I am pleased to present you a small project that I have been working on these last weeks:
MARL (Mastodon Archive Reader Lite) is a small web app that allows you to explore in detail the content of your Mastodon posts archive, including attached files (images, videos, sounds), and with different search options.
Egunon! ☺️🌞 Euskal Herritik mundu berri baten alde borrokatzen garenok ezin dugu #Mastodon -en huts egin. Guk ere kontua ireki dugu! 🙌 @jauziekosoziala@bird.makeup
Jarrai gaitzatzu eta egin diezaiogun guztion artean aurre krisi ekosozialari. 📡Sare libreak internet aske eta jasangarri baterako! ✳️Trantsizio ekosoziala hobeto bizitzeko! #EginJauzi
When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of …

This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.
La semana pasada se inició un debate en la lista de distribución #IWETEL sobre redes sociales y #bibliotecas: en qué redes estar; por qué, etc. En varios mensajes salió #Mastodon, el #Fediverso y el libro de las redes son nuestras de Marta G. Franco. Yo lancé un mensaje con la idea de compartir recursos para iniciarse en Mastodon con listas sobre #ByD, #OpenSciense, #GLAMS, etc. @aordas me escribió para que quedase tipo post en Bibliogtecarios. ¡Ha quedado interesante! 📚
Ayer hubo un incremento de actividad notorio en el fediverso, nuestra instancia procesó 750k tareas y hoy un poco menos pero sigue alto, unas 680k. Veniamos con una media de unos 520k #fediverso#mastodon#undernet#uruguay
🤯 Lehen urratsak eman dituzue Mastodonen, baina... ba al zenekiten #Mastodon sare handiago baten parte dela?
1️⃣ #Fedibertsoa sare sozial askoren multzoa da. 2️⃣ Sare sozial horien erabiltzaileei beren artean komunikatzeko aukera ematen die. 3️⃣ Ez dago plataforma korporatiboen mende. 4️⃣ Hauek dira fedibertso eusalduna osatzen duten proiektuak https://fedibertsoa.eus/
🤩 Zuen Mastodon kontutik fedibertsoan dauden milaka erabiltzaile euskaldun jarrai ditzakezue.
«Aquell contracte social, que era “jo et dono les meves dades i et cedeixo una mica de privacitat a canvi que em deixis comunicar o informar-me a través de la teva infraestructura digital”, ja hi ha molta més gent que pensa que no val la pena.»
💲 La clase política y las redes privativas #Postvaríos😵💫
(...) La pregunta que lanzo, ante esto, es: ¿Es ético que los políticos y políticas dependan de plataformas privadas, propiedad de grandes tecnológicas, en lugar de alternativas abiertas y descentralizadas?
Hausnar dezagun segundo batez #Mastodon eta X sareen arteko alde txiki baina oso nabarmen bati buruz. Eta pentsa dezagun alde sotil horrek nola eragin diezaiokeen kazetaritza-piezen eta horiek idazten dituzten kazetarien ikusgarritasunari, adibidez. Informazioa nola eman behar den ulertzeko modu erabat kontrajarriak direlako: batek balioa ematen die eta besteak ezkutatu egiten ditu. Zein ote zein? #Fedibertsoa
