Ich habe mal versucht, das #Fediverse anhand eines Stadtmodells zu erläutern.

Hier:
https://mastodonium.de/@tagestipp/1549

#Fediverse setzt sich zusammen aus "federated universe", also dem Begriff des föderierten Universums. Halb eingedeutscht landet man bei #Fediversum.

#Mastodon ist eine Serversoftware, mit der man eine Instanz (einen Knotenpunkt) innerhalb des #Fediverse betreiben kann.

Es gibt diverse weitere, z.B. #Pixelfed, #PeerTube, usw. - mit ähnlichen oder auch unterschiedlichen thematischen Schwerpunkten.

Untereinander sprechen die verschiedenen Instanzen über ein offenes Protokoll, aktuell ist dies meist #ActivityPub.

Da #ActivityPub ein Standardprotokoll ist, kann es beliebig implementiert werden, so daß auch neue Software für das #Fediverse entsteht. Oder vorhandene Software einen Anschluß bekommt, wie z.B. #WordPress.

Es gibt mit dem #Fediverse also tatsächlich ein ganzes Universum zu entdecken... mit vielen Planeten... :-)

Dieser Beitrag wurde übrigens auf einer Instanz verfaßt, die #Mammuthus als Software einsetzt.

The latest update on the AI-generated #ActivityPub server in C++... it now supports publishing signed messages and actors can be configured to autorespond. One autoresponder will use a local LLM (ollama) to generate responses to direct messages. Overall, the experiment has been useful. The code is not the greatest, but it works, which really surprises me. However, I'm seeing the agent having more issues as the complexity of the code increases. I may need to step in and write some code myself. 😮

"As it turns out, the current plan to tie Tumblr into the open social web will come about by way of the site’s planned move to the WordPress infrastructure.

Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today."

Link at end but I am amused by the replies and discourse to this article for the bafflement regarding the existance of small Fedi, Fedi users that don’t want to interact with the whole of users. Small Fedi has people that honestly just want to be left the fuck alone. The more tech minded of the Fedi, big Fedi, as described here, is astonished such a thing could exist and my sides are splitting from them realizing not everybody wants to talk to you. wedistribute.org/2025/03/websi #Fediverse #ActivityPub #privacy
