Copyright and DMCA Best Practices for Fediverse Operators

People building the future of the social web—interoperable and decentralized—need to protect themselves against copyright liability. This post gives an overview of the steps to take. It’s meant for operators of Mastodon and other ActivityPub servers, Bluesky hosts, RSS mirrors, and other decentralized social media protocols, and developers of apps for those protocols—but it will apply to other hosts as well.

Why Doesn’t Every City Have a Fediverse Server? – Hamish Campbell

"If you’re running your own, small #fediverseserver, this shows the importance of your server being well-connected, which can be achieved by simply following and interacting with people from a variety of servers.

And now I wonder, how many fediverse servers know about mine?

According to the tool I mentioned, I have #connections, that is followers and accounts I follow, across 787 servers. That’s quite a bit!"

How federated is my fediverse server?

#FediverseServer #migrateaccount #queer #magic #discordianism #poetry #writing #transgirls #conlangs #shorthand #abjad #abugida #tarot I'm thinking of changing instances, not for any lack of love for the home I'm in (if I did leave I think I would start another account here, just because sdf will always be home) but out of my natural wanderlust. I threw a few hashtags up to help me find prospective communities. Please send me any suggestions or invitations you can muster. 💕
Werben fĂźrs Fediverse
Gibt es eigentlich einen knackigen Slogan, mit dem man #Facebook-Kunden, denen man bei FB bislang gefolgt ist, schmackhaft machen kann, mal bitte zu einem #Fediverse-Server zu wechseln? Es sollte vielleicht auch ein verführerischen „Argument“ zum Einsatz kommen: keine Werbung? Keine Daten-Abgreife? Keine Troll-Algorithmen? Ich kenn mich einfach zu wenig aus, will aber mit FB nichts mehr zu tun haben…
Vorschläge?
