I was thinking about forking ActivityPub and calling it ActivityCafe.
It will natively only support 'ristretto' connections, and the only allowed emoji is 🤌.

Seit meinem Jobwechsel merke ich wieder, wie weird ich offenbar wirke 😅

"Wie, du nutzt weder WA noch Insta?!"
"Hä? Du hast Android, aber keinen Play Store?"
"Du nutzt Fedi ... was? Social Media ohne Doomscrolling? Also in langweilig?"

Mein altes Umfeld hat sich inzwischen daran gewöhnt. Neue Leute erinnern mich daran, wie ungewöhnlich das noch immer ist ... 🤷‍♂️ 😂

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich meinen lieben Fedinautys ein erholsames und möglichst BigTech- und GAFAM-freies Wochenende! 🤗

HAPPY FRIDAY! HELLO MASTODON! #mastodon #fediverse #Friday #dogsofmastodon #dogs #photography #photo #sunset #pets

Hey Bands, Labels, Fanzines, Veranstalter & sonstige...

Wir haben wieder viele Aufkleber gedruckt, um das Fediverse zu bewerben.

Wer will Aufkleber auf Konzerte am Merch auslegen, die Clubs zu kleben, beim Mailorder / Fanzine in die Päckchen beilegen usw?
Sagt Bescheid, dann nehmen wir welche zum Back To Future Festival nach Glaubitz mit. Ansonsten schicken wir sie euch.

Übrigens, die neue Website geht noch vor dem @BackToFuture online!

P.S. Thx an @ftrc für sein magisches Händchen beim Aufkleber schön machen ❤️

Hi, #Fediverse! #HappyFriday. What ya doing today?

You are beautiful.

Inside and outside. Yes, both.

Love,
Your friendly #Fediverse fluffdragon

It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.

@daj @82mhz @stefano

The arbitrary limits in #Mastodon are a little infuriating.

And I really want to like Mastodon. It was my first experience on the #fediverse, and I actually like the UI/UX, for the most part.

"What do you want to do?"

The new https://fediverse.info will be a powerful onboarding resource, and is shipping later this week!

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

Also, these are some stills from the most recent #AnimationArray episode on https://tv.theindiebeat.fm. Each still represents an incredible piece of animation sent in by folks from the #Fediverse and beyond (probably Bluesky).

Maybe you should send in your animations too?

Forty years of the internet: how the world changed for ever

This article is more than 16 years old
In October 1969, a student typed 'LO' on a computer - and the internet was born..

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

Still a fave...

#mastodon #fediverse #comics

Alt...

Comic of kid asking mom 'Mommy, what is fediverse?" Mom, says "Don't look at them, Ricky. I don't want you influenced by... Oh, god, no!" Next frame has kid festooned with tax-the-rich, environmental, FOSS and other logographics to do with common fediverse causes, and Ricky saying, "It is too late, mother - I have seen everything."

I love that on the regular internet, you can be like "I need to find out what part this is on my 2025 car" and all the results you get back are for car rentals, people trying to sell you a car, trying to buy your car, or AI slop videos explaining to you what a car is in the least intelligible way possible.

But... in the #Fediverse you can be like "anybody know the correct wiring layout and voltages for a 1974 "Passion-o-Meter" novelty Love Tester from Hanlon Amusements in Fairbanks, Alabama? I found one while doing recreational free diving in a cave system in Peru and I'm trying to put it back together again" and not only does NOBODY question any part of the insane statement made, but three people who happen to specialize in that exact sort of thing immediately emerge from the woodwork like the reverse of Homer Simpson going into the hedge.

The concentration of power in Silicon Valley happened partly because we let it. We accepted a few platforms as inevitable. We built our communities there because that’s where everyone was. It wasn’t because their technology is better. It was a choice—made again and again by the people on those platforms, by investors, and by policymakers.

A different choice is possible, but it requires that those of us building alternatives actually believe what we say about cooperation. It means assuming good faith from people building different projects. It means investing in infrastructure that doesn’t benefit us alone.

We, the builders of the open social web, are the only ones who can make that choice.

It starts with deciding that our mission matters more than winning alone.

#Mastodon 4.6 is here! It's been a long time in the works, but it's finally ready. In this release, we're introducing Collections—a way to share curated collections of profiles to help old and new users discover more of the #Fediverse. We're also updating the look of profiles, alongside many quality of life and accessibility improvements. Read more here:

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Noor Al Shams Team (@Ahmed_Gaza_Celiac)
• khalil (@khalilmansy)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

I checked 4160 fediverse instances for their connectivity.

- A / AAAA record persent
- Reachabliltiy over #IPv6 if AAAA present.

107 Instances announce AAAA records but have broken inbound IPv6

1909 are #LegacyIP #IPv4only

2141 are #DualStack and have working inbound #IPv6

Way to go.

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

BREAKING NEWS

Le #Fediverse se divise !
Suite à une question anodine, deux forks incompatibles, le #Fediroue et le #Fediporte, sont apparus sur la toile.

Les automobilistes essaient de rassembler tout le monde en leur disant qu'il est possible d'avoir des portes et des roues mais la team #Velotaf rend leur discours inaudible. Le #fediroue prend l'avantage.
Les portes-manteaux, les portes-paroles et les portefeuilles essaient de renforcer le #Fediporte mais les oppositions sont vives.

This is the panel with #fediverse queen @_elena btw 👸

Also great contributions from @bjoernsta , @michael and Sherif Elsayed-Ali. #pubconf2026

Elena Rossini talking about the fediverse

The @EUCommission just released a statement positioning open source as central to #Europe’s #TechSovereignty.

We couldn’t agree more. #OpenSource is critical to a robust and independent society.

Here’s our full statement: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/europes-new-tech-strategy-puts-open-source-front-and-centre/

#Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb #OpenWeb #DigitalSovereignty

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116686738841941842

According to the @EUCommission #TechSovereignty package, released today, the #EU is currently reliant on foreign providers for over 80% of its critical digital products, services, and infrastructure. We're thrilled to see the Commission acknowledge that this is an issue, and lay out a strategy to fix it.

We view this announcement as validation of Mastodon’s mission at the highest level; the Commission’s strategy is grounded in European values that Mastodon shares including security, sustainability, and human-centric design.

What’s more, the EU's explicit strategy is to build and deeply invest in #OpenSource offerings across the entire technology stack. The significant nature of this commitment provides institutional validation and will bring significant policy, funding, and competitive advantages to open source projects like #Mastodon.

Fedizens! Please send me your favourite meme which shows something important about the #Fediverse

I'll go first:

Alt...

Star wars meme. Empire soldier land to interrogate the retired general. "Mastodon? Really? Man of your talents?". He replies: "It's a peaceful life" From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-a-peaceful-life "It's a Peaceful Life, also known as Really? Man Of Your Talents?, is a reaction image and image macro meme format using a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in which the character Galen Erso (played by actor Mads Mikkelsen) tells Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), "It's a peaceful life," after Krennic expresses pitiful shock that Erso is a farmer"

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.

I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

You can also support our #Fediverse hosted services by ordering something awesome from https://stux.store/shop/ 😸♥️
