I genuinely need someone to help me with LinkedIn. I am trying to send a message to someone who worked on an old Amiga software, but the messanger won't let me send it. LinkedIn is being stupid with its accessibility overlay and I don't know what to do. Can someone help?
#help #Amiga #amiga #Fedi

for projects that have a presence here in the fediverse quite often people think it is a good idea to mention them when wanting to refer to them instead of using their hastag, ex. mentioning @arcanechat instead of using #ArcaneChat hastag to refer to the app

this makes it very hard for people interested in following the topic, since appealing to common sense is too much to ask from the masses it would be nice if #mastodon allowed to follow also mentions, that is, besides following #hastags to also be able to follow any post containing a certain mention

#TIL there's a Lwaxana Troi account on #fedi, and she's utterly marvelous.

Lol don't you dare, why do you think I'm on #Fedi but to enjoy fringe techy projects and hear really bad jokes?!? XD

@hollie

The incredibly innocent #hashtags I see on #fedi give me hope for humanity. :)

@etloo is yet another #FollowRequestSpam #Bot & #BanEvasion Account like the previous ones I already reported.

I'm adding social.earningenterprises.com to my public domain blocklist [ https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/activitypub.domains.block.list.tsv ] due to the fact that it has neither rules nor an admin contact specified on it's about page [ https://social.earningenterprises.com/about ] and is actively preventing people from contacting the moderators.

People crapping all over #Mozilla for having an X account now, yet I see #fedipeeps with X account links on their bios, #FOSS projects with X links on their homepages...

I despise X and Musk, but maybe be a little more consistent.

And I have publicly rebuked FOSS projects on #fedi for having X account links on their homepages, asking them just what Musk would have to do to get them to delete it.

If you're gonna go scorched earth, be consistent with it, otherwise it's just sparkling douchebaggery.

Like, if the Linux distro you use has an X or Meta account (and many of them do), but you haven't said anything about that... BRUH.

Three hours to live #discussion with #FSF #gopher @bandali on #lispyGopherClimate !
https://toobnix.org/w/wQJ63Utsw2SN16Bhh5f2iT

0UTC Wednesday (Tuesday night in the Americas)

I am not accepting to treat bandali as a stallman effigy.

We *will* talk about human #emacs (anti #ai faction).

We are promoting awareness of bandali's new personal #snac #fedi instance (thanks @grunfink ), if you could follow / boost to that avail.

The year is 2025. Social is entirely occupied by Enshittified Corporate Goons. Well, not entirely. One small decentralized platform of indomitable nerds still holds out against the invaders....

The opening page from ASTERIX comic books. A map of ancient Gaul, with a magnifier over north-west France - showing the Gaulish village surrounded by Roman camps. Here the village is crossed out and says The Fedi.

Alt...

the cover from ASTERIX and the Great Crossing - a small ship is in heavy seas with Asterix peering over the bow, a defiant Obelix with arms crossed, and tiny Dogmatix (a dog) at the side of Asterix. Here the ship has the fediverse logo on the hull.

Is it just me/the instance I'm on, or does #Loops not properly federate with #GoToSocial at all?

I can see and share my Loops videos from #GtS, but replies and follows from GtS aren't seen on Loops.

When you write #fedi software, please, please test with more than just Mastodon.

Update: Already implemented on #Mastodon, partially implemented on #GtS: https://chaos.social/@nordern/116857153076615091

There seriously needs to be a way to say "Show me my toots from 2026-05-02" or whatever on #fedi.

Paging down through pages and pages of results feels silly, and is an unwarranted tax on the server.

@82mhz @steeph @daj @stefano

#Glitch does have that, and many other great features (like Markdown support), but there's a reason why it's called Glitch ;)

I will add the criticism that #Mastodon by and large gets to unilaterally decide what #fedi looks like by fiat. No discussion, and not a whole lot of caring about the AP spec itself, from what I'm hearing.

@nathanu

> P.S. Lord does it suck to share links on #Mastodon. Markdown syntax support when?

On vanilla Mastodon, probably never. But there are plenty of other great options that support longer toots and full Markdown:

• Gitch Social (Mastodon fork)
• GoToSocial (somewhat minimalist #fedi server, which the instance I'm on is running)
• snac (very minimalist fedi server, see https://snac.bsd.cafe)

I don't have any Glitch instance recommendations offhand, unfortunately. I can dig through my files for one if you'd like, or you can try looking online.

@dillyd

The fact that "thick trunk" is a totally innocent meme on #Fedi is reason number $RANDOM why I absolutely adore this place.

@N3VEM

Folks sharing pics of their little ones on #fedi makes my heart swell with hope.

@jmeowmeow

Feel free to follow me for inane chatter and the spiciest of takes 😆

You can also check out my blog (RSS enabled!) -- https://rldane.space/

Any major announcements will definitely be found there.

I'm wanting to build something for #fedi folk to be able to share knowledge in a fun and informal way, so hopefully I'll have something to announce in a month or so. :)

@jmeowmeow @cobweb

Thanks for this!

I've put the project on the backburner for now, as my daily #Junited posts are taking up most of my free time, but I'm thinking about maybe using an existing forum if someone wants to host it, or just keeping it purely on #Fedi.

Reasons why I love Mastodon:

1. I can ask help for stuff I know nothing about and some expert somewhere will be like "I know I know!!!" And I get good information.
2. People also have useful links I can't find myself.
3. People will literally GO TAKE A PHOTO FOR YOU for reference if you ask, and are so damb nice about it that my heart grows three sizes. <3
4. So much lovely HUMAN MADE art. :D
5. Blocking seems to work really well.
Etc.

For the people that think #Mastodon and other social web sites are “ healthier” would love to know your thoughts on this https://www.davideaversa.it/blog/problem-mastodon-fediverse/ #fediverse #fedi #opensocialweb

Fediverse is peppered with #cringy, delusional, self-hating twitposting. Some people's feeds read like a suicide letter demanding everyone else to commit suicide with them. Some twitfeeds exude the vibes of an assassin's hit list. Some twitfeeds smell like authoritarian extermination orders. Their toxic feeds should come with a Mister Yuk sticker.

Twitposter feeds run devoid of brotherly love and full of animosity towards things they don't understand. These twitposters seek to blame and punish innocent people for their perceived slights or suffering rather than helping others through their own suffering.

Twitposters try to classify and demonize others instead of viewing others as individual humans with their own individual destinies.

With this collectivist hateview of others, they concoct a delusional view of reality that justifies any oppression or atrocity toward the 'enemy' they have concocted, and often that enemy is the self.
