Scam na platformie Mastodon, obiecują weryfikację konta, kradną dane kart
Rok temu opisywaliśmy działania, które wyglądały trochę jak próba phishingu na Mastodonie, a w praktyce były zabawą z platformą i żartem. Tym razem opisywane oszustwa są prawdziwe i mogą doprowadzić do utraty pieniędzy. TLDR: Dla przypomnienia, Mastodon, to oprogramowanie tworzące sieć społecznościową, która w Fediwersum miała być odpowiednikiem Twittera. Składa się ona z niezależnych instancji,...

Es hat leider meinerseits ewig gedauert, aber das #Interview mit Andrew J Raven zu seinem #Hörbuch "Der Herr der Toten" ist jetzt online.
Es spielt zwar in einer #Fantasy Welt, verhandelt aber übergeordnet die Thematik von #Freiheit auf der einen Seite und #Frieden sowie #Einheit auf der anderen.
Andrew gewährt im Artikel interessante Einblicke in u.a. die Erfahrungen als #Selfpublisher, mit dem #Fediverse und die Stimmgenerierung mit #ElevenLabs: https://der-hoerold.blogspot.com/2025/08/andrew-j-raven-der-herr-der-toten.html

Mam w sumie wrażenie, że największy ruch na Mastodonie mają tę boty co udostępniają wpisy innych, gdy pojawia się w nich jakiś tag XD
Niby coś jest, hasztagi czasami żyją, ale nadal trudno znaleźć coś na dłużej :V

Tomorrow, I will introduce you to an anonymous, minimalist writing platform!
With:
- weekly themes to inspire short texts of 300–1,000 characters.
- Daily reveals of the previous day's writings that create collective literary moments at 6 UTC.
- No account creation required, just optional signatures.
- multilingual content (EN/FR subdomains, with more to come soon).
- RSS feeds for slow reading
- SmolWeb compatible!!!

Best case scenario, #Fediverse users are getting healthier and spending less time on social media?
Because it seems that if people stop using social media, they will be happier and healthier
So if people start using #Mastodon instead of all their other social media accounts, then stop using Mastodon, that might be a net social good 🤷🏻♂️

I've seen https://arewedecentralizedyet.online on HN today, and it's ötter bs, makes me angry.
Why?
- website doesn't work without js. but it totally could.
- we don't need a website for every chart grafic data that could be just posted as regular post
- it got hundreds of comments on HN, while HN still not allowing guest comments without registration, neither via ActivityPub
Regarding the biased data of the website itself. I'm not a fan of BS (or bitch@). Somehow only 2 projects showcased, completely ignoring other real decentralized alternatives like ZeroNet, AutonomiDweb, @librecast, nostr, Freenet \ Hyphanet, blockchain-based projects, #LBRY , dApps, etc
^That's main complain of my post.
Quality != Quantity
I do prefer using Fediverse+ActivityPub over BS. However, what irratates me is data representation of belief that many servers\instances on many domains on many clients are good actors and sign of decentralization. It might be good under perfect weather conditions, but it is not protected against Sybill, 51% attack, bots, sockpuppetry etc ...
If Jack\BS spawn hundreds of servers under hundred domains with LLMs larping as humans, to look more "decentralized" on https://arewedecentralizedyet.online - you don't have software or algorythmic protection from that.
Secure Scuttlebutt protocol could offer an such protection, but it lacks of modern developers & resources.
turns out that's a site of Rob Ricci, a research professor (I wonder if CS?) who build cloud infrastructre (so he should be aware of how easy is to spin hundreds of vm's with 1 click)
@happyborg I do believe that network protocol projects, such as AutonomiDweb, should be in hands of Non-Profits.
ActivityPub specification, standartisation is in hands of non profit w3c.
I've thought Mastodon Gmbh is a commercial company from Germany, but internet says it's 503 Non profit in US. I won't mind if private company does fair business with FLOSS.
But BS is full for profit, so they have incentive to manipulate market\network.
