I posted this on my #Mastodon feed a short while ago

Just sent an email to the local BBC offices*, asking why they are still using X and Facebook etc. for social media.

*if I get a reply I know it will be corporate!

#BBC #SocialMedia #X #Twitter #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Threads #WhyAreYouStillUsing

I also sent a slightly altered email to both the local council and the county council
#SouthRibbleBoroughCouncil #SRBC LancashireCountyCouncil

This is a copy of the email


Hi,
In light of the recent outbursts by the owner of X, twitter as used to be, asking if the United Kingdom should be liberated, then his rants against Ministers of His Majesty's Government and his use of what is known as the Nazi or Roman salute at Donald Trump's inauguration, should you still be using his 'services' as he becomes more and more blatantly fascist in his views? Similarly, should you still be using Meta groups social media, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads, In light of their owner rolling back rules around hate speech and abuse.

Thank you for reading
Looking forward to you response.



Just another facebook refugee


Now that the Cenobite Engineer Mark Zuckerberg has come out of his closet as a Nazi, it was time to say goodbye to facebook which has become a haven for idiocy and untruthfulness. I have tried a numer of different platforms, but for now Friendica seems to be most suitable for my needs:

1) Decentralized structure.
2) Ability to store photos.

I am still trying to figure out if I can create groups in thus program.

@ghostproxy

Welcome. Feel free to ask, if you don't know something. #fedihelp call the helpful people to answer your questions. In General: Use and follow hashtags to find your people. Follow people. Give a boost to posts, you like, so they can be seen by more people. Feditips and Fediwiki are good sites to get an idea, how the fediverse works basically.

in reply to Elischeva91

Thanks for the tips. I am noticing a big difference from Facebook, especially in regards to the quality of posts being made by people. I am liking this platform very much.


I'm relatively impressed

iOS App for Friendica?


So many people are looking for alternatives to Meta products right now, but the barrier to entry to Fediverse social networks remains too high for most users, especially those still active on legacy platforms like Facebook. A specific pain-point I am encountering in trying to assist folks in making the leap is the lack of mobile clients for iOS users. Are there any plans for an iOS app for Friendica? Or an iOS version of a multi-account manager like Fedilab?

@Sarah Peck There's Relatica. But it's still an early, closed beta. You can't load it from the App Store just like so. You'll have to join the Relatica Beta Test Program.

Otherwise, it's either Friendica in a browser or installing Friendica as a Progressive Web App from the browser.

@Sarah Peck look forward for Relatica. They're working on it. Follow @Hank G ☑️ for updates or message him if you want to join the beta yourself.


So interesting setting up in a new place





He just wanted to get a job😅😳 youtube.com/shorts/j3X2ebJGMeI…




Hillcrest reopening


Coming along nicely.


I don’t understand the way the content warnings work here. In the friendica.world web ui i cannot even see them on my own post. Via phanpy.social i do see them. I don’t find anywhere to set / modify / remove them in my own post. Can someone point me to settings / docs about this?

Something simple and easy you can do to improve your security


Reboot your devices often. Many types of malware persist in-memory only, so a reboot will effectively remove them.

Hi, I'm new


Hi, I'm Petra from Cologne, Germany. I dabbled with Mastodon and the Fediverse years ago but never really got into it. Let's see if it works this time. I am mainly looking for people who are talking about personal things. I am very politically interested but recently had to cut back on consuming news in order to stay sane (haha, more or less). I love traveling, but have never left Europe (there are still so many interesting places I haven't seen yet), animals, plants (I do a bit of urban gardening on my big balconies), music (Marillion, Dido, Porcupine Tree, Vanessa Carlton and so forth), drawing, paper crafting, photography, art, and lots of other things. It would be really nice to find a few likeminded people to chat with.
in reply to Petra

@Petra hi, Petra! 😁 welcome here.

Have been around this place for 3 years and it's quite cool. Never been into Mastodon either fwiw, although I do have to admit it has an easier onboarding process.

Your interests are quite cool 😁 I also seldomly post some photos around this place and listen to Porcupine Tree.

in reply to Cătă

Hi! There are so many Porcupine Tree fans out there!
I wanted to check out your profile but couldn't, maybe because you're on a different instance? I could look at your timeline, though. I really don't understand friendica. 😵‍💫

Interacting with Mastodon conversations


I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I'm trying to comment on Mastodon conversations from this Friendica instance, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have follow a person, and replied to one of their posts a good 6 hours ago.
I logged in to my mastodon account and found the same thread, but could not see the reply from my Friendica instance, though I could see the same replies from other people as I can via Friendica.

I'm completely new to Friendica, so I'm guessing I have overlooked something?

Disclaimer - I have no specific knowledge, and this is an educated guess based on what I know as a user of distributed social media.

Friendica advertises that it has integrations for various ActivityPub/alternative social media services. My guess is it's one-way only. Friendica gets content from other sources, but without buy in from Mastodon devs, Friendica content won't show up there.

in reply to Adam

Yeah, I was thinking something in a similar vain, but I couldn't find anything about it. But it might be a good avenue for further investigation
in reply to Peter Sørensen

@Peter Sørensen I just signed up for Friendica and I'm noticing the same thing. I'm not sure what's going on either, but I did notice that replies to Mastodon from Friendica seem to be hit or miss so far (mostly miss, but not completely). I noticed that someone else's reply from another Friendica instance than my own shows up in Mastodon, but my replies don't. I'm starting to wonder if it may be something broken with specific Friendica instances.
