"Mastodon is picking up steam. Fun side effect: it’s very popular amongst Japanese people. Cultural differences make them feel unwelcome on Twitter and so many Mastodon instances are created by Japanese people, for Japanese people."

#Fediverse-Client #Whalebird
Whalebird ist ein Fediverse-Client für den #Desktop und nutzt die #Mastodon- #Client- #API, um sich mit Konten auf kompatiblen Instanzen zu verbinden.
Nach eigenen Angaben werden #Mastodon, #Pleroma und #Misskey gelistet. Und #Mammuthus funktioniert auch soweit.
Das von Akira Fukushima entwickelte Whalebird ist eine #Electron-Anwendung und steht für #Linux, #MacOS und #Windows zur Verfügung.

Why is Pixelfed an extra network and not just a Mastodon client?
Hey group,
Why is there not a Mastodon client to only utilize the media grid and pack it into an Instagram layout?
When I was exploring Bluesky and its clients a while ago, I actually liked the approach of having one central protocol and then having clients strip different masks over it. The Flashes app, for example, packed the media posts from your regular Microblog-profile into a Instagram-layout, while still keeping all your regular followings.
The federation between Pixelfed instances and Masto instances doesn’t seem to be 100% working to my eyes. Likewise, when I look at my Pixelfed account via Masto client, it doesnt show me the pictures in the media grid.
I know this touches the very core of ActivityPub federation, but during the last years I couldn’t figure out why fedi-networks never interacted completely.
Please correct me if I got something wrong or you know about obvious alternatives that I haven’t stumbled upon yet.
Cheers! Enjoy the sun today!

Since @everton137 has been awarding Members of the European Parliament who successfully persuade their colleagues to leave X, this idea is being expanded.
Now, this award goes to anyone who sends great emails or takes initiatives that help convince MPs from any European Parliament to leave X. Please, register it somewhere online.
Bonus points if you help them switch to the #Fediverse 😉
Full rules coming soon on the Leave X website.

Last year (mid-summer 2025), I said ICE was feeding children maggots and rotten, spoiled food.
My account on the Fediverse was suspended for supposedly spreading misinformation.
Well, today, what do people hear in the news?! 🤔 ICE is feeding children maggots and rotten, spoiled food.
The things I learn about while working for Meta (Facebook).
