A ver, estoy viendo imágenes en mi portada de Mastodon sin el iconito del ALT en la esquina inferior derecha y eso está mal.
Estos son Gerbasio y Puri:
Gerbasio tiene discapacidad visual. Sin texto alternativo, el lector de pantalla de su móvil lee vuestros toots como "jpg, imagen".
Puri es una hackercilla. Ahí donde la veis, lee vuestros toots desde un cliente para la terminal Bash (que usa en la pantalla de su termostato inteligente después de haberle hecho jailbreak e instalarle XFCE, pero eso es otra historia). No entiende qué os hace tanta gracia porque cuando mira vuestros toots no se cargan las imágenes.
No lo hagáis por mí, hacedlo por Gerbasio y Puri.

Si estás mudándote a #Mastodon o el #Fediverso te recomiendo encarecidamente que NO te quedes en mastodon punto social, sino que busques otra instancia.
Mastodon punto social está ubicado en Alemania, e impone las leyes de ese país, incluyendo las injustas y draconianas leyes anti-Palestina, como llamar "antisemitismo" a las denuncias contra el Estado de Israel. Un número de cuentas pro-Palestina están censuradas ahí.
@scm @SDF #Mastodon account settings include a default post language and filter for your preferred language(s). You can also select a preferred language on the profile page of anyone you follow.
But a lot of people leave their default post language to their server’s default (often English) and/or don’t check their individual posts’ language field before sending.
IMHO it’s just as antisocial as omitting content warnings or image alternative text.
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.

Mark Hamill joined Bluesky.
Stephen King joined Threads.
The Fediveres has Linus Torvalds and Tim Berners-Lee.
Ahora que está sucediendo la enésima migración masiva desde #twitter hay una cosilla que me viene a la mente.
¿Por qué los organismos gubernamentales de #espana no están todos en #mastodon ? y no digo que se creen una cuenta, digo que por qué no tiene una instancia oficial.
¿Por qué el gobierno de #España no crea una instancia oficial donde tenga las cuentas de todo lo relacionado con el gobierno y autonomías?
Solo para ellos, sin posibilidad de crear cuentas de usuarios.
Sería una forma fiable de tener información oficial real, actualizada y que puede ser consumida y distribuida a cualquier otra red que se quiera.
Obviously, being on #Mastodon chimes with a lot of the impulses of the #radio activists to build an #infrastructure over which people, not corporations, have control
But also, there are tensions between a roll-your-own-tech answer to problems of democratic control over communication, & the fact that a lot of everyday people, myself included actually, may want to participate on equal footing without having to know enough technically to spin up our own servers or build our own transmitters 6/?

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are running (2 of 3 have passed already which is a good sign).
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
Thank you again for your continued improvements (and also, thanks for not releasing on a Friday! The slacker in me is still 8 hours behind up stream, maybe I can blame time zones? ;)

There are some things that folk used to running #Mastodon might not like. For example it does not show any follower or following numbers to any instances. So people using Mastodon will see 0 followers and 0 following even though those Snac uses may have 100's of followers .
You do get a people tab on the snac interface that is just a list divided into people following you and people you follow but no numbers. This is an intentional design feature by the author @grunfink@comam.es who stated.
I haven't implemented a simple count of following / followers on purpose; I consider all metrics in network media inherently toxic, because it's a way of comparing the relative success of people. This is also why, as seen from other Fediverse implementations, snac accounts always report 0 / 0 connections.Also not all features work with android / iOS apps but most of the essentials do. I occasionally use #Tusky when I'm not just using the web interface for Snac which I just find easier. I think I will be staying with this fantastic lightweight piece of software and look forward to see what new features get added in the future. A wish would be to have a way of importing followers from Mastodon to Snac, which I think the dev is working on at the moment. Oh and I nearly forgot to say that you can import the CSV file of people that you are following through the command line and it's fairly simple to do too. I'd 100% recommended giving Snac a try if you're looking for a no nonsene lightweight #Fediverse instance.
@grunfink I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.62 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26495
Currently the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are queued, so I don't know when that will complete or what the results will be, but hopefully it's just a delay in the process and doesn't reveal any errors.
Thank you for your continued improvements!

A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.
In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:
Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.
GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.
Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.
Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.
Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.
In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!

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!
