Some notes as a tiny blogpost on #BerlinFediDay: https://blog.johl.io/berlin-fediverse-day-2025/

fediverse: Fediverse network (2018)
An early snapshot of the federation network among web publishers using the ActivityPub protocol. Nodes are instances, and a directed edge exists if an instance follows another instance.
This network has 4860 nodes and 484164 edges.

Nieuwe #blogpost:
Mastodon en de Fediverse in Nederland. Waarin ik mijn kijk geef op het Hoe maar vooral het Waarom van #Mastodon en de #Fediverse.

@… I have probably denied Google Search on hundreds of different browsers and devices at this point

Happy to report I eventually found the arm64 port of #mobilizon AND found my own upgrade guide in their forum and @… is effortlessly upgraded to 5.1.5 now with our actual logo and a sensible default image. 😊
Yes, those are tiny noticeables, but it tells us the no-challenger¹ most promising #fediverse Event Org platform² is still alive, and that's good news ☺️
¹ some time ago someone here wanted to chat about an artist management Fediverse service but I got swept away (again)
² WP is also very good but lacking in the 'backstage' support.

Hi @…,
enjoyed your talk at #fediday25 https://berlinfedi.day very much.

My most tapped Mastodon superpower? The glorious 'Delete & re-draft.' Basically my CTRL Z for social existence.
#Mastodon #Fediverse

My non-exhaustive test of @… triggered through @ap.brid.gy bridge between Bluesky and Fediverse has these results:

Both @… and @… are being displaced yet again and forced to move South as Israel continues its genocide and wholesale destruction of Gaza with the complicity of our inhumane governments in the West.

Gaza Verified
I’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and I verify that their accounts are genuine. – Aral Balkan

thrown together a quick little discord server for #FediMobi, so if you're into the #fediverse and old mobile devices come on in! also bridged to matrix at #fedimobi:chat.bluepixelcomputing.com…

Some people are suggesting there's more than just Mastodon on the Fediverse, and this is true...
There's also Mastodon glitch :3

the other day I dreamt I saw this very 90s ad for the Fediverse. it was this “you wouldn’t steal a car” type screen with a very 90s font on it but it said “have you seen the fediverse?” and this gruff 90s voice read it out. then there were all these like abrupt cuts and closeups of various fedi stuff and then it ended with another one of those screens with the text on it that said “get federated.” and the voice read out the text again. anyways if anyone more talented wants to do that, feel f…

Why we still don’t understand what happens to women’s bodies during labour
We know more about the mechanics of space than of childbirth. With no studies or evidence, care is based on assumptions, and women are paying the price.

@… they ask at the worst time!

There's also a social in London, coming up Aug 16th. Come join us! https://lu.ma/lxfxu463

What’s that ethical alternative to Patron that people keep mentioning in the Fediverse that I now have completely forgotten the name of? 😅

I'll be honest, I hear about "waves" of people coming to mastodon/Fediverse and I cringe a little.
Choose your metaphors carefully, people.
Waves go back to the ocean after wrecking your sandcastle, people
*I'm* enjoying this particular beach but I'm aware that I'm here through a sort of survivorship selection — the people who stay here with me are compatible with me because we're all the same sort of flotsam

I just noticed that I need to scroll several continents to the left or right on the #fediverseobserver #map to find some nodes. Imagine needing to fly around the earth several times to land in their #timezones

It's not hyperbole to say that what we in the Fediverse are doing to build decentralized social media is important for the future of liberal democracy.

Fediscovery explores the possibilities for better search and discovery on the Fediverse -- in the form of an optional, pluggable service.
This service should be decentralized, independent of any one specific Fediverse service and respect user choice and privacy.

We were very grateful to be able to present the Fediscovery project atFOSDEM 2025. The talk was recorded and you can download both the slides and the recorded video

@… certain bubbles split.
And I prefer the Fediverse because it's ethically the right thing.
Even if I'd be writing into the void. 😅

This month's digest/newsletter is on the way to the age-verified kosher normal people who signed up for it in their email.

So many dickish posts from people “welcoming” Bluesky users while making “how could you not see this coming” jokes etc.
Really the very reason why one wouldn’t want to be on mastodon on full display.
It’s also just fake and mainly self indulgence because non of the fediverse graphs actually shows even any significant uptick in active users.

Der Berliner Fediverse Tag ist so eine coole Veranstaltung wtf
Ich bin nächstes Jahr sehr gerne wieder da, ob Ich einen Vortrag halte oder nicht

@… NECESSARY COOKIES ONLY

looking to #selfhost a #mastodon instance, anyone know any good options? #fediverse

that A-list web sites aggressively pop a geolocation permission prompt for absolutely no good reason has done a huge disservice to how folks perceive privacy on the web

@… @… I’ve heard of those, are they good

#WrestlerASongOrPoem

I love how 'social.linux.pizza' morphed into 'mastodon.social' in seconds, like the ultimate server hop in the fediverse!
Scam: growthcx@mastodon.social

@… a ha, yes! I love it!

@… I wouldn’t recommend it 😅

Added loose support for Nuxt and Next to https://github.com/11ty/api-generator (though they *don’t* use <meta name=generator> 😭)

#ReasonTVCharactersWereSainted

@… wish I could have learned this lesson earlier 😭

@… yeah! I think Letterboxd has replaced a lot of this for me, but you can see I went just about as far with my Letterboxd list as I did with that blog https://letterboxd.com…

@… google maps used to alert me when it knew I was going into a store. I got off of the Android ecosystem after that

Added a historical record of almost all of the domain names I’ve purchased, just for funsies

in this case the results are inconclusive

Since the fire goes viral and folks never hear about the fire department, y’all might be interested to know that the original content for the US Constitution has been restored.

@… now reading the part about no questions and I am sorry

@… wait do people make eye contact with other people on video calls

@… do you have a webinar on self restraint I can buy or

I thought I was 6–20 until I counted: it was 34 😅

How many unique domains do y’all estimate you’ve purchased (all time, for yourself)?

took a long time, but I’ve finally retired the last of my “active” .io domains — a process I’ve wanted to finalize for *years.*
(11ty.io is still redirecting but very few folks use it any more, leaving room to hopefully disable it entirely https://www.11ty.dev/blog/moving-house/)

@… @… @… as someone that works in open source, is one year even that old for a reply

@… @… is this your web site? very cool!

@… my “not a baby” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt 😅

@… you aspire to be less healthy??

@… how can I repackage them and sell to Atlassian

@… I suspect the culprit is ublock origin 😅 (but also 🫠)

@… we are not loving the accessibility of “mic” to reflect mute/unmute

@… almost 20 active is almost certainly 21 all-time (and yes, that assumption is correct!)

@… I WOULD NEVER

@… they were so worried about the thought police that they didn’t even stop to police their own thoughts

@… I think it can hallucinate whatever I hallucinate that it hallucinates

I anthropomorphized my pet rock to such a degree that we are now both hallucinating its sentience

@… @… *awesome*

peak user experience implies the existence of (silicon) valley user experience

@… look, we all need to touch a little grass

just checking in on the folks that said (years ago) that we needed to sacrifice user experience for developer productivity to see how their AI startups are doing now

@… the results were SHOCKING!

@… @… looks like it found an error in your robots.txt though I don’t see that content in your robots.txt 👀 hmmmmm I wonder if that is a user-agent issue with CloudFlare blocking the lighthouse bot?

adding more WebC ESM support https://github.com/11ty/webc/pull/229

@… huh… that’s an interesting choice (appreciate the info!)

@… what’s the behavior like with the reduced transparency user setting?
