit vielä, että miks mä en saa päivitettyä profiiliani Pixelfedissä? Profiiliteksti ei tallennu eikä profiilikuva 🤔
