Evan Prodromou, who helped inspire & create the #ActivityPub protocol that makes @Mastodon run, called this recent #Twittermigration a “tipping point”.

“I have not been this excited about federated social networks since we published ActivityPub. The shift has started. … We’re doing this. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.” @evan

@Niklaas80s L'instance est présentement sous 3.5.3.

Une mise à jour vers la v4 est prévue ainsi qu'une mise à niveau matérielle. Ce sera probablement jeudi durant la nuit. Une annonce sera diffusée pour vous avertir du downtime.

Precedents like the German government running a Mastodon server are important beyond the obvious reasons. They reinforce the urgency of serious public funding for open code.

If we treated open code as part of the essential infrastructure of the 21st century and funded it at billions of USD/EUR as opposed to tiny grants here and there, the "fediverse" model of interconnected, self-governing communities would become the norm, not the exception.

Our new https://pixelfed.org website and server directory took longer than expected 😅

We are now focusing on improving federation support and releasing the Android app beta! #pixelfed

I am frustrated, but maybe someone on the fediverse can help me

I am mute and the text to speech app on our phone no longer has a setting that sounds like a robot

I do not want to sound like a lady or a man

I liked the computer-y sounding voice and there is no longer a setting for it

and the free one in the browser also does not have a robotic/computer setting either

I understand why these things exist

but it is not enjoyable for me

is there one left with an unnatural robot setting?

The numbers of users is going up while the number of instances is not. We need more instances running in the network, thats the real idea of decentralization.

In case you are not confident running Funkwhale, our Support Forum and Chat are available to help you getting up and running! :) 🐳

Petit pouet #presentation: je suis #sociologue et je vis à Montréal. Plusieurs sujets me passionnent et sont au coeur de mes recherches :
- le « devenir adulte » et la place réservée aux #jeunes dans nos sociétés,
- la #colère sociale sous ses différentes formes (des révoltes individuelles aux #mouvementssociaux),
- et les expériences de la #solitude au fil des âges de la vie.
Je conduis ces recherches à l’Université de Montréal, où je suis professeure.
Au plaisir de futurs pouets!
