realized there are at least 4 different organizations with a presence on the #fediverse selling phones:
@Fairphone / #Fairphone
@shiftphones / #Shift
@purism / #Purism
@murena / #Murena (#eFoundation / #eOS phone brand renamed)
the #fediverse is (sort of) in a Forbes article posted yesterday about @rabble and #SSB:
its featuring a photo of @cwebber at #DWeb camp and includes mentions of @staltz, @manyver_se, Dominic Tarr, #Āhau, #Bluesky, #Mastodon, #ActivityStreams, Paul Frazee, and a bunch of other buzzwords that are bizarrely smashed together into an article. Still quite interesting to see this stuff in a mainstream publication.
its also posted on HN:

Who else is working on this #fediverse feature?
turns out they found me thru @compost mag, we tried to have a call yesterday but timezones and email got lost in a shuffle so we will try again monday. I guess my plan is to ramble about how cool the #fediverse is, and shout out some other alt projects like people working on #xmpp and #ssb
Three #fediverse projects working on rendering stylized code blocks across multiple different software. A little standardization goes along way to make this happen!

Woah cool, @pixelfed was featured in a Verge article on alternatives to Instagram this week!

I signed up for an account to make a few corrections and discovered their #captcha is using @pixelfed as a spam deterrent! @dansup I am not sure thats what you had in mind when you were talking about fighting spam in the #fediverse but honestly this is a pretty cool approach
we need semantic tagging features on the fediverse or some sort of linked data thing. if I tag a post #fediverse that tag should also seen by people following #联邦宇宙 etc
is there a list of translations of all the pieces of the #fediverse in various langues? I guess wikidata is probably the best place for this sort of thing.
I came across a conversation in #Russian (I was reading it with autotranslate) it was cool to see some of the software not written in the Latin script for once.
Russian:
Fediverse = #Федиверс
#Pleroma = #Плерома
#Friendica = #Френдика
Chinese
Fediverse = #联邦宇宙
German
Fediverse = #Fediversum
Spanish
Fediverse = #Fediverso
hey #fediverse people:
has anyone made a fedi bot that lets you follow the posts from another fediverse user but translated into the language of your choice?
lets say @moss@grassy.feild only posts in german but I dont speak any german so instead of following them I dm @TranslationBot "follow @moss@grassy.feild in english" and then @TranslationBot makes a private repost account that replies to their public posts with the translation in english and tags me in it.
if I get a new follow on my single user instance from an instance I haven't interacted with it will show none of the posts of the user. I have to load the account in a external web browser to even see who the person is. this is a feature we need to work on making better its so annoying. and I havent seen any #fediverse project implementation of this yet even on zap zot friendica based fedi software
Gitea 1.17.0 was just released and it added support for #nodeinfo (how the #fediverse lists instances in places like https://www.fedidb.org/network) and they also added support for #webfinger (the protocol used to look up users by a url or @name@url.tld in the search field)
@humanetech @dansup @sl007 @mike @heluecht @grishka @nightpool @tchambers @yala @weex
ten months later and these discussions largely stalled out. @vpzom did make a post outlining how they implemented some of the ideas discussed into #Lotide and many discussions have come out of this discussion so all and all not a bad outcome but still I really hoped there might be a bit more agreement on how to move forward with #fediverse group #standardization in the last year
Just followed my first #Gitea account from the #fediverse! Here is now my first time mentioning a Gitea account: @Ta180m@git.exozy.me!
Thank you @ta180m@exozy.me for your work!
