    I'm thinking about setting up and running my own #relay #server for #mastodon and #pleroma as there seems to be a decreasing number of these that take in core and key traffic as times goes by. Resulting in fewer initial servers being maintained long term. The #fediverse and #ActivityPub deserve some love.

    Whoa! This is huge! This helps turn #WordPress into a more #Fediverse friendly site, especially for photo or video blogs. I guess this technically means that WordPress is blurring the line between a #Fediblog, a photo site (like #Pixelfed) & a video platform (like #PeerTube).The only thing missing is an ability to “smoothly” import/export #ActivityPub sites, although that would probably require a whole separate process or another plugin.Overall, this is great! https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle/116181160168023095

    @django @liaizon @voboda When looking through the lens of Social experience design we can say that the fediverse-we-have and the #ActivityPub social network promise in the W3C specs, have become diverged to the extent they are hard forks.A #SX solution is said to exist as soon as you can write it down on a sticky note in the form of a vision, need, objective, or solution.The AS/AP fediverse sticky note reads: "The future of social networking is decentralized".The fediverse-we-have note reads: "Decentralized microblogging"Besides that both sticky notes express a tech focus, exist in the technosphere not sociosphere, they express no vision.. A place where we want to be, and why. There is complete misconception both on technical, let alone social direction, and that leads to endless confusion and again those mismatched expectations.App devs now try to hammer their apps onto "Decentralized microblogging" in hopes "future of social networking" somehow emerges. That is unlikely.

    "The open social web today consists primarily of two protocols, ActivityPub and ATProto, each with very different ideas about how to organize social life online."@laurenshof@connectedplaces.online https://connectedplaces.online/where-does-community-live/I would say 3; Matrix is also a social web protocol. What you say about these 2 protocols in the rest of the paragraph applies just as much to Matrix;(1/2)#SocialWeb #ActivityPub #ATProto@laurenshof@indieweb.social

    @wjmaggos @scripting I keep thinking we need a way to tie all of our Fedi profiles together. For example, if my CMS supports #ActivityPub or #ATProto, and I'm also here on Mastodon with Bridgy connecting me to Bluesky, and it's all reasonably open... somehow my profile ought to be a composite of all my available federated resources...

    @wjmaggos @wallabag my take exactly. My first focus on all social media now is federated.Anything owned by billionaires is an also ran.

    At the #tootwales event, saw the app launch for a #community with a focus on #ease of use, #choice of content and #respect for human connection.Based on the #interoperability of the #fediverse, several services can be easily combined to provide community owned content. https://croeso.toot.wales/#activitypub

    @smallcircles I had to think for a moment but I think I'd call it a space station. A place kinda out if this world ( as it's in direct violation of the corporate model of profit above all else). Where all kinds of fabulous aliens can exchange tips, ideas and convers on many different subjects in a mostly calm and civil manner while they wait to refuel

    Even more than Gleam community the AS/AP based fediverse faces existential threats where it comes to the promise to lead us towards "the future of social networking", a peopleverse. And #AI poses high danger risks that must be known, so we can anticipate and mitigate them timely.But above all we have to find ways to constructively collaborate with each in this chaotic grassroots environment we are part of.#Collaboration and #cocreation at scale, organic growth and sustainable evolution are applied research areas of Social coding commons, where participants add value while working on their own solutions, following their self-interests in alignment with those of other peopleTo folks who are interested in the general subject matter I addressed above, I recommend watching the talk given by Michiel Leenaars of @nlnet at #FOSDEM last month:"FOSS in times of war, scarcity and (adversarial) AI" by @michiel https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/FE7ULY-foss-in-times-of-war-scarcity-and-ai/#SX #SocialCoding #fediverse #ActivityPub #SocialWeb

    RE: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116154415408228188@Coho @maikel I think we also have to be careful and gauge the extent to which we get informed on problems by the way we shaped our own bubble / echo chamber over time.Today for instance I sent a poll and got astoundingly and delightful positive responses on how people experience #fediverse..I intend to follow up with another poll. But the poll results already show a new paradigm of social networking that #fediverse which Social experience design calls #PersonalSocialNetworking. On the fedi you are in control over your own #SocialExperience by carefully curating your social graph.https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#personal-social-networkingHere's that poll btw, which will run for 6 more days. Curious about the final results.#SX #SocialCoding #SocialWeb #ActivityPub

    There's a new project called Holos which makes it a lot easier to host a Fediverse server on your own mobile device. You can follow the project at:️ @HolosSocial The official site explains how it works:️ https://holos.social/how-it-worksTo manage expectations, it's still in its early days and mainly for techy people at the moment. However, it will be interesting to follow its development Holos is by the makers of the popular Mastodon/Fediverse mobile app Fedilab.#SelfHosting #Fediverse

    @fd93 Discourse is not distributed (#ActivityPub) and people need a distinct account. Discourse is also good for knowledge management, questions and answers pages, newsletters. It encourages longer posts.

    @soundsbeard Interesting. I have no idea how the #ActivityPub system works, but on YT people also complain a lot about not getting notifications for channels they are subscribed to

    #TheFediverse, a #decentralised #network of interconnected #socialmedia platforms, offers a potential path to digital sovereignty for #Canadians. While it provides user choice and data control, challenges like funding, user adoption, and content moderation persist. Despite these hurdles, proponents believe the Fediverse’s open-source nature and potential for user empowerment make it a worthwhile endeavour. https://betakit.com/can-canada-find-digital-sovereignty-in-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
