Two things are becoming glaringly obvious currently.

One, it seems like aspiring Facebook escapees want and expect Facebook as it was in December, 2024, in the Fediverse. Maybe also because that's what they're told Friendica is. Just like Twitter escapees have been wanting and expecting Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) to be literally Twitter without Musk, but otherwise absolutely identical to Twitter. Because that's what they were told.

People don't want something that's better than the original. Because that's different from the original. People want 1:1 clones of the original.

Two, lots of Mastodon users, even many of those who have been around since the second Twitter migration wave of late 2022 (as in over two years)k, haven't understood the Fediverse yet. They think their Mastodon account can only connect to Mastodon accounts, and a Friendica account can only connect to Friendica accounts, and so they need a Friendica account in parallel to their Mastodon account in order to be able to stay in contact with both new Friendica users and current Mastodon users.

Little do they probably know that they already follow users of Friendica, Hubzilla, Misskey, Sharkey, Iceshrimp, Akkoma, Mbin etc. on their Mastodon accounts because Mastodon doesn't tell them. Even less do they know that Friendica is the federation world champion. Not only does it connect to everything in the ActivityPub-using Fediverse, including Mastodon, but it also has more non-ActivityPub connection options than anything else.

Not so obvious yet: If a significant number of Facebook users does end up on Friendica, we'll have a wonderful clash of cultures in the Fediverse.

• Faction #1: almost three years worth of Twitter refugees on Mastodon who still want to force Mastodon's culture upon the whole Fediverse. Including Friendica.
  
• Faction #2: fresh arrivals on Mastodon from Twitter who want to keep living their Twitter culture, and who don't even expect Mastodon to have its own culture.
  
• Faction #3: fresh arrivals on Friendica from Facebook who want to keep living their Facebook culture, and who also end up angering faction #1 with "long posts" (anything with over 500 characters).
  
• Faction #4: the old Fediverse guard, especially on Friendica where some users have been since years before Mastodon has even been created, who are being lectured by faction #1 and accused of harassment by factions #2 and #3.

Beware if faction #3 discovers Lemmy communities and starts joining them. For Lemmy's culture is almost identical to Reddit's culture, whether #1 wants or not.

#neuhier Hallo alle zusammen! Der Hashtag verrät es schon, ich bin neu hier. Darum den einen oder anderen Satz über mich und mein Treiben im #Fediverse.

Ursprünglich aus #Berlin, lebe ich nun in #Leipzig. Meine Angehörigen wollten es unbedingt so und nun bin ich erneut auf der Suche nach Fotostandorten um meinem Hobby #Trainspotting nachzugehen. Nebenbei auch #Architekturfotografie, allerdings nicht so oft und bis diese Bilder mal bearbeitet sind dauert es ewig.

Wie bin ich zu #Friendica gekommen? Tatsächlich in der Nacht zum 13.01.2025 und nur durch puren Zufall. Auf Mastodon immer irgendwo mal gelesen, aber nie ernsthaft mit beschäftigt. Das wird sich nun ändern. Vor 3 Jahren mit der ersten Fluchtwelle vom blauen Vogel 🐦 im Fediverse gelandet und gleich wohlgefühlt. Ich hoffe das es hier auch bei einem ruhigen Diskussionsstil bleibt wenn es mal politisch wird.

Dann auf frohes Kommentieren und Spaß haben, viele Grüße Franky

Hallo und willkommen im #fediverse
Mit Empfehlungen ist es immer schwierig. 😉Ich würde dir gern meine ganze Timeline empfehlen, das wäre aber sicher der Oberhammer.

Du kannst dich aber gern im #FediDir bedienen - https://mastodir.de/

"We're at the beginning of a significant shift in the history of the internet in more ways than one, and we're feeling both optimistic and excited for the future. After two decades of restrictive networks and centralized platforms, there are a lot of very motivated people focused on one thing:

Bringing back the open web."

Holding Meta's Feet to the Fire

Brazil Gives Meta 72 Hours To Explain New Fact-check Policies

Brazil on Friday gave social media giant Meta 72 hours to explain what its fact-checking policy will be for the country, and how it plans to protect fundamental rights on its platform.

Mark 'Defender of Nothing' Zuckerberg

I still maintain #SocialMedia on the whole keeps people better informed that traditional news coverage.

Although corporate social media companies control their sites in whatever way they see fit, the People and Social element of social media users has always cut through.

This is why companies need to #shadowban popular left wing accounts all the time. It's why they need to change their rules to encourage the wrong type of content.

People power is bad for corporate social media.

@Henning Uhle Eigentlich solltest du Friendica-Konten von jeder Mastodon-Instanz aus folgen können. Dafür wirst du nicht groß umziehen müssen, schon gar nicht nach Friendica.

Auch wenn Mastodon ein Twitter-Klon ist und Friendica eine Facebook-Alternative, kannst du trotzdem mit deinem Mastodon-Konto einfach einem Friendica-Konto folgen. Oder jedem anderen Konto auf jeder anderen Art von Server.

Falls dir das zu theoretisch ist, können wir das gerne mal in der Praxis durchspielen, damit du das direkt vor deinen Augen siehst, wie das passiert.

Ich will dafür jetzt nicht irgendjemanden auf Friendica mit reinziehen, also nehmen wir statt dessen meinen Hubzilla-Kanal. Ist dicht genug dran, denn Hubzilla fing mal an als Friendica-Fork von Friendicas eigenem Entwickler.

Jetzt sorgen wir mal zusammen dafür, wie du auf Mastodon mir auf Hubzilla folgst.

Kopier mal in deine Suche auf Mastodon folgendes rein:
@jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

Dann schieb mal die Suche an. Die sollte ein Ergebnis anzeigen, dem du folgen kannst. Auch wenn du es auf Mastodon siehst, ist es nicht auf Mastodon, sondern es ist mein Kanal auf Hubzilla.

Und dann folge dem mal.

Falls dich das noch nicht überzeugt, können wir das auch mit (streams) durchspielen. Das ist wieder vom selben Entwickler und noch ein paar Forks später, aber immer noch ziemlich nah an Friendica dran.

Weil ich weiß, daß du Memes magst, such dieses Mal nach dem hier:
@fedimemes_on_streams@streams.elsmussols.net
Dahinter verbirgt sich übrigens mein Fedimemes-Kanal.

Und versuch wieder, dem zu folgen.

Übrigens: Mit @pepecyb (Friendica) folgst du schon jemandem auf Friendica, und mit @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ ⚝ folgst du demselben auf Hubzilla. Vielleicht hast du es einfach noch nicht gemerkt, weil das alles für dich auch nicht anders aussah als Mastodon. Aber guck dir mal beide jeweils an der Quelle an und sag mir: Sieht das wie Mastodon aus?

Ich habe mal meine ersten Erkenntnisse aufgeschrieben, was man außer Mastodon noch im #Fediverse alles hat. Es dauert, aber ich komme das schon dahinter.

Fediverse! Wie das klingt! Dann geh doch zur Twitter-Konkurrenz, lass uns nur bei Facebook im Stich! Wirst schon sehen, was du davon hast! Hat das irgendwer gesagt? Weiß ich nicht, vielleicht hat sich das der eine oder die andere oder so gedacht. Es ist mir aber auch gleich. Denn ich muss hier Konsequenzen ziehen. Wieso habe ich wohl irgendwann von einem parallelen Internet philosophiert? Ach, was hatte ich einfältiges Huhn ja so gar keine Ahnung! Das war damals einfach so eine spinnerte Geschichte, weil ich ja sonst nichts zu tun habe, oder so. Jetzt sieht das auf einmal anders aus.

Mark Zuckerberg bald-face lies about content moderation to Joe Rogan’s face and the nation's ear

The head of Meta cracked under Republican pressure

I can't afford one or I would
and if I did I'd be a bit more democratic about banning someone or even restrict their expression.

As the climate has formed #fediverse just appears as a rich neighborhood of homeowners, federated, but really nasty to people passing through.

Dear god people, look at what Meta is now saying:

"We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation"

...look at it. This is 1930s stuff 😞

If you haven't defederated Meta/Threads yet, now is absolutely the perfect time to do so.

Ich hab mir jetzt nen #Pixelfed-Account angelegt und auch nen #Friendica-Account. Und jetzt? Ich hab mal was gehört, dass ich beides mit #Mastodon und mit meinem #Blog verpopeln kann. Stimmt das? Und wie mache ich das?

Jaja, ich bin einfältig. Aber wer weiß, vielleicht mache ich doch mehr im #Fediverse? Niemand kann in die Zukunft gucken.

As every week, the ”added to reading list” vs ”actually read” is somewhere around 15:1 or worse (better?).

But thanks for all interesting links shared here or in your blogs!

As Musk waves his big platform-influence to support the right's advance around the world, and tech bosses like Zuckerberg bend the knee, crafting content rules to suit Trump's interests, can we imagine an alternative? #fediverse #media #socialmedia

People on #mastodon are quite "thin skinned" so the truth or opinion counter to (insert narrative) is a blockable offence.

Very cowardly IMHO
#fediverse

Did you know that the Fediverse is on New Social?

We know people over here are very proud of the decentralised nature of the Fediverse, so we bet you did!

But, we want to push New Social as a new way of thinking about social media. We're working across multiple platforms to help others realise the power of the open technology they're standing on.

A New Social future benefits everyone and we'll do our best to help others get onboard.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialMedia #SocialWeb #NewSocial

"More and more people are now questioning why social media even worked on the least social of structures. They want change. Hopefully, with open social media - New Social - we can offer them something different. An internet of social alcoves, where you can choose how to moderate your content."

Check out the thoughts of @saskia on Meta, moderation and Zuckerberg in her latest blog post.

So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.

What a complete and utter betrayal.

If you just joined the Fediverse
in search of a more inclusive community, welcome

While the Fediverse also has its challenges, it is a community constantly trying to improve for its people, and away from the danger of the monetization of hate.

If you feel lost and are in need of advice:

1. I wrote these tiny tips to help you feel at home in no time: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323504324459171

2. Feel free to ask questions around! People will be happy to help. Hashtags are important here. If you have a question related to Mastodon for example, use #Mastodon

3. Be patient. Be you. Explore. Follow many to build a full feed (it is more important here because there is no algorithm).

Make yourself at home 🏡💚

#Fediverse #Meta #Facebook #DeleteFacebook

One of the human freedoms is the ability to choose with whom to speak and engage. The Fediverse allows you to have your own space, or a shared space with like-minded people. It lets you choose who you want to interact with and who to avoid.
True free communication can only be in your own hands and federated.

Question: Now that #Meta is leaning even more into #fascism than they used to, are there any good #Fediverse equivalents of #Facebook groups?

I know of #lemmy (which strives to emulate the Reddit experience), but what others are out there?

Compare Hubzilla with Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky

Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky may be popular options, but how do they compare to Hubzilla?

This table compares #decentralized #social #media platforms. Some of the terminology is different between platforms, but the core #concepts are the same. We have included the terminology each platform uses (where there is enough space to do so).

For example, on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, you create an "account" which serves as your #online #identity and social media presence, but on #Hubzilla it's called a "channel," and on #Threads it's called a "profile." In other words, a "channel" is the equivalent of a Mastodon account or Bluesky account or Threads #profile. We will use the term "channel" throughout to make the table simpler.

2024 wasn't the best year for social media... but it's 2025 now 🎉

That means it's time to move to greener pastures. Social media that's open, democratic, and controlled by the users.

This year, we're looking forward to raising awareness for New Social and introducing more people and organisations than ever to open social.

We hope to help them move to truly open platforms, like this one.

Hey, anyone know if mastodon.social still federates with Meta’s Threads?

(Assuming they have some common decency and don’t but just wanted to make sure.)

After Meta's rather disturbing actions today, would you like to move to a Fediverse server that defederates Meta and Threads?

Fedi.Garden is a directory of well-run servers that have all blocked Threads:

➡️ https://fedi.garden

All of them are compatible with the requirements listed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site

#Fediverse #Threads #Meta #Zuckerberg

Dear #Fediverse, #Meta updated it's terms of use policy and they are the most horrid stuff you can imagine. And we are talking about Meta. In fact this is so horrible that I will put it under a content warning. Please be advised: these are official Meta's words and they are linked here. Get as many people out of Meta as you can, as soon as possible 👇
