Today’s social media transform us into merely numbers.
No problem for me.
Alts: @Kierunkowy74 (kbin.earth) @Kierunkowy74 (PieFed)
Polish account: @Kierunkowy74
Mastodon: @74 or @Kierunkowy74 (alt)
kbin.social federates with Threads
ASCII byte is 7 bits. 8 bits is an octet.
1 floppy = 1.44 MO

Socialhome with its tiled display of posts
Bonfire, which is modular, and will be available in many flavours (for Open Science, organisations or simply a social network)
Mobilizon - events and groups.
Gancio - events, published anonymously. Instance can be followed from Fediverse as an account.
Bookwyrm for books
Postmarks - a federated bookmarking website
Funkwhale - for uploading and listening to music
Castopod - Wordpress but for podcasting?
Misskey and its forks - more than Twitter emulation - includes emoji reactions and animated text!
With biased by design I have meant something like Conservapedia, RationalWiki, etc… They do not try to make neutral point of view, as is (or at least should be) applied on Wikipedia.
You could peek at two opposing views on the same article, for example.
Post-truth as a service.
Wikipedia is not a Big Tech nor a commercial enterprise prone to enshittification nor it profits from surveillance capitalism. We don’t need another, competing, universal source of enclopedical information. Wikipedia, on contrary to X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. is not going anywhere. Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design.
However there are many thematical and fan wikis hosted on Fandom, which itself is a commercial company and there were already some contoversies concerning it. Wikis on Fandom are very resource-intensive compared to Wikipedia or independent thematical wikis.
Ability to edit at several wikis from the same account without being tied to Fandom could be one of things that Ibis offers and could benefit independent wiki sites.
And of course, MediaWiki is free software and federation could be added as a functionality.
Its federation. Even to that point, than I can reply to you when not using Lemmy at all. I am writing this from /kbin.
These are links that are most talked about.
„Connect with people, on your terms”
This time is probably unrelated to @ernest’s supposed inactivity. Actually, his another /kbin server, https://karab.in has been brought back on 15 of February.
Why not kbin.social? Well, this server is co-administered by FTdL (Technology for People Foundation) (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/177112).
Entire FTdL infrastructure was down from 16 o’clock in Cracow to this morning.
Wait, kbin.social shows that ONRYO has got already 236 rep
You are not seeing everything ;)
Asked a few qoto users, you actually are able to add a hashtag view as another column.
https://c.im has 5000 characters limit.
https://kolektiva.social (anarchist) has 10 000
https://infosec.exchange has 11 000 characters and formatting.
https://qoto.org has 65 535 character limit and other features, but some servers (including Universeodon and main British one - mastodonapp.uk) block it.
You probably want to use a regional instance to have more relevant users, groups and events, but there is a global search engine for Mobilizon
For example, I am using a Polish instance, with an unsuprising domain https://mobilizon.pl
With an account, you are able to publish events, with header image, title, category, tags, date, place, description (with formatting available), and metadata. The event can be accesible publicly, or only via link.
The event (if public) can federate (and be boosted to e.g. Mastodon) and be commented, but you are able to turn off the comments.
Individual account can only be followed from Friendica, but not from Mastodon.
For more features you want to create a group. A group can be followed from Friendica and Mastodon, but only Mobilizon accounts can become its members. Group members are able to participate in discussions (not visible from outside), manage a “common resource folder” - links, make group events and group announcements
You can experiment with Mobilizon features with a demo instance
There is already a Meetup alternative - Mobilizon
Nowadays, we have got two more Twitter alternatives - one more similar, than Mastodon (Bluesky) and one bigger than Mastodon (Threads).
All that “sign-up difficulties” (2, 6) should be no more after the official app making mastodon.social a default instance.
