Harry from village.one is now talking about the Fediverse and cooperatives. How does it relate to “choose your instance”?#sfscon #fediverse

@argv_minus_one check the talk summary: https://www.sfscon.it/talks/build-your-own-timeline-algorithm/

Ever wonder why you see the #fedi22 hashtag in bios?Yeah, that's my fault. I built a People Directory in 2022 for the #fediverse that used that hashtag for verification.I'll improve it and make it way better, perhaps with Starter Pack support 😉https://fediverse.info/explore/people

@fediforum nice, @tobias always teaches me something new!

It’s so rare that somebody talks about care in a presentation about software! 🌻Thank you @Bonfire ❤️I love that @ivan and @mayel bring #anarchism to #SFSCON 🤟🏼#Fediverse #Bonfire #care #software

@informapirata @bonfire @fediverso è quello il guaio: oggi se non hai una comunicazione efficace, puoi avere l'idea di inventare il mondo, ma non ne sei in grado. Io voglio capirlo perché casomai accenno a bonfire nel talk al #WCPISA

@stefano I'm trying SeaweedFS as a S3 storage (and FUSE mounts, too) on my daily job and looks wonderful so far. Such much easier than Ceph to set up.I'm also pushing a bit to have more metrics. 🤣

Edit: sorted, it's https://mastoreader.io/Dear fedi, is there a "threader" type thing for fedi theads?As in: give it a multi-post Fediverse thread, receive a single HTML page with it written out kinda sorta like an article?Thanks!#AskFedi #Fediverse

@Neko0001 bonjour!

Looking for Fediverse oddities!I am super late, OVER THE DEADLINE to submit the slides of my talk at SFSCON 2025, but I still want to add a few little things, and I need tips.My presentation ends by listing a few “crazy but true” things about the Fediverse.Can you help me find a few more in the next couple hours?So far I have:Truth Social uses Mastodon and it was forced to open-source its code after it was discoveredSome public institutions host their own Fediverse instances!You could host a Fediverse server in your living roomYou can use a car’s on-board computer to power a Fediverse serverYou can synchronize your personal calendar with federated calendars from the Fediverse (using @gancio)You can buy indie music by paying an artist directly (using @bandwagon)You can do academic peer-reviews via the Fediverse (using @bonfire)What else??? I only want cool or incredible things.#Fediverse #help #oddities #conference #presentation #talk #SFSCON #SFSCON2025

This is an important thing to consider, and why NodeBB decided to even pursue federation at all. It's arguable that we've reached the point at which forums cannot organically grow due to the ubiquity of social media. Depending on who you ask, we've reached that point 10+ years ago already. It's becoming increasing imperative that forums federate or risk dying due to attrition. Forums used to be the social network for niche topics. Facebook (with Groups) and Twitter (with hashtags) started competing, and Reddit (with subreddits) made another huge dent. There are some communities that fear integrating with AP will cause their local communities to become flooded with just anybody. Those fears are unjustified, but understandable.
