Some #MastodonTools I use: Mastometrics [@mastometrics]( ) and Analytodon @npub13atk...3z25 can be useful for those running project or org accounts, for example tracking popular posts and follower growth. When I came to the #fediverse I didn’t want to be a slave to metrics, likes, etc - and I don’t think that’s the right reason to use a social platform, overall (community, social sharing and conversation are why I’m social). These tools are not essential, but you *may* find them interesting and useful.
It was an honour and pleasure to close out the #SocialWebFOSDEM programming last night with #FediverseForFreedom, based on my blog post of the same title last year. Let’s build together this year, and return to share our progress at #FOSDEM in 2026 🙌🏻#fediverse image
The Ghost approach to #ActivityPub looks great. They get it. Real engagement and ongoing conversations not just broadcasting. I had a similar experience when Mastodon replies started showing up as comments in WordPress, but Ghost is really building this into the core with the reader view as well. “You can’t be on the social web without being social.” #FOSDEM #SocialWebFOSDEM
Absolutely steaming furious about the latest news on the tragedy in DC. Liars, refusing to take any sort of blame? at the top. Those responsible, the people now in power in America, Trump and Musk, are *children*. These are men who have never taken personal responsibility, or understood the basic concept of responsibility - the absolute measure of reasonable, adult behaviour. Unacceptable. Simply unacceptable. They must be held accountable.
This is great - @npub1tlfg...wz08 has launched an @npub14h9z...7ass to help sustain the project. This is a great library and framework that is helping many other projects grow into the #fediverse. Shout-out to @npub1upgp...9n89! (also to @Liaizon Wakest for posting about it as well)
We could all do with more music from independent artists in our lives, so I wrote about how I'm trying to help with that, in my own small way. #Fediverse #TheIndieBeat #Bandwagon #Linux
