Deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza


"Denn die deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza steht außer Frage – auch wenn die Richter des IGH erst in Jahren abschließend urteilen werden, ob es sich dabei im juristischen Sinne um einen Völkermord handelt oder nicht."

All, there is an opportunity to get funding for open-source projects via the Next Generation Internet framework by the European Commission. Send in your ideas. Deadline February 1, 2025. For example, the federated social network Mobilizon is partly funded by this program.

I agree, a lot of work. I suggest targeting a relevant PHP/social media conference in 2025, which is located close to one of the FRIENDICA devs, team up with another ActivityPub org, which you are friendly with (MASTODON, Pleroma, Diaspora?). There is a bit of a competitive situation, but since you require a different skill set (PHP vs Ruby on Rails etc) this could work. The minimal solution would be just print a few hundreds of flyers and ask another organisation you are friendly with to put it on the table at their booth.

Another idea would be to approach IT departments at universities and ask lecturers for collaboration to hand out bug fixes/feature development to students as homework, seminar thesis, master thesis, etc. This would require some supervision, but ideally would get them "hooked" on the project.

First step would be to create some promotion material, ie flyers, slide deck, and short video, etc.

These could also be used to post them on other social networks to target groups, ie X.com, Tiktok, Mastodon, Facebook, ...

BTW, I would not only look for dev skills, but also management skills/tech evangelists, which a thriving organisation needs.

Where Did the Global Elite Go to School? Hierarchy, Harvard, Home and Hegemony


"We examine the educational backgrounds of the global elite, using new data on a diversity of organizational leadership roles as well as the population of the super-rich across the world. First, we find a small number of globally prestigious universities to take on super prominent roles, suggesting a strongly hierarchical distribution of credentials among the global elite. Second, we find a consistent and unique place for Harvard University within this system. ..."

Springer forces Zionism upon its German employees


"Unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign Axel Springer's mission statement that expresses support for Israel and America's and Europe's transatlantic alliance.[9]"

"The western world and mainstream media have once again jumped on an opportunity to conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism after Israeli football hooligans, protected by the Mossad, wreaked havoc on the streets of Amsterdam, deliberately provoking a harsh response."

Update Friendica Public Server list to a searchable database (or remove)


Dear all, to attract new FRIENDICA users, the server selection is the first barrier any new user will encounter, so the confusing, out-dated and user-unfriendly directory for public servers, of which many are not "public" (family-servers, testing, ....) will scare away many potential users. Better to delete and point to other similar services, eg fedidb.org.

What do others think?

Select Friendica Server


Dear all, I am just discovering Friendica and happened to register on friendica.world. However, I wonder whether there is help to select a server with the following features:
1) Generic domain name, which does not make me look like a weirdo
2) Stable, ie, has been running and is expected to run for years to come
3) Current software and useful selection of addons (eg, I am interested in federating with activitypub and atproto users, calender event features, maps, ...)
4) well resourced, ie good responsiveness, no lags, 99% uptime
5) Has a responsive admin in case of trouble or feature request

How can I can find such a server? Any recommendations?
To be honest, I find dir.friendica.social/servers hard to use and not very useful.
Advice welcome! :-)

Unfortunately the source code of dir.friendica.social is rather neglected. The health score reading is a bit random and if you're outside Europe it's very misleading.

friendica.fediverse.observer/ might give you a more suitable overview of nodes, esp. in terms of performance (i.e. long term uptime and latency stats).

Also talk to node operators and ask around in the wider community.

Good luck and enjoy!
