Relax, #fediverse, they'll all be back on Twitter in about two weeks. They always go back. Always. -

And honestly, I'm a bit gleeful that this time it is #mastodon-run instances that crash under the load and not, like in the past, the tiny #GNUsocial instances. This time we're away from the sea spray, and some megalomaniacal "developers" of Mastodon face the brunt. -

If you want an easy to use tool for your social media activities, don't use the #fediverse. Stay with your instagrams, tiktoks, whatever. Better: Stay with Twitter. You'll be better off there than wasting your time learning the basics to have a decent fediverse experience. -

But this is what I already said 7 years ago, when Mastodon wasn't even on the federated scenery and #GNUsocial was the big animal in town, suffering waves of Twitter refugess, that always receded, like ebb and flow. Always. https://simsa01.wordpress.com/2015/12/10/some-reasons-perhaps-not-to-join-gnu-social-and-the-fediverse/ . -

The only long-lasting impact #mastodon run instances will have is to be so unbearable to use for refugees from Twitter that they'll all turn back immediatedly, convinced that even a Musk-Twitter is better than this whole nonsense of mastodon-run instances. The #fediverse is doing Musk a big favour. -

And, via @band's reply to you, whom I subscribe to, it shows up in gnusocial.net as well. Welcome. -

Oh, a list of all #German #government offices and ministries that have an account in the #fediverse: https://social.bund.de/explore
Are there other governments with a comparable list? -

Bit late for that now, but there have been a lot of Spanish linux distros, maintained by the regional governments for citizens, libraries, nursing homes, and small and middle sized companies (accounting, HR, etc.) . It's all about 10 years ago, but perhaps there are still some projects useful today.

For example, DMs from a mastodon based instance to gs.net works fine but I cannot send DMs from gs.net to that instance vice versa. Also, notes from mastodon and pleroma instance happen to not arrive which is why I often ask you to run the script. But you're right, "not possible" is too strong a generalisation, not taking into accounts glitches and admin choices of happy-blocking. -

Yes, in theory gnusocial supports supports ActivityPub; in practice it's wobbly and to many instances federationj is not possible (most often with Pleroma instances). It's not that simple. NAyway, fingers crossed for your new instance. -

A while back I was thinking about setting up a single user instance via mastohost. Turned out they use the newest Mastodon software (back then it was v3) and told me that because the newest version had dropped OStatus support, federation with gnusocial instances would not be possible. Don't know if that is still the case, but it was sufficient for me to look after an instance that, at least in principle and when everything works fine, supports ActivityPub and OStatus. -

Why is Germany in constant need to be applauded for its aid and support to Ukraine? My guess is: Germany doesn't want to face the ugly fact that it is primarily responsible for Ukraine's devastation and the exodus of 12 millions Ukrainians from their homeland. Germany (and France) at the NATO summit in Bucharest (Romania) in 2008 stalled Ukraine's application for membership against the push by the U.S. Had Ukraine become a NATO member, the current war could have been avoided. But Germany didn't want to offend as well as provoke Russia, and the result is a war of extermination. -

Russia removes its troops from the city of Kherson and "evacuates" (i.e., deports) civilians to the eastern bank of the Dnieper river. Even as resupply and reinforcement of soldiers is difficult to provide in this area, for Russia to simply give up this strategically important city (and area) that controls the water supplies to Crimea makes little sense. To me it rather looks like Russia prepares the ground for the deployment of "dirty nukes". ("If we can't have it, then the Ukrainians definitely won't get it" has been the maxim of the Russian warfare all along.) -

Don't take it too much to heart. It's not your fault and it doesn't lessen your great work you do with this instance. gnusocial.net is a welcoming instance with a hospitable atmosphere, and this to no little amount thanks to you. -

Just gave Elon Musk a few tips how to increase revenues from his new platform and this jerk didn't even reply. What a cheek. -

He seems to confuse mastodon (the software) with ActivityPub (the protocol).
Over on Twitter it's also a struggle against windmills to explain that Mastodon (the software) is not mastodon.social (the instance), and that, accordingly, not all instances using Mastodon (the software) are identical with mastodon.social (the instance). Incredible.
