How I appreciate the lack of algorithms and AI slop on here. What an oasis Mastodon is! A refuge!

This week tested us.
A critical moment hit Nutritious Foods Uganda that puts our farmers, our food, and our mission on the line.
But here’s what we’re doing about it — and why there’s still hope.

Ever since the land crisis happened, my mom has now turned to teaching cooking now it's the main emphasis even though also gardening is still done #mastodon #solarpunk #solarpunksunday #garden #nature #green

I will stay here
I will not rest

I will tirelessly
give meaning to the struggle

I will be
the voice of love

I will give the victims
back their voices

I will bring light
back to hope

I’m staying here
I’m not leaving

We’re staying here
We’re not leaving
We won’t rest

But for this, we all need
an arm to hold us tight

In our world currently affected by several social problems like hunger and environmental degradation and others ,we should train and teach them to be problem solvers such that they can be winners of the next generation.

Tiny reminder that it's important
to boost posts on Mastodon!

Liking only will not help a post being seen more. Boosting will! ✨

Boost the posts you want others to see. Add hashtags to your posts to help others find them.

This is the Fediverse way

#Mastodon #Fediverse

What is your favorite hashtag to follow on Mastodon? #️⃣👀

Reply with something like:

"My favorite hashtag to follow on Mastodon is ____________"

So that others can boost it!

#Mastodon

You seem to regret losing access to X #Twitter.

That you depended on #fascists for succor for so long means your book is a no go for me.

I can't imagine you appealed for reinstatement. A lot of us left out of disgust and never looked back.

Even your presence on #Mastodon is #bridged — meaning you are here in a half-hearted way and might not even see my reply, much less respond to it. In fact, your bio explicitly puts the onus on us to visit you somewhere else

>> Even your presence on #Mastodon is #bridged — meaning you are here in a half-hearted way and might not even see my reply, much less respond to it.

If you are a #Twitter refugee and are now trying out #Mastodon, welcome!

If you are just exploiting Mastodon for eyeballs, trying to sell your book, but you don't want to be part of the community, think again 👀

If you were previously a refugee on Mastodon and THEN went to #BlueSky and #bridged back here, F*CK OFF

Fill the people around you with positivity, kindness, and love, and you too will be filled with the same. What you give to others has a way of coming back to you!!

Strawberries in our farm

Our club is at a breaking point. We've been renting land for our youth farming project, but rent piled up for over 5 months. We took loans just to clear that debt, and we're still fighting to keep up with rent every month.
We need to buy our own land so this never happens again — so no harvest is ever at risk.

I had a (very) minor medical issue this morning so I arrived 2 minutes after the #FOSSY keynote began.

Fun part is I walked in just as The GOAT #Fediverse person, @evan, was listing his long résumé — his work is essential & a catalyst in many ways to what we now have in #ActivityPub, Fediverse, & #Mastodon.

I am so excited that #FediCon is cohosted with #FOSSY26 and I very much hope that continues for many years to come.

#FOSSY2026

👏👏👏

On the Fediverse panel at #FOSSY26, @evan just said: “This may not be a popular thing to say at FOSSY, but we have to welcome proprietary implementations of ActivityPub.”

You'll be surprised I applauded loudest.

This is a principle that Social Workers call “meet your client where they are”. You can't help them if you *never* meet them.

Early #USENET erred badly because it was a computer geek monoculture. We must not be that here.

👏👏👏

Your Mastodon account only lets you sign in on one server. However, because the servers talk to each other you can follow and interact with people from other servers.

It's a bit like mobile phone SIM cards: you can only use a SIM card to get service from one phone provider, but because phone providers talk to each other you can still call people who use totally different providers.

I went to check my Amazon things (because I am updating some banners) and found this - my book has been added to "Amazon Bestsellers in Disability Art" as number 21! :D

Only thing that dims my joy, are the 8(?) AI books ahead of mine. So...if you would like to help bring forth actual art from a real disabled human - please buy my book and leave it a review! <3

And share, thank you!

Behind them a pillowing cloud eminates from them and circles prison bars. The title of the book reads in the clody parts that are in a shade of teal. The background is darker teal colored, and the prison bars are black. Additional text not mentioned in the white background area below the cover reads, "100+ comics".

Okay, so

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/security/

According to resources linked in the #Mastodon docs, it seems that signature validation gets the entire #ActivityPub Actor (thus the `#main-key` which the server is supposed to ignore) and then within the Actor it gets the `publicKey` property.

Soooo back to the `#main-key` nomenclature, I guess

*Unpopular opinions:*
The #Internet needs a "Great Reboot", IMHO, where:
- #Mastodon is the new IRC, X, Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Facebook
- #Deltachat is the new email and two-way email mailing list
- #RSS is the new one-way email mailing list
- static content generators (say, #Hugo, #Jekyll, etc) are the new web CMS'. No CDN, as they're so lightweight.
- #XMPP is the new #Discord - and no encryption is used in groups
- #Flarum is the new goto for a persisting, searchable support forum
- #Signal is for encrypted 1-to-1 chats and encrypted group chats (when none of the above suffice), as they get the encryption right in a very reliable way *for the group chat* (despite being a centralized service).

I released Let Time Keep Ticking - Vol 3 of my music archive project about 3 -4 weeks ago but yet to promote it, however, seeing it's #BandcampFriday it would be silly not to give it a nudge to the #Bandcamp supporters out there on #Mastodon.

This eclectic collection of songs and music I wrote and recorded on 4 track between 1991 & 1993 in Wellington #Aotearoa #NewZealand has been remixed and remastered from the original 4 track recordings.

As a great many things had to be completed this evening I haven't been able to get to the #books tonight. I have added to my troubles by now powering up #Mastodon. My chances of getting any #reading done tonight are rapidly fading into the night.

#SocialMedia #Bookstodon #Booksky

While #Mastodon isn’t bad, it still can’t beat good old fashioned #RSS for snippets of up to date #news from providers you choose. Am, pleasantly, surprised RSS feeds still exist as do some pretty good #feed readers.
