Hello #BSDCafe friends! After some thorough testing, I've decided to introduce @nileane 's TangerineUI ( @TangerineUI ) as an optional interface for our #Mastodon instance.
In my opinion, its lovely colors bring a cheerful and calm vibe to the interface, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it.
Rest assured, all other current interfaces - the Mastodon Bird UI (by @rolle ( and the default - remain unchanged.
Enjoy!

Hello #BSDCafe friends! After some thorough testing, I've decided to introduce @nileane 's TangerineUI ( @TangerineUI ) as an optional interface for our #Mastodon instance.
In my opinion, its lovely colors bring a cheerful and calm vibe to the interface, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it.
Rest assured, all other current interfaces - the Mastodon Bird UI ( by @rolle - which is set as default theme for many languages) and the stock - remain unchanged.
Enjoy!

For those who missed last night’s updates, I’m thrilled to announce that @h3artbl33d and I will be co-presenting a talk at #EuroBSDCon: Liberating the Social Web Using #BSD.

We’ll be sharing our experiences and technical decisions along the way.

I’ll be focusing on the BSD Cafe - its services, the story behind it, and most importantly, the human and motivational factors that make this community so special.

Always remember: #OwnYourData !

Stay tuned for more updates!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
tomorrow afternoon (April 28, 2025, at 18:00 CEST) I will have the honor of being a guest on the Fireside Fedi Show!
We will talk about FediMeteo and, more generally, about the Fediverse.

For those who would like to listen, either live or later, you can find the link and more details here:

#FediMeteo

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.

I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.

So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

I want to launch a hashtag where, every Tuesday, I'll post a message and it would be great if it became a habit for many.

In a world full of conflicts, selfishness, and egocentrism, it would be nice to focus on the good that others do, what makes our lives better thanks to the contribution of others.

My first #ThankYouTuesday to the friends of #BSDCafe - both within the community servers and beyond - who have undoubtedly contributed to making my life better, more stimulating, and richer. So, I extend this gratitude to all those who, here in the fediverse or elsewhere, are present and positive, giving me inspiration and motivation.

Truly, thank you!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
since December 2023, snac.bsd.cafe has been operational, initially in an experimental phase but has proven to be stable and reliable.

Thus, Snac2 is now available as a service of BSD Cafe. It is considered one of the best and most comprehensive "lightweight" implementations of #ActivityPub, offering one of the best ways to interact with the Fediverse without the need for the extensive dependencies and components of Mastodon.

It is now possible to request an account on the snac2 instance of BSD Cafe. There isn't an automatic sign-up process (snac2 does not provide one, as it wasn't designed to create large communities).

For information and details, I suggest reading the relevant page on our Wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Have a great week!
