Are there any other clubs, groups or associations besides the actively advancing the Fediverse?
We should connect. 🤝

So far I know of:


and a club being founded by @Aakerbeere
Which are all active in German speaking countries. But there must be many more all over the world.

I'm looking for any non-profit legal entity that hosts their own server(s) and/or promotes the Fediverse.

Dear fellow fediverse admins!

== Call for Action ==

We have been made aware of an issue associated with the recent migration of the Mastodon instance climatejustice.global.

The Mastodon instance climatejustice.global has been migrated from the former hosting provider masto.host to the private infrastructure of the fediverse.foundation.
All media files were formerly hosted by masto.host's CDN located at cdn.masto.host/ , and those URLs are now no longer valid.

This means that every Fediverse instance that has formerly federated with climatejustice.global now most likely has broken links for all remote media URLs related to posts and media from climatejustice.global in their databases.
This results in previously cached media from climatejustice.global not loading or showing correctly when accessed by local users.

We have provided a PSA with means to identify and resolve the issue here:

* wiki.apps.fedi.at/books/fedive

It takes only a couple of minutes to check/fix the issue, so if you could find the time to check if you're affected it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance and please excuse the inconvenience!

Too many ideas for things to do...
None of them would make any money.

Which of these ideas should I keep pursuing?

1) A new activism group, that doesn't spend money on social media ads. So it will have a hard time growing big.

2) A webportal for onboarding people to different activism groups. You answer a questionnaire and then you get (a) suggestion(s).

3) A non-profit that plants and 's.

4) None of them. So I have more time to work on the .

Well hello then new people.
Glad you are here.

I guess the first question has to be: What the fuck took you so long!?!

Okay no, let's leave that aside.
I'm really happy you all came and hope you'll enjoy it here.

I guess a is in order:

Dear Fediverse,
I'm out of money.

How did this happen?
I had quite a bit of money on my account a year ago, but then my grandmother died. I had previously cared for her and got a bit of money for it as well as living rent-free in her house and getting my food payed by her.
Since then I live off my savings.
I am in a bad place mentally and am not able to work, but so far I get absolutely no money from the state (this could change in a month or so).

So with no income I have to pay:

~500€/month for the house (highly variable)
600+€/month for therapy
~240€/month for food
410€/month for the server*
~50€/month for domains*

*The Fediverse Foundation will probably soonish take over here.

So about 1.800€ in total.
I'll definitely try to use up less money, sell stuff and I'll also ask friends and family for money, but a little will help me a lot.

If you can, please visit paulatothepeople.eu/donations to help me out.

Thanks so much. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

It's something I'll decide with the other mods and admins, but I'll ask the general populous anyway:

Should we sign the ?
fedipact.online

Or in other words, should we block all instances that gather data and send it to (Facebook, Instagram) or should we embrace them?

Please also answer whether you are on one of the instances:
climatejustice.social
climatejustice.rocks
climatejustice.global
climatejustice.photos
climatescience.es
mtg.garden
mental.camp
indiepop.band
fedi.at
kaernten.space
burgenland.space
wien.rocks

(Post inspired by @dansup)

:fedi: I joined the Fediverse in 2018
:masto: I started the Mastodon instances climatejustice.global climatejustice.social climatejustice.rocks wien.rocks and fedi.at which all took off
:joinfediversewiki: I wrote guides about the Fediverse and later started the joinfediverse.wiki and integrated my guides there.
🇦🇹 I am in the process of founding a non-profit in Austria called fediverse.foundation with a few friends to fund my instances, promote the Fediverse and maybe also fund some software in the future.
🏘️ I started the fediverse.town forum for non-techy Fediverse discussion, which hasn't taken off yet
📝I designed flyers and stickers to promote the Fediverse
👶I started some instances that haven't taken off yet either
🤔 I'm sure I forgot some things...

"A French, a German, and an Italian..." should enter the bar and define a fediverse instance GDPR notice that does not totally suck, then a list of standard processes, etc.
GDPR can help the fediverse big time, if work is started early. Just think "purpose limitation", would not we like it in GAFAMs?

Really, we should think up a /#FediverseSociety before the ritual "business friendly" US association comes around telling us what the fediverse is. It should be of EU right, because GDPR is on the users' side. It may eventually work out a Code of Conduct. It would be one voice capable of speaking up and be heard.

There are no billions to make with the fediverse, nor should there be. But there is a lot of honest, paid work ahead if we let go of the Far West frontier bullshit myths and work as a society. I want thousands of small and micro instances safely run by people who can make an honest buck of it, either as a full or part time job, depending on size. And I would like it to fund a one-user server that runs on a cheap mobile.

I know, I should sleep more. But if I didn't still believe a better world is possible I'd be enjoying the perks of a C-level at my age, not working 700km from my family and on the 6:22 to the umpteenth cert exam.
