Happy 13th Birthday, #Fediverse!

#fediverse13

In essence, DHH is advocating for #Indieweb social actions vs. big platforms and I totally agree. And think the #Fediverse could benefit by building itself in this direction.

"Everything from everyone all the time is too much. It's unnatural and it's unhealthy. We weren't built to listen to hundreds if not thousands of people every day.

Tools that let individuals publish, but do not seek to amplify them or force them viral, give us that natural, human scale."

Hey all: am going to be updating this page on our Instance website, cleaning out some inactive ones, and adding new voices in the #Fediverse #Indieweb #HumaneTech #Calmtech and #Openweb space that are in the Fediverse.

Any suggestions for new additions?

The more I think about #mastodon features that would be strategic, the more I think folks should build in features and tools for hyper-local communities to use. Lean in on "instances" intended specifically for networks of a dozen (or at least under 100) friends and family. In essence a replacement for "FB groups."

The #Fediverse certainly do more, but that seems like a strategic opportunity. In essence what Darius Kazemi has been thinking about for a while.

So fascinating to see what a burning trash fire, Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have been this election season (disinfo, white nationalists, etc) compared to what I've seen here on the #Fediverse during this same last 90 days.

Posting this here, too. #Mastodon #fediverse

#Mastodon has already built so many of these ideas in. Which ones do you think are good ideas and still lacking inside Mastodon or the #Fediverse?

What is the #Fediverse 2.0? (Made me laugh a bit)

Someone really needs to build a web based wizard-like tool helping those who want to #deleteFacebook and Instagram migrate as much as can be salvaged from their social friends and content over to #mastodon and #pixifed. #fediverse

Folks: are there good places on web, other accounts, or key bloggers to announce this instance? Looking for it to be seen by technologists and activists who care about #Openweb #Indieweb, #Fediverse and related tech... Let me know...

"Even in the shadow of Big Tech monopolies, WordPress and other mature open source ecosystems still represent their antithesis, like a vast network of old-growth forests connected to small stands of young saplings.....

The wild, biodiverse forest image is a good one for us ...it is an image of social, interdependent, and very different individuals....we are doing our part to keep the web wild and healthy." #openweb #indieweb #opensource #fediverse

Here is a pretty good list of #Fediverse based, #ActivityPub based web apps and services... https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub

Looks like #Discourse discussion forums are considering #Fediverse support... https://meta.discourse.org/t/federation-support-for-discourse/90921/6

Hello, #Fediverse. This instance is starting to get all it's ducks in a row. Hope for a formal real launch by Tuesday. 🤞
