The open source single-user server software will be ready for #alpha #testing soon! It supports #HereUSSDK, #TheProtocols4.0, and #ActivityPub out of the box. We are looking for #earlyadopters. If interested, please contact us via comments or email: contact@team.hereus.net

so #bluesky is struggling with spam? we could've told you that dealing with that junk at scale won't work. that we have a much higher proportion of admins per user for a reason. but you chose to build your own. you're still not decentralized. but you obviously always cared more about making it profitable than sustainable.
we are not the same. #ATproto #ActivityPub

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/
looking at your replies to replies here that seem to make sense to me (especially re decentralization), you're telling them they don't know what they are talking about. well I definitely don't.
like with debates re #ATproto and #ActivityPub, I have thoughts but I know that we really need to see the experts debate each other somehow. I don't think it happens enough. so I'd say the same re #signal and #matrix etc.

The Philosophical Debates (Kay-Kingsbury Edition)
Andrew Kay (novaTopFlex) is currently in multiple ongoing philosophical arguments involving Alexander Kingsbury, Mojo, and MrLee on Mastodon, all under a common core of shared beliefs for—or against—capitalism. While novaTopFlex fears infinite growth and the criminalization of genuine friendship and authenticity as well as forced conformity to traditional roles in society, Kingsbury claims that capitalism contains no demands for infinite growth nor for related concerns. In addition, Mojo […]

Summer/Autumn 2025: Little coding, but lots of socializing and planning
At the first October weekend I ( @linos) was attending the Berlin FediDay 2025. It was a meetup of the Berlin and German community, developers of Fediverse applications, and representatives of German speaking media institutions. It was great to see old friends again and meet some online contacts for the first time. We were discussing the future and the role of the Fediverse, which was super motivating. #FediDay
Two weeks later, I travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, to attend this year’s OpenFest, give a talk and lead a workshop on how the Fediverse can help announce and discover events. Unfortunately, the talk didn’t attract much attention, as LLMs are currently drawing more of an audience. But the discussions with those in attendance were very interesting. The workshop was mainly about trying out #Gancio, #WordPress and #Mastodon and learning about the possibilities for local communities by trying out the applications themselves. I simply provided real test instances, created a list of tasks, including minor pitfalls, and, of course, answered all the questions that came up – and there were quite a few! And a big thank you to the crew and the organizing team, who were so friendly and simply wonderful throughout. #OpenFest
Yesterday, I had an awesome online meeting with the incredibly cool folks behind LAUTI, a free and open-source software for hosting small event calendars. #LAUTI is aimed at small and medium-sized communities and has a big focus on social, cultural and activist stuff. The instance for the Stuttgart area, run by the collective that develops it (@klasse_methode@chaos.social), can be found at https://einftopf.info. The developers are in the process of exploring the potential of #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. I’m very excited and think this could be really great! In case you’ve been wondering: I see LAUTI kind of in between #Mobilizon and #Gancio. In my opinion, it would not be a competitor to them, but it could be a great addition to the Fediverse by filling this gap.
I will be at the #SFSCON in Bolzano, Italy, in two weeks. There will be a whole afternoon focusing on the Fediverse! So in case you’re there you’re invited to join my short talk about Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse: status quo and vision. Or you’re welcome any time to say hello and let’s have a chat.
After that, it’s time to sit down and get back to programming. But it’s very important to me to continually evaluate and understand what the priorities are, and to remind myself why it’s so important that we all continue our work in this area.

People sitting around a table. Some have notebooks to work on the workshops tasks. André is standing with a bright yellow pullover and explaining stuff. There is a big screen that shows some information about the workshop.

Just enable #ActivityPub on your closed platforms, you cowards. Nothing prevents this. People won't leave if you're actually better. #SocialWeb

You read it. You listened to it. You watched it. You thought it was great. You should boost it and not need to think about what service to use to do that. You also shouldn't have to think of a clever post to link to it with. Every bit of digital work should have #ActivityPub built in.

“We welcome The White House and other government agencies to Bluesky,” a Bluesky spokesperson told WIRED. "We reached out to them right as they joined and verified their accounts."
Don't give them an account and pay those costs. Let them run their own servers and every other server decide how to interact with them. It's called decentralization. What Jay said they were already doing on CNN during the rollout but now still says is almost done. #ActivityPub was available.

Nur ganz kurz, das ActivityPub Plugin ist wieder aktiv. Eigentlich hatte ich es nur nochmal installiert weil ich was nachschauen wollte. Dann habe ich mir gedacht, ich lasse jetzt mal drin.
Vielleicht kann ich es tatsächlich demnächst mal brauchen, mal sehen.
Man kann dem Blog also wieder im Fediverse folgen unter: @blog
