@arjenlubach@mastodon.social Hüü het voelt heel gek om jullie op die plek te zien 😵💫 We zijn bijna klaar met de Britse versie bingen.
Ik ben heel benieuwd!

I have written a sample letter that you can use to invite organizations to join the #Fediverse.
The letter is shared under a #CC0 license. Feel free to copy, adapt and send it to organizations that still rely on #BigTech.
Thanks to @danie1@mastodon.nl for the English translation.

@arjenlubach@mastodon.social @peter_slwk@mastodon.social Dat lijkt me ook erg verstandig! Ik zag op YouTube een reactie van iemand die zoiets zei als, ja, Arjen is te lief, je moet een bepaald gezag hebben en een beetje een eikel zijn. Maar dan probeer je dus zoals Greg de Taskmaster te zijn, en dat lijkt me juist een beetje nep.
Dus ja, verstandig. Eigen pattas.
Hee hoe verhoudt Greg zich eigenlijk tot Tex, qua lengte?
A question to the Fediverse about that old favourite topic: federation!
I wrote this post on Pixelfed the other day: https://pixey.org/p/bammerlaan/978063577283062656
If I look at it through Mastodon, from this account, I think I see all of the replies. Among others, there's one from someone asking for details about zips and buttons, and someone asking where I got the sewing pattern. I replied to both of them using my Mastodon account. I then replied to one of my own replies with photos and more information.
If I look at the post from Pixelfed, though, I only see two replies. My first replies to them are visible, but not the follow-up reply with more pictures.
If I look at the original post of the person asking for the pattern (https://sh.itjust.works/comment/26164267) I notice that my reply to them isn't even shown. Looking at the post from Mbin, which I use, I also don't see all of the replies: https://thebrainbin.org/m/sewing@lemmy.world/p/780358
This is a problem, I'd say. It makes the Fediverse seem emptier than it is, let alone the fact that my reply doesn't seem to be visible even to the person I'm directly replying to. What's going on and what can be done to fix this?

De gasprijzen gaan door het dak en we hebben een watertekort. Toch stampen techmiljardairs als Elon Musk en Jeff Bezos stroomslurpende datacenters uit de grond.
⛔ We moeten nu de pauzeknop indrukken en de bouw van nieuwe datacenters stoppen!

@froztbyte@mastodon.social @liaizon@social.wake.st @dansup@mastodon.social I don't think this type of aggressive criticism will change anything. It certainly makes the discourse here a lot less pleasant.

@fedify@hackers.pub This sounds like an amazing piece of software! Far outside my wheelhouse, but I can imagine this makes it far easier to create new services for the Fediverse!

@SandraDeHaan@mastodon.nl @sanderturnhout@mastodon.green En zó frustrerend... En Nederlanders blijven die zooi maar verkiezen. En politiek als theater benaderen, precies zoals het in de media graag gepresenteerd wordt. Kop-in-het-zand-stekerij.

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Actually—what is the status of the Pixelfed app? It hasn't been updated since September and there's one particularly limiting bug where the "post" button falls off the screen when replying. That can't be very appealing to new Pixelfed users...
I'm trying to push people to the Fediverse and Pixelfed is one of the first platforms I always mention.

@moshidon@floss.social I've been seeing more activity on #Moshidon the last few days, with updates to the nightlies coming out quite frequently. Very exciting, I'm looking forward to see the new rebuilt version!
It's easily my favourite #Mastodon client, not in the least because of its hashtag-based timelines. I wrote a blog about it not so long ago: https://bammerlaan.nl/posts/Using-hashtags-Mastodon
Replying to
@TheJen@beige.party So pretty!
@_elena@mastodon.social *Very* frustrating that this is something that needs to be dispelled in the first place. The Fediverse should be the EU's primary social media platform. W Social is muddying the waters (and suggesting there aren't any European social networks at the moment is infuriating).
Replying to
@dansup@mastodon.social I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen to Pixelfed this summer, then! That call for bugs the other day was a good start, I imagine that could help with identifying the most pressing issues.

@SylvieLorxu Oh very cool! I use this app almost every day 🙏
Glad to see you on the #Fediverse

@jwildeboer I'm not crazy about them joining Bluesky instead, but hey. Let's not have perfect be the enemy of good, I suppose.
We'll have to see what happens when Bluesky inevitably ends up in the hands of Nazis as well... If it isn't there already.

@danie1 Perfect! We moeten met z'n allen ook @degoedezaak nog eens wat extra benaderen. Als je daar een petitie ondertekent krijg je ook alleen opties van Big Tech. Als zelfs de mensen achter https://makesocialssocialagain.nl/ de Fediverse negeren dan gaat er toch iets mis.

@KentNavalesi My feeling has always been that it's just not "cool" to care about digital stuff. Social media, the internet... it doesn't matter what evil entity is behind it, as long as it works (and in the case of social media, connects you to the most people).
Pragmatic apathy, basically. #fediverse
Replying to
@simplicitarian@cloudisland.nz That looks great!
Replying to
@evan@cosocial.ca So has there been any indication of one of these platforms switching to ActivityPub API?
Also, I tried looking up the answer myself on the Git repo, but I couldn't really find an easy answer—what would be the advantage of switching API? Does it expand the types of content different Fediverse accounts can show?
Replying to
@degoedezaak@mastodon.world Ik begrijp niet helemaal waarom de zelfcensuur voor het woord Nazi hier nodig is. Wie hopen we daarmee te beschermen?

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Oh, that's great to hear!
Replying to
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Man, so many comments to this positive news are so quick to point out that the EU should do much more and that this isn't good enough... I think this is a great step and it sets a good precedent.
I saw a straight up Nazi flag prominently displayed as a hot selling item when I looked at that site once. Not a good sign.
Replying to
@elena@aseachange.com Very cool! I still use a Nook Simple Touch, a very old device, but it runs an old Android version and still works fine, so I can install any* app on it I want 😁
*:The Android version is so old that most apps no longer work with it. But still, there's some freedom.

@RWSverkeersinfo@social.overheid.nl Vlak voor de oorlog was ik in Oekraïne voor een concert. Op weg naar Kiev zag ik dit heel veel... Ik heb echt te doen met mensen die moeten fietsen in landen zonder de infrastructuur daarvoor. 😥
Replying to
@anon98@infosec.exchange @helianthropy@tech.lgbt Hahaha, whoa there. This is the kind of response that would usually be considered a bit rude in English.
Also, in the world of Linux, old is not always bad. It can also mean stability and predictability.

@73ms@infosec.exchange That'd sure be interesting!

Replying to
@evan@cosocial.ca Oh! I did not realise that, my apologies. I did not mean to suggest something insane—I just don't have the knowledge here.
But, so, yes, what does adding the ActivityPub API add, then, is my question? 🫣 There's no real need to answer, of course, I was just wondering. I can also try a bit harder to figure it out myself.
