📚 Mastodon History

Back in February 23rd, 2016 — Mastodon first described itself as:

“Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project.”

The history of Mastodon is tied to GNU Social.

Mastodon

Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project. Based on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon.

The core ideals of this project are:

• Independence of legacy Twitter APIs - we don't want to be compatible with Twitter clients, we want our own clients
• In that vein, a strong and clean REST API and OAuth2
• Minimalism. Just because you can do almost anything with ActivityStreams doesn't mean you should. Limit the set of possible functions to what makes sense in a microblogging engine. This will make federation as well as UI design a lot easier
• Ease of deployment. The end-goal of this project is to be distributable as a Docker image.

Current status of the project is early development. Documentation, licensing information &co will be added later

New: Last Week in #fediverse - ep 97

This week's news:
- A New Social is a new non-profit for bridging platforms and protocols, and will take on the governance of Bridgy Fed
- @peertube released #PeerTube v7, their yearly update with a complete redesign
- The organisation behind #Mastodon app Mammoth and @subclub shuts down due to a lack of funding, as Mozilla has shut down their fediverse investment

I was feeling inspired after listening to this podcast. https://flipboard.video/w/sQCNmXx332xi3Y3dVVjd37 So I decided to have a go at visualising “What a Social Web Browser could look like in the near future” This is my 2nd Mock up. This time I have added a few notes.
-  Ignoring the design, what other features/services do you think should be integrated the Social Web in the coming years?

Can someone who knows more about how Mastodon/the fediverse works help me understand something?

I've seen this happen with a few accounts now where I'd be trying to search for a post by its URL and it would not show up on some servers, but it would on others. I'd think these accounts might've been suspended, but the accounts themselves are found, and so are some of their older posts. I'd expect a suspended account not to show up at all, but maybe this is how it works?

If you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.

Let it snow! ❄️

I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.

Here's the source code for server admins: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon/commit/9bf1563af50842a5f61b34b7cc095fb746e5d15b#diff-5fcd1b6168ec33e0eff0a05fcdeacfab68e261215bbdb719be6b3526173be770

Not many people know this, but Mastodon has a built-in official post scheduling system which can publish posts at pre-arranged times and dates.

Unfortunately there's no official interface for the scheduler yet, so you have to use a third party app to access the scheduler. These third party apps let you use it:

Android: Tusky, Fedilab, Moshidon & Subway Tooter

iPhone/iPad: Mona

🌐 Web: https://plan.fedilab.app

It's been fun on Sharkey, but as previously stated, Mastodon feels more like home, and I am moving to Sakurajima dot Moe.

@Sujiyan @DavidBHimself @syuilo As far as I can tell, all three of your instances are on the ban list by #Threads: https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers

👉🏾 Mastodon Cloud (https://mastodon.cloud)
👉🏾 Pawoo (https://pawoo.net)
👉🏾 MSTDN Japan (https://mstdn.jp)

Previously the flagship instances of #Misskey (https://misskey.io) & #Mastodon (https://mastodon.social) were banned, but after many of us brought it to #Meta’s attention they removed them from the list.

Best thing I've ever done to improve my #mastodon experience was build a list of academics. Whenever I need a better grounded, informed, or educational experience I always know where to go.

I'm reading that Meta's social networks are experiencing accessibility issues across Europe.
The Fediverse is open for (not) business, as usual.

Long live decentralization!

For some strange reason, I've discovered that my profile picture isn't visible to users on the bsd.network instance. There are no issues from other instances, so I'm looking into it. If anyone on other instances can’t see my picture, please let me know so I can investigate further. Thanks!
