Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"
I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @tchambers

How is the #fediverse doing? If you wanted to support a community using #free and #federated software, what would you use? A #mastodon instance? Something else?
@harld Could we please add
@element
For instant Messaging apps, as an alternative to Whatsapp, Signal etc..
It should have a Non-US ( #Element is based in UK), and a Privacy label.
Also, it is #opensource and #federated
Although many people are flocking to #signal now (which is a lot better then Whatsapp), Signal can not be controlled by US government, it can be taken down by them. At this point, even that should be taken into account.
Element uses the #Matrix protocol. It is awsum

@elduvelle #Signal is #centralized - just like #Twitter, #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Threema, etc - and therefore exactly as vulnerable to #enshittification. Its popularity also makes it a tempting target for backdoors.
I urge people to use #XMPP instead, which is #federated like the Fediverse and has no single point of failure. It uses the same end-to-end encryption algorithm as Signal.

Senne, a video producer, has joined Exquisite.tube and just uploaded their first music video: Funky Tears :: WZA - take a look and give it a listen, I think it is fantastic.
The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.
With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

this ~9ft trunk circumference poplar #tree was cut down nov 2023; its approximate age was: 150-250 years. It might have been around when #Canada was #federated? #ConFederated! )
@chris
We need a method for #federated (though not necessarily #ActivityPub) GPX sharing that can be integrated into popular #OpenStreetMap mapping apps!
Posting and pinning this because Soatok's misinformation has infected far too many. *Everyone* needs to read this in its entirety, *especially* all the #Signal Kool-Aid drinkers.

*And* the response from OMEMO author Tim Henke, which Soatok saw fit to redact from their post comments.

what #spotify #alternatives are out there? specifically looking for something #federated like #funkwhale, but i’m getting the feeling it won’t really replace my music discovery itch. i’d love something that has a baseline catalog of some music that i already listen to/want to listen to, and i can’t seem to find a good way to find pods. would love something advice, i hate indirectly giving my money to rogan and tate
Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.
A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.
Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse
So I came up with this idea of cheap, #federated social network based only on emails.
It works kind of like a #mailing list with small change that all lists are federated and web apps capture their content which is merged together.
FUUUUUUUUUCK, setting up #procmail, #mailhog and all other shit to test it is like walking through PinkPop on molly during Electic Callboy performence.
WHY?! Why it's sooo hard to setup email correctly.
That feeling, when you finally get rid of...

Microsoft
FB/Insta/Whatsapp
Twitter 
Spotify

I'm for making #Tweet the new Kleenex/Hovercraft/Thermos of the #federated world for 'text posting', just to piss off the man who tried to excise the term from our culture.
Hats off to all the #cooperatives and #federated folks doing cool things right now to address some of what’s mentioned in this article.

2) I found a searxng instance I wanted to use:
https://searx.space/
3) I added it as a new option in my Firefox for the default search engine:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine
And now I can have the searxng of my choice set as my default search engine.

As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.
I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).
1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:
