Hey everyone,While @joynewacc’s Internet connection is offline during her move, I was lucky enough to have @aseelfromgz with me today as we carried out today’s verification video calls for Gaza Verified and we’re happy to welcome four new accounts/families to Gaza Verified.They are:• Mohamed Hesham – @mohamedhesham• Naeema family – @naeemafamily• Hema Alshaer – @hemaalshaer• Seraj Alnajjar – @serajnjar20Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.Also, please remember that Aseel is in Gaza too and is helping others despite facing the very same challenges herself. You can help her and her family via her:• PayPal (easier for them to get the funds): https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7DTFU9TQV44EY• GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-aseel-and-family-leave-gaza-before-its-too-late/💕#Gaza #Palestine #GazaVerified #Mastodon #fediverse #newMembers #verification

One of my favourite features of the #fediverse is seeing people *learning things*. There are so many folks here discovering dying arts and trades. People learning how the things we take for granted work, and endeavouring to implement them themselves!People getting their #HAMradio licenses, #selfhosting, making clothing, blacksmithing, gardening, repairing their own things, backporting modern software to run on windows 3.11... Y'all are my people. Never stop learning, and never stop sharing what you've learned.

@davew @pfefferle Ha! Yeah, it's a mind bender alright!At least the Spam aspect shouldn't be a concern with all the back-and-forth to even allow quote posts.The way I look at it is integrating an ActivityPub concept with a blogging concept that's already familiar to WP users.

The pizza was good and now it's time to go to bed. Ready for a new week. Ready for a new Monday.Goodnight, #FediverseGoodnight, world!

From the streets of Sydney to the halls of Glasgow University, the world is rising in protest. Hashtags like #GazaUnderAttack, #FreePalestine, and #StrikeForGaza are trending as governments silence dissent and criminalize protest. But we’re still here, still speaking out. This isn’t just about Gaza it’s about the right to resist, the right to exist, and the right to be heard. If you’re watching, join us. If you’re silent, you’re complicit.#fediverse #israel #gaza

Oh no! I just found out that earthstream.social went down without notice, taking with it 38,000 posts from 1,500 individual accounts, including the beloved Owls in Towels :(Make sure to follow them on their new account: @owlsintowels__https://mas.to/@owlsintowels/115378110285405922earthstream.social has been deleted : Mastodonhttps://old.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1o9x6n8/earthstreamsocial_has_been_deleted/#Fediverse #OwlsInTowels #EarthstreamSocial

@konstantin I used it for the latest incarnation of my resume/linktree site, just to try it out but I do have a grand vague vision of some kind of social portfolio platform. I went through the tutorial and was able to get deployed (deno) and followable pretty easily, but I'm not really a server-side person and I don't enjoy Javascript/Typescript so it's already in maintenance mode. I might have more interest in an equivalent in Rust, Elixir, even...Swift (I think Vernissage is Swift).

@acirep 🤣I couldn't even decide which movie I wanted to watch

@weekinfediverse v4.4.7 was released 2 days ago =)https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.7

I’ve been thinking about discovering underappreciated Lemmy instances. GitHub’s awesome-lemmy-instances used to serve a similar purpose, but it hasn’t been updated in a long time, and I haven’t found anything else like it. I got the idea from this post about finding decentralized communities in the Fediverse. I’m thinking of a Lemmy bot that tracks Lemmy instances, calculates the average number of active users and standard deviation, and identifies instances with activity below the average plus two standard deviations. It would then rank these underutilized instances by performance metrics like uptime and response time, and periodically update a curated list on Lemmy to guide users toward instances that could use more participation. I'd love feedback on how you would go about doing something like this. And specifically how to rank by performance.

@feyter ohh boy... IMHOI believe I am a game developer. Even though my games are barely games and I have sold $0.I am also a hobby game developer, because I am not selling anything and I just want to make something.A profesional game developer is someone that can/has gotten hired to develop games.An indie games developer used to mean something but can now mean almost anything.A solo games developer is a rockstar fullstack genius that does entire games, except the parts they cant do.🤭
