@supernovae:
But dang I’m disappointed. I got defederated for doing what I expect other admins should do. Ooof. No winners here… Just a few thousand people with consenting relationships destroyed without any due dilligence by their admin defederating us and many other instances. – Meta – Progress and Controversy
@onepict:
Some of us chose to walk away from abusive situations and abusive online networks. We want a space where we can post, laugh and find a meeting of minds. Once you have done it once, it is easier mentally to do it again. – Consent and the fediverse
@gargron:
Just like any Mastodon server, Threads will have their own moderation policies and tools, and just like any Mastodon server, they will be able to choose which content to block on their platform. However, their decisions can only affect their own platform. The only people who can set rules for and moderate your Mastodon server are the moderators of said server, and if you self-host, that continues to be just you. – What to know about Threads
@j12t:
Alex Heath is reporting that “Meta is hoping for at least tens of millions of users within the first few months of availability”. The Fediverse currently has between 1 and 2 million active monthly users. So Meta is expecting at least 10× of those numbers by the end of the year. – Why would Meta implement ActivityPub? 1½ reasons are compelling, another is not
@ploum:
You cannot buy a decentralised network! But there’s another way: make it irrelevant. That’s exactly what Google did with XMPP. – How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
@deadsuperhero:
The idea of forming this question as a binary “this or that” is ridiculous, and predicated on a nebulous idea that open source communities should just roll over and be grateful that some insanely profitable entity wants to do real estate development right outside of our digital homes. – John Gruber Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About
@oliphant has some blocklists:
Tiers will reflect blocklist size, with higher tiers having larger blocklists. This is purely mathematical, and pulls from trusted sources to generate this list based on common agreement. – Oliphant.Social Shared Blocklist Files
A client that isn’t built on a merged timeline:
You log in and it shows you all the people you follow. You pick one of them. It shows you all their toots, fully threaded. So each thread has its own column, kind of like a newspaper. And you scroll right to see older stuff. – Yoyogi
How to find people on Mastodon to start filling your timeline:
- https://fediverse.info/ lets you find people and you can add yourself, no questions asked
- https://fedi.directory/ lets you find people and you can request yourself to be added if you post about a specific topic (conditions apply)
- https://communitywiki.org/trunk/ lets you find people and you can request to be added (conditions apply)

I am 100% serious with the title, despite the appearance of click-bait. Mastodon has a serious structural rot that is only worsening as time gets on. I think this is for a few reasons which I will outline below. – Mastodon really is crumbling — and it will only get worse
Misskey is another bit of Fediverse software, similar to Mastodon and Pleroma, but with far more features, and a far nicer and more polished-feeling UI. It is currently developed by one person, syuilo and is supported by a small amount of corporate funding, combined with some Patreon contributions. – Mastodon Is Dead, Long Live Misskey 🍮
Fediverse is shorthand for *federated universe*. But what does federated really mean in this context? It’s important to remember that the vast majority of applications in my picture can be installed thousands of times over and each of these instances, or servers, be of many different sizes. Each of these have their own rules and ownership, and make up their own corner of the Fediverse. – The many branches of the Fediverse
Fedi.Tips is an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. – Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon & the Fediverse
