Das Aktionsbündnis neue Soziale Medien hat heute an die #Hochschulen in Deutschland appelliert, ihre Accounts bei #X (vormals #Twitter) baldmöglichst still zu legen.
In dem Appell wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Präsenz bei X/Twitter aufgrund der dort betriebenen #Desinformation und politischen Hetze nicht dem Aufklärungsanspruch der Hochschulen gerecht wird. Gleichzeitig sollten Präsenzen auf #Mastodon und anderen Servern im #Fediverse aufgebaut werden, deren dezentrale und moderierte Gestaltung viel eher mit den Regeln eines demokratischen und nachhaltigen Miteinanders vereinbar ist.
„Gerade #Hochschulen haben eine Vorbildfunktion und sollten Informationen und Austausch nicht über Überwachungsplattformen anbieten. Das #Fediverse bietet für alle möglichen Anwendungsbedürfnisse verschiedene Plattformen, die alle miteinander vernetzt sind. Hier können Hochschulen nicht nur einen Ersatz für #Microblogging finden, sondern können die Softwares und Funktionen nutzen, die auch private Kommunikation, Gruppen und Foren oder Funktionen für Audio-/Videoformate oder Events bieten (wie #Peertube, #Friendica, #Misskey, #Castopod u.v.m.)“
Microblogs are an interesting thing. I was never able to get into Twitter or Mastodon because it feels so disorganized and chaotic to me. That said, I think microblog compatibility is low key one of Kbin’s best features with a lot of potential. The problem is that right now it seems like kbin doesn’t really know what to do...
Fediverse-Serie: Pleroma & Akkoma: Einfache Kommunikation im Fediverse
Pleroma und Akkoma gehören wegen ihrer Einfachheit zu den beliebtesten Diensten im Fediverse. Gegenüber Mastodon bieten sie default 5000 Zeichen und einige weitere Funktionen.
Feel free to join. We support up to 10k post characters and offer both MastodonBirdUI and TangerineUI.
Also, we have not yet reached our funding goal, currently at 15/100$. If you appreciate what we're doing, please consider contributing a few bucks. It makes a significant difference!
While the above examples can be used for images, Pixelfed was built for, well, images. It was made to cater for uploading photos ah sharing your digital artworks.
Meanwhile, Bookwyrm is best for, can you guess it? #Books! It features bookshelves where you can categorise your collection. You can also track your reading. Leave reviews. #Authors can too, if they want.
It's no different to comparing the old #Twitter vs #Facebook vs #Instagram vs #Goodreads. All of it can host photos and albums, but Instagram is focused on sharing images. Twitter for #microblogging. Facebook for socialising (or ads). Goodreads for books and reviews.
The difference? The latter are disconnected. While the former, the fediverse, are interoperable.
"#Mastodon, the federated #microblogging platform, has been updated to version 4.2, which comes with massive improvements to #search and the web interface, particularly for logged-out and first-time users." #SocialMedia
Fediverse-Serie: Calckey/Firefish - Kommunikation im Fediverse auf einem neuen Level
Calckey/Firefish gehört im Fediverse zu den Microblogging Diensten aber ist auf Grund seiner Herkunft und Fähigkeiten schon weit mehr als das allseits bekannte Mastodon.
Ça serait intéressant ça ? On nous demande souvent si on propose une solution moins lourde et coûteuse que les WordPress dédiés que nous proposons, plutôt adaptés pour les pros. Ça pourrait être ça. Juste une idée...
differences between threadiverse folks and microbloggers on the fedi:
microbloggers boost a lot, but that's not big on the threadiverse
microbloggers tend not to like anything - neither the posts they keep boosting nor the replies to their own posts - whereas this is absolutely common on the threadiverse
microbloggers tend not to reply - whereas on the threadiverse, this keeps happening all the time
Witnessing another occurrrence of the #ReplyGuy anti-pattern this morning inspired me to write some thoughts about this social behavior that is so common on our #Fediverse that is based on #PublicSquare#Microblogging mechanics.
On the #SocialCoding forum I created a category for #SocialExperienceDesign (or #SX) patterns, and the "Reply Guy" #AntiPattern is the first entry in what might be turned into a pattern library collection.
Threads is officially starting to test ActivityPub integration
'Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on Threads that the platform is beginning to test making Threads posts available on Mastodon and other ActivityPub-supporting services'
Threads will allow you to follow Mastodon users by year-end, according to Meta meeting details
'Threads’ roadmap for integrations with the fediverse, aka the network of decentralized apps that includes Twitter/X rival Mastodon and others, has been revealed'
Mastodon users can now share their profiles via QR code on Android
'Decentralized social network Mastodon has updated its official app for Android to let users easily share their profiles with QR codes. This could be useful in loud places like event and hotel lobbies to exchange profiles, the company said in a blog post'
Pray that the Beneath the Tangles microblogging ministries (Twitter, Mastodon, and Threads) will engage our community and point them toward content that honors Christ.
#Bridgy became quietly available for people to test, but as bridged posts started to appear, other people became aware and more people started to test and use the bridge.
To make your fediverse account available in Bluesky, you’ll have to follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
Bluesky says it will allow users to opt out of the public web interface after backlash
'Last month, the company announced its decentralized alternative to Twitter/X would soon open up a public web interface allowing anyone to view the posts on its platform, even if they didn’t have an invite to the app, which remains in a closed beta.'
I wonder what microblogging will look like in Artemis.
