I have questions.

Chris TrottierHell, yeah. After a decade of waiting, Mastodon finally has quote posts.
Even better? You can withdraw consentâso if someone quote-posts you out of context, you can shut that down. This alone should keep the vibes civil and the drama minimal.
Fingers crossed it plays nice with Akkoma and Misskey, which have had this feature for ages. Would be a shame if interoperability broke the party.

đĽ Big update: the PeerTube co-op idea is taking off.
Yesterday I shared the proposal publiclyâand the response has been outstanding. Seven people have already stepped up to become founder-members, ready to build a member-owned, democratically governed alternative to corporate video platforms.
What started as a loose idea is now a real planâand credit goes to @Crissy for pushing me to turn the idea into a proper proposal.
Weâre at the early stages: talking with existing Fediverse co-ops, and Iâve reached out to the BC Co-op Association to guide us through incorporation. Next up: drafting bylaws, shaping governance, and laying a solid foundation together.
Once incorporated, member-owners will decide everythingâpolicies, hosting practices, monetization models. This isnât just another social media platform. Itâs a co-operative effort to build something transparent, resilient, and ours.
If this speaks to youâif you want to help shape a new, community-owned video platformâget in touch. This is how alternatives get built.

Oh my, where do I even begin.
Honestly, I do not want to repeat the query here. A meme to tell a bit more, or find my asking on the sinking ship known as IG
Fedi.TipsA good way to discover interesting accounts is to follow hashtags. When you follow a hashtag, posts with that tag will start appearing in your timeline even if you don't follow the post's author.
To follow a hashtag:
1. Search for a hashtag
2. Click on the specific hashtag you want from the suggestions
3. Click "Follow" button at the top
To manage your followed tags, go to your own profile page, click ⯠and then "Followed hashtags".

brentpattersonI also got the impression that our legal systems are in no way fast enough to stem the damage they will do to our creative classes and they know this and are working as fast they can to grab as much as they can before laws catch up to their crimes. https://www.wired.com/story/new-documents-unredacted-meta-copyright-ai-lawsuit/

Mastodon MigrationIf you use #Bluesky be sure to install a tracker blocker.
Thanks to @BlurryBitsPhoto for calling attention to this privacy nightmare: https://pnw.zone/@BlurryBitsPhoto/113804648365475726
Apparently Bluesky ranks among the worst in their experience for trackers.
Here is a comparison of the uBlock Origin filter log for bsky.app versus Mastodon đ
(Note: had to cut off the bsky.app page as the log just went on and on yielding dozens of blocks and kept streaming in.)

@[email protected] Oh it became pretty evident to me during my short stay on Bluesky On average, after about ten minutes of browsing - uBlock will show 100-150 various trackers being blocked. I've seen the count go over 300. Crap sites like RawStory always ran the numbers up, but in the amount of time browsing - They may be one of the top-100 worst data aggregators out there. They are selling that user base outright.
