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.)

Recreating Mastodons Audio Player as a Web Component
The goal was also to have it look exactly like the audio-player that mastodon uses.

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."

The Matrix Trashfire
When https://siskin.im/ is seriously touted as the best iOS client for XMPP, you already lost 50% of the market share in the US. And if you don't have any usable app for 50% of your users in one of the most important markets, you can not really claim "interoperability", can you?
Don't get me wrong, it would be great if more people were using XMPP. Now that I am more involved in the Fediverse space I'm learning how many wheels are being reinvented and XMPP has already solved. If more people learned about https://movim.eu I'd be able to shut off Communick and move on to do something else to do with my life, but the reality is that XMPP failed to achieve critical mass because it never had someone to complete control the protocol.

What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?
Let me put it in another way: of all the existing projects out there, which one does actually bring material benefit to the users and publishers compared with, e.g, Mastodon, Matrix, Movim or Nostr?

Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?
For social networking atop XMPP, see https://movim.eu/
Combined with the in-development ActivityPub gateway from Libervia, interop with Mastodon, Pleroma and others becomes possible too. The decentralized social web space is quite active at the moment.

Instagram Is Over
If you don't care at all about poluar figures and just want to share content with people you actually know, https://movim.eu would be a much better alternative.

Ask HN: Private group chat with no registration
> No registration needed for group members
This one is the most troublesome I think.
Usually this is in a conferencing solutions though, so no such thing as chat rooms, I think.
Otherwise I would suppose something like XMPP with a web frontend, eg https://movim.eu/
ejabberd supports anonymous users, though I can't say if movim or any else web-client supports that natively

Movim – A decentralized social platform built on XMPP
I like the idea but the landing page doesn't inspire confidence. My browser window is half with on a normal macbook and most of the text and images overlap making parts of it un-readable.

The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
Hi, Movim developer here https://movim.eu/
I'm really happy to finally see some modern bridging features integrated with XMPP and compatible with the latest standard (reactions, quotes, status...) !
