An example of the viewing a GemText page over the Mercury Protocol using my small-net browser client named: SpaceMonkey.

It is made for GNOME. And, runs on both a Linux based mobile phone and the desktop.

I want to see our leaders do their part and post on Canadian social network services. Federation gives them reach to other countries, but keeps them rooted here.

The American president doesn't use the big American social networks for his announcements. Why is the Canadian prime minister using them? #ElbowsUp

If you know someone who wants to move their account from one Mastodon server to another, here's an easy-to-understand step-by-step guide:

It tries to answer all the questions people have about transferring Mastodon accounts. If I've missed something let me know 🙂

If you know someone looking for a server to move to, here's a human curated site listing good reliable servers:

Naru, the Korean version of #Neocities, reportedly added an #ActivityPub implementation in just an hour using #Fedify. If you also want to implement ActivityPub quickly, give Fedify a try!

After testing the demo I now have my own smolfedi instance up and running.

A poll to any admins who are self-hosting their own xmpp
what is your server running?

Yesterday I had the incredible opportunity of giving a presentation for the service numérique of the French Ministry of Culture, as part of their experiment with the Mastodon instance @cercle

My talk: "The Fediverse: the original promise of the internet"

It was super inspiring to listen to all the talks of the participants, from the @palaisdetokyo to @LeMuseum. And the results of the poll by @imacrea were fascinating! I will write more soon. For now: THANK YOU for having me there ❤️

We have recently received a trust score by 9.6 out of 10 from "European & Open Source Alternatives", a website that wants to help people find trustworthy alternatives to Big Tech.

With that stellar rating, we are currently the top-rated alternative in the Maps category, side-by-side with our friends from #OpenStreetMap ❤️

Check out how that score was calculated for us, and other map alternatives here: https://european-alternatives.cloud/en/browse?category=maps

The beauty of the Fediverse, to me, is our rich diversity of experiences, abilities, and needs.

Everyone brings something unique of themselves into this place, and everyone needs something different from it.

That is a strength, not a weakness. Many come here with expectations that are different from mine ~ on any number of topics: AI, encryption, money, and more.

None of us are “wrong“.. we all just need different things from this place.

And that is beautiful.

For *BSD fans, I wish to understand something that truly bothers me.

You are a fan of one or more BSD os. Is that BSD (doesn't matter which one) your daily driver, your primary OS on your main computer?

Google's assault on F-Droid has begun. They are permitting malicious actors to claim other people's apps and take them over. As we've warned, this is going to destroy F-Droid and independent app distribution around the world. Speak out and help stop them at https://keepandroidopen.org. #keepandroidOpen

#smolweb oder das schlanke Web

Beschreibung (übersetzt): Heutzutage sind die Hardware-Ressourcen unserer privaten Geräte im Grunde genommen überdimensioniert, um aufgeblähte Websites zu bewältigen. Wenn wir Webdesigner dazu anregen, zu einem schlankeren Web zurückzukehren, könnten kleine Geräte wie alte PCs, alte Smartphones, Retro-Geräte und kleine Boards wieder nutzbar werden.
Das ist das Ziel des „Smolweb“-Konzepts.

I just added some little cgi scripts to my gemini capsule. I'd love a little feedback from any geminauts out there.

The Fediverse deserves a dumb graphical client

I love the Fediverse. I have been on it for years, and it remains the only social network where I actually enjoy spending time. No algorithmic feed pushing outrage, no dark patterns, no surveillance capitalism. Just people talking to each other over an open protocol.

But every time I wanted to recommend it to someone, I ran into the same wall: the clients are heavy. Mastodon's web interface ships megabytes of JavaScript. Elk, Phanpy, Ivory, beautiful apps, but they require a modern browser, a fast connection, and a device manufactured in the last five years ...
