FediForum begins later today!We're so excited to see all the cool things happening in the Fediverse and the wider Social Web. If you're going to be showing off what you're working on, we wish you the best of luck. If not, we hope you have fun 🕺 #FediForum #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon

@stefano What exactly are you trying to do when you refer to 'old tech'? Is it for sustainability, saving resources or more like the #permacomputing culture, which most of the time wants to explore what would be possible?My motiviation is mostly 'sustainablity', e.g. using old cheap routers from ebay as #OpenWRT-Devices serving DNS, DHCP. BUT ONLY when they don't consume a lot of energy.This is a stop sign for me: Running old hardware that consumes 3 times more electricity while being 10 times less powerful than a modern device.

Your timeline is what you want it to be on fedi. You build it. You MOLD it, like a piece of clay. It takes time. It takes effort. You'll have to mute sometimes. You likely will have to block. Don't give up.It's worth it. Art. Code. Gaming. Books. Pot Belly Pigs. Death Metal. Whatever your interest, you can find a community here, I promise. Smaller, perhaps, but more connected. You might even have a real conversation with a human being. Give it a try!#Fediverse

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... unfortunately debugging server-to-server interactions is kind of tough. It should work though, so I don't know why it didn't... yet. It could be their version of NodeBB isn't up to date enough. cwsmith@community.darkscribes.com cwsmith@community.nodebb.org are you able to weigh in and let me know the NodeBB version? Could also be a privileges issue with the fediverse pseudo-user.

@stefano "This meeting could have been a beer!"

For those coming over to mastodon from Bluesky, here are a couple of tools to try to enhance your experience here on the Fedi:First up is Phanpy, a minimalistic web client for Mastodon https://phanpy.socialNeed more than 500 characters? Splinter helps turn a long form post into a Mastodon thread. https://splinter.hastily.cc#Mastodon #Bluesky #Fediverse #Phanpy #Splinter

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.#Mastodon #Bluesky #ATProto #Fediverse

⚔️ Cronache del Fediverso – “Il Ban Facile” ⚔️Ogni tanto i cavalieri del keyboard-valor bussano alle porte dei miei piccoli server,convinti di trovarci il buffet aperto. 🤺🍽️Peccato per loro che qui ha vinto la noia: c’è uno che ha tempo libero, ci smanetta, conosce i trucchi e ha il ban facile.Risultato? Invece del trofeo del giorno, ricevono il premio più temuto: una settimana di esilio digitale. 🧨🔎 Per i curiosi (e i distratti)Ecco perché questi attaccanti sembrano più ridicoli che pericolosi:🏷 Si fingono americani (IP sembra registrato in Kentucky)…ma la traccia reale spesso punta a Hong Kong (geolocazioni contrastanti).🆕 IP appena creati — subnet assegnate la scorsa settimana: perfetti per affittare VPS “usa e getta”.🔍 Nessun PTR / reverse DNS configurato: server appena messo online o volutamente “anonimo”.🧭 ASN sospetti (Optibounce / Silverstream / reti “bulletproof”): provider che riciclano blocchi e li spostano in giro per il mondo.✉️ Comportamento tipico: tentativi SMTP/relay e scansioni veloci — presi al volo da fail2ban.⛔ Risultato: ban immediato (7 giorni), recidive trattate con mano ferma (periodi molto più lunghi).💬 Morale della storiaSe volete davvero fare gli “eroi” del net:fatevi un tè, leggete un po’ e lasciate perdere i miei server. Qui non si trovano porticine aperte a caso — si trova solo ordine, logs e un amministratore con tempo libero e riflessi pronti. 😎Alla prossima puntata di🎬 “Phisher & Furious – Truffatori all’ultima mail”.#Fediverso #Fail2ban #SnowfanDefense #CyberChronicles

I understand we have some new #Bluesky refugees here in the #fediverse. Remember to boost and share, the Fediverse is made of people, not exploitive algorithms! Welcome! Intro time:I’m Kevin, been building professional #puppets since 2019. I make videos and tutorials, live #stream, a #podcast, and even do some occasional not-puppet tech and #gaming stuff. All links at https://www.operationpuppet.com. Also an old goth, but you might have guessed that from these examples of my more recent work.

@julian It works, I answered you in the community forum.

Emphasizing moderation differences and such are things best left to discover after the user successfully lands onto the fediverse. At the start they shouldn't even have to think about what instance they want to land on. We're approaching it with the mindset that they "want to join Lemmy/Piefed" — that's not right! They should want to join a specific community, and the server just happens to be whatever they find first. Let's say I like Star Trek. I shouldn't have to be redirected to startrek.website. I should be able to see the community, think "cool I want to participate", and sign up, even if where I landed happens to be feddit, db0, or a random NodeBB instance.

Welcome Bluesky users. I'm not sure what has brought you here, but I'm happy that you're open to change.One tip for you: take a look at @FediTips Read their feed or follow them. Lots of great toots and thread. And suggestions for accounts to follow.#Bluesky #Mastodon #Fediverse

@Micolcosta gente, come nella media del fediverso, simpatica. ha periodi in cui è lentone e buggato, però per condividere foto direi che va bene!

@Lioh thank you! It felt very appropriate for my theme of federated communities in particular 😌

Ich habe eine Brotbüchse voll #Sticker für den #FediDay dabei :DWird gleich in der Pause zu den anderen Stickern in der Mainhall gelegt.#Lieblingssticker #Fediverse #BerlinFediDay #BerlinFediDay25 #BerlinFediDay205 #FediDay25 #FediDay2025

Choice is power.Choice is freedom.And I will never have anyone take that away from me.@_elena kicks off Berlin #FediDay with something like a #Fediverse creed.#SaveSocial
