Usenet was where conversations took place before social media came about.

#Usenet - the Grandparents of #Fediverse!
Was there! 😃
Here’s a question I ask myself with genuine curiosity and worries about the first impression newbies get of the Fediverse: When people join the pixelfed.social server, they automatically follow @dansup. Am I the only person to find that weird and somehow unprofessional? #pixelfed #fediverse #pixelfedsocial

If @loops supported some kind of crowd-content moderation, with configurable rules, like
Show me all the videos with the #cat tag where at least 3 pepple confirmed is of cats. Then I can configure an account and feed for my kid to spend some screen time. This would be much more advanced moderation/customization than what Instagram and TikTok would be willing to implement.
Is something like that possible?

the year is 2099 and the fediverse remains powered by php

don't mind this, imma boost this in 73 years. even if im a brain in a roomba.
#Longevity science is doing progress, despite being criminally underfunded. So by 2099 you may be not only brain, but also the rest and well functioning 🫡 Follow @statto for in-depth info, although quite sporadic on #Fediverse... and @elivilongviveco for frequent info in the language #Esperanto.
Also, to help fund longevity research, the simplest thing you can do is to sign the #DublinLongevityDeclaration 👇

The beauty of #ActivityPub
Yes, Loops federates, and admins can enable any remote instance video posts to appear in local follower feeds AND you can even include them in the For You page ✨
It has been nagging me a lot, but I finally decided to shut down my Pixelfed server.
There are several reasons. Here are the ones off the top of my mind.
- Pixelfed governance is unclear and its maintenance is spotty and obscure. The project has no clear roadmap and it all feels very off. Even though I was enthusiastic about @PixelfedGlitch, it still seems like this fork is not attracting enough interest and participation to establish a forward-looking plan.
- Beyond governance, I share these concerns.
- I don’t want to maintain a whole instance merely for a single profile—especially after it has been inactive for a long while. Friends and folks who are curious and interested in exploring the Fediverse are welcome to join pan.rent, that is a collective, communal, and cosy instance.
- I am having trouble with the pixelfed_ynh package for YunoHost. PHP dependencies are a mess and services constantly fail. I believe it’s not the fault of YunoHost packaging, but I am no expert, just a feeling. No energy and not worth figuring it out. I tried for a while, I gave up.
- I am generally against the idea of having multiple Fediverse accounts on multiple servers for different uses. Instead, I believe we should improve filtering and sorting posts depending on their type, and having one single account linked to one identity. Overall, Mastodon Glitch Edition does the job for my occasional image and video posting, even if it’s not optimal.
- I want to use the domain https://tmi.pics for a different purpose, probably an Immich server.
Now, a question for all the sysads out there: what are the best practices you recommend before shutting the server down? I have a strong emotional attachment to the ~15 pictures and posts I have on my profile there.
What I am doing, so far:
- saving all Web pages of profiles and posts on the Wayback Machine
- performing and archiving a YunoHost backup of the application
- ?

Good morning, friends of the #BSDCafe #illumosCafe and the entire #Fediverse,
it's Wednesday, the day of the Sea. Let’s begin this new day by focusing on the beauty of nature, forgetting for a moment the problems of life and the world.
Because we are alive, now.

Wow, 100x favorisiert und 40x geteilt. Da sag noch einer das #Fediverse wäre inaktiv... Auf die richtigen Inhalt kommt es an. Danke euch!
What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?
For example, for me, here are some things I wish to see (or would implement in my design) :
- design around ease of self-hosting. A non technical user must be able to self host easily and at a very low cost.
- Embrace content sorting and filtering algorithms, but on the client side, with optional control by the user.
- Standardize tags on all content. So many of the different ways different platforms classify or organize content can be implemented as tags, which increases interoperability between them.
- Abandon obsession with real-time-first implementations for use cases that don’t explicitly need it.
- Transferable user identity (between instances)
- User identity and authentication as separate service from social network instance
Would love to hear yours!

I built a fediverse onboarding tool, powered by FediDB and CommunityDB.
It's open source, and I'd love more help!
