It gets tiring to write Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin to call our part of the Fediverse, is Threadiverse now the accepted term?

    Purtroppo non è semplice sostituire YouTube per chi questo canale rappresenta una fonte di reddito irrinunciabile (ma lo stesso vale per qualunque altra piattaforma).

    La mercificazione dei contenuti, per cui il creatore è incoraggiato economicamente a postare contenuti "richiesti" o "di successo" funziona, altrimenti non ci avrebbero tirato su piattaforme di ogni tipo.

    I contenuti dei content creator professionisti sono video di buona qualità, perché "professione" è una cosa seria, non si gioca con il reddito imponibile. Ma se non c'è domanda non c'è nemmeno offerta. E nessuno domanda su Peertube: anche solo la piattaforma galleggia sulle donazioni private. Mentre su YouTube è la piattaforma che paga, e pertanto ha più capacità della somma dei content creator che ospita.

    Nessuno acquisterebbe attrezzature, spenderebbe tempo nell'editing o nei testi perfetti per farlo senza un ritorno, con alcune notevoli eccezioni, ovviamente, come per tutto: c'è chi ama fare qualcosa di utile e divertente e lo vive come un hobby, e c'è chi ama semplicemente potersi esprimere liberamente.

    Vi immaginate il paradosso di un produttore che guadagna più denaro della piattaforma che lo hosta? Non è sostenibile, non credete?

    Certo ci sono anche le piattaforme di fidelizzazione individuale, come Patreon o Onlyfans, che però paiono funzionare bene solo con particolari e casi d'uso o poche selezionate eccezioni alla regola. E non credo che con Activitypub si possa implementare nativamente una ACL così articolata e granulare come richiesto da questo tipo di piattaforme.

    Penso che su Peertube non si potrà mai pensare di superare la soglia dell'amatoriale, che spesso va più che bene, eh, a meno che qualcuno, dai semi-pro in su, non decida di usarla come piattaforma *pro-bono* secondaria.

    Alla fine la domanda da rispondere è sempre la stessa: quale è il modello di business che rende praticabile e sostenibile questo modello di interazioni sociali? Ricordiamoci che l'unico modello "in perdita" ammesso è quello hobbistico-amatoriale.

  • @storiespettinate @artematiko ahahahah bravissima! Io sono stata sconfitta proprio dalle musiche diffuse nel centro storico di Viterbo! Tra vasche per acquisti regali, semplice passeggio e presidio per la Palestina, non potevo non cadere. Ci riprovo l'anno prossimo!

  • ascolta: ho superato il Whamageddon! E l'ho fatto sprezzante del pericolo: centri commerciali, bar, mercatini natalizi e due fiere di Natale. Anche le musiche natalizie di Viterbo, ma lì mi ha salvata @artematiko ❣️ E due inviti a cena con gli amici che hanno bonificato le playlist.

    E da questo traggo un insegnamento:
    non importa quanto sia scemo il tuo obiettivo, chi ti vuole bene ti sostiene anche nelle scemità.

    Vi auguro amici così.

    Je vous souhaite un doux réveil et un heureux 25, que vous ayez fêté le 24 ou non.
    Ce matin ici il pleut, je doutes qu'on aille monter la T. comme prévu s'il avait neigé.
    Ce matin nous avons découvert au petit déjeuner les livres que nous nous sommes offerts pour notre petit Noël. Pas de surprises mais ça va nous faire notre journée de tout façon.

    Aimez vous !

    Now witness the power of this fully operational Fediverse!https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/11/now-witness-the-power-of-this-fully-operational-fediverse/How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog from each site. It is an imperfect measure - and a vain one - but lets me know where I should be spending my time. No point posting on a network which is just bots talking to each other, right?Earlier this year I built a stats-counter for my blog. Every time someone clicks from a website which links to my blog, it records that visit in a database. I get to see which blog posts are doing numbers, and where those numbers came from.Until fairly recently, the Mastodon social network didn't send referer details. I thought that reduced the visibility of the network and lobbied for it to change. As various Mastodon servers upgrade, and admins opt-in, it is becoming more apparent just how much traffic originates from the Fediverse.Over the last few weeks, here's how many people have clicked from BlueSky and Mastodon to one of my blog posts.TotalSource1,607bsky.app752mastodon.socialAt first glance, it doesn't look good for our elephantine friends, does it? The butterfly sends over twice the traffic. Game over!But, of course, while Mastodon.social is the biggest instance - it is far from the only one. What happens if we slide down the long tail? Here's all the Mastodon-ish instances which sent me over 10 clicks.TotalSource193phanpy.social120 android-app://org.joinmastodon.android/106infosec.exchange62mas.to59mstdn.social55social.vivaldi.net49wandering.shop48fosstodon.org33mathstodon.xyz27mastodon.online26mastodon.scot24app.wafrn.net19indieweb.social18social.lol17tech.lgbt17toot.wales16en.osm.town16feditrends.com14mstdn.ca14piefed.social12wetdry.world11c.im11mastodon.nl51 Sites sending < 10 clicksAh! Add them all up and you get a grand total of 1,773 visitors from Mastodon-powered sites. That's more than BlueSky.Now, there are some obvious caveats to the data:I have a smaller follower count on BlueSky than I do on Mastodon.My posts may appeal more to one demographic than another.People may have strict privacy controls which suppress the true volume of visitors.There's no way to measure how long someone spends reading my posts.RSS and newsletter visitors aren't counted.Clicks from apps may not always show a referer.Some people may be on multiple services.Fediverse users can follow the post directly, so don't need to visit the site to read it.And yet… no matter how you slice it, Fediverse servers are sending as much traffic as BlueSky!I think this is brilliant. Web services should be able to scale from small to big - and each ActivityPub-powered site helps power the open Internet.Just for completeness, this is how Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Lemmy do over the same period:TotalSource1,158reddit.com585 android-app://com.reddit.frontpage/76facebook.com76https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/56https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/52youtube.com41t.co38https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1nsw7f4/til_in_mongolia_instead_of_a_street_address_a/31linkedin.com27 android-app://io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/27https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1nsw7f4/til_in_mongolia_instead_of_a_street_address_a/22https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1n96ftn/40_years_later_are_bentleys_programming_pearls/22lemmy.ca17 android-app://com.linkedin.android/16lemmy.dbzer0.com14feddit.org11https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1n96ftn/40_years_later_are_bentleys_programming_pearls/10discuss.tchncs.de10l.instagram.com8lemmy.blahaj.zone6https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/1m2l84b/considering_making_the_switch_does_google_pay/6reddthat.comIf you add up all the Lemmy instances, they send about as much traffic as Facebook and LinkedIn combined. That's not a huge surprise - those platforms hate anyone clicking away to the wider web.Twitter is basically the Dead Internet. I'm no longer on there, but I do occasionally search it to see who is sharing my posts. The popular posts I write get shared a lot - sometimes by accounts with huge followers - yet there are no comments or retweets and barely and clicks.I don't do Instagram or Threads, and that might be reflected in their low numbers. But I'm not active on YouTube either - yet people there occasionally link back to me.Final ThoughtsFirstly, my stats only represent my site. Your site might be very different.Secondly, I've ignored search engine traffic, big blogs, newsletters, and other sources.Thirdly, and most importantly, this isn't a competition! The desire for a "winner-takes-all" service is dangerous and disturbing. An ecosystem is at its most vibrant when there are multiple participants each thriving in their own niche.I want a thousand sites, running a hundred different software stacks, some of which only serve a dozen people, or even a lone participant.Diversity is strength.#activitypub #bluesky #fediverse #mastodon #statistics

    It took a few days for instances to be upgraded and admins to fill in their profiles but it's looking much healthier now! https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser

    Running a community in the Fediverse means balancing openness with safety. Every year, @iftas takes the pulse of administrators, moderators, and community managers with their Annual Needs Assessment. This survey helps identify what’s working, where support is needed, and which tools can make a difference for those keeping decentralized spaces safe.The 2025 survey is now openTake part in the IFTAS Needs Assessment (5–10 minutes).Take the survey now(If you haven’t seen them before, you can also take a look at last year’s report)Last year’s responses represented moderators of over 4.3 million accounts across ActivityPub platforms. With WordPress now the largest group of federating instances, it’s especially important for our community of hosts, site admins, and moderators to be heard.Moderation in WordPress: From Site-Wide to Personal ControlsWe recently introduced a major update to the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress: personalized and site-wide moderation tools.Site administrators can now set domain, keyword, and actor-level blocks that protect the entire site.Individual users can fine-tune their own experience with personal blocks, managed directly from their profiles.Content is checked against both global and personal rules—so moderation works at every level.These improvements directly address needs raised in previous IFTAS surveys, making moderation more discoverable, flexible, and effective for WordPress communities in the Fediverse.Your Input MattersIFTAS uses the Needs Assessment to guide tools, policies, and advocacy that reflect the real-world challenges of moderators—especially those in under-resourced communities. The more representative the responses, the stronger the outcomes for everyone.If you’re running a federating WordPress site, please consider:Filling out the survey yourself.Sharing it with other admins, moderators, and community organizers.Reminding folks that it’s anonymous, quick, and impactful.Take the 2025 Fediverse Needs AssessmentTogether, we can keep building a safer, healthier Fediverse—one that reflects the needs of its communities.
