dComms is a research driven project. Beyond setting up infrastructure for decentralized communications, we're also conducting a first of its kind survey on #migrations of civil society organizations towards #federated tools. We analyzed 20 countries as candidates for hosting our toolkits and ended up with 11 countries as a short-list. We conducted a series of surveys and interviews with CSOs and learned a lot about perceptions and hopes associated with the #Fediverse (see thread to learn more)

Senne, a video producer, has joined Exquisite.tube and just uploaded their first music video: Funky Tears :: WZA - take a look and give it a listen, I think it is fantastic.

The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.

With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

Posting and pinning this because Soatok's misinformation has infected far too many. *Everyone* needs to read this in its entirety, *especially* all the #Signal Kool-Aid drinkers.

*And* the response from OMEMO author Tim Henke, which Soatok saw fit to redact from their post comments.

what #spotify #alternatives are out there? specifically looking for something #federated like #funkwhale, but i’m getting the feeling it won’t really replace my music discovery itch. i’d love something that has a baseline catalog of some music that i already listen to/want to listen to, and i can’t seem to find a good way to find pods. would love something advice, i hate indirectly giving my money to rogan and tate

Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.

A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.

Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse

I'm for making #Tweet the new Kleenex/Hovercraft/Thermos of the #federated world for 'text posting', just to piss off the man who tried to excise the term from our culture.

Hats off to all the #cooperatives and #federated folks doing cool things right now to address some of what’s mentioned in this article.

As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.

I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).

1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:

#introduction

Hi world, I'm a #lemmy and #mastodon server owner and admin.

For the last (almost) 2 years, I've been running Lemmy.zip, which is currently in the top 15 most active Lemmy instances.

I'm now trying out hosting other #federated software, such as Mastodon.

And yes, I love a .zip domain

  
Greetings Earthlings, Is Anybody There?

For immediate release:
❛❛ An enterprising group of time travel enthusiasts, having only limited resources, claims they will be attempting to contact time travelers on Friday, March 14, 2025, 07:00 UTC — which is less than one month away.

On the date is a total lunar eclipse, when the Moon is darkened by the Earth's shadow for a brief period of time. Such an alignment typically lasts for around one hour. Members of The Krononaut Moon Project assert that using the total lunar eclipse as a signal to visitors from other dimensions or worlds is a perfect mechanism for synching up indie "landing receptions" around the planet. Community participants are invited to observe the celestial events however you like. You could fire up a candle or a bonfire, dance around a sacred drum circle, or connect with your past and future selves to become one with the cosmos — all under the Full "Worm Moon" of March. Observers are encouraged to take many photos of the Moon, noting any anomalous phenomena, and to share your digital documentation with the @KronoMoonPhotos page on the #Mastodon #Federated social media network. Anytime Thursday &/or Friday after dark local time is in keeping with the spirit and logic of the occasion.

According to the Krononauts group, a more commonly occurring partial or penumbral eclipse is not optimal for time travel encounters. Total lunar eclipses work best. They have a very eccentric periodicity, appearing on average once in 13 months. In this way they do not repeat on Gregorian or other terrestrial calendric systems. Still, they can be readily calculated centuries in advance. Over the next year there will be 3 total lunar eclipses, aka, 3 "Krononaut Moons". All are invited, wherever you are.

"On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse,
Time Travelers descend in their space-time ships." ❜❜
