Mastodawn

3/6 🧵

Pas besoin d’investir des millions pour développer une plateforme qui prendra des années à bâtir. #Qlub est là et prêt à l’utilisation… depuis un an.

C'est gratuit! @catouma en parlait à #FediMTL.

Newsmast Foundation Mar 3

It's been a busy couple of weeks here at the Newsmast Foundation.

After visiting #FediMTL in Montréal last week, then going straight to Wales for the launch of the Tŵt app with @teamtoot , then to Copenhagen for Rebuild, whilst attending @fediforum online, you might think we're going to quiet down for the next couple of weeks 👀

Wrong!

We're still working hard to bring more people meaningful community on the Social Web ⚡️

I've been so busy preparing for FediMTL the past two weeks that I totally forgot to actually register for the FediForum unworkshop!

Oops! I look forward to reading the discussions that ensue from it though.

Less scroll. More soul.

@julian presented a case study on building community from the ground up — making the case for forums over feeds at @info

Before attending #fedimtl I always treated mastodon as one big thing. I understood that there are connected instances but it's thanks to the talk @saskia gave that I've started to see it as a collection of communities who can talk to each other rather than servers on a network.

Ouf 😮‍💨 ce fut une grosse (mais très bonne!) semaine pour #Qlub avec l’événement #FediMTL Et des semaines encore plus chargées nous attendent (la raison pour mon café en ce vendredi après-midi ☕😅) Je vous en dis plus demain! 😉

#askfedi will there be any videos of the #fediMTL posted after the conference? Preferably on #peertube of course:)

Promoting NodeBB/fedi to city-scale organizations

@[email protected] asks:

NodeBB strikes me as the best aligned of the extant platforms for municipal governments. Here's a question for julian: is he prepared for, or interested in, a promotion program to city-scale organizations?

To which I answered, simply: "Yes."

Now that I have the time to expand on my answer:

Yes, absolutely! There is definitely a space for municipal city-scale adoption of the fediverse through properties that they alone control, but federate widely. [...]

So, one thing I said at #FediMTL yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update.

If you *want* to see gore, racist harassment, or transphobia, you can consciously remove those sites from your blocklist. If you want to subscribe to a different blocklist, you should get to do that, too.

Fediverse admins shouldn't have to learn how to find the DNI list and install it the hard way.
