Social networks, and websites with a social element, are starting to migrate from being walled gardens towards interoperation and open standards. This is comparable to the adoption of email standards by companies such as AOL in the 1990's....

For example, things you do often but not often enough to make a muscle memory? On Linux systems with Bash, I just use bash aliases. If I do it more than once, It gets an alias or a script; cause I won’t remember next time. Example of my current desktop aliases :...
Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.
Uploading GIFs on this site has been hit-or-miss for the few months I've been here, but where they used to fail with an error page a while back, the GIF is now quietly discarded from the thread.

It's been great, it is the best way for me to experience the #fediverse, I used mastodon and firefish before, but I think I like more the community format, and not losing the possibility to follow...
From the description:...
I started on kbin.social with this account, then moved out to kbin.cafe to try to avoid overloading the flagship instance and help out with decentralization. Then the admin went inactive, so I fled to kbin.run. This is active and I am satisfied, but it is also running Mbin, a fork of Kbin. I'd like to try regular Kbin again, but...
Flipboard has recently begun federation, starting with 25 accounts. These accounts can be viewed from Kbin with their posts showing up as microblog posts....
Today we are beginning to open Flipboard to the Fediverse, a rapidly emerging part of the Web which includes social services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Firefish and PeerTube all built on a revolutionary open protocol called ActivityPub....
Check this out. Remember that Facebook isn't just the place where moms and aunts swap recipes:...
