Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

You Can't Follow Me
Mastodon is free and open-source. Go ahead and add the flag:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING....
Thank you for your write-up, I ran into similar issues a couple of months back.
Another gripe with the technical implementation of mastodon is the CORS headers required to access the ActivityPub API [0].
Because of this issue, an activitypub-aware frontend for mastodon has to have its own mastodon server running, which adds a whole bunch of hurdles.

Youtube ad block on pc (ublock origin)
If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, you might be interested in PeerTube. PeerTube is to YouTube what Mastodon is to Twitter. (Plus PeerTube and Mastodon use the same federation technology. You can follow PeerTube accounts from inside Mastodon and vice versa.)

MathJax – Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers
Mathstodon ( https://mathstodon.xyz/about ) integrates this, forking/extending Mastodon to support inline LaTeX in Mastodon posts and equations, which get rendered by MathJax on the client side. I think that's neat.
- "This is important, since several math-based instances exist (such as https://mathstodon.xyz ,https://types.pl) and produce math-based posts. However, when these posts federate to other instances they cannot be rendered, since other instances do not have MathJAX installed. Thus, a more portable version based on open standards is necessary."

We need a Facebook groups style decentralized alternative. Does one exist?
I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca

My experience after 16 months on the Fediverse
The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers.

Determining the best fit for Mastodon instances.
Friendica is powerful, but it's also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

Zettlr in the fediverse and on matrix?
Are there any plans to set up some kind of presence in the decentralized fediverse (e.g. on Mastodon) or a community channel via the Matrix protocol? Services like Mastodon or Friendica are federated social networks licensed under FLOSS-licenses. Those "talk" to each other using open protocols like "ActivityPub" and/or "DFRN". Matrix provides similar functionality compared to Discord and is free (libre) and open source as well. Basing communication on free software can be seen as a political act. ;)
