serverok.pl is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
We’ve got to put an end to this—it’s gone way too far. What I’ve seen is horrifying.
A young woman was driven to take her own life because she believed she’d “respawn” afterward. She fell into this terrible trap and paid the ultimate price.
The person responsible is a man known online as “Chezble,” whose real name is Oscar Samuel Stern. He’s the leader of a dangerous group called “Spawnism” and runs a Discord server where he exploits children.

I don’t understand why the police haven’t stepped in yet. If you’re in Jacksonville or you know anything about Oscar “Chezble” Stern, please reach out to your local police department right away so they can stop him before anyone else gets hurt.
🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧
Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."
⚠️ This is a Scam!
Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.
No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.
If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.
How to Identify the Scam:
Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.
Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.
What to Do:
If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.
If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.
To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the "About" page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.
Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team.
Important Reminder:
Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.
Reporting the Scam:
If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance's admin team and use relevant tags, such as #FediBlock, to help raise awareness.
Personal Note:
I'm not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I'm looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I'll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.
Let's stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!

Migration Status Update 📈
Die alte Mastodon-Historie ist angekommen! 🚚 Per slurp wurden 380 Posts sauber nach GoToSocial migriert - Fotos, Text, Timeline-Integration funktioniert tadellos.
Das Föderation-Wachstum läuft weiter auf Hochtouren: 2.750+ bekannte Instanzen in nur vier Tagen, Dank GTS-HolMirDas und seinen 102 RSS-Feeds. 🌐
Performance bleibt atemberaubend: Der komplette Social Media Stack läuft mit 426 MB RAM:
Zum Vergleich: Mastodon allein frisst (bei mir) 4-5 GB. Das ist Faktor 10-12 Unterschied! 🤯
Import + Live Content-Discovery + Thread-Vervollständigung = alles parallel ohne Performance-Impact. Moderne Software-Architektur macht's möglich.
GoToSocial ist definitiv production-ready. Die Migration war die richtige Entscheidung! ✅

Remember when “social media” was “social networking”?
What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff.
Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the #fediverse special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.
#Fediverse - like #democracy - is not the holy grail. Active individual engagement seems essential.
„Beyond analyzing whether the Fediverse can disrupt #bigtech monopolies on the Web and how to circumvent the challenges it might face, it is crucial to gather evidence of the potential impacts of the Fediverse on pressing issues currently affecting the Web. These include the spread of #HateSpeech and #disinformation Shin et al. (2018); Castaño-Pulgarín et al. (2021), effects on #mentalhealth Haidt (2024), and manipulation of user behavior Zuboff (2019). The presence of large instances like Gab, which permit hate speech, demonstrates that the Fediverse is not immune to some of these problems. In fact, its decentralized nature could complicate moderation efforts and potentially exacerbate some of these issues Allen et al. (2023); Mahadeva (2024).“

@surf is cool, and I hope for its future. My main problems/questions are:
- very slow loading (probably federation issues as well as the app itself)
- what does it mean with 'Posts about [search]'? Is it just keyword search?
- how does the youtube integration work? Will I ever be able to directly follow them from my fedi account or only in feeds? I do like how I can easily post about it.
- my account is bridged to Bluesky but I can't use that to follow Bluesky users from Surf?

Hey everyone, I need to talk about something important.
Today I’m calling out someone named Marlene on Discord, who’s been scamming people by pretending she has no family and asking for commissions. A good friend of mine from school actually got caught up in it and reached out to let me know. Turns out, he’s one of her victims.
Marlene is taking advantage of people’s kindness—she’s using emotional manipulation to trap people. What’s worse is that she’s been sending out fake messages using AI-generated content, and even stole my Discord profile picture to make herself look more legit.
Thankfully, my friend Nicholas sent me proof of the messages. If you get a DM from her, please block and report her right away.
Here’s what to look out for:
Username: marlene_vt
User ID: 1364663481718149191
Stay safe, everyone. And if something ever feels off, trust your gut and double-check before engaging.

Currently, a display and handle "regex blocklist" feature is far more urgent than the quote post feature for the #Mastodon software—and other #Fediverse software too.
We seriously need to be able to prevent anyone from using software names—like Mastodon®—anywhere in their handle and display name, just like how we do it in the gaming industry since MUD/MUSH era in the 90s.
Hey there, #Mastodon fam! 👋 Exciting news – we're now on Mastodon(intriguepages@flipboard.social) 🎉, your go-to spot for everything related to women's #health, #mental well-health, #culture, and honest advice.

Toll die Umweltzeitung aus #Berlin "Der Rabe Ralf" ist auch im #Fediverse vertreten.
Dieses kleine aber gehaltvolle Blättchen hat nur wenige Abonnenten hier. Dieses Redaktionelle Fachblatt hat mehr als 25 Follower verdient. Also bitte, abbonniert deren Fediveverse-Account und klar abonniert auch die Zeitung.

Apparently some have an expectation that a block applies globally. They do not know how things work in a decentraized network. Likely never heard of a killfile.

I really should quit hitting enter after every sentence, just kinda makes everything look messy. Not exactly a vibe.
Am I the only one who feels like blocking entire #Fediverse instances is harmful to the open-sourced ecosystem? There were talks to mandate IM services to allow basic texting/calling features to be interoperable. If that system is based off of the infrastructure we have now, people will block all the corporate services from federating with them, and we'll be right back at square 1. The right way to accomplish the same effect would be to allow instance mods to block individual users.

What do you think about emoji reactions on social media? I know some Fediverse clients support them. Mastodon has emoji reactions in announcements, which makes me wonder - would it really be a bad thing to have them in statuses as well? 🤔

Does anyone else like to read news/RSS through Fedi? I have a miniflux subscription and I love it, but at the same time having everything in a TL like it is here seems really nice (and the existence of @birb makes it simple to convert feeds)
With the new UK Gov Changes to NSFW content as well as how you need to Verify your ID to use lots of sites, I will make it clear that; I highly suggest moving your friends and family over to the Fediverse
1. The Fediverse is a safe place and can not and will not force people to verify there ID
2. Because most instances don't count as 'catagroy 1' it means we do not need to verify IDs unless we have thousands of users (internal)
3. They can't stop all the instances, There are thousands of instances and can not reinforce this.
Sorted and went through my felt today, I obviously had to take a picture 😌
I exclusively use felt by The Cinnamon Patch, which is amazing quality; plus, they have a lot of amazing colours of all kind!

I’ve realised that people on the #Fediverse seem to be complaining a lot more recently.
Like… I feel that #Mastodon is just turning into normal social media, what I wanted to try to escape.
It could just be that it’s 03:49 and I can’t sleep, but I feel that everywhere I look, I see people complaining or #FediDrama.
How did this happen… how did my parts of my feed turn into negativity?
Help!
@SecurityWriter I don't defend this, nor anything else that @MastodonEngineering / #Mastodon #devs do, including stifling and sabotaging the need for good moderation tools.
If we can't expect #users to make informed decisions, then maybe they should not be allowed to use tech.
I gladly teach people tech but most don't want to learn or even follow through on suggestions, advice and take explanaitions to their answers, and at a certain point that's just tiring...

I think there's this unspoken idea that black people do not exist here, or that we would not find the concept of the #fediverse to be appealing. This is inherently just- wrong.
There's very much a whiteness problem here. A lot of purity culture in leftist politics. Like damn- y'all actually do not know how to get a lil nasty while still remaining civil. And it shows tbh.
Like I always try to post to #blackfedi and it feels like yelling into the void ahaha. But I do not blame black people for-

How To Improve Your Privacy and Security on Mastodon
#PrivacyGuides #Mastodon #Privacy #Security #Tutorial #Fediverse #TinyMastodonTip
Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.
The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.
I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.
The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."
Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.
