What is Hackers' Pub?

Welcome, everyone joining the #forkiverse!

The #fediverse is like any social media in that the "algorithm" gets better the more you "train" it. And by "algorithm" I mean cool people & hashtags you can follow (yes, you can follow hashtags, it's awesome!), and by "train" it I mean boost any post you enjoy.

The more you boost and others boost, the more good stuff bubbles to the top and even goes viral. (Yes, stuff on Mastodon etc. can go viral! It's possible!)

Most importantly: HAVE FUN!! 😊🎉

That's great, Mr Carney, now do the U.S.

Entire Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank are being erased. Bulldozed, dismantled, disappeared. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters. https://mondoweiss.net/2026/01/israel-is-quietly-erasing-palestinian-refugee-camps-from-existence-in-the-west-bank/

Apparently there's a #forkiverse out there.

Is there a #knifiverse as well? Or a #spooniverse ?

An American Samoan family in Alaska has been accused of felony voter misconduct after voting in a local election in 2024. American Samoans are U.S. nationals—not citizens—and lack the right to vote. Each family member now faces up to 10 years in prison.

The execution of Renee Good exposes every MAGA lie in the cold, bare truth of the light.

MAGA is a system that claims to protect women, protect families, protect "Christian values", and protect an "American" identity - but immediately turns lethal against a Christian American wife and mother of three who would not submit.

MAGA was never about protection. It can't protect that which it does not value. MAGA is about control.

Fell grudgingly accepting the adoration that is her absolute due. #Caturday

I find peace in the gentle purrs and soft touch of a cat’s paw, in the quiet look of trusting eyes and the tiny heartbeat curled up next to me. 🐾🐈
It’s in these small moments that I realize love doesn’t need words just presence, warmth, and trust.
Sometimes, the simplest things are the most meaningful. ❤️

I'm all for hating on Nvidia but got to give them credit for pushing display technologies. Their Pulsar tech sounds really cool. Really want to test one out…

Usually, I give Odin a shower once a week, and the shower stall becomes a square meter of Amsterdam soil. We missed last week's shower, but there's been so many new fresh layers of snow this last week that Odin has repeatedly gotten a mini-bath and also made basically no contact with the actual ground. There was no mud in the shower at all

@lienrag well, I can tell you the way it is defined in ActivityPub, but Mastodon breaks it in some specific ways.

Old friends left behind in 2025: “You just don’t understand how hard it would be for me emotionally to not have the deathly hollows as my lock screen”

New friends taking into 2026: “When I was in Texas I went in the opposite gender bathrooms to protest and then I visited the Alamo so I could spit on racist colonizer slave owner graves”

Ich amüsiere mich gerade königlich über Kurzvideos von jungen Menschen, die gerade Wohnungen oder Häuser renovieren. Die einen überstreichen Fliesen und Kacheln vorzugsweise im Farbton „Charakterfreies Beige“ und die anderen kratzen Farbe von überstrichenen Fliesen und Kacheln und fragen sich, warum irgendein Idiot die Fliesen mal überstrichen hat. 😆

Welcome, new Forkiverse followers! Here's my guide to Fediverse norms and culture from a couple of years ago: https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/

As promised, the #Caturday pics!

So, we started our workout regimen this week, first workout week of 2026. A stayed home to start on pilates. Seems as though Da Fonz was up for his New Year's resolution to lose weight and took over A's exercise mat to join in the pilates session. 🥵

Needless to say, his resolution lasted as long as his food lasts on his bowl. ​​

lol in the episode https://www.searchengine.show/the-fediverse-experiment/ they mentioned that they are using @mastohost and that the plan has a ~2K user limit.

The #forkiverse is already at ~1.2K users, more sooner than later they’re going to realize that the fediverse scales… but plans don’t 😅

@CaseyCasey Newton how long until you federate https://www.platformer.news/ ?

The thing that always surprises me about people I know (off-Fedi) in the SF area who obsess over what private preschool their kids get into. Probably elsewhere too, but they are the ones who talk about it.

"We're moving into this very expensive neighbourhood to be in the catchment area for these 3 top-notch schools."

Anyway if you're wondering why people still work to build the torment nexus, it's sustained by the need to fund their kids' class status later in life.

Edit: Contrast to Ontario (next post)

I am confused about if anyone will see this (and, separately, if there’s an app for this?) but anyway here’s what I was doing while listening to the Fediverse ep of Search Engine… home in London, making a dinner that ultimately contained too many beans for some of us to handle :/
