# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Long I will continue to describe my images by hand. I will not resort to have them described by an AI, no matter how much time that'd save. I see more than any AI because while the AI only has the image, I can look at the real deal. And I know more about the topic than any AI ever will.
AI can't pinpoint where exactly I've taken an image because it knows nothing about the worlds that my images are from. I can, and I will, and while I'm at it, I'll explain the location down to the very basics.
AI doesn't know what an OpenSimWorld beacon is. I know, and I can and will explain it.
AI can't transcribe the text on a sign that's a four-by-three-pixel blot in my image. I can and will transcribe it because when I look at it in-world, I can see its 1024-by-768-pixel texture in all its glory.
As for WCAG: They don't cover the special case of 3-D virtual world renderings posted into the Fediverse from something that is not Mastodon, and that offers vastly more characters than Mastodon.
The only alternative to posting my images with hand-written descriptions is to not post them at all.

Christmas is over, and so is almost the year. Snow-covered themes are being shut down again, and it won't be long after New Year's Day that OpenSim is back to its usual eternal summer until October. And then we'll have one month of autumn in a few places because autumn and Halloween are basically the same here.
Good thing there are a few exceptions. 's Novale on his own grid probably still changes its seasons along with real-life Qubec. Jimmy Olsen's Norge in the Wolf Territories shares its weather and daycycle with real-life northern Norway his Alfheim used to do the same. And there are a few permanent winter or Christmas places Dorenas World has three of them.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # Yes, you do. And you'd better write good, accurate, sufficiently detailed alt-text by hand.
AI is not nearly reliable enough to describe every image properly. In particular, AI cannot describe images within the context of a post.
If you don't add proper alt-text to your images:
Judge for yourself whether not describing your images is worth all this.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Because most went Instagram -> Pixelfed without ever having been on Mastodon.
As opposed to Twitter -> Mastodon -> being lectured about Mastodon's culture -> Pixelfed.
Not everyone in the Fediverse has first been on Mastodon. For example, many Friendica users came from Facebook, and they did so long before Mastodon was even launched. Most Hubzilla users got there from Friendica after having been on Facebook first.
Both Friendica and Hubzilla have their very own cultures that predate Mastodon's, and they will never throw away their own cultures in favour of Mastodon's. For that'd also mean abstaining from most of their own features because Mastodon's culture either doesn't cover these features or explicitly forbids them.
Just in case you wonder why image posts from one of these rarely have alt-texts.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Und da wundern sich dann die Leute, warum ich teilweise 10, 15, 20 Hashtags oder mehr unter einem einzelnen Beitrag habe.
Die dienen mindestens zur Hlfte dazu, meine Beitrge zu filtern. Ich schreibe ja sehr viel Zeugs, was vielleicht nicht unbedingt jeder lesen will.
Beispielsweise schreibe ich hufig bers Fediverse, das heit dann aber nicht, da ich nur ber Mastodon und dann auch noch positiv darber schreibe. Wenn, dann schreibe ich entweder ber Sachen, die nicht Mastodon und deshalb ziemlich obskur sind, oder ber Mastodon eher negativ oder beides.
Generell schreibe ich hufig sehr lang. Da, wo ich bin (Hubzilla), gibt es weder ein 500-Zeichen-Limit noch irgendein definiertes Zeichenlimit noch eine Kultur, alles schn kurz zu halten. Das stt aber vielen Mastodon-Nutzern sauer auf, die der felsenfesten berzeugung sind, Eugen Rochko habe das Fediverse als Mikrobloggingdienst erfunden (hat er nicht). Also gibt's auch hier wieder Hashtags zum Filtern.
Was hier aber schon sehr viel lnger Teil der Kultur ist, als es Mastodon berhaupt gibt, ist, sich individuelle CWs mittels Wortfilter vollautomatisch generieren zu lassen, statt da sie im Zusammenfassungsfeld allen gleichermaen aufgezwungen werden. Deswegen dopple ich viele Hashtags mit "CW" am Anfang, um klarzumachen, da sie genau dafr sind. Diejenigen, die sich ihre eigenen CWs generieren lassen, knnen dann meine Hashtags dafr nehmen.
Dann kommt noch dazu, da es fr viele Sachverhalte einfach irre viele Hashtags gibt und ich nicht vorher wissen kann, wer jetzt welches dieser Hashtags filtert. Das fhrt zu noch mehr Hashtags zum Auslsen von Filtern.
Alleine, um einen Beitrag mit mehr als 500 Zeichen zu markieren, brauche ich vier Hashtags und noch einmal zwei dazu, wenn er auf Deutsch ist. Wenn ich generell ber das Fediverse schreibe, brauche ich noch einmal vier. Und so weiter.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Na ja, Plume hat einen speziellen Status.
Bei den *keys gibt's welche, die einfach eingeschlafen sind, bekanntesterweise Calckey. Ansonsten ist es blich, da Software offiziell abgekndigt wird (Firefish, /kbin, alles zwischen Hubzilla und (streams), letztilch auch Lotide, irgendwann auch Iceshrimp-JS etc.), wenn die Entwicklung eingestellt werden soll.
Plume ist ja eigentlich noch in Entwicklung, nur haben beide Entwickler im Moment keine Zeit dafr. Aber sie haben das Projekt nicht gnzlich aufgegeben, d. h. wenn sie wieder Zeit haben, wollen sie weitermachen. Das ist auch gut, weil Plume leider WriteFreely in kritischen Features (Kommentare, eingebauter Filespace fr Bilder) schlgt.
WriteFreely ist im Moment am ehesten interessant, wenn man den schlichten, aufgerumten Stil von Medium haben und eh keine Bilder posten will und auch an Kommentaren nicht interessiert ist. Auerdem kommt man nur schwer rein, was wohl daran liegt, da WriteFreely von Spambots berrannt wird.
Wer nicht selbst hosten will, ist im Moment bei Friendica oder Hubzilla am besten aufgehoben, je nachdem, wie man lngere Texte posten will.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # Ideally, one day, the highly advanced permissions system available on Hubzilla (based on Zot, ActivityPub optional), (streams) (based on Nomad, ActivityPub optional) and Forte (based on ActivityPub) would be cast into one or multiple FEPs.
This would solve this issue by not only controlling who receives a DM, but also who is permitted to see the DM. In combination with FEP-171b Conversation Containers (which was invented on (streams), inherited by Forte and backported to Hubzilla), the permissions of the DM would be inherited by all comments and replies to the DM with no way of ever changing these permissions anywhere in the conversation.
See, if I send a DM to Alice and Bob, then only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to see the DM. Also, only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to participate in the conversation, and Alice, Bob and I can see each comment and reply, but only the three of us are permitted to see them. The entire conversation has the exact same permissions all over, inherited from the initial DM.
Anyone of us can mention Carol all we want. But that does not give her permission to see anything in the conversation, not even the comment/reply that mentions her. Once the initial DM is out, its permissions are set in stone, and it's also set in stone that any and all follow-ups in the same conversation have the same permissions as the initial DM.
This does not even require encryption. That said, at least Hubzilla does offer encryption on top of the permissions system however, it's only compatible within Hubzilla AFAIK.

It's 3D Saturday for me but I've decided to end up with (somewhat) last shot in 2025 (so far), which was done on December 17th. I don't have any new 3D shots anyway!
It wasn't a stroll, but rather an idea for a long exposure that I've been thinking of for a while. As soon as I got ready to leave the house to the playground around the corner, it started to rain. However, I've decided to continue, putting the camera under my jacket to protect it from the rain, while other stuff in a plastic bag.
The idea was to do a long exposure for this playground leaving the breeze or wind to shake the swings. Strangely, it was raining, but not much wind or breeze going on. The shade was also leaking here and there and I was afraid water would come down on the camera. It was all before 5 a.m. already and too dark for my eyes to discern details. Unfortunately, I've wasted a lot of time trying to figure out a way to block the flare from a light on the far left. Finally, I couldn't find a way to block it properly except to stand there. The exposure was about 9 minutes.
Finishing the first exposure, I've turned the camera away to the right, in hope that I would catch something interesting (like effects of the hammering rain), again for 9 minutes. Originally, the plan was actually for 2 separate shots, but then decided to merge them in a panorama of 2 images since there was a proper overlap between the two shots. With all of that, there was a considerable struggle to counteract the effect of the flare or blown out highlight on the far left. I regret though not including all of the seesaw on the far right - but that would have required another 9 minutes exposure with a third shot.
The Mastodon Web UI can do that. All third-party Mastodon apps can do that. The Web UIs of just about the whole rest of the Fediverse from Pleroma and Misskey to Friendica and Hubzilla can do that. Phone apps for stuff that isn't Mastodon can do that.
Only the haphazardly developed official Mastodon app can't do that because it's geared towards a Fediverse with only 500 characters, a Fediverse of a kind that has never existed.
Mastodon is not the reference implementation of the Fediverse. And the official Mastodon app is not the reference implementation of Mastodon apps, much less of Fediverse apps. It only exists for there to be something official named "Mastodon" in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
Just because Mastodon tossed out a lack-lustre app in 2022 for those who absolutely need something named "Mastodon" on their phones to access the Fediverse, doesn't mean that Fediverse software that has existed for almost six years longer than Mastodon and twelve years longer than that app must adapt to the existence of that app and cut down its character limit from 16,777,215 to 500 for all those who can't use Mastodon through something with another name on it than "Mastodon".
By the way: Mastodon's way of cutting longer posts up into tiny chunks of no more than 500 characters goes onto the nerves of users of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp-JS, Iceshrimp.NET, Sharkey, CherryPick, GoToSocial, snac, Hollo, Socialhome, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte and others. But they are not allowed to complain about that, much less tell Mastodon users who do that to move someplace that offers them more characters.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Fifth class. All of them.
As I've said, everyone talks about Mastodon as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse. This means that microblogging server apps that aren't Mastodon, and that don't have the same level of publicity and fame as GoToSocial and snac, are next to unknown by Mastodon's standards.
Mind you, this ranking is extremely Mastodon-centred. But Mastodon-centrism has been the default in the Fediverse for many years now.

# # # # # # # # # # #We have a five-class Fediverse nowadays.
First class: Mastodon. It's what everyone knows (everyone outside of Lemmy at least). It's what more Mastodon users than not take for the one and only Fediverse and ActivityPub gold standard (while literally nobody outside of Mastodon does, go figure). And it's the only Fediverse server application which many Fedizens take for the entire Fediverse. (Lemmings don't refer to Lemmy as the Fediverse, although many are still completely unaware that Lemmy is connected to anything else.)
Second class: the stuff that looks like add-ons glued onto Mastodon to enhance Mastodon. Pixelfed, an Instagram clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. PeerTube, a YouTube clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. Loops, a TikTok clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. WordPress, a blogging engine and content management system eventually glued to the Twitter clone. I guess you get the idea.
It's only up to the second class that Fediverse server software is generally recognised and accepted from the usual Mastodon-centric point of view.
Third class: other halfway well-known "clones" of or replacements for corporate online platforms that do not look like they're glued onto Mastodon as add-ons. This is limited to the Threadiverse (Lemmy, what's left of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) as Reddit replacements and Friendica as "the" Facebook replacement.
Fourth class: anything that doesn't fall into the first three classes, but that has enough publicity. Like Bonfire and WriteFreely. Also, minimalist stuff for self-hosters like GoToSocial and snac. Hubzilla is ever so barely teetering on this class, if at all.
Basically, it's only up to the fourth class that Fediverse server software is known at all.
Finally, fifth class: the whole rest. I mean, why is Mastodon known as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse if there are loads of others that are better, more powerful, sometimes even closer to Twitter in certain features Why is Friendica known as "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse if Friendica's own creator has built a whole family tree of successors that outclass Friendica in various ways

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Flipboard nimmt vom Fediverse jenseits von Mastodon berhaupt keine Notiz. Fr die besteht das Fediverse nur aus Mastodon und Flipboard.
Dazu kommt erschwerend, da sie so corporate sind, da sie selbst etwas, was keinen CEO und keine Inc. hat, gar nicht als existent wahrnehmen.
Also tun sie, was die allermeisten Fediverse-Entwickler tun: Sie entwickeln nur gegen Mastodon. Nicht einfach gegen die Mastodon Client API, sondern auch gegen Mastodon-Interna und Mastodon-Spezifika.
Siehe vorher auch FediDevs, das sogar "Fedi" im Namen trgt, aber hart ausschlielich gegen Mastodon gebaut wurde, weil die Entwickler so lange der felsenfesten berzeugung waren, da das Fediverse nur das Mastodon-Netzwerk ist, bis es zu spt war. Weil das ganze Backend von FediDevs darauf ausgelegt ist, direkt gegen bestimmte Serversoftware gebaut zu werden statt gegen allgemeine Standards, mssen sie jetzt die Untersttzung fr jede einzelne Serveranwendung hndisch nachtrglich reinbauen.

For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That's because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon toots, for 15 years now.
And if Friendica doesn't have it, chances are still that Hubzilla has it, and that Hubzilla has probably had it for longer than Mastodon has been around, too.
For example, private messages that are actually private. Mastodon doesn't have them because the "privacy" of Mastodon DMs is only "guaranteed" by limiting whom a DM is sent to. Hubzilla does have them and has had them since 2012, since it was still named Red. How Because Hubzilla also limits who is permitted to see a DM.
Oh, and Hubzilla even offers optional encryption on top of that.
Or how about server-independent identity Everyone still waiting for Bluesky to finally be the pioneer who invents this and implements it for the first time LOL! Once again, Hubzilla has had this since 2012. Not a vague concept, not an unstable proof-of-concept, but daily-driven by production-grade channels on production-grade servers. (streams) has it, too, inherited from Hubzilla through a whole number of forks. Forte has it, too, and Forte is the first and, so far, only Fediverse server software that uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity.
Now I'm waiting for someone to announce that something will "bring" actual groups "to the Fediverse". A feature that was actually introduced to the Fediverse by StatusNet in 2008, and that's also available on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. Not to mention that the very principle of the Threadiverse (Lemmy, the remains of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) is based on groups.
This is what happens when you think that the feature set of the whole Fediverse is the feature set of Mastodon and maybe Pixelfed because that's all you know.
Speaking of Mastodon: Just because it's being "brought to the Fediverse", doesn't mean it'll be adopted by Mastodon.

The situation right now is still that Mastodon has considerably more users than the whole rest of the Fediverse combined. Within Mastodon itself, well over 90% of all messages are from Mastodon.
The majority of Mastodon users think the Fediverse equals Mastodon. The majority of the rest think the Fediverse equals Mastodon with PeerTube and Pixelfed and the like glued onto it as add-ons. The majority of those remaining cannot imagine for the lives of them that you can follow Friendica accounts from Mastodon because you can't follow Facebook accounts from either.
Apart from Reddit-to-Lemmy refugees, every single last Fediverse newbie enters the Fediverse via Mastodon without being told that the Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. In fact, many don't even learn about the Fediverse itself, only that there's a phone app named Mastodon that's allegedly "literally without Musk".
Remember the early days of smartphones When 99% of all commercial apps were only developed for iOS because developing for Android wasn't worth it, because Android was "too small"
You know when this changed This didn't change when Android had gained a significant market share. This din't even change when Android had a market share of over 50%. This only changed when the Samsung Galaxy S, one specific Android phone model, had been outselling the iPhone for long enough for market analysts to notice.
In Fediverse terms, this means it isn't sufficient for the non-Mastodon Fediverse as a whole to outgrow Mastodon in numbers of users or in content. Even if most content seen on Mastodon doesn't originate on Mastodon anymore, that wouldn't be sufficient to break Mastodon's dominance.
It's sad to say, but we need one Fediverse server application to outgrow Mastodon in users and activity. Ideally, that'd be a server application that's both standards-compliant and state-of-the-art in technology and blistering with technology that goes beyond Mastodon's wildest imagination.
In other words, what we need is to channel a Facebook exodus of several tens of millions of users to Forte. I'd say hundreds of millions to also outgrow Threads, but Threads will block every last Forte server because Forte is incompatible with Forte's federation requirements by its design and its philosophy.
Imagine a Fediverse in which, whenever one Mastodon user speaks of Mastodon as either "the Fediverse" or the best Fediverse software ever, two or three Forte users disagree.
Trouble is, Forte isn't fit to take a Facebook exodus infrastructure-wise. It doesn't have a single public, open-registration server. It probably has fewer than 20 daily-driving users, all of whom are on single-user servers.
This also means that nobody knows whether Forte is fit to take a Facebook exodus technology-wise. Nobody knows how many users a Forte server can handle if none has ever even had half a dozen users. And, in fact, nobody knows how well Forte's implementation of nomadic identity works if only Mike Macgirvin himself has evern cloned a Forte channel and even that only under lab conditions. I mean, why clone your channel when you can just as well back up the whole server because it's yours
(streams) doesn't look much better, unfortunately. It has about two public, open-registration servers. There should be another one in Europe, but it's currently broken. Otherwise, it's like Forte: People try it by first setting up their own server. And hardly anyone is willing to host a public one, much less enough of these for cloning to be viable. So, again, even (streams)' nomadic identity is only ever tested by Mike under lab conditions.
It doesn't help that both have only one developer who is officially retired.
As much as I personally love (streams) for being sleek and more fitting into today's Fediverse, it's probably Hubzilla that's the most solid candidate for a state-of-the-art Facebook alternative.
It's the most well-known of the bunch (except non-nomadic, account-equals-identity Friendica). It has been around for a decade. It has two main devs, none of whom have ever retired from Fediverse development. It has quite a bunch of open-registration hubs. It has enough active users for bugs to be spotted quickly and even a few who occasionally submit pull requests. It has an active community, albeit a small one, but better than having only a few dozen users world-wide. I've even read somewhere that Hubzilla needs fewer server resources than (streams). And yes, it's more versatile. Also, it has a community-maintained help system where (streams) and Forte barely have a public tech spec.
On the other hand, however, Hubzilla has the steepest learning curve in the whole Fediverse. It feels like geared towards Friendica converts first and foremost, although Friendica and Hubzilla have been developed away from each other.
Its default settings are still adjusted for a Zot-based "Grid" that was envisioned as a successor to the Federation in the first half of the 2010s, but not for today's ActivityPub-based Fediverse. This means that you will have to configure your brand-new channel before you can start using it. And there's nothing on Hubzilla's Web UI that tells you that you have to "install" an "app" to be able to connect to Mastodon. Not to mention that many permission settings are only available in the shape of templates rather than individual switches like on (streams) and Forte.
It's hard enough for Mastodon users who are already used to decentralised things to switch to Hubzilla, the difference in philosophy (Twitter clone vs grand-son of a Facebook alternative with a side of WordPress) notwithstanding. But it'd be considerably harder for Facebook users to switch to Hubzilla than it is for users to switch to Mastodon.
I can't see Hubzilla dominate the Fediverse for other reasons as well, even in the event of a huge Facebook exodus.
First of all, the vast majority of Facebook refugees will be on-boarded by people who barely or not at all know the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, and who therefore think that Mastodon is the Fediverse's only viable alternative to Facebook. And by people who may know that Friendica exists, but who want to stay in contact with their old Facebook friends, and who cannot imagine that you can follow a Friendica account from Mastodon. So these Facebook refugees will end up adding millions upon millions of new users to Mastodon.
Besides, the Friendica community will try to reel in as many Facebook refugees as possible. The Friendica community is bigger than the Hubzilla community. Also, they've probably got some considerable foothold on Facebook whereas your typical Hubzilla user is hardly anywhere else except maybe for an experimental (streams) channel. Friendica will use its advantage of being widely considered "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse.
At the same time, the Hubzilla community won't even know how to tackle this situation, much less profit from it. They'll probably get stuck in discussions that don't lead to anything productive, in this case also being hindered by the notion that "Hubzilla is not a social network" (even though it'd work just fine as one).
Lastly, people will join whatever has its own official app in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store with the same name as the whole project and the server software. And that's Mastodon.
In the meantime, Friendica only has a bunch of third-party Android apps and a few semi-open beta iOS apps, but no official one named "Friendica". The other three have no apps at all, save for a Web-based Hubzilla app that hasn't seen any development activity in over six years. And the Hubzilla community can't even agree upon whether any Hubzilla app would be feasible in the first place, much less which features it has to include, also due to the false assumption that people will use the app only occasionally when they're out and about rather than daily-drive it as their only frontend.

I think it'll take more than that one FEP (FEP-ef61 Portable Objects) to do that. I expect to whip up more FEPs in the on-going process of turning Mitra from something like most Fediverse software (non-nomadic, account equals identity) into something that's every bit as nomadic as Forte.
Thing is, Mitra still has a long way to go, also because it aims to have an implementation of nomadic identity that's entirely covered by FEPs. Forte has nomadic identity via ActivityPub, but that's technology adopted from Zot/Nomad that needed to be made to work first and foremost with no regards for FEPs.
Besides, the existence of FEPs doesn't matter as long as Mastodon refuses to adopt them. And Mastodon has already silently rejected client-side support for OpenWebAuth magic sign-on by refusing to merge an existing, ready-to-merge pull request that would have implemented it immediately.
This means we'll probably never even see Mastodon become capable of recognising nomadic channels. And I'm not talking about Mastodon going nomadic itself (which, by the way, would also give Mastodon the easy account moving that its users have been craving for for so long).
# # # # # # # # # # # # # Teilweise ja, aber selbst du auf Mastodon kannst sehen: Da ist der Text formatiert. Oder da ist eine Stichpunktliste. Oder da ist ein Link eingebettet (wobei ich glaube, 95% der Mastodon-Nutzer nehmen eingebettete Links berhaupt nicht wahr, weil sie sich nicht vorstellen knnen, da Links ohne sichtbare URLs im Fediverse berhaupt mglich sein, weil die eben in Mastodon-Trts nicht mglich sind).
Und daraus sollte dann sofort ersichtlich sein: Dieser "Trt" ist kein "Trt", weil er nicht von Mastodon ist. Weil er nicht von Mastodon kommen kann. Weil Mastodon das, was in dem "Trt" drin ist, gar nicht erzeugen kann. Und da, wo man solche Sachen erzeugen kann, "trtet" man nicht, weil das eben nicht Mastodon ist.
Oder wenn die Erwhnungen "komisch" aussehen, dann wei man auch: Das kann so unmglich von Mastodon kommen. Sowas macht Mastodon nicht. Mastodon erwhnt so nicht.
Da braucht es nicht wie auf *key oder Friendica oder (streams) oder Forte eine Angabe ganz oben, wo genau ein Beitrag herkommt, um zu sehen, da der nicht von Mastodon ist.
Woher genau der ist, ist erstmal nachrangig. Wichtig ist erstmal nur, da er nicht von Mastodon kommt. Dann hrt man als Mastodon-Nutzer vielleicht auch mal auf
Also genau die Sachen, wo reine Mastodon-Nutzer sagen: "h, das passiert Hab ich noch nie gesehen." oder "Ist doch scheiegal, oder", die aber die Nicht-Mastodon-Nutzer wie zur Weiglut bringen.
Insofern geht es sehr wohl darum, wo jemand "eine Nachricht schreibt".

Not true for Hubzilla forums as well as (streams) and Forte groups.
I could set up a Hubzilla forum channel that simultaneously resides on half a dozen or more fully independent servers. All instances of the channel will incrementally back themselves up to all other instances of the channel in near-real-time, bidirectionally.
One server goes down, I still have 100% identical living copies on all the other servers.
The miracle of . Established in 2012, daily-driven on production channels for longer than Mastodon itself.
Literally the only disadvantage is that the non-nomadic parts of the Fediverse, including Mastodon, will perceive each clone as its own separate Fediverse account.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # Na ja, an ein paar Dingen kann man schon sofort erkennen, da ein Beitrag so nicht von Mastodon selbst kommen kann.
Beispiel: Fett Kursiv Unterstrichen
Kann Mastodon alles nicht erzeugen. Wenn sowas da ist, kann der ganze Beitrag nicht von Mastodon sein.
Anderes Beispiel: Erwhnungen. Mastodon und seine Forks erwhnen
Misskey und seine Forks (und Forks von Forks usw.) erwhnen
Friendica und Hubzilla erwhnen
(streams) und Forte erwhnen standardmig wie Friendica und Hubzilla, knnen aber optional mit Kurznamen erwhnen, wobei auch dann das nicht im Link ist.
Mit Hashtags ist es hnlich: Auf Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) und Forte ist das # kein Teil des Link, sondern es steht vor dem Link. brigens knnen die vier auch sehr viel mehr Zeichen im Hashtag haben, sogar Leerzeichen.
Wenn jemand in einem Bildpost erwhnt, da man von dem Post das Original ffnen sollte, um alle Bilder zu sehen, weil er mehr als vier Bilder enthlt, kann der Post auch nicht von Mastodon sein.
Antworten, die nicht jeden vorherigen Poster erwhnen Sowas kann nur von Friendica und seiner Familie oder aus dem Threadiverse (Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) kommen, wo Antworten keine Erwhnungen brauchen.
Es gibt noch ein untrgliches Zeichen, da ein Beitrag nicht von Mastodon kommen kann. Und das ist, wenn sich darin jemand darber aufregt, da mal wieder das Fediverse mit Mastodon gleichgesetzt wird. Beinahe allen Mastodon-Nutzern ist das komplett Wurscht, oder sie glauben selbst, das Fediverse sei nur Mastodon.
Auch Leute, die sich darber aufregen, wenn jemand einen langen Beitrag in lauter kleine Stcke zerschnippelt, gibt es so nicht auf Mastodon. Generell: Wenn jemand ber irgendetwas motzt, was auf Mastodon vllig normal oder gar Pflicht oder sogar technisch zwingend notwendig ist, dann kommt das definitiv nicht von Mastodon.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Tja, ist gar nicht auf Mastodon. Nur weil du es auf Mastodon siehst, mu es nicht selbst auf Mastodon sein.
Ein Irrglaube nicht nur von so ziemlich ausnahmslos jedem Mastodon-Neuling, sondern auch von vielen, die schon seit Jahren dabei sind, ist, da das Fediverse nur Mastodon ist. Das stimmt nicht das Fediverse war nie nur Mastodon. Nie.
Wenn man dann lernt, da das Fediverse nicht nur Mastodon ist, ist es hufig trotzdem unvorstellbar, da die ganzen Serveranwendungen im Fediverse nicht nur innerhalb ihrer selbst, sondern auch untereinander kommunizieren. Auch das bestrkt den Irrglauben vieler Mastodon-Nutzer, alles, was sie in ihren Timelines sehen, ist selbst auch von Mastodon.
war lange auf Calckey und ist inzwischen auf Sharkey. Calckey und Sharkey sind beide Forks von Misskey, einer in Japan entwickelten "Microblogging"-Serveranwendung im Fediverse. Und Misskey wird seit 2014 unabhngig von Mastodon entwickelt.
Ich selbst schreibe hier gerade von Hubzilla (, ). Eigentlich sollte offensichtlich sein, da das hier nicht von Mastodon kommen kann, weil es Sachen beinhaltet, die Mastodon nicht kann, z. B.:
Hubzillas Geschichte geht zurck bis nach Friendica, das 2010 vom selben ursprnglichen Entwickler an den Start gebracht wurde, also fnfeinhalb Jahre vor Mastodon, als Eugen Rochko noch zur Schule ging. Besagter Entwickler hat es 2011 zweimal geforkt und dann 2012 und 2015 jeweils grndlich umgebaut. So entstand Hubzilla, die mit Abstand mchtigste Fediverse-Serveranwendung und das genaue Gegenteil von Mastodon. Du kannst es dir vorstellen als Facebook trifft WordPress trifft GeoCities trifft Google Cloud Services trifft noch einiges mehr an Zeugs. Sachen, die fr Mastodon vllig unvorstellbar sind, kann es schon lnger, als es Mastodon berhaupt gibt. Mit Mastodon kommunizieren kann es trotzdem.
tldr: Im Fediverse gibt es Sachen, die sehr viel mchtiger sind als Mastodon. Und es gibt sie schon lnger als Mastodon selbst. Mit Mastodon fing im Fediverse gar nichts an, hchstens die als selbstverstndlich und gottgegeben angesehene Mastodon-Zentrizitt und der Glaube, das Fediverse sei nur Mastodon.

Any other kind of medium: yes. Digital photo: no.
It simply is redundant and uses up space and screen reader time. Digital photos have become so ubiquitous that any image that isn't explicitly described as something else can and has to be assumed to be a digital photo.

In my opinion, the results were abysmal. But that was to be expected.
Granted, I had unfair advantages. For one, the images showed something so extremely obscure that the AI barely had an idea of what it was looking at I did. Besides, the AI had to describe the image by looking at the image at its very limited resolution. I could describe the image by looking at the original at a near-infinite resolution. This is also why the AI didn't even transcribe one bit of text in the image, and I transcribed them all.

Vergleichen wir es mal mit Mastodon.
- Es ist zehn Monate lter als Mastodon.
Es wurde im Mrz 2015 releaset.
Dafr wurde es aus etwas umgebaut, was 2012 umgeschrieben wurde aus etwas, was 2011 von etwas geforkt wurde, was 2011 vom schon 2010 gestarteten Friendica geforkt wurde.
Das heit, sein Familienstammbaum fngt fnfeinhalb Jahre vor Mastodon an. - Es wird unabhngig von Mastodon entwickelt und nicht etwa als Extra oder Erweiterung fr Mastodon.
- Es kann sich trotzdem mit Mastodon verbinden. Und mit diaspora*. Und mit einigen anderen Sachen. (Dieser Kommentar kommt brigens von Hubzilla.)
- Es war die erste Serveranwendung berhaupt, die ActivityPub untersttzte (seit Juli 2017). Mastodon war die zweite (seit September 2017).
- Es braucht kein Ruby on Rails. Es ist fast komplett in PHP gebaut.
- Es ist mchtiger als alles andere im Fediverse von Mastodon ber Friendica bis Bonfire. Gleichzeitig ist es modular.
- Es ist kein bloer Twitter-Klon, sondern es kann eine Facebook-Alternative, eine vollwertige Blogging-Plattform, ein Cloudspeicher inklusive Kalender und Adrebuch, ein Host fr einfache Webpages und noch viel mehr sein.
Die offizielle Hubzilla-Website () luft selbst auf einem Hubzilla-Kanal. - Dein Konto/Login ist nicht deine Identitt. Deine Identitt ist von deinem Konto/Login entkoppelt.
Du kannst auf einem Konto mehrere vllig voneinander unabhngige Kanle/Identitten haben.
Du kannst Kanle komplett mit allem Drum und Dran auf andere Server umziehen.
Du kannst Kanle sogar ber mehrere Server klonen und damit auf mehreren Servern gleichzeitig betreiben. - Es hat viel umfangreichere Profile als Mastodon.
- Man kann mehrere Profile anlegen und die zustzlichen Profile bestimmten Kontakten zuordnen. (Funktioniert nur mit Kontakten, die bestimmte Fediverse-Anwendungen benutzen funktioniert nicht mit Mastodon-Kontakten.)
- Es ist extrem sicher. Es hat das zweitbeste Berechtigungssystem im Fediverse mit 18 verschiedenen Berechtigungen auf bis zu drei Ebenen (fr den ganzen Kanal, pro Kontakt, inhaltsbezogen). Das schliet sogar Antwortenkontrolle ein.
- Es hat nicht 500 Zeichen, sondern 16,7 Millionen.
- Es kann pro Post nicht vier Bilder haben, sondern unbegrenzt viele.
- Es kann Bilder nicht einfach nur als Dateianhnge an den Post anhngen, sondern sie mitten in den Post-Text einbetten, also mit Text darber und mehr Text darunter oder kleine Bilder auch mitten in der Zeile. Das kann Mastodon nicht mal anzeigen.
- Es kann mehr Textformatierung erzeugen, als Mastodon anzeigen kann.
- Es kann Titel. Mastodon kann die normalerweise nicht mal anzeigen.
- Auf Mastodon ist ein Thread lose mittels Erwhnungen aus einzelnen Posts zusammengezurrt.
Auf Hubzilla ist eine Konversation ein in sich geschlossenes Gebilde mit genau einem Post und ansonsten Kommentaren, die immer dieselben Berechtigungen haben wie der Post. - In der Mastodon-Timeline sieht man nur einzelne Beitrge.
Im Hubzilla-Stream sieht man standardmig immer komplette Konversationen mit Post und Kommentaren. - Wenn man erstmal einen Post im Hubzilla-Stream hat, bekommt man auch alle Kommentare dazu.
- Es konnte schon immer quote-posten. Es kann auch Mastodon-Trts quote-posten, seit es Mastodon gibt. (Ernsthaft, Friendica kann seit 15 Jahren quote-posten.)
- Es hat Gruppen in verschiedenster Form.
Moderierte Gruppen.
Private Gruppen.
Gruppen, die im Verzeichnis nicht angezeigt werden. - Es hat sehr viel mehr Mglichkeiten, Posts an bestimmte Zielgruppen zu schicken, z. B. an eine bestimmte Liste oder an eine beliebige Kombination aus Kontakten und Listen, wo man dann sogar noch bestimmte Kontakte und Listen nachtrglich ausschlieen kann.
- Es hat viel mchtigere und gleichzeitig einfacher bedienbarere Filter als Mastodon:
- nicht ein Filter pro zu filterndem Begriff, sondern eine Blocklist fr den ganzen Kanal, wo man einfach neue Schlsselwrter eintragen kann
- zustzlich eine Allowlist fr den ganzen Kanal
- optional zustzlich je eine Blocklist und Allowlist pro Kontakt
- optional eine separate Filterliste, die bestimmte Inhalte hinter Inhaltswarnungen versteckt (so eine Funktion haben Mastodons Filter erst seit drei Jahren Friendica hat sie seit 15 Jahren)
- regulre Ausdrcke in Filtern
- Boolesche Funktionen in Filtern
- mchtige Filtersyntax, die z. B. Boosts, Kommentare und Direktnachrichten erkennen kann
- Es hat einen eingebauten, fderierenden Event-Kalender. Also, zustzlich zum CalDAV-Kalenderserver. Mastodon kann mit Events nichts anfangen.
- Es kann RSS- und Atom-Feeds abonnieren.
- Es hat noch einiges mehr an optionalen Features, z. B. OpenStreetMap-Einbindung, nicht fderierende Artikel (die kann man, wenn man will, in Posts verlinken), Wikis, Planungskarten oder automatisch generierte QR-Codes.
- Es hat ein sehr flexibel konfigurierbares Standardthema, und es stehen inzwischen mehrere Third-Party-Themen zur Verfgung, die vom Serverbetreiber installiert werden knnen.

Hier mal ein paar mehr Kontaktempfehlungen:
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Long I will continue to describe my images by hand. I will not resort to have them described by an AI, no matter how much time that'd save. I see more than any AI because while the AI only has the image, I can look at the real deal. And I know more about the topic than any AI ever will.
AI can't pinpoint where exactly I've taken an image because it knows nothing about the worlds that my images are from. I can, and I will, and while I'm at it, I'll explain the location down to the very basics.
AI doesn't know what an OpenSimWorld beacon is. I know, and I can and will explain it.
AI can't transcribe the text on a sign that's a four-by-three-pixel blot in my image. I can and will transcribe it because when I look at it in-world, I can see its 1024-by-768-pixel texture in all its glory.
As for WCAG: They don't cover the special case of 3-D virtual world renderings posted into the Fediverse from something that is not Mastodon, and that offers vastly more characters than Mastodon.
The only alternative to posting my images with hand-written descriptions is to not post them at all.

In other news:Christmas is over, and so is almost the year. Snow-covered themes are being shut down again, and it won't be long after New Year's Day that OpenSim is back to its usual eternal summer until October. And then we'll have one month of autumn in a few places because autumn and Halloween are basically the same here.
Good thing there are a few exceptions. 's Novale on his own grid probably still changes its seasons along with real-life Qubec. Jimmy Olsen's Norge in the Wolf Territories shares its weather and daycycle with real-life northern Norway his Alfheim used to do the same. And there are a few permanent winter or Christmas places Dorenas World has three of them.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # Yes, you do. And you'd better write good, accurate, sufficiently detailed alt-text by hand.
AI is not nearly reliable enough to describe every image properly. In particular, AI cannot describe images within the context of a post.
If you don't add proper alt-text to your images:
- People will give you unsolicited lectures on why alt-text is important.
- People will attack you.
- People will insult you as ableist.
- People will mute or even block you upon first strike. Like, you post one image without a good alt-text, and dozens or hundreds of Mastodon users will block you.
- If you're a repeat offender, people will talk about you and tell everyone how ableist you are for not providing proper alt-texts.
Judge for yourself whether not describing your images is worth all this.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Because most went Instagram -> Pixelfed without ever having been on Mastodon.
As opposed to Twitter -> Mastodon -> being lectured about Mastodon's culture -> Pixelfed.
Not everyone in the Fediverse has first been on Mastodon. For example, many Friendica users came from Facebook, and they did so long before Mastodon was even launched. Most Hubzilla users got there from Friendica after having been on Facebook first.
Both Friendica and Hubzilla have their very own cultures that predate Mastodon's, and they will never throw away their own cultures in favour of Mastodon's. For that'd also mean abstaining from most of their own features because Mastodon's culture either doesn't cover these features or explicitly forbids them.
Just in case you wonder why image posts from one of these rarely have alt-texts.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Und da wundern sich dann die Leute, warum ich teilweise 10, 15, 20 Hashtags oder mehr unter einem einzelnen Beitrag habe.
Die dienen mindestens zur Hlfte dazu, meine Beitrge zu filtern. Ich schreibe ja sehr viel Zeugs, was vielleicht nicht unbedingt jeder lesen will.
Beispielsweise schreibe ich hufig bers Fediverse, das heit dann aber nicht, da ich nur ber Mastodon und dann auch noch positiv darber schreibe. Wenn, dann schreibe ich entweder ber Sachen, die nicht Mastodon und deshalb ziemlich obskur sind, oder ber Mastodon eher negativ oder beides.
Generell schreibe ich hufig sehr lang. Da, wo ich bin (Hubzilla), gibt es weder ein 500-Zeichen-Limit noch irgendein definiertes Zeichenlimit noch eine Kultur, alles schn kurz zu halten. Das stt aber vielen Mastodon-Nutzern sauer auf, die der felsenfesten berzeugung sind, Eugen Rochko habe das Fediverse als Mikrobloggingdienst erfunden (hat er nicht). Also gibt's auch hier wieder Hashtags zum Filtern.
Was hier aber schon sehr viel lnger Teil der Kultur ist, als es Mastodon berhaupt gibt, ist, sich individuelle CWs mittels Wortfilter vollautomatisch generieren zu lassen, statt da sie im Zusammenfassungsfeld allen gleichermaen aufgezwungen werden. Deswegen dopple ich viele Hashtags mit "CW" am Anfang, um klarzumachen, da sie genau dafr sind. Diejenigen, die sich ihre eigenen CWs generieren lassen, knnen dann meine Hashtags dafr nehmen.
Dann kommt noch dazu, da es fr viele Sachverhalte einfach irre viele Hashtags gibt und ich nicht vorher wissen kann, wer jetzt welches dieser Hashtags filtert. Das fhrt zu noch mehr Hashtags zum Auslsen von Filtern.
Alleine, um einen Beitrag mit mehr als 500 Zeichen zu markieren, brauche ich vier Hashtags und noch einmal zwei dazu, wenn er auf Deutsch ist. Wenn ich generell ber das Fediverse schreibe, brauche ich noch einmal vier. Und so weiter.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Na ja, Plume hat einen speziellen Status.
Bei den *keys gibt's welche, die einfach eingeschlafen sind, bekanntesterweise Calckey. Ansonsten ist es blich, da Software offiziell abgekndigt wird (Firefish, /kbin, alles zwischen Hubzilla und (streams), letztilch auch Lotide, irgendwann auch Iceshrimp-JS etc.), wenn die Entwicklung eingestellt werden soll.
Plume ist ja eigentlich noch in Entwicklung, nur haben beide Entwickler im Moment keine Zeit dafr. Aber sie haben das Projekt nicht gnzlich aufgegeben, d. h. wenn sie wieder Zeit haben, wollen sie weitermachen. Das ist auch gut, weil Plume leider WriteFreely in kritischen Features (Kommentare, eingebauter Filespace fr Bilder) schlgt.
WriteFreely ist im Moment am ehesten interessant, wenn man den schlichten, aufgerumten Stil von Medium haben und eh keine Bilder posten will und auch an Kommentaren nicht interessiert ist. Auerdem kommt man nur schwer rein, was wohl daran liegt, da WriteFreely von Spambots berrannt wird.
Wer nicht selbst hosten will, ist im Moment bei Friendica oder Hubzilla am besten aufgehoben, je nachdem, wie man lngere Texte posten will.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # Ideally, one day, the highly advanced permissions system available on Hubzilla (based on Zot, ActivityPub optional), (streams) (based on Nomad, ActivityPub optional) and Forte (based on ActivityPub) would be cast into one or multiple FEPs.
This would solve this issue by not only controlling who receives a DM, but also who is permitted to see the DM. In combination with FEP-171b Conversation Containers (which was invented on (streams), inherited by Forte and backported to Hubzilla), the permissions of the DM would be inherited by all comments and replies to the DM with no way of ever changing these permissions anywhere in the conversation.
See, if I send a DM to Alice and Bob, then only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to see the DM. Also, only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to participate in the conversation, and Alice, Bob and I can see each comment and reply, but only the three of us are permitted to see them. The entire conversation has the exact same permissions all over, inherited from the initial DM.
Anyone of us can mention Carol all we want. But that does not give her permission to see anything in the conversation, not even the comment/reply that mentions her. Once the initial DM is out, its permissions are set in stone, and it's also set in stone that any and all follow-ups in the same conversation have the same permissions as the initial DM.
This does not even require encryption. That said, at least Hubzilla does offer encryption on top of the permissions system however, it's only compatible within Hubzilla AFAIK.

It's 3D Saturday for me but I've decided to end up with (somewhat) last shot in 2025 (so far), which was done on December 17th. I don't have any new 3D shots anyway!
It wasn't a stroll, but rather an idea for a long exposure that I've been thinking of for a while. As soon as I got ready to leave the house to the playground around the corner, it started to rain. However, I've decided to continue, putting the camera under my jacket to protect it from the rain, while other stuff in a plastic bag.
The idea was to do a long exposure for this playground leaving the breeze or wind to shake the swings. Strangely, it was raining, but not much wind or breeze going on. The shade was also leaking here and there and I was afraid water would come down on the camera. It was all before 5 a.m. already and too dark for my eyes to discern details. Unfortunately, I've wasted a lot of time trying to figure out a way to block the flare from a light on the far left. Finally, I couldn't find a way to block it properly except to stand there. The exposure was about 9 minutes.
Finishing the first exposure, I've turned the camera away to the right, in hope that I would catch something interesting (like effects of the hammering rain), again for 9 minutes. Originally, the plan was actually for 2 separate shots, but then decided to merge them in a panorama of 2 images since there was a proper overlap between the two shots. With all of that, there was a considerable struggle to counteract the effect of the flare or blown out highlight on the far left. I regret though not including all of the seesaw on the far right - but that would have required another 9 minutes exposure with a third shot.

It doesn't fit the timelines in the official Mastodon phone app. Which has the only Fediverse user interface out there that cannot fold longer posts in.The Mastodon Web UI can do that. All third-party Mastodon apps can do that. The Web UIs of just about the whole rest of the Fediverse from Pleroma and Misskey to Friendica and Hubzilla can do that. Phone apps for stuff that isn't Mastodon can do that.
Only the haphazardly developed official Mastodon app can't do that because it's geared towards a Fediverse with only 500 characters, a Fediverse of a kind that has never existed.
Mastodon is not the reference implementation of the Fediverse. And the official Mastodon app is not the reference implementation of Mastodon apps, much less of Fediverse apps. It only exists for there to be something official named "Mastodon" in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
Just because Mastodon tossed out a lack-lustre app in 2022 for those who absolutely need something named "Mastodon" on their phones to access the Fediverse, doesn't mean that Fediverse software that has existed for almost six years longer than Mastodon and twelve years longer than that app must adapt to the existence of that app and cut down its character limit from 16,777,215 to 500 for all those who can't use Mastodon through something with another name on it than "Mastodon".
By the way: Mastodon's way of cutting longer posts up into tiny chunks of no more than 500 characters goes onto the nerves of users of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp-JS, Iceshrimp.NET, Sharkey, CherryPick, GoToSocial, snac, Hollo, Socialhome, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte and others. But they are not allowed to complain about that, much less tell Mastodon users who do that to move someplace that offers them more characters.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Fifth class. All of them.
As I've said, everyone talks about Mastodon as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse. This means that microblogging server apps that aren't Mastodon, and that don't have the same level of publicity and fame as GoToSocial and snac, are next to unknown by Mastodon's standards.
Mind you, this ranking is extremely Mastodon-centred. But Mastodon-centrism has been the default in the Fediverse for many years now.

# # # # # # # # # # #We have a five-class Fediverse nowadays.
First class: Mastodon. It's what everyone knows (everyone outside of Lemmy at least). It's what more Mastodon users than not take for the one and only Fediverse and ActivityPub gold standard (while literally nobody outside of Mastodon does, go figure). And it's the only Fediverse server application which many Fedizens take for the entire Fediverse. (Lemmings don't refer to Lemmy as the Fediverse, although many are still completely unaware that Lemmy is connected to anything else.)
Second class: the stuff that looks like add-ons glued onto Mastodon to enhance Mastodon. Pixelfed, an Instagram clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. PeerTube, a YouTube clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. Loops, a TikTok clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. WordPress, a blogging engine and content management system eventually glued to the Twitter clone. I guess you get the idea.
It's only up to the second class that Fediverse server software is generally recognised and accepted from the usual Mastodon-centric point of view.
Third class: other halfway well-known "clones" of or replacements for corporate online platforms that do not look like they're glued onto Mastodon as add-ons. This is limited to the Threadiverse (Lemmy, what's left of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) as Reddit replacements and Friendica as "the" Facebook replacement.
Fourth class: anything that doesn't fall into the first three classes, but that has enough publicity. Like Bonfire and WriteFreely. Also, minimalist stuff for self-hosters like GoToSocial and snac. Hubzilla is ever so barely teetering on this class, if at all.
Basically, it's only up to the fourth class that Fediverse server software is known at all.
Finally, fifth class: the whole rest. I mean, why is Mastodon known as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse if there are loads of others that are better, more powerful, sometimes even closer to Twitter in certain features Why is Friendica known as "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse if Friendica's own creator has built a whole family tree of successors that outclass Friendica in various ways

Dazu kommt erschwerend, da sie so corporate sind, da sie selbst etwas, was keinen CEO und keine Inc. hat, gar nicht als existent wahrnehmen.
Also tun sie, was die allermeisten Fediverse-Entwickler tun: Sie entwickeln nur gegen Mastodon. Nicht einfach gegen die Mastodon Client API, sondern auch gegen Mastodon-Interna und Mastodon-Spezifika.
Siehe vorher auch FediDevs, das sogar "Fedi" im Namen trgt, aber hart ausschlielich gegen Mastodon gebaut wurde, weil die Entwickler so lange der felsenfesten berzeugung waren, da das Fediverse nur das Mastodon-Netzwerk ist, bis es zu spt war. Weil das ganze Backend von FediDevs darauf ausgelegt ist, direkt gegen bestimmte Serversoftware gebaut zu werden statt gegen allgemeine Standards, mssen sie jetzt die Untersttzung fr jede einzelne Serveranwendung hndisch nachtrglich reinbauen.

Whenever someone announces to "bring" something "to the Fediverse", chances are that Friendica has actually had it since 2010, for five and a half years longer than Mastodon has been around.For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That's because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon toots, for 15 years now.
And if Friendica doesn't have it, chances are still that Hubzilla has it, and that Hubzilla has probably had it for longer than Mastodon has been around, too.
For example, private messages that are actually private. Mastodon doesn't have them because the "privacy" of Mastodon DMs is only "guaranteed" by limiting whom a DM is sent to. Hubzilla does have them and has had them since 2012, since it was still named Red. How Because Hubzilla also limits who is permitted to see a DM.
Oh, and Hubzilla even offers optional encryption on top of that.
Or how about server-independent identity Everyone still waiting for Bluesky to finally be the pioneer who invents this and implements it for the first time LOL! Once again, Hubzilla has had this since 2012. Not a vague concept, not an unstable proof-of-concept, but daily-driven by production-grade channels on production-grade servers. (streams) has it, too, inherited from Hubzilla through a whole number of forks. Forte has it, too, and Forte is the first and, so far, only Fediverse server software that uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity.
Now I'm waiting for someone to announce that something will "bring" actual groups "to the Fediverse". A feature that was actually introduced to the Fediverse by StatusNet in 2008, and that's also available on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. Not to mention that the very principle of the Threadiverse (Lemmy, the remains of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) is based on groups.
This is what happens when you think that the feature set of the whole Fediverse is the feature set of Mastodon and maybe Pixelfed because that's all you know.
Speaking of Mastodon: Just because it's being "brought to the Fediverse", doesn't mean it'll be adopted by Mastodon.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # But this will take a lot of time. A whole lot of time.
The situation right now is still that Mastodon has considerably more users than the whole rest of the Fediverse combined. Within Mastodon itself, well over 90% of all messages are from Mastodon.
The majority of Mastodon users think the Fediverse equals Mastodon. The majority of the rest think the Fediverse equals Mastodon with PeerTube and Pixelfed and the like glued onto it as add-ons. The majority of those remaining cannot imagine for the lives of them that you can follow Friendica accounts from Mastodon because you can't follow Facebook accounts from either.
Apart from Reddit-to-Lemmy refugees, every single last Fediverse newbie enters the Fediverse via Mastodon without being told that the Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. In fact, many don't even learn about the Fediverse itself, only that there's a phone app named Mastodon that's allegedly "literally without Musk".
Remember the early days of smartphones When 99% of all commercial apps were only developed for iOS because developing for Android wasn't worth it, because Android was "too small"
You know when this changed This didn't change when Android had gained a significant market share. This din't even change when Android had a market share of over 50%. This only changed when the Samsung Galaxy S, one specific Android phone model, had been outselling the iPhone for long enough for market analysts to notice.
In Fediverse terms, this means it isn't sufficient for the non-Mastodon Fediverse as a whole to outgrow Mastodon in numbers of users or in content. Even if most content seen on Mastodon doesn't originate on Mastodon anymore, that wouldn't be sufficient to break Mastodon's dominance.
It's sad to say, but we need one Fediverse server application to outgrow Mastodon in users and activity. Ideally, that'd be a server application that's both standards-compliant and state-of-the-art in technology and blistering with technology that goes beyond Mastodon's wildest imagination.
In other words, what we need is to channel a Facebook exodus of several tens of millions of users to Forte. I'd say hundreds of millions to also outgrow Threads, but Threads will block every last Forte server because Forte is incompatible with Forte's federation requirements by its design and its philosophy.
Imagine a Fediverse in which, whenever one Mastodon user speaks of Mastodon as either "the Fediverse" or the best Fediverse software ever, two or three Forte users disagree.
Trouble is, Forte isn't fit to take a Facebook exodus infrastructure-wise. It doesn't have a single public, open-registration server. It probably has fewer than 20 daily-driving users, all of whom are on single-user servers.
This also means that nobody knows whether Forte is fit to take a Facebook exodus technology-wise. Nobody knows how many users a Forte server can handle if none has ever even had half a dozen users. And, in fact, nobody knows how well Forte's implementation of nomadic identity works if only Mike Macgirvin himself has evern cloned a Forte channel and even that only under lab conditions. I mean, why clone your channel when you can just as well back up the whole server because it's yours
(streams) doesn't look much better, unfortunately. It has about two public, open-registration servers. There should be another one in Europe, but it's currently broken. Otherwise, it's like Forte: People try it by first setting up their own server. And hardly anyone is willing to host a public one, much less enough of these for cloning to be viable. So, again, even (streams)' nomadic identity is only ever tested by Mike under lab conditions.
It doesn't help that both have only one developer who is officially retired.
As much as I personally love (streams) for being sleek and more fitting into today's Fediverse, it's probably Hubzilla that's the most solid candidate for a state-of-the-art Facebook alternative.
It's the most well-known of the bunch (except non-nomadic, account-equals-identity Friendica). It has been around for a decade. It has two main devs, none of whom have ever retired from Fediverse development. It has quite a bunch of open-registration hubs. It has enough active users for bugs to be spotted quickly and even a few who occasionally submit pull requests. It has an active community, albeit a small one, but better than having only a few dozen users world-wide. I've even read somewhere that Hubzilla needs fewer server resources than (streams). And yes, it's more versatile. Also, it has a community-maintained help system where (streams) and Forte barely have a public tech spec.
On the other hand, however, Hubzilla has the steepest learning curve in the whole Fediverse. It feels like geared towards Friendica converts first and foremost, although Friendica and Hubzilla have been developed away from each other.
Its default settings are still adjusted for a Zot-based "Grid" that was envisioned as a successor to the Federation in the first half of the 2010s, but not for today's ActivityPub-based Fediverse. This means that you will have to configure your brand-new channel before you can start using it. And there's nothing on Hubzilla's Web UI that tells you that you have to "install" an "app" to be able to connect to Mastodon. Not to mention that many permission settings are only available in the shape of templates rather than individual switches like on (streams) and Forte.
It's hard enough for Mastodon users who are already used to decentralised things to switch to Hubzilla, the difference in philosophy (Twitter clone vs grand-son of a Facebook alternative with a side of WordPress) notwithstanding. But it'd be considerably harder for Facebook users to switch to Hubzilla than it is for users to switch to Mastodon.
I can't see Hubzilla dominate the Fediverse for other reasons as well, even in the event of a huge Facebook exodus.
First of all, the vast majority of Facebook refugees will be on-boarded by people who barely or not at all know the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, and who therefore think that Mastodon is the Fediverse's only viable alternative to Facebook. And by people who may know that Friendica exists, but who want to stay in contact with their old Facebook friends, and who cannot imagine that you can follow a Friendica account from Mastodon. So these Facebook refugees will end up adding millions upon millions of new users to Mastodon.
Besides, the Friendica community will try to reel in as many Facebook refugees as possible. The Friendica community is bigger than the Hubzilla community. Also, they've probably got some considerable foothold on Facebook whereas your typical Hubzilla user is hardly anywhere else except maybe for an experimental (streams) channel. Friendica will use its advantage of being widely considered "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse.
At the same time, the Hubzilla community won't even know how to tackle this situation, much less profit from it. They'll probably get stuck in discussions that don't lead to anything productive, in this case also being hindered by the notion that "Hubzilla is not a social network" (even though it'd work just fine as one).
Lastly, people will join whatever has its own official app in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store with the same name as the whole project and the server software. And that's Mastodon.
In the meantime, Friendica only has a bunch of third-party Android apps and a few semi-open beta iOS apps, but no official one named "Friendica". The other three have no apps at all, save for a Web-based Hubzilla app that hasn't seen any development activity in over six years. And the Hubzilla community can't even agree upon whether any Hubzilla app would be feasible in the first place, much less which features it has to include, also due to the false assumption that people will use the app only occasionally when they're out and about rather than daily-drive it as their only frontend.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
That's a pretty major UX fail right there.
Any progress on finalising an FEP for using nomadic identity with AP
I think it'll take more than that one FEP (FEP-ef61 Portable Objects) to do that. I expect to whip up more FEPs in the on-going process of turning Mitra from something like most Fediverse software (non-nomadic, account equals identity) into something that's every bit as nomadic as Forte.
Thing is, Mitra still has a long way to go, also because it aims to have an implementation of nomadic identity that's entirely covered by FEPs. Forte has nomadic identity via ActivityPub, but that's technology adopted from Zot/Nomad that needed to be made to work first and foremost with no regards for FEPs.
Besides, the existence of FEPs doesn't matter as long as Mastodon refuses to adopt them. And Mastodon has already silently rejected client-side support for OpenWebAuth magic sign-on by refusing to merge an existing, ready-to-merge pull request that would have implemented it immediately.
This means we'll probably never even see Mastodon become capable of recognising nomadic channels. And I'm not talking about Mastodon going nomadic itself (which, by the way, would also give Mastodon the easy account moving that its users have been craving for for so long).
# # # # # # # # # # # # # Teilweise ja, aber selbst du auf Mastodon kannst sehen: Da ist der Text formatiert. Oder da ist eine Stichpunktliste. Oder da ist ein Link eingebettet (wobei ich glaube, 95% der Mastodon-Nutzer nehmen eingebettete Links berhaupt nicht wahr, weil sie sich nicht vorstellen knnen, da Links ohne sichtbare URLs im Fediverse berhaupt mglich sein, weil die eben in Mastodon-Trts nicht mglich sind).
Und daraus sollte dann sofort ersichtlich sein: Dieser "Trt" ist kein "Trt", weil er nicht von Mastodon ist. Weil er nicht von Mastodon kommen kann. Weil Mastodon das, was in dem "Trt" drin ist, gar nicht erzeugen kann. Und da, wo man solche Sachen erzeugen kann, "trtet" man nicht, weil das eben nicht Mastodon ist.
Oder wenn die Erwhnungen "komisch" aussehen, dann wei man auch: Das kann so unmglich von Mastodon kommen. Sowas macht Mastodon nicht. Mastodon erwhnt so nicht.
Da braucht es nicht wie auf *key oder Friendica oder (streams) oder Forte eine Angabe ganz oben, wo genau ein Beitrag herkommt, um zu sehen, da der nicht von Mastodon ist.
Woher genau der ist, ist erstmal nachrangig. Wichtig ist erstmal nur, da er nicht von Mastodon kommt. Dann hrt man als Mastodon-Nutzer vielleicht auch mal auf
- zu glauben, das ganze Fediverse ist Mastodon
- zu glauben, alles, was man sieht, kommt von Mastodon
- zu behaupten, das ganze Fediverse sei Mastodon
- zu behaupten, alles, was man sieht, komme von Mastodon
- alles, was man sieht, als "Trts" zu bezeichnen
- Mastodon-Mastbe ans Nicht-Mastodon-Fediverse anzulegen
- von Nicht-Mastodon-Nutzern einzufordern, sich genau wie Mastodon-Nutzer zu verhalten
Also genau die Sachen, wo reine Mastodon-Nutzer sagen: "h, das passiert Hab ich noch nie gesehen." oder "Ist doch scheiegal, oder", die aber die Nicht-Mastodon-Nutzer wie zur Weiglut bringen.
Insofern geht es sehr wohl darum, wo jemand "eine Nachricht schreibt".

Groups are tied permanently to the originating server.
Not true for Hubzilla forums as well as (streams) and Forte groups.
I could set up a Hubzilla forum channel that simultaneously resides on half a dozen or more fully independent servers. All instances of the channel will incrementally back themselves up to all other instances of the channel in near-real-time, bidirectionally.
One server goes down, I still have 100% identical living copies on all the other servers.
The miracle of . Established in 2012, daily-driven on production channels for longer than Mastodon itself.
Literally the only disadvantage is that the non-nomadic parts of the Fediverse, including Mastodon, will perceive each clone as its own separate Fediverse account.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # Na ja, an ein paar Dingen kann man schon sofort erkennen, da ein Beitrag so nicht von Mastodon selbst kommen kann.
Beispiel: Fett Kursiv Unterstrichen
Code - Stichpunktliste
Zitat
Kann Mastodon alles nicht erzeugen. Wenn sowas da ist, kann der ganze Beitrag nicht von Mastodon sein.
Anderes Beispiel: Erwhnungen. Mastodon und seine Forks erwhnen
- mit Kurznamen
- ohne Domain
- mit dem im Link
Misskey und seine Forks (und Forks von Forks usw.) erwhnen
- mit Kurznamen
- mit Domain
- mit dem im Link
Friendica und Hubzilla erwhnen
- mit Langnamen
- mit dem vor dem Link
(streams) und Forte erwhnen standardmig wie Friendica und Hubzilla, knnen aber optional mit Kurznamen erwhnen, wobei auch dann das nicht im Link ist.
Mit Hashtags ist es hnlich: Auf Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) und Forte ist das # kein Teil des Link, sondern es steht vor dem Link. brigens knnen die vier auch sehr viel mehr Zeichen im Hashtag haben, sogar Leerzeichen.
Wenn jemand in einem Bildpost erwhnt, da man von dem Post das Original ffnen sollte, um alle Bilder zu sehen, weil er mehr als vier Bilder enthlt, kann der Post auch nicht von Mastodon sein.
Antworten, die nicht jeden vorherigen Poster erwhnen Sowas kann nur von Friendica und seiner Familie oder aus dem Threadiverse (Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) kommen, wo Antworten keine Erwhnungen brauchen.
Es gibt noch ein untrgliches Zeichen, da ein Beitrag nicht von Mastodon kommen kann. Und das ist, wenn sich darin jemand darber aufregt, da mal wieder das Fediverse mit Mastodon gleichgesetzt wird. Beinahe allen Mastodon-Nutzern ist das komplett Wurscht, oder sie glauben selbst, das Fediverse sei nur Mastodon.
Auch Leute, die sich darber aufregen, wenn jemand einen langen Beitrag in lauter kleine Stcke zerschnippelt, gibt es so nicht auf Mastodon. Generell: Wenn jemand ber irgendetwas motzt, was auf Mastodon vllig normal oder gar Pflicht oder sogar technisch zwingend notwendig ist, dann kommt das definitiv nicht von Mastodon.
CC:
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Tja, ist gar nicht auf Mastodon. Nur weil du es auf Mastodon siehst, mu es nicht selbst auf Mastodon sein.
Ein Irrglaube nicht nur von so ziemlich ausnahmslos jedem Mastodon-Neuling, sondern auch von vielen, die schon seit Jahren dabei sind, ist, da das Fediverse nur Mastodon ist. Das stimmt nicht das Fediverse war nie nur Mastodon. Nie.
Wenn man dann lernt, da das Fediverse nicht nur Mastodon ist, ist es hufig trotzdem unvorstellbar, da die ganzen Serveranwendungen im Fediverse nicht nur innerhalb ihrer selbst, sondern auch untereinander kommunizieren. Auch das bestrkt den Irrglauben vieler Mastodon-Nutzer, alles, was sie in ihren Timelines sehen, ist selbst auch von Mastodon.
war lange auf Calckey und ist inzwischen auf Sharkey. Calckey und Sharkey sind beide Forks von Misskey, einer in Japan entwickelten "Microblogging"-Serveranwendung im Fediverse. Und Misskey wird seit 2014 unabhngig von Mastodon entwickelt.
Ich selbst schreibe hier gerade von Hubzilla (, ). Eigentlich sollte offensichtlich sein, da das hier nicht von Mastodon kommen kann, weil es Sachen beinhaltet, die Mastodon nicht kann, z. B.:
- Stichpunktlisten
- Textformatierung
- Erwhnungen mit Langnamen
- weit ber 500 Zeichen (das Zeichenlimit hier ist ber 16,7 Millionen)
Hubzillas Geschichte geht zurck bis nach Friendica, das 2010 vom selben ursprnglichen Entwickler an den Start gebracht wurde, also fnfeinhalb Jahre vor Mastodon, als Eugen Rochko noch zur Schule ging. Besagter Entwickler hat es 2011 zweimal geforkt und dann 2012 und 2015 jeweils grndlich umgebaut. So entstand Hubzilla, die mit Abstand mchtigste Fediverse-Serveranwendung und das genaue Gegenteil von Mastodon. Du kannst es dir vorstellen als Facebook trifft WordPress trifft GeoCities trifft Google Cloud Services trifft noch einiges mehr an Zeugs. Sachen, die fr Mastodon vllig unvorstellbar sind, kann es schon lnger, als es Mastodon berhaupt gibt. Mit Mastodon kommunizieren kann es trotzdem.
tldr: Im Fediverse gibt es Sachen, die sehr viel mchtiger sind als Mastodon. Und es gibt sie schon lnger als Mastodon selbst. Mit Mastodon fing im Fediverse gar nichts an, hchstens die als selbstverstndlich und gottgegeben angesehene Mastodon-Zentrizitt und der Glaube, das Fediverse sei nur Mastodon.

1973 Vintage Magazine Cover - Nostalgic Fashion and Style
The image is a vintage magazine cover featuring two individuals in close proximity, with one partially obscuring the other. The person on the left wears a brown suede coat or jacket adorned with what appears to be fur detailing around the collar area. Their hair seems dark and possibly styled loosely.
On the right side of the photo, there's another individual who has their hand resting under their chin in a thoughtful pose, wearing a long-sleeved sweater that matches the color scheme of the brown coat on the left. The lighting is soft, with some highlights reflecting off what could be strands of hair or surface texture.
The overall aesthetic suggests a fashion spread from decades past, capturing a moment between two people dressed in warm clothing suitable for cooler weather. This image may evoke feelings associated with nostalgia and style trends of earlier times.
No discernible text is present within the visible portion of this cover.

Driver flees after collision in LongBranch
Toronto police say a male has been taken to a hospital after he was involved in a two-vehicle collision on Tuesday night. The incident occurred in the Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty First Street area just after 8:45 p.m., according to police. Investigators say one of the drivers fled on foot. Meanwhile the male in his 20s was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. ,
No, but neither are the authors of these 5 references that I've listed on the page I've linked to. They all say that "Photo of" does not belong into alt-text. One of them is even on Mastodon.by

I've only used AI for image descriptions twice. It was LLaVA. And that was not for actual productive use, but to pit it directly against my own hand-written descriptions. I had described the images myself before I let the AI loose on it.In my opinion, the results were abysmal. But that was to be expected.
Granted, I had unfair advantages. For one, the images showed something so extremely obscure that the AI barely had an idea of what it was looking at I did. Besides, the AI had to describe the image by looking at the image at its very limited resolution. I could describe the image by looking at the original at a near-infinite resolution. This is also why the AI didn't even transcribe one bit of text in the image, and I transcribed them all.
