General Fediverse question.

Sooner or later, the Fediverse will hit the point where somebody's individual node in their closet is the primary posting source for incredibly popular high bandwidth content, like a primary source news clip. As currently architected, the system will hug that data to death when individuals who do not have accounts on an equivalent fediverse server go requesting that content (and possibly also when 100 nodes of the given service go requesting the content).

Are there any projects to do content distribution networks or other multiplexed and more local caching for fediverse content? What would that even look like?

They’re less than €13K away from their €75K goal with less than 48 hours left. Let’s help them get there!

Come on , if you can, put some money where your heart is. The people from Framasoft are working hard on and are only looking for €75.000. With less than 40 hours to go, you can be part of the difference we want to see in the world :)

Soon we will be able to livestream from our smartphone to the fediverse!

Xの代替SNS「Bluesky」で特定意見が増幅するエコーチェンバー深刻…利用者半減 - 産経ニュース sankei.com/article/20250615-VO

ただ、アルゴリズムフリーという点は :fediverse: の良いところだとは思う。

自分が自分自身や自分のいる場所・サーバー・フォローしている人とかに対する「偏り」に自覚的になるということのほうが大事というか…
「アルゴリズムで完全にフェアで中立な SNS 空間をつくれる」と考えるほうがむしろ良くない気がしていて、そういう意味で はまだそういう発想を捨てきれずにいるような気がしている。

まあ、その発想を捨てると、一緒にSNS空間のキュレーション効果みたいなものも弱まるし、実際に みたいな牧歌的な仕組みの「時系列タイムライン」にあまり人が集まらないというのもそういうことなんだろうなあとは思っている。

Just donated to @peertube.

If you'd like PeerTube the ability to livestream and have the means, please donate to their fundraising campaign as well.

The campaign is running for another 33hrs, but I'm sure @Framasoft doesn't mind if you continue to support them with donations after this period :)

Frankreich nimmt das ins Visier. Gegenüber Politico sagt die französische Digitalministerin, neben Reddit und BlueSky prüfe die französische Regierung eine Einstufung von als Pornoplattform. Die Konsequenz wäre eine Verpflichtung Frankreichs neue Regeln zu digitalen anzuwenden.
Bei Nichteinhaltung drohen Strafen, delisting oder blocking.

Zeigt sich wieder: Das Thema online ist ein Angriff auf das freie Internet.

web.archive.org/web/2025061107

Screenshot mit Text: "Digital Minister Clara Chappaz's office told POLITICO it is considering designating websites such as Bluesky, Mastodon and Reddit — all of which allow the distribution of adult content — as porn platforms, obliging them to implement stringent age verification requirements under new French rules that came into effect Saturday. 'Our focus is age verification for any platform that distributes or enables the sharing of pornographic content,' Chappaz's office said in an email. Failure to comply could see sites fined, delisted from search engines or blocked completely."

One last push:
The peertube app campaign is just €7000 away from it's €55,000 target, and 2 days to go. Surely there are who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and research over the coming weeks...

Go!

[Re-listening to the Silmarillion awakens in me the desire to be creative]

Are there many designers here? I'm sure there're some although I haven't found many yet.

Let's use the tag - short and easy - for any user interface concepts of networks?

Since whole interface concepts require a lot of time and energy, I shall post under this tag small features that could be. The ones I'm too shy or too lazy to submit as issues. :)

Please, join

Happy to be finding so many fediverse merchandise stores lately - I was sure I had them all when I setup the list originally. Glad to be proven wrong.

Hi everyone,
I just migrated to this instance from elsewhere in space and time, so I'm feeling kind of woozy, but please give me a chance and I will be a great Follow.
Thanks to those who got migrated over with me; hello to new folks on here; can I get a WOOT?.
I hope I mostly did it right.
I will spend the next week looking over new Follows and such. Please no DMs.

Not only are we now but we're also hatching plans to help others find the way in the ...hopefully en masse! 💪

But first...

Do buddy systems already exist? 🙌

Would a buddy system be helpful to others? 🤝

Is there a catchy name for transitioning from big tech platforms or can we make one up!? 🤔

Do you want to be involved?!! 👀

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called ."
