    The is starting to feel too hostile to technology and for my liking. Time to hang out on for a while.


    @crw In an ideal world, the tool would not be used to weaponize someone for their opinion. But the world we live in, uses it to the enth degree. So honestly, having it there and not using it, speaks louder to your commitment to leave open channels of communication open. And I think, being transparent about something like that, is the best solution. Then you run the risk of being labelled a spam supporter, but I digress. You can't please everyone. In an ideal world, you don't block anyone. You control who you allow into your circle but then you run the risk of them disagreeing with you, and your circle empties out due to it being too stale. You need to be able to discover social trends in ways that creates further ambition however slight it may be. But you don't want that turning poisonous against the people who support your journey to obtain that either. And the problem I have with these privacy only tools, is that things that don't see the light of day, weaponize them for really shady purposes. Then they restrict the common person due to that exposure of prolonged service use cases, onto everyone which is why FB ends up becoming the shithole that it is. In 2004 if you would have shown that version of FB to its founder, in 2026, would he have built it? No. I don't think so. And that's my point. The fediverse allows you to still be relevant enough, and other projects as well, to still say yes I'd try this. Not just for who you agree or disagree with, but because you are the experience of your efforts as well as a social person with a tiny website responsibility to uphold on the side. But it's not blatantly in your face, the way an FB group would be or a reddit thread could be today. The inability to cap regulation control has inshitified the internet and quite honestly, the only solution to that, is more self hosted instances that see the light of day. Otherwise, you end up with a service like Telegram that just gets banned. Or if decentralized media becomes too dark, unable to be installed on any OS at the app level due to restrictions on acceptable forms of identification the OS tracks. Even if you do use some obscure form of Linux, that's where we're headed if we don't use common ways of identification that are easily memorable so they don't get weaponized for being too unstoppable in situations, that need them to be. According to who ever uses fear as a way of controlling what you can and can't do, say or become online that is. Just take a look at Matrix, and how badly their clients have inshitified that app experience...I'm looking at you, Element. things like this, look important, feel interesting, serve a tiny purpose, but come with too much extra overhead that doesn't meet the end goal of what someone wants to do to sell that as its only point to get popular enough to justify keeping it around unless you need absolute security. And that involves things like ensuring apps like Signal don't centralize data streams it knows about. ON the fediverse, you've got logs to make sure that doesn't happen. What other servers do with your public posts, is on you to ensure they remain in your control to share or not. But what you do with your data on your server instance, is your choice. And to have the option to put that first, is what people thought the internet in its entirety would allow us to create no matter what protocol we used in the beginning of the 80's / 90's with news groups and email lists, that later graduated to open forums.

    Trump Goes on Wild Rant as Irish PM Struggles Not to Laugh

    Trump reignited one of his favorite grievances, and the Irish prime minister could barely stifle his laughter at the absurdity.

    Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin could barely keep a straight face as President Donald Trump launched a rant about one of his signature complaints: windmills.

    Hiberno-English word/phrase of the day:

    Craic

    The word ‘Craic’ can be used to describe something as ‘Fun’, for example, ‘Last night was some craic!’. You can also ask ‘What’s the craic/Any craic?’ as a greeting, which means ‘What’s going on?’ or ‘Any news/gossip?’.

    I was just checking our PeerTube. I searched for "John Brown's Body", and did find a video of the Pete Seeger rendition.

    PeerTube is the equivalent to YouTube on the Fediverse.

    Some years ago I decided to move away from proprietary social media options due to concerns about their increasing tracking and monetarisation of their platforms. So, I set up accounts in Diaspora, Friendica, Lemmy, and Mastodon.

    Diaspora was okay, but not much was happening there. I quite liked Friendica, but then the instance I was on suddenly pulled the plug. I liked Lemmy, but, unlike Reddit, there was no way to post videos.

    I like taking news videos and getting relevant unedited segments from them (interviews with left leaning politicians in Canada often aren't highlighted and, thus, can't be found elsewhere). So I thought PeerTube would be the answer. However, most of the instance servers baulked at the idea of posting an unedited clip from the news, feeling it's a grave copyright infringement. News is shocking, whereas if I made asinine videos (like, of me eating marbles or something), that would be okay.

    However, I did find one instance that would allow it, stating I could claim "fair use". But, usually after posting I'd have to wait a week for the moderators to approve it. And that instance lately is warning users that money constraints may have lead to its shutdown.

    It's too bad. I'd like to find a YouTube alternative.

    Hello Mastodon users, I'm working on migrating to a new instance since Med-Mastodon is shutting down.

    When I go to Account > Account Settings > Move to a Different Account, I enter my new Mastodon handle (with an "@" in front of it) and old account password, I'm getting error messages in the new handle and the password fields.

    I've tried resetting my password. I've tried a few times. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. I need to go to bed, but hope to receive ideas.

    If you've ever wondered what means, it's the logo of the Fediverse!

    There is no central authority to decide an official logo, but is by far the most commonly used logo and most widely accepted.

    The designer of the logo uploaded high quality versions of it to Wikimedia Commons:

    ➡https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg (colour)

    ➡https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal_(mono_version).svg (monochrome)

    Fediverse projects often use this as the basis for their own logos by tweaking it a bit.

    If you've recently joined the fediverse, and are maybe on a smaller server, things might feel a bit isolated.

    Fediverse does require a little more effort compared to traditional social media. This is where the community has really stepped in and created some great tools, like these bots that share trending posts from servers across the fediverse.

    Here are a few more tips and resources for filling up your home feed:
