Happy 9th anniversary to the first Mastodon post!
Remember when “social media” was “social networking”?
What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff.
Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the #fediverse special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.
As part of an ongoing effort with We Distribute and #Fediverse advocacy, I’m looking at connecting with other journalists currently writing about the Fediverse, Nostr, Bluesky, and other efforts to build a decentralized social Web.
I think it may be possible, even beneficial, to create a newswire service spanning our different sites and publications, to help keep everyone reporting on this growing space on the same page.
Rail.chat is a Mastodon server for anyone interested in passenger and freight trains, their connection to transit and other non-car options, and their benefit to society:

Will the last small site turn off the lights?
The UK Online Safety Act imposes the same duties and penalties on blogs, forums and fedi instances as huge platforms.
Many small, safely moderated sites will shut down or block UK users.
Crushing competition is the last thing we need for a safer Internet!
Act now before 17 March ⬇️

Is the world in need of a federated Craigslist/Kleinanzeigen platform? I am currently thinking about a project to dig into #fediverse development and learning #golang or stay with #deno and using #fedify.
EDIT: There is already something like that on the fediverse! It's called Flohmarkt. Thanks for the comments mentioning that!

I have created an US-sized (3.5x2in) version of the #FediCard , as well as written some explanations and instructions.
I would _really_ appreciate if someone here who participates in the upcoming #NoKings #protests for #July4th would print some of these out, distributed them, and told me what the reaction of the recipients was.

If there's ever a day to shout "No Kings" from the rooftop, it's tomorrow.
How is even a MAGA supposed to argue with saying No Kings on Independence Day (from a king)?

I've updated the Fedi.Garden website so it now has a section for well-run servers that support longer posts:
➡️ https://fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-size
The post size character limits for each server are listed within their entries.
(If you would like your Fediverse server listed on Fedi.Garden, please check that it's compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site and then send me a DM confirming this 🙂 )

hello #Fediverse👋🏼I thought 2025 is done w/ me but i'm still here..
In my neighborhood & I guess all over the country, Crime & Bad People are uprising & very alarming. Long story short
My wallet,phone & important stuffs are lost💔😢 I'm beyond devastated. Just wanted to tell y'all too, My Pypal 
is having problem w/ my Address & My ID is not on their list of accepted😢 I FEEL SO DOWN & USELESS.Using my old phone that's barely functioning rn.
I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!
Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!
This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.
Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!
This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊
