This article is a response to Tim Chambers' recent writeup, titled The Seven Deadly UX Sins of the Fediverse Web Experience (To Fix). It's a pretty great read, and I'm writing this not as a rebuttal, but to analyze and expand on the points made.
This week's fediverse news:
- Mastodon announces and retracts a new ToS for their instances
- Threads moves their fediverse integration to a separate feed
- Wanderer is a new fediverse platform for sharing your hiking and biking trails
- PieFed launches 1.0 version of the platform
My main instance, jlai.lu, will be celebrating its two years the 22 june. We are very happy and we plan to celebrate it with some game together and cooking. 😁
Inspired by a new introducing video and its reference to https://jointhefediverse.net/ , see link and discussion here: https://piefed.social/post/889659
Elena Rossini's accounts/blogs regarding fediverse, hosting etc. are worth following anyway, now she produced this cool video. Several subtitles were already contributed.
A quiet news week this week, as all the new announcements seem to be waiting for FediForum. FediForum will be this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Thursday I’ll hold a session on What’s new in the Open Social Web, so come check that out!
New design for video management and publication pages, rework of the display and filter system for sensitive content… this new version is ready for the summer!
Well, actually, PieFed.social has enabled it's API which means that the Android app Interstellar can be used with it. Find out more about the app at https://interstellar.jwr.one/.
