Kinda funny that we’ve gone full circle. Used to be, in the olden days, you’d dial into your buddy’s BBS over 9600 baud modem dialup. Boop beep beep boop beep beep boop. You’re in! It’s a goldmine, filled with interesting discussions, the most niche possible, nothing like you could ever find in the mainstream flesh.
Then we went commercial. The ISPs, search engine portals, and big websites funneling people into massive groups of random amalgamation communities. No real cohesion or commonality, just a trough to feed from for ad monetization. Followed quickly with walled gardens of all sizes and shapes, and also questionable allegiances to community vs. commercial interest. Soon even these groups were torn asunder, and needed to find a way back…
And now here we are. Logging into our buddy’s federated instance with an AP protocol. At Toot toot toot at toot toot toot dot net. You’re in! It’s a goldmine, filled with interesting discussions, the most niche possible, nothing like you could ever find in the mainstream flesh.

I just did a video-chat with @sl007 —
(This is the first time we chatted.)
We talked about a number of Fediverse related things.
One of those things was — having a regular (online) meeting.
A regular (online) meeting for Fediverse developers, for those who care about the Fediverse as a social movement, and for those who care about the success of the Fediverse.
I have heard others say this, too, over and over again.
(And, at times, we have had them before.)

𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢 💙 that was fun 💙
so this popped up as #framatube which appears to be part of #PeerTube. but I couldn't "like" the vid w/o signing in
i just posted on yt about the need for liberal media to find a yt alternative, & since coming to Mastodon & learning of peertube, this seems like an obvious choice
so can someone explain to a neophyte why i can watch a video that's on the #fediverse but not like it? must i sign in to every instance i visit?

Wenn ich wieder fit bin, werde ich das #Fediverse in am System der "konvivialen Matrix" von Andrea Vetter vermessen und bestenfalls meine Ergebnisse beim #fedistammtisch präsentieren.

Seems I lost 17 followers, and 22 I followed by blocking two domains today.
I my previous #fediverse life I have been called a dick twice for speaking up against #antisemitism. In stead of complaining and reporting this time I just blocked the domains. To the people mentioned, I will miss you. Hope to find you again somewhere ifyou join another instance one day.
