gonna have a hot take but decentralisation needs to take much less of a focus in favour of UX if fedi is to actually thrive. I think fedi making decentralisation the main thing while skimping on good UX has hurt it and is part of why it's developed a toxic white angry nerd perception to outsiders (many such cases in FOSS lol, fedi toxicity mainly comes from FOSS hobbyist extremists)

#GrimmeOnlineAward fürs #Fediverse?
Falls ihr's noch nicht mitbekommen habt:
#Mastodon ist für einen Grimme Award nominiert. Stellvertretend für das *gesamte* Fediverse. Und mit wunderbarer Begründung. ❤️
Wenn Mastodon bzw. *wir alle* diesen Preis gewinnen, gibt's mit Sicherheit
mehr Aufmerksamkeit: Für #ActivityPub, #DigitaleSouveränität und so weiter. Muss ich nicht erklären, oder? 🤓
Die Abstimmung läuft noch bis zum 1. Oktober (23:59h). Auf, auf!

Torno su Mastodon, dopo una parentesi poco fortunata su Friendica: troppe funzionalità e mi è sparito un account secondario; peccato per la formattazione MarkDown e i post lunghi.
Colgo l'occasione per segnalare https://giretti.gatti.ninja/, istanza di Wanderer, alternativa ActivityPub a Komoot (più che a Strava), sulla quale ho caricato anche io dei percorsi e sarebbe bello vedere più popolata.

#fediHelp #fediVerse #activityPub
Just stumbled over #bridgyfed visited:
https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed
.. and stumbled over this detail of the instructions:
> First, fork and clone this repo. Then, install the #GoogleCloudSDK ..
So, to what extend does #backendAccess, #backDoors, and security risk including scrapping by AI could this involve by whom?
Options to block that "fediService" and all related servers?
* as a user
* for an entire instance

@netzbegruenung Auf #Mastdodon sind auch Beiträge und Kommentare die via #ActivityPub von einem anderen Netzwerk kommen, so wie dieser von #Friendica zu Euch. Ich könnte auch eine andere Mastodon-Instanz verwenden und antworten. Es wird also wirklich schwierig und die von @crossgolf_rebel im Kommentar gezeigten Links haben auch Abweichungen untereinander. Es gibt User die kommen von #Lemmy, auch ein Teil des Föderierten Netzwerks.
Mastodon ist für diejenigen die den #eXit und #unis4mastodon mitgemacht haben eine gute erste Anlaufstelle um sich umzusehen, sich zu orientieren. Ob sie auf Mastodon bleiben ist eine andere Frage. Ich bin nach langer Zeit auf Mastodon nun bei Friendica und habe meine Kontakte importiert. Also stellt sich die Frage wieviele Postings sind reine Mastodon-Erstellungen? Wieviele kommen über die kompatiblen Schnittstellen? Ich denke da wird es knifflig.

Why do you have facebook on here, rather than Mastodon?
You took the step to create a mastodon account, now the next step is to actually advertise that you're on Mastodon.
Realistically, how many linux developers use facebook?
Decentralized, open networks should be promoted by #FOSS foundations.
Why pander to the very systems you aim to reject?
The #Fediverse and #Activitypub are important pieces of technology, but are useless if nobody knows they exist, or WHY they were created in the first place.

With all the drama surrounding Bluesky moderation atm, I do want to specifically shoutout Blacksky for the effort they do in properly decentralising ATProto, even down to allowing other platforms to use their relay (I believe Wafrn does it). That sort of collaboration is why I've got hope for ATProto right now.
on Mastodon/fediverse, it really feels like progress to make it palatable for regular users has stagnated, while anything that would make progress gets the developers shouted at by people who despite cheerleading ActivityPub don't even know how it works. (otherwise the "fediscovery" proposal from Mastodon wouldn't have gotten shouted at by a privacy extremist weirdo).
There is some effort, I heard AP is looking at nomadic identity similar to AT, but I don't know if it'll be too late.

For #ONI the no fuss single user #ActivityPub service, I wanted to migrate from my custom hodge-podge of JavaScript logic for building CSS themes from images, to something a little more credentialed and battle tested.
Then I looked over what the Material library would generate and I begun to reconsider.
Material is so unsipired, it defaults to such samey, generic norm-core color palettes that it's difficult to see any changes even between vastly different images.
I think I'll just improve my own algorithm because, frankly, I want more GeoCities and less Enterprise.

How to Install #Pixelfed on #Ubuntu VPS (8 Step Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide for how to install Pixelfed on Ubuntu VPS.
What is Pixelfed?
PixelFed is a decentralized, open-source photo-sharing platform similar to Instagram but built on the #Fediverse (federated social networks using the #ActivityPub protocol). It allows users to host their own instances and interact with users across ...

Also der Umzug auf meine #GoToSocial Instanz läuft doch besser als gedacht. Noch ein bissel reinfuchsen und ich denke wir werden große Freunde :)

I never took #ruby or #dhh seriously, yet I have succeeded in life handily.
(actually I learned enough ruby that I can put debug statements in Mastodon which is, for better of worse, how I learned #activitypub)
