Fediverse§

[[go]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
- [[quote]] The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "[[federation]]" and "[[universe]]") is an ensemble of [[federated]] (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. [[social networking]], [[microblogging]], [[blogging]], or [[websites]]) and file hosting, but which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other. On different servers (instances), users can create so-called [[identities]]. These identities are able to communicate over the boundaries of the instances because the software running on the servers supports one or more [[communication protocols]] which follow an open standard.
The [[agora]] tries to be a prosocial member of the fediverse.
- It will implement [[activitypub]] or whichever open protocol is necessary.
- It will offer up [[agora protocol]] to the ecosystem or whichever open protocol is useful to others.
[[platforms]]
- [[pull]] [[mastodon]] [[friendica]] [[diaspora]] [[peertube]]

I use [[mastodon]] through the [[tusky]], [[pinafore]] and [[social.coop]] interfaces.
I’m interested in learning more about [[pleroma]].
I wonder if the [[fediverse]] name can work for a wide audience: https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1350582002454388737
I think the [[fediverse]] has legs: https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1350436019414319145

Fediverse is a decentralized social network, consisting of numerous instances running different software, all compatible with each other to some degree.

Some software are more compatible with each other: Mastodon and Pleroma both implement a similar model, id est microblogging, thus they federate nicely. Some are more different, like my Betula.

Currently, Fediverse is the go-to social network in these layers of the infosphere.

Active personal accounts

https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw is my main presence. Follow for mostly English posts and boosts. This is also the best way to contact me publicly.
- This instance is running Hometown, which is a fork of Mastodon, optimized for communities. Indeed there is a sense of a community here on Merveilles!
Two Betula instances:
- One for my bookmarks (a lot of them): https://links.bouncepaw.com @bouncepaw@links.bouncepaw.com
- One for announces of new posts elsewhere: https://feed.bouncepaw.com @bouncepaw@feed.bouncepaw.com

Project accounts

https://fosstodon.org/@betula for Betula.
https://floss.social/@mycorrhiza for Mycorrhiza.

Gone.

Before Merveilles, I was on LOR: ~~https://lor.sh/@bouncepaw~~. Devine Lu Linvega invited me to Merveilles, and some time afterwards I migrated. I fit there better. A few years later, LOR went offline.
Had an account on Pixelfed dot social to post art. Pixelfed didn't impress me, then I basically stopped drawing, and a long time after that I deleted it.
There was a secret Friendica account with a very pompous name. Perhaps it still exists. It was actually my first attempt with Fediverse.

- I’m surprised there seems to be very scant [[error reporting]] in the #Fediverse (meaning ActivityPub). I expected ‘wrong’/misshapen activities to result in some kind of error reporting activity coming back to the source, but nope. Mastodon at least seems to just accept the activity and drop it silently in the floor later (unless you have access to its logs, which you don’t for the vast majority of instances out there).
  Does anyone out there do better?

  Is there a #Fediverse client that doesn’t suck for writing threads? Meaning facilitating writing longer form writing even within the limitations of the the micropost format; letting you shape a thread first, edit it and then post it as a whole
[[2024-08-11 14:08:26+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):
- I went to boost a post, having forgotten which social platform I was in (sometimes with the different clients it takes me a minute to remember if I’m in the Fediverse, or in Bluesky (which will join the Fediverse fully soon), or in X (which doesn’t have plans to IIUC).)
  I saw this in the UI and I thought: cool, I can [[quote post]], like in a platform that fully makes sense to me. it turns out this was in #X. You can’t widely perform this action today in the #Fediverse, and that gives me pause.
[[2024-08-16 20:17:34+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):

[[2024-08-29 09:30:47+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):
- Because of this kind of thing a #Fediverse friendly schism seems likely. There will always be people who want to be more liberal than that (in what they accept, what they produce, what they try in their instances, what they can assume while experimenting). So having two Fediverse modes, one based around opt-in federation and one based (as currently) on opt-out, makes sense to me.
  We should plan for this and do it right to ensure that the Fediverse remains healthy even as it “forks” in this way.

📜 File wiki/Computer-Science/Software/Social Software/Federated Social Software - Fediverse.md by @jaysen ☆ 📎 ️🔗

The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is a decentralised network of independent social media servers and websites that can talk to one another.

Instead of a single company owning and controlling a massive platform like X, Facebook, or Instagram, the Fediverse works much like email: you can have an account on one server and still follow, message, or interact with people on entirely different servers

How It Works§

• Shared Protocols: Different platforms communicate using open web standards, most notably ActivityPub] (a W3C standard). • User Handles: Fediverse usernames look similar to email addresses (e.g., @username@servername.com), letting you cross server boundaries. • No Central Authority: No single corporation runs the network. Individual servers "instances") are hosted and moderated by separate people, communities, or organisations with their own local rules. If a server misbehaves or hosts spam, other servers can "defederate" (cut off communication) with it.

Popular Fediverse Platforms§

Different apps focus on different types of media, all while remaining interoperable: • Microblogging: Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, GoToSocial (alternatives to X / Twitter) • Image Sharing: Pixelfed (alternative to Instagram) • Video Sharing: PeerTube (alternative to YouTube), Loops (alternative to TikTok) • Social News / Discussion: Lemmy, Mbin (alternatives to Reddit) • Long-form / Blogging: WordPress (with ActivityPub plugins), Ghost • Corporate Integration: Meta’s Threads allows public user profiles to connect and share into the broader Fediverse via ActivityPub.

Key Benefits§

• No Algorithms & Ads: Most spaces feature chronological timelines free from corporate surveillance or ad tracking. • Portability: You own your data and follower graphs; you can often migrate your account to a different server if you dislike your current host. • Custom Moderation: Communities set their own standards rather than relying on one top-down corporate policy.

- I (re-) read [[adventures in mastoland]] and I can recommend it: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html
  My main takeaway is still that I personally would prefer to be part of a Fediverse where opt-out is considered sufficient as a model for experiments, but I also recognize that there is room for a part of the Fediverse where opt-in is the model followed for people who want to be more conservative.
  How to achieve this without [[forking the Fediverse]]?
