He's developing three important Fediverse projects:

1. @pixelfed
2. fedidb.org
3. fediverse.info

All these tools are critical to the future of the Fediverse.

In particular, #Pixelfed will be released on iOS and Android by the end of the month -- which will give people who use #Instagram an easy way to migrate to the Fediverse.

Dan does a lot! Let's show him appreciation and love!

Calckey on Yunohost does not allow importing follows/followers etc.


I just recently installed #calckey on my #yunohost, but unfortunately I am not able to import my follows.

After a conversation with @Bernard Marx it seems that he's experiencing the same, with the only difference being that he's running an arm server and mine is an old PC.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Rad things about mastodon we take for granted

CW - these are amazing

Editing posts - hard to go back once you taste this

Alt text as the norm - total community enforcement

Replies - option to delist them so we don’t clog the feed

Timeline curating - we have near infinite timeline options with filters, lists, local, federated, hashtags etc

Muting - we can choose a time period!

Character count - 500 let’s you get an effing thought out

Ownership - we can own the damn thing ourselves

I’m not a tech person and never really thought about ANY of this prior to Elon musk buying twitter a year ago, but popping onto baby bluesky has highlighted for me just how dynamic and mature mastodon actually is. It gets a LOT of criticism and omission from mainstream journos, but the reality is that mastodon is a fascinating and very user friendly global group project, and deserves some credit for what it has, not just (appropriate and important) criticism of what it lacks

All that said, I’d love to see masto continue to evolve in ways that make joining (and starting instances) much easier for regular people, BIPOC and people who don’t enjoy thinking about tech features! Would also love to see quicker adoption of features people are calling for, like opt-in quote toots.

Also, more humility & dialogue pls on how to make the fedi mirror the demographics of our planet: more ownership and participation from the global south, more BIPOC leadership and participation

Sounds efficient ?

Not everyone is happy about it

The reaction of Yair #Lapid, the former prime minister of the Israeli government, to the de-esclation agreement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia

Lapid: "The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran is a complete and dangerous failure of the Israeli government's foreign policy."

Just finished reading/listening to "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler.

I was surprised how applicable to today it sounded despite being written pre-WWII. Same playbook I suppose.

Good listen and pretty short, too.

I think I saw it discussed somewhere on NA Social recently so thanks to whomever posted about it. 👍
