Facing the tranquil morning, much like Sunrise, I'm reminded of the hope that comes with each new day. As the sun paints the sky with its gentle hues, I'm painting my aspirations for a brighter tomorrow. 🌅✨

While I sit here alone, I dream of a community where we're all united, standing by each other's side through thick and thin. Just as the sun's rays touch everything in its embrace, I want our bonds to spread warmth and support.

Lately, my health has been a battle – enduring cough, fever, dizziness, and the weight of three long years of mental stress. But this sunrise serves as a reminder that even the darkest nights eventually give way to the dawn.

With this post, I'm not just sharing a picture; I'm extending an invitation. An invitation to join me on my journey to build a space where goodness prevails, where we offer solace in times of need, and where we collectively strive for better days.

So, as the sky transitions from night to day, let's transition from isolation to unity. Let's come together and create a community where kindness is our foundation, empathy our strength, and support our constant. Here's to embracing brighter mornings, healing hearts, and nurturing connections. 🌄🌟

Remember - code is for PEOPLE to read, not machines. If the only reason we wrote code was to get machines to do stuff, we'd still be writing assembly. Languages were invented so that PEOPLE could read the code too. Never forget that's who you're writing code for.

Security consultancy Midnight Blue has found 5 vulnerabilities in the #TETRA radio standard used globally by emergency services, critical infrastructure & government agencies. The vulns named #TETRA:BURST allow for o.a. realtime decryption & message injection. The researchers reported them 2021, followed by a 1.5 year disclosure process. Mitigation measures were shared with stakeholders and will be made public when the embargo lifts August 9. https://www.midnightblue.nl/tetraburst #encryption #security

We need a worldwide general strike. Everyone except volunteer rescue & infrastructure workers needs to stay home. We need to protest the incineration of our planet. Right now.

I’m leaving out all the details. Help me out.

So. In 1 day, Threads has gotten more users than all of Mastodon combined. My friends are on Threads. They're not coming to Mastodon. I've tried. I couldn't even convince my fiance to join me on Mastodon for longer than a day, and we live together.

How would you suppose I talk to my friends? By joining Meta? Or by staying with FOSS on the fediverse? Because when you say "everywhere needs to defederate from Meta" you're also saying "You shouldn't talk to your friends here, nor should your friends be able to talk to you."

Quite frankly - I really enjoy that I can both be here and still be in contact with my friends. Meta can't track me here (as much, I'm aware they can still siphon data but they could do that regardless). I'd much rather stay here if I can. But if given the chance to choose, I'm going to move to somewhere that federates with Threads. Not because I like Meta - I hate Zuck almost as much as I do Elon, which is quite a lot - but because I'd rather see and talk to my friends than be locked in with a bunch of rando control freaks jumping at shadows.

If the fedipact had it their way, anywhere that federated with Threads would in turn become defederated. This will create 2 separate fediverses. People will have to choose which one they spend time on - even if they have accounts on both sides, one will always be the "primary" account.

I posit that for many people, the "primary" account is going to be the one with their friends and interests. It's going to be the side with the influencers they follow. Simply, it's going to be the one that federates with Threads. The other side will slowly wither and die, as all the content dries up and people move to where the network effect is strongest.

You can argue that we need to defederate because of "embrace, extend, extinguish". Tell me: what is the end result of EEE? A diminished fediverse, where most people use the single app that has all the people and all the content. How is that different than the splintered fediverse caused by the fedipact?

It's really not much different at all. If Meta goes for EEE, there is no stopping them. If the fedipact takes hold and rabidly defederated anywhere that glances at Meta, then the fediverse's network effect will shatter. The fedipact will simply backfire and shoot themselves in the foot as people choose the side with the larger network effect. It's ridiculous that the idea has gotten as much traction as it has; the fedipact's best-case scenario is worse than the worst-case of EEE.

If a bunch of people want to live in small segmented communities, that's on them. Beehaw is right there if you want it; that's what Beehaw aspires for. But large, general-purpose instances shouldn't bow to the whims of a loud minority that don't even realize the repercussions of their agitations.

The fediverse is at its strongest when we federate. That's what makes this place special. We've agreed that walled gardens are bad, and the one time that we have a chance to get a bunch of "normal" users on the fediverse everyone panics because they're afraid of EEE.

The fedipact isn't going to stop EEE. If Meta wants to do EEE, they're going to do it with or without the fedipact. We don't even know for sure that EEE will happen - it's true that Meta is a business, but there are plenty of open protocols you use every day that never got hit by EEE. L

All the fedipact will do is hurt people who want to use free software to see their friends so this loud minority can exercise their control over everyone.

You have the power to block the domain here if that's what you want to do. Please don't let your personal fears ruin the experience of others.

“The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.”

Famous last words.

Meta Threads is coming to the #fediverse. What do you think of that?

#Mastodon #Twitter #Meta #Threads #TwitterMigration

wiredfire,

@jon it opens a door to a more open web for the undoubtedly vast numbers of people who join it. I welcome the new people. That being said there are some legitimate concerns about federating with threads considering their current issues with the EU.

Those worried about privacy should consider that most of us are posting publicly with that data being available to literally anyone, including Meta, that wishes to browse or scrape it

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, posted a message on explaining why Meta is committed to adding support. The reason he lists is the ability to take your social graph to another server.

This was @pixelfed's first logo, the one I designed myself lol

Two weeks after launch (mid June 2018), a logo contest was organized by the community with a cash prize of donations (80% of winners donated back to the project!)

What an amazing part of our history, that was really special and energized my passion for this project!

There's a lot of talk about social media these days: #Twitter restrictions and changes, #Meta #Facebook launching #Threads.
And there's #Mastodon which is open & decentralized. That's why we became the first browser to have our own server here - #VivaldiSocial.
Vivaldi Social has no ads and your behavior is not tracked or analyzed for vested interests. It is all about what you like, who you want to follow and interact with. You have control. :tony_happy:

Splinterverse 2024

It's been a year since IG and Tumblr joined the fediverse, the fediverse has splintered into various groups of interop

Everything is fine, as this was literally the point of decentralization

Except for the karens who rallied against the "HOA"

They become the HOA they were so against, trying to unify the "splinterverse" in their own vision

Everything is still fine

Most people didn’t care when they came for trans people

“Doesn’t effect me”

Almost half of people didn’t care when they overturned Roe

“Doesn’t effect me”

Now they’re coming for birth control.

So where is the line? When will it finally effect enough people so they stand up?

Republican voters aren't all dumb

They are racists who are smart enough to know they don't want to be ones picking fruit in 40 degrees heat

They are religious bigots who are smart enough to side with oil kleptocrats as they buy corrupt Supreme Court justices to turn Americans into peons enriching the rich

They are misogynists who are smart enough to see the childless who escaped their fate of having their children used as pawns & hostages in a war on democracy by oil oligarchs

Kbam for Kbin is coming along!

I suggest you follow @hariette and her app #artemis for now

She is building an amazing Kbin app inspired by Apollo which is iconic, my app Kbam will be a bit different as I don't want to duplicate her efforts

Fediverse app developers like her are often underappreciated, please let her know how much you appreciate the efforts of a Kbin app ❤️

Last Week in the Fediverse - ep 25

Some standouts of this weeks news:

Lemmy and Kbin (the 'threadiverse') have experienced rapid growth over the last two weeks, before yesterday's shutdown of third party apps for Reddit.

Meta's Twitter competitor is named Threads, new screenshots available.

Kolektiva.social's data got seized by the FBI in an (unrelated) raid, after the admin erroneously had left an unencrypted backup on a local drive.

I don't have many followers compared to some more established fediverse developers, but I will use my following to spread awareness of less known fediverse projects and initiatives when I can.

If you have a legit fediverse related project or initiative you'd like me to boost, don't hesitate to DM me!

We're all in this together, and fuck follower counts, we're all equals ❤️
