Because the federation is disturbing for casual users, it seems normal to

remind ourselves of what social media used to be: a way to connect around shared interests, talk to friends, and discover new content. No grifts, no viral fame, no drama.

The barrier to be free on the web is highly correlated to the level of expertise.

You could loosely map some of them by how easy it is to get started if you have no technical knowledge. [...] The more independence a technology gives you, the higher its barrier for adoption.

Owning, control and independance on the web should be just as easy as signing up for a cellphone plan.

One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse.

Feedbacks from user of Bluesky that tried Mastodon :)

#idea #project : make a UX map of a Mastodon experience that is ... more alive

Mastodon can support a wide variety of media files

A good job 😃

and a reference to the currently very small Blue Dwarf social network

Je sais qu'on a toujours reproché aux GAFAM de ne pas utiliser des standards, et on gueule maintenant que Facebook veut utiliser ActivityPub et se joindre au Fediverse ?
Bien sûr qu'on gueule ! Absolument TOUS les GAFAM qui ont fait mine d'utiliser un standard l'ont détourné, tordu et rendu incompatible, afin de séparer les communautés. Les exemples sont légion.

Chaque fois qu'un GAFAM arrive à avoir la majorité des utilisateurs d'un protocole, il tue la concurrence.

L'exemple est le mail: en respectant tous les standards, vous serez catégorisé comme SPAM par gmail ou Apple.

A simple CSS code to check bot messages on social media (mastodon).

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

... excellent :D

A list of tools for Mastodon. It can surely be improved!

A web client for Mastodon.

The (not yet) open-sourced web app: https://github.com/elk-zone/elk
And the desktop one built with tauri: https://github.com/elk-zone/elk-native

A way to understand Mastodon.

Une instance, celle d'ataxya :)

Shows custom emoji for Mastodon/Pleroma instances

and the repository link: https://github.com/iliana/emojos.in.

The UI is minimalist and can be improved :)

A service to link a mastodon account with a twitter one

A FLOSS multi-account Mastodon and Pleroma desktop client

Eh oui, finalement Pleroma semble meilleur dans beaucoup de domaines.
