@ozoned They are all so evil. This is right in line with the fossil fuel and cigarette companies.
@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social 100% what I was thinking. And big pharm pushing tons of ads showing all these happy people everywhere and a side effect is "spontaneous anal bleeding that could lead to deaht" or some shit like that. So fucking vominous.

@j12t@j12t.social @fediforum@mastodon.social platforms are working on event calendars. So in theory I'll be able to see upcoming conf and things.
Basically I'm lazy and I'd just like an easy way to track all the conferences. Even an iCal feed would be great.
😁
@fediforum@mastodon.social any chance we can get a federated calendar of events for the Events page? fediforum.org/events/
There's Mobilizon and Gancio that I know of right now. I'd love to be able to get notifications for this.
I konw a million things to do, and not enough time. 😊 But it's just a hope and wish and thought!
😁
Currently checking out activitypub.academy/ .
It's an emphemeral #Mastodon instance that can show you #ActivityPub flows.
This is so cool! 😁
Anyone know how makes or manages this?
It says it's administered by @crepels@activitypub.academy , but I don't think that's active.
Maybe it's @crepels@mastodon.social ? #Tech #Fediverse #FOSS
Thinking of adding ActivityPub to your project or a future project?
Don't know where to start?
activitypub.rocks/ is an excellent place.
They also have forums with massive amounts of helpful folks: socialhub.activitypub.rocks/
I'd also recommend Matrix! The Fediverse Developer's Network has some of the best folks actively working on AP software and they're all super friendly and coming.

Incredible data from @Vicinus@piefed.zip
@ozoned@btfree.social That was the joke. Never mind 🤣
@ozoned what about FFLOSS? XD
@miked@social.tchncs.de what you call FFLOSS I've taken to calling FLOSS + F.
Lol how many words can we put in this😹 ?
@ozoned@btfree.social Or perhaps just Federated Free Software? 😇
@hamishtpb@mewblog.thepolarbear.co.uk FFS just makes me think of for fuck sake. 😁
This sounds awesome imo:

@logan@social.logal.dev @dnpdame@mastodon.social can't beat that logic.
@ozoned @Mrfunkedude I agree with this but would also like to point out that both KDE and Gnome have user interface guidelines documents that will go a LOOOONG way to assist in usability. Go there first, leave the hard decisions to the experts.
@FeloniousPunk@beige.party @Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social
You mean designing apps to run in those environments?
I guess I should have specified that it's more web UX and UI design. 😁 Sorry about that.
Any #UX or #UI designers out there willing to lend a hand? Even constructive criticism is useful!
There are many projects out there that have developers, but need help and suggestions on the interface and design.
If anyone is willing to volunteer, please let me know. I've talked with a few devs that are dieing for some suggestions on how to improve design and usability. #software #design #foss #ffoss #volunteer #fedi #fediverse
"And while he's a VERY technical person, he's struggling to understand the AP connectivity. I totally understand, because I had 0 clue how it works initially either.
One of the things he mentioned was seeing "Sign-Up" or "Login" made thim think he needed yet ANOTHER sign up for a new platform."
Did your friend bother to --> try < -- the "Signup" or "Login" process?
Every time I've seen that it auto-fills with the user name and instance that whatever I'm using already knows I'm homed on and signed-in to
Perhaps he needs a different "app"...
@FinchHaven@sfba.social This is an excellent point.
Have the "Sign-Up" or "Login" or "Sign In" or whatever. You click that and then it lets you know that if you already have a Fediverse account, you can follow from there.
@ozoned a lot of this is marketing, though … 😬
@johannab@cosocial.ca Oh this is absolutely 100% marketing. But we can come up with our own language. We don't have a marketing department. 😁 But neither did the internet originally. We had to cretae words for this and then organically spread that.
I personally learned things like LOL and BRB via IRC channels.
Good day all.
I was livestreaming to a friend yesterday to explain the Fediverse. tubefree.org/w/kF5XSffqNr13x... if you'd care to watch.
And while he's a VERY technical person, he's struggling to understand the AP connectivity. I totally understand, because I had 0 clue how it works initially either.
One of the things he mentioned was seeing "Sign-Up" or "Login" made thim think he needed yet ANOTHER sign up for a new platform.
We are changing the game so fundamentally that we have to overcome 20+ years of bullshit.
THIS is literally what we're trying to solve. And I think we struggling with wording that indicate we're different, but similar.
I've been calling the #Fediverse #smallSocial instead of #socialNetwork or #socialMedia .
I was wondering if folks had any thoughts on how we can change "Sign-Up" or "Login" to let folks know if you have a Fedi account you do NOT need to sign up for another platform.
Thoughts?
@ozoned you
@logan@social.logal.dev Oh. TY. IDK how you smell me, but I put on cologne. For my wife really. @dnpdame@mastodon.social .
