Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"
I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @tchambers

Do you have any musician friends? Do you know any bands? Do you play in a band yourselves? Tell them to join the Federation. You can also send them to me. I HATE having to discover new bands on #YouTube and #Facebook. IT'S WRONG!

How is the #fediverse doing? If you wanted to support a community using #free and #federated software, what would you use? A #mastodon instance? Something else?
@harld Could we please add

For instant Messaging apps, as an alternative to Whatsapp, Signal etc..
It should have a Non-US ( #Element is based in UK), and a Privacy label.
Also, it is #opensource and #federated
Although many people are flocking to #signal now (which is a lot better then Whatsapp), Signal can not be controlled by US government, it can be taken down by them. At this point, even that should be taken into account.
Element uses the #Matrix protocol. It is awsum

@elduvelle #Signal is #centralized - just like #Twitter, #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Threema, etc - and therefore exactly as vulnerable to #enshittification. Its popularity also makes it a tempting target for backdoors.
I urge people to use #XMPP instead, which is #federated like the Fediverse and has no single point of failure. It uses the same end-to-end encryption algorithm as Signal.

Senne, a video producer, has joined Exquisite.tube and just uploaded their first music video: Funky Tears :: WZA - take a look and give it a listen, I think it is fantastic.
The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.
With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

We need a method for #federated (though not necessarily #ActivityPub) GPX sharing that can be integrated into popular #OpenStreetMap mapping apps!
Posting and pinning this because Soatok's misinformation has infected far too many. *Everyone* needs to read this in its entirety, *especially* all the #Signal Kool-Aid drinkers.

*And* the response from OMEMO author Tim Henke, which Soatok saw fit to redact from their post comments.

Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.
A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.
Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse
Anyone aware of #foss and preferably #federated alternative to #AllTrails?
Introducing fedepedia.org!
This is a federated wiki instance powered by ibis. My goal is to collect and organize some Fediverse-related content here, but I'm totally cool with it hosting other entries too :)
Since it's federated, anyone from any instance (as long as that instance isn’t blocked) can edit entries here. That said, since there aren’t any articles yet, you'll need to register on this instance and create one before you can start editing.
This account will be sharing more updates about the instance. I really hope I can keep it running for a while so that it at least becomes another simple Fediverse wiki :P
That feeling, when you finally get rid of...

Twitter

Hats off to all the #cooperatives and #federated folks doing cool things right now to address some of what’s mentioned in this article.

2) I found a searxng instance I wanted to use:
https://searx.space/
3) I added it as a new option in my Firefox for the default search engine:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine
And now I can have the searxng of my choice set as my default search engine.
2/2 end
As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.
I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).
1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:
