Relatica 1.2.1, a Friendica mobile and desktop client, has been released. The biggest visible changes will be the link with preview part of the post/comment composer screen and you can select text within posts. This is also the first release published to the Google Play Store, no beta team access required any longer. There have been some other smaller tweaks as well. APK, Linux, and Windows pre-compiled binaries still available with links from the install page. <a href="/tags/relatica/" rel="tag">#relatica</a> <a href="/tags/friendica/" rel="tag">#friendica</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a><br><a href="https://gitlab.com/mysocialportal/relatica" rel="nofollow">My Social Portal / Relatica · GitLab</a>

<p>To people who love publishing pictures and videos, <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a> allows you to connect your S3 or WebDAV cloud so your media are served directly from your own storage across the Fediverse.<br>As a direct consequence, there is no size limit and videos are automatically transcoded by your device (from 854p to 1920p depending on your choice).<br>Every feature in <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> is built toward full independence on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>.</p>
I always enjoy seeing these public discussions about what the fediverse can and should be.<br><br>Sure there’s a lot to improve, but the social problem of “how should humans behave in a group” is a permanent one.<br><br>Voice is a sign of a healthy community and loyalty. I’ll be worried when i stop reading people argue passionately for what the fediverse should be, because it’s a sign that its members have lost faith in it and would rather exit.<br><br>We’re here voluntarily, with different goals, needs, and expectations. There’s going to be wildly different ideas about what this should look like, and it’ll continue to churn at its edges as long as it exists.<br><br>Defederation is such a powerful tool: we are free to choose who we don’t want to interact with. Us. Not a for profit, not a government, us the members of each server or league of servers. That’s the shape of community.<br><br>The ban, filter and mute are important but individual. Defederation is collective, and I find that much more interesting.<br><br><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a><br>
