btw when you're used to a DE QWERTZ keyboard and you want to type a :) on a US QWERTY it comes out as a >( and that's exactly how I feel about the layouts respectively, no kidding.
So hang on, all that recent #Federation / #activitypub development means that ultimately we'd have a kind of supercharged #RSS that allows us to have an account wherever we want and aggregate the remote microblogging + blogging + videos + pic thread + audio of the federated accounts/profiles/channels that we want?
Please say yes? #fediverse #pleroma #peertube #mastodon #funkwhale #pixelfed
Yay after about ten days without links to the Fediverse, our small instance is federating again. If anyone is wondering, an update from 2.3 to 2.4 did it. Thanks @pierreozoux !
Now, time to retoot the toots that disappointingly got no reactions 😉 (does that even work though?)
hey everybody! just wanted to let people know that thanks to everybody who contributed to #500pieces we saved THREE TERABYTES of open, cc-licensed images from 500px over only two days!

You can view the hard work of the volunteers at the IA collection, including dozens of people who heard about it specifically from mastodon. Thanks to @eq for providing the initial mastodon call for action!
I dont accept ads, or aggressive brand/s accts or paid toots (I’ve been approached) but I do support free & #opensource programs. We have some amazing creative orgs represented on the #Fediverse thru 
#Mastodon’s super-scalable #ActivityPub implementation.
If you havent tried them then you’re missing out (a-z). U have control over ur social & creative lives w #FLOSS
@Blender
#DarkTable
@GIMP 
@inkscape 
@Krita
@ubuntustudio
Others?
@pierreozoux @ToSDR @rmdes @bepolymathe Salut les locaux ! Dites, vous avez pas remarqué que récemment personne en dehors de l'instance nous voit ? J'en parle sur le forum #IndieHost: https://forum.indie.host/t/federation-issue-with-mastodon-nothing-getting-out-of-the-instance/2371
hmmm sorry but... #test? Does anyone get this? Not sure if very unpopular toots for 8 days or if actual issue 😁
"Facebook-quitters will likely rejoin the network after a hiatus, if they haven’t stayed on Whatsapp and Instagram anyway. With too much symbolic campaigning and virtue signaling, the current Anti-Facebook wave is doomed to remain a storm in the teapot." Florian Cramer here https://amsterdamalternative.nl/articles/5518

ICE might be putting out notices to scare us, but this camp is still here and we are still strong and we are NOT FUCKING MOVING.
We are here for each other and to do what we can. Join us!

.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.
If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:
