OK I've now spent a day camping the /

/public/local

("These are the most recent public posts from people whose accounts are hosted by theforkiverse.com.")

feed and all I can say is, in no particular order:

Zero to very low use

Empty

Pretty much content-free posts in general, I mean:

"trying out this new corner of the internet. u up?" with zero hashtags by an empty Profile

An "old" account is barely a week old

Very little (if any) threading; posts are all one-offs

Allegedly: Server stats: 5.6K active users @ 01/15/26

Analysis: a New York Podcast Influencer's flash-in-the-pan featured in (apparently) one podcast

Forecast: since it's nothing more than Just Another Mastodon Instance(tm) on v4.5.4, a slow decline into irrelevance, because right now there's simply nothing to set the Forkiverse aside from all the other Mastodon instances that offer anything besides a famous Podcast Influencer...

YMMV...

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

“싼값에 인공지능 학습하자”는 정부…저작권 단체 “정당한 보상은 당연” n.news.naver.com/mnews/articl... 정부와 산업계는 인공지능 학습에 사용하는 저작권에 대한 보상은 저렴해야 한다고 주장했다. “인공지능이 학습할 때 사용하는 한 권의 저작권과 사람이 공부할 때 사용하는 한 권의 저작권을 단순히 동일하게 생각할 순 없다” 미친 것들. 지들 특허하고 코드도 다 까라고 해야할텐데.

Increasingly, I don't know any of the celebs on celeb contest TV shows. When I look them up, I'm none the wiser: 'Jamareen is an online influencer known for their work in the M-social KatVortex genre, and their appearance on the reality show 'Chimp or Lasagne?' on the streaming channel Digi-Bog TV'.

I spent 7 years working on @PixelFed almost daily, and I've wanted to build an app ever since.

I'm a PHP/JS dev though, and thought it was impossible.

So I forked a react-native pixelfed client in 2023 and slowly learned.

Then I shipped a beta that fall, and rewrote it in late 2024 with a public app store release in early 2025.

That was so huge for me, I always wanted to build an app, but never thought I was good enough.

Stop doubting yourself, you can do it, and so much more 💪

I believe ❤️

Oh, look, I’ve been tasked by the Executive Director of the Python Software Foundation with a secret mission to personally purchase (?) gift cards (??) for top performers (???) that I would be reimbursed for (????) after I sent the list of codes over email in a spreadsheet (?????).

This is an obvious scam attempt, those emails were never from Deb Nicholson, but I led the scammer on to see what was gonna happen. DON’T GET SCAMMED, PEOPLE!
