@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.

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 Which app with AP integration did they use?
@jak2k@mastodontech.de micro.blog
@ozoned@btfree.social don't know if I can swing five nights away from the fam 
@julian@activitypub.space lol don't worry about it in the least. I wouldn't want to be away from my family that much either. But this is what the airline goddess gave me.
ChatGPT says Trump is 6'3" and 224 lbs. Based on an OBVIOUS Physician lie. I'm just in shock. Like... We have PICTURES. No one is painting his fat ass. Not enough canvas space in the world. But even the future won't believe THAT. I guess unless we create the trump universal standard system where we measure everything in "Trumps".
I think we should create that. A "trump" is one stack of bullshit high. Smells the same, looks the same, thinks the same!
@reiver@mastodon.social @julian@activitypub.space I want to say I fly in by mid day the 5th and leave LATE the 10th.
@ozoned yeah I just mention that's where I am instead of fb/insta and leave it at that.
@nigel@unsociable.lowkey.party excellent way to do it. 😄 let them ask you.
@evan@cosocial.ca AND SO AM I! I give fierce hugs and support! Plus I know a guy that's kind of a big deal. 😁 yeah it might not.
I'm also hoping to have some surprises for YOU Mr Evan Prodromou ! 😄
Congrats ! 👏
This looks awesome!

I talk about the #Fediverse whenever I get a chance. The trick is being receptive, not pushy. Let them try it in their own time.
Only saying this because I now have two long time friends actively participating in the Fediverse where 6 months ago they had no interest.
One was even using an app with AP integration and didn't even know it.
Anecdotal? Absolutely! But our reality is built on our perceptions.
Very excited by this! 😄

We have to stop pitching the Fediverse as the supermarket knockoff version of your favourite social network brand.
"Do you like Facebook? Try FaiceBlouk, a vaguely-related app!"
@evan@cosocial.ca feel free attend my topical presentation "The Fediverse Isn't..." At #fedicon2026 ! 😉
