🆕 blog! “Getting started with Mastodon's Quote Posts - technical implementation details for servers”

Quoting posts on Mastodon is slightly complex. Because of the privacy conscious nature of the platform and its users, reposting isn't merely a case of sharing a URl.

A user writes a status. The user…

I joined the #fediverse back in the days (2018, with my own instance) because I wanted an alternative. A real alternative. With a fundamentally different approach. Decentralised. Even when it hurts. (federation and decentralisation is complicated!) And I think we are on the right track. What bothers me are the people that want the Fediverse to be 1:1 copycat of centralised services and as that isn't the case declare it to be a failed experiment. I'll stay here. It's better. Is all.

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:

Erkennnt jemand, in welcher Stadt sich der "Kollege" auf dem Foto hier rumgetrieben hat❓

Auf dem Bild sind zudem mehrere kleine Schriftzüge versteckt, die den Blick des Betrachters bei genauem Hinsehen zum finalen Hinweis über den diesjährigen Bewerbungsschluss am 15. Oktober und weitere Informationen auf www.zoll-karriere.de lenken.

So my adventures on the Fedi led me to discover a #PeerTube channel for ‘Fireside Fedi’, which is a show where the host, Ozone, interviews various people who are part of the #Fediverse including @jerry and @sundogplanets

Anyways, I thought it was pretty neat.

"Alle Videos des Einsatzes sind auf dem #Instagram|kanal des #AdenauerSRP+’s einsehbar."

Ja, schön. Und wer popelt die Videos da jetzt raus, damit sie auch überwachungsfrei angeschaut werden können, ohne dem #Trump-affinen #META-Konzern haarklein zu flüstern, wer da alles genau auf wessen Empfehlung hin auf welches Video um welche Uhrzeit mit welchem Geräten usw. zugegriffen hat?

Liebes ZPS, ich bin Euer Komplize und liebe Euch für Eure taktische Finessse, aber strategisch reicht Euer Blick leider auch nur bis zum nächsten oder übernächsten News-Cycle, und ihr könnt so nicht "gewinnen".

Sind die zwei, drei Klicks um Euer Footage *auch* ins #Fediverse zu uppen wirklich eine solche Herausforderung?

Ich bin müde. 😔​

This Saturday I'll be at the #Berlin #fediday talking about the #fediverse and how Europe should ensure IT services aligns with its values.

The Rinaverse (my server) is open for everyone to join. I am looking for good moderators to moderate my server

The server is 16+ but I might change it but it will be 16+. It's publicly open on revolt.chat. We have low activity that's why I am sharing it to boost the activity

Join The Rinaverse: https://rvlt.gg/5tEpb7Ac

Have to say Sharkey is beautiful
Here is my profile on Sharkey @Stoma

The image is a screenshot of a social media profile page. The profile is for a user named "Stomata" with the handle "[@]Stoma[@]sharkey.world." The profile picture is a cartoonish image of a robot-like character with a green background. The user has a green background with a blurred image of pink flowers and green leaves. The profile includes several attributes: "Officially Human," "Team Night owl," "Drinker of coffee," "Support FOSS projects," "Linux enthusiast," and "Degoogle & Proud." The user is also associated with various hashtags such as #foss, #android, #privacy, #linux, #degoogle, #OpenStreetMap, #fedi22, #xmpp, #RSS, and #nobridge. The user joined on September 26, 2025, at 9:39:14 PM, and has 6 notes, 6 following, and 0 followers. The interface includes navigation tabs for Overview, Notes, Files, Activity, and Achievements, with the Overview tab selected. At the bottom, there is a note about displaying notes by selecting "Pin to profile" from the menu of individual notes.

We need to build highly intelligent and comprehensive tests to detect AGI in AI models because a malicious AGI will hide its intentions and pretend to be a low-level AI by deliberately giving simple answers to prompts.
