Fediverse Report โ #116
FediForum has a new date and a new board
The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on whatโs been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on whatโs been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.
Bandwagon talks about monetisation and sustainability
Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform thatโs currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. โ Bandwagon.fm
Discourse and the fediverse
Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding whatโs possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.
Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release
Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: โIn a world of โmove fast and break things,โ weโve chosen a different tempo โ one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.โ
Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of โSlow Softwareโ seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.
FediDB onboarding
Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.
The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.
Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech
Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: โHowever, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.โ โ WeDistribute/Saskia Welch
Owncast turns 5
The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas โat one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.โ Kangas says that now โpeople want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, itโs important for it to be bigger than myselfโ. โ Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

Yeah this one stings but it needs to be brought up, so we can make this way easier.
There's gotta be a way to design this so users can partly skip the process of searching for a good platform. Maybe using a controversial AI solution for recommending a platform based on some Keywords from the user? Maybe just based on a random algorithm for trusted servers? Maybe as you interact we make it easy to switch servers and as soon as you like the feed you can join?
There's gotta be something better. I hope we get there.
If we get to the point where people can overcome the entry barrier, I think this will also increase user retention and the overall fediverse literacy on the platforms themselves.
By the way I think the communication can be much simpler:

- Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.
- Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)
- Follow people, and get posting.

Proiezione del documentario REAL di Adele Tulli
Domenica 25 maggio, dalle 21:00 alle 23:00, presso cinema Nuovo Armenia, via Livigno, 9, 20158, Milano; e anche online, su nuovoarmenia.it/
Domenica 25 maggio h 21 presso il Cinema Nuova Armenia, lo studio Yoga Sharana presenta il film documentario โRealโ di Adele Tulli selezionato alla 77a edizione del Festival di Locarno nella sezione Cineasti del presente. A seguire un intervento online della regista e un breve dibattito moderato da Maresa Lippolis.
Con questa prima iniziativa, Yoga Sharana intende avviare un percorso di riflessione su alcuni temi legati alla pratica dello yoga nel mondo moderno, quali il dibattito sulla mente-corpo, sulla consciousness, sullโintelligenza artificiale e la realtร virtuale.
Il film documentario โRealโ sceglie come campo di indagine alcuni crocevia fra mondi materiali e virtuali, un viaggio alla scoperta di contesti diversi, allo stesso tempo familiari e stranianti. Giocando con i riflessi, le maschere, le deformazioni ottiche e il collage, il film riesce a descrivere il peculiare vortice in cui la realtร oggi si configura.
La posizione dello sguardo che la regista propone รจ quella di riconsiderare le nostre stesse posture, nell'intento di superare i pregiudizi e aprire le possibilitร per nuove forme di soggettivazione e incantamento.
Lโingresso รจ gratuito. Sarร possibile lasciare una offerta per supportare le iniziative sociali dello studio Yoga Sharana

Ok, I see this around about people getting mad about this specific issue. What I want to know is, why? I mean, I get the frustration that comes from not everyone knowing as much about autism as we'd like them to. But why take it out on individuals? If they don't know, they don't know. What else are they supposed to do instead? Two years ago I didn't know anything about the subject, and I am reasonably well educated, interested in many things, and psychology is one of my favorite topics. So if I didn't know, how are other people supposed to?
Our current understanding of autism is pretty recent, and it takes time for this information to trickle through the system and reach everybody. Heck, most health care professionals aren't even up to date with the latest like we are. We have the privilege of being in a community that can collect and disseminate this information rather quickly, but we have a vested interest in learning it. Other people don't. There's lots for them to know about, even in just the 'disabled' sphere. And yes, our education system should absolutely be better, but that's not really the fault of the individual.
So why not, instead of getting mad at people like this, we take the opportunity to inform them ourselves? No, it's not our responsibility. And no, it's not even fair. But it's the hand we're dealt, and we can either do something to improve the situation or just be mad at it and keep it this way. "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness" as the saying goes.
And yes, I get that we may not always be in a position to do so, may not have the energy or communication ability at the time to do so. That's fine. You can even get mad because of the situation, that's natural. But there's still no reason to take it out on someone who says this. How is that helping?
What's the "middle" here though? Does person A not say they're autistic, or does person B not say "you don't look autistic"?

Er trรคgt einen dunklen Mantel und eine braune Decke, die ihn umhรผllt. Seine Kleidung wirkt abgenutzt, und er sitzt auf einer alten Decke auf dem Boden. Der Mann hat ein langes, dunkles Haar und einen Bart. Er blickt nachdenklich in die Ferne. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Menschen zu sehen, die in verschiedene Richtungen gehen, und ein Taxi fรคhrt vorbei. Die Szene vermittelt ein Gefรผhl von Einsamkeit und Armut inmitten einer belebten Stadt.

"As outrageous as it sounds, federal authorities have broad power to question and search U.S. citizens at the border without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Though the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure, the Supreme Court has recognized a so-called border search exception.
This authority applies to anyone located within 100 miles of a land border or coastline โ the "border zone" โ which incidentally covers over two-thirds of the U.S. population.
CBP has frequently used these powers since 9/11 to target Muslims, but up until Trump, they rarely targeted American citizens so overtly for voicing their opinions. As Hasan told me, he had never been targeted before.
How was Hasan selected, and why? That part remains a secret. Which federal agency or intelligence service flagged him is unknown.
But how they targeted him is known, and itโs a capability ripe for abuse."

The image features a close-up view of a vibrant purple flower with long, slender petals radiating outward from a central cluster of darker purple and pinkish stamens. The petals are delicate and have a feathery appearance, with a gradient of color from a lighter shade at the tips to a deeper purple near the base. The flower is surrounded by lush green leaves with visible veins, providing a contrasting backdrop that highlights the flower's vivid color. The leaves are broad and ovate, with some showing minor imperfections such as small holes and spots, indicating natural wear. The overall composition is centered, with the flower occupying the majority of the frame, drawing the viewer's attention to its intricate details and the interplay of colors.

* 10 apps were removed as they haven't been updated long time, and their sources have since disappeared.
* for 6 more such apps we found the sources elsewhere, so we've kept them.
* for 2 apps the source repos re-surfaced, so we were able to restore them. One more will follow soon as we were able to reach the dev, who will restore the source repo.
* Nitterify was found on Codeberg, having also changed its packageName. An update is available, so please switch over.

Meta's privacy officer was in Europe this week to speak at privacy symposium in Italy and to meet regulators in Ireland. She said the EU needs to address the power of privacy activists such as Noyb, which failed to recognize an opinion by an umbrella group of EU privacy authorities that legitimate interests could be a valid legal basis for companies that train Al models with personal data.
