#Federati: Do you think it's acceptable to use #Lemmy given that the developer is a hardcore #tankie?

(Boost for reach is appreciated).

Both #Bluesky and #Twitter will focus far more on monetisation than on decentralisation. They need confrontation and provocation for that. If we, the #federati, understand that and avoid that black hole, we can build something that lasts. That stays. That grows. That's my sincere hope.

Another vote for ghost 👻 and #federati is definitely great

What #Mastodon/#ActivityPub brings back to the internet is the #SharingByDefault attitude. The joy of sharing to people that genuinely value your messages and interact accordingly. This breaks the ad-driven, centralised model. It threatens it. So keep on tooting, fellow #federati ;)

And again I will retreat to my collection of duvets and a hot cocoa while reading another SF book before I gently fall asleep. CU tomorrow, dear #federati :)

My #Federati: do I have any good #dentists or #dentalSurgeons in my little pocket of mastodon friends?

I'm about to go through an another Dental Experience and would like to hear from people who do dental surgery to chill me out.

How do you make your patients feel less anxious? What do you do, what do you say?

How do you make a patient take, after many years of good and bad experiences, take another chance?

Twitterati style: "I still see people posting without alt text. That's bad. Don't be like that!"

#Federati Style: "I love to boost posts that have pix with alt text! Keep em coming! Thank you for that!"

Be(come) a #Federati, it makes your digital life so much better :)

#Moin ihr #Federati!

4/4

the threaded post was selected and the other posts in the main stream faded away, while the thread expanded into a drawer-style stream.

everyone seems excited about a new #piñafork release in this excited sidebar.

hopefully my rationale justifies this redesign; by baking the assumption of unlisted posts into the interface we’ll never need to think of it. and we can have more flexibility with who and how we as the #federati engage with one another and hopefully fostering closer friendships online.

@mg hello! i hope you are well.

i would like to inquiry about potential services business with you. i would like hometown exposed on home.actuality.network and pinafore exposed on actuality.network and any git service exposed on code.actuality.network.

i would like to be able to commit on git and trigger deployments for hometown and pinafore.

i have the domain and can update the dns records to point to the server.

the pinafore fork will be the #piñafork flavor i’m starting on, available for any #federati to use.

the hometown service will be vanilla and kept at parity with friend camp

i will start as informed admin and invites will only be distributed to people i meet in person.

i will operate with rough consensus until i comply with demands of the community to be overthrown and replaced with a better form of governance.

does running this service sound interesting to you ? i am curious about your rates and would like to pay your market value.

you can direct message me for privacy, but if you would like to respond publicly to share your skillset with potential viewers, i leave the door open.

i humbly await your response.

#federati tip:

struggling to make friends?

don’t reply before liking or boosting content to make a first impression of “non-confrontational”

after easing into their consciousness as a decent human, try talking to them. small talk first.

“very cool, nicely done!”
“what got you into interest?”

avoid bad first impressions by not leading interactions with things like:

“why is this a race issue”
“elon musk crushed it at the improv last night”

A non-representative, probably very biased observation: German posts often have a negative tendency. Dutch posts are often direct and rude but not in a negative way. The fresh NewHere crowd coming over from birdsite often start here in a German style ;) Surrounding yourself with other ex-birdsite folks instead of looking for the “native” #federati makes you stay negative for longer.

Starting to think it was a mistake to use #fedifinder and follow all those from birdsite that also have an account here. This infected my timeline with the negativity that defined Twitter for me in the last few months. I guess I will unfollow them all again and hope for more mature #federati to follow :)

Do bubbles exist here that are stuck in negativity? Oh, yes! Damn sure. Are these bubbles growing? ATM, due to the influx of #twitterati that are still used to gaining traction by controversy - absolutely. But they will either stay a rather closed group or they will understand and become better citizens of the fediverse. Give it time. And gently offer a helping hand through being a good #federati ;) I’m trying to do just that.

To help new #federati fill their timeliene, I will continue to almost immediately follow back when you follow me. HOWEVER - only when you have profile picture and at least one short sentence in your bio. Deal? :) !t

Just as I like the term #Twitterati, even though it is a bit derogatory, I'd love to be called a #Federati because I prefer federated, open systems like Mastodon ;)
