Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!
Is there a "I want #quotes in #Mastodon" button that I can hit somewhere?
Seriously, it's holding everything and everybody behind.
Context: I've decided to play with some tighter integration between my #Akkoma social feed and my #WriteFreely blog.
I can now write long posts in a more blog-friendly format on @fabio. Then leverage the Fediverse integration to quote them from my main handle.
My Akkoma post can add a TL;DR and a bunch of hashtags. And the quoted message has a nice "Read more" link that can expand the blog post for those who want to read it directly on their timeline.
Amazing, right?
Well, just look how nicely it's rendered on my Akkoma instance, and how Mastodon renders it instead.
A cryptic RE: https://my.write.freely/api/posts/post-id that doesn't even render a preview nor anything.
The cryptic version is the one that >75% of the people who use the Fediverse will see on their timelines.
No matter how much progress other implementations decide to do. No matter how sophisticated their UX. If the major implementation decides that quotes will never be a thing, we're kind of stuck in the state where JavaScript could do amazing things on Firefox, but most of the folks used IE, so the party was ruined for everybody else too.
@matrix@darnell Thanks for replying. As far as using tax payer funds to support #Matrix, I know that there would be massive resistance to this idea in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 (using taxes to fund anything long term is always controversial, regardless of the reason).
I do believe managed hosting would be a better option to support your foundation, which is a path that #WordPress, #WriteFreely & #Minds are using.
@dansup I believe a better option would be premium hosting. Basically allow users of #Pixelfed to host content under their own domain, & you could throw in the checkmark as a bonus. 😉
Similar to how @matt provides premium hosting to #WriteFreely via Write.as & @photomatt provides premium #WordPress hosting via WP.com (are there any other examples‽).
It would benefit the community plus encourage other hosts to take a second look at Pixelfed.
For federated comments on @write_as, I'm gonna start with just exposing Remark.as comments to the fediverse. This should at least get the basic data there, though you still won't receive replies from Mastodon etc.
Then I'll work on receiving replies from the wider fediverse, and finally moderation tools. We'll see how it looks with replies showing up in the Remark.as UI, and then maybe move to showing comments on blog posts themselves.
Made a bunch of progress on this today — now we're accepting and tracking the number of likes you get from the #fediverse on @write_as!
It's just not displayed anywhere. So that's the question — where do you want to see the number of likes you've received?
I know many people use #WriteFreely / Write.as to avoid likes and normal social media stuff. So should we just display the number on your stats page? Only to you on the post (e.g. next to "views")? Only in social spaces like Read.Write.as?
Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:
So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.
Note: I'm using #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.
Efter 4 blog-artikler er jeg stadigvæk glad for ideen om en blog bestående af arkiverede Mastodon-tråde.
WriteFreely er jeg derimod lidt mere i tvivl om, mere præcist integrationen med ActivityPub: Artikler bliver samlet i et feed og skubbet ud til følgere - ikke mere, ikke mindre. Hvis folk forsøger at interagere med en artikel, ryger det i et sort hul.
Den minimalistiske brugeroplevelse af WriteFreely som blog tiltaler mig, men som del af fediverset er det mig for fattigt.
As you might have heard, WordPress & Tumblr are supposedly in the process of opening up to the fediverse & ActivityPub. E.g. even now a WordPress admin like @evanprodromou can choose to publish their articles to be viewed directly in your Mastodon feed.
I'm going to be exploring this a lot in my video, so I'd love to know how people feel about it down in the comments. Excited? Ambivalent? Annoyed? Let me know! 👇
Also, here's a quick poll to check how familiar people are with this process.
Wow, I asked about #substack substitutes somewhat off-handedly, because I don't do blogs at all, but I think I'm going to set up a professional CV/updates page on https://writefreely.org/, having now looked into it.
More specifically, I'm hoping to install it on a #RaspberryPi 3B+ with #Debian Bookworm.
Jakiś czas temu napisałem na @mstankiewicz wpis na temat aplikacji #WriteFreely. Dosłownie przed chwilą dowiedziałem się, że wyszła nowa wersja programu o numerze 6, a w związku z tym przez cały tydzień trwa promocja na to oprogramowanie — -40%!
Podrzucam Wam linka do promocji: https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper/mw640
#niesponsorowane, ale wspomnę, że kilka miesięcy temu otrzymałem darmową licencję Pro na oprogramowanie, jednak nie ma to żadnego wpływu na pojawienie się tego posta czy moje opinie na temat aplikacji.
So I've decided to start that #blog I was pondering a couple of weeks ago. I'm probably going to go with #WriteFreely due to it being #Foss, #Federated and #SelfHosted. Unfortunately, not the simplest thing to set up from the #Docker image available (I think I should be able to tweak the Dockerfile to fix that though)
Tydzień temu minął dokładnie rok, odkąd jestem na #Fediverse. Wow.
Pamiętam jak pierwszy raz przeczytałem o Mastodonie na jednym z popularnych polskich portali. Traktowałem go wtedy jako ciekawostkę, a nie jak moje przyszłe główne medium społecznościowe, które (według statystyk na moich sprzętach) używam o 83% częściej niż #Facebook i dzięki któremu stworzyłem i uczestniczyłem w kilku ciekawych projektach.
Gdyby nie #Mastodon, nie wiedziałbym czym jest #Fediversum, nie korzystałbym z /kbin-a od @ernest, a co za tym idzie nie stworzyłbym też #BetterKbin! Zapewne nie używałbym też #NCH.pl i innych usług od @ftdl, nie przywróciłbym wraz z Wiktorem do życia @cesarstwokwadratowe, nie kontynuowałbym podcastu, nie założyłbym bloga na #WriteFreely, nie zacząłbym uczyć się tworzyć rozszerzenia do przeglądarek, nie zrezygnowałbym z używania #Google i #YouTube ani nie poznał tylu wspaniałych ludzi!
Dziękuję Wam!

Hallo Fediverse! Bitte um Rückmeldung + Ergänzungen: Übersichts-Tabelle mit Fediverse-Diensten, Vergleichsdiensten und Funktionen
Ich schreibe einen Artikel über den #FediverseFachtag und in dem Rahmen natürlich auch über das #Fediverse . Zielgruppe sind Leute, die wahrscheinlich zum Großteil noch gar nix vom Fediverse gehört haben.
Dazu bin ich dabei, eine Tabelle zu erstellen, in der einige Fedi-Dienste sowie deren Haupt-/ besondere Funktionen aufgeführt werden sollen.
Das ist der derzeitige Entwurf:
"ähnlich wie..."
Ein Vergleich mit kommerziellen Plattformen ist natürlich immer nur zum Teil passend. Ich kenne auch keinen der kommerziellen Dienste aus eigener Erfahrung, aber für die avisierte Zielgruppe kann so ein Vergleich vielleicht trotzdem eine hilfreiche Orientierung sein. Vielleicht gibt es da aber auch Vergleiche, die passender sind. Einige Dienste (bspw. Medium, Podigee) kannte ich auch noch nicht mal vom Namen her, sondern habe das nur aus ähnlichen Vergleichstabellen übernommen.
Zu den "besonderen Funktionen":
Insbesondere Friendica, Firefish und v.a. Hubzilla haben so viele Funktionen, dass diese im Rahmen der Tabelle nur exemplarisch aufgeführt werden können und die Auswahl ist subjektiv. Hier wäre die Frage, ob das eine passende Auswahl ist, ob besonders wichtige fehlen oder ob andere Funktionen wichtiger oder besonderer sind.
Wenn Ihr also Anregungen oder Ergänzungen habt, gerne her damit! Danke!
I've heard reports that users on #Lemmy aren't able to interact with #WriteFreely blogs. Can anyone help test / verify that something is up so we can fix?
#Mastodon, by the way, isn't vulnerable to this attack, thanks to having the X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy headers. Many other fedi platforms however, including #Pixelfed, #Firefish and #Writefreely don't have them, at least when I tested.
I seem to be having #federation problems between my #Firefish server and #PeerTube & #WriteFreely servers. Firefish.social seems to have this problem too. It works fine following #Wordpress on the #Fediverse though and #Mastodon servers have no trouble following any of them. Do other fediverse servers have issues like this? Is this a quirk in #ActivityPub. Genuinely curious because I don't code. My sysadmin knowledge fails me here.
In a few weeks @w3c social web community group meeting may receive a proposal to explore chartering new social web working group that would only be open to people who work at W3C member companies. (The CG is open to all). Today there was an in person discussion at TPAC, the yearly W3C-wide f2f. It was a day-of addition to the agenda. Now is a good time to join the CG, subscribe to mailing list, and start participating in the discussions. https://www.w3.org/community/SocialCG/#vote#activitypub
It mentions one of the reasons people who create content — whether that content be articles, videos, posts, or whatever — join big social-media platforms.
The answer — to reach and grow an audience.

I discovered this, too, when I was researching why people used YouTube & other social-media. Although with YouTube there were some additional reasons, too
