Was für eine Erleichterung, stelle ich im Nachhinein fest, dass ich gleich zu Beginn mit Friendica in Berührung gekommen bin. Ich hatte "damals" zwischen "sowas wie Facebook", "sowas wie Instagram" und das dritte habe ich schon wieder vergessen (siehe Signatur) wählen können. Ich hatte mich für "sowas wie Facebook" entschieden und damit Friendica gewählt. Diese "Freiheit" mit Friendica möchte ich nicht mehr missen, auch diese Flexibilität (in meinen Augen).
Nun geht mein Blick auf die Anzahl...
Und das wären jetzt 500 Zeichen gewesen. Tja, 500 Zeichen können verdammt wenig sein, man soll es nicht meinen. Für etliche meiner Post hätten 500 Zeichen im Leben nicht gereicht, ich hätte also alles an Text sehr "zusammenpressen" müssen und hätte mich nicht frei ausdrücken können. (wir sind mittlerweile übrigens schon bei 859 Zeichen mit dem Punkt).
Keine Ahnung, warum sich manche in eine so enge Kiste pressen lassen, aber muss ja auch jeder für sich selbst wissen (992 Zeichen).
Hier noch Zeichen 1060 - 1066 (einfach, weil ich's kann):
Ach, die Hashtags nicht zu vergessen: #Friendica, #Fediverse, #Microblogging, #Freiheit
(Das waren nun insgesamt 1188 Zeichen. Der Clown mit inbegriffen. (1216)
Jaaa, ich bin ja schon ruhig... duckundweg (1275)
Da sind sie wieder, meine drei Probleme: Vergesslichkeit, Dings und das andere.

Tired of all of the "bloat" and "features" of Mastodon? Want something that's way less user friendly?
Here's twtxt, "a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers."
> You want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick way while also following the gibberish of others? Instead of signing up at a closed and/or regulated microblogging platform, getting your status updates out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file.

[This seems like a silly thing that I do not care to use. But I DID like discovering https://docs.asciinema.org/ from its docs]
"We may no longer be a epistemologically literate society any more but #books still have value to enough of us for them to still be a business. However, the problem lies in finding ways to promote & sell because #microblogging only lends itself to promoting texts & creators that have a strong element of #showmanship.
I am pondering whether, again paradoxically, video & podcasts might not lend themselves better to promoting and selling books than newsletters and blogs."

Quel futur pour Bluesky ?
J'avais rassemblé plein de notes pour un article sur les réseaux sociaux en mode fédération et/ou décentralisation, autour de Threads, du Fediverse (Mastodon...), et bien évidemment de Bluesky. Avec l'actualité récente de cette plateforme, sa dernière levée de fonds en particulier, il me semble plus simple de faire un billet séparé, où je vais tenter de couvrir le volet "entreprise" d'une part, [...]

@bolschewik The entire point of #ActivityPub is that different kinds of software can talk to each other.
If you cram all features into #Mastodon even though it's a #microblogging platform (and not, for example, a Facebook-like #macroblogging social network like #Friendica), it's going to at best become an unfocused mess of stitched together systems, or become a vulnerable monopoly suppressing all other federated software at worst.
Lots of close contacts don't share the interest in Mastodon. But these are also contacts that aren't/weren't Twitter or microblogging users, but relatively frequent social media network users. Microblogging isn't an activity they cater to. And that's okay.

#Mastodon vs Bluesky. #microblogging #alternatives. Which one is better? They both seem like valid micro logging platforms but I like Mastodon's decentralization and app variety. I think Bluesky might have a higher user base but not sure. Also Bluesky is by one of the cocreators of Twitter. Both are viable.
Regarding the current #microblogging landscape, we need more optimistic views like the one offered by @tchambers in his post "A quick overview of the microblogging landscape". For those of us who have quite a few doubts about #Bluesky being the solution to Twitter, this kind of positive reasoning is welcome.

J’ai les doigts qui puent l’ail, mais ma vinaigrette est une tuerie. #MicroBlogging
Je n’aurais peut-être pas dû manger des mogettes *et* des pruneaux.
Can’t believe that Twitter has this bone-headed & petty policy:

The priorities and values of @mosseri & co - along with the results - are baked into the operating #FirstPrinciples.
The #culture of the #Instagram user base started as a visual medium: posts of photos from bars and restaurants.
#Threads is a #productmanagement descendant of IG.
It is not an organization that inherently groks #microblogging, or #ContentModeration, really.

Mastodon 4.3 - Mehr Sicherheit und ein frischer Look
Die neue Version des Microblogging-Dienstes bietet Verbesserungen bei den Benachrichtigungen, dem Design, bei der Anmeldung und hilft den Autoren.
#Mastodon #Microblogging #Linux

This is just Threads returning to its roots as a visual medium.
Meta culture has never grokked #microblogging and never will.
