Saw today Quote Posts in #Tapbot app and loving how it's done. 👏🏻 #Mastodon https://www.macstories.net/news/tapbots-releases-ivory-1-9-with-quote-posts/

Also bookmarking another related #BlueskyBridge post from @manton. https://www.manton.org/2024/02/15/mastodon-and-public.html "It often feels that (some) Mastodon folks care more about #Mastodon as a platform than they care about the #openweb as a platform."

Avoiding or ignoring controversies is my jam but i'm bookmarking what seems like a good write up on what's been going on w/ #BlueskyBridge, which includes responses to Includes negative feedback voiced from a few on #Mastodon. https://wedistribute.org/2024/02/tear-down-walls-not-bridges/ #Bluesky

Good read. Not really new news but summarizes I think well enough. "Social networks are getting stingy with their data, leaving third-party developers in the lurch". #Mastodon #Bluesky #API https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/09/social-network-api-apps-twitter-reddit-threads-mastodon-bluesky

Almost required reading for anyone posting on #socialmedia regardless if it's #Mastodon #BlueSky or X. https://notes.neatnik.net/2024/01/the-power-to-not via Adam Newbold. Time and replace for everything. Trick is knowing when which is usually far less than one initially reasons. Usually the question "will my response be welcomed or considered" is enough. ☮️

The "Who To Follow on #Mastodon For #WordPress folks" page is still alive and kicking, if you weren't aware. https://wp-community-on-mastodon.wptoots.social/

MastoFeed is a #RSS to #Mastodon service. https://mastofeed.org/

Listening to a #JSParty episode about #HTMX. Learning about it for the first time, but based on all the hate i'm seeing from #JavaScript folks on #Mastodon about it, it's worth seeing that this is. https://changelog.com/jsparty/307 #podcast #webdev

The best social network right now (at least in terms of "what makes me feel 💯") for me isn't #Mastodon, Twitter, etc. but a (relatively small) #Slack (one of the few Slacks i'm active on).

Question to my tech people on #Mastodon: My wife and daughter are building an app for web/iPhone/Android that requires storage of text/CSV files in a *secure* #database or storage via a service. Not AWS. Not preferably iCloud. Is there a service that can JUST provide SECURE storage with an API? Files contain records of students,…

Some folks on #Mastodon right now. #Threads #Fediverse #ActivityPub

Not surprising, but one can't deny that @w3c leaving #Twitter is another tip of the hat to #webdev tech growing on #Mastodon. In the past year I think I've gradually stopping hearing "find us on Twitter" statements at the end of all the dev podcasts too.
-
Best tips I've heard on how #Mastodon can welcome people migrating from other social network. Summarizing: – Don't say "about time".– Avoid "well you're here now, so welcome."– Best: don't mention any other social network at all. Welcome them. Answer questions. Be helpful. Mentioning where they're coming from, even in passing can seem unintentionally smug.…

It's funny to some #Mastodon and Bluesky users that say (rightly so) "these are good numbers" with thousands+ new users come to their platforms per week but poo poo Meta with it's 70+ million with #Threads (which I don't have $0.02 on yet). If you don't care about your social network size, then not sure…

Mastodon: Join us it's not hard. Also Mastodon: Here's six links on how to pick a server, find friends, follow people, getting started & how you should act. That being said,I heard a good analogy from @davatron5000 on Shop Talk Show podcast: "#Mastodon is like a HOA (home owner's association) – you moved in and…

#Twitter is freaking out about #Tweetdeck, logins, and rate limits. #Mastodon is freaking out on Threads. #Bluesky… calm or poking fun, not up to freak levels yet. #Fediverse as a whole steady as she goes. No judgements here just observations.
-
Nice to see a few new faces here on #Mastodon. Also seeing faces and more follows on #Bluesky too. It's not THE #TwitterMigration but it's def. one!

Just a reminder: I share #WordPress news/links on wpfront.page (follow via RSS too). I’m at #Mastodon: phpc.social/@davidbisset I’m on #Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/davidb…

#Mastodon search (both for keywords and for users) is such a poor experience. I kinda of understand the challenges, but I would be following 2x as many people I think if i could get a decent search and be able to follow easily. For some, getting on board a social network (say away from Twitter)…

Looks like some Twitter folks trying #Mastodon and #Bluesky this weekend. Seeing more numbers on Bluesky and some more people I recognize there appear (still invite only). And looks like Bluesky performance issues have cleared up (all day yesterday was very slow but running like butter now, although it's 6am ET).

Reading @manton take on if/how #Mastodon #Fediverse should accept Meta (assuming if Meta ever gets to that point). https://www.manton.org/2023/06/27/lets-welcome-meta.html

Good read. "Decentralization isn't enough. It's about people." via @ben https://werd.io/2023/decentralization-isnt-enough-its-about-people "Decentralized protocols are infrastructure in the same way that servers are infrastructure. Nobody cares if a traditional social network is built on AWS or Google Cloud. What they care about is the community: can they follow people they’re interested in, can they engage in…

Not surprised the reaction to @gruber piece (actually more quoting Bloonface if anything) on #Mastodon growth (or lack of it) to be defensive, hostile, and rude. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/06/23/bloonface-twitter-migration John and Bloonface (who's article I suggest you read) ideas all don't set completely ok with me. But much of the jist is worthy to consider. And this…

#Reddit #Twitter…and so on. Again, own your own content. #Mastodon and #ActivityPub are nowhere near perfect but those plus #RSS are net gains for an open web.
-
Yeah @film_girl is exactly right. #Mastodon doesn't have to get "more followers than Twitter or be more popular than Bluesky to win". I don't think #Mastodon is going away and there are multiple winners. But as @ben points out: "Can a developer take your protocol, without permission or pushback, and build something meaningful in under…

Listened to the latest @atpfm and could relate to @marcoarment story about cheerleaders and social groups far too well (for me it was 5th grade). #Mastodon and #BlueSky are both places worthy of being a some part of – for now – for different reasons.
-
#Bluesky rolls out very very basic moderation tools today. But i'm actually more interested in some recent information shared about making your own algorithms. Unpopular opinion on #Mastodon but I think algorithms CAN BE USEFUL THINGS. Especially if you can create your *own* (which I do to various degrees on social), but not when they…
