soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Het gaat goed. Hier geven we de toekomst van sociale media vorm, die toekomst begint vandaag! De #fediverse is van niemand. Er is geen eigenaar die ons de wet voorschrijft. Uiteraard dien je je wel netjes aan de regels van je 'instance' (server) te houden en aan de (Nederlandse) wet, maar dat spreekt natuurlijk voor zich. De beheerders, administrators en moderators, van de 'instances' (servers) zien toe en de nadruk ligt daarbij op de vrijheid van meningsuiting en fatsoen.

Das Join #Fediverse Wiki ist eine Wikipedia ähnliche Enzyklopädie mit 350 Artikeln über das Fediverse!
Fedi-was? Fediverse!
Das ist das coole alternative Social Media System, das unabhängig von globalen Konzernen ist und dir die volle Kontrolle über deine Daten und Medien gibt.
Klingt gut? Dann lass uns eine Reise durch das föderierte Universum machen!

I am so old that I remember the world wide web being born. It was great back in the day.
I also remember the tipping point. In my opinion it was around 1996/1997.
After that it has been on a downward spiral with ever growing speed. Only to land on this cesspool that we experience today.
Fediverse is, at least for me, an oasis in the middle of a landfill. A shining star in the dark, deserted dystopian hellspace.
Let's keep it shining the light.
(Yes. I did try to use the web for research today. That went down in flames.)
@pixelfed I'm sorry to have to be brutally honest here, but:
We have people coming in to loops.video, you're calling it #fediverse, they're calling it fedi, you running ads that it's fedi, but it's not proper federated.
If you say things like that, we are going to lose the one chance to show people what it means!
There's not going to be another chance. Say that you're working on the federation at least?
We need to get this right the first time. There's not going to another chance!! 🙏

Meine Beherrschung habe ich wohl verloren.
Es geht um den Account @Bundesregierung, dem ich seit einigen Wochen folge, vermutlich aus denselben Gründen wie die anderen Follower auch: Man erhofft sich Informationen und Dialog, zumal das ja in der Selbstbeschreibung steht:
Herzlich willkommen auf dem offiziellen Mastodon-Account der Bundesregierung. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit euch!
Also bitte. Für die Demokratie!

yup
we are on #mastodon/ #fediverse because the profit motive in corporate #socialMedia means privacy defilement, free reign for bigotry/ ignorance, and #algorithm manipulation by #plutocracy agendas
the same applies to the #news #media:
#ventureCapital takes over dying traditional media outlets and puts right wing goons in the managing editor positions
we have nonprofit news (#NPR, #ProPublica, #TheGuardian, etc)
trust them
all else: beware

SOCIAL-MEDIA-ALTERNATIVE #FEDIVERSE
For all newcomers to the Fediverse #DID
The Join #Fediverse Wiki is a Wikipedia-style encyclopedia with 475 articles dedicated to all things Fediverse!
Fedi-what? Fediverse!
It's that cool alternative social media system, that's independent of global corporations and giving you full control over your data and media.
Sounds cool? Then let's make a journey through the federated universe.
@pixelfed Hi! Good momentum with loops.video!
When boosts? When can we have the famous all people-powered algorithm? 🙂
If I press: "open in Webbrowser" to see the conversation and not only the post, then it will go to some /ap/ endpoint that is 404.
I think that was not always the case, but maybe I misremember it.
@grunfink@comam.es
I notice that the /people/ section of snac gives broken links to follower and followee profiles.
For instance entries for mastodon users are like this:
https://mastodon.social/ap/users/253190229248136435
Which appears to be an API endpoint rather than a web link. Links like this lead to a not found page.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the instance mastodon.social is 30% of the entire #Fediverse. If it ever goes down for any reason, a huge chunk of the Fediverse will go down.
It defeats the purpose of having a fully decentralized network if most people pile into a single instance.

The orange site shared this link, telnet.org which has a list of servers to which you can connect over Telnet. (Warning: these are always unencrypted connections).
If you want a Telnet-like experience but over a secure #TLS connection (e.g. using an #SSH client), check out the “Tildeverse,” https://tildeverse.org/ , a list of public-access servers with SSH login. It is like the #Fediverse but using TLS rather than the #ActivityPub protocol. The obvious drawback is that you need to know how to use a command line, but I doubt that would bother most Fediverse dwellers.
@screwlisp I didn’t see https://lambda.moo.mud.org at all in this list of Telnet logins. We may need to do something about that.

As usual, you are posting such big-mouthed rants against #X and #Grok exclusively here on the #Fediverse, but keep your mouth shut on your X account.
You're just pathetic cowards, fooling no one anymore.
