  • #Mastodon timeline: "I don't understand the #Superbowl" "Let others enjoy it""Not into Football" Some comments on commercials. Majority of posts as usual. #Bluesky non-stop #Superbowl posts and jokes (some even funny). No shade on either and it's probably the audience and a little of the BS algo, but as someone not watching the game the…

    Goodnews is a PHP-based social media platform like Mastodon based on the ActivityPub protocol Created by goodnews-project on Sep 11, 2024.

  • Apparently, it’s blowing minds that users would rather learn a foreign language to use another TikTok based app (or back another solution on another protocol) then try a #fediverse alternative. Reminds me of the “when Musk bought Twitter” times when #Mastodon fans didn’t understand why “picking a server was so hard”. Nevertheless good to see…

  • Interesting: Turn your #Mastodon archive file into a standalone static HTML site. “Easy to customize, easy to search, all posts also indexed not just chronologically, but on tag pages.” https://codeberg.org/oliphant/posty #opensource #selfhosted

  • Gazzetta is an #RSS reader for #Mastodon https://primatology.xyz/blog/introducing-gazzetta

  • I wish when I favored something in the browser on #Mastodon, it would show up as favored in Ivory. I imagine that’s because of Mastodon or the decentralization. Still annoying to land on a user page in a browser and not being able to follow them until you go to your own instance. Although there…

  • "#Mastodon vs #Bluesky is a new standards war" (I don't view it was a war, but overall i agree with this take… i'd rather it come down to these choices vs alternatives). https://www.neelc.org/posts/mastodon-vs-bluesky-gsm-vs-cdma/

  • No social platform system will ever be perfect but this post contains the majority of what i see could be improved in #Mastodon when it comes to tech. I think community “vibe“, attitudes, and discoverability also play a part. https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html

  • I enjoyed https://mastodon.social/@_elena take on #Bluesky. Most agree on its weaknesses – “it’s like the Impossible Burger” vs fast food of Twitter, TikTok, etc. is apt in context. https://blog.elenarossini.com/if-big-tech-social-platforms-are-junk-food-and-the-fediverse-is-a-healthy-home-cooked-meal-then-what-is-bluesky/ “I wouldn’t want tens of millions of new people suddenly landing in the #Fediverse and changing its culture.” It is the most… polite… way I have…

  • In a way, nice to see #Mastodon and #Bluesky and other resources acting a "comment" system on personal blogs. Bad to see that BECAUSE one is relying on social the solutions are FRAGMENTED. If the CMS or blog tool had it's own comment system – not an issue.

  • OH: "In order for #Mastodon or the #Fediverse to ("air quotes")"win"(/air-quotes) at social, #BlueSky (or even #Threads) doesn't have to lose".

  • Interesting. Sill streamlines your #Bluesky and #Mastodon feeds to give you a clear picture of what’s happening. "Like Nuzzel was for Twitter" (which I liked). I signed up to try it out. https://sill.social/ #social

  • " #Mastodon weaknesses and how to fix them " https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html Bookmarking to read in full later… …but interesting mention of #BlueSky starter packs (seeing more of pack mentions outside of BS). I wonder if we'll see the concept and execution come to other networks like M, and if BS didn't have them how long would…

  • I just muted politics, AI, and Bluesky to see what would happen and my entire #Mastodon feed disappeared

  • Flush finds public restrooms or bathrooms. #iOS 🚽 If I called #Mastodon posts "toots" there would be a great joke in here. #tech https://www.jrustonapps.com/apps/flush-toilet-finder

    This other social network has made #Mastodon is such a enigma. And not talking about Twitter. "Hoping Mastodon will get it's great migration too.""Hoping Mastodon stays small / underdog." …shouted simultaneously out of the same mouths. Proud to make my home here but it's odd.. maybe some of this noise is performative? Reminds me of…

  • Speaking of #Bluesky – i never left. #Mastodon is my default. Just logged in today after a year and I got 440 followers?!?!?!? How is that possible? #Mastodon is still my default but If you are over there too this is me: https://bsky.app/profile/davidbisset.com

  • #Mastodon … where 10% of my feed is how it's better than #Bluesky.

  • I think for #mastodon it would be “Your next task is to not mention those mentioning how dark it is…” #daylightsavingtime #memes https://mastodon.social/@Some_Emo_Chick/113419578854356942

  • So looks like #mastodon on my server (phpc.social) got updated – seeing a tweaked web interface. Overall, looks nice. But observing that the "notifications" area looks more like Twitter (X) notifications now than before (which made me smile briefly). Just a "by my eyes" observation.

  • There’s a #WordPress plugin that allows you to publish on your blog using #Mastodon apps. https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/ "Be aware that an app will have a post format associated (see the settings page)."

  • Hey I just followed official @WordPress on #Mastodon. #WordPress

  • Ah vague subtweets…. or on #Mastodon is it subtoots? subposts? What's the most common used term? 🤔

  • Unfollowed a few folks. A reminder It's ok to unfollow people in your #Mastodon timeline that 99% offer negative and "this is why this company/tech sucks" comments. And seem to find others that have 99% in their timelines as well and feed on each other in an orgy of symbiotic grumpiness. It's ok even if…

  • At this point, if you go to #Bluesky just to document bad things happening to that particular social network or to report back to #Mastodon what people on a social network say about people here… I envy the time you have at your disposal.

  • Everything #tech has an overhyped cycle (usually in the beginning of its introduction to a critical mass but not always). If you’re reading this on Mastodon then you’ll likely rightly think about #AI #Apple etc. But also #Mastodon #ActivityPub #WordPress etc also had theirs. Maybe you weren’t around for them. And these (and more) have…

  • Untitled post 59315

    From time to time I stumble onto a modern Tweet worth adding to my https://davidbisset.social collection (via #mastodon). — About #coding / #tech industry: "Early in my career, I joined a project that used a lot of #SQL. I was new to SQL so I found an “intro to SQL” book on the company bookshelf,…

  • Sad a bit but not surprised to see post.news shutting down. I signed up and never used it but I got the weekly newsletter. We need more alternatives and experiments when it comes to social networks. Yes in addition to #mastodon … although one can argue that #fediverse compatibility should be a high consideration for…

  • Keeping an eye on "Share Openly" – a platform-agnostic sharing project from Ben Werdmuller @ben. https://werd.io/2024/share-openly Works with #Mastodon, Micro.blog, Bluesky, Threads, and other services.
