A growing set of services let users on independently operated servers interlink with standard, open-source protocols for microblogging, photo sharing, and dozens of other purposes.

Usage of Mastodon has dwindled over the past two months, with monthly active users plummeting to less than 1.4 million after hitting a peak of 2.5 million in December.

There’s been this weird series of articles lately, trying to frame the rapid growth of the fediverse (mainly Mastodon), as somehow now failing. It started last month, with the Guardian’…

Active users have fallen by more than 1 million since the exodus from Elon Musk’s Twitter, suggesting the decentralized platform is not a direct replacement.

With Twitter being a mess at the moment, I decided to try out Mastodon as an alternative. Mastodon is a federated social media platform, built on top of a protocol called ActivityPub. It can be self-hosted, letting you own your data, and I wanted to do so using Nomad as a cluster orchestrator. This post shows how I did it, and will hopefully inspire you to give Mastodon a try if you haven’t already! You can find me on the Fediverse at @carrot@bunny.cloud 🐘.

Musk’s controlled release of Twitter files in the name of ‘freedom of speech’ obfuscates the real problem with Twitter.

With centralized, ad-driven social networks in disarray and suffering from misinformation, harassment, and declining users, can the long-simmering Mastodon microblogging system offer a distributed future for conversation and community?

ACT 1: Cutting Off the API to Spite Its Face Twitter, under its new management, last night rushed out yet a major change in operations. It will be cutting off free access to the primary Twitter API.

My goal isn't for Mastodon to replace Twitter. My goal is for the Fediverse to replace Big Social.

All of what I write here today is seat-of-pants. I don't know how this is going to turn out.
