Is X Back? Who Cares. Social Media Monoliths Are Passé.

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 02:16:15 +0000

But I think this discussion also opens up another, related question: Do we need to live in a world where every network is the biggest thing ever? Can you have a thriving community without your primary platform being a zeitgeist machine? Gruber’s framing on the issue seems to suggest that Twitter circa 2009 is the ideal. But what if that moment has genuinely passed? The Threads algorithm that Gruber points to specifically goes out of its way to discourage the very kinds of interactions that a 2009 Twitter once allowed. The fediverse’s server-oriented setup favors interactions in smaller communities even if, in practice, people still tend to favor the larger ones.

Fedi got fingerd | Ian Renton

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 23:25:47 +0000

Here it is then: a python script designed to be run from a cron job, which grabs your latest posts from your fedi account, converts them to a plain text format, and dumps them into ~/.plan along with your bio. This is then picked up by the finger daemon when someone runs finger [youruser]@[yourserver].

Well, I had this idea. A new bot that would post one bookmark per day to a Mastodon account.

Jorijn Schrijvershof: "Built a Mastodon observability…" - toot.community

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 19:34:08 +0000

Built a Mastodon observability stack over the weekend for toot.community: Grafana dashboards (web/sidekiq/streaming/edge), VictoriaMetrics rules, SLOs & alerts. The ultimate goal was to get meaningful symptom (user-facing) alerts and to learn about Jsonnet and Grafonnet.

It is very, very unlikely that in the Mastodon universe, Sarah Kendzior’s account would suddenly have globally vanished. It is quite likely that the shot-a-man post would have been edited appropriately, and possible that it would have just vanished.

The Last Days Of Social Media

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:51:28 +0000

Social media as we know it is dying, but we’re not condemned to its ruins. We are capable of building better — smaller, slower, more intentional, more accountable — spaces for digital interaction, spaces where the metrics that matter aren’t engagement and growth but understanding and connection, where algorithms serve the community rather than strip-mining it.

evanp/onepage.pub: A one-page ActivityPub server

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 19:19:45 +0000

This project has multiple goals. First, it's a demonstration of how to build an ActivityPub server, with most of the important parts implemented. It should be useful for implementers who want to know how ActivityPub works in the real world. Second, it's a platform for testing and experimentation with new client apps and new server features.

in which social media can be put in your own hands - Technomancy

So what's it like to set up your own GotoSocial server? Well, I can walk you thru what I used for my setup. Yours might be different; that's OK! I made these up-front choices to simplify the operational overhead because I didn't want this to be a hassle and I don't need the extra engineering that comes from trying for nine nines of uptime:

revealing the fediverse's gifts

If they’re motivated, tooled up, and plugged into communities of support fediverse server teams can provide context-sensitive, high-touch local moderation for their members—while also connecting to a broad landscape of other well-governed servers. But can new fediverse members find them?
