<p>Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition. </p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a></p>

<p>Last Week in Fediverse – ep 89</p><p>Shortform video platform Loops opens a waitlist for signups, Mosaic is a service to help organisations create their custom version of upcoming platform Bonfire, and the new owners of event planning platform Mobilizon release a big new update.</p><p>The News</p><p>Loops is an upcoming fediverse platform for short form video, build by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. On the <a href="https://loops.video/" rel="nofollow">loops.video</a> site there has been a countdown over the last month that ended this Monday, and with it, people can now sign up for Loops. Loops is currently still being worked on, with Supernault working on getting the apps out to release. The Android app will be made available as an APK, and the iOS app is waiting <a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113350085948474400" rel="nofollow">approval</a> for TestFlight. Loops is currently developed as a mobile-first platform, and does not have a webUI yet, with Supernault <a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113350612153639047" rel="nofollow">saying</a> that a webUI will come later. He also reports that emails welcoming people after they have signed on are rate-limited by the email provider, resulting in a long delay before people can be onboarded. Moderation services for Loops are currently being worked on as well, and Supernault is <a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113356214510097275" rel="nofollow">looking</a> for moderators to help moderate the platform.</p><p><a href="https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/mosaic/" rel="nofollow">Mosaic</a> is a new service by the Bonfire team, where the Bonfire team will help organisations build and set up their own digital federated spaces. <a href="https://bonfirenetworks.org/" rel="nofollow">Bonfire</a> is an upcoming fediverse platform that focuses on customisation and extensibility, that people and organisations can customise to meet their needs. Mosaic is a way for the Bonfire team to help onboard organisations and customise the platform to their needs. Extensions and other improvements made with Mosaic are then available for the rest of the community to use as well, as part of their AGPL license, so that everyone benefits from contributions made by others. Bonfire is currently available for testing, but not for official release yet. The main blocker seems to be slow performance of Bonfire, and the developers have put out a <a href="https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/camp/" rel="nofollow">bounty</a> for other developers to help them improve performance. </p><p>An <a href="https://www.blog-pat.ch/a-different-web/" rel="nofollow">update</a> by Newsmast on what they are working on with Channels.org. They relate Newsmast’s Channels to Bluesky’s custom feeds (as DYI algorithms) and Farcaster’s channels (‘Cozy corners’). For Newsmast, Channels are a way to onboard public organisations, giving them their own place (the channel) to distribute their content, where the space is clearly their own, but still part of the larger fediverse network. Newsmast also notes that they’ll focus on Channels for now, and that Patchwork, the plugin system for Mastodon servers is postponed to early next year to prevent the team from stretching themselves too thin. Newsmast’s Michael Foster also <a href="https://www.blog-pat.ch/addition-magic-community/" rel="nofollow">blogged</a> about how we can build a different web together as well, reiterating my point that the current trend seems for AT Protocol to be used for public and global conversations, and ActivityPub for (semi)-private networked communities.</p><p>IFTAS held a 2024 Survey among fediverse moderators, and while they are preparing a full report they give some <a href="https://about.iftas.org/2024/10/16/2024-survey-early-highlights/" rel="nofollow">early highlights on the results</a>. Based on their survey data IFTAS estimates that there are 5500 users per moderator on the fediverse, which is between three and ten times as many moderators compared to other Big Tech platforms.</p><p>An <a href="https://www.techpolicy.press/online-safety-and-the-great-decentralization-the-perils-and-promises-of-federated-social-media/" rel="nofollow">article</a> by Techpolicy.press goes into detail on ‘The Perils and Promises of Federated Social Media’. It draws attention to pravda.me as an example of the expanding threat landscape on decentralised social networks; a large Mastodon server that bears all the hallmarks of inauthenticity, but is barely blocked on or on the radars of the larger fediverse community. The article also makes a distinction between moderation questions where decentralisation empowers communities (often related to political or sexual content), and issues where centralisation is more beneficial, such as spam and CSAM. Accompanying the article is also a <a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/aaf1f847-89df-4a72-8bef-9c828876b2d0" rel="nofollow">podcast interview</a> with Erin Kissane and Darius Kazemi about their <a href="https://fediverse-governance.github.io/" rel="nofollow">fediverse governance report</a>.</p><p>Fediverse event planning platform Mobilizon got transferred from developers Framasoft to a new organisation, Kaihuri, who have gotten a grant from NLnet to further expand the platform. They have now released <a href="https://joinmobilizon.org/en/news/#24-10-11" rel="nofollow">v5 of Mobilizon</a>, with new features such as a homepage redesign, a monthly calendar view, better management of recurring or ongoing events, and more.

<p>Thanks to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@DavidRGardiner" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>DavidRGardiner</span></a></span> I was able to fix some issues in the <a href="/tags/manfredapp/" rel="tag">#ManfredApp</a>. I am currently testing the next release which will feature:</p><p>- Pasting images from the clipboard into posts<br>- Better scrolling experience in threads<br>- Stopping any video playback when leaving the app, because it would kill background music re-entering (there is still an issue with GIFs unfortunately).</p><p>Thanks for all the feedback.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonapp/" rel="tag">#MastodonApp</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/psa/" rel="tag">#PSA</a> <br><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a>, nor the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> in general will never ask you to &quot;verify&quot; with payment details, especially not from a non-moderator account. If you get a message asking you to verify, it is a <a href="/tags/scam/" rel="tag">#Scam</a> <a href="/tags/bot/" rel="tag">#Bot</a>, and you should block and <a href="/tags/report/" rel="tag">#report</a> it to <a href="/tags/moderation/" rel="tag">#moderation</a>.</p><p>We are currently getting a wave of <a href="/tags/spam/" rel="tag">#spam</a> from bots like this.

<p>Here&#x27;s another cool feature of Bonfire. One account, many profiles. </p><p>When you create an account, you can create multiple profiles, each with it&#x27;s own unique followers, content and settings (and emojis!). </p><p>1 account. 1 password. Many profiles.</p><p>Ownership of profiles can be shared with others. A news publication can share posting responsibilities, for example.</p><p><a href="https://tube.tchncs.de/w/wDXxMXUMbC12ern22a9VES" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="tube.tchncs.de/w/wDXxMXUMbC12ern22a9VES"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tube.tchncs.de/w/wDXxMXUMbC12e</span><span class="invisible">rn22a9VES</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/bonfire/" rel="tag">#Bonfire</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>

<p>2025 was huge for the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p><p>Mad respect to all the devs, artists, and community members making this movement unstoppable</p>

<p>I think that there is a real case for developing a <a href="/tags/webcomics/" rel="tag">#webcomics</a> platform for the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>. I am going to start trying to make this, but my dev skills are 20 years old at best. I need all kinds of help from <a href="/tags/developers/" rel="tag">#developers</a> and <a href="/tags/designer/" rel="tag">#designer</a>.If other people want to see this happen, please let me know.</p>

<p>So after a little over 3 years on <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> I hit the &quot;milestone&quot; of 200 followers. It&#x27;s been a fun and pretty chill ride here in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>. </p><p>Thank you all for keeping this a fun and interesting place. Twitter has always felt really argumentative and hostile (even before Musk), but this was never the case here.</p><p>Feels good to call this /home 😁</p><p><a href="/tags/wholesome/" rel="tag">#wholesome</a></p>

<p>🆕 on the blog: you can now share posts directly on your timeline.<br>Enter the name of your own server (instance), you&#x27;ll then be presented with a normal Mastodon box to edit/publish your &quot;toot&quot; et voilà!</p><p><a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#Blog</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>

<p>I think it&#x27;s going to be more important than ever that <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> and the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.</p>
