Andrew Kay (novaTopFlex) is currently in multiple ongoing philosophical arguments involving Alexander Kingsbury, Mojo, and MrLee on Mastodon, all under a common core of shared beliefs for—or against—capitalism. While novaTopFlex fears infinite growth and the criminalization of genuine friendship and authenticity as well as forced conformity to traditional roles in society, Kingsbury claims that capitalism contains no demands for infinite growth nor for related concerns. In addition, Mojo and MrLee have identified common concerns regarding the erosion of community and empathy in a society that prides wealth accumulation as “success.”

How to Install #Pixelfed on #Ubuntu VPS (8 Step Quick-Start Guide) This article provides a guide for how to install Pixelfed on Ubuntu VPS.What is Pixelfed?PixelFed is a decentralized, open-source photo-sharing platform similar to Instagram but built on the #Fediverse (federated social networks using the #ActivityPub protocol). It allows users to host their own instances and interact with users across ...Continued 👉 https://blog.radwebhosting.com/how-to-install-pixelfed-on-ubuntu-vps/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon.raddemo.host #selfhosting #vpsguide #installguide #selfhosted

I’m setting up the ActivityPub Fuzzer. What’s not clear to me is whether or not this thing can run over localhost on two different ports or whether a proxy is required.#activitypub

Es wäre etwas anderes, wenn ich keine Beweise hätte. Wenn ich nur eine zufällige Person wäre, die wilde Behauptungen ohne jegliche Dokumentation aufstellt, wäre das natürlich Unsinn.Aber ich habe Beweise. Ich habe das aus erster Hand gesehen und sogar das Risiko auf mich genommen, Dinge von der Arbeit zu teilen, um es zu untermauern.Dieser Ort soll doch besser sein als Blue Sky, Twitter, Facebook und Reddit – richtig?Wenn dem so ist, warum werden dann Betrüger geschützt und behandelt, als gehörten sie zu einer besonders geschützten Personengruppe?#Betrug #Täuschung #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Twitter #Reddit #Facebook #BlueSky

It would be one thing if I had no proof. If I were just a random making wild claims without any documentation, of course, that would be nonsense.But I have proof. I have seen this first hand and even took the risk of sharing things from work to back up. This place is supposed to be better than Blue Sky, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit --- Right?If so, why embrace and protect scammers as if they were a protected class of people?#Scam #Fraud #Fediverse #ActivityPub

Unfortunately, the administrator at social.tchncs.de is a coward. It is not racism or sexism or discrimination of any kind to call out a confirmed scammer.What is happening is Gaza is awful. I have never wavered on this fact. What Israel has done to these poor people is a crime against humanity.But so is a scam trying to make itself as support. That too is an injustice.I need a site that will ignore such nonsense. When there are photos and videos proving there is a scam, and it is not just a wild claim, it should be upheld.If Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter can recognize this as a scam (with proof). Surely, so can the Fediverse. #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #Misskey #Scam #Fraud

Summer/Autumn 2025: Little coding, but lots of socializing and planningAt the first October weekend I (@linos) was attending the Berlin FediDay 2025. It was a meetup of the Berlin and German community, developers of Fediverse applications, and representatives of German speaking media institutions. It was great to see old friends again and meet some online contacts for the first time. We were discussing the future and the role of the Fediverse, which was super motivating. #FediDayTwo weeks later, I travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, to attend this year’s OpenFest, give a talk and lead a workshop on how the Fediverse can help announce and discover events. Unfortunately, the talk didn’t attract much attention, as LLMs are currently drawing more of an audience. But the discussions with those in attendance were very interesting. The workshop was mainly about trying out #Gancio, #WordPress and #Mastodon and learning about the possibilities for local communities by trying out the applications themselves. I simply provided real test instances, created a list of tasks, including minor pitfalls, and, of course, answered all the questions that came up – and there were quite a few! And a big thank you to the crew and the organizing team, who were so friendly and simply wonderful throughout. #OpenFestYesterday, I had an awesome online meeting with the incredibly cool folks behind LAUTI, a free and open-source software for hosting small event calendars. #LAUTI is aimed at small and medium-sized communities and has a big focus on social, cultural and activist stuff. The instance for the Stuttgart area, run by the collective that develops it (@klasse_methode@chaos.social), can be found at https://einftopf.info. The developers are in the process of exploring the potential of #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. I’m very excited and think this could be really great! In case you’ve been wondering: I see LAUTI kind of in between #Mobilizon and #Gancio. In my opinion, it would not be a competitor to them, but it could be a great addition to the Fediverse by filling this gap.I will be at the #SFSCON in Bolzano, Italy, in two weeks. There will be a whole afternoon focusing on the Fediverse! So in case you’re there you’re invited to join my short talk about Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse: status quo and vision. Or you’re welcome any time to say hello and let’s have a chat.After that, it’s time to sit down and get back to programming. But it’s very important to me to continually evaluate and understand what the priorities are, and to remind myself why it’s so important that we all continue our work in this area.#ActivityPub #FediDay #Fediverse #Gancio #Lauti #Mastodon #Mobilizon #OpenFest #SFSCON #WordPress

I love the excitement for new #ActivityPub based projects. Maybe i'm wrong but 'loops will do for the fediverse what the iPhone did for smartphones' seems a bit out of touch.Nothing wrong with being excited, but seeing how few people know of or care about Pixelfed still outside of Mastodon users who many have bailed for Bluesky, I think maybe, just maybe, the fedi is a hopeful echo chamber in a bubble sometimes. #Reality #Fediverse #Mastodon #Loops #Pixelfed #TikTok #Instagram

Just enable #ActivityPub on your closed platforms, you cowards. Nothing prevents this. People won't leave if you're actually better. #SocialWeb

dominikhofer@social.lol nope, ActivityPDS was initially exploring if I could reuse the bluesky OAuth code outside of their codebase, the next phase of development would be exploring Actors & Webfinger (or not) and ActivityPub C2S paired with S2S. It's specifically not a protocol translator, but rather a "what if we had a AT Protocol PDS shaped thing in the AP universe. Like how can C2S DX be improved? Can it even be improved?

@dansupLooks very pretty, cannot wait

@thenexusofprivacy Simply engage with them. Every now and then check out #introduction and give out a few welcomes. (And tell them to check out https://fedi.tips/ and ask @FediTips if they have any questions. 🤷)

@rimu Hey Rimu :)I'm running this in an iOS simulator just to show the mobile theme, but this is 100% a web app.There are many uses for this kind of geotagging. I won't be hosting a public Atlas server, but others communities/organizations can launch their own for whatever purposes they need.

Vacations are wonderful. It is a privilege to be able to travel without worry. It's also wonderful to be home, and to have the time to work on projects I care about. With those thoughts in mind, I present release v3.1.1 of Ktistec, an ActivityPub server written in the Crystal programming language!This release is a mixed bag of small features and improvements:AddedAuto-link URLs in posts. (fixes #24)Support searching by actor username. (fixes #102)Support hourly granularity in metrics charts.FixedMark actor as down if refresh fails.Remove draft posts from the everything collection.Ignore charts with no points in the date range.Ensure HTTP::Client instances are closed.I added support for multiple users at the beginning of the month. I'm very interested in feedback on how that's working out for anyone using it.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang

Moin Leute ich brauche mal ein bisschen #fedipower zum Thema Mastodon / Activitypub Bots.Gibt es eine einheitliche API mit der ich zum Beispiel bei Mastodon, GoToSocial, Misskey etc. Nachrichten / Bilder für einen Bot Account abliefern kann oder kocht da jedes Projekt sein eigenes Süppchen?Ich habe für Emby ja schon Plugins für Telegram und Matrix geschrieben und würde nun gerne eines für das Fediverse bauen. Aber nur um ein paar Statusmeldungen abzuliefern wäre ein kompletter ActivityPub Client in CSharp wohl overkill (und auch ausserhalb meines Horizonts).#activitypub #fediverse #bots #softwaredevelopment #emby #boostok #pleaseboost

BlogbasteleiNur ganz kurz, das ActivityPub Plugin ist wieder aktiv. Eigentlich hatte ich es nur nochmal installiert weil ich was nachschauen wollte. Dann habe ich mir gedacht, ich lasse jetzt mal drin.Vielleicht kann ich es tatsächlich demnächst mal brauchen, mal sehen.Man kann dem Blog also wieder im Fediverse folgen unter: @bloghttps://rausgerufen.de/blogbastelei-6/#ActivityPub #Fediverse #Plugin #WordPress

anyone know any good #Bonfire servers with open signups? looking to try out the platform! #ActivityPub

#nextcloud and #syncthing and #deltachat are the real revolutionary technologies of recent. I guess #activitypub too

@mlabowicz Thanks! I’ll have to figure out how to get this done. Right now, #Emissary is pretty light on stats and analytics, but I can see how this would help make it fun for people to use :)
