This is what the Fediverse Report ( @fediversereport ) looks like from nostr.

Connected via a fediverse-to-nostr bridge.

Once you go bridged you can’t go back?

“Bridges not protocols” is the new “protocols not platforms”?

Is the world a better place and the people in it better of by having more people on decentralized social networks (rather than centralized ones)?

(Regardless of whether that decentralized social network is the Fediverse, bluesky, nostr, farcaster, lens, etc.)

We on the Fediverse have more in common with those on other decentralized social networks than the centralized ones.

I am talking at bluesky, nostr, farcaster, lens, and others.

I don't think we are enemies.
I think we are fellow-travelers.

We are all reacting to the same problems (with the Internet, the Web, and social-media) in a similar way — we are just choosing different technologies.

In a lot of ways, they are our friends.

When someone says the word "AI", what do you imagine?

Is the Fediverse for everyone?

@reiver Nazis can go fuck right off.

More than 83% of people feel the Fediverse is for everyone.

And less than 17% don't feel that the Fediverse is for everyone.

(Assuming this poll is representative.)

Ha 🙂

Someone (elsewhere) was trying to get my attention.

(They made this image.)

It feels like the long-tail is gone from Google Search.

"Gems" that I used to be able to discover from Google Search results, by looking at page after page after page of results — are gone (from the Google Search results)!

Including stuff I know used to be there — gone!

❦

I even checked some "gems" that I discovered many, many years ago (from Google Search).

The URL for those "gems" still work.

But they seem completely gone from Google Search.

@reiver You missed out 'Rebased + Soapbox'. Mangane is a fork of Soapbox.

Misskey is coming.

It is on our to-do list.

I have been on the Fediverse long enough to remember when the hash-tag was about the (rather than or the ).

Let's talk about

Akomma is Fediverse software — like Mastodon, Misskey, Lemmy, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and many others.

is a fork

But —

What is an "akkoma"‽
Where did that name come from‽

Why is the tag-line for Akkoma:
"magically expressive social media"‽

And what is the meaning behind the Akkoma logo‽

The TL;DR version of —

• what is an "akkomo"‽,
• where did the "akkoma" name come from‽,
• why is the tag-line for ‽, “magically expressive social media”‽,
• what is the meaning behind the Akkoma logo‽,

… is this (in the attached image).

🙂

If that isn't enough of an explanation, keep on reading.

BONUS №2 —

There are some Internet-memes based on Atsuko Kagari (a.k.a Akko) — i.e., the inspiration for the name, logo, and tag-line of the Fediverse software.

I don't do April Fool's posts.

Although I think some April Fool's jokes can be funny in certain contexts — I don't think social-media is one of those contexts.

I was curious how a Threads account shows up on the Fediverse.

I have seen Threads users on the Fediverse — but I noticed that when I tried looking up many people, they didn't show up.

Later, I saw mention of Threads users having to enable Fediverse.

This is how a Threads user turns on "Fediverse sharing" on their Threads account.

Step №1:

Go to your Threads profile.

Then tap the icon in the top-right with the 2 horizontal lines — that will take you to the Threads app 'Settings'.

Step №2:

On the Threads app 'Settings' screen, tap 'Account' — that will take you to the 'Account' screen.

I like wiki markup better than markdown.

...

For example , this how you underline something using wiki markup:

hello world

However, in markdown, this is italics:

hello world

It doesn't take much effort to make your website join the Fediverse and the open social-web IN A VERY BASIC WAY,.

And by "VERY BASIC WAY" I mean — being able to look up your website using a Fediverse ID and have a profile show up.

I did it for my (new) personal website last night.

(Screenshot of the profile Mastodon shows for my (new) personal website attached.)

NOTE: DO NOT FOLLOW IT YET. FOLLOWING DOESN'T WON'T WORK YET.

...

All I had to do was —

FOLLOW-UP №2:

A least one server is trying to do 'nodeinfo' lookups on my (new) personal website.

I haven't implemented nodeinfo yet either.

(nodeinfo is one of the other protocols used on the Fediverse. Most people are aware of ActivityPub. But there is more than just ActivityPub.)

...

The nodeinfo lookup probably has nothing directly to do with what I described in this thread. But because someone put the Fediverse ID to my (new) personal website in a post.

FOLLOW-UP №3:

These logs are interesting.

I wonder if they are Friendica specific URLs?

Or if other (non-Friendica + forks) servers also implement them?

I just did a video call with a bunch of people.

There was a ChatGPT based agent in the call.

(It "listened" to the audio, but responded in text.)

It was answering some people's questions.

It was very limited — but interesting.

I know I am not the only one to notice the similarity, but — it feels a bit like (a very primitive version of) the computers on Star Trek.
