Hello, World!
This is my #introduction to Mastodon.
I am a German #3D #artist and #creative specializing in #photorealistic 3D imagery.
I will post works and tests here from time to time and chat about CGI related topics.
One of my latest projects was it to re-built a raspberry pi in #cinema4d and render it in #octane
I am also using other 3d software as #blender and put out YouTube tutorials. Mostly for Octane-Render.
So I say happy #federating and a good time to you all!
Esteemed #Fediverse
in the past days I have read many threads about the importance of facts in social networks and federating them.
On the other hand, the co-founder of wikipedia, Dr. Larry Sanger wants to create a "censorship resistant federated wikipedia". He became an altright conspiracy theorist and is part of Trumps culture-revolution-thinktank.
My fear is that they will not only remove tax status but also target Jimmy Wales, contributors and in the end the org domains.
In the last sleepless night the @skyfaller wrote „Instead of Action News, perhaps we need actionable news.“ https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/114469269759393822
So, to whom it may concern;
In the following first long part of a long thread, I will leave some thoughts about #federating #wikidata and #wikipedia with #ActivityPub
🧵 1/10
@[email protected] Yep. Full ack Doing 3 ActivityPub Clients in this field. Actionable news means federated news. [see our book or pinned talk] The plan is :) 1) Making it super easy for anyone to create ActivityPub Clients. Diversity must be default. 2) Bringing facts to fedi, federating wikidata and OSM and centering anything around facts and common knowledge. This does not mean, that there is no feelings or fictional. Just anyone should have the ability to indicate fictionality. 3) Mutual help, we do menschys, another client for conneting and helping each other 4) Together with the data bring people to the streets, do quizzes or geogames from these, connect the physical community. 5) Different communities can enhance common data differently, e.g. a third client, taxiteam (FCK uber) comes with federated geocoding and local fair drivers can enhance Places or current events very detailed. 🧵 1/2
And, hey, for the record, I left my current instance when there were reports of racism between admins and mods at Eldritch.Cafe. It sucked in many ways. I moved several times after that, and was never quite satisfied with my new servers. Insufficient federation, or old software lacking features that I liked, and so on. BUT, it also showed me what didn't suck about moving around, notably, most of my links to my followers and followees remained intact, and unexpected new connections showed up too. And then, Eldritch got their act together, admins who had fucked up apologized publicly, and those who were harmed by their actions also explained why they were cool with the apologies and the planned, announced changes. And I was able to come back!
So my advice to you, tech.lgbt mufo, is to bite the bullet and pick a new instance. Learn to be portable, that's the source of your power as a person who isn't running a fediverse server yourself! It's totally possible that tech.lgbt admins can figure themselves out too. And if not, well, you've overcome that first hurdle, you've gained a new perspective on the fediverse, and you've helped put pressure on fellow community members to do a bit better by all of us. The whole process of porting an account takes less than 10 minutes easy, 5 minutes more typically.

Interested in a blog in the fediverse. I've tried to different write freely instances and federation doesn't seem to be working on mastodon. Any suggestions beyond mounting my own write simply instance or paying WordPress for their plugin?
