Odd question: does anyone know if there are good #mastodon or #fediverse instances active in #iran?
If so want to be sure to Federate them… https://www.wired.com/story/subvert-iran-internet-blackout/

I really like the ideals of #Calmtech and wonder what elements of this might be applicable to future #Fediverse apps...

In addition to the #Fediverse, #Tumblr had a good day yesterday.

What would folks think about the idea of setting up bots to auto-crosspost the tweets from these Ukrainian accounts into the fediverse on the theory that some might federate to RU and UA instances?

And: the official Twitter account of Ukraine: https://twitter.com/Ukraine

Does anyone have data on the #Fediverse's reach into #Ukraine or into #Russia?

Esp if there are good instances to support or to be sure we peer to?

Something to build to and to create in 2022. Something the #indieweb, #fediverse and #web3 are all striving for.

This #Indieweb principles quoted verbatim by Bruce Sterling in 2013, hold up pretty well…and I think apply to a lot of #Fediverse and #Web3 efforts, too….

This is cool, and should be built into #mastodon and #fediverse search.

A great resource for where things #indieweb and things #Fediverse overlap and build on each other.

Would be interesting to see if any alliance between #fediverse hosting or Indieweb hosting and IFPS and #filecoin

"The vast majority of the internet's data is stored by 3 companies. Filecoin is attempting to build a decentralized internet so we don't have to rely on these companies."

A case for the #indieweb - which I think largely makes the same case for self-hosted #fediverse instances:

"There is an alternative to corporate bubbles online — it’s called the IndieWeb. Build your own personal websites, control your online presence, and learn on your own terms."

https://wp-dd.com/a-case-for-the-indieweb-smashing-magazine/

Yes. "The #Fediverse needs more developers."

"I ran through the 42 repos of every site in the Social Media category, adding the notably absent Diaspora, and I get a grand total of 76 active developers. Looking at the commit logs and pretty graphs I’d estimate that putting it in terms of full-time developers, we’re in the single digits."

Happy 13th Birthday, #Fediverse!

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)
