Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Pretty good write-up calling out European politicians in particular for calling for increased tech sovereignty in Europe, but not putting their money where their moth is by actually using the European alternative that already exists.

I'm not sure the word Mastodating will catch on. I'm not sure I want it to either.

I'm mastodating right now. Just a raging mastodation session.

(I really do not want this to catch on.)

Edit:

"Ahhhhh yeah.... I'm gonna toot!!"

The fediverse is just full of weird reply guys tooting and mastodating at each other.

[โ€“] julian@activitypub.space 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Help! A mastodater is tooting my horn and I don't like it =(

Is it chronic?

Who would even use Truth Social, other than the MAGA bubble?

[โ€“] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Mastodoting or Mastodotting sounds so much better to me. Or what is wrong with simply Mastodoning?

[โ€“] discoplasm@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

seeing "mastodating" and it's not about the FediSingles hashtag ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] cabbage@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sure the #FediSingles are avid #mastodaters

I love how this post's topic changed to mastodating ๐Ÿฅน

Yeah the EU should act. A similar story would be Nokia.

[โ€“] Tuuktuuk@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nokia's leadership style grew increasingly more and more authoritarian. And disconnected from the user experience, or even dev experience. I don't think there's really something like that happening in EU nor Fediverse.

[โ€“] Snoopy@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I wrote Nokia because they were the sole european mobile constructor and Microsoft bought them.

So we lost a lot and EU did nothing to stop that deal.

[โ€“] Tuuktuuk@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Stopping that deal would have made the world a lot better place, actually! N9 was awesome, and during the first half a year of Windows Phone based Nokia phones, N9 sold more than all of those combined. Even though N9 was never advertised anywhere at all!

It was simply a killer product that people wanted to use so much that no advertising was necessary.

And i tested Meego, it was a pretty good OS, the phone was very beautiful.

We only need time and a more bold approach to defend our economy.

"If you are of truth social" who is using it on purpose that doesnt suck or tracking people who suck for journalism?
