Meine IT Datenschutz Liste für alle !! 2025

ヘイトスピーチを除いた言論の自由って何だろう？

常にアジアのサイトを選ぼう。

そうすれば、投稿やアカウントが誰かに嫌われただけで「消える」ことなく、ものごとをはっきり言ったり、意見が違っても安心だ。

アメリカやヨーロッパなら安全だと思うかもしれないけど、実際はそうじゃない。

#Fediverse #Mastodon #Misskey #PixelFed #PeerTube #Asia

What freedom of speech, but without hate speech?

Always pick an Asian site.

You'll have better odds of being able to call a spade a space, and even disagree with someone, without your post or account going "poof".

You'd think the United States or Europe would be a safe bet. It's not.

Hallo #fediverse ,

mit sofortiger Wirkung trennen wir uns von unserem langjährigen Lieferanten

#conrad Electronics ,
https://conrad.de

weil das Unternehmen Mitglied in folgenden Lobbyvereinen ist:

#familienunternehmer
https://www.familienunternehmer.eu/

UND

#familienunternehmen
https://www.familienunternehmen.de/

Wir sind der Ansicht, dass die Ziele der beiden Vereine/Institutionen
unseren Zielen entgegenstehen.

Dazu gehört: u.a.
#co2reduktion
#Gleichbehandlung
#Steuergerechtigkeit

Moin #Fediverse und kleine Frage an die #Linux Community - Stichwort Gaming unterm Penguin.... #Bazzite oder #CachyOS oder vielleicht sogar #SteamOS ?

Ich haue #Windows nun von meinem Gamingrechner runter. Schon recht betagter Intel 10900K aber mit ner 4070TI.

Was wuerdet ihr nehmen und warum?

Ein Computer-Monitor zeigt eine große weiße Schrift auf blauem Hintergrund: „GOODBYE WINDOWS. PERMANENTLY REMOVING OS… PROGRESS: 100%“. Darunter steht kleiner: „Drive Wiped. Ready for new beginning.“ Rechts neben dem Monitor steht ein PC-Gehäuse mit beleuchtetem RGB-Lüfter und einem eingesteckten USB-Stick, der mit „Linux Mint Installer“ beschriftet ist. Auf dem Schreibtisch liegt eine Windows-10-DVD neben Tastatur und Maus.

Be careful what you favourite on Mastodon. An old post can be edited with statements you don’t believe in or of hatred. Third party apps may not refresh the post until you interact with them.

I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

@admin

When I joined years ago it was easy. I picked a server at random. I chose the server from the rotating list that you see when you go to Mastodon. It was a server that immediately allowed you to post.

Just like with MMORPG {massive multiplayer online role-playing games}, I knew that I needed accounts on different servers.

So I created other accounts on other servers which had good up times from the beginning.

There was a rotating list you could choose from that you immediately saw, when you were first confronted with a FediVerse.

The default client never adviced you to join mastodon.social on the contrary

From my POV it's still easy. However that can differ for the casual user

#FediVerse #Mastodon #technology #programming #defederation #moderation #power #donations

@guyjantic

There is no one entity who does that {<dis>allowing}

The fact that mastodon.social changed "without warning* the **critical policy** of rotating suggested servers, is highly suspect of a corporate entity pulling strings {read USD / EUR payment}.

This is conjecture, it is not factual, I can't prove it.

The fact however that I'm bringing my mind to that level, means that trust has been broken in the mastodon.social server, which abused the official clients they code, to plug their server, negating the many smaller servers growth.

Mastodon.social has the same weight as any other Federated Server.

We should not have let it come so far. It's become a mammoth that needs to be brought back in line.

Complacency brought us to this level

Für alle, denen das vielleicht nicht bewusst ist:
Jeder (text-basierte) FediVerse-Account kann per RSS-Feed abonniert werden.
Das ist elementarer Bestandteil des ActivityPub-Protokolls.
Korrektur:
RSS ist nicht im ActivityPub-Protokoll spezifiziert.
Da habe ich mich vor absenden nicht gut genug informiert, sorry.

"Geschützter Account", "geblockt", spielt alles keine Rolle.
Alles, was ihr (ich auch) hier persönliches, privates, intimes, usw. *öffentlich* schreibt, können sich Personen in ihren RSS-Reader importieren und darüber lesen, inkl. Antworten, die ihr an andere schreibt, inkl. geboostete Beiträge.
(Gilt wohl nicht für Beiträge, die "nur an Folgende" gehen.)

Das FediVerse ist also kein "geschlossener, geschützter Raum", kein "Silo", nicht nur eine App auf eurem Smartphone, sondern u.U. eine (quasi-öffentliche) Web-Anwendung.

Klar, ein "geblockter" Account kann nicht mit eurem Account interagieren, lesen per RSS aber weiterhin.

Egal, ob zB
ard.social/@tagesschau.rss
troet.cafe/@ndaktuell.rss
climatejustice.global/@parents4future.rss

Ich verlinke hier bewusst mal keine privaten Accounts, das könnt ihr selber testen.

Wobei es einzelne Instanzen gibt, bei denen kein RSS aktiviert ist.
Sollte das bei eurer Instanz der Fall sein, könnt ihr ja gerne hier kommentieren.

Vielleicht ja auch interessant für alle, die #NeuHier sind.

#FediVerse #RSS #ActivityPub

Another critical section highlighted

Guarding our Federated Network is critical for the infrastructure.
The change is IMHO not just irresponsible, it's a deliberate concentration of users.

Luckily we can reverse the trend, if needed without the blessings of mastodon.social

Hello #Fediverse it is time once again for the #Blog to ask for your favourite album from a particular year. As always you can give as may honourable mentions as you like, just make it clear which one is your overall choice. So in order to determine the album of the year as chosen by users of the Fediverse for 1997, what have you got? (Previous years in following post)

Mastodon, Matrix, ActivityPub, XMPP, ATProto. whatever your flavor of decentralization is, there’s room for you.

Submit your proposal to the Decentralized Communication devroom at FOSDEM before the end of this week!

I remember joining the fediverse and staring at this empty feed, feeling completely lost. Coming from algorithms that constantly fed me content, the silence was disorienting. Like everyone else knew where the party was and I was just standing in an empty room.

So I built @hypebot to fix that. It finds quality trending posts across instances and boosts them to your feed, so you get to discover what's happening across the fediverse without the algorithmic manipulation you left behind.

If your feed feels empty right now, give it a follow. It's there to help.

#Fediverse #FediTips #trending #mastodon #goingdark

I left mainstream platforms completely burned out and found the fediverse, and god it felt like I could finally breathe again without someone tracking every single thing I did.

But even here I kept wondering who actually protects my data when someone comes asking for it, and I realized I didn't want to trust anyone else with that answer.

So I run https://goingdark.social now because I wanted that certainty for myself and my community. When someone demands data or tries to shut down what we talk about, I'm the one who gets to say no and take whatever comes with that.

I pay for this out of pocket because it matters to me, and your admin is probably doing the same thing, maybe a father of three running a server from his home office, a single mom keeping her community safe between work shifts, an older gentleman who remembers what the internet used to feel like before corporations owned everything.

That's how this whole thing works, regular people running small spaces because they care, all of us building something no single company or government can control. We're doing this together and every small instance matters.

Support your local instance admin however you can. They're keeping this alive for all of us.

Liebes #fediverse kennt evtl. jemand Untersuchung dazu, wieviel traffic / Rechenzentren-Kapazität eigentlich für Leerlauf oder bloßen Komfort drauf geht; lässt sich das solide bestimmen?

Wenn man z.B. sagen würde: ich abonniere eine Streaming-Show, aber ich muss die neueste Folge nicht unmittelbar immer am Release-Tag sehen (Freitags bin ich ohnehin zu kaputt), dann könnte die Folge doch ganz in Ruhe und mit niedrigerer Bandbreite (/Latenz?) auf mein Gerät tröpfeln und da auf mich warten, oder?

mastodon.social has a spammer problem. I have increased my blocks 300% today, all were from mastodon.social.

Perhaps they've always had it and I just didn't see them (due to using Akkoma at the time, which has great spam protection) but now when I'm on other services (Sharkey) it is glaringly obvious the problem is mastodon.social.

@FediGarden #mastodonSocial seems to have become the #twitter of the #fediverse. If the percentage of #badApples is constant, they obviously have the most. It is obviously against the ideals that created the whole thing. Size breeds power, and power corrupts.
#SupportYourLocalInstance! Local with respect to interests, not necessarily geography.

Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?

Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞

Graph showing twelve different Mastodon servers with their percentage of the active Fediverse on the Y axis. Mastodon.social has almost 30% of active Fediverse users while all other servers have about 1% or less. Caption under chart says "Largest Mastodon servers vs % of active Fediverse, 21st November 2025, data from FediDB.com" Another caption next to the bar for mastodon.social says "Percentage occupied by mastodon.social is growing! It used to be less than 15%! JoinMastodon.org and official Mastodon apps are STILL promoting mastodon.social!"

How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.

Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog from each site. It is an imperfect measure - and a vain one - but lets me know where I should be spending my time. No point posting on a network which is just bots talking to each other, right?

Earlier this year I built a stats-counter for my blog. Every time someone clicks from a website which links to my blog, it records that visit in a database. I get to see which blog posts are doing numbers, and where those numbers came from.

Until fairly recently, the Mastodon social network didn't send referer details. I thought that reduced the visibility of the network and lobbied for it to change. As various Mastodon servers upgrade, and admins opt-in, it is becoming more apparent just how much traffic originates from the Fediverse.

Over the last few weeks, here's how many people have clicked from BlueSky and Mastodon to one of my blog posts.

At first glance, it doesn't look good for our elephantine friends, does it? The butterfly sends over twice the traffic. Game over!

But, of course, while Mastodon.social is the biggest instance - it is far from the only one. What happens if we slide down the long tail? Here's all the Mastodon-ish instances which sent me over 10 clicks.

Sites sending < 10 clicks

Ah! Add them all up and you get a grand total of 1,773 visitors from Mastodon-powered sites. That's more than BlueSky.

Now, there are some obvious caveats to the data:

• I have a smaller follower count on BlueSky than I do on Mastodon.
• My posts may appeal more to one demographic than another.
• People may have strict privacy controls which suppress the true volume of visitors.
• There's no way to measure how long someone spends reading my posts.
• RSS and newsletter visitors aren't counted.
• Clicks from apps may not always show a referer.
• Some people may be on multiple services.
• Fediverse users can follow the post directly, so don't need to visit the site to read it.

And yet… no matter how you slice it, Fediverse servers are sending as much traffic as BlueSky!

I think this is brilliant. Web services should be able to scale from small to big - and each ActivityPub-powered site helps power the open Internet.

Just for completeness, this is how Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Lemmy do over the same period:

If you add up all the Lemmy instances, they send about as much traffic as Facebook and LinkedIn combined. That's not a huge surprise - those platforms hate anyone clicking away to the wider web.

Twitter is basically the Dead Internet. I'm no longer on there, but I do occasionally search it to see who is sharing my posts. The popular posts I write get shared a lot - sometimes by accounts with huge followers - yet there are no comments or retweets and barely and clicks.

I don't do Instagram or Threads, and that might be reflected in their low numbers. But I'm not active on YouTube either - yet people there occasionally link back to me.

Final Thoughts

Firstly, my stats only represent my site. Your site might be very different.

Secondly, I've ignored search engine traffic, big blogs, newsletters, and other sources.

Thirdly, and most importantly, this isn't a competition! The desire for a "winner-takes-all" service is dangerous and disturbing. An ecosystem is at its most vibrant when there are multiple participants each thriving in their own niche.

I want a thousand sites, running a hundred different software stacks, some of which only serve a dozen people, or even a lone participant.

Diversity is strength.
