I've been listening to these radio channels the past few weeks. It's quirky, it's weird, it's wild. I definitely recommend them to get out of your usual music bubble.
Neat early experiments on query OSM for nearest potential point of interests and of geolocation support in ActivityPub implementations.
A good exploration of the Fediverse to Bluesky bridging debate from the angle of consent and the GDPR. It's complicated and that shouldn't come as unexpected.
Neat extension to blend your web browsing and discovering people on the Fediverse.
A little experiment to better understand how ActivityPub works.
Looks like the BBC likes the fediverse experiment so far. Engagement is even better than on Twitter at times. Let's hope they keep expanding.
Interesting notes, there seems to be good faith on the Meta side for now... but this leaves more questions than answers still.
Interesting stats, not that easy to gather. This gives a good overview of where the fediverse instances are hosted though.
Indeed there are a few trends at play right now which lead to RSS being in use again. I can only hope it'll keep growing.
Despite understandable limitations, this studies has a few interesting findings on how communities can more easily switch platforms (in this case from Twitter to Mastodon). At least one is a bit counter-intuitive.
As Threads being connected to the Fediverse might turn into a reality, this article becomes all the more important. The question of this connection being even desirable is an important one.
Looks like Meta is moving forward with more ActivityPub compatibility for Threads. This raises real questions about what they genuinely want to implement and what they'll abandon along the way.
More organizations leaving Twitter (now X... rofl). It's a good thing and a logical step if you take values and code of conduct into account. It clearly became a cesspool from what I see.
This is nice to see how easy it is to make sure a WordPress blog appears on the Fediverse. Hopefully will bring lots of activity.
This is a huge thing for the ferdiverse. Let's see where this leads.
The first signs of journalism finding some independence from social media? That would be very welcome.
This is an interesting move from the BBC. We can only theorize on the reasons but that's a positive example of a successful fediverse presence so far.
Interesting look at the challenges ahead for the fediverse. Not easy since some of this is cultural clash, some of it is technical and solvable though.
Welcome to the Fediverse! It's just an experiment for now, let's hope they stay longer.
It's definitely tempting me to switch my blog comments to the fediverse as well.
