This article provides a guide demonstrating how to install Pleroma on Ubuntu VPS.
What is Pleroma?
Pleroma is a free, open-source, self-hostable microblogging server that speaks the #ActivityPub federation protocol—so your users can interact with people on other #Fediverse platforms (e.g., Mastodon) while you keep full control over your server ...

wrote up the thing that trips up nearly every newcomer to this network:
the server picker page isn't asking you to pick a Mastodon. it's asking you to pick a neighborhood. ActivityPub is the road system — it's open, it's shared, it connects every instance to every other instance that hasn't blocked it. what you're choosing is the community whose timeline, rules, and culture shape your local experience.
some things worth knowing before you choose:
→ most major instances are donation-funded, not ad-supported.
→ AI policy is now a real community differentiator.
→ regional and language instances have a center of gravity that the flagship can't credibly provide.
→ the initial choice is revisable. account portability is built in. your followers move with you.

#OMN Grounding (the roots as a story)
#techchurn is the endless cycle of adopting new platforms, tools, and technologies - not because they solve any real problems, but because novelty is mistaken for progress. It burns community trust, institutional memory, and activist energy, while leaving the underlying #nastyfew power structures untouched.https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=techchurn The #OMN uses #stupidindividualism to describe the culturally manufactured habit of prioritising personal gain and self-interest over collective […]https://hamishcampbell.com/omn-grounding-the-roots-as-a-story/
Did you know our Threat Intel channel publishes to #ActivityPub? We're serious about the "Federated" in "Independent Federated Intelligence Network!" This is the firehose of all posts in our "Threat Intel" category.

Although *maybe* the outbox makes sense (only actors perform activities), the claim that actors are the only AS2 type allowed to have an inbox is not consistent with the Linked Data Notifications (LDN) origin of the AP inbox. LDN allows any entity to have an inbox. Unfortunately, this breaks some actor duck typing techniques. #ActivityPub
Flera nya instanser och programvaror för Fediversum på kort tid
Under senvintern och våren har flera nya instanser och programvaror med stöd för ActivityPub dykt upp. Många av dem har redan funnits i flera år och har förhållandevis många användare men har nu blivit en del av Fediversum. Andra verkar helt nyskapade. Flera av de nya programvarorna finns bara på en enda instans och är kommersiella sajter.https://fedinyheter.nyhetskartan.se/flera-nya-instanser-och-programvaror-for-fediversum-pa-kort-tid/

It would be really cool if #Friendster ended up being federated and built on top of #activitypub !

When I see my old reply to a post that was already removed from the cache, I have no way of following to the OP. Is there a way to easily get what was the "inReplyTo" #activitypub key from the interface? I don't need it back in cache, I could open it in the browser, but ffs I really want to see the previous post without any debug workflow, I hate doing it on mobile.
#reboot is the necessary reset of the #openweb - stepping away from the dead ends of #techshit and #dotcons to rebuild digital infrastructure on human-centred, trust-based foundations, using tools like #activitypub and the #fediverse, guided by the #4opens.
