Great to see the Dutch government so active on Mastodon!

The Dutch Government began offering Mastodon accounts to all government organizations at all levels of government as a shared service. You can read more about how their using Mastodon at https://www.digitaleoverheid.nl/overzicht-van-alle-onderwerpen/mastodon-overheid/

#Mastodon > #WSocial. Mastodon: 100% free software. 🎉 W Social. Isn't.👎 Mastodon: Global, as all cool Internet things should be. 🌐 W Social: Eurocentrist. 🤮 Mastodon: Does not want you to hand over your passport. W Social: Does.😡 Mastodon: No ads for 10 years. W Social: Already threatened to introduce ads by 2027. 😂 Why should I register on W Social again? What’s the point?

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds". A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word. If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service. When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something? The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised. They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right? If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place. You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation. #mastodon #openSource #linux

If you want to search Mastodon posts you've interacted with, include the phrase in:library along with your keywords. This will just show results for posts you have interacted with. If you want to search just your own posts, include the phrase from:me in your search. There are lots more special phrases like these (also known as "operators") listed in the search guide at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon #FediTips #Mastodon

Oh, I guess I need to wait for everyone's instances to upgrade before collections are actually a thing. Here I was like maybe I'll try to create one, but I can't quite add anybody yet. Looking forward to the system being in widespread use, though! Finding people to follow has been such a struggle. #mastodon #collections

I really like the new #mastodon #collections - I can't wait to be able to add #pixelfed accounts too. and I'm wondering, I thought, it will work with #loops account already @dansup@mastodon.social ? But even I have the setting set to "permission required" I can't add myself .

The concentration of power in Silicon Valley happened partly because we let it. We accepted a few platforms as inevitable. We built our communities there because that’s where everyone was. It wasn’t because their technology is better. It was a choice—made again and again by the people on those platforms, by investors, and by policymakers. A different choice is possible, but it requires that those of us building alternatives actually believe what we say about cooperation. It means assuming good faith from people building different projects. It means investing in infrastructure that doesn’t benefit us alone. We, the builders of the open social web, are the only ones who can make that choice. It starts with deciding that our mission matters more than winning alone. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/why-the-social-web-must-work-together/ #SocialWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon

Is there a website that shows Mastodon versions in use by the number of accounts, not just servers? #mastodon #fediverse #MastoAdmins #FediAdmins

Die @unijena@mastodon.social ist auf #Mastodon unterwegs. Sie würde sich jedoch mehr Interaktionen und Followerschaft wünschen. Liebes #Fediverse, zeig mal, was in dir steckt und verteilt Follows, Herzen, Kommentare, drückt auf Glocken oder retrötet einfach diesen Toot. 😉

New #mastodon instance, new #introduction. I mostly post about tech, graphic design, iOS app development, and billiards. I'm relocating from the Kansas City metro this summer back to Manhattan, Kansas where I plan to open a downtown pool hall, bar, grill, and basement speakeasy. #emaw https://vincentspoolhall.com
