It's often assumed that because Twitter has a larger userbase than the Fediverse, that accounts would automatically get more followers there.

However, many accounts (especially FOSS projects) have more followers here on the Fediverse.

Some examples (as of 26th July 2021):

@fdroidorg has 10.8k vs 7.33k on Twitter

@k9mail has 1.57k vs 680 on Twitter

@Minetest has 1.39k vs 785 on Twitter

If you know any Libre projects that are yet to join the Fedi, please ask them to give it a go!

Hey #Fediverse! Like so many other #FreeSoftware projects, keeping #FDroid up and running is a community effort. Have you ever contributed to any #FLOSS Project?

Fork Awesome is a Libre font project which has hundreds of useful icons that anyone can use. You can follow at:

➡️ @forkawesome

The project's website is at https://forkaweso.me

(As its name suggests, it's a fork of the original Font Awesome project. Unlike Font Awesome, Fork Awesome does not require javascript.)

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and GNU stands for GNU’s Not UNIX and UNIX stands for Uniplexed Information and Computing Service so the full proper name for GIMP is actually:

GNU’s Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service Image Manipulation Program

Stell dir vor bei einer #Flutkatastrophe sterben mind. 143 Menschen und der CDU-Kanzlerkandidat hat nichts besseres zu tun als rumzuspaßen, während der Bundespräsident den Flutopfern sein Beileid ausspricht. 🤡🤬🤬

Da die finanziellen Folgen beträchtlich sind, wird Laschet auf Wirtschaftswachstum setzen. Da er darin schon Erfahrung hat, schlage ich die beschleunigte Förderung von Kohle vor. Das einhergehende Waldroden schafft zusätzliche Arbeitsplätze (Baumfäller, Polizisten). Wenn er Glück hat, findet er Kohle unter einer der zerstörten Dörfer oder Städte. Dann braucht man die gar nicht mehr aufbauen.

It's great that Apple is taking steps in the right direction when it comes to privacy, but it's still 100% motivated by profit and they're still just a Big Tech firm.

Don't get sucked into the spin.

Congrats Valve for releasing #SteamDeck! Thank you for choosing Plasma!

Only as little information about your Threema ID as technically possible is stored on our servers, and you can retrieve it at any time:

Send “info” to *MY3DATA (or tap here: https://threema.id/%2AMY3DATA?text=info).

We don't think anybody can really be trusted with access to a database containing the private information of billions of people.

Least of all Facebook employees.

Thanks to the generous help of the previous owner of the mastodon username on GitHub, our GitHub organization has finally been renamed to mastodon! 🎉

I know that changing the repository URL is a bother but I think it’s worth it and better done sooner than later. Tootsuite was not serious and had no connection to our actual name.
