I'm back on Debian 12. The update took 20 minutes, when I had expected 5 days. What a great thing #Yunohost is! It makes it so easy to run all the #federated apps. Use it and support it! No future without community. #fedi #fediverse #foss

Bandcamp is just another prison
There's an unshakeable belief that Bandcamp is somehow the ethical alternative to Spotify and the like. Sure, that's even shittier. But Bandcamp is a greedy monster that lives off the talents of others, you have to buy into the playlists, pay very high fees and are at the mercy of an algorithm that favors those who are favored anyway. Using Bandcamp is like buying vegan products from Nestlé, it seems nice at first, but it only strengthens those who are actually the problem. Luckily, there is the FOSS scene and since yesterday I know that Simon Repp @freebliss has made a great start with his Faircamp https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/. A very lightweight static streaming site for bands and independent labels as it should be. It's still very alpha, but you can easily see that there's a diamond that just needs to be polished. Open standard protocols, no database, no PHP. You don't even need a server, a web space is enough. Super cool. Unfortunately I don't know Rust, but as a know-it-all I can tell you what sucks ;) I set it up as a test for my label Suzy Q Records https://music.undeadnetwork.de/. It's not really in production mode yet, but it will be. Looks super cool. Exactly what I need to get D.I.Y. Underground music onto the free net. Great project, well worth supporting.

Can anyone help me? What are the options for operating a #federated music #streaming or #broadcast service? I know www.azuracast.com and owncast.online. I don't get on well with azura and owncast is already too much. I actually only need a (convenient) #audio player and a support button. I can also program a little bit - so it doesn't have to be out of the box. #oss #foss #music #streaming #fedi #fediverse #audioplayer #python
Ich kann da nichts schlimmes empfinden. Wer einmal von Apfel der Weisheit gebissen hat, wird immer wieder zurück kommen.
Aber im Ernst. Die Nutzenden entscheiden sich irgendwann für eine der Plattformen, die am Besten zu ihnen passen. Das ist einfach so. Daher ist der Gedanke der Föderation so wichtig, in dem die verschiedenen Produkte/Projekte/Protokolle miteinander sprechen (das Fediverse ist dabei nur ein Teilaspekt)

The Great Fediverse Exodus: What's Really Happening?Yes, you read that right. While the overall numbers might suggest growth, a deeper look reveals a worrying trend: the monthly active users on the Fediverse have plummeted to half of what they once were. Even the big profiles are feeling the pinch with dwindling interactions. Could it be that the Fediverse honeymoon is over?
Meanwhile, Twitter/X is seeing a resurgence. More and more users are flocking back, reigniting the platform with a surge of interactions. Is this the beginning of the end for the Fediverse, or just a bump in the road?
Let’s hear your thoughts!

The Best of the #Federated Networks
Why I stick with #diaspora* even with all the "newer and more full-featured" platforms in the #fediverse.

Matrix - An Open Network for Secure, Decentralised Communication
Matrix is an open source project that publishes the Matrix open standard for secure, decentralised, real-time communication. You can self-host and federate, or join existing servers, to enable instant messaging, text chat in chatrooms, voice and video chat, file transfer, and even bridging between many other networks such as IRC, XMPP, Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, RSS, Facebook Messenger, Discord, Slack, and many more.
End-to-End-Encryption, device verification and trust, replication of chatrooms for redundancy, are all hallmarks of Matrix. It can serve as a secure communications platform for governments with roving diplomats, or for end users be an alternative to Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp.
It is the opposite of a walled garden, with its vision of acting as a generic HTTP messaging and data synchronisation system for the whole web - allowing people, services and devices to easily communicate with each other, empowering users to own and control their data, and select the services and vendors they want to use.

Socialhome v0.13.0 released
Hello 👋 Yes, it's been a while! Eight months since the last release in fact. The project is still alive, but not as active as previously. Progress still happening once in a while, thus a new release!
Highlights
- Start adding Matrix support 🎉 Very, very early days, and totally experimental. Currently, if enabled and hooked up with a compatible Matrix server, local user accounts are mirrored to the Matrix side and additionally their public posts get mirrored in profile rooms and hashtag rooms. More later as things develop!
- Translations process! Socialhome can now be translated and is now fully translated to #French! Thanks to Alain St-Denis for the awesome work to both push through the translations process and also do the French translations <3 Other languages partially translated are German and Norwegian. Also thanks to Weblate for hosting the translations for us.
- More changes and fixes to ensure ActivityPub and Diaspora identities don't get duplicated, for remote platforms that have both versions (like Socialhome instances!).
- A bunch of bug fixes to the streams UI and to the federation library.
Full changelogs:
* Socialhome - https://socialhome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html
* Federation - https://github.com/jaywink/federation/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
What is Socialhome?
Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols, with #Matrix coming up!
Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a #Socialhome profile itself.
