Ho visto il video in cui #AlexPretti, innocente infermiere che provava a difendere una donna con un *cellulare*, è stato barbaramente assassinato da una banda di criminali armati e fomentati proprio dallo Stato
E' semplicemente raccapricciante
Qui IMHO è molto peggio dell'assassinio di #NicoleGood (se può esserci una scala)
Non vedere che tutto il governo, lo Stato e la società civile si indigni e si ribelli in toto ad una roba del genere, mi fa capire che lì non esiste proprio più uno Stato

We are slowly building a fully standardized, scalable and coherent social network, step by step 🏗️
All the interactions between the apps and platforms are strictly defined in XMPP
Stories for example are defined in this simple extension: xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.h….
And for the first time two totally different clients are sharing Stories, in real time, without any adaptation in between ✨
..and everything is stored on your XMPP account! 🔒 Checkout the Stories integration in @monocles 🤩
#XMPP has never been so alive ♥️
monocles.social/@monocles/1159…
Today, the next release of monocles chat is finally ready and published, and will be available in stores in the next few days. It is a huge update with three fundamental new features:
Stories, Feeds, and Phone log.
In addition to many other improvements and features such as account sorting and improved message deletion, this update also brings new support for multiple XEPs. Thanks to the standardization of XMPP, it is now possible to interact socially with other XMPP platforms and messengers. The new features bring more functions that are fully compatible with the XMPP web platform @movim Create your stories today or make a post for your contacts in monocles chat or Movim.#monocleschat #monocles #movim #xmpp #chat #messenger
Dopo un periodo di prova su snac.prove.noho.st, ho deciso che era ora di smetterla di giocare e fare le cose come si deve.
Mi sono creato una mia istanza monoutente SNAC2, con un dominio serio, e l’ho anche blindata come si deve.
Sì, lo so, esiste il file con tutti i following di snow@snowfan.it.
Potrei importarlo e via, fatto.
Ma no.
Questa volta voglio farla in modo diverso
Una istanza piccola, mia, controllata, che fa una cosa sola e la fa bene.
E se qualcuno mi chiede “ma perché non importi tutto”, la risposta è semplice
Perché voglio scegliere, non trascinarmi dietro l’inerzia
Ho visto che devi scaricare il sorgente e compilartelo.
E per gli aggiornamenti come si fa? Devi ricompilare tutte le volte immagino.

Good morning Fedi friends!I hope you're having a nice weekend.
I'd like to clear the air re: #WSocial and my opposition to it.
I got a lot of messages on my Mastodon account (several over private DM) trying to dissuade me from speaking up about it and urging me to work on improving the fediverse instead.
I hear you.
But I disagree.
I experienced the same thing last year, when I mentioned I had incendiary evidence about the lack of content moderation on Substack. I had many examples of posts and replies inciting racism, homophobia, fatphobia and xenophobia and spreading dangerous health misinformation. I had taken screenshots and reported them. When I checked back months later, none of my reports had been acted upon. I am talking about seriously heinous messages that are still on there. When I mentioned this on the fediverse, I got many responses urging me "not to waste my time" and "to stay positive" and to "focus instead on helping the fediverse." I did that. Meanwhile Substack is still incredibly popular and most people - even those using it - have no idea of the heinous speech that is allowed on it... and sometimes even monetized. I honestly regret not speaking up. It may not have made a difference, I know (I'm not a megalomaniac) but it makes my skin crawl to think some of the heinous comments are still on there and a young person could come across them and think they are ok. I should have spoken up.
Now, W Social where do I start? Sure, my criticism of it is from a completely different angle. All I want to do is write ONE blog post about its problematic aspects and then I will move on. What is so objectionable about it?
Years ago I wrote a blog post citing all the problems about Dove and its Real Beauty Campaign. It may not have been much, but it was over 10 years ago and the post is still getting hits today. You can see it for yourselves if you look up "The Problem with Dove" and "The Illusionists."
I'm very very lucky to have a little bit of influence on here - I'm immensely grateful for it - and even if I'm preaching to the choir as they say, maybe my advocacy can make a little bit of difference.
My hunch is: staying silent and wishing W Social away is not the way to go. They had a very rushed, botched announcement with no existing product or users. Major security flaws in their setup (I have plenty of evidence). I'd like to write something that you could reference and share... since so far no journalists did any research and simply rehashed the press release of W Social. That's irresponsible reporting – P.R. masked as journalism and it needs to be rectified. That's all I want to do: a blog post about "The Problems with W Social" that hopefully with a sprinkle of SEO magic people can easily find. What's so bad about it? 4 hours of my time and then I'll move on.
Your loyal fedi advocate,
Ele

@EUPetitionBot @nachtet Merde ;)
I just had the same idea to make a bot, using IFTTT and a WebHook by URLooker. But a WebHook only works with a payed IFTTT, which I don't have.
So @hpod16 , may be you can tell the ECI to explore the Fediverse or at last provide an RSS feed, to present their Mail-Newsletter at last.
This is the typical "non Fediverse" they have:
(Yes, they are on BlueSky, but the Link to the Fediverse does not work mostly)
@EUPetitionBot @nachtet Its from simply the Homepage:
citizens-initiative.eu
And next to the newsletter, they offer events to. May be those are also good to share here
@nachtet @karlos @EUPetitionBot
Now I do too!
Sometimes when I check a new account, no posts appear, and then a while after I follow them I do start to see the posts
Welcome.
It would be fantastic if the primary online presence of the union could be European.
The EU institutions could be a driver in adaptability.

Welcome!
Your big challenge is going to be understanding and then explaining why Mastodon and other fediverse services are a much better way for Europe to free itself from American (and Chinese) platforms than the Eurosky project!
We need more press coverage of the fediverse and stuff like "share on fedi" next to "share on Facebook" and the like. It should be normalized for media and business to be on fedi as well.
So from your standpoint you could fight for public press releases of the EU to include links to official fedi accounts for example.
Thank you for asking!

Awesome! Should probably move right to the top of the sharing options. 😅
Maybe it would make sense to migrate to using the term "fediverse" as well. Away from the product Mastodon, because there are also other products available and competing with their commercial counterparts like Friendica (alternative to Facebook), Pixelfed (alternative to Instagram) and Loops (alternative to TikTok).
(Not to mention various smaller projects and forks or alternatives to Mastodon as well)
@der_schrank as you're learning about Mastodon and Fediverse, I *highly* suggest checking out some of the resources that @FediTips has released. They're how I learned most of what I know about fedi.
Best of luck!

Hi Hannah, welcome!
About your question, Mastodon is part of a much larger social network called the Fediverse.
I've done an easy-to-understand guide about this at fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-wha…
There are also lots more guides on the front page at fedi.tips and feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific. I am trying to provide unofficial tech support on here 🙂
An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediversefedi.tips
Personally, I talk about the Fediverse and why it is important a lot and there are many opportunities, even when just doing small talk. Most people are not happy with being manipulated by big tech, ad-driven social media. For many, I'm the first person to even tell them about the Fediverse. Of course, the vast majority won't join right away, but every impulse helps. I like focusing on positive aspects and advantages, and try to reach the person where they're at right now. And depending on the circumstances it might not be more than namedropping, but I still think it's very important to do. And I do look out for other opportunities to promote it.
I also like pointing people here:

Thanks for the comment, @totientfunction!
I'm enjoying Mastodon so far because it reminds me of a different time on social media.
There was a time I was to taken with social media, I loved it enough to make it my whole career. It's been 10 years since I started working with social media, and I've seen a lot of... change, much of it for the worse. Still believe that social media can be harnessed for good though.
Two attractive things IMO:
"channels" of practical information. My city has Fediverse announcements of power and water outages (planned or emergencies), wastewater disease tracking, other stuff it's just handy to see. More time-sensitive than a webpage, less time-sensitive than emergencies or transit outages (I get those over SMS).
Ideally useful info, not just press releases; and really ideally someplace a citizen can report trouble

@hpod16
"social" is less obviously something for a government to Do, but I bet a government could help translate popular client software into all the national languages, or sponsor "how to host a small instance" the same way there are community classes in gardening or any adult pursuit.
One of my hobbyhorses is that "hosting" is TWO important jobs, the computer side and the human side -- in English it's the same kind of "host" that might run a regular salon, or a friendly bar, etc.
2/2
it's usually called "moderation" online, but IMO it's like parties!
You welcome new people, you have a sense of both the agreed beliefs and the issues that are going to be touchy for your group, you do ongoing organization so people can find the good stuff...
and sometimes you have to throw somebody out though in a good system that's RARE and it always involves some people feeling it was too early and some people feeling it wasn't early enough.
Familiar???
Welcome in the world of fediverse!
Welcome! By telling them not to overthink it.
1. There ARE plenty of active Europeans on here, in all EU languages, you can really turn it into a nice little anglo-free oasis with the right filters and still have plenty of content.
2. We're not all techies. I still don't know wtf is a Linux, it's fine. If you just want to shitpost and share cat pictures or share stitching patterns or soup recipes, you'll find your people by following hashtags.
3. Show them #FinnCleo
YW. Small steps, ya know?
I forgot to mention in the tips that you can edit your posts after sending them. That's a godsend. Anyhow, it's great to 'meet' you and welcome to the party. Hope the rest of your day is fantastic.

@HennaVirkkunen Yes, a very good start, even though the instance name is a bit clunky and bureaucratic.

I suggest 'EU.4u' as instance name.
well, I'm guessing the first step would be coming to the Fediverse ourselves, so at the very least we're off to a good start there 8-D
The next step would be to convince others to join us, I'm still working on that 8-P
@clickhere @Trojaner @mastodonie @alex_p_roe
You should be able to see custom emoji no matter which instance you are on.
However, you can only use custom emoji yourself that are on your own instance.
If you can't see custom emoji from another instance, it's probably a temporary glitch.
More info about them at fedi.tips/what-are-custom-emoj…
An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediversefedi.tips
That's a fair question, and I'm not sure of the answer.
On the one hand, it's a bit technical for me: I know that sometimes, I can't see custom emojis from other instances, but sometimes I can; and I don't know why!
otoh, they're a bit 'fun,' so are they necessary for a 'serious' instance? (If yes, maybe as a lower priority!?)
Possibly @FediTips has some guidance on this topic?
@Trojaner Haha, this is amazing. (I was going to jump in with some info about emojis, etc., but I think it's mostly been covered.)
Yes, having custom emojis for your server/community is very important. The admins of @mastodonie - an Irish instance - added icons for a pint of stout, Tayto crisps (the national potato chip), Brennan's bread (an indispensable loaf), and (most important of all) a mug of tea. 🙂

I hope you'll enjoy being here.
As for your mission, It's my belief that explaining exactly what ActivityPub (and not just Mastodon) actually would be a great first step. ActivityPub is the protocol that every Fediverse service uses to dialogue with other services.
I also believe that @_elena and her (I hope this is the right pronoun Elena, if not just make me know and I'll edit) videos explaining the Fediverse would help a lot

@dalcacer Mastodon is a higher barrier for me to clear currently, I need to either write a client myself or start using something that is light and either runs outside of a web browser or is compatible with more than just a few browsers. Sadly, Mastodon upstream not only requires JS, it's also using features that greatly restrict the amount of browsers one can use.
(Now a good thing here are the open specifications, meaning that like IRC, USENET and e-mail, one's not tied to some client, my usual example of this is pointing Microsoft Comic Chat, I think that client illustrates the idea of a significantly different interface built on top of an open protocol. I do like this aspect, but it might be less relevant to attract more users globally;... but it should be quite relevant and important for elected officials and EU institutions, of course, just like you'd not publish official documents only in proprietary formats.)
The thing is: the content makes it worth it. So even if it's currently more difficult, I try to have a look at Mastodon, in spite of that.
In another account I follow a bunch of hashtags and I end up having a lot of interesting content (sadly, sometimes overwhelming, I'm eagerly waiting for the ability to put hashtags in lists).
is it european?
what do i know, im just around, stumbling across stuff... the usual...
The monthly digital independence day is currently a DACH thing. But it can become european!
@dalcacer I'm loving my first day on Mastodon!
Did not expect this much reaction and now feeling a little shy.
I'm here because we need more people who understand Mastodon / the Fediverse. I know noting, but I'm keen to learn.
And quite frankly, we owe it to Europeans to promote European tech solutions.
@Bastianoso There are quite a lot of places and protocols on the internet that can lead to cool places happening.
I guess in the end it's not so much about Mastodon or the fediverse being good, but just about getting elected officials, institutions and companies to start using it. They shouldn't need to replace what they're already using, they can just complement it (although if they're using TSNFKAT, one might come up with questions regarding the kind of content provided by their bot as a service, and in that case, leaving one of the previously used services could be quite positive...).
Somebody could even come up with something not-quite-mastodon for such use cases, and it could still be integrated in the fediverse and allow a lot of interactions, I guess it doesn't even need to be Mastodon for they to get connected.
And that visibility is probably key to wider adoption. It doesn't help that there are elected officials or public entities which choose to only use commercial, proprietary services to interact with users/voters/..., but adopting something on the fediverse will also add to the visibility of the fediverse, besides increasing their own reachability.
We're even in an age where having a readable web page with a news section or a contact e-mail address is getting less common.
Use the European Commission’s free, secure AI-based translation and language tools to translate, generate and improve content in multiple languages.Multilingualism, translation and language-based AI services
It does depend on your instance, your admin will choose a translation system if they have one, usually LibreTranslate or DeepL.
Some instances may not have translation at all because the admin doesn't have the resources to pay for it. If you ask your admin to add translation, it might be a good idea to also offer a donation at the same time.
Just to be clear, the translation services on here are not "AI" in the sense of ChatGPT etc. They aren't large language models.
LibreTranslate and DeepL use a different technology and were founded years before ChatGPT etc.
The term "AI" has been used a bit too freely by the media to the point where people assume it means awful unreliable stuff like ChatGPT and other LLMs.
Yup. The term is just... it's used so broadly now that it is unclear what it means any more.
It's difficult to even use the term "AI" any more because people assume it means LLMs and generative junk.
Ah okay, I wasn't aware of that. I hope it's not going down the path of ChatGPT type stuff 😬
Hi, and welcome!
Two points:
1. People think there's nobody here, because they wait for followers. But that's not how it works. You have to follow others here.
2. Although originally a German invention, there are people here from all over the world.
There are quite a few Mastodon 101 websites out there that explain how it all works, and who to follow, etc. People just have to find them and read.

@FediTips @alex_p_roe My usual view of this is to think of the different topics covered in e.g. Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, or in university courses labelled "AI".
Even LLMs can be good tools, if properly trained and used. But no, what we get from the same marketing trends that call it "AI" is using it as a generic global solution for everythingTM, which I'd argue is using it wrong.
When I'm trying to refer to it unambiguously, I also tend to use "Generative AI", or perhaps the shorter "GenAI".
(There's also "Generative Autocomplete", and I tend to also think of "GIGO". And now it seems Satya Nadella of Microsoft is boosting the use of "slop".)
No, you did not say expand! Sorry, sometimes I have to ask silly questions to make sure I understand. Feel free to shush me if I make a rude mistake.
It seems like you've enjoyed most of the introductions, at least.
"To understand Mastodon" (Fediverse):
If I'd follow you, I'd get all your posts in my feed.
Unlike other platforms, no algorithm filters for "relevance".
So, if I can't handle 30 toots per day from just one person, I can't follow you, in which case I get 0.
In other words, too many toots will decrease your visibility. A paradox probably unique to the Fediverse.
Hashtags can solve the issue. People can follow the tag, and you decide the subset of toots they will see.

That's a good question. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure. The fedi tips make a statement on "hashtag followers" but not on "followers".
I get a lot of feeds where people I follow answer somebody else. But I'm not sure about their settings.
It might not solve the issue, but "quiet public" is good practice, anyway.

Interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediversefedi.directory
I think a program that would provide funding to support some types of organizations setting up their own fedi instances could be a good idea for getting more of them on board. That could get all sorts of local information streams people naturally want to subscribe to over here.
Also, looking at for example the Forkiverse you see how effective that can be in getting people to at least try fedi when there's a natural community around something.

> a program that would provide funding to support some types of organizations setting up their own fedi instances
Yes! There is so much low-hanging fruit here. Take newsrooms, for example. They don't necessarily need anything as resource-heavy as a Mastodon server. Most of them already publish RSS, showing them how to use existing tools to also publish an AP feed would make much more quality content followable.
(2/2)
Stage 2 could be showing them tools for collecting and browsing any replies to posts published by their RSS>AP bot. Tools that allow them to selectively publish comments, a la the newspaper convention of 'letters to the editor'.
Stage 3 could be a consortium of newsrooms sharing a server to create official accounts for their staff, using their employer's domain name. Using Takahē, or other AP software where a single server can host accounts under more than one domain.

Governments can't fund what they don't know about.
If European digital sovereignty is important to you, start writing some emails to the people you think might be funding this.

Tutto è pronto, la sala c’è, è ora.
Non vedo l’ora di partire con Fortuitus, laboratorio per il recupero di canzoni popolari antiche, molto antiche, vorrei risalire almeno fino al Rinascimento.
Avendo fretta, ho posto la prima data di ritrovo molto vicina, il 30 gennaio, ma non dispero, come spiego nella pagina dedicata, la frequenza è liberissima, è un’attività che deve apportare piacere e non stress.
Quindi per sette incontri, da fine gennaio a fine maggio, proporrò studio ed esecuzione (senza partiture!) di canzoni, che sto recuperando con un personale studio, che probabilmente erano cantate non da professionisti dello spettacolo ma dalle persone in contesti quotidiani.
Non si fa polifonia, se non improvvisata.
Per cui, se hai voglia di sentire come suonava questa musica, e cantarla, vieni e sperimentati. Non ci sono limiti, non ci sono impedimenti – la sala è a Villa Monga, Verona, quartiere Pindemonte. Orari serali.
Le giornate e tutta la spiegazione si leggono sulla pagina dedicata, cliccando qui.
Non ci si iscrive, ma se mi comunichi che vieni in qualche maniera (alla pagina contatti – cliccando qui – trovi tutti i miei riferimenti) è meglio, così so cosa aspettarmi.
Insomma, ti aspetto, e non vedo l’ora.

Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.

it’s surreal how these folks would throw any new corporate crap at us while ignoring the literal elephant in the room - that ActivityPub has already proved its point and they just need to run their instances.
–EDIT–
Oh, a closer look points to something interesting:
Anonymous accounts and automated bots are not allowed, according to the project’s backers
So how do you prevent anonymous accounts and bots?
Simple, with online identity verification!
That’s why they ignore ActivityPub 🙂
They’re trying to sell us the solution for an existential problem that they have created themselves around an emergency that doesn’t exist.
At this point any Trojan horse that can get EU citizens to swallow online identity verification can work. And if they can edulcolorate with a “but it’s a European sovereign social network!” (even if the ID verification mechanisms still rely on Google’s and Apple’s operating systems) then why not give it a try? 😄
(Also, I guess that “no bots” implies “no public APIs” too. The war of walled gardens).

No, we want European infrastructure to be controlled by ordinary Europeans, not multinational corporations.
VC startups are only set up to be sold out to the highest bidder, which is usually outside Europe. VCs don't care what happens to their startup, they just want to sell out and get the money.
Other problems with W are:
-They're using fascist phrases and clothing
-They're erasing Mastodon from history
-They're centralised with all the problems that brings (list of them at fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse… ).

The purpose of connecting people isn't to make money, it's to provide vital infrastructure.
VCs are the wrong vehicle for vital infrastructure.
Look at the sheer scale of electoral interference through Meta and Twitter/X. Musk especially is using Twitter/X to promote fascists.
These are failures, they are failing society and even getting people killed ( theguardian.com/technology/202… ).
"I don't think governments and institutions have the risk appetite for stuff like this. "
The costs of building something like the Fediverse are absolutely tiny (some prices for scale: masto.host/pricing ).

@davidt @fedi
The incentives for VCs are all wrong on social media and internet services, the ownership structure inevitably leads to "enshittification" as @pluralistic has documented in great detail.
They provide a wonderful service to hook people in, then once people are locked in they degrade the service to the point where it's much worse and more expensive than the original alternatives.
We don't need VCs to be controlling things, they misuse that control.
Oblomov reshared this.
The telephone network is decentralised, as is the email network and the postal network. When it existed, the telegraph networks were also decentralised. You don't need one corporation controlling everything for global networks to connect together.
Even Facebook and Google used to use a decentralised messaging standard called XMPP, but they decided to abandon this for commercial reasons. Goverments could have easily forced them to continue.
Oblomov reshared this.
But they don't want a federated alternative owned by nobody, they want a government panopticon that they own and control themselves, not some decentralized un-owned un-controlable alternative.
I will not be registering, certainly.

Qualche consiglio per non sentirti sperduta: vai sul link fedidevs.com/starter-packs/?q=…
Trovi i gruppi tematici con un set di persone da seguire. Puoi scegliere il tema che ti interessa, là ci sono le/i più attive/i per argomento. Una volta che segui tutti e cominci a interagire, poi farai la tua scelta (magari qualcuno lo smetti di seguire
ma ciascuno ti porta la sua rete dove puoi trovare altri interessanti).
Segui gli hashtag! Sono utili qui!

benvenuta su Livello Segreto e sul fediverso in generale, che è il posto perfetto per chi come noi non si è mai filato i social in generale 😅
Per sostenere la comunità… parla di quello che ti piace e quando ti va; usa l'alt-text per le immagini, così che siano accessibili a chiunque e se fai dei thread lunghi cerca di mettere in "Pubblico silenzioso" le risposte al primo toot per non floodare il feed dell'istanza (sì, qui ci sono 3 feed distinte, ma vedrai tu stessa) ^^
⤵️
⬅️ Poi vediamo, tieni presente che oltre alle persone qui puoi anche seguire gli hashtag, così se c'è qualcosa che ti interessa come, che so, #comics o #art seguendoli ti troverai la home popolata da post con quei tag.
Ah, se vuoi e puoi sostenere Livello Segreto, volendo c'è una raccolta fondi facoltativa su Liberapay:

A significant fraction of people can’t handle lactose, like [HGModernism]. Rather than accept a cruel, ice cream free existence, she decided to do something you really shouldn’t try: biohacking her way to lactose tolerance.
The hack is very simple, and based on a peer reviewed study from the 1990s: consume lactose constantly, and suffer constantly, until… well, you can tolerate lactose. If you’re lactose intolerant, you’re probably horrified at the implications of the words “suffer constantly” in a way that those milk-digesting-weirdos could never understand. They probably think it is hyperbole; it is not. On the plus side, [HGModernism]’s symptoms began to decline after only one week.
The study dates back to the 1980s, and discusses a curious phenomenon where American powdered milk was cluelessly distributed during an African famine. Initially that did more harm than good, but after a few weeks mainlining the white stuff, the lactose-intolerant Africans stopped bellyaching about their bellyaches.
Humans all start out with a working lactase gene for the sake of breastfeeding, but in most it turns off naturally in childhood. It’s speculated that rather than some epigenetic change turning the gene for lactose tolerance back on — which probably is not possible outside actual genetic engineering — the gut biome of the affected individuals shifted to digest lactose painlessly on behalf of the human hosts. [HGModernism] found this worked but it took two weeks of chugging a slurry of powdered milk and electrolyte, formulated to avoid dehydration due to the obvious source of fluid loss. After the two weeks, lactose tolerance was achieved.
Should you try this? Almost certainly not. [HGModernism] doesn’t recommend it, and neither do we. Still, we respect the heck out any human willing to hack the way out of the limitations of their own genetics. Speaking of, at least one hacker did try genetically engineering themselves to skip the suffering involved in this process. Gene hacking isn’t just for ice-cream sundaes; when applied by real medical professionals, it can save lives.

Remember when the founder of the #SocialWebFoundation was encouraging people to use #WhatsApp over #Signal? Because his boss owns #WhatsApp?
#ICE can compel #Meta to hand over lots of user metadata because Meta also uses metadata to spy on users, as a way to circumvent the encryption.
Conversely, Signal does everything in its power to minimize the amount of metadata it collects.
