salutations!

Gabriel here again, to remind—yet again—that this project is yet to be abandoned. after contemplations and rational thinking, i've come to terms that the unfortunate may be true... that it may take many years, an indeterminable amount in truth, for the Fediverse to reach an earnest standing against that of the mainstream social media. while this should not in any way discourage actively using and supporting these platforms and their incredible developers, it's left me to contemplate if maintaining a balance between the two cyberverses is currently the most effective strategy.

ultimately, it's gonna take a while to substantiate and further populate these decentralized platforms, and focusing solely upon them can tend to feel rather desolate [from my own perspective, at least.] furthermore, it's far and few between that anything monumental occurs worth actively sharing here—yet it's exhilarating when it does.

I will continue focusing primarily on the entirety of the 'verse, myself, and bringing attention to the platforms receiving an amount well below the esteem and recognition they truly deserve. more to come on this; as well as still slowly conceptualizing the website domain I mentioned having secured; and eventually aiming to represent a concise database of info that will retain its relevancy in serving future Fedi enthusiasts.

[jointhefediverse]

we're still here!

(...and building a website!)

Gabriel here to say: I've been fixated on having a proper landing page readily available to serve as a roadmap for the current Fediverse platforms, opposed to updates across the span of [limited] discussion points for the time being. SO! we've secured a domain and will publish that here the moment it's complete. 🤩

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.

@jointhefediverse *cough* This would be another great moment to take the time to learn about the Fediverse and decentralized social platforms! No weird/racist ads, cross server/website communication, and people that care about the platform they're running are just a few major positives.

You can check out the blog linked above, run by @disease and I for info on the subject.

PSA: TUMBLR-INSPIRED FEDIVERSE PLATFORM!

go check out Wafrn and support the growing community! it utilizes ActivityPub, so it integrates with its fellow Fedi neighbors (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, Pleroma, PeerTube, Friendica, etc.)—alongside being decentralized, open-source, privacy-friendly, and developed independently. meanwhile its dev is a real treat and his project is worth supporting.

PEERTUBE NOW ON iOS ⚠️

Every so often I'll search "Fediverse" in the App Store—not expecting to find anything too exciting. HOWEVER! Today... right at the end of the search query... what did I find? Framasoft's official app release of PeerTube!? 🥹

For the time being, users are able to locate instances and enjoy video content; however, there's no current option to log into accounts. They've stated in the App's description what to expect from future releases, obviously with this feature being a priority.

ABANDON YOUTUBE. JOIN PEERTUBE.
