@EnigmaRotor@bsd.cafe I've been delaying this for months. Now, it's time to send it, before it will be too late.
I think I'll disclose the contents of this e-mail, but only when everything well be over or sorted out.

Good morning, #Fediverse !
At the moment, I'm writing two e-mails. One is fine, the other is the second worst e-mail I've been writing this year.

Happy start to the week, friends of the #BSDCafe and the whole #Fediverse.

May the sunrise this morning bring a bit of light and warmth to all of you, making your week brighter and more positive.

@soaproot@sfba.social it's happened a couple of times, in the last days. My boosts mean "hey, look here" but people, sometimes, think they're some sorts of endorsements.
So I preferred to point it out - just to be sure of not being misunderstood 🙂

@zirias@snac.bsd.cafe @modev@snac.bsd.cafe Entire instances can be blocked using the command line, but they're using many (abandoned? loosely moderated?) instances.
We can also set the "drop posts from accounts created less than X seconds ago". We could set a 86400 seconds - but we could lose new users, posting their introductions.

For now, I've blocked those instances you pointed out

@EnigmaRotor@bsd.cafe Quoted boosts are coming on Mastodon, too: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/

Still, I don't know how they'll be considered by many as many Twitter users did a lot of mess with them, using them to harass people.

I totally agree with your point of view: I don't want to judge people by a post/boost. Still, I understand why people are so "on guard" as the Fediverse is full of bad people/trolls, too.

Luckily, the world is full of good people. But, sometimes, it's quite difficult to find them as they're much, much more silent than the bad ones.

@winterschon@bsd.cafe I decided to point it out on my profile, just to avoid problems/misunderstandings.

@kasperd Quote posts are coming to Mastodon (https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/). Let's see if people will accept it. For now, many are against them as on Twitter they've (also) been used in a very bad way.

Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.

@ivan@tomica.social I agree.

@admin@hear-me.social I'm glad to know it'll be useful. I've performed some tests on my test instance - I'll be upgrading the BSD Cafe in the coming weeks.

@andypiper@macaw.social great article, thank you for sharing it!

[-] stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

@ben@m.benui.ca It depends - maybe Matrix, or Mattermost, or anything open source and that you can self host

In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!

Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

Good morning, #fediverse!

OpenBSD 7.6 has been released, and most of my OpenBSD servers have already been upgraded.

Everything's been smooth and linear, as usual.

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink@comam.es

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!
