As well as a favourite button, #Mastodon needs a little figure worshipping button to show great reverence towards the wise sages on here, and it needs a raised fist of solidarity button for all those moments of people power and activism.

Make it so!

(You could also have a make it so button).

Seeing all these brilliant scientist colleagues, media people and climate/biodiversity activists arrive here in #fediverse makes me wonder:

What if we just all left that bird place for those virile car fetishists and hate speech lovers ... and came here for information and truly serious conversations about the way towards a better world for our children?

We are committed to growing open and democratic New Social networks.

We believe that your online presence shouldn't be controlled by a single person or organisation. We think it should belong to you.

That's why we want to help for-good organisations own their home on social media.

We're the UK’s top New Social focused charity. We’re a group of former media people, scientists and technologists trying to take back control of the social web.

We have a small but passionate team.

You can find out more about them here: https://www.newsmastfoundation.org/about-us/our-team/

#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

If you’re new to the #Fediverse and want to drive engagement, just start following people.

In the Fediverse, you define your personal timeline yourself.

To quickly get a good timeline, look at the profile of a person whose posts you like and follow the people they follow.
Most likely, you will like their posts as well.

This article gives more tips on finding your way on #Mastodon.

If one is to get into blogging these days and would like to use a blogging system with Fediverse/ActivityPub integration (including commenting via Mastodon account for example)…

Which one do people currently recommended to use?

I have found Plume, which looks nicest and has quite a few instances available. but is currently not developed very actively.

There is also WriteFreely, which is similar but lacks in public instances.

Maybe Lemmy?

The #fediverse shows that we can build a better world by ignoring clickbait, billionaires, venture capital and the growth mantra. Decentralisation leads to a better world. When you care about your neighbours, things change. I am tipsy, but I believe we are building better things, the Open (Source) Way. It'll take time. Patience and stoicism will win. There's a book hiding here, but I won''t write it. I'll continue to do. When enough people do, we win. Thanks for listening!

Users of #Mastodon and the #fediverse, ensure you do not use the Bluesky bridge. Kiwifarms is pouring in on Bluesky using Jesse Singal as a Trojan horse and the company just handed them the golden ticket. I will not use the bridge myself, will not endanger my friends here

Diese Hipster Link Kürzungen sind echt die Pest!

Solche bescheuerten "Designentscheidungen" sind ein absolut vermeidbares zusätzlich eingebautes Hindernis und Sicherheitsrisiko, das durch Unterlassen einfach eliminiert werden kann.

Eben gerade wieder 1500 Links kopieren müssen, von einer Seite die mal und mal nicht Linkkürzungen benutzt. Also sowas wie hppts://schwunk-plonk.... statt komplett hppts://schwunk-plonk.komm/Blunk-schwonk.HaarTeeÄhmEl

Eine Möglichkeit wäre gewesen alle einzeln, Rechtsklick kopieren und in neues Dokument einfügen. Na danke!
Die andere Möglichkeit wäre gewesen, alle anzuklicken und dann auch wieder per Copy'n' Paste in das neue Dokument zu überführen.
Und in beiden Fällen die entsprechenden Überschriften des Originalartikels entsprechend einzuordnen.

Meine Lösung war dann zwar schneller und wesentlich eleganter, aber das ist keinem DurchschnittsbenutzerIn zu zumuten:

1. HTML Quelltext auf
2. Entsprechenden Teil in ein neues Textdokument zu kopieren
3. Regex ein paar Mal anwenden und damit eine wunderbare Liste mit Aufzählungspunkten zu bekommen.

Bitte baut so einen Bockmist nicht in eure Plattformen, Blogs, Wikis oder andere Publikationsnetzwerke ein! Dann muss auch niemand unnötig Lebenszeit darauf verschwenden diesen Unsinn wieder rückgängig zu machen. Danke!

Hi #Fediverse, I've got myself into a bit of a bind 😊

I have been working with a local primary school to try to get them to adopt the fediverse either through Pixelfed or Bookwyrm.

However it's become clear that this exposes the users to too much risk if I use an existing instance.

So....if you were to be setting up a fediverse instance for a class in a primary school, what would you choose (Pixelfed, Bookwyrm, Mastodon etc) and has anybody done this before?

Many thanks for guidance!
