>>79675036>fed-iverse>logo is literally a pentagramI'll pass

my reason is that social media is a cancer.
suggest one app for it other than Tusky?

>>79676025Wrong>>79676166It works by having a bunch of servers that can all interact with each other. You can even run your own, so you can't get banned

>>79675036i just discovered it yesterdayi made a thread about it (with mastodon pic)i honestly seem to be perfect user for such obscure autism network but i cant make myself actually to create accountcant find a reason to use iti feel i will get overwhelmed with all the posts and users and instancesalso i dont have money to buy hosting for my instance
>>79675036Use what?
>>79679966Pleroma can run on rpi, dont you have one lying around?
>>79680047nopeand even if i did whats the use in this casewhy cant i use my pc
>>79678696>can't get bannedNot exactly true, you can be "banned"... but only by some instance's admin which would vanish you only from his and his users' sight. There's no central authority so other instance admins decide whom to ban (if at all) on their own.
>>79675036Seething trannies.They almost grew a new dick out of their asses when gab moved to mastodon.
>>79680113lol and what if you created account on that instancethey can delete your account because it is stored on THEIR instancethis whole shit is decentralized in a way "we dont use one instance like facebook or twitter we use many facebooks and twitters who are interconnected"
>>79680084Because you'd want to have the instance running and processing data live.>>79680133Free speech oriented shitposters and ironic lolicon weebs were there before the trannies. Those pockets still remain even if most of their instances migrated from GNU Social to Pleroma by now.>>79680146Self-host, pleroma runs well on a RPi. That's the final solution, be your own master.
>>79680171>Self-hostthats like actually not buyng some shared hosting but instead doing it from homeisnt that complicated shit that i even have to contact my ISP ?
>>79675036I don't use social media. I would use it if I did, however.
>>79675036open source social media is still social mediainstant gratification and overstimulation are still encouraged
>>79675265i'm noti come here when i'm bored or if i need an answer to an incredibly niche question, i don't actually care about the site
>>79676019fediverse is a colloquial term for ActivityPub, which is an open standard for social media software to interconnect. Practically, it means a network of arbitrary websites running different frontends (examples include mastadon, pleroma, friendica, gab, and pixelfed) can collect data from each other and present it correctly to all of their users, even if the users have only visited a single website in the fediverse. Or another explanation: you can host your own social media website and it will interact with other users on their own websites
Someone explain how the fuck mastodon worksIt clearly says I can follow people on ANY Mastodon server, and yet I made a mstdn.social account and I can only log into mstdn.social, no other server will let me log into it without a new account specific to that server
>>79675320But why a 64 Chevelle? Weren't they considered too small/european back then?
>>79678952zeronet is a fed honeypot by design, as it allows websites to serve you arbitrary information, causes you to serve that information to other users whole, and does not encrypt any of it. any website that took the fancy could host CP in the background of its homepage and you'd end up distributing that.The better solution is Freenet, which is encrypted, serves only chunks of files rather than whole files, and does not rely on "has this user visited the site" to host chunks. This gives the entire system a level of plausible deniability, as you cannot know what you are serving and neither can anybody else.
>>79680411You can still follow people on other servers
>>79677681What's wrong with Tusky?
>>79677681https://alternativeto.net/software/fediverse/
>>79680457No I can't
>>79680411It's like an email, you have your email address on one provider and thats where you log in but still you are able to communicate with ppl what have their email addresses elsewhere
>>79680532are you looking up a server that the kikes at mastadon blocked from their instance for not kowtowing to globalist alphabet-people cancel culture?
>>79680502They put a hardcoded block on logging into Gab once they switched to mastodon.
>>79680239Unless you're self-hosting an instance that has thousands of members, your bandwidth requirements aren't going to hit "contact my ISP" levels.
>>79680561I don't know. It's baraag.net, I'm trying to follow some porn artists
>>79675036The name and logo are enough for me to avoid it like the plague
>>79680611See this>>79680561Just create your acc on some pleroma instance like i dunno neckbeard or spc etc., those guys are pretty chill
>>79680450If you use Zeronet with Tor not one packet will leak to the clearnet and all your concerns are moot.Besides, all federated systems are 100% clearnet at this point. Instances have to rely on moderation in order to avoid things like CP which is completely retarded.
>>79675036It seems to me that federation of instances only serve to enable the receiving of upcummies by the users.If instances were anonymous boards without signup, there would be literally no reason for two boards to communicate with each other.Sure, you might want to bundle threads from different boards but you just need some kind of aggregator for that.I'm quite happy without discord faggotry in my life tbqhf.
>>79680611>>79680647>>79680532>>79680411Quick history, might get some details wrong: Mastodon creator was all about freedom of speech, was happy about nicely developing adoption rates, noticed it came from some alt-righters, grudgingly implemented a way to block other servers and their users and subsequently started blocking lots of stuff that's not exactly "clean" content (alt-right, porn, what have you). Solution: create your account on a server that's chill and doesn't block other servers, either a really small "alternative" one, often privately hosted and with dubious uptime, or one of the big ones that are also chill for their own reasons. I mainly use it to follow loli artists (just follow their links from pixiv), and therefore created my account on pawoo.net, a Japanese server that doesn't get its panties in a bunch about a few fucking pixels on a screen.Note that Mastodon (and most Fediverse apps for that matter) are still slow and buggy and shit, some things won't work and I advise to do all account maintenance/follows through your browser on PC, not an app (I use Tusky on Android). Otherwise it is an ok experience, and hey at least it's more permissive than Twitter!
I use it every day its gud
>>79680450How is I2p
>>79680239Nah just open a port and you're good to go. Most ISPs let you open port 80
>>79680581what would be the minimum internet speed required to smoothly self host this , or anything for that matter
>>79679966Fosstodon.org is cool if you can control your autism
>>79681075I2p is essentially Tor without exit nodes. Everything you can do with I2p can be done with Tor onion services.
Any of you know any cool matrix servers?
Where can I blog on fediverse?

>>79681265how can you migrate it if you dont know if they are going to ban you or even shut down their instance
>>79675036Social media was a mistake.
>>79681472Yea, and in record time too in the case of the "muh free speech" gablins. Good riddance. I hope the effect persists.
>>79680932Mastodon came late into fediverse's history, used existing pockets of users to bootstrap and promote itself as an SJW twitter "without Nazis".Mastodon devs deliberately kept misleading narrative up that the project is "a social network" and "the fediverse" while keeping shut about stuff that they built upon and in parallel blocking and spreading malicious rumours about remaining GNU Social servers.Riding on the wave of popularity gained from SJW and tranny crowds, mastadon devs started introducing changes to some of the ambiguously described in ostatus specs elements and then refused to cooperate with what little remained of GNU Social devs. This introduced massive interop issues, broken threads, DDOS waves and some database corruption. Then it was sufficiently big to just dump it for ActivityPub. Pleroma was designed as a clean room implementation of AP too but it still maintained ostatus endpoints until recently (lain dumping it actually caused at least some butthurt and autistic sperging from the old crowd who were also early Pleroma adopters - even before it had a working backend and existed only as a shell client for GNU Social)
>>79675036I don't care about any of these gay new age platforms that have been popping up since the tantrums of facebook and twitter. I don't care for ANY social media. Except for 4chan, of course
>>79681591It was mostly FSE's bunch of jilted gabfugees and the fediverse clown posting traps and mocking them for being a bunch of fun hating old men. I remember it, it was very funny. It's debatable whether they saw it because Gab idiots fucked up federation almost immediately and it was only capable of spewing trash onto federated timelines, with Gab users not seeing anything from the outside.>>79681648Nice tripcode, namefag.
>>79681555Some mistakes turn out ok.>>79681628Mastodon is the first thing that had users. Gnu social had almost no one. It may have been later but the fediverse wouldn't even have users without it. And the chinese cartoon lovers especially (moon rune demonologists) had about equal user bases to the lgbt crowd for a long while.

So yes, the admins reacted.Ironically they and the gablins were spending the same week / month whining about how the Mastodon side of things had banned them.You don't happen to have a record, do you?

>>79682123>>79681628>>79681910wtf, what even is any of this? what internet drama did I miss? am only vaguely aware some free speech vs. alt-right thing going on in regards to fediverse/mastodon comparable to 8ch back then. but what's with the traps everybody? was happily in my japan porn bubble here, but am thankful for any very high-level summary or intro link.
>>79677681Husky :^)
>>79677850Pretty much yeah
>>79682551>wtf, what even is any of this?It relates to the time when Gab joined the fediverse. They adopted a mastodon instance and went in touting "free speech!" "federation!" horray and so on.But imagine what would happen if you connected a retarded echo chamber (far less accustomed to criticism then than /pol/ or even reddit) to all boards here. People shitposted back and did a great job at it. Lots of other opinions and lots of traps and lolis too.Gab couldn't take it and defederated most of the free speech / anime instances.Apart from that, the more LGBTQ instances banned Gab themselves and vice versa. Gab/its users then whined about it for weeks or months. It was amusing. Unfortunately one of the main instances (smuglo.li) where a central figure "zemichi" of this was is offline now so I can't immediately post more stuff.
>>79682551The Gabbening:>Gab decides to switch software, chooses Mastodon partially to troll the trannies entrenched in that ecosystem>Mastadon trannies are seething and panicking, put hardcoded blocks against logging in to Gab into their mobile clients, add Gab to their blocklists and later pressure F-Droid into delisting Gab's own fork of their app>previous refugees from Gab who mostly settled around FSE instance are still mad at Torba and are throwing insults>other Pleromafags are either mildly concerned about a wave of clueless boomers transforming the place (like Mastodon did) or prepared to sow chaos and shitpost for laughs>the more tech oriented side of Pleroma is taking bets on how much Gab will fuck up>Gab joins the fediverse, it's a broken mess>Gab dev and some confused Gab users get flooded with either insults, anime pictures (it was after Torba's anti-anime episode, I think) or smug, extremely obnoxious clown posts with Astolfo pictures attached to them>dev meltdowns in very amusing ways>Gab breaks federation and effectively blocks anything outside>Mastodon trannies are still seething about it to this dayThe scale of the trap posting wasn't really all that huge but it was very entertaining to watch as it was happening.Stuff about Mastodon effectively coming in with good PR and replacing the existing network with its own filth is another matter entirely. It's probably important to note that the original fediverse was mostly tech/FOSSfags, some MLP horsefuckers and mostly harmless anarchocommies - the landscape changed when gamergate happened and mass bannings on Twitter started happening. Difference is that the new free speech crowd formed its own pocket and everyone coexisted mostly in peace.

>>79675036The ideal solution to social media is to return to people having their own unique and interesting personal websites and "following" each other via RSS. Any other features offered by social media websites are bloat which could be done better by other individual programs, like having a seperate IM program instead of Facebook messenger, and doing long-term/formal messages via email.I like Peertube though and would use it if I made videos, as although you could host your videos directly on your blog too, it would be impractical both in speeds and costs, but hosting on a Peertube instance instead reduces that with peer-to-peer technology.

>>79683165You could use something like twtxt - a tab-separated text file put and updated somewhere where first field is a date and the second one is a message. Following someone means just adding the URL of the feed to a list for fetching, the rest is just a parser and UI for prettyprinting a timeline.https://github.com/buckket/twtxtThere's an extension that encapsulates this in a PGP clearsign too.

>>79684199mastodon.technology
>>79683165Activitypub is like a less silly more realtime rss. A futher development of atom-> ostatus.There is not much point to using rss for any such thing now. It was useful when it was close to the website html, just stripped.

Isn't Mastodon for lefties and Anarchists/Communist people?The project leaders are, so I don't know why right-wingers would go there.
>>79681515If your concerns are genuine and not a troll just host your own server. I'm confident my server will not shut down because its very well funded by the community, and because I don't say anything that will get me banned.
Why are all Peertube instances trash? And no, I'm not fucking privileged enough to own my own fucking server and run my own instance because that requires dealing with credit cards/banks to pay for which are for drones with no freedom and are constantly being monitored and given a "credit score" to judge your fucking life with.
>>79675044Gab is technically fediverse.
>>79683208Not even shilling good instances..
>>79686455So tell us some good ones?
>>79675036I tried using it once, but a very weird person got federated into my instance.Basically this person was an absolute CCP (Chinese Communist Party) shill. I'm not talking about a Chinese account made to lie about the status of life in China, but rather an American person who was touting every day about how the CCP was so incredibly great and how they were saving up to escape America and move into Mainland China to live under the government CCP. In that moment I realized I was in the wrong instance and deleted my account. A few days later I realized I didn't really want to have any sort of social media.I have nothing against Fediverse, I think it's great technology. I simply do not want to be close in any way shape or form to people like that.
>>79684843Go to a Pleroma instance and look for the "Known Network" timeline. That will be a stream of everything that instance can see. You will figure it out from there. >>79684976There seems to be a natural split. Mastodon for the left and trannies, Pleroma for the right and funposting instances. You can find exceptions to this but that seems to be how it is settling out. Doesn't really matter much because they can still federate with each other. >>79684199mastodon.sdf.org

Mastodon arose from the idealistic open-source software movement, designed to let anybody run their own social media site. But it was never intended to support something like Gab. While Gab has no official political affiliation, it's known as a haven for far-right or explicitly fascist users too extreme for bigger networks. Its hands-off moderation approach is antithetical to many supporters of Mastodon, whose creator has officially stated he's "completely opposed to Gab’s project and philosophy."
>>79687107>free speech extremists
>>79687234Gab seems to have broken most of the Mastodon community. Before they where all about freedom. After Gab picked it up they frantically hard coded blocks in to all their apps and obsess about blocking users and sites from their instances now. I am convinced if they could go back in time they wouldn't have licensed their software under GPL specifically because of Gab. Now they are obsessed with control. Why the fuck would any normal person join an instance if it had this on the front page?
>>79687284>free speech extremistsLooks legit to mefediblock.org/blocklist/
>>79687338This is again just a bunch of instances. If someone insists that accepting confederate flags or a stupid CoC is a requirement for the group, many will go along.
>>79684214What's "silly" about RSS? It allows you to have a wide variety of different websites in your feed, and has extra functionality like being able to organise and tag feed sources, being able to easily download and export to different programs (e.g you use it to act like a YouTube subscription feed and have it open the items in mpv, without the need to visit the website). Activitypub on the otherhand restricts you to just other fediverse websites and you cant script and extend it like RSS. Also you need an account to use activitypub whilst RSS doesn't need one.
>>79687338>mastodon.technology does not federate with overtly fascist instancessure, whatever>Additionally we will refuse to federate with instances that themselves choose to federate with fascist instancesNow that's just retarded, especially considering federation with every other instance is the default state. Might as well use a whitelist of your safe space instances instead of a blacklist at that point.
>>79687234>Its hands-off moderation approach is antithetical to many supporters of MastodonIn reality: >>79682864 >>79682904 and so on.That said yes, you can moderate in a more hands-off way.

>>79688528>hosting a website in the fediverseyou're not thinking correctlyeach activitypub-based project is something that a website can host, typically as a subdomainwordpress can act as the primary domain, but you have to run a server with a subdomain as the public connection point if you're going to use the main domain for something else
