hi, congrats, here’s a cool froge cool froge:https://jlai.lu/pictrs/image/36681b63-a392-4a50-a1c3-aab7aecf3924.webp
That’s a very cool froge, and thanks !
On mastodon side there is iftas.
What would be an equivalent for lemmy?
Since I am on a single user instance, the instance receives only stuff from the communities I subscribe to.
This means that I just select what I am interested in.
So far after over 1 year I never seen a single “dangerous” piece of stuff, so I think the risk is a not overstated.
The downside is that my “all/everything” feed is identical to my subscribed feed, bummer.
So defederation just means we block some of instances

Hi ! I hope you are well ! Here is our weekly thread 😎
The fediverse is big ! Let’s share our small gold nugget found in the fediverse. :)
It could be :
- A new peertube channel
- An interesting mastodon account to follow
- Your new community ! Yes ! Why not ?
- An cool gallery of picture from pixelfed
- A playlist from funkwhale
- A text that moved you
Let’s dig together ! 😁
In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.
Anything you post on the internet is public knowledge forever. End of discussion. Most people won’t care at all, in most cases almost nobody or perhaps even literally nobody will ever even see it, but the harder you try to hide it, the more the Streisand Effect will magnify it until eventually everyone knows about it.
Anyone telling you they’ll delete your data from the internet without clarifying that it is in fact impossible, is at worst deliberately lying to you usually for their own benefit, and at best making a promise they literally have zero ability to keep.
I would hope that Fediverse services will never lie to you and tell you your data is deleted, because it can’t be.
I think not? Which is kind of a drawback to the fediverse. You gotta be careful what you post cause it’s probably gonna be somewhere forever.
I could be wrong though
On the behalf of the admin and moderation team:
We will not add age-verification unless we will literally be force-shutdown if we don’t.
If we do, it will be a one-on-one call in which you show one of us – personally, on our actual phone numbers or signal or some shit – your ID and we just put a little mark on your profile saying “yep we verified”
we will not, at any point, ever build age-verification into the software nor rely on my butt to do it. We don’t fucking want your data, it’s a massive risk to have around.
If we can get by without it, we will simply not do it, even if we have to block some countries. The UK is not a “target market” for app.wafrn.net as we have no target market.
I thought it was quite clear. Verifying your age with an alcohol purchase receipt is a dumb idea for a large variety of reasons, including ease of acquiring one, ease of copying images, ease of printing one yourself and the cumulative ease of doing all this without an actual adult willingly involved in your scheme. It’s is not nearly as fool proof as verifying government ID.
Of course, I’m against all invasive forms of age verification. Doesn’t mean I’m going to advocate for a rally bad alternative either.
They’re both dumb ideas. That’s the point.

So I’ve been thinking about the whole PSKY winning the bid for WBD situation, plus a ton of other US News sites being owned and controlled by MAGA — and now that PSKY owns massive legacy brands like CNN and platforms like TikTok, it got me wondering:
What would it look like if the Fediverse built its own large-scale news station?
And I don’t mean news apps (I know things like Flipboard already exist and are experimenting with federation). I mean:
A full-on journalism operation that is:
Fediverse-first
Hosted via PeerTube, Loops, its own website, etc.
Producing regular news broadcasts, investigative journalism, live streams, analysis panels, documentaries, etc.
Two Possible Models
- Professional Model (CNN-style equivalent)
A structured newsroom:
Editors, reporters, correspondents
Daily live broadcasts via PeerTube
Clip distribution via Loops
Federation across Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed
Transparent funding (co-op model? public donations? instance-backed?)
Essentially: a decentralized alternative to cable news, but not algorithm-driven or corporate-owned.
- Amateur / Grassroots Model
Think:
Independent PeerTubers collaborating
Loop creators reporting locally
Lemmy communities functioning as distributed editorial desks
Citizen journalism amplified through federation
This could look more like a decentralized wire service, where stories propagate organically across instances.
Alternative Idea: Federated News Aggregator
Instead of building from scratch, what if the Fediverse collaborated with existing independent outlets like:
World Socialist Web Site
Communist.red
Mother Jones
The Nation
Common Dreams
The Intercept
Jacobin
Cpusa.org
(And many others.)

Maybe:
A federated aggregator
A shared ActivityPub-based publishing layer
A “news hub” instance that boosts and categorizes content
Or something similar to the federated streaming marketplace idea I suggested before — but for journalism instead of an Amazon Prime alternative

Big Questions
Would a Fediverse news network increase credibility — or fragment it?
How would editorial standards work in a decentralized ecosystem?
Could co-op funding sustain professional reporting?
Would mainstream journalists ever migrate?
Should this aim to compete with centralized media — or complement it?
Also: would this risk becoming ideologically siloed? Or would federation naturally diversify perspectives?
Curious what everyone thinks.
Is this unrealistic? Inevitable? Already quietly happening?
Link to same post, but on Reddit:
The answer is in cross-posting.
They aren’t fediverse-first, and they’re French-based/French-focused/French-language-only, but Blast is an online, video-first news station that hosts their own peertube instance (https://video.blast-info.fr/) where they upload everything as well as putting their videos on YouTube. They also have a mastodon account where they share everything they publish: https://mamot.fr/@blast_info.
So, it’s definitely possible to have news on the fediverse, but I don’t think we’re at a point where it can be exclusively on the fedi - even if the stations’ website is ActivityPub-enabled, the majority of the people that a news station would want to reach just aren’t browsing the fediverse, let alone have accounts here.
I think topics and public feeds serve that role
Oh man, seeing folks suggest it as a Discord alternative always had me uninterested, because I don’t even use Discord and it just seemed like yet-another-standard.
Now I’m reading this really technical title for a talk which mentions XMPP and I’m instantly sold.
Well, to be honest, “Movim” also sounded like a VC-funded startup. Looks like it’s a bus-factor-of-1 open-source project instead, which I have significantly more trust in.
You have to ask whoever is running the server but it is possible
This reminds me of the way that forgejo lets you feed it an arbitrary openid url, sp you can log in with any service you want, including your own server.
This is awesome!!!!
