Just moved from fosstodon to fediscience.
This is the third time I've moved #Mastodon instances! I've never wanted to move, but there have been compelling reasons each time.
I am always impressed at how seamless it has been every time I have moved instances.
My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host
https://mikecoats.com/migrating-to-masto-host/
I migrated my Mastodon server from a self-hosted DigitalOcean droplet to an instance provided by Masto.host. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour.
Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Möchte allen danken, die sich in den letzten Jahren im #Fediversum bloggend eingebracht haben. Ob #Mikroblogging auf #Mastodon oder Drukos zu #Blogposts, eigene #Blogs - die Zukunft gehört dem freien Netz statt irgendeinem Datenkonzern. Habe große Accounts auf #Facebook, #Insta, X hinter mir gelassen - und es nicht bereut. Danke, sehr! 🙏🤓📚🌈 #Wissenschaft #Dialog #Demokratie #KIFediversum https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/vom-bloggen-vloggen-das-ki-fediversum-durchbricht-auch-sprachgrenzen/

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!
Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!
The Services
Mastodon
Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!
PeerTube
The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!
WriteFreely
We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.
The Rules
We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.
We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.
In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.
Legal Status
All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.
Further Reading
We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail:

There isn't much of a presence for #mutualaid that I've seen on #Mastodon
There are others who post their needs here, but there's not a sense of #community
On #Instagram, #Threads & #Bluesky, there's a network of people sharing and supporting for each other
There's a sense of community without it being assumed it's simply about funds being sent
Of course funds can't come from nowhere
But here is the problem with this platform...

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse
I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.
ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.
I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: https://github.com/tryvocalcat/activitypub-badges
Who wants a badge of early adopter?

Will the last small site turn off the lights?
The UK Online Safety Act imposes the same duties and penalties on blogs, forums and fedi instances as huge platforms.
Many small, safely moderated sites will shut down or block UK users.
Crushing competition is the last thing we need for a safer Internet!
Act now before 17 March ⬇️

A couple of years back I wrote a blog post about linking my static blog posts to Mastodon threads so that the threads can serve as blog comments.
I realise I never pinned that post to my profile, and I have since deleted the Mastodon thread, so I'm sharing it again. I'm pinning it this time!
While I was lying in the hammock yesterday (clicking on my iPhone), I started thinking about the current state of the "Twitter diaspora", the cross-posting, bridging and separation… and I ended up with this blog post 😅
TLDR: let's try to settle on the open networks, Bluesky & Fedi, let's connect them well, and let's move away from Twitter.
