Good morning and happy Friday #Fediverse! We’ve made it to the end of the week! Let’s pat ourselves on the back.
For our #KoffeeWithKyle chat today, let’s discuss what we have planned for today and the weekend ahead.
For me, I have our yearly regional convention this weekend. I’ll be pretty much out of pocket usual. Other than that, it’ll just be relax in the evenings. What about y’all.
People of #Mastodon#Fediverse 👋🏼🥺😣
Hope everybody is taking care of your Mental & Physical Health ❤️ Always Hydrate💧 I've been dealing again with my very worst Toothache for almost a day now 😢 The swell on my face is very visible and the pain is worst that I started to feel chilly & got the fever atm..
THE PAIN IS MAKING ME CRAZY, I cried while typing this 😭 HELP HELP HELP.
@iftas, the Trust and Safety organization for the #Fediverse, launched a new community portal full of guides, resources, discussion groups, and tools for community moderators and instance admins. We take a look at what it does.
Yay, @Mastodon's About page has been updated! It now includes information about the newly established 501(c)(3) non-profit US entity Mastodon, Inc and its board. Also includes information about each board member who is a Board Director.
"The #fediverse and AT Protocol also yield different problems: which instance should a newsroom choose to make its home? How can it measure #engagement in what it posts in a decentralized system so that it knows what’s working and where it should continue to invest its meager resources?
Much has been written about newsrooms’ inability to move away from X even as it has become a hotbed of white supremacy and far-right rhetoric. The honest truth is that it still drives significant #traffic to their websites, and in an environment where traffic #referrals are dropping overall, intentionally further deepening the traffic shortfall is understandably not a career risk newsroom leaders are willing to make."
I've said it before, the fediverse needs to solve the issue of a universal referrer in outgoing links in order to show up in web traffic statistics as a single entity ("Mastodon", "Fediverse" whatever). Currently all web traffic coming from the fediverse shows up as one of any of the 10k+ different domains which will naturally all be at the end of the "long tail" and always behind centralized platforms, no matter how popular it gets. Organizations need to see line go up to invest in this ecosystem.
