Enjoying the Fediverse
Reading Time: 2 minutesAt the moment I feel myself drifting away from Facebook because although I like seeing the hikes that people share and the potential groups I could join I do not like the leadership of that site. I also muted the two whatsapp groups that I follow from GoSocial because I want to…

Conversing to the Fediverse With WordPress
Reading Time: < 1 minuteRecently I saw a post stating that WordPress can speak with the fediverse more effectively. For months we could post to the fediverse but if we replied to a toot via WordPress it would be lost. Those on Mastodon instances would comment but be "ignored". For months I thought that it…

Threads Thoughts
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor several days I have replaced Facebook with Threads and the experience has been good. I have found that the community, so far, is ordinary, rather than geeky, and friendly rather than trolling or flamey. I have been posting and commenting for a few days now and although four or five comments…

The Fediverse is Dead to Me
Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday I defederated my blog from the fediverse, and I removed the plugin from my blog this morning. I will probably never return to the Fediverse, whether Mastodon or other, for the forseeable future. ## The Hostile Response The reason for this is the following. A person asked a question. I gave…

Dormant Social Media Life While Sorting Through Drives
Reading Time: 4 minutesRecently my Social Media Life has become dormant. I do visit Facebook every so often but I ignore Instagram, barely touch Mastodon or the fediverse, and in general have stopped looking at social media for a social life.

They take a utilitarian approach to social media, which makes it absurd. The second reason is that we see how ignorant the…

Threads and the Fediverse
Reading Time: 3 minutesA few weeks ago I was completely opposed to Threads being connected and accepted by the Fediverse because I hated the idea of 100 million users flooding a social network with 10 million users. Now that threads has imploded I feel differently. Now that Threads is the same size as the Frediverse,…

The Post Social Media Age
Reading Time: 3 minutesSomeone asked Is decentralization the future of social media? and I’d take an extra leap. I believe that the Fediverse, made possible by ActivityPub, and the other one, made possible by the Authenticated Transfer Protocol both point to a different future Playing With WordPress, ClassicPress and Firefish As we play with the…

ClassicPress and the Fediverse part deux
Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter my first post about playing with ClassicPress and the Fediverse it was suggested that I try the nightly build of ClassicPress so I did. The result can be seen here. Mastodon and Firefish I have tested integration with the fediverse via Mastodon.social but also firefish.social and mastodon.social is faster, but mastodon.social…

More Experimenting with ClassicPress
Reading Time: 2 minutesAlthough I didn’t achieve what I set out to achieve I have been experimenting with ClassicPress and the Fediverse, but rather than do it from my main blog I have decided to experiment within a subdomain and so far I have achieved much. I see that activitypub and webfinger can be installed…
