if not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere
https://privacy.thenexus.today/if-not-now-when/
Mutual aid. Organizing. Sharing, contextualizing, and making meaning of news and health information to counter propaganda and information overload. The use cases for alternative social networks – not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's working with their cronies in authoritarian governments – practically write themselves in today's world. And with so many talented social scientists, designers, systems thinkers, and developers directly impacted by DOGE, MAGA, et al, there are a lot of people with the right skills for these new networks to make rapid progress.
The good news is there's a lot of promising work happening in the decentralized social media ecosystems known as the fediverses ("federated universes") and the ATmosphere (a fediverse built on Bluesky's AT protocol), including DAIR-tube, Blacksky, the #FreeFediverse, and more.
Still, as promising as these efforts are, there's still a long ways to go.
Time may wait for no man, but #ThePlaylist will, because it understands that you're tired and need a few minutes to catch up.
Yes! Everyone's favourite #Fediverse radio show has been refreshed once more and is ready for you to enjoy every last minute of its glory. The theme this week:
Time
And my word, did we not have enough of it. But we selected only the finest cuts and made two glorious hours of radio.

It's been eight years to the day since Lance Ulanoff, the storied Tech and Social Media Expert and an award-winning tech journalist, decided that Mastodon won't survive because William Shatner couldn't find him on here.
Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives:

Please join me in celebrating the annual Mastodon Won't Survive Day, right here on fedi. 
🧵
I 'boost' stuff I find interesting, or think needs more awareness, or is just damn funny.
I 'like' stuff to let the poster know I read it and appreciate/acknowledge/see the effort required to make the post. I may not agree with the sentiment but if it's in my locus of topics du jour I make an effort to acknowledge if relevant as an outlier.
Mastodon has no algorithms and I'm on a single user instance (i.e. just me!) so it is what it is - I guess. If you are offended by anything I post or respond to then let me know and we can talk about the topic.
Wir, die wir hier uns für das Fediversum entschieden haben, sollten die föderale #Kultur und den gegenseitigen #Respekt weiter pflegen. Es geht nicht um Masse, sondern um #Netzkultur. Alle, die eine offene, menschliche, gleichberechtigte und friedliche #Meinungsvielfalt unter Einhaltung der hier geltenden Server-#Regeln pflegen wollen, sind willkommen. So werden wir auch für andere attraktiv und werden wir auch organisch wachsen. Lasst uns gemeinsam darauf besinnen! #Mastodon #Fediverse

Western #imperialism comes in two flavours—#liberal and #conservative.
#Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, love imperialism in "liberal" flavour.
Donald Trump supplies only the "conservative" flavour of imperialism. He is also trying to shut down production of the "liberal" flavour.
Now you know why the Fedi hates Trump.

J'ai des demandes d'abonnement en suspens régulièrement. Je traite ça par vagues quand j'ai l'énergie. Des fois, ça met du temps…
Ce qui s'ajoute au relou de gérer ça, c'est les problèmes d'accessibilité que ça me pose parce que la plupart des instances (oui, je dois généralement regarder votre profil sur votre instance sinon ça m'affiche pas toujours des choses à jour) ne sont pas accessibles pour moi : contrastes trop faibles, mode sombre forcé par défaut au lieu de prendre en compte mes préférences…
Bref, Fediverse (ouais c'est pas que Mastodon), tu ferais bien de te mettre à l'accessibilité (si tu me dis que j'ai qu'à contribuer, je te bloque !).
Cool things you can do in Mastodon and perhaps you weren't aware of:
* Create an RSS link from any Mastodon profile
* Validate your profile easily using your personal domain
* Use a column interface à là Tweetdeck (RIP)
Share your favorite use cases!

Mastodon Pro Tip: Ever miss "that good post" you made a while back? Just search for it! Type in the search bar:
from:me word
And there it is.
Have you been Nicoled yet?
