Just got a comment from a fellow chastising me for talking about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon.

He thinks we’re dropping the ball on Twitter migration by not focusing 100% on Mastodon.

However, 30% of the Fediverse doesn’t run on Mastodon.

Some server software, like Friendica, was on the Fediverse 6 years before Mastodon was created.

Sorry we’re not shutting things down just because Twitter migrants recently showed up.

#fedifinder did not get suspended, but authorization with Twitter API V2 doesn’t work at the moment. Please use https://fedifinder-v1.glitch.me/ (uses API V1) until Twitter resolves the issue or falls apart.

Hello Fediverse!

@Flipboard is currently a walled garden.

It’s a beautiful, highly curated walled garden filled with content from the worlds best publishers and creators curated by Flipboard’s editorial team as well as our community of magazine makers.

But it’s still a walled garden. Today that begins to change.

We’ve moved four of our most popular #curation desks into the Fediverse for you to enjoy.

@NewsDesk
@TechDesk
@CultureDesk
@ScienceDesk

Florida just ruled it’s now illegal for me to use the restroom, have a child or for students to ever learn about people like me exist.

I need to leave the place that’s been home for the past 30 years.

Please help my wife and I get to safety. We are NOT safe. https://gofund.me/b71ea872
