@davidslifka @algorithms

Really? You would like to see s world where someone else chooses for you, what you will and won't see?

It's okay though, because they gave you several choices.

I think not.

Fediverse platforms allow the user to create their own algorithms - we can have it our way. We decide for ourselves what we will and won't see.

Clients like #Fedilab take this to the next level as do platforms like #Calckey, #Friendica, and #Quanta.

I'll design my own algos thank you.

Friendica is pretty awesome, and it's no surprise that it's featureful nature leaves things like mastodon in the dust when you consider it's been thriving for over a decade in the Fediverse.

There's also #Hubzilla and #Quanta, the latter of which doesn't yet support support federated groups but both can publish long form, support various text formats, and can publish web pages.

I'm pretty sure that the #Fediverse is one of the first social networks I've been on that didn't ever ask me to betray any of the people in my address book.

@mike it will be nice when you do this for #Fediverse instances instead of just mastodon - you're missing out on the majority amount of the available servers and types of media.

Also, what about #Android and Web?

Many here would rather have seen, "and you haven't set up your very own Mastodon server, I'm so sorry but you're missing out on something special." As:

"your very own Fediverse server..."

Mastodon is good and all, but that message fails to capture the significance of the many capable #Fediverse platforms that do many prefer:

#Friendica #Mitra #Misskey #Pleroma #Hometown #FunkWhale #Pixelfed #PeerTube #Soapbox #Quanta #Cakckey #Hubzilla #Akkoma #MicroblogPub #Foundkey and many more

@ethanz

And you should return the favor by never posting unsanitized Twitter links to the #Fediverse either 🙂

I recommend you do a search for "IndyWeb POSSE" program. Which explains the philosophy behind only posting Fediverse links into the deprecated legacy silos, and never posting unsanitized links from places there like twitter into the Fediverse.

Basically, you do a disservice posting links in the Fediverse that lead people to the very monolithic, privacy disrespecting silos that they've already left behind.

Instead, if you even bother to use those deprecated legacy silo systems, post links bringing the people there at places like twitter to content that exists here in the Fediverse, thereby providing incentives to create accounts on Fediverse platforms like #Friendica, #FunkWhale, #MicroPub, #Mitra, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Quanta, Etc., Thereby joining the Fediverse 👍

If you find that you really must post a link leading to one of the deprecated silos, then please consider #sanitizing such links. i.e., in the case of Twitter, you can use the very popular #Nitter by just replacing the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" in the URL.

If you're on #Android, #Fedilab does this "automagically" for you if you have safe posting enabled.

If you're on desktop, there's a whole list of similar sanitation tools you can use for #Reddit, for example, by changing the domain in the URL to #Teddit .net and similar tools for #InstaSPAM, #Quora, and many others too. For #YouTube, you can use #Invidious.

A long list of these privacy protecting utilities is provided at:

https://pussthecat.org/

And you can install Fedilab from F-Droid too:

https://Fedilab.App

You can also install the #UntrackMe app at F-Droid for generating safe links when not posting to the Fediverse - desks details are at three Fedilab website above.

I hope that helps!

Mastodon IS NOT the #Fediverse!

The #BDFL of that project saying it's is "vital" illustrates the branding philosophy and corporate, ego driven mindset behind so many PRs and requests that have repeatedly been rejected by an overwhelming amount of Fediverse users and developers - just look at how many 👎 "thumbs down" 👎 reactions his post received (that is rarely seen on GitHub).

His language and marketing have been largely successful, confusing newcomers during this Twitter egress (including media coverage) and conflating just what the Fediverse and mastodon are...

People are saying, "I just joined mastodon!" - NO, you did not. You just joined the "Fediverse", by creating an account on a mastodon server. Even newcomers creating accounts on #Friendica and #Pleroma servers are often seen saying this, and it needs to "STOP".

The Fediverse is the network they are joining, and mastodon is just one of a dozen or so viable platforms that people can use to do so.

Truth be told, mastodon is one of the least feature complete Fediverse server platforms, lacking in many of the most basic social networking tools and features that most other popular server platforms introduced ages ago.

It doesn't even render Markdown, have have quotable boosting, only introduced editing of posts a couple of weeks back, and has a hard coded limit of a paltry 500 characters for each post, forcing users to create those confusingly chronologically backward hellthreads that are interspersed and broken up in everyone's feeds, and there's many more deficiencies to list here.

This is why there are so many different forks.

When you create a #PeerTube account, you haven't joined the PeerTube network - you've joined the Fediverse!

When you create a #Pixelfed account, you haven't joined the Pixelfed network - you've joined the Fediverse!

If you create a mastodon account, you haven't joined "mastodon" - you've joined three Fediverse!

There is no such thing as a mastodon network!

It's just one type of Fediverse server platform, among many, like:

#Akkama, Pleroma, Friendica, #Lemmy, #Soapbox, #Misskey, PeerTube, #Mitra, Pixelfed, #MicroPub, #Epicyon, #Quanta, #GoToSicial, #Socialhome, #FunkWhale, and many many other platforms that open up the entire Fediverse to people, allowing them to share and seamlessly communicate with one another.

There are analogs for #Faceplant, #Twitter, #InstaSPAM, #Reddit, and pretty much any type of social networking experience you can find in the deprecated, centralized, legacy silo systems that cannot, and do not wish to interact with each other - which the Fediverse breaks the paradigm of, and empowers everyone engage with each other globally.

Mastodon's marketing has very deliberately been designed to subvert that narrative and replace this reality with its own, self serving commercial interests to the detriment of Fediverse itself.

A wake up call us coming very soon when the #non_FOSS based platforms like #Tumblr and #Imgur join their (millions) substantial user bases to the Fediverse at which time, mastodon itself may find itself drowned out and largely irrelevant due to its very lacking feature set, and ask if the other existing Fediverse platforms providing so much more if what is possible for us all.

This is typically what happens when your development is driven by egocentric, ulterior motives (whether he actually realizes this about himself or not) to benefit yourself personally - just look at how his donations have jumped, even though newcomers are creating accounts on other Fediverse and mastodon servers begging for donations that for the most part are going directly to him.

@clay

Because aside from #Quanta, #Hubzilla, and perhaps maybe kinda sorta Friendica, there isn't a good publishing vehicle that also serves as a social platform that can double as business website and media/content engine.

I smh when I see so-called authors & journalists try to use platforms like mastodon and Twitter, with their paltry character count limits, pretend to publish news, tutorials, stories, or articles - the best they ever can do is push a teaser with a link to a separate site.

@robinhouston personally I think the responsibility falls on the editor that gives the final "OK". But I agree, we should cut #Quanta some slack. Overall it's produced high quality articles all these years it's been around. And I hope it continues producing high quality articles for the years to come.

#PelaInternet (Through the Internet), as the name implies, is a song that talks about how the Internet was shaping the world in the 1990s, with a callback to "Pelo Telefone", a samba from the 1910s that did the same with the telephone

in 1996, with the #Quanta lead single (the album is a masterpiece; great lyrics dealing with science themes, #Grammy winner), #GilbertoGil became the first Brazilian artist to release a song in a livestream (yes, 1996!)

There's an awful lot taken for granted nowadays, where "Read a card, write a card", is an almost incomprehensible concept.

@7homaslin Hi Thomas, I've been reading #Quanta Magazine for ages and subscribe to the podcasts - really enjoy your content, thanks!

@JoeSondow

Why don't you either stop posting reverse chronological hellthreads or switch to a #Fediverse server that is actually capable of accommodating charscter counts greater than the paltry 500 that MastoPub permits?

Like #Quanta, #Friendica, #Soapbox, #Mitra, #Misskey or any one if the other fine Fediverse servers.

Just please, so doing that!

All of the following servers have at least 2000 character count limits or more:
