Vielleicht habt ihr ja die neulich hier gestarteten Initiativen #SaveSocial und #SoSollWeb mitbekommen. Da entsteht nun wohl gerade eine Diskussion ums #Fediverse. Denn der neueste Beitrag ist ein Rant, der uns Eskapismus vorwirft (etwas runterscrollen, der Header ist recht groß):

FOSDEM 2025 -Friendica - under the radar since 2010


Tobias Diekershoff, FSFE’s System Hacker and core developer of the Friendica project, along with Michael Vogel, also a core member of the Friendica development team, provide an concise introduction to Friendica in this talk.

Friendica has been part of the Fediverse since 2010, building bridges between Laconica and Diaspora*, making it one of the oldest active projects of the Fediverse - yet Friendica has flown under the radar most of the time.

In this talk we will give a short introduction to Friendica, its unique features and how it differs from other systems.

The Friendica project homepage can be found at friendi.ca, the source code for the core is maintained on github and for the addons on git.friendi.ca.

If you are staying on a corporate
social media platform because the people you follow are still there, consider others are also staying there because you are still there.

Someone needs to start the move.
Be that person.

Leave X for good.
Leave Facebook forever.
Remember blue skies eventually turn grey.

Embrace the social media that cannot get sold to a billionaire. Embrace the Fediverse 💚

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.

Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

Da bin ich mal gespannt wie dies sich auswirkt. Ansonsten Lässt sich immer noch das #Fediverse Tool / Anbieter / Service wechseln.

»Mastodon führt #Zitat-Funktion ein – Ein ausgewogener Ansatz für mehr Interaktion:
Die #SocialMedia-Plattform #Mastodon steht vor einer Neuerung: Nach jahrelangen Überlegungen wird die Möglichkeit eingeführt, Beiträge anderer #Nutzer mit eigenem #Kommentar zu teilen - eine Funktion, die als „Quote Posts“ bekannt ist.«

There's no better day to start my #fediverse adventure than on #ilovefs day!

Happy I ❤️ Free Software Day! A day to say a big thank you to all the amazing projects that make our life easier and all those maintainers behind them!

My 2025 thank you goes to @GIMP and of course kudos to my colleagues from the @fsfe. I couldn't be prouder of their work towards #SoftwareFreedom and it is an honor to be part of the :fsfe: team!


Der SocialMedia-Watchblog hat ein Manivest von Martin Fehrensen mit 15 Ideen veröffentlicht, wie wir den Kreislauf der Empörung durchbrechen können damit wir rechtem Gedankengut nicht auch noch selbst mehr Reichweite geben.

Do any of the #fediverse platforms have the capability of assigning roles?

For instance, I run a soccer team but suck at promoting. However I have people that are better at that task. I’d like to give them roles so they could post as the team, w/o giving them MY login info. They would need their own account & be managers of the team account, I guess.

#facebook has this capability but #Insta doesn’t. I’d rather not use either anyway.

I’d love it if #Pixelfed or another #fedi platform did!


Wir sind auf der Suche nach einer #peertube Instanz, für unsere NPA-Mitschnitte.

Hab Ihr eine Idee, wo man dauerhaft mehrere Videos pro Monat veröffentlichen kann?

Gerne mit inhaltlichem Bezug zu (Netz-)Politik und Aktivismus.

Und langfristig würden wir natürlich auch gerne den Livestream über das #Fediverse laufen lassen.

It was an honour and pleasure to close out the #SocialWebFOSDEM programming last night with #FediverseForFreedom, based on my blog post of the same title last year. Let’s build together this year, and return to share our progress at #FOSDEM in 2026 🙌🏻#fediverse

In #Threads ist das Posten ins #Fediverse nun anscheinend aktivierbar. Hat das schon jemand ausprobiert?

In diesem Video ist recht gut beschrieben, was man aktivieren muss und was derzeit die Einschränkungen sind:


this was such an awesome event!!! it was such a pleasure to meet you all!!!

(way too much people to @-reply everyone, but I hope you all feel addressed)

#Fediverse needs a lot of lobbying in public institutions (incl. Universities)

[strong]Formatierte Texte mit Mastodon erstellen[/strong]


Einer der Sachen die manche bei Mastodon vermissen, ist die Möglichkeit Texte zu formatieren, da Mastodon das von sich aus nicht mitbringt. Allerdings gibt es ein kleines Onlinetool das dabei helfen kann:

https://nuelink.com/tools/mastodon-text-formatter

Ein Beispiel was unter anderen möglich ist findet Ihr hier:

Schaut es Euch mal an, evtl. ist es was für Euch. 😀

Servus an alle #neuhier, die #Friendica für das #Fediverse nutzen. Auf der #Fosdem2025 hat es einen wirklich tollen Vortrag über Friendica gegeben. Wer also etwas mehr wissen möchte, was dieses tolle Projekt betrifft, findet hier die Folien dazu:

Vielen Dank an @Tobias und @Michael Vogel für diesen interessanten Vortrag. 👍

P.S.: Natürlich ist dieser Vortrag auch für die #althier interessant. 😉


Liebe @GrueneBundestag - so lange ihr in dieser Liste kein Mastodon oder Fediverse stehen habt, wird das mit Unterstützung durch mich nix. Da könnt ihr noch so viele Umfragen raus hauen. Verschwindet endlich von den populistischen, faschistischen, falsch informierenden und nicht verifizierenden Netzwerken, die noch dazu ein Datenschutz Albtraum sind. 🤷 Dann kann ich Inhalte auch teilen.

For some, joining Mastodon might seem risky because "the server could shut down at any time" or because it's managed by a single administrator. While these concerns are understandable, Mastodon has far more safeguards in place compared to centralized platforms:

1. Admins are typically experienced sysadmins with a strong passion for server management.

2. It's generally recommended to have multiple admins (we have four).

3. Many servers have financial plans in place, such as donation systems. We have my company backing things up.

4. Infrastructure is often cost-effective, keeping operating costs low.

A few additional points to consider:

1. No server - or anything in life - is immortal. That's exactly why I chose the name mementomori.social (the stoic phrase "memento mori" means "remember death").

2. Web services come and go, but longevity is possible. My first website has been online continuously for 27 years (since 1998). While I've migrated servers a few times, the site itself has never gone offline. It will most likely happen after I pass away, but I hope my descendants keep it online.

Unlike centralized platforms - especially newer ones - that rely on user growth and profitability, investors can pull the plug at any time.

The decentralized Fediverse operates differently: sysadmins are committed to keeping their servers online and do so out of dedication, not for monetary gain.

I don't think we need billions of people here. I already have all the content I need, and no one can keep up with everything anyway. The idea that social media requires a 'critical mass' is just another false narrative pushed by commercial social media corporations and their users.

I'm happy for everyone who joins the Fediverse, but for me, the value of the Social Web lies in other things - not in sheer numbers.

On my way from Vienna to Brussels to visit #Offdem and #Fosdem

It's my first time there!

I'm looking forward to meet people who are interested in:
#policy topics regarding the #Fediverse
#Commons
#Wikipedia

Please let me know if you are - so we can meet and talk.

Fediverse, I need your help!

A friend of mine is looking at ditching their Facebook page. I want to suggest them 3 Fediverse instances they would enjoy but I have no idea how to go about it myself since I never had to go through this process myself. They like TTRPG, Transformers, social justice and live in Philadelphia and I'm taking suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

#Help #Fediverse #LazyWeb

Edit: So far https://dice.camp is a strong contender, still looking for 2 additional suggestions.


One of the keys to success on commercial social media is hate. People have grown accustomed to the "commitment strategy," and, without realizing it, generate or respond to hate because this creates commitment—and profit—for those who exploit it.

This is why, for years now, I've been striving to make sure the fediverse is a different place—not a battlefield, but a group of people here to share and feel good. And this is why, more than ever today, I invite everyone to commit themselves so that this becomes a positive, welcoming, and safe space.
