📢 @w3c Breakouts Day 2026!
🗓️ Join us tomorrow - 25 March 2026, 13:00–14:00 UTC
The #ActivityPub specification defines a social API and a federation protocol. Mastodon and compatible platforms implement the latter but not the former.
Join @evan's session to discuss the social #API, its value in the distributed social ecosystem, and the efforts to revive its use.

We could talk about this at the #2MR-conference and before and after that too!

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

Although light, I feel GoToSocial is enjoyable. The only thing I missed is just no link preview card for urls here.

@dusoft Nice project. Does it have, and if not, do you intend to add, a self-destruct command should someone spin up an instance of this #ActivityPub server and then take it down?

Hey guys, you read my troubles with developing an ActivityPub / Mastodon multibot instance yesterday? Well, I got it working in the end and have already migrate four bots and added another two to it.
And here is the code that I open source now:

All centralized social media inevitably becomes enshitified. That’s why the #Fediverse is so great (and important).

Thanks to everyone who attended the #NOAW unconference, & @manfredzielinski & @douwe from the @gemeenteamsterdam for all their support!
It was a pleasure to be a harbour for a great variety of space ships in the #fediverse
Main takeaway:
We ALL want to see more public institutions on the #Fediverse & there are people working on it.
More to be followed.. Stay tuned!

RE: https://www.psicospace.it/cose-mastodon-e-come-funziona-guida-semplice-al-social-del-fediverso/
Era da un po’ che volevo dedicare un articolo a #Mastodon
Ho provato a raccontare questo social in modo semplice, pensando soprattutto a chi è ancora fuori dal fediverso e cerca di capire come funziona.
Se vi va, condividetelo con chi potrebbe trovarlo utile.

> Maybe the perceived "drawbacks" of #ActivityPub are ultimately strengths?
This is where I disagree with the majority of current Fediverse.
> But wouldn't this make it easier to profile you?
Not really, no. Any sufficiently motivated entity can easily track internet activity, having different identities for different services does not really stop them.
