I'm curious… what's the definition of "active users" versus "total users" regarding #Fediverse instances? How are those calculated?
The Pixelfed instance I'm on reports well over 100k users, but only 5.4k active users. I don't see how there are that many inactive users. What's up? 🤔
The other (not this one) Mastodon instance I'm on has more active users but far fewer total.
The alpha version of @gotosocial now has support for allowlists.
Allowlists automatically prevent federation with all other servers, except those that the admin has added to their allowlist. (Traditional blocklists work the other way round, allowing all federation unless a server is blocked.)
Allowlists bring more safety but also reduce reach, and that's why it's up to each admin to decide whether to use them.
p.s. For non-techy people wondering what GoToSocial is, it's another kind of Fediverse server.
It's compatible with Mastodon, so GoToSocial and Mastodon users can follow each other, but GoToSocial is made by totally different developers and uses totally different software.
The emphasis on GoToSocial is being "lightweight", so servers use fewer resources. They're also trying to emphasise user safety,
GoToSocial is still in development, but should be going to beta testing next year. 🤞
Our CEO, @mike just launched a new podcast series titled "Dot Social" to explore the evolution of the internet and how new open standards, like #ActivityPub, can forever change the web and the world of social media.
“Man the Hunter has dominated the study of human evolution for nearly half a century & pervaded popular culture. [But] it was the arrival of agriculture that led to rigid gendered roles & economic inequality. Hunting belonged to everyone.”
@dansup sad to hear. One of the reasons we decided to ask people to subscribe for Murmel upfront. While we are all for freedom of the web, it’s unrealistic to expect that anything running on a single person or a small-team’s voluntary effort will survive over the long-term. Life happens.
I've never stopped feeling angry about the NYT's story from last November which fearmongered heavily about puberty blockers and the supposed risks to bone health they might bring.
So it is with grim satisfaction that I can report on a new study, in JAMA Pediatricts, that suggests fears about bone density have been wildly overstated. #science#trans#journalism#mediabias#news
I had forgotten what the internet used to be like 20 or more years ago.
But it's just occurred to me that a couple of hours ago I asked a bunch of random strangers a fairly random question (about repairing a broken watch) and quickly got back multiple helpful and informative replies.
This is what the net used to be like, back in the days of usenet and email lists and the early web forums. And most people have probably never experienced it at all, their impression of social media being very different from those of us here on the Fediverse.
PS: It's probably very unfair to call you "random strangers". Even in just the 18 months I've been here I've found and chatted with people I'm happy to call friends, even though I've never met them face-to-face.

Just a heads up. The latest Friendica is going to have some nomenclature changes for Groups (now called Circles) and a reordering of action buttons on posts/comments to align with the order other sites use. Along with some other bug fixes and tweaks, I'm updating Relatica to reflect that as well. #relatica#friendica#fediverse
There are those who believe they can bring into existence what they imagine.
On the other hand, there are those who don't even believe other people exist: they think their mind is the one forming images and that others are part of their mind.
As for me, I am intelligent and I believe in God.
Water did not create itself.
Let me hear from atheists who think water created itself.
I have a friend, who is a carpenter. I swear he can imagine a beautiful wooden cabinet, and with some hours of work with right tools and materials, honest, he can bring it into existence. It’s amazing!
