Episode 227:A tutorial on Mona for Mastodon, the most powerful, accessible way to do Mastodon on your iPhone, iPad and Mac

This special episode is devoted to Mona, a Mastodon app for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. It has exceptional VoiceOver accessibility, and during its development, the developer has consulted extensively with the blind community.

PeerTube is the Fediverse's video platform. You can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts entirely within Mastodon if you prefer, or you can sign up on a PeerTube server if you want.

I run a website to help people explore and use PeerTube:

➡️ fedi.video

The website also has an account boosting interesting PeerTube videos at:

➡️ @FediVideo

There is a long thread full of nice PeerTube accounts to follow at:

When it comes to #tracking users, the focus is often on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.

The European data protection group noyb @noybeu filed a complaint against #X / #Twitter last year for violating the #GDPR:
👉 noyb.eu/en/gdpr-complaint-agai…

As determined by noyb, the company collects sensitive data such as political views and religious beliefs by monitoring clicks, likes and responses to posts on its own platform.
Felix Mikolasch, data protection lawyer at noyb: “After we filed our first complaint in this matter, the EU Commission has already confirmed to stop advertising on X. However, to put an end to this in general, we need enforcement against X as a platform used by many others.”

In our petition
👉 openpetition.de/Unis4Mastodon
we pointed out the #DataProtection problems with the major platforms and thus recommend the use of #Fediverse services at #universities.

GDPR complaint against X (Twitter) over illegal micro-targeting for chat control ads

X enabled the illegal political micro-targeting used by the EU Commission

A few questions about your #fediverse experience and a brief Q & A about how things are going so far, if I may:

¹ How has administration of your #fediverse instance served you so far?

² Have you felt that the investment has been worth the overhead so far owning your own data and providing your reporters 1:1 interactions with the public when you own the server platform for applying your rules and values as a applied to the #fediverse?

³ How has this experience differed from other Social Media platforms that you have zero control over vs. the #fediverse ?

⁴ Do you see #interoperability tests with other decentralized networks as a future engagement point in your roadmap & also as a valuable data point to compare with other centralized zero control by you platforms currently?

Thanks! Answer at your leisure. I have no deadline for anything.

Cheers!

#Reichweite
wird oft genannt, wenn Mastodon mit #X/Twitter verglichen wird.
Doch auf den Seiten einiger #Hochschulen fehlt das Mastodon-Logo samt Link auf den Account –
selbst wenn der besteht.

Also, liebe Hochschulen:
verlinkt mit dem #MastodonLogo bitte Eure Timeline im #Fediverse –
dort warten viele neue Follower

Mein persönliches Statement des Tages:

#fediverse #threads

The open letter to the German Rectors' Conference #HRK, which calls on universities to use #Mastodon and other #Fediverse servers
openpetition.de/petition/onlin… ,
was first signed by the following colleagues:

Prof. Dr. Mario Birkholz, Berlin; Prof. Dr. Björn Brembs, Regensburg; Prof. Dr. Ulrich Dirnagl, Berlin; Prof. Dr. Leonhard Dobusch, Innsbruck; Prof. Dr. Konrad Förstner, Köln; Lambert Heller, Hannover; Annette Hiller, Berlin; Alexander Hoffmeier, Berlin; Dr. Martin Kögler, Oulu; Mike Kuketz, Karlsruhe; David Lohner, Karlsruhe; Matthias Marx, Hamburg; Prof. Dr. Rainer Mühlhoff, Osnabrück; Prof. Dr. Claudia Müller-Birn, Berlin; Dr. Mattis Neiling, Berlin; Christian Pietsch, Bielefeld; Prof. Dr.-Ing. Maija Poikela, Berlin; Rainer Rehak, Berlin; PD Dr. Stefan Rödiger, Senftenberg; Nicole Wolf, München.

We, the Aktionsbündnis neue Soziale Medien (New Social Media Action Alliance) today appealed to #universities in Germany to shut down their #X (formerly #Twitter) accounts as soon as possible.

Signatures for the appeal, written as an open letter, are now being collected on the #OpenPetition platform 📝
openpetition.de/petition/onlin…

The appeal points out that the presence on X/Twitter does not do justice to the universities' remit to provide information because of the #disinformation and political agitation practised there. At the same time, presences should be established on #Mastodon and other services in the #Fediverse, whose decentralised and moderated design is much more compatible with the rules of democratic and sustainable coexistence.

Shame on you @mozilla!

Bin echt gespannt, wie sich das weiter entwickeln wird.

#Mastodon #SocialMedia

We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.

Challenge accepted. 👍

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

Public Broadcasters of Europe, Let's All Join Mastodon!

In this guest post, Alexander Plaum, Innovation Manager at Deutsche Welle (DW), writes about his team's exceptionally positive experience with microblogging in the Fediverse.

Mastodon | Frage: Beiträge eines anderen Fediverse Accounts automatisch weiter geben?

Gibt es bei Mastodon die Möglichkeit die Beiträge eines anderen Fediverse Accounts automatisch weiterzugeben?

#Mastodon #Frage #Fediverse #Account #Weitersagen #Sascha #2024-03-06

In den anderen sozialen Netzwerken gibt es gerade einen kleinen Trend, der es wohl noch nicht ins #Fediverse geschafft hat.

Den Beitrag, den unser Karriereteam für Instagram produziert hat, wollten wir euch aber nicht vorenthalten. 😉

Bitte entschuldigt daher das für Mastodon untypische Format.

#wirsind

Leider erst heute gesehen. @linuzifer zum Thema "Politische Äußerungen" in den sozialen Medien. Richtige Analyse, man sollte nur bitte nicht zu sehr vereinfachen. Radikale Ansichten sind weiterhin nur Randerscheinungen im #Fediverse. Denen sollte man nicht zu viel Raum geben.

Und ja, die Brücken zu #Bluesky und #tumblr sind schon längst Realität. Nur nicht für Mastodon-Nutzende.
