Manche Menschen bevorzugen Mastodon – einige von ihnen sind fest davon überzeugt, während andere das gesamte Fediverse noch gar nicht richtig kennen. Dann gibt es wiederum diejenigen, die sich darüber aufregen, dass so viel über Mastodon geredet wird, weil sie selbst das ganze Fediverse schätzen und es nicht mögen, wenn eine Plattform so stark im Fokus steht.

Aber mal ehrlich, liebe Leute: Könnt ihr nicht einfach akzeptieren, dass jede:r Nutzer:in ihre bzw. seine eigene Meinung und Entscheidung hat? Muss wirklich jede Diskussion darüber ausarten, ob Mastodon „die eine“ Plattform ist oder ob es nicht vielmehr um das gesamte Fediverse gehen sollte? Könnt ihr nicht einfach zulassen, dass jede:r ihre oder seine eigene Reise durch das Fediverse macht – mit all den Umwegen, Entdeckungen und persönlichen Vorlieben?

Natürlich ist es schön, wenn ihr die für euch passende Plattform gefunden habt. Aber warum reicht es dann nicht aus, sich einfach darüber zu freuen, anstatt immer wieder zu betonen, wie falsch es angeblich ist, von Mastodon zu sprechen, anstatt das Fediverse als Ganzes zu nennen? Oder gar darüber zu urteilen, dass manche bewusst bei Mastodon bleiben wollen?

Und ihr, die Mastodon-Hardliner – auch ihr dürft es gerne etwas entspannter angehen lassen. Es ist großartig, wenn euch Mastodon begeistert, aber man muss aus dem Rüsseltier keine Religion machen. Ja, Mastodon ist eine tolle Plattform, aber auch die anderen Netzwerke haben ihre Vorzüge – genauso wie sie ihre Schwächen haben. Und genau deshalb haben sie alle ihre Berechtigung. Dieser ewige „Klassenkampf“ zwischen den Plattform-Nutzer:innen ist auf Dauer einfach nur ermüdend und bringt niemanden weiter.

Lasst die Menschen doch einfach in ihrem eigenen Tempo das Fediverse erkunden. Jede:r geht diesen Weg anders – einige bleiben bei Mastodon, andere ziehen weiter und probieren Neues aus.

Ich selbst habe damals auch mit Mastodon angefangen. Jahrelang war es mein Zuhause, bevor ich begann, andere Plattformen zu erkunden. Manche fand ich großartig, andere haben mir überhaupt nicht gefallen. Und am Ende? Da bin ich wieder bei Mastodon gelandet – weil es mir persönlich einfach am besten gefällt.

Also, genießt das, was ihr nutzt, freut euch über eure Community – und gesteht allen anderen dasselbe zu. 😊

@theking@mskey.nekomimi.party Install Vivaldi Browser. Give it notification permission. Visit your Fediverse Site, login, and when asked, if you want to allow notifications, say, yes. Click the Vivaldi logo next to the address bar, click on add page too, and select your home screen, then select "install".

You now have your own app for Sharkey. This will work for Misskey, CherryPick, and Mastodon too.

@PaulaToThePeople It isn't just a matter of consent. Besides, for example, I do have quote-post control here on Hubzilla.

I can give permission to quote-post my posts to
  • everyone in the Fediverse
  • everyone on Hubzilla and (streams)
  • everyone on this hub
  • approved and unapproved connections
  • only approved connections
  • only those of my connections whom I explicitly give permission by contact role
  • nobody but myself

Over on (streams), I can still give that permission to
  • everyone in the Fediverse
  • all my connections
  • only myself + specific connections whom I grant that permission either by permission role or by individual connection settings

It's much more a matter of technology.

Mastodon is about to completely re-invent the wheel with a non-standard, Mastodon-only setting. This setting will only work within Mastodon simply because it probably won't even be documented anywhere, especially not before it's officially rolled out.

There simply is no way that every last instance of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, CherryPick, Catodon, Meisskey, Tanukey, Neko, dozens of other Misskey forks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte etc. etc. will have that setting implemented before Mastodon rolls it out so that even the users on mastodon.social are perfectly safe from the first second on.

Besides, @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️, creator of Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte and still the only maintainer of the latter two, will never introduce proprietary Mastodon features to them. He'd rather risk (streams) and Forte becoming incompatible with Mastodon. The same goes for @Mario Vavti and @Harald Eilertsen, Hubzilla's main maintainers.

If Mastodon wants to become a perfectly safe haven against unallowed quote-posting, it has only got one choice: It must introduce something like (streams)' and Forte's user agent filter and use it to block just everything that isn't Mastodon. Like, include a hard-coded allowlist that only includes Mastodon plus what little can't quote or quote-post anyway.

@PaulaToThePeople @Stefan Bohacek Keep one thing in mind:

Mastodon may not have quote-posts yet. But the Fediverse has quote-posts right now. And it has had them since before Mastodon was made.

Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, CherryPick, Catodon, Meisskey, Tanukey, Neko, dozens of other Misskey forks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte etc. etc., they all have quote-posts. They're all fully capable of quote-posting any Mastodon toot.

None of them has introduced quote-posts to harass Twitter refugees on Mastodon. At least Friendica and Hubzilla have had quote-posts since long before Mastodon was even made.

You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.

At least by Mastodon users.

But since this will be Mastodon re-inventing the wheel with brand-new, proprietary, Mastodon-only technology, everything I've listed above will still be able to quote-post anyone and anything on Mastodon with zero resistance.

To quote-post myself and the guy who invented Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte:

Jupiter Rowland schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sat, 20 Jul 2024 01:29:11 +0200 I think I've just chased someone out of the Fediverse.

That someone was afraid of Mastodon being "screwed over" by becoming quote-post-able.

I've told him the truth: Mastodon has been quote-post-able for as long as it has been around. Mastodon became quote-post-able the very moment it was launched.

That's because when Mastodon was launched, it immediately federated with Friendica which is from 2010, which had been around for almost six years at that point, and which has had quote-posts from its own inception AFAIK. Mastodon also immediately federated with Hubzilla which has had quote-posts since its own inception, since it had been forked from Friendica, and that was in 2012.

Mastodon has never been un-quote-post-able.

Right now, there are dozens of Fediverse server apps whose users can quote-post Mastodon toots with no resistance.

Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sat, 20 Jul 2024 03:18:39 +0200 The closest you'll ever get to making Mastodon un-quote-postable is to post privately. Not unlisted. Private. Most fediverse software will honour this today; and it doesn't require yet another "pretend permission". Like unlisted.

And Mike should know. He brought things to the Fediverse like actually working permissions. Including permissions on two levels to quote-post any content on a channel. Readily available right now at least on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.

Also, this is what people on Friendica and its descendants have been using quote-posts for since 2010.

You will be notified when someone quotes you.

You already are when someone on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) or Forte quote-posts one of your posts.

As for Pleroma, Misskey and their forks, you aren't notified right now, and I've got my doubts that you will be after this change.

Also, "quote" and "quote-post" are two different things. Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte can do both. "Quote" is what I'm doing right here. Whether or not you're notified depends on whether or not you're mentioned.

And blocking quotes is even less possible. A quote only consists of a pair of BBcode tags plus the quoted text in-between. And on Friendica and all its descendants, you don't work with a WYSIWYG editor by default, but you have to get your hands dirty on raw markup code.

You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.

Again, probably not if someone on Pleroma, Misskey or one of their forks quote-posts you.

And definitely not if someone on Friendica or one of its descendants quote-posts you.

The difference is that a quote-post on Pleroma, Misskey or one of their forks is actually a reference to the original. On Friendica and its descendants, a quote-post is an automatically generated dumb copy of the original.

Mastodon Dot Social

Is still using Fastly for their hosting services.

Fastly is headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA.

While the Mastodon Project is based out of Germany, the United States could still interfere with their website.

  • Calckey is deader than dead. It was forked into Firefish in 2023. Only few instances are still alive because their admins refused to move them to Firefish, and their numbers are dwindling further.
  • Firefish itself is dead. Official support and development ended on New Year's Eve. This month, the official server with the code repository and the lighthouse instance is scheduled to be shut down.
  • Sharkey is the most feature-rich. But first of all, its Mastodon client API implementation is said to be notoriously horrible. It seems to be difficult to connect it to a Mastodon app. Its developers are kind of shady; ask @Linux Is Best a.k.a. @Linux Is Best. Lastly, Sharkey's development is cosying up to Mastodon; the goal is to make it more like Mastodon. Not everyone likes that.
  • CherryPick is sometimes recommended. But it's a Japanese project just like Misskey itself, and AFAIK, except for one instance in the USA, all CherryPick instances are hosted in the greater Tokyo and Seoul areas.
  • A more common recommendation is Iceshrimp, and it seems to have the brightest future. It will soon no longer be a Misskey fork. It's currently being re-written from scratch in C# which appears to be the best way to get rid of the many issues that all Forkeys have inherited from Misskey. Its only "disadvantages" may be fewer features than Sharkey (but still more than Misskey) and its coming reliance on "Microsoft technology".

A friendly reminder,

The Fediverse, the social network you're using to avoid Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Blue Sky, is managed by real people, and not corporations. These real people, your administrator, pay for hosting so that you may share your thought, feelings, or just randomly sh-t post.

If you're financially able, take a moment to reach out to your administrator, and ask if they need help. Even a little bit can help.

@Kitty@kitty.social I disagree. You are not a "deadbeat administrator".

You're one of the better administrators on the Fediverse. Instead, you provided me and others a free platform to express freedom of speech, without hate speech, even if sometimes that speech may not have been something, you, yourself, personally, always agreed with. You took the time to make sure the site was always working, including the time to develop a script to converts the site from Sharkey to CherryPick. And you were always willing to have a friendly chit-chat or listen to one of your more vocal users, sound off on current events. And despite the fact that people offered to help pay for the site (myself, included), even when you were on a budget yourself, you continued to decline payment, and ran Kitty Dot Social out of pocket, while remaining ad-free.

There are a lot of administrators running Fedi sites, that, in my opinion, should not be running Fedi sites. You're not one of them. You're exactly who you need to be, and exactly what the Fediverse needs more of. I would still be on Kitty Dot Social, right now, if it was not for the local laws in your area changing, which is no fault to your own.

Do not ever think less of yourself, and never let anyone put you down. Because even in your uncertainty, here you are, once again, putting others first, trying to find a way to keep the site going.
